Issue: resolving artist font to custom NDPMTG font results in weird text #8

Closed FlorisWarmenhoven closed 4 years ago

FlorisWarmenhoven commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

I downloaded all the fonts as described. When running the proxyAll script, a message popped up that the MTG2016 font could not be resolved. I checked your FAQ and followed the steps. I opened up the normal.psd and resolved the Artist font (which was showing an error) to the NDPMTG font. This is then the text at the bottom of the card:

What am I doing wrong?

FlorisWarmenhoven commented 4 years ago

Not resolving it results in text like this:

ah, I think what's going on when it resolves the missing font is it makes the entire text layer that font, not just the one character with the missing font.

I'll update my templates shortly to resolve this fully, but in the meantime, you can open up the template, opt to not resolve the font, then select the a character and change that character to the NDPMTG font, and save & close the template (make sure you select the empty Layer 1 layer before saving).

Sorry about this!

No need to be sorry. I'm really happy you're so on top of this!

Feel free to close this issue when you've resolved the problem. :)

forgot to close this issue until now, but this should be resolved for all templates
