Adding a gradient to a line?
Fonts with Leopard
Below is copy of your post about converting fonts to True Type. I tried converting one of my Postscript fonts with FontXChange to TrueType with negative results. I put the converted folder in my user/Library/fonts folder and still could not get the font to print correctly. Should I have restarted after replacing the folder? Please give me your advice.
Regards,

Because of this, we are into workaround territory when aspects of FH fail to
work on new operating systems. When printing Postscript fonts from FH on
Leopard I have resorted to workarounds. Here are some that work for me.
1. Duplicate file, convert text to paths, print. The original file remains
editable.
2. Print to a Postscript file formatted for the printer. Drag the Postscript
file to the printer's print queue.
3. Print to Postscript file. Distill. Print the resulting PDF from Acrobat
Pro.
4. Switch to TrueType versions of fonts.

Freehand MX font handling
problems exporting eps
error message
"could not draw the document because un unknown error occured"
the image is not built up properly, sometimes part of the drawing
disappeares. I can save the drawing, restart FreeHand and get the drawing
back, but then after a while the problem starts again.
Memory is not the problem; I have 3 gig.
Looks like FREEHAND!!!!
FreeHand MX quit unexpectedly everytime I try to print

FreeHand MX bouncing in the dock...
FreeHand is not launching. I have had this problem before. I have a copy of the HotFix (HotFix_OSX_Upgrades_1.039en), but I cannot launch it - "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges". So repaired permisions, still won't work. Also what is the link to the HotLink download, I can't find it anymore. Getting worried, deadlines looming!
Macromedia Freehand 9 - transform panel
Hi
I use Macromedia Freehand 9 which has been working well. I have had this working on my new laptop on Windows 7. Recently I got a LCD monitor and have it connected as an extended laptop. I had opened a FH9 file and dragged FH9 application, along with the transform, colour mixer, colour list and object panels, onto the LCD monitor. They were operating fine.
When I'd finished I dragged them back onto the laptop screen but for some reason the transform panel disappeared. I have an icon for each of these in the bar of icons along the top. When I click on the transform icon nothing happens (except the screen does I kind of flick like something is going to change but it doesn't). I have minimised the file I opened in case it was 'behind' it but nothing. When I click on the others they close and open fine.
I tried clicking on the object and clicking modify at the top and coming sown to transform and selecting one of the options but nothing happens. I have also gone to customise and taken the icon off the toolbar and put it back again. I have also closed the programme in between these steps in case it needed refreshing.
Under Windows/Panels there is a tick beside Transform. If I take it off and then click on the Transform icon screen does that quick kind of flick thing but nothing happens and when I check back in Windows/Panels the tick is back there.
I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programme but have the same result. Only difference is when programme opens after installing it and I open a file I can open the transform box by clicking on the icon in the toolbar and I can rotate, move, change size etc but after closing the file and reopening it, it's gone back as above and won't come up.
I've also tried the defaults option in the preferences. However it has not brought up the transform box. I just get the same quick flick of the screen each time I did Ctrl-M.
I have also tried the transform short cuts like Ctrl-E and Ctrl-F2 but same result. This seems a bit weird, I have had a look in google for help but the help I seem to have found is in how to use the transform functions. I do know how to use, it's just I can't access them. With the quick flick thing the screen does it's almost like it's behind somewhere or off the side but just can't seem to figure it.
Do you have any idea what's gone wrong or how I can get it back.
Any help to restore the settings would be absolutely wonderful.
Cheers
Bernadette
Did latest Mac 10.5.8 update kill Freehand?
Long time FH user, didn't upgrade to Snow Leopard specifically to keep FH running. It's been humming along on my MacBook Pro for 2 years. Yesterday I allowed an automatic Apple system update as I do all the time and now Freehand will no longer start. The icon bounces around in the dock as if it's starting, settles, but never opens on the desktop. Right click on the icon shows 'application not responding.' So I uninstalled/reinstalled, repaired permissions, tried to open on another user account. No luck. Anyone have any ideas? I'm seriously going to have to find an old Tiger Mac just to open my files and convert to Illustrator if I can't get this resolved.

I need to REinstall my freehand MX 11.0.2 to my IBOOK 10.3.3. The installer cd does not accept my serial number. Why?
Freehand MX on Windows 7-64 with multiple user profiles
We have recently replaced a WinXP computer with a Win7-64 machine, and the machine has multiple user profiles (one for the day shift person and one for the evening shift person).
I was able to transfer the license using the day-shift profile, but the evening-shift profile still thinks the software is not licensed. I tested with on a Win7-32 machine, and Freehand does not get confused about its license.
Is there a solution for this?

Squares in Indesign CS4 but not in CC?
Hi,
I get squares in Indesign CS4 but not in CC when I export a pdf. Does anybody know why?? It happens to some of the Helvetica font, but not all of it.
It's really confusing for me, and I don't want to change for CC just because of this problem.
