MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 24, 2014 You should not vector text, Only as a last resort Find the font and recreate the text. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted February 24, 2014 Maybe this helps.. The text isn't perfect... It's just aharoni and somewhat close. HPIM_0325b.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted February 24, 2014 I dont use scalp... what files will it import? eps? svg? ai? cdr? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottylwildman 1 Posted February 24, 2014 I think the file type for import are .eps .plt .png .wpc .svg . .scut .scut2 .svg2 .scut3 .scal .ai .pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted February 24, 2014 The eps file I provided is already a vector image... I presume you would open SCALP and import the downloaded image. The letters will be exactly as I have created. (eg. not messed up) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,451 Posted February 24, 2014 The "K" in your original is not the same as those other reproductions. That is a special K -- try Frankiln Gothic Bold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
