I got a monthly subscription on myfonts for 18EUR/month. 150 Frutigers to choose from. But it doesn’t look as good as I thought it would!

Here’s by far the best thing I’ve read about fonts:

I’m running 13.2.0.49 and I will never ever ever ever be upgrading. I have a monthly license for that.
Actually, you gave me hope and I did some more research. I think I will be OK as long as all my Frutigers get converted to bitmaps even in an app or on the web.
The very strange thing is that while Adobe lists Frutiger in that link I gave above, and here they are listed as the publisher of the font (https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/frutiger/), Frutiger nowhere appears on Adobe’s typekit.com website.
My only guess is that either the owner of the Linotype font is no longer using Adobe as the publisher. Or Adobe has decided to publish it outside their bundles.
I’m probably going to have to plunk down about 150 EUR for three versions of it. Just three short years ago the cost would have been 90USD.
Money is not really the issue though. If you read around, you will see a LOT of people who have VERY SERIOUS work getting needlessly stressed out about OBSCURE font EULAs.

And on that first Adobe link, you can see that Frutiger only gets a 1. So, I don’t think I’m good to go across the board. As far as I can tell, most good fonts payments based on monthly page views.

Hmm. I don’t have any friends, so I certainly didn’t get any font from a friend. I only have CC and ten totally free fonts that I got from fontsquirell. But I called a font salesperson the other day to ask about Frutiger I basically ended up hanging up on her after she told me that I needed to sign up for a monthly bankwidrawl and I would have to give her an estimate of the number of pageviews for the website. And we didn’t even get to discussing app usage.
If you look here for the CC fonts, you will see numbers 1-4 that indicate difffent terms: https://www.adobe.com/products/type/font-licensing/additional-license-rights.html
And if you look here, you can see that there are two Adobe plans that go beyond the basic CC terms: https://typekit.com/
And the question still remains what happens if I cancel CC after the project is finished.

Thanks!
Actually, what I decided to do was to create about 60 animation presets with the fill and the keyframes. Reason for 60 being that there are only about 60 possible time values. That way, I never need to go in and adjust keyframes–especially that pesky third one that is needed just to make sure the original color is set for the first part of the layer.

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

(Wierd, I couldn’t find the edit button for my last post.)
So, the 3000 are shape layers from photoshop. I actually need the anchor point to be in the vertical center of the right side of each shape. I probably should just write a script that does the add subtraction thing I mentioned above. I wonder if there is a way of having AE detect the location of the right edge of a rectangle?
-
Maybe I should just add the adjustments to the position and subtract them from the anchor point. That sorta thing. Then I could do it with the keypad.
Why so many? Well, I have about 3000 to do. It’s a whole extended family of videos. Not just one. The shapes cum text get imported from Photoshop and their position is pixel perfect. But the anchor point is right in the middle of the composition whereas I need each shape’s anchor point to be in it’s center (I’m lying just a tad here, but just a tad.).

The colors will change from project to project, as will the exact time values, but there will only be two colors. Does a fill effect work with text?
