Archer Font Issues

[Tamara]

Hi! I need to add the archer numerals to a business card but I cannot get the numbers to all sit on the base line. I have tried using Caps to type the numerals but it wont work! Please help!

Apart for the expected overshoot of the round glyphs, they look aligned to me.

Hi Riccardo, Thank you for your response. The sample image is what I need to achieve. Attached is the font in its current state.I have tried a few variants of the Archer font. These do not sit on the base line.

Ah, OK. It looks like Archer has old style numerals as default. How to activate lining numerals depends on the program you use.

Hi, yes it has. I am using Corel Draw and illustrator to try and figure this out. I have tried converting the numerals to Caps and it has not worked...

For Illustrator:

Of course this assumes that you use a recent OpenType version of the font, not an outdated PostScript Type 1 version.

I don’t have a recent version of CorelDraw but it seems to be in the Object Properties Panel.

The cursor is on fractions, but the button left to it should be the figure style.

Hi Ralf, thank you for the response! I have just done that in Illustrator.

 

Thank you Riccardo and Ralf for your assistance! 😀
