Machine1, I can select Bitmap font + Large size font.
But not in Machine 2. As soon I pick Large the font change to Unicode and after saving and restart spine the old settings returns, Bitmap and medium size font.
3.7.94 is very old, but IIRC make sure interface scale is 100 and the language is not Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. Then as long as the font size is Medium or Large, it should be possible to choose Bitmap.
I gave it a try and it appears 3.7 does not allow use of the bitmap font with the large font size. I assume you must be mistaken that one computer can do it, because 3.7 does not contain the large font as bitmaps. We added that in a later version, sorry!
Hardcover photobook spines can be customized with text. This is an optional feature. If you'd prefer a blank spine you can leave the text box blank. *Please note Softcover books are not presently supported.*
Font styles can be formatted like text within any photo project. However, please note that due to the complexities of spine printing on hardbacks, we have limited the ability to change the Font or Size of the text on the spine. This helps us to prevent accident driven quality issues due to simple spine errors.
Have done this before, but cannot repeat it now. My book has a spine that needs content. Spine object has been created as a portion of the cover based on a template provided by my printing outsource. I moved the spine object away from the main document and rotated it 90 degrees counterclockwise so that I could type into it. What I _seem to be seeing_ is that the string of typed characters is running displaced 90 degrees from the rotated, horizontal spine. (very strange, to me).
As I understand, it's a convention in certain countries to put the title top-to-bottom (Wikipedia: "In the United States, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, titles are usually written top-to-bottom, and this practice is reflected in an industry standard;[18] when the book is placed on a table with the front cover upwards, the title is correctly oriented left-to-right on the spine. In most of continental Europe, the general convention is to print titles bottom-to-top on the spine.").
Well, I got my answer there, but I am actually wondering about the reason for putting the title the opposite way, because I am from Croatia, so books that I do do not fit in the countries mentioned above. I know that most things in book design and typography have some justification in history of type and bookmaking, so if anyone has an answer to this one, I would really appreciate it.
In Italy you will see both. I think it's a clash of conventions: the readability of the title if the book is placed on a table versus the graphic design convention that says that, if a text is placed vertically, it should read from the bottom.
If you need to set a book spine I think you should look for book similar to the one you need to set and see what solution they adopt. Then deciding accordingly.
Does anyone have any information on when titles began to be set running predominately along a vertical axis as opposed to horizontal? Nineteenth century, I believe. I'll bet there was a lot of variation regardless of geography. Here is a hypothesis: Well-known bookbinders in big cities set the standards for the region.
Thank you all very much! If I found out anything more/else, i'll post it here.
@ oprion: Thanks for giving me some sort of explanation. My entire family consists of architects, so they attacked some of my books with their arguments, which ofcourse does not have a lot to do with bookmaking-logic. This will help me prepare for round two - xmas dinner :-)
Re to the original question: this can be a cultural matter. Anyway, FWIW, Jorge de Buen in his Manual de diseo editorial states that bottom-to-top is more legible than the other way around. He includes the following example:
For other people with the same problem - I am posting here my hypothesis in a nutshell - if you want to see the rationale or some supporting data, you have to check my page with Mozilla or Chrome browsers (and perhaps others will also do the job).
Given their primary function as advertisements, it is surprising that book spines are not used more for promotion than they are. Images of biographical subjects occur not infrequently on spines, but images of authors themselves, such as Andrew Marr for My Trade, are surprisingly rare. Rarer still are recommendations, such as the starry statements included on the spine of the paperback edition of Team of Rivals (neatly incorporated into the USA-themed design).

This font was created around the theme of decay. I took inspiration from shapes and forms within the pieces of a badger's spine and manipulated them to construct the alphabet. Here is my blog :) > website>

The average head weighs 10 to 12 pounds. But did you know that weight more than doubles when your head is tilted forward just 15 degrees? Worse yet, many people who text with their chin near the neck are tilting the head forward 60 degrees, which increases the load to about 60 pounds.
With that in mind, try to keep your head and spine in neutral positions with the ears directly above the shoulders throughout the day. For example, hold your phone or tablet up a little higher, closer to eye level to minimize stress on your neck. If you have a desk job, remember basic things such as using a chair that helps your back stay upright, keep your feet flat on the floor, and position your monitor at eye level to avoid looking up or down too much.
In general, finding ways to keep the neck and body more active, rather than hunched over a mobile device, is best for the spine. For example, try scheduling just a few times per day to check text messages and emails, rather than responding multiple times per hour.
Any exercise program to help alleviate text neck pain and reduce forward head posture typically involves addressing and reversing these muscle imbalances to restore a more naturally-aligned posture. Some common options include:
Hi. I'm Natalie, and today Veritas Health is going to bring you three gentle stretches to help prevent neck pain. Being in repetitive or habitual postures can encourage a forward head posture and cause more strain through the neck and the chest. To prevent these, doing some regular exercises that promote muscle flexibility and more upright posture can be beneficial. The first exercise I'm going to show you guys, it's a chin tuck. To do this, you'll place your finger on your chin. You will then move your head straight backwards so there's space between your chin and your finger. If you're doing this correctly, you should get a little bit of a double chin. Let's go through 10 of those.
While doing the chin tuck, you might feel some muscle activation or some stretching through the back of your head. This is a great exercise to help encourage a more upright head posture, and it can be done in multiple sets of 10 throughout the day. The next stretch I'm going to show you guys to help prevent neck pain is the levator scapular stretch. This will help stretch out a muscle that runs along the side of your neck. To do this, you can head over to a doorway or a wall. So you're going to stand by a wall or a doorway and put your forearm against the wall so your elbow and your shoulder are at about a 90-degree bend. You then are going to look towards your opposite collarbone and pull your head down until you feel a gentle stretch through the side of your neck. Hold this for about 10 seconds.
And remember, if any of these exercises increase your symptoms or cause more pain, please consult with your provider. The third stretch will do is a doorway stretch or a corner stretch to help stretch the muscles of your chest. We'll head over to a corner for this. I'm going to show you guys a corner stretch to help address muscle tightness through the front of the chest and encourage a more upright posture. To do this, you'll stand in a corner a doorway with your forearms against a wall and elbows a little bit lower than your shoulders. You can stagger your feet for a little extra balance, and then lean into it until you feel a gentle stretch to the front of your chest. Hold this for 10 seconds.
Some evidence also suggests that performing exercises and stretches in a school setting can help improve posture. One study looked at 130 teenagers with forward head and protracted shoulder posture. Half of the students were enrolled in a physical education class that also included exercises and stretches designed to correct postural muscle imbalances. After 16 weeks, the students in the class with targeted exercises had more improvements in both neck and shoulder posture compared to the other students.2Ruivo RM, Pezarat-Correia P, Carita AI. Effects of a resistance and stretching training program on forward head and protracted shoulder posture in adolescents. J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2017; 40:1-10.
As an overall guide, regularly engaging in exercise that teaches posture and body awareness is an excellent way to counteract the tendency of developing neck pain from poor posture. Examples of such exercise programs include yoga, Pilates, Alexander Technique, and others.3Becker JJ, Copeland SL, Botterbusch EL, Cohen RG. Preliminary evidence for feasibility, efficacy, and mechanisms of Alexander technique group classes for chronic neck pain. Complement Ther Med. 2018;39:80-86.
