Font help question

[3Deep]

Steve aka Sbrem had a post on here explaining how to add color to a  open font or a font that is already outlined, I can't find it, it was done in Illy.

I don't quite understand your question D...

Menu:
Type-create outlines

Window:
Pathfinder - merge

ungroup: ctrl+shift+G

select the non filled paths inside the outlines and fill with color

Now I get it, and yes, that's pretty much it.

That's it, when you don't use that all time you forget the simple, for me that's all the time, I could have done in Photoshop but Steve showed me the light!!!!!

I originally learned that from a sign program, Flexi-Sign. It had a load of vector editing tools, I imagine the sign programs still do, though they are outputting more digitally now.
