Mid-week Q&A

It's been a few weeks since the last Q&A. I've had a number of questions in the meanwhile but in anticipation of a dry spell I'm metering them!

Q: we only have printed copies of our logo. How can we track down the font used?

Next time you have some interesting typography and want to track down the font, take a snap and load the picture to the WhatTheFont service: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

You will be prompted to ratify or correct its character matching before it gives you a report of potential matches.

If you're a real typophile you can also download the app for your iOS or Android device.

Q: sometimes I go into the email on my Android phone and I can't find my work Exchange emails: what's happening?

On most Android devices you'll find two email programmes, the default Android mail programme (Mail) and the Gmail app. The Gmail app uses any Google accounts loaded on the device and displays only those mailboxes, whereas the Mail app allows you to configure non-Gmail accounts.

If you're only operating Google emails that's not too much of a problem, however if you're using Exchange, Yahoo or another mail provider you'll want to ensure that you're selecting the correct app.
