Arial Font <640kb

Post by cvila »

Hi,
Does anybody have Arial.ttf smaller than 640kb? I have checked my PCs and Macs at work and they are all above that size...
QC sadly rejects it otherwise and client insists on using Arial...
Thanks!

Do you have access to subtitled IOP DCPs?

Using the fonts from an Interop DCP may or may not work, depending on whether the fonts are "compressed", where glyphs will be missing.
More info here: https://dcpomatic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2508
The way towards the compressor from Texas Instruments as well.
Some professional subtitling programs offer that function as well. To the best of my knowledge, Subtitle Edit does not.
