comment Which fonts were used in this presentation?
+1 for sharing the method: PDF preflight info is also how I figure out/simulate brand colors etc. when someone can't or won't provide a branding document.

comment What is the best way to save an image to a publication that will allow you to zoom in to greater detail
I think there is good advice here, but the important advice embedded in the original question is not emphasized enough: ISSUU.com uses a proprietary PDF viewer, so the question isn't "is it supported in the PDF standard?" but rather "is it supported by their viewer?" My guess is "no" partly because allowing and supporting arbitrary binaries embedded within documents becomes a technology nightmare and a large security surface for HAX.

comment How to remove part of a raster image?
I meant to say that the image posted int he original questions was a greyscale close up of the windows xp stock icon. I may be wrong, but I never meant to suggest that iconfactory invented the "i" nor the typeface.

comment Interactively drag constrained 45°/90° line
you can click and hold the mouse and hold the space bar down to get you a rubberband with a movable anchor, but you cannot combine that with the angle constraint hot key (shift space changes to the hand tool) AFAIK.

comment Should fonts always be very “formal” on a legal page?
Note that for US court filings minimum 12 pt type is fairly universal, also, times or courier are recommended, but no States seem to have a requirement except NJ which has a 65 characters per line max (!).

comment Is QuarkXpress still relevant?
"relevant" and "popular" are not synonyms with "legacy"

Exactly. However, the question is geared towards professional work and workers. If a lot of the google trend is about how to make a circle, we should be cognizant of that when evaluating the data point.

Some of my first jobs were with Pagemaker. Step one, find out what prepress machine your printer is using before laying out your job, step 2 bid out job, step 3..

Bear in mind that could be mostly people who don't know what they are doing looking for tutorials. I expect that Quark has a much smaller market share for amateurs and pir8tes, if only because of word of mouth.

I find it funny that you call software released in 2012 as "legacy"

FWIW I use inDesign mostly for freelance, but Quark at work because we have a huge library of legacy stuff. I think Quark is superior from a document navigation and useability standpoint: there are some tweaks which Adobe could do to the tool selection and navigation.

comment Transparency dithering issue when saving for web
I have heard rumours that png8 supports alpha transparency, but has imperfect browser support and Photoshop does not export it.
