We love designing with fonts on our Artisan pages! Our computers come with pre-installed fonts, but very often we are looking for more than the standard fonts. It won’t be long before you have hundreds if not thousands of Windows installed fonts. When you create a "live" text box (the text is editable) in Artisan, the software is using the Windows Fonts Folder to create that text. When you change computers and that same font is not on the new computer, the "live" text box will default to the standard font, Microsoft Sans Serif.

With all the love and care and effort you put into your Artisan projects, the last thing you want to happen is for them to be lost or damaged because of computer failure or other disasters. Backing up is vital, and there are lots of methods of backing up. One excellent way to save your pages and projects is to upload them to your Forever account.

When creating a full backup to DVD or CD, every item in your media vault is backed up. As your media vault grows, this system takes longer to perform, and fills more discs. Since most items in your media vault have not changed since the last backup, you really only need to backup new or changed items to stay up to date. This is when Incremental Backups are used. *Note: What is referenced as a Vault in Historian 4 has had the terminology changed in Historian 6. In Historian 6, the Vault is now known as the Cabinet.
