san serif search

[emucru]

I'm looking for a font and maybe someone can help me out. I'm not asking anyone to research this just if they know any off hand.

The font will be used for product information in catalogues.

Criteria
-something similar to Franklin Gothic (that is what we currently use)
-has to be sans serif
-a very large/extensive set of fractions (thats why I want to switch - frnk gothic's set is small)
-a large family of bolds, italics, etc.
-clear and legible at smaller font sizes

Anything suggestions would be helpful. Thanks all!

I love Hypatia Sans Pro...It may not be similar enough to FG, though.

I used to have hypatia sans but I can't seem to find it. Did it ship with CS3 or was it a selected gift?

Can you not purchase it off the Adobe site. I can't see how right now.:confused:

How is the fraction set?

[garricks]

Hm, I think it was a selected gift with registration in CS3, but was included in the font set in CS4. The fraction set incudes halves, quarters, thirds and eighths. It also includes sets of superscript & subscript numbers to create your own.

Weird, I just installed CS4 but ATM says I'm missing the font. Anybody have a shovel I need to do some more digging. :confused:

I'd suggest Futura or Avant Garde.

Hey Garricks (or anyone else).

I'm going to see if I can search backups for my missing hypatia font. Can someone let me know what the file name is?

HypatiaSansPro-Regular.otf

And now I'm pretty sure it was one of the gifts either in CS2 or CS3, and a full range of weights was included in CS4. I haven't found proof, though.
