The next project that we are coding in, we are making the UI flat, can anyone suggest some good fonts that would look good with it and which are freely available.

In Illustrator I'm creating a logo to go in the top corner of a greater image.

Is it possible to add a hyperlink to an object or a layer within Illustrator CS6 for a later SVG export?

When placing a *.ai in InDesign, InDesign auto-crops the frame if part of the Illustrator artboard is empty. Even if I outline the Illustrator artboard with a no-stroke, no-fill rectangle, InDesign will lop off the part where it sees no ink.

Could anyone determine this font used for categories in the picture below?
