Can I use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CS3?

Can I use Hebrew fonts, which are loaded and enabled in Illustrator, CS3? Although they are listed in the Character palette, the Hebrew fonts appear at the bottom of the list enclosed in < > brackets. When I choose such a Hebrew font, the letters appear as blank rectangles in my document? Font Book says they are valid Truetype fonts. What's wrong?
Thanks for any help.

i found this info from this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3466307. The user who asked this question stats this solution worked for them.
First in Language and text preferences in the system preferences select Hebrew as the input method.
The in Illustrator click the text tool in your document or drag to create a text frame.
While the cursor is active select a hebrew font
then go to the menu bar for the finder and where there is the American Flag pull it down and select hebrew
now go back to the document and start typing.
Remember if you do not have the ME version you have to have it flush right and type backwards.

I want to use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CC 2014

Hello - I have installed Illustrator CC 2014 in both the English and English/Hebrew versions and still can't seem to get my Hebrew fonts to work. No matter what I try, any verbiage I type is still showing as roman characters. Any tips or advice?

I also need larger text in tabs.

Can I use Web Fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop?

I'd like to use a few of the web fonts for a clients project but I need to be able to have the fonts available for me in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Dreamweaver and Muse.
I am a full Creative Cloud Subscriber and need to have complete integration across all or most products.
Thank you for help in advance

The short answer is this is not possible.
The long answer is Photoshop & Illustrator use print fonts installed on your system (True Type, Open Type, Post Script).
Web fonts (ie: Google, TypeKit, Edge, etc...) need a web browser to display them because they use file types that are not recognized by other applications.

EOT Lite (uncompressed)
TTF (raw TrueType Fonts for screen)
SVG (xml version)
SVGZ (gzipped version)

Illustrator can't use bitmap fonts?

In the list of available fonts, Illustrator CS5 just doesn't show a particular bitmap font (maybe it's skipping some others too, but I didn't check). I'm sure the font works well, in fact it shows up and works normally in Photoshop, and I also use it for interface in some other software that allows customizing of interface - in a few years never had a problem. If it matters, it's a fon file.
Digging around the internet I didn't see anybody complaining about it, the only thing I've found is an article for beginners that talks about using bitmap fonts as if it were perfectly possible.
So, how can I use this font in my documents? Or will I have to design everything in Illustrator and then finish it in Photoshop.
Edit: if it matters I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

That's true, but what made me think Illustrator should be able to read a puny bitmap font is (among other things) this piece - I wouldn't trust it too much ("Pixel fonts are quite popular these days. It all started in Flash…") but it actually has screenshots, so I assumed they must have materialized from somewhere (and what it says about positioning of the lines is true, so it probably knows what it's talking about).
Edit: and I just noticed… the fonts I actually have as "Hidden" (in the Font control panel) show up in Illustrator all right - Comic Sans says hello (I should have uninstalled it instead of hiding it I guess). Heh…

Using Sonata Font in Illustrator on IBookG4

I'm using Sonata Font in Illustrator on an IBookG4 laptop and I'm suddenly NOT able to get all of the music notation that I can on a desktop.
For example, each character on the keyboard corresponds to each musical notation; then there is the shift + character to get more musical notation; and also option + character to get the rest of the musical notation.
I can not use option + character to get the last of the musical notation that I need.
Is it the laptop keyboard or Illustrator?
Please advise

There may be some kind of font conflict; the use of a font utility or other
tool may be warranted. This specialized use of software appears to have
limited your hoped-for replies in solving the immediate problem.
In other instances, where some keyboard combinations don't work on a
portable Apple computer (whether or not they did work, then failed, is
another matter) there is an Apple support document which suggests
the use of an external keyboard will do more than the built-in one can.
The following link may not apply to your situation, or model:
[ Apple Portables: Some Key Combinations May Not Be Recognized... ]
I'm wondering if there isn't something simple, other than managing fonts,
that could help this issue go away. I suppose you've tried routine system
maintenance such as repair disk permissions and other duties; and if
the hardware is suspect, ran the Apple Hardware Test to see if there is
another indication of a keyboard failure..? Since you say it was sudden,
I wonder if the built-in keyboard is the problem. Best of luck...!

Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose?

hi!
I make a e-book and it will be published on appstore and android market as application.
I'm wondering about font.
Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose like me?
I bought a mountain lion on appstore.
I look forward to hearing from apple whether it is lawful or not.
Have a blessed day~:)

Strangely, there isn't and end user license on Apple's site regarding iOS. But here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

EPS File Not Using Proper Fonts in Illustrator

I am trying to import an EPS file that I created in Finale 2014 into Illustrator CS6 (64 bit). It seems to not want to use the Maestro font for the noteheads, rather replacing it with Myriad Pro. I have tried this on multiple machines with the same result. I have tried to switch the font manually, but it will not change.
Likewise, I can open the file in Photoshop just fine with all fonts intact.
I need it as an EPS file because I need to be able to ungroup the vectors and alter them in Illustrator.

devinc,
Maybe the maestro font is not up the requirements.
Illy is particularly particular about the quality of fonts, because she can work with them at a deeper/higher level than most, so you can easily have a font that works in all other applications, but Illy refuses to recognize it as a font.
Some failing fonts discussed in earlier threads have turned out to have rather basic flaws, such as redundant, superfluous, or (if I remember rightly) even stray points, or other clear errors in the paths that they consist of.
You may need to look for similar fonts that Illy is willing to work with.

Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

Using Adobe Ideas with Illustrator CS3

I am using Adobe Ideas in an iPhone. I have Adobe Illustrator CS3 which won't open the idea file. Do I need to update my version of Illustrator or is there some way to open the files with the version I have? Also, are they vector or rastor files?

Hi! You are correct, Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open an Ideas file. As a minimum, you will need Adobe Illustrator CS5, which also requires the Ideas/Illustrator plugin. If you upgrade to Illustrator CS5, you need to download & install the Creative Cloud desktop application and then install the Touch Apps Plugins.
Alternatively, if you upgrade to the latest Adobe Illustrator, you should be able to open your Ideas files in it directly.
Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
