CS6 Font conflicts

Hi
We have recently upgraded to CS6 (illustrator and Indesign) at work, however, fonts that are on our system that worked with CS3 are no longer viewable in CS6 for some reason. The particular font is NewhouseDT with it's greek, cyrillic and romanian versions no longer workable. They don't even appear in any font menus...any ideas anyone?

You’ll be much better off posting in the ID or Illy forums for something like this.

CS6 font conflict

I just upgraded to CS6 -- In Design, Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font issues and problems I didn't have with CS6. Anyone have any Ideas how to remedy this? I have Mac/OSX10.6.8. Font Book 2.2.2 (163.2)

And what font conflicts specifically? Do fonts not show up? Do fonts appear under wroing names and groupings? You need to explain better.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

CS6: Fonts not showing up in Indesign or other adobe programs

There are missing fonts in several of our files due to moving our marketing inhouse.
I have installed the Avenir complete font family into C:\Windows\Fonts and a lot of them aren't showing up in InDesign or the other Adobe programs.
After looking at some other forums I followed the instructions to place them into;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Fonts
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
STILL The only fonts showing up are;
Avenir 35 Light
Avenir 45 Book
Avenir 55 Roman
Avenir 65 Medium
We have already been using this font for all our printing so changing is not an option.
Could someone give me some other suggestions?

Have you rebooted? What format is the font? Does it show correctly in any applications?

Mail/Web possible font conflict?

Having trouble with getting Mail to look right. There are large spaces between the lines in the top portion containing From, Subject, Date, To, etc. On some websites this space also occurs or the type lays on top of each other. In iTunes the lists are spread apart or when viewing songs the songs won't show up until you run the mouse over them.
Running Lion 10.7.3
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
24" Monitor

This may happen if you install and/or delete fonts or perhaps a font conflict.
Check fonts for display in both Mail.app and Safari, this is in preferences.
Also open Font Book and see whether you have duplicated fonts, this may happen if you install MS Office, and choose to also install fonts, some MS fonts are installed by Mac OS installer, and some of those installed by Office may be in fact older than those in Mac OS installer. Duplicated fonts are marked by a yellow point. If so, deactivate or even remove them.
Sometimes it is useful to clean font cache, especially after deleting/installing fonts. You may use a free app like Onyx, download the version for Lion, not another.

Font Conflict

I just installed Tiger (10.4.9) and am now having font conflicts. I purchased fonts from fontdiner.com and 8 of the 12 fonts are now "in conflict" with system fonts. Nothing else has changed but the installation of Tiger.
Hope someone can help me. The fonts in question were used in freelance work and I'll need them again soon.
Thanks.

Hi stubbie7, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I find mine here...
/Library/Fonts/Futura.dfont
But some APPs keep them or references to them like here...
/Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/FuturaCondensedExtraBold.ps
Does FontBook or FontExploereX show what you're looking for?

Lion OS and possible font conflicts

I wish to upgrade to the new Lion OS, but would like to know if the new OS Lion has the same font conflicts that Snow Leopard had with Helvetica and ITC Garamond Type 1 fonts?
Thanks

It isn't released yet, so no one knows. Also many font conflicts in 10.6 are resolved with the font update for 10.6.7:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
Others, specific to non-updated applications may not be fixed. Perhaps it might be best if you asked in your specific application forum if the conflicts people have had are fixed in 10.6.7 first. Or wait until 10.7's release and find out what the case may be. Some point next month it should be released. And yes, according to the specs, it looks like you'll need to purchase 10.6, and apply either the 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 combo followed by the font update, and then determine if you are ready for 10.7. But that may change once it is released in July.
If you desire a direct upgrade path, please post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/

MacBook Pro running slow if at all and font conflicts

My MacBook Pro is really not responding and I keep getting pop ups that say there is a conflict with a font file. I was just on it on Sunday morning and it worked just fine. Later that evening these font conflicts appeared, but I hadn't done anything crazy for them to pop up. Please help..

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Problems With User Account? Try Resolving Font Conflicts!

After installing SL as an upgrade, one of my user accounts could not install software, switch to the other account, or do anything where the system would ask for the account password.
I tried resolving this by doing several things like remove all other language keyboards, deleting all files in the user/library/preferences folder, removing the user/lib/pref/byhost files, and the standard repair permisssions, etc.
I then remembered a message which said something about font conflict when first logging into that user account after the SL upgrade.
So, I went into Font Book and noticed that most of the fonts in the user category had the yellow triangle indicating duplicate copies of those fonts.
I resolved it by deleting all fonts in the user/library/font file. Those fonts were available in the computer anyway so I hope I'm not missing anything. Even still, a missing font is better than the alternative of not being able to install software and make other admin changes from the account.
I hope this helps.

I have a similar issue with both my user accounts.
Spent about 3 hours with Apple customer support and still have the issue with installing updates and everything requiering authentication.
I noticed no conflict message as you did though...

Keep Getting Font Conflicts Pop-up... Suitcase?

Hello all.
Since this morning, my office G5 keeps popping up these small dialog boxes with the OK button about FONT conflicts:
Suitcase
From Suitcase
There was a conflict when attempting to activate the font Verdana in the suitcase Verdana for this document. Please close the document and resolve the conflict in the Suitcase application.
It applies the same to the other font, Tahoma, same error message.
I have tried to DEACTIVATE these two fonts inside Suitcase, and these pop-up error messages only happen in MS Entourage
It is "no big deal", but the popping up is rather annoying and irritating, 'cause every email read or click these pop-ups will appear, and I have to click OK to close them
Thanks and cheers

these pop-up error messages only happen
in MS Entourage
You can sometimes find more help with Entourage problems in the MS newsgroups devoted to their products:

Grapher font conflict

Whenever I open the application "Grapher", I get the following error:
Font Conflict
Several characters cannot be displayed correctly because of a conflict with the font "Symbol".
I have the symbol font, but I don't know how to resolve this conflict. If the font is corrupted or something, where do I get a non-corrupted replacement?
The program seems to work fine, but I'm tired of getting this warning each time I open it.
Thanks.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for the help, but it didn't help. I went to Font Book and found that there was a problem with a duplicate Symbol Font. I deleted the one called symbol.dfont. Now there's no conflicts with my symbol font (it's got a nice green check!), but I get the same error with Grapher.
I did a Google search and found something about Grapher giving an incorrect error message because of something with the Times font, so I validated that in Font Book also and found that there was a duplicate font there too, so I deleted that too.
I trashed my fontbook.plist file and restarted. Still getting the error message.
Any other ideas?

Font Availability/Possible Font Conflict Problem

I have InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP SP3 machine with the following problem: I have a document I am reprinting for one of my clients and it uses Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold font. It seems that this font comes into conflict, probably due to its name, with Helvetica Neue Bold. If I delete the latter from the Windows\Fonts folder, then in all other Windows programs, the Condensed Bold font shows up. However, *it does not* show up in InDesign CS3. Furthermore, the latter thinks it still has access to the Bold font even after it has been removed from the Windows\Fonts folder. I assume this may be due to InDesign CS3 accessing fonts from elsewhere, but there is nothing in the "Fonts" folder for the main InDesign program folder. I would be very happy is someone can tell me what exactly is causing this font conflict problem, and how I can work around it. But mainly, I need to know where InDesign informs the user about where it looks for fonts (I can't find anything like the specification in Distiller that restricts where it looks for Windows fonts). Any help would be *most* appreciated, as I need to get this out in the next two days and must leave town early Wednesday.

Fonts for Indesign can be stored in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Fonts and they will only be accessible by Indesign. I've had problems with different versions of Helvetica too, but only when they were from slightly different families, or a mixture of types. Now I've got the whole set it works fine, you may have to experiment with your mix of fonts. Bear in mind too that fonts display differently in the Indesign font list than they do in Word for example.

System fonts conflict

Hi there, I own an AD agency with a few of these leopards running... I had 2 major issues:
1. adobe virtual printer pausing and unable to distill a PDF file out of word.
2. a terrible font conflict due to the overlapping presence of the Helvetica Neue in the system folder and in Suitcase Fusion where the "System Font ovverride" option is checked...
Spent the whole day struggling would be great to share with someone.

I share your pain, but haven't found a solution.
I have a design firm. I’ve installed Leopard on my Macbook Pro 17 without incident, as a pretrial before installing it on my working studio machines.
It appears that Leopard now includes Helvetica Neue and Helvetica (not so Neue) in the primary system fonts folder. The addition of Helv Neue to this folder is new with Leopard.
These fonts are now triggering eleven conflict message windows (one for each flavor of font) when Font Agent Pro is used to fire up the Adobe versions of these fonts (upon which I rely heavily in my design business). These warnings have to be closed one by one. Once my Adobe fonts are loaded, there are all kinds of anomalies in the Apple apps that use these fonts, including Safari, Mail many widgets, iCal and so on.
Any attempt to remove these fonts from the system folder results in their automatically being replaced. It’s as though the computer is telling me that “resistance is futile”.
We have hundreds of documents where Helvetica Neue or Helvetica are part of the design. Leopard will be a non starter in the design shop if we can’t beat this. I thought Apple knew they had a strong presence in the design industry. This is bone-headed planning on their part!

Adobe Master Collection CS6 fonts

Where can I find a list of ALL the Adobe Master Collection CS6 fonts? Thanks

We are having the same issue. Currently searching for a solution. In our instance, it is not only word, but Excel and Powerpoint as well. Launching any of the applications and then logging out and logging in corrects the problem, however this is not a solution because we are setting up these computers in a lab environment.

InDesign CS6 Font doesn't work in table cells

Hi all!
I'm working in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6 Leopard. I have character and paragraph styles defined using a certain font, and they work just fine except when using them in table cells. I have the character style nested in the paragraph style, which is then used in the cell style. But it doesn't work. It inherits everything correctly except for the font. If I select the text, the font menu tells me it is the correct font, but it displays in a different font. I've tried exporting to IDML and resaving, but that didn't work. I'm stumped

Hi Jeffrey-
Indeed it should, and I see why using a formatted table would cause conflicts, but I am importing it as an unformatted table already. Built all styles in InDesign first, then imported as unformatted table. A few times it did work as expected, but most of the time it steadfastly refused to apply the correct font.
But in any case, that wasn't my only issue with the tables. My understanding of importing Excel spreadsheets is that applied table and cell styles will be maintained when the linked file is updated, but local formatting/overrides will be wiped out, which is why I was trying to get the styles working in the first place. However, after testing, I found that even when I didn't use local formatting/overrides, updating the linked file still broke my InDesign layout.
In my test, the only thing I did to the imported (unformatted) table was to apply the table/cell styles and adjust column width (which is unavoidable as far as I know - didn't see anywhere I could set column width as part of a style). But even then an update to the linked file removed all the styles and column widths I had set (and was also highly annoying as it gave me a separate error message about the formatting loss for each and every instance of the spreadsheet).
Could be a fluke, or could be I'm missing something, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't get it to work
