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

  • Embedding fonts - doesn't work

    Another day, another Flash Catalyst problem.
    I check the box to embed fonts when I publish, only when I preview my output they are nowhere to be seen. Bottom line, Flash Catalyst doesn't work on a Mac. I've had nothing but problems. This program isn't ready for prime time at all. I've used betas of programs that are much more polished than this. I believed that there wasn't suppossed to be major issues when using FC with 10.7 Lion.
    That's not true, this program is so broken and flawed and such a frustration to use. Adobe can't be bothered to update even though they've had access to Lion for months. If they can't make a program that works then why bother releasing for the Mac platform at all?
    Lets see:
    1. Placeholders don't work.
    2. Importing Illustrator files doesn't work.
    3. Publishing with embedded fonts doesn't work.
    These aren't minor issues. They are MAJOR PROBLEMS!!! How did Flash Catalyst see the light of day on the Mac? Why was it released? Are these problems isolated to 10.7? Why aren't these MAJOR DEALBREAKERS listed? Can anyone at Adobe stand up and admit that this Flash Catalyst on the Mac is a total fiasco?

    I am sorry you are having trouble. I'm not running Lion on my Mac (issues with LDAP and a corporate network). With something like you are describing I would try two things before contact Adobe support. The first would be to try a fresh install. Maybe the OS upgrade wonked something. The other thing I would make sure is that my JAVA runtime is up to date. Flash Catalyst is built on Eclipse, which in turn in built on JAVA.
    Beyond, that these issue are more that I can help with.

  • Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

  • InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

    hello
    First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
    We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
    THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
    Any solution?

    Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
    This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
    Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

  • Font doesn't work in Premiere Titler but DOES in After Effects?

    Having trouble figuring out what the issue is on this one. I'm using the GENUINE font, and when trying to create a title inside of Premiere, it doesn't work. It shows up as blocks/rectangles. If I use the font in any other program, such as After Effects (or Illustrator, Word, etc) it works fine. See screenshots below:
    In Premiere:
    Using After Effects:

    Titler is probably the most font-sensitive application (or mini-app), that Adobe has. I have encountered fonts that work fine in PS, AI, InDesign, AE and even older PageMaker, that flat killed Titler. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and offers a scheme to fix things, in some cases.
    Good luck,

  • Font problem (font doesn't work in preview?)

    I've been working on a book with the arial narrow fonts (regular, italic, bold , bold italic). I've tried using the open type and the true type version of the font but always end up with one of the fonts not working when I preview the book on my ipad. When I use the true type version, arial narrow regular works but the other variations don't (I also get a message that the true type version is not supported on IOS when it should... So it's weird...). And when i use the open type version narrow regular is the one that doesn't work...Does anyone know what the problem is?
    thanks!

    An iBA 'preview' is just a dumbed down PDF.
    For a reliable test that will duplicate what your users will see/experience, use iBA's Share/Export menu to output an .ibooks file, then drag that to iTunes and sync w/your iPad.

  • Adobe Indesign CS6 Fonts issue

    Dear Support,
    We have performed a re-installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    We also had to re-install Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 as well as Adobe Indesign CS6 and Photoshop CS6.
    We have installed all Windows Updates and all Adobe updates.
    The problem we are experiencing is that Arial Narrow is detected by Indesign as a seperate font and not a family font.
    This in turn is causing issues as we cannot select Arial Narrow Bold, Arial Narrow Bold Italic and Arial Narrow Italic.
    The version of the font is 2.37.
    I have read on previous posts that there are issues with font version 2.35 which is installed with Microsoft Office 2007 and there is a hotfix on Microsoft's website.
    We cannot use this as stated above we use Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010.
    Please inform if there is a hotfix to run from Adobe's Website or from Microsoft to resolve the above issue.
    All assistance is much appreciated.
    Kindest Regards.

    Moving to Indesign forum.
    Regards,
    Romit Sinha

  • CS6 serial doesn't work to install Acrobat X Pro.

    I've created a deployment of Acrobat X Pro with the Adobe Customization Wizard X.  This is because AAMEE doesn't support Acrobat.  Adobe support tells me I need to use my CS6 serial but no matter what I try my CS6 key won't work.  A dedicated, standalone key for Acrobat X Pro works, but not my CS6 key.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Adobe phone support was no help.  Thanks!

    Hi
    A CS6 serial number will NOT work with the Acrobat Customization Wizard. You were misinformed by Adobe support (If you can PM me a case number, I can ensure that this training need gets addressed with the agent/team in question). Only Acrobat serial numbers will be accepted by the Customization Wizard.
    The usual way to use a CS6 serial number in conjunction with an Acrobat deployment is to package your CS6 suite using AAMEE 3.0, deploy Acrobat (as so-called Execeptions payload) using the commands documented in the AAMEE deployment guide, followed by a deployment of the Suite package.
    This process is documented in the Enterprise Deployment Guide (linked here from the forums, and available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html).
    Kind regards
    Henk

  • CS6 license doesn't work

    After more than a year of working properly, my CS6 Master collection mac UK installation now asks for a serial code. The activation code I have (the original one) doesn't work. Pretty sure I didn't but a temporary license. I guess someone needs to check the code, but doesn't seem wise to provide it here..

    thanks, but no. all I get is "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support."
    doesn't matter if I open Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, etc..

  • SDO_NN doesn't work though tables are spatially indexed

    Hi,
    As said Andrew Thomas, the Search function doesn't work today, so I don't know if the answer is already somewhere in the forum.
    I' trying to perform a SDO_NN (nearest neighbor) search on a set of tables which are almost identical in structure. I first created a view in order to do 'ordinary' selects on the 'ordinary' columns.
    Now I need to code request on spatial columns, with joins based on results from SDO_NN and values from ancillary function SDO_NN_DISTANCE.
    As SDO_NN requires its first parameter to be a spatially indexed column and it is not possible to index a view, I create a temporary table on the fly, index it, insert a line into USER_SDO_INDEX_METADATA about this index and then launch my request.
    I always get the following error:
    ERROR at line 1 :
    ORA-13249: SDO_NN cannot be evaluated without using index
    ORA-06512: in "MDSYS.MD", ligne 1723

    Does anyone have a clue?

    Hi,
    As a general rule, whenever using an operator where the query window comes from a table rather than a constructor, try using the ordered hint and put the table that contains the query window (the second geometry in the operator) first in the from clause. You are right in that the table associated with the first geometry must be indexed. This query might be changed to:
    SELECT /*+ ordered */
    v.nom ENS_NOM, v.adresse_numero, v.adresse_rue,
    c.code_insee , c.nom COM_NOM , b.code_centre,
    MDSYS.SDO_NN_DISTANCE(1) DIST
    FROM TEMPGEOMDATA v, limadm_commune c, batsp_cis b
    WHERE v.code_insee = c.code_insee
    AND SDO_NN(b.geometrie, v.geometrie, 'sdo_num_res=1', 1) = 'TRUE' ;
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

  • InDesign CS6 export to EPUB works different from CS5.5 ?

    With CS5.5 I have a Paragraph-Style set to place a space of 10 mm before. When I export to EPUB it works fine.
    With CS6 the same style doesn't work: any space is left before the paragraph.
    With CS5.5 every "Return" (End of paragraph) with blank paragraph (paragraph without characters - only return) is eliminated during exportation to EPUB.
    With CS6 also blank paragraph are exported as they are to EPUB.
    So, with CS5.5 I had to define particular style in order to obtain spacing between paragraph: How have I to do with CS6 ?
    Have I to use only return to create spacing ?
    All works done with CS5.5 are so incompatible to CS6 ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Selene

    I'm a firm believer in writing your own CSS but, there was, IIRC, a bug in CS6 that affected paragraph spacing in EPUB. Are you patched to 8.0.1?
