Re: Using fonts

I have the "missing font" error while placing indesign tagged text file into a text frame. I have composed a material in a text frame applying the font "Myriad C" (Adobe type manager font). After that I exported it to an indesign tagged text file. Then, when I try to place the same text file in another document, the "missing font" message shows. While placing the tagged text file, Indesign could not find the font. What could be the reason?

Please start a new thread when you have a new question as opposed to responding to an existing question or issue!
In terms of your question, what do you mean by an Adobe type manager font? The Adobe Type Manager is a long-discontinued product from the days of MacOS 9 (and earlier) and Windowx'9x.
Unless you have a font named Myriad C installed on your system, of course you are going to get a missing font indication! The Myriad fonts currently (and since 2000) licensed by Adobe (including fonts bundled with Adobe applications) are OpenType CFF fonts with the base font name Myriad Pro with various style names. Perhaps Myriad C is an old 20th century Macintosh Type 1 version of Myriad, possibly the condensed style? If that's the case and you don't have that old font installed on your system and none of the existing Myriad Pro typefaces installed on your system meet your needs, you may need to go to Adobe's website and license the appropriate typeface. See <http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=1706>, <http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=1707>, and <http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=1708> for available Myriad Pro typefaces.

Font in GTK2 apps are not using font smoothing in cinnamon. GTK3 does.

Hi,
My GTK2 apps like GIMP, chromium fonts are not really using font smoothing but GTK3 apps look fine.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, unfortunately this did not fix the problem. I did put the environmental variable in .profile and relogged, the result was unfortunately the same. I've managed to fix fonts in Clementine using qtconfig-qt4 after some fiddling, but applications like Docky and Chromium still have the monospace font.

Getting list of used fonts in TextFlow

Hi!
I'm wondering how i can get a list of fonts used in a TextFlow - especially usefull, when working with embedded fonts loaded
at runtime.
The idea is to be able when loading new content into textflow, to preload the used fonts before the text is shown.
Any suggestions? - looking at the API, i have not been able to come up with any solution.
Kindly regards
// Netphreak

There's no single place you get can a list of fonts, but it wouldn't be too hard to generate one. Iterate through all the leaf nodes, and get the font from the computedFormat. I'm thinking something like this would work:
function getFontList(textFlow:TextFlow)
     var leaf:FlowLeafElement = textFlow.getFirstLeaf();
     while (leaf)
          var fontFamily:String = leaf.computedFormat.fontFamily;
          // add fontFamily to list if its not already there
          leaf = leaf.getNextLeaf();
If you want to, you could check for InlineGraphicElement and ignore their fontFamily settings.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Barcode using fonts

Hi friends,
I am using oracle Report 6i and Oracle DB 10g.
Windows for (my pc) development and linux for the OAS
I need to show some numbers in barcode 'format' in web. I have a table with a column named Code (number type),
I need to show this number like a barcode in my report.
Between the options for my task I chose the apparently easy way, so I installed a True Type Font (IDAutomationHC39M.ttf) on my PC (Windows) and test my report, and it was ok, because it show the number like barcodes.
I also add the font to my OAS server (linux).
So, I send my report to OAS (with CoreFTP) and then test the report in web, and for my surprise my report just show numbers.
I've tried to solved my problem:
1. I add * to the numbers
2. add this code to the file uifont.ali
[ PDF:Subset ]
IDAutomationHC39M = "IDAutomationHC39M.ttf"And try changes some configurations files ... but nothing works
I need to know what is the correct procedure to add font to OAS, or maybe there is a problem with my procedure?.
Remember that what I really need is to show numbers like barcode (in my report) in web using fonts .
Thanks for helping!

Well, like I said, I've tried differents changes but nothing seems to work.
I also check this link before: http://www.idautomation.com/kb/unix-finst.html
I need to know where is the real problem, so I need the complete steps to achieve the task.

Using fonts when launching from JNLP

Hello,
I followed the directions in this link http://fxexperience.com/2010/05/how-to-embed-fonts/ and was able to add and use fonts in my javafx program when launched from Netbeans. But when I try to launch from JNLP, the fonts do not show up (the text shows up as Arial).
Is there something special I need to do to access the fonts in the jar and utilize them?
As the link directed I created a fonts folder in my src folder where I store all the .ttf file, and created a fonts.mf file in META-INF where I map a name to the font file. Works fine when launching from netbeans.
thanks in advance for your help

I've found the problem! It's the timestamp for the JNLP file. But unfortunately I can't figure out the workaround as yet.
To explain the problem it would be best to start with my application's installation procedure:
The applcation is installed by way of CD (using javaws -import) as downloading an 8mb jar file over dialup is unwieldy. Subsequent updates are retrieved from the server. Jardiffs are sent back to the webstart client so updates over dialup becomes manageble.
The application jar file in the CD is version 1.0. Let's say the server is now at version 1.3 with the timestamp 2005-10-01 00:00:00.
The user installs the application using the CD today which gives his JNLP file the timestamp of 2005-10-03 00:00:00.
When the application is started, it calls the server to check for updates. Although the JNLP file returned from the server specifically states that the current version is at version 1.3 Java Web Start insists on using the timestamp to perform the comparison first.
Since the timestamp of the JNLP file in the user's pc is dated later than the JNLP file in the server, Java Web Start ignores the version checking and assumes that the application in the server is the latest and greatest.
Has anyone encountered a similiar situation? The only solution I can think of is to hack the JNLPDownloadServlet to return a date that's way in the future so that Java Web Start picks up the changes... sigh.
Is it possible to disable the timestamp checking for the JNLP files? As again, help is mucho appreciated and there are 10 duke dollars at stake too :)

How to clean recent used fonts dropbox on Pages '09?

Hi everyone!
I've searched a lot but can't resolve this. I can't clear my recent used fonts on Pages '09. I'm not talking about the box opened with cmd+T, I'm talking about the dropbox next to the font size, bold, italic, etc.
I've tried to delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist but it only clears the cmd+T box.
Could you guys help me?
Thanks a lot!

This list is stored in Pages preferences file.
You may remove the entire array entitled : SFIFontCacheRecents
or remove some fonts items.

Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents. The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
Thanks,
Harry Spier

Hi Harry,
I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

"Recently Used" fonts causes crash...

Hello all,
I don't use iWeb all that much, but I went in today to do a quick page and found an issue.
Using iWeb 2.0.3 and OS 10.5.4.
If I build a page or select a previous page, and hit Command-T to manipulate fonts, choosing the "Recently Used" under "Collections" causes iWeb to crash every time.
First the beach ball, then boom.
System very clean, and almost zero addition al fonts, sans Office 2008.
Can anyone confirm this behavior on their Mac(s)?
I can reproduce always and even under different accounts.
Deleted iWeb pref's and deleted font caches with LinoType FontExplorer X and rebooted.
Same.
Thanks,
Scott

I have had exactly the same question. This is not an answer, but maybe part of the answer. In User - Library - FontCollections, there is a file called "com.apple.Recents.collection". If you take that out, Keynote no longer shows recently used fonts. However, it does not seem to generate a new com.apple.Recents.collection file, so that is not the solution. I found that the file can be opened with the program "Property List Editor" (part of the Development package), but it looks like a mess. I would really also like to know how to clear the recently used font collection and start over. Mine now has about 1000 entries, which make it worthless!

Recently used fonts

Is there an option PS CS6 or CC to have recently used fonts or fonts in doc on top of font list? I find it maddening to have to open old documents and select fonts to see what I've used.

Most recently used fonts ID CS3

How do I get the recently used fonts option to show up at

You're asking about a feature that has never been in InDesign, though it would be a good idea. I'd make a post in the Feature Requests section. It's possible that there may be a third-party plugin that does it, but I've never heard of it.

I have a picture on Adobe Reader X1. I tried to put the names of those in the pic below it. With 5 rows the only way I could do it is using font 6 because the room they gave me was limited. I then tried to email it and it went to my Windows Live Mail which didn't send. I'd like to email it using my Outlook. Any ideas?

You need to configure your email Preferences in Adobe Reader.
Otherwise send that PDF manually as an attachment to an Outlook message.

Font Panel - Recently Used Fonts

Hi, since another post with this same title is archived, I'm going to give this a bump. The issue is that the Recently Used fonts list on my machine is HUGE and completely useless since many of the items in the list appear to be blank. Is there a way to clear this list so it can start fresh? I've tried clearing the system font cache and it doesn't affect this list.
Thanks, Matt

How to revise the recently used fonts?

Hi, I been wondering if I can edit the used fonts list in iwork 09.
Thanks!

The list of recently used fonts is stored in the preferences file : com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
You may easily edit it with a plist editor.
I use Apple's PropertyList Editor which is part of the developer tools.
If you didn't install them, you may extract it from the installation package with a tool like Pacifist but it may be easier to go to my iDisk (address below) and download
Pref Setter.app.zip
Expand it and you will get a good editor allowing to do the trick.
It's the tool which I use under Lion.

Sync Fonts (using Font Book) with other computers

Just purchased a new Intel iMac. Is there any method used to sync all my fonts from 3 other macs used at my studio. I would like to use Font Book and make it as easy as possible.
I use Photoshop CS2 and InDesign CS and I am sure they came with fonts loaded in both of those programs (at least I ASSUME they do...).
I want to sync the fonts so that if I bring up a photoshop file (or indesign file) that was created on one computer to another I don't get the message that I am 'missing fonts'.
Anyone know how to do this???

It's not clear what you're asking about. There no fonts button to push. However, there is a preference setting for automatic font activation. AFAIK, font book is a font management and validation tool. If the fonts are located in /Library/Fonts/, then they should be available for all users.
Aside from Font Book help, these might point you in the right direction:
