Russian Font Problem

I have installed Russian fonts on my IBM PC, but the characters are displayed as jibberish. The Russian language option does not appear in the Paragraph Designer > Language drop down menu. How do I resolve this issue? I am using FrameMaker 9. Thanks for any advice.

FM displays the languages available using the appropriate language specific glyphs. For Russian use "русский" :
Can you be specific by what you mean about the characters being jibberish? Which font are you using? What keyboard input method is being used? Can you read Russian in order to determine if the entries are correct?

Russian font problem in Safari/mac

Hi all.
I have a problem concerning character encoding when I use Safari under Mac.
I am a developer. All the texts in my site are shown normally, only one text group, that comes from another SQL table, isn't encoded normally (Russian letters aren't shown).
Maybe the problem is in my SQL tables? But both of the tables (the one, the text of which isn't shown, and the one, that is shown normally) have character set UTF8.
I don't know where to look for the problem...
I would appreciate any help!
Lili

I am actually sure that the porblem text is in UTF 8, because this is the encoding used for the SQL table, and the text is taken from this table =>concequently it has UTF-8 encoding, right?
Not necessarily. Declaring something to be a certain encoding doesn't make it so. It is not uncommon to find data entered somewhere in the wrong encoding. On a web page, you can use View > Text Encoding to switch the encoding which a browser uses to read a text and thus perhaps find out if it is something other than what it is declared. If it is practical in your case you might try the alternative cyrillic encodings available in Safari on your problem text.

Font problem while printing russian characters

Hello,
I have a weird problem. When I print an exported crystal report document which has been exported by Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 as PDF document, the printout misses a lot of russian characters. This area with the missing characters just stays blank, not even question marks or something similar is shown. It seems that the half of all characters of the document is not shown.
(But the document does not contain any missing characters when you just open it in Adobe Acrobat. You only see this behaviour when you print it. That's why we didn't recognize this error for a long time because we didn't print it but just opened it with Acrobat Reader)
I have an original document with russian characters which is saved as docx. When I export this document with MS Word to PDF and print this document, no characters are missing. So it's no printer problem.
There is a difference in both documents:
This document, where all characters work, has the following properties set in the font information tab:
Arial
   type: TrueType
   encoding: Ansi
   original font: ArialMT
   original font type:: TrueType
The document which has been created with Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 just contains the following data:
Arial
   type: TrueType
   encoding: included
(I hope the right translation for this option set is "included" because my version of Adobe Acrobat is a non english version).
What exactly happened to this document. How can I solve this that russian fonts will be print correctly?
Regards,
Markus

By the way. I create the files in this way:
   private void createFile(String outFileName) {
      try {
         ByteArrayInputStream result = clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
         File newFile = new File(outFileName);
         FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
         int bytesRead = 0;
         byte[] byteArray = new byte[10000];
         while ((bytesRead = result.read(byteArray)) != -1) {
            output.write(byteArray, 0, bytesRead);
         output.flush();
         output.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

Printing output incorrect with non Russian fonts

I have tried all the ways with approximate all the device types.
We are getting the correct print preview of spool requests in SAP with Russian Fonts, It means that SAP is doing it work, but the printing output is wrong.
The device types (eg. HPUTF8, HPLJ5, ZPC2424S) are printing correctly with other Printers like RU03, RU02, RU05 but not with RU07.
We have tried many windows drivers as well which were suggested by SAP.
I have tried the below device types as well which are cyrillic compatible. For these device types print preview is coming fine but not printout.
Cyrillic |   I5SPOST     | Dfnlatin (note 83502)
SAPWIN5     | Cyrillic, e.g. RU |    Yes
Below fonts are suitable for a given languages including Russian:.
* ISO 8859-5 (Cyrillic) ************ *******
BG, RU, SR, UK          COURCYR, HELVCYR, TIMECYR
While printing on
RU07 the font should be only above ones not the FC OCRA.   FCTIMECYR 080 00060XSF201SF201410 200040R
FCOCRA 120 00144 SF301SF301400100144 R
Kindly suggest if any particular setting like device type, symbol set, printer driver suitable for this printer to print output correctly.
Regards
Munish

This is normal printer HP laserjet p2055 dn printer.
RU03, RU06, RU07 are sap printer names in ECC system.
SAPSPrint server has names like mospr03, mospr06, mospr07.
SAP is using access method S and pointing to host printer drivers like mospr07 in sapsprint windows server.
It seems that either the printer driver on windows is incorrect in terms of printing from sap or there may be font problem in physical printer.

How to use Russian fonts?

Hello everybody!
Is there any change to use russian fonts in Labview 7. I am using Windows XP+SP1. I know that it's possible, somehow, but not managed to solve problem yet.
Neuvos

I have successfully used Russian Fonts in LV 7. There are two ways to go about this. The first way is to use an ini or config file to do the conversion for you. This way you can type russian into the file and read in the proper strings. The second way is to take the integer value of the character and type cast it to a string. You must have the russian font installed first before this will work. My example used the alphabet and converted it to Russian. I used the ER Univers 1251 font and used a for loop that will run 32 times and added the iteration terminal with the value of 192 for lower case and type cased each value into a string from an integer. For upper case letters add the iteration terminal with 224. This will display the Russian Alphabet. Hope this h
elps.

Russian font displays as ????

Hi,
I am using Microsoft Exchange web mail. When i start using mac, all russian names and subjects in the browser is shown as ???.
I don't have this problem when i am using windows with IE.
What should i do to see correct russian font in by web-mail in Safari.

HI,
Web based mail... that's the problem. Apple has no control over the fonts they use, especially for a Microsoft based e-mail client.
Keep in mind altering or modifying your fonts in the FontBook application stored in your Applications folder can result in Safari crashing.
You could try this. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Select the box next to: Enable Show Develop menu in menu bar.
Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Develop / User Agent. Try Internet Explorer version 8, 7, or 6.
Note.. when you relaunch Safari it will default back to Safari 5.
No guarantee that will work but worth a try.

Very weird font problem

I have a very weird and annoying font problem with the left menu bar of iTunes 8.2(23)
Some but not all menu items are displayed like a mix of Hebrew and unprintable caracters.
But once the menu item is selected, the font is back to normal !
The weired thing is that TV Series and Shopping cart menu items are displayed (in French, because the interface is in French) as expected.
I don't know if it is related, but I have Russian-PC keyboard installed too, Adobe CS4 (which installed Adobe fonts) and my OS interface is in French.

How did you go about finding this Lucida Grande.ttf? I did a search and didn't find it. I have the same weird font thing in itunes. I recently installed a whack of fonts from another computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Russian Fonts not supported in Primavera

This is a user-defined variable called "Product"
?íôîðìàöèîííàÿ ñèñòåìà Xper Information Management
It displays correctly in Arial CYR when I open the FM files, and I am using it in a paragraph format called "Footer," in which the font is set to Arial CYR, 8 pt. It displayed correctly when I initially opened the file, but I had adjusted some of the paragraph formats in one of the other FM files in the book, and when I imported them into the second file, the characters no longer displayed correctly, although they still appear as Cyrillic characters in the original FM file from which I imported the formats.
This also occurs with Chinese, Korean, and Central European fonts. I've also noticed the problem with some of my cross-references and some of my other paragraph formats. It's very odd, because one format will display correctly, while immediately below, another format will be scrambled.

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

It should be rolled into the Combo-Update:

HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard. It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote. Any suggestions of how to fix it?

Dear Kurt,
in bigger companies thinks come slow :-) Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
But I wasn't able to get it to work.
Do you have the one big hint for me???
Thanks and best regards... Udo

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

Font problem in exchange account

I use my Exchange account but some messages are displayed in completely unreadable font whereas they are sent by same person and all composed in the same font in browser. By the way messages are supposed to be in Russian but there s no other troubles with Russian language compatibility. What can be the solution?

Send the messages in a font which is the same in the Apple OS to the Windows OS. there are many Windows and Apple proprietary fonts, so using a Russion Windows only font will not help on the iPad.
I don't think you can add other Russian fonts to the iPad so you will need to simply find one which you both can use and stick to that.
