Using Adobe Thai Font in InDesign

Hi
I am having trouble with using Adobe Thai Font on text copied from PDF into InDesign(CS3). When typing with Adobe Thai Font in InDesign it shows as a 'normal' font like Arial. When copying from PDF to InDesign the text appears as glyphs almost like Windings.
How do I get the Adobe Thai font to use properly?
Hop you can help me.
Kind Regards
Anne

It's not clear what you're trying to do. As Peter said, typing Roman
characters will get you Roman characters. The Thai font won't translate.
If you set up Thai input, then you can type Thai, or you can just use
the Glyphs palette.
But you mentioned something about copying from a PDF. What you get from
a PDF depends on how the font used in the PDF was encoded. Does the PDF
use Adobe Thai? You might get better results saving out RTF from the PDF.

Using Sinhala Unicode Fonts with Indesign

Hello,
We are having trouble using Sinhala Unicode Font with Indesign. We require this to covert content to the EPUB format.
Siyabas - how to install Sinhala Unicode
Do you know if there is a Plug-in for the Sinhala Unicode Font? Or is there someone in the community working on it?
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your post. We want to convert to reflow able text, which can include illustrations (For Example - Children's Books).
We tried FM Abbhaya Font as it is easy to read and using a traditional Sinhala keyboard input method.
For Some reason we cannot get this input to be recognized by Adobe Indesign, to convert to an Epub format.
We tried the open font on Windows, but it means selecting each character from a table. As a small publisher it is not practical.
In fact the ideal path for us will be to convert our printed books to Epubs using OCR.
Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your time.

How do I use a Hebrew font in indesign?

How do I use a Hebrew font in Indesign?

You will need either the Middle Eastern version of InDesign, or a plugin like World Tools for the English version of ID. If you are a Creative Cloud member, you can just download the ME version by setting your langauge correctly in (I think) the Creative Cloud app. If you own a perpetual license for some earlier version of CS, then it's not so easy, and World Tools is (in my limited opinion) probably your best bet.

Strange text display in pdf using adobe reader exported by Indesign CS5

Hi there,
I have export an interactive pdf from indesign CS5 PC version with version 7 update, and it looks fine in most of the PC and Mac Adobe reader.
But 2 of the computer had strange text display. One is the iMAC with latest version of Adobe Reader
<== you can see the text "78" and "454" are abnormal
But with the same computer using Safari with perview plugin is showing following result:
<==you can see the text are normal.
The pdf is embedded with following fonts and property:
Another Windows XP with Adobe Acrobat 9 will had same display as the iMac.
I ensure the Windows XP don't have the font installed with HelveticaNeue and the Mac is using OS Lion Bundle with that font.
Now the customer blame it is the problem of the pdf created by me and I had no idea how to explain to my customer and find out solution.
I had a trial version of CC but same result and no error during the export.
Any idea is highly appreciate. The customer hotline and the live chat is hopeless as they send me to this community to ask since I use CS5 not the latest version.
Regards,
Ichi

Thanks Willi,
I had the fonts of Helvetica Neue bold light etc which created by Adobe and the font was created in 1993,shown in font property.
my PDF output is set to interactive not the print one. Other settings are default.
the purpose of this PDF is for user to print out and read on website. The funny thing is print out had no problem at all with HP and Ricoh printer using PCL 6 driver.
Despite Safari, the strange font happened in only Adobe product, other PDF reader had no problem such as foxit reader, xchange reader.
I tried to not embed the font but not able to do indesign, search in Google, it said it always embedded. Also that font family is preloaded in Mac OS.
I can try any test if there is a way to find out the solution.
or what should I do so the PDF should display correctly in all computer
thanks a lot.

Can I use adobe illustrator fonts for commercial purposes?

Hi,
I have purchased adobe illustrator CS4. Does this mean I can use any of the fonts installed in the program for commercial purposes?
I am currently doing a t-shirt design and want to use the font Verdana in the design. I plan to reprint and sell this t-shirt indefinitely.
Is this legal?
Kay.

you can use the fonts you can even send the fonts to the printer you can certainly use them on the web, when you send the font it is usually only for the convenience of not having the Print House load the fonts, but since most font hoses have illustrator it is not a problem they have the fonts as well.
They only keep the fonts with your job if you send it. For instance if you send them a project with a font that is part of their font library hen they will ask you to send them even if another client has or is using that font. if they get 10 or so instance were the same font shows up and they think it is a trend they buy the font as a convenience for their customers.You can not distribute the fonts to other user not even free fonts.
But sending it part of the job is fine, printers have no interest starting up with the large foundry houses and they understand the copyright laws and would put themselves in a bad light if they broke this ethic so it is not going to happen for $30.00 for a font.
You are fine you bought Illustrator and so you have a license for them.
One difference between the fonts you get from Illustrator and and the ones you purchase is that the ones you purchase are allowed to be installed on five machines usually and the fonts that are included with Illustrator can only be installed with the copy of Illustrator, technically that means two machines.
But the way it works since you can install the same Illustrator on as many machines as you want but can only activate it on two an use on one of those two at any one time it is possible that you would be in violation of your license since the fonts do not need Adobe activation to be available for other applications.
So it you're doing that then you're a felon buddy!

Bengali Unicode fonts in InDesign CS6

Dear InDesign Gurus,
How do I type using "Bengali" (Unicode) fonts in InDesign CS6? I've tried to copy/paste the text from an existing word document on to an InDesign document, but it shows up with square blocks! I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64Bit OS.
Is this even possible? Would someone please provide me some detail steps?
Many thanks in advance.
Simon

Cyndee,
As I said, I'm fairly new in ID, would you kindly tell me the steps so that I know what to do?
Ellis,
I am working with a ID Magazine template. Obviously the template has blocks and pre-written text inside those blocks. If I try to delete the text (without deleting the BOX + contents within) and paste the Bengali text from some other document, some of the characters do not stay in place. Whereas, if I just create a text box and paste the text inside the new box, texts show properly.
So my question to you Gurus is... how can keep the template I'm using and just replace the text within text box and save time. Would someone plz guide me?
Thanks for your professional help!

Problems in IE -internet explorer- with Adobe web fonts embedded in EDGE compositions

Hi again friends,
For simplifying the problem: Im trying to create compositions, just some animated texts over video, using adobe web fonts in Edge. In this case using muse to insert them.
Everything works fine, but after uploading the result compositions, they always work fine in Chrome or Mozilla, but they dont work always fine in Explorer (tested in diferent versions and OSs).
Frustratingly, sometimes IE display the fonts correctly, some other times changes the font to arial or similar...
Frustrating example: Two instances of the same composition (only text moving over mp4 video) and sometimes one work fine and the other is changed to arial, some other times both ok, some other both arial.... its crazy.. just refresh, and it changes!!
If I create a page with only one composition (text over video) it works fine 90-95% of the times in IE. just refreshing... and after some good attempts.. the arial font apperar smiling to me!!!!!
Any suggestion?
What can I do?
Checked with diferent systems using latest versions of Edge and Muse in my job, only in Windows systems.
Sorry for my english, I hope is well explained...

Hi,
I have prepared for you a basic composition where the problem ALWAYS appear:
The page uses 2 compositions created in edge, inserted in a Muse project via .oam file (note that publishing directly to web structure, the problems occurs too)
1.- The upper element of the page is one composition with only ANIMATED TEXTS over a simple MP4 VIDEO BACKGROUND. The used font is -Fredoka One-
This first composition is inserted in the Muse Master page
In the Muse index main page are the other 2 elements:
2.- Above the first composition there is another Edge composition, that contains 4 video backgrounds with a title over each one. The font of each main title is -Fredoka One- too.
3.-In the bottom there is inserted THE SAME composition than in the upper side of the page.
Yuo can see it in http://www.comunicracia.es/
As you can see, everything is OK using Chrome or Mozilla, BUT PLEASE TAKE A LOOK USING INTERNET EXPLORER.
Using IE I can see every combination of problems with the font, BUT never the 3 elements Fine!!! (The tittles font is replaced by Arial frustratingly without any rule)
(My experience FYI) In this composition I have prepared for you, the bottom composition is usually (90%times) OK, the upper composition is usually (95%times) BAD, and the middle composition usually (70%times) BAD.
If I publish only the first composition in the page, it works fine in IE 95% of the times.
Pleeease, its frustrating..
Any suggestion?
What can I do??
Thank you very very much in advance, my friends!
All the best

All Adobe PS fonts mysteriously removed from Word 2000 font library

HELP !
Operating System:     Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
Word Processor:        Office 2000 (including Word 2000) with Service Pack 3
Adobe Type Manager Deluxe:     Version 4 .1 installed May 24, 2000, Serial Number XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXX.
Adobe Postscript Fonts:     The entire library.
On September 12, 2010, I opened up a Word document created in 1992 on my computer using Adobe postscript font AvantGarde.
I immediately saved the document in the latest version of Word (i.e., Word 2000).
I then highlighted the bolded caption to change the font size from 12 points to 13 points.     "13" is not on the font size drop down menu, so it has to be typed in manually. I did that.
The second I pressed the "Enter" key, the following events occurred:
               The entire Adobe postscript font library disappeared from the Word 2000 drop down list of available fonts;
               The installation date of the Adobe PS fonts all changed to the date I hit the "Enter" key (i.e., 9/12/2010);
                The file size of each font changed to "OK";
                The attributes of each Adobe PS font changed to "AC";
                The file name of each Adobe PS font was broken by the insertion of an ____ in the file name; I don't know if it replaced any existing characters in the file name;
                 All the Adobe postscript fonts remain in the Master Font List of Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.1, as well as the Adobe folder containing all the Adobe PS fonts;
                 Every Word document ever created on our computer formatted in Adobe PS AvantGarde - about 95% of all our documents - defaulted to either Courier or Avant Guard (pronounce the same, but spelled differently); "Avant Guard" is a true type font.
Adobe Tech support personnel were unable to assist me and suggested I present this problem to the Forum.
I have the name of the engineers who developed Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.1, as well as its technical specifications from Help.
Adobe postscript font "Avantgarde" is practically our firm's logo. Readers recognize our work just by the font. It's one of the most beautiful and readable fonts in the entire Adobe library.
                 I have no reason to believe the document itself that I opened was corrupted.
                 I have a complete back-up of our entire Adobe postscript library on a 100 MB ZipDisk, but I don't know if simply reinstalling the font files will correct the problem.     I don't want to make things worse by blind experiment.
                 All other font types remain in our Word font library list and are fully accessible; but none are as readable or as beautiful as postscript fonts.
                 Unfortunately, I am not a computer "techie", but I can follow instructions if I understand them.
                 Sincerely appreciative of knowledgeable assistance, I remain
                 Very truly yours,

(1)     Never post a serial number of a product you've licensed on a public forum. We have taken the responsible liberty of replacing that serial number in your post with a series of Xs.
(2)     This forum is associated with the PostScript programming language. Your problem has nothing to do with that whatsoever, but rather, with an event that somewhat mucked up fonts on your host computer system. If anyone in Adobe Technical Support told you to post on the PostScript forum, they were dead wrong. We are sorry for that bum information provided by our Technical Support organization.
(3)     Adobe Type Manager Deluxe has not been supported by Adobe in any way for well over five years.
(4)     There should be nothing that Microsoft Word or the user of same could do within Microsoft Word to cause the symptoms you describe. Neither Word nor Office do anything to uninstall fonts or modify the fonts.
(5)     Without explicitly invoking ATM, ATM has no functionality or for that matter any known bugs that would cause the symptoms you describe.
(6)     Windows' Font Control Panel likewise has no functionality or any known bugs that would cause the symptoms you describe.
Any attempt to further analyze what happened on your computer would be totally a wide-assed guess. However, I could imagine hardware problems with your disk drive causing the type of symptoms you describe. If in fact you are using a computer system that was installed in May 2000 and especially if you are using the original disk drive, I suspect your luck in terms of system longevity may just have given out. (Ten years for a computer system and especially a disk drive is pretty long). Zip Disk? You'd better back that up to something more modern. Neither the drives nor media are readily available for that format anymore.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

Indesign CC crashing while opening a document - using a exteral font program

After a few days of terror and trying to find out why my Indesign crashed everytime i try to open a document i got pretty desperate.
Reading forums and found a lot of people with this kind of issue i found out it had something to do with the font i used in that document.
I found out Indesign CC keeps all fonts that you open before in the dropdownlist, even that font is deactivated. So when you open the document your indesign start to look for that font, also typekit does, and that's where the problem was...
After trying a few things i found out, if you know what font u use in that document and you activate that font in your extern fontprogram (i use Universal type client),
Open than Indesign, the document opens, if you want to open the font when Indesign is open it just crash.
Just wanted to share this, hope it helps some people

Check for Third Party plugins. Make sure that you only have plugins that come with InDesign application. Remove custom/sample plugins and try again.
If the above doesn't work, delete InDesign preferences (at C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign).

Problems when using Adobe Wood Type Std font

I use Adobe Creative Cloud on an IMAC 21.5"/GT750M. Yesterday, I purchased Adobe Wood Type Std. Regular (Mac/Win, English). I installed this font by dragging it to the Font Book. The font is showing up on the font menu in Indesign, but most of the characters are showing up as black ovals or open rectangles with slashes. What have I done wrong? How can I get this font to work? Have I downloaded the wrong version for my computer/software?

As mentioned above, they should be readily available in the glyphs palette in both InDesign and Illustrator (Photoshop does not have one). For other apps like Word, your download should have included both a Keyboard Layouts folder and a Readme folder with instructions on how to install and use them and an explanation of how Pi fonts currently work. If you did not receive those, contact me at [email protected] to let me know and I will send them directly to you. I tested Word myself and the font does list, albeit somewhat illegibly because of all the bullets and ornaments when in sample mode; if you switch the menu to text only, you should find it easily in the 'A's, but it won't work easily in Word until the keyboard layouts are installed.

How to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly

I am a Dreamweaver newbie and am trying to learn how to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3 trying to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly in my web site. As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the font style effect does not show up on my site. I am working on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I have copied and pasted the javascript into the correct spot in the head of the index.html page as well as included the font-family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code for my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I have tried to view my site in my browser, but no dice. Doesn't display the Edge Web Font style in the web page. I believe I've done everything according to the directions, but I suppose I've missed some small detail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

You need to add a <script> to the head of your documents like the example below. In my example, I'm using all of the aguafina-script and league-gothic fonts.

<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/aguafina-script:n4:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
CSS:
     h1 {
     font-family: league-gothic, sans-serif;
     font-weight:bold;
     color: #639;
     font-size: 250%;
A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web Fonts and select the font you wish to use.
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
NOTE: You won't see the custom web fonts displayed in Design View, Live View or when previewed locally unless you use a local testing server. An easier way to test is by uploading the page to your remote server.
Hope this helps,
Nancy O.

My mac repeatedly reflows the screen and all the open file windows. why is this happening and how do I fix it? it happens while using Adobe InDesign 3.

this happens from time to time and I think in the past I have done a restart to make it stop. it's possible it only happens while using Adobe InDesign CS3 but I have not watched diligently enough to say for sure. the hard disk repeatedly, every 30 seconds or so, spins up and the entire screen reflows, finishing on the finder with open windows all opening in order. everything moves. then I need to go back to InDesign only to have it happen again. I don't necessarilly touch any keys or the mouse. as I type here it has stopped so maybe it really is an InDesign issue. does anybody know what's going on?

BDAqua and old comm guy,
thanks so much for the good advice. I used both of these and now the problem has stopped. first I checked the finder crash logs and yes, my finder had been crashing repeatedly.
next I removed the preferences files from the library, rebooted from the CD and ran disk utility to repair preferences. since then my computer has been stable.
there were some preferences that didn't get repaired when I ran disk utility. I am copying them here to refer to later if I need to. I don't understand what these mean to me:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

My PDF uses a font I have installed locally but is using Adobe Sans MM instead

Hello - I am hoping to contact Adobe directly about this but cannot find a way to do so, so here it goes.
Our accounting package is creating PDF's that include some text using a special bar code font, Code39-Narrow-F (Code39-Narrow-F.ttf). We install this font on all computers in the company, and I have confirmed it is installed on my PC.
I have a statement (pdf) from our accounting package that includes a line giving the total expenses using this bar code font, then under that using a normal font (Helvetica I think) so the total is also human readable.
In Adobe Reader this font is not being used, even though it is installed. According to the file properties in Adobe the "Actual font" is Adobe Sans MM. From what I have read online this is a standard built-in font used when the requested font is not found. Yet it is installed and actually if I try a few competitor PDF viewing products that font does show up. I have tried Google Chromes built in PDF reader as well as Foxit Reader and both display the bar code.
Therefore this seems to be a bug of some kind. I am testing with Adobe Reader 11.0.06 which I believe is the latest release.
I would be glad to send this PDF to someone at Adobe to review, including a copy of the font. The file itself though contains sensitive financial information so I do not want to post that here for the world to read.
Update: I have found another pdf report from the same accounting system that does show the bar code properly. Really strange eh? I can send an Adobe person this file as well for comparison.
Thank you
Bruce

Most people just read PDF's, and do not create them, and as such have no control over the PDF's they are presented with. I believe some fonts also require a license to use.
Adobe and other PDF readers do try and use the local fonts when they are available if it is not embedded. The issue I have is Foxit and Chrome appear to be more successful at that then Adobe. They appear to have a wider or more liberal font search algorithm than Adobe does. I would like Adobe to loosen up their font search so their product can be just as successful in displaying PDF's properly as their competitors.
I took another look at the two PDF's I have and noticed a difference with the fonts.
The one that works says the font is "Code39NarrowF" (literally like this, case sensitive etc).
The one that fails says the font is "code39-narrow-f" (again, literally)
The font itself on my computer is named 'Code39-Narrow-F.ttf,
In the registry is listed under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts is named "Code39NarrowF (TrueType)"
I suspect then that the non-Adobe products are figuring out that "code39-narrow-f" is either the name of the TTF file and matching it that way or maybe it does a case insensitive search that does not include the hyphens.
