10.6 and Adobe CS 4 - Fonts !

Have just got my hands on a few new MacPros and have upgraded 2 to 10.6.1. One I've put in with some photographers who use photoshop and bridge - no issue - love the speed - beautiful !
The other I have spent 3 days trying to get indesign (and Illustrator) to recognise type 1 fonts - In fact I've had problems in 1 user even being able to see the standard /Library/Fonts ... I've just found out that other 3rd party apps like Entourage cant see the t1 fonts either ... Ive put the t1's into the /Library/Fonts folder as I have previously done when only a small number of t1's were needed ...
The only way I have been able to get CS to see and use the Type 1 fonts is put them into an app support folder - then it kind of works ...
Thankfully this was testing mode so no production was jeopardised, and I've just grabbed 1 of the 10.5 factory install macs and got that running without too much issue - except of course for the Helvetica and Hel Neue - known issues ...
And yes I changed users back to Admin and got the /Library/Fonts working but still no Type 1's so there must be some weird prefs thing happening. And cleared the caches and used different Font managers but still not easy to fix under 10.6 ... Fontbook shows ALL the fonts and Mail sees them and Safari !
I believe a few out there are Ok with T1 fonts, you must have magic fonts !

PS I am using Adobe Font Folio fonts

Have you ever tried it with Snow Leopard? CS2 and CS4 both work fine with it, so it is hard to believe that CS3 would not. Clone your system to an external drive using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and then upgrade the clone to Snow Leopard. Order the 10.6.3 disk from Apple and then upgrade to 10.6.8 using the combo updater. Once you are on Snow Leopard, you can use the Firefox browser, which is up to date and runs on 10.6 and above.

Preview and Adobe fonts problem/missing in PDF

I have a PDF document that doesn't show some fonts. The PDF was displaying fine on preview and then all of the sudden the next day it got messed up. I didn't performed any update or installed any new app. The problem persists in both Preview app and Adobe Reader; at least Adobe tells me: "Cannot find or create the font 'BYGBIR+Helvetica-12-0'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Here's a screen shot of what it looks like.

L Huffman,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
Try to select one of files in question by clicking once and then press the key combo command + i or go to the File menu and select Get Info.
Once the Get Info pane is open drop down (if not already in the open position) the disclosure triangle next to "Open with:" and change the application that will open "this" file. To change all files of the type make sure to click on the "Change All" button.
That should do it....post back if that is not what you are trying to do.

Font size in photoshop elements and adobe

Just got a new laplop and have photoshop elements 9 and adobe premiere. I'm having a terrible time reading what is on the screen. Text is not only very tiny but it is most often black on gray or some other very difficult to read combination of colors for the fonts. Is there anyway to change this to larger fonts and different color schemes so everything is more readible? I've never encountered this in previous versions on my old laptop.

Sadly there is not much you do to make it any better.

On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

Thank you Sanjit,
I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

I have just downloaded a copy of Photoshop and Adobe Bridge CS4 onto a second laptop I recently purchased. However the font size of the menu bar/tool bars is extremely small. My other laptop also has a copy of CS4 but it does not have the extremely small

I have just downloaded a copy of Photoshop and Adobe Bridge CS4 onto a second laptop I recently purchased. However the font size of the menu bar/tool bars is extremely small. My other laptop also has a copy of CS4 but it does not have the extremely small font size. Could you please tell me how to increase the font size in the menu/tool bars?

You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Font difference between MS WORD and Adobe Acrobat Pro

I am facing an issue with Font difference between the PDF's which are created through MS word "Save as PDF" utility and Adobe PDF maker add-on. Let me explain what my analysis detail.
1. Both MS word and Adobe acrobat using the font from the windows\fonts folder where my font Univers ATT font resides. I have confirmed this with the Acrobat distiller. below is the screenshot.
2. If I check the font properties through File->properties->Fonts tab both PDF font properties looks same.
Save as PDF
Adobe PDF
When comparing the PDF we are able to see the font formatting mismatch between these two PDF. Below screenshot.
Please advise me how to resolve the issue. The form should be match in formatting level also in order to proceed the implementation in my project.
Expecting your answer soon.

Thank you Bill.
Actually the difference not showing until we are selecting the Formatting option. The below screenshots illustrate the same.
Comparing two documents:
The difference not showing before selecting formatting.
Selecting the formatting option.
Once selected the formatting I am getting the formatting level difference between the PDF's. One is created with MS word SAVE AS PDF utility. The other PDF created with ADOBE PDFMAKER.
The comment pop-up clearly says in terms of font, fill color there should be difference. But I am not sure how Compare documents option comparing and showing the result. What all are the factors would be consider during comparison. Please help. Until resolving the issue I can't resume my project. Thanks in advance.

What Fonts are in Adobe Reader XI Font Packs - Asian and Extended Language Pack?

I have been unsuccessful in determining what fonts are included in the "Adobe Reader XI Font Packs - Asian and Extended Language Pack".
Is there a description link or a way to determine from within Reader?

Windows 7 and Adobe Fonts

hi, i have windows 7 and still using CS3. type manager does not work with windows 7. i was so accustomed to using type manager but thought i figured out how to get my fonts working. They are in other software (such as microsoft/quark). However, in all my adobe products my fonts besides the fonts which were loaded on the computer are not showing up. can you help?

There is a known bug with CS3 and all 64-bit versions of Windows (not just Windows 7) in which Type 1 fonts installed in the C:\Windows\fonts directory simply do not show up in the applications. This was fixed for CS4. The workaround is to also install those Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite private font directory. They will then show up in the CS3 applications' font lists.

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.

ID CS4 and Adobe Digital Editions

One reason I purchased ID CS4 was for the ability to create ebooks using ADE. However, my first attempt to export to ADE has been far from successful.
The project is a 152-page book. It was "created" in ID CS4 and is straight text except for the publisher's logo, which appears on the title page. Each chapter is its own file, as is each element of the front matter. Three fonts are used in the publication: Arial, Formata, and Palatino. The Formata and Palatino fonts are OT fonts; they were newly purchased as OT fonts for this client. Each use of italic or bold in the book's text, excluding heads, is by a character style that includes the font family name. For example, if the text is supposed to be Palatino Italic, the character style includes both bits of information, a generic Italic is not used.
I combined all of the elements of the project into a single ID Book, which is what I used to update numbering, etc. When I export to PDF from the Book, everything works fine. When I export to Adobe Digital Editions from the Book, the following occurs:
1. Arial and Palatino are embedded but Formata is not.
2. The first and last files of the Book (i.e., the title page and the References) appear in the ePub file and are viewable in the ADE viewer, but everything between those two files, including all of the text chapters, are empty files that appear as blank pages in the ADE viewer.
What am I doing wrong? How do I
a. Get Formata embedded?
b. Get the complete project into an ePub file?
Another thought: Would the way to do this be to do each chapter as a separate export to ADE and then combine each of the separate files into a single ePub file? If so, how would one do this? I've noted that when creating an ePub file several additional informational files are created. It isn't clear to me how one would combine that information.
Also, is there a good source and/or book (or several sources and/or books) that gives step-by-step instruction information on turning a project into an ePub file? Although this project has no graphics, tables, etc., future projects will have numerous graphics, tables, etc. and so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

You're not actually doing anything wrong. You're experiencing a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming update to InDesign CS4.
The cause of the problem comes down to the spaces in the name of the font you've used in your document (i.e. Myriad Pro Bold). If an embedded font contains spaces in its name, it won't be used and Adobe Digital Editions will use its default font instead. The problem can be overcome by directly editing the EPUB file. I use Oxygen to open up the EPUB file directly, but you can also change the .epub file extension to .zip and then unarchive the package to gain access to the various files within it. Once you've opened the EPUB file, you need to modify three things: the template.css file, encryption.xml file, and the font files.
Template.css
At the top of the CSS file, you'll see font face declarations for each font you've used in your document. If your font(s) has spaces in its name, you'll notice that a %20 has replaced the space. Change each instance of the %20 to a hyphen. Here's an example:
@font-face {
font-family: Myriad Pro;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:url(Fonts/MyriadPro%20Bold.otf);
Change to:
@font-face {
font-family: Myriad Pro;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:url(Fonts/MyriadPro-Bold.otf);
Encryption.xml
For each type style you've used in your document, there will be a <enc:CipherData> element. If your font(s) has spaces in its name, you'll notice that a %20 has replaced the space here as well. Change each instance of the %20 to a hyphen. Here's an example:
<enc:CipherData>
<enc:CipherReference URI="OEBPS/Fonts/MyriadPro%20Regular.otf"/>
</enc:CipherData>
Change to:
<enc:CipherData>
<enc:CipherReference URI="OEBPS/Fonts/MyriadPro-Regular.otf"/>
</enc:CipherData>
Font Files:
Within the EPUB package is a folder called "Fonts," where all the embedded fonts reside. You need to rename the files by replacing the spaces with hyphens.
That's all there is to it. After editing and saving the files, you'll have to rearchive the package and change the .zip extension back to .epub. If you use Oxygen to edit the package, there is no rearchiving necessary. You can also use the free PDFXML Inspector, but I definitely prefer Oxygen since it provides many more tools and its not so clunky.

My site previews fine in live, explorer and firefox, but the fonts are extra large and bold on chrome, this is my first site, please assist. I will be happy to provide screenshots and code or css sheets.

Working on my first site, Am getting different previews. Chrome tends to make the font big and bold while all other browsers work fine. Here is what the preview looks like in chrome followed by the firefox preview. I have my CSS and HTML code sheets below. Am also having a hard time centering the navigation links, they are a little closer to top of the navigation div than the bottom. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Adobe Muse, using an adobe edge web font but having a problem with Google Chrome

Adobe Naskh Medium Font is missing

Hey there! I reinstalled Photoshop after a fresh installation of Windows 7. Unfortunately all Adobe Fonts are missing. I'm specifically searching for the Adobe Naskh Medium font as the contract for my weddingphotohraphy is written in this font.
Where can I download those missing font? Is this even possible? What could be the error?

Without knowing exactly what fonts and how the file was created we can't tell you much. Fonts have variants and versions just like anyone else and if someone e.g. uses an old TrueType or PostScript font and not an OpenType font substitution will be almost inevitable. Just the same things like faux bold and italic can cause unwanted font substitutions as can many other things like different language settings...

Sharing Indesign on CC show low-resolution images and not the right font in preview

Dear Adobe,
I really want to make use of CC Files and the sharing ability with my clients. I have shared an Indesign file, whereas all the links in that indesign file are on CC Files too. The font is a regular Futura Std. But both the links in the files (background and logo) and the font used are not showing up correctly. I deleted the file and uploaded it again, but it is still showing a bad preview. This is not something I can share with my clients.
Am I doing something wrong? It appears that another Illustrator file is showing its preview in low-resolution and after 2 seconden it renders it at a higher resolution.
Regards,
Daniel

Fonts may not and links will not show up correctly in the image preview on the Files page. The preview being created on the server is not able to access the links, and only the default fonts are available.
You can export a PDF and share this with your clients (and you can always include a link to the InDesign files if the clients need to download them).
