Acrobat 9 goes blind to Type 1 fonts after ATM 4.1 install?

Acrobat's touch up tool has become unable to handle all Type I fonts, unless I uninstall and then reinstall the fonts in the current Windows session. I'm referring to use of the Touch up Text tool. It still does fine with TT fonts, but any attempt to touch up or add typing of an Adobe Type 1 font produces just small dots.
The problem started after I (probably unwisely) installed my old copy of ATM 4.1 on my Windows Vista System. Seeing that ATM didn't seem to work under Vista, I uninstalled ATM. However, after that, Acrobat 9.0 seems incabable of editing type 1 fonts, unless I ununstall the specific fonts I want to use in the editing, and then reinstall them. It works fine thereafter, until I shut down the computer and start again. By installing ATM did I damage Acrobat's ability to recognize Type I fonts?
The problem does not occur with any other CS 4 products.

Michael,
Thank you very much for the fast response and directons to the patch! The patch seems to have fixed the problem. That was a long-running annoyance.
Best regards,
Marty

True Type Fonts in Java

Hi all
I searched through the forum and found some threads with the same problem but never a solution attached so here is my question:
I'm currently trying to use a True Type Font in Java. I installed the font under windows and it works fine in e.g. Word, but when I try to use it in Java all I can see are "rectangles". I'm not sure if the problem lies in the font itself or if it is a problem of Java. The fonts are named "Fughetta" and "Toccata" and can be found here: http://www.efn.org/~bch/aboutfonts.html. He is a code snippet I'm using to test the font:
public void setFonts(Graphics g)
        if (f != null) {
            return;
        f = new Font("Fughetta", Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, 26);
        System.out.println(f);
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        setFonts(g);
        String s1 = "1234567890��!\"�$%&/(()=?`";
        String s2 = "qwertzuiop�+asdfghjkl��#yxcvbnm,.-<";
        String s3 = "QWERTZUIOP�*ASDFGHJKL��'YXCVBNM;:_>";
        String s4 = "1��{[]\\}@�~�|";
        g.setFont(f);
        g.drawString(s1, 10, 30);
        g.drawString(s2, 10, 70);
        g.drawString(s3, 10, 110);
        g.drawString(s4, 10, 150);
    }All help is appreciated ;)

Hy, Thanks for your sollution, but now I can't use this kind of approach.
I need to show a Bar Code Font inside a JTable cell, so I created my CellRenderer, in which I tried to change the font to my "Code EAN13" True Type font.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
            Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
             Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
             if (column == CollectInfoTableModel.CODBAREPRODUS_INDEX ) {
                     Font barCodeFont = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 36);
                     c.setFont(barCodeFont);
}This doesn't work, it just prints some strange characters.
I tried your sollution, but when I make :
Graphics2D g2D= (Graphics)c.getGraphics();i keep getting g2D = null.
What can I do ?
Is there a way to obtai a valid Grapics object on which to draw the glyphVector on ?

Dreamweaver freezes every morning, console shows it's going through all my fonts?

I'm on a mac, 10.9.2, with Dreamweaver CC (whatever's the newest version). Every morning, after starting Dreamweaver, I get about a minute or two, then it freezes. When I check the console log, I can see that it's going through all my fonts. I could publish the log, but it's the same line over and over, just with different fontnames (and unfortunately I have maaaany fonts, though only a few of them are active):
CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name "Futura Light" and got font with PostScript name "FuturaBT-Light". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.
I have to admit I don't know what this means, or what to do about this? The other CC apps don't do this, only Dreamweaver (which shouldn't need any fonts to begin with, except for a few standard font-stacks). Anyway, usually I force-quit Dreamweaver, and after that it works fine (as fine as Dreamweaver usually does, at least).
A note on the side – here at the bureau we use Extensis' Universal Type Client for font management.
Any help? Good ideas? Lucky guesses? ;-)
Thanks

We have checked out the issue & looks like DW starts scanning all the Extensis fonts at startup. We are investigating into it.
In the meantime it would be great if you can file a bug here. This will help us prioritize it based on the number of user requests.

My Publisher plugin Open Type Fonts DON'T PRINT iPhoto 6.0.5 (316)

I want to post this problem in the hopes it will save some other people the 7 months of frustration I have gone through with My Publisher.
Apparently, My Publisher is unable to print Open Type fonts. After 7 months of editing and re-editing photos, scanning and re-scanning photos, and placing 13 different orders, someone at My Publisher finally called me to help with the problem. The phone call came after I had emailed Walt Mossberg of the WJS about their total lack of customer service!
After every order I placed, for the same book, was cancelled, I received the exact same form email, which said I have a corrupt photo file/.jpg and I should fix it. I kept telling them that the Mac and iPhoto don't send them any .jpgs, only a PDF file. No matter what I told them, I got the same email in reply—I have a corrupt .jpg.
Once they decided to help me (after almost 7 months), we were able to narrow down the problem within a week. They had me produce the same book on a PC, which I was unable to do because they only have about 4 templates and 6 fonts to choose from and are nothing like iPhoto. I made a book and just randomly inserted all the photos, no text. The book printed fine, proving to My Publisher that there was nothing wrong with any of my .jpgs.
I questioned My Publisher as to why the PC was limited to 6 fonts and were they installed with their BookMaker software and they said "Yes." This led me to believe my problem was with the fonts and they agreed. After talking to them further about fonts, they said they had trouble printing Post Script fonts, but they had printed several books for me that used Post Script fonts. The culprit turned out to be an Open Type font. Once I changed the Open Type font to the True Type version, the book printed perfectly. I don't know if this problem was limited to only this particular font or all Open Type fonts.
I have asked My Publisher to pursue this problem and post information about it on their website so other people don't have to go through all this frustration.
Other than this problem, I have been very happy with all the books I have received from My Publisher. The quality has been excellent. The color is a bit off in a few photos some of the time, but for the most part, the color is quite accurately reproduced, at least to my eye. Hot pinkish/purple colors seem to pose a problem.

Thanks for the information. I hope to place my first order with them. I am searching for others' experiences to make sure I don't make the same mistakes.
Thanks again.

True type fonts not showing in Motion 2.1.2

Although I don't want to, my client is insisting I use the VAG Round type face in the video I'm making for them. It's a true type font.
Although it shows in the drop down font menu, the face displays as Helvetica. The font file is located in Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts/VAG Round.ttf
For now, I'm going to create .ai files with the copy but would prefer to type directly into Motion.....
Any suggestions?
thanks
Marco

Make sure the folder names and file names contain no special characters such as accents. This is a bug.

Can't print True Type fonts

I have been unable to print certain true type fonts on OS X from my HP laser printer. I had no trouble printing from OS X on my past Powerbook, and then realized that the difference with my current machine and past machines was that this is the first Mac I had that didn't have OS 9 installed. On my past computers, I had installed Adobe Type Manager (ATM), but of course didn't have it on my current Powerbook.
Is there an ATM for OS X? How can I get my true type fonts to print like they used to on my HP Laserjet?
Thanks for the help,
Bill Nealey

I have been unable to print certain true type fonts
on OS X from my HP laser printer.
which ones? where were they stored?
I had no trouble
printing from OS X on my past Powerbook, and then
realized that the difference with my current machine
and past machines was that this is the first Mac I
had that didn't have OS 9 installed.
This should make no difference. You can place OS 9 TrueType fonts in the Library/Fonts folder instead of the System Folder/Fonts folder if you want.
On my past
computers, I had installed Adobe Type Manager (ATM),
but of course didn't have it on my current Powerbook.
Makes no difference unless you're running Classic.
Is there an ATM for OS X?
No. OS X uses PDF for both screen and print display. ATM is required only for Classic/OS 9.
How can I get my true type
fonts to print like they used to on my HP Laserjet?
Put them in a font folder where the OS will see them. Possible font folders:
1 Library/Fonts
2 <user>/Library/Fonts
3 System Folder/Fonts
Thanks for the help,

New MBP users using XP via Boot Camp - Can you install Open Type Fonts?

Have any of the new MacBook Pro owners that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
After having troubleshooted with Adobe and Microsoft, and after having reinstalled Windows over 6 times on two different new MacBook Pros, I am starting to believe that this issue affects all new MacBook Pros.
For some points, could someone please try to install an Open Type Font in Windows XP, and let me know if you are successful?
Thank you!

I had the exact same problem and *finally solved it*. I am running Windows XP Professional on a new MacBook Pro via BootCamp as well. Although its totally contradictory to logic, you need to use True Type fonts. I understand, you open your fonts folder and all the standard fonts are Open Type. We had purchased a font family that I had running on my Dell which used the exact same operating system. It was Open Type and it worked fine. I got a new MacBook Pro and was transfering everything over, including all of my fonts. The fonts that we purchased as or had converted to Open Type for me (the only windows guy working on graphics related stuff) were not loading on the new machine (MacBook Pro) even though they worked fine on the old (Dell). When I tried to install them, I kept getting an error that read something like "unable to install font. it may be corrupt, contact font vendor." I spent about a week with the font vendor trying to figure it out. no luck. One day I tried install a folder full of other fonts, mixed versions of True Type and Open Type, and all of the True Type installed and the Open Type did not. I got my hands on a True Type version of the font I was struggling with and now it works fine.
It makes no sense. Every person who seemingly knows way more about this type of stuff seems to think that this is not possible, and that I'm not smart enough to understand what I did. They will tell you that there is nothing different about running windows on a Mac than on a PC, in fact it should run better on a Mac, blah blah blah (not really true in actual practice as far as my experiences go). But this worked for me and I have no problems with it anymore. Good luck.

Boot Camp users using XP via Boot Camp - Can you install Open Type Fonts?

Have any of the Boot Camp 2.1 users that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
After having investigated with Adobe and Microsoft, and after having reinstalled Windows over 6 times on two different new MacBook Pros, I am starting to believe that this issue affects all new MacBook Pros and/or Boot Camp 2.1 users.
For some points, could someone please try to install an Open Type Font in Windows XP, and let me know if you are successful?
Thank you very much!

Experiencing the same from a fresh install of Windows XP on Boot Camp 2.1.
Tried 2 different scenarios. Installed Windows XP, Boot Camp Drivers, Open Type Fonts. Received an not a valid font file when trying to install. Installed Windows XP and then the Open Type Fonts. All fonts registered and accessed by the operating system without the Boot Camp Drivers. Installed the Boot Camp Drivers and checked the fonts, received error messages accessing fonts.
Pretty sure its the Boot Camp Drivers that are causing the problems with Windows and the fonts. Hopefully there is an updat to address this issue.

Problem with True Type font

I have a Windows True Type font (Palatino Linotype, purchased directly from Linotype) that I use in my PowerPoint presentations in order to provide compatibility with my benighted PC-based clients. I just installed Leopard (a Christmas present from my family!), and this font is not working properly in Word.
Two letters are bad: i and j. There is extra space inserted after the letter i whether upper or lower case. There is no space around the letter j: if I type 10 consecutive j's, I see only one.
It was working fine in Tiger. It works fine in Excel, PowerPoint, and Mail (i.e., it displays correctly and prints correctly). The error only occurs in Word and persists when I send the file to the printer, and also persists if I print to PDF or Preview. The error is visible in all layouts of Word.
I checked out 10-12 other fonts, including several other TTF fonts, and they are all okay. I also tried moving the font from my user Library to the System Library, and taking it out of the folder that it came in, but the effect is the same.
I have the latest version of Word (11.3.8). I have updated my initial install to 10.5.1. I do not have any special drivers loaded. My machine is pretty much plain vanilla Apple.
I suspect that this is either a Word problem or a Linotype problem, but neither of those vendors are usually of much help, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to assist.

Scrubbing with type-font size / Character palette?

I could be wrong but I thought you used to be able to scrub with a left-right movement in the character pallette (among others) - to change values for things, say, type/font size for example - but it appears in CS4 you can no longer do this?
What I mean is, I want to be able to rapidly change the size of a selected lettering without having to click the up/down arrows changing it one point at t a time - is there a better way to do this (besides manually typing in a new value/number)?
Hopefully that makes sense - works like that in Photoshop (used to in AI - or am i crazy?)

You are wrong, in AE, PPro, Encore, Flash, Soundbooth you have the dynamic sliders but not graphic programs only seem to be the motion graphic applications.
Not sure if they are as meaningful in the graphic program where the text will be static. That might be the reason such dynamics are not in those programs, where a more studied and precision requirement or standard might apply.
For instance is it practical to scrub and stop at 32.133 pts? and is it far more likely you want a specific point size? If you use paragraphs and paragraphs of text is this a feature that gets in the way or does it give you more freedom?
Not sure it is a good idea even if it can be done, I think they would have o give this out to a large number of users to test it.
I do not really mean something like a beta group of some kind but more a user group of a certain number for Photoshop, Illustrator and ID
but i think most might say it is not helpful after a while.
The answer to your direct question is no you are wrong it never existed.

Slightly off topic but a query on open type fonts

Hi all
I went to buy the frutiger fonts (9fonts) from adobe. The format is open type which is what I want. B ut when going to buy them I am asked whether I want mac or windows format. I thought open type fonts were cross platform? We have both MACs and PCs, if I want the font on both do I have to buy both formats ?
Link to font:
http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1186.jhtml
Thanks for any help, sorry for this being off topic but I couldn't see where else to post.

Yes, that's it, pretty much. Also, our download manager needs to know whether you're using Mac or Windows. The *contents* of the purchased file are the same.

Acrobat 10.1.1.33 crashes after a few weeks from install and wont start up without re-install

We have Adobe CS6 installed at work and every couple of weeks Acrobat just crashes silently and then refuses to load, even when opened via short cut, windows context menu, etc. Repairing the install doesn't fix this issue and instead I have to completely uninstall CS6 and reinstall to get Acrobat to work again for a few more weeks until it repeats. I am not the only one in the office having this issue.
I had a look into windows application logs and found this entry logged for the exact time acrobat silently crashed:
Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 10.1.1.33, time stamp: 0x4e64e9d5
Faulting module name: Acrobat.dll, version: 10.1.1.33, time stamp: 0x4e64fa0a
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00020bd8
Faulting process id: 0x225c
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf2351bc3ef267
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
Report Id: 49b20389-8f45-11e3-b30b-90b11c5f8db5
The computer was fresh out the box running windows 7 64bit and has nothing other than CS6 installed. While Acrobat wont work at all, Photoshop and other CS6 applications installed work fine.
Anyone know of a fix?

Have you tried the updates? AA X is at 10.1.9. At least you have 10.1, that was the minimum required for 64-bit systems. When it fails, was there something else that was installed or updated just before the crash? Was there any error code given when the failure occurred. I see that you got the log entry and that is good, but not very useful to users like us -- only maybe to Adobe staff.
What where you doing in Acrobat when the failure occurred? Does Distiller still open? Can you print to a PDF? Just trying to home in on what might be the issue.
If you proceed with a reinstall (since you can't repair), do the following steps: Uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left overs of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. After the install, do the updates to 10.1.9. I would then suggest backing up the drive or at least the registry and Adobe folder in Program Files (X86). With the latter, you might be able to get things back. At least with the Acrobat folder you can see if it is related to any files there having problems or something in the registry. There are a few files in the system32 (or 64?) folder also.
You might also try http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?cat=support&loc=en_us to see if there are specific Adobe recommendations about your problem. However, specifics are needed and it is hard for me to provide an inquiry based on what you have given, though it may be all you can easily tell us.

Open type font "Myriad Pro" support in Java AWT

Hi
I have installed open type font "Myriad Pro" on my machine.
When I use the following AWT APIs on jre 1.6, I dont get the open type font "Myriad Pro" in the font list.
Code snippet
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
if (ge != null) {
java.awt.Font[] fontList = ge.getAllFonts();
The fontList variable doesnt have "Myriad Pro" font.
My question is
1) Is the open type font "Myriad Pro" supported by java AWT?
2) Is there a workaround to get that particular font?
Thanks
Vikas

When I print out the list of all the fonts java recognizes on my machine, all the otf fonts (about 70 of them) are missing including Myriad Pro. All the true type fonts show up. You might need to convert the Myriad Pro into a true type font to get it recognized in java.

How to print true type font in smartform with ECC6

hi,expert:
I want to use true type font "Comic Sans MS.ttf".
I upload this font file by SE73 named ZTT2I.
In SE73.. select the Radio button "Font Families" And click on the "True type Font Installation" button. click the font attribute ITALIC。
Our print device is LP01 and driver is CNSAPWIN
when I create a new style in smartform using the font ZTT, in preview window the font still like other font.
Our system is IDES ECC6, SAP_BASIS SAPKB70014
Now when I create smartfrom in language EN adn logon with language EN,it can print correct style of that font.
But if the smartform is base on language ZH or logon with language ZH, the output is not correct.
why? How to solve it?
how can I solve this problem?
thaks a lot

Hi,
Is the problem that uploaded true type font ZTT is not used when language is ZH? Did you update the chinese version of the style associated with the smartform? There is a separate style for each language version. So you need to log on in Chinese language and update the style with new paragraph, character formats. Then you need to activate the style and smartform for ZH langauge also.

Aidan
