Acrobat and font issues

I believe acrobat has a limit in number of system fonts. I have to close Extensis (reducing the number of system fonts) in order to make pdfs wiith my non-Adobe applications. This is a pain since I usually have to close all adobe applications to produce a pdf in applications like Word, etc. Does anyone know of a better work around.

I normally get a message that amounts to file not created because font not found message. I am not getting that message today, but I recently increased the size of my virtual memory. Apps like Word and Quicken were at least creating the file, but using the wrong fonts. I then unchecked the rely on system fonts switch and it seems to be working for now.
I read somewhere that Acrobat could only handle about 300 active system fonts so I assumed that was the problem...especially since the applications could produce pdfs when Extensis was closed, thus removing the fonts it manages. I guess I could have put some of the system fonts under Extensis' control, but I was afraid that I might remove vital fonts that some application needed and cause all kinds of problems like not being able to read anything when an application opened up or something crazy like that.
Anyway, problem solved for now. Thanks.

Widget (interaction) size and font issues when published in HTML 5

I'm using Captivate 7 and when I create and preview widget interactions (accordian, tab, etc.) the sizing and font look correct. However, when I publish it to HTML 5, it is not the right size, is left justified rather than centered, and does not have the custom font (defaults to Arial).
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!

Adobe writes inline css for the font on that widget, in the CPM.js file. You's have to create a new class and and write your own rules using @font-face to ensure end-users can use the font. SWF files can embed fonts, but html does not.
If the user doesn't have to font you use it will default.
This is an example of how the Header title and instruction of the widget is written:
<headerTitle><font face="Arial" style="Arial" size="23" align="LEFT"/>
          <textDecoration bold="true" underline="false" italic="false"/>
          <color textColor="0xffffff" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
        </headerTitle>
<headerInst><font face="Georgia" style="Georgia" size="14" align="LEFT"/>
          <textDecoration bold="false" underline="false" italic="true"/>
          <color textColor="0xb9dff6" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
</headerInst>

Acrobat typewriter font issue

Hi, when I click on "Typewriter" in Acrobat Pro 9.4.3/Win7-32(en) and start typing, everything's ok at first (I chose "Times New Roman"):
However, after I click elsewhere and start typing there, suddenly some international characters change their font, and, moreover, last word disappears!...
Don't you know how to avoid this strange behaviour? It happens with a majority of fonts installed (they contain international chars and work normally e.g. in Microsoft Word etc.).
Thanks for help, S.

Indesign CS4 - Export to SWF and font issue

Hello,
How do you embed a font in an Indesign CS4 document when you are going to export it to an SWF file?
I have an Indesign CS4 document that uses a particular font. This document is then exported to an SWF file which is then uploaded in our intranet website. When users view the internal website, the SWF font uses a different font like Times New Romans. I do not get this issue because I have the particular font used in that document installed on my machine.
Are there any work arounds for this issue other than distributing the font used in that exported SWF file?

InDesign should embedd fonts by default when exported to swf... may be you have some protected font in use? do you have problems with other fonts too? Quick and dirty workaround is convert your text to outlines... not good one but fast...

Acrobat and Creo issues

Hello everyone,
I am digital printer using a xerox 700 digital press running Creo Rip Software. Lately I have been running into some issues when printing from Acrobat 10.1.1.
First: When I choose print from Acrobat it makes me choose a paper size. This not a problem if I am printing a standar sized document ( letter or tabloid ) but often I need to step out busines cards and post cards. So what I usually do is just choose a paper size that is close. Now whats strange is that once it gets to my Creo rip software some times it sees the file as the document size and sometimes it sees it as the paper size. I am sure it's a setting in Acrobat but I am not sure where to look. Does any one know how to get some consistancy in this situation.
Second: I have been running into an issue that when I print from Acroabt or Photoshop my white letters are getting some dot gain noise. The odd thing is when I print from Indesign I dont have that problem.
I am hoping some one out there also uses Creo or has some experience with it. I am having difficulty finding any support for Creo and unfortunitly thats the software I am stuck with.
So if any one has advice or good links I should check out I would be very greatful.

A page in a PDF has an overall size and may also have a trim size. To see the trim size of a page, go to Acrobat preferences> General> show Art, Trim and Bleed boxes. Or go to Tools> Print Production> Set page boxes> trim box. I use Impostion software to do what you are doing, but I think many people simply place their PDF(s) into InDesign and use step and repeat to impose their press sheet. When you place a PDF into InDesign you can choose to crop the PDF to the trim, bleed, or overall size.
As for your noise issue, I'm thinking you are printing your PDF as an image, which is converting your nice vector art into a raster image, the same thing happens when you open a PDF in Photoshop.

BPEL Portlets and Font issue in 10.1.4

We have successfully register the BPEL portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. However, whenever we include a BPEL portlet on a page, it seems to change all the fonts??? Removing the portlet, and the fonts are better again.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
BradW

So, it looks as though the issue is with the Stylesheet used by the portlets. They use TR and TD elements etc which look as though they may override the other stylesheets inside the portal. Bad design by Oracle. Will be adding to my enhancement list...

FrameMaker Console Box and Font Issue

I work in an office that uses an automated process to import XML files into FrameMaker 11. After importing, the files are formatted into FM11 documents. We are working in a Windows 7 environment.
We recently upgraded the Zapf Dingbats font family to ITC Zapf Dingbats Std font family.
When I import the xml file, I am receiving the following FrameMaker Console message:
The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
It will be replaced by "Adobe Pi Std".
I was advised to add the following line of code to the maker.ini file:
[UnknownToKnownFontMap]
Zapfdingbats, *,*= ITC Zapf Dingbats Std,*,*
After making this change, when I import an xml file, the FrameMaker Console box is displaying the following message:
The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
It will be replaced by "ITC Zapf Dingbats Std".
What is causing the FrameMaker Console box to display and what can I do to prevent it from displaying? I am working with multiple templates, EDDs, and Rules files. This message is displaying for all of the imports that I am performing.
Any assistance with this issue will be appreciated.

You can turn off display of the Console window by:
Look in the Preferences for "Show File Translation Errors" (corresponding
to the ShowErrors setting in the maker.ini file). According to the
online manuals:
ShowErrors determines if error messages are displayed in the console
window when they occur

Intro and Font Issue w/ Word 2003

Hey everyone, I'm new to the board here and looks like
there's quite a bit of good info here.
If this has been covered already somewhere, I'd like to check
out the thread.
The machine I'm working with is set up with Windows 2000,
Office 2003 (with the Word 2003 fix), updated to RoboHelp X5.0.1.
I'm generating Win2000 help that just insists on using Times
New Roman font in the resulting help file no matter what I do.
Every font I change in the style in Word keeps on invading my help
file as Times. I've messed around with the templates to no avail.
I've copied the Robohelp.dot template into another directory
and changed it, and that did nothing. I've also changed Normal.dot
to see if that does anything, and am still coming up with Times New
Roman in my help file.
"Automatically Update Styles" is not checked underneath the
document template file selection field, so my style changes appear
to be sticking with the Word document when I close and re-open it.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

CS5.5 photoshop and fonts issue

I have CS 5.5 creative master suite. I use it on my old computer window vista 32 bit 4 gig RAM no problem.
I just upgrade my brand new computer window 7 / 64 bit 8 gig of RAM, intel(R) core (tm) i7-4770 CPU 3.4 Ghz, suppose to be much better and faster.
I install my CS5.5 creative master collection on my new computer, everything seem ok, except PhotoShop is very slow. I also recently install about 5 thousand fonts in my font folder.
and then Photoshop became extremely slow, for example when I move my mouse it takes about 30 second for the arrow to move.
any advice please help.
I also plan to install maximum RAM to 32 but it is expensive .
P.S. I follow the instruction to install fonts by drag and drop to font folder from control. Is this correct or there is a better way to install and manage fonts.
I know that there are other users that have a massive fonts suite , how do they manage it with out slow down the computer? (actually only photoshop is slow down, but everything else still fast)
AI is ok even with new added fonts .

Welcome to the forum.
Having 5000 fonts will slow down Ps, AI, InDesign, and probably some other programs.
I would look into adding a "font manager." I use the Extensis Suitcase, but there are others, including the highly praised, free FontFrenzy.
Though I have about 19,000 fonts, I seldom have more than about 350 installed on my system, at any one time.
I have my fonts grouped by Project, Client, their styles, and a half-dozen other characteristics. When needed, I just activate the Font Set, that is needed, and deactivate it, when done.
Good luck, and let us know if using a font manager makes life easier for you.

Slow menu and font issue!

This morning when I turned on my vision box it was running slow and the menus/tv guides were changing very slowly as I was navigating between channels to see what was on.
I thought maybe it was my box messing up so I turned it off and left it (and my hub) switched off most of the day. I have just turned everything back on and it still the same.
The font when browsing tv guide/on demand is clearly different and sortof thinner than usual and it doesnt look rite at all and the menus are really slow and sluggish when browsing stuff.
Has there been an update to bt vision in the last 24 hours or so or is this a known problem and can anyone tell me how to fix it because its extremely annoying?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I switched off my vision box for about 5 hours yesterday but when I turned it back on the problem is still the same.
When im navigating the tv guide or ondemand menus like scrolling through (Film, Tv, Replay...) it scrolls really slowly and blury and the font has changed. The font remains the same on the menu titles at the top but its deffinately changed when browsing the Tv guide or through shows/movies.
Its a lot thinner..before yesterday all the text/show titles were like: Doctor Who but now its all like: Doctor Who ...really thin and I can hardly read them.
Its been like this since Sunday/early Monday. Are you sure there hasnt been any updates in that time? or anything that could have caused this because noones touched the settings or anything like that its just happened on its own.
I hope someone can help because its driving me nuts and straining my eyes

Anyone struggling with gestures and font issuer since upgrading to Lion?

I am really frustrated since "uprgrading " to Lion!! I no longer have pinch and zoom functions except in safari!

Font issue in Acrobat 8

We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
Thanks

I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
Thanks
