Adding fonts in CS4

Hi
How do I import a new font to either photoshop or DW CS4?
Also any reccomendations on what fonts are hot at the moment?
many thanks
Mark

Hi John
Yes I am aware of the need to make the design browser friendly and compatable.
I guess the question has two parts,
Are there any new/interesting clear fonts that I can get for DW that work with the web? where from and how do i intergrate them with DW CS4?
part 2
How do I add a font to photoshop CS4 , and what is a good source of fonts? (What are you using right now?)
Many thanks
Mark

Font in CS4 doesn't work in CS6

I have a TrueType font that a friend made me a few years back. It's my favorite font and I use it frequently; however, I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and the font doesn't work properly in CS6. It does show in the font menus, but now in CS6 it's sorted in a separate font category (along with the Arabic fonts at the bottom), and the sample in the font menu is now merely squares in place of characters. There is a Regular and Bold verison of the font and both have the same issue.
What changed in CS6, and does anyone know how I can edit the font to make it work with InDesign again? I know I can just pick a new commercial font, but I have such a back log of work that used that font I'd prefer to just fix the font. This is on a Mac, and FontBook validates the font just fine, other apps (including CS4 also work fine with it), I'm not using any font management software (I use FontBook merely for validating the font.)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Peter.
I was able to fix 1 of the 2 problems. The font did in fact have some extraneous language entries in it's name table. I was able to edit those out and now the font sorts in the normal font list, and not in the Arabic font category.
But the font preview feature in the font menu is still showing boxes (instead of characters.) This is where it gets weird... if I go into Preferences and change the Font Preview size from Medium to Small or Large it works correctly. Just not with Medium (the default.) I've tried clearing font caches, etc, but I could at least live with small or large font previews in order to use the font with CS6.
To answer your question, the font does work correctly when setting type; however, if Font Preview is on the font will eventually be automatically disabled and drop out of the Font menu. Relaunching InDesign CS6 brings it back. Turning off Font Preview prevents this from happening.
I wonder what is different in CS6. Other apps work fine with this font (including CS4.) Even apps like Pages that also have font preview in their font menus.

How to change font in CS4

Hello All,
I have just got used to working with Dreamweaver CS3. I
created a template in CS3, and it is quite obvious
how to change the font face for an editable region in CS3
properties area.
I have just moved to CS4, and am editing a template I created
in CS3, and have not (as yet) found out how to select a different
font face for an editable region in CS4, that option seems no
longer on the property section of the workspace. How can I do this?
One more question - less remedial. I have a template with
repeatable and editable regions. It is a table that allows adding
or subtracting images in one cell and text in another. I want the
image tag width and height to always be 200x125 regardless of the
actual size of the image (the images will always be bigger than
200x125). Is there a way to set this in the template? I have set
the table cell to that size, but it expands if I add a larger image
to the table.
Thanks,
eholz1

Use the CSS 'button' on the upper, left corner of the
Property inspector.

This is within an editable region? I can think of no way to
do that.
Sorry.

Missing fonts in cs4

Hello All,
I have installed CS4 on my XP desktop after uninstalling CS2 completely and I am now having some font missings from the applictation.
Although the font name like "Arial Black" already exist on the PC but its not finding it. When I open an existing Indesign CS2 file( I am getting an error message saying few fonts are missing and then a find a font box coming up with missing font names marked with yellow !.
I dont know how to add these fonts back into the CS4.
Someone advised me to delete all "adobefnt*.LST" files but this did not work either for me.
Please can you advise how to do this?
Thanks
S

Fonts are never unloaded when installing software. In the case of Arial Black, go to Arial, and see if Black has been added to the Arial family (where you see Bold, Italic, etc.). As well, Adobe software will sometimes sort files differently than other applications, so look carefully though the list to see if the ones you are missing are sorted somewhere else.
Fonts are often loaded with software, and probably this has happened with CS4 (I am on CS3). You might have gotten new versions of some of your old fonts. This could cause the problems you are seeing in ID. I think you can just tell the files to update to the new versions, if this is the case.

Adding fonts to Dreamweaver

I am working on a site in which I want to use some fonts which are outside the choice of the wellknown webfonts we all use normally.
I am getting myself familiar with @font-face, typekit and Google fonts. Ran some tests on a test server and it worked.
However I want to use some of these free, open source fonts like Yanone Kaffesatz and Museo locally.
So I downloaded these fonts, loaded and activated them in my system trough Linoype Fontexplorer.
Now I try to get them to work in Dreamweaver, which does not work.
What I tried is adding them to the fontlist by using "edit Font List" from the bottom of the font list.
Then defined the font-family with them,like so:
font-family: "Yanone Kaffeesatz Bold";
When I preview the site in a browser the font does not show.
Some do, like League Gothic, but the ones I like to use, Kaffeesatz and Museo, don't.
These fonts do work correctly in other programs though.
I am on a mac and use DW CS4. Site is a straightforward HTML/CSS site which lives on my computer.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks

Type-Kit's portfolio plan costs me about $1 a week for the full run of their fonts. I don't bother to charge clients for using it. (How would I charge? An ongoing $4/5 clients per month? That's just silly.
The system is very easy to use; complete directions are, of course, on their website. Essentially, you set up a 'typekit' file in your account at Typekit for a specific url/domain, and either designate tags (I typically use h1, h2, and h3 tags, but you can also use p tags, etc.). All of those tags on pages that carry the proper 2-line javascript in the head of the page automatically use the typekit font.
You can also add the typekit class (I believe it's a class) to other tags to invoke the typekit font whenever you want to use it in a site, as long as it is registered in your typekit. I think I have five or six typekits set up now, and I'm just brushing the surface of how to use it.
Typekit also makes available 120+ Adobe fonts, which is how I heard about the service.
In my personal opinion, if you are hesitant to use a font from anywhere because you think it might not be there in 6 years, the best way to get around that is with images, though there could be licensing issues.
The biggest issue is licensing. If a font is not licensed for use on the web, there could be trouble. By using an online type service, like Linotype or Typekit, you avoid that difficulty. Linotype (fonts.com) will also be happy to license the download, locally-useful version of the font, as well. I have not actually investigated their fees (lowest plan is free..2,000 fonts; next plan is $10/month...7,000 fonts), though I buy fonts (downloaded...I recall about $16-24 per face) from them frequently. Linotype has been around since 1886, when Ottmar Mergenthaler first cast a line of type in lead. http://www.linotype.com/48/aboutlinotype.html, but as Monotype Imaging has a very strong presence as a purveyor of digital fonts.
Fonts.com has a very good how-to video, essentially similar information and procedure as Typekit uses.
The other issue here is the lifespan of a website. How long from initial design to re-design? Where does 6 years fall in that spectrum?
Regarding @fontface, I don't see any kind of online fonts there...just fonts you can buy and download. So much for being consistent across the web.
Not trying to talk your ear (eye?) off here, just a commentary to take into account.

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

Missing fonts in CS4. Works fine in CS3.

Hello,
When I open a file created with Fireworks CS3 that contains a
particular typeface. Fireworks prompts me that the system cannot
find this font. However, the font is active on my system and when
opening the document in CS3 it opens without any errors. If I
choose to update legacy text in CS4 it does not read the typeface
name the same as it did in CS3.
http://wonderfulunion.com/dropbox/missingfonts.jpg
Does the new Fireworks CS4 read fonts differently from CS3?
Such as by family name vs. font name.
When I try to access the particular typeface I'm using. It
does not show the weights that I had been using in CS3.
For instance the typeface I was using was "Vag Rounded".
This typeface shows up as:
18 VAG Rounded Black 09390
18 VAG Rounded Bold 07390
18 VAG Rounded Light02390
18 Vag Rounded Thin 55390
A total of 4 available fonts.
In CS3 this shows up as all 4 potential options.
However, CS4 it only shows up as VAGRounded.
I have posted a screenshot of how the font menu
differentiates between the programs.
http://wonderfulunion.com/dropbox/cs3_cs4_fontissue.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Demetre

Sarthak,
Unfortunately, that box is empty. I do understand what you
are referring to on a typeface and it's unique weights listed.
However, nothing is in the box.
Thanks.

Problem with adding Fonts using SE73

I have a requirement to add new fonts to use in PDF printing.
1) I have tried to add an MICR font using SE73 and I got the following message.
Error
Licensing: True Type Font must not be embedded.
Question: Is there any restriction on type of fonts that can be added to SAP?
2) I have tried a different font and added it successfully but I dont see the font in Font palette in PDF Layout.
Question: Is there any additional configuration to be done for the font to be visible in PDF - Font palette?
Please help.
Thank you,

Hi,
Go to Character formate in your form.
create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
you can give its type too.
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
a barcode printer
a barcode reader
a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

Font Book is empty even though I'm adding fonts. Shuts down randomely.

I've upgraded to Yosemite on a Mac. Randomly when I open Font Book the window shows there are no fonts activated. Which I know isn't true because I'm using many non system fonts. I'll go to add a font, the computer processes like it's adding the font, but the font is nowhere to be font on Font Book. Also, as I'm clicking around trying to trouble shoot Font Book Randomly shuts down. Somethings off, can't figure out what. Please help a technologically challenged user.

Howdy kidspaztik,
So Font Book will randomly not show fonts but other times shows them just fine. And at times clicking around within Font Book it may or may not quit.
I'm wondering if there is a corrupt font somewhere, or if this happens with another user.

Issue with font dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
i have a powerbook with tiger and dreamweaver 8, and also i have a mbp with leopard and dreamweaver cs4.
My issue is with font rendition .. i mean, i setup both system a software with the same parameters, code view in Dreamweaver with Monaco at 8pt, and in Look (System preferences) disable antialiasing for font smaller than 8pt. The issue is the with configuration the code appears in two different ways. With powerbook the view is fine, instead on mbp the font is like with antialising and it appears out of focus.. why does it happen?
The only different thing is the screen resolution 1440x960 against 1400x900..
Do you have any suggestion? Or code font to suggest..
Many thanks

On the MBPro, open FontBook, select the font, then from the Menu Bar, click File/Validate Font and see if that helps.

Unable to install Chinese Character Fonts in CS4

Hi,
Wondering if anyone successfully installed new chinese characters fonts in PS CS4?
I downloaded some fonts, managed to install in Windows but these chinese fonts are not reflected in PS. I'm currently using Vista.
I only have problem with chinese fonts as installation of other fonts works well.
The chinese fonts i'm trying to install are named HanDing-CS-Fonts (Truetype).
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks! = )

I don't have that font, nor do I have CS4 yet, but I can make some guesses: some Googling inclines me to believe that the font is not well made. This thread over at DTPForum indicates that it doesn't even show up correctly in Character Map. That's not a good sign (I'm assuming you're using Windows platform, here). Is there any chance that it's showing up with a Chinese name in your font list? In your Type preferences, there's a "Show Font Names in English" checkbox.
Barring that, I've noticed over the years that poorly-constructed fonts with decent multilingual coverage often show up in the wrong language category in Adobe products. You may want to scroll through your RTL and Thai fonts (which Pshop will show, even if it can't use them) to make sure that there's not a new font in there that is showing up with a broken name.
These are all guesses, though. Best of luck.

Adding Fonts Where?

What is the difference between the fonts located in Library>Fonts and System>Library>Fonts? (why are there two locations, and what's the difference?) I'd like to add some fonts that come up as missing when I load documents created in Classic but am unsure where they get added -- do they go in one of the above, or both?
Thanks!

Hi
System/Library/Fonts - Fonts vital to the OS, do not touch.
/Library/Fonts - Fonts that can be be used by all Users.
Users/shortname/Library/Fonts - Fonts that can be used by particular user i.e If user is Paul, only Paul can use those fonts. If he wants others to use them, he moves them to /Library/Fonts
I believe that 3rd one is where your fonts should go, but someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it better.
If you use Font Book to install your new fonts, it should put them in the correct place automatically.

Adding Fonts Changed Web Fonts

I added my fonts through Fontbook and when I opened up Firefox all the fonts were some strange font. I thought it was just firefox, but I openned up safari and it was the same strange font.
I want it to return to the original default font, but I can't figure out how to change the font.
Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it. Thanks.

Temporarily remove the fonts you added. You can add them back gradually to find the bad ones. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).
