Adobe Fonts Causing strange Issue

Out of the blue any of my installed Adobe fonts are causing me strange issues. I've even tried removing the fonts and reinstalling. Basically what is happen is when I change the font it changes certain characters to superscripts.
I've tried these same fonts in font managers, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and other software programs and they work perfectly. This just started happening last night when working with another Adobe font.
Did I accidently set something or how should I fix this?
Thanks

Could these be fake fonts? I have only downloaded free fonts from Font.com. I don't remember any of these names and they have only been here since I installed CS4. Plus the free fonts they offer are not Adobe and generally one typeface, and these have many. This is very strange.

Adobe Reader Causing Text Issue in IE11

When I type in IE11, after having opened Adobe Reader, all of the characters are numeric. They go from 0 to 9 and repeat. I have to reboot my computer for the problem to go away. Any thoughts?

Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

Embedding Adobe fonts in a folio: any issues?

Adobe's font licensing terms/faq don't seem to address embedding Adobe fonts in a DPS folio.
I'm assuming that folio-embedding terms will be the same as PDFs -- that is, fonts that are okay for print and preview embedding in a PDF are okay for folios, too.
Is there an official policy for folio embedding? Anyone have this issue come up already?
Thanks!

There's actually two issues here that need attention. If you're just outputting to default DPS folios then the pages become for all intents and purposes images so there's no real font-related issues. The more difficult area is if you're embedding your own html files that use Adobe fonts. I'd imagine things get more coplicated here.

Mac Media Keys Causing Adobe Fireworks Selection Tool Issues?

This issue has been driving me nuts. I've contacted Adobe support, but havn't recieved a response.
For some reason while using Adobe Fireworks CS5 the selection (pointer) tool no longer functions properly. It did at one point.
I have to hold down the mouse and pull the trap lines over any object to get it to select. Not very practicle when you have to select multiple items. All the other tools are working in a wonky manner as well.
I have tried reinstalling the program and running disk repair on my system. No resolve
I have read a ton of forums and users are mention programs like spotify that are causing the conflict. I dont have any of the know programs installed on my mac that people have mentioned.
I have also read that it is itunes media key functionality may be causing the issue?
I know this might be an Adobe issue, just thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has a resolve.
Thanks for your time.

Strange issue with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

I have a user who has a very strange issue. When she clicks the acrobat pro shortcut, adobe reader launches. The target path of the shortcut is correct and even when I drill down through C: and program files all the way to acrobat.exe, reader launches.
even running acrobat.exe from the runline launches reader instead of pro
any suggestions?

The other option is to go into the task list and disable AcroRd32.exe. One of the problems with both Reader and Acrobat being installed is that they leave a part resident for fast startup (I think this can be disabled). Thus Reader is likely sitting there partially open in the background and when you click on Acrobat, it sees Reader and opens there. You might check the startup list in MSCONFIG and see if you can disable AcroRd32, but once Reader is run it may leave it there again anyway.
It may be best to uninstall Reader, but you will likely have to repair AA8 Pro after the uninstall since the uninstall usually breaks the versions that are left.

InDesign CS5 crashing on launch due to font auto-activator issue

I was having a problem where all the jobs I had been collecting would no longer open in InDesign CS5 without crashing on startup. Just found out today it has to do with the new feature in CS5 that reads fonts from your "Document Fonts" folder. Once I renamed the folder the files started opening up just fine again. Is there a way to disable that feature in InDesign, or has anyone else found another workaround that doesn't involve renaming the folder on every job I collect?
I'm sure it's a known issue by now, but I didn't see anything come up when I did a search.

Same problem here. Whenever I want to open a packaged InDesign document which includes a Document Fonts folder containing some fonts which are identical to my system fonts (10.7.3 in my case) InDesign hangs. The best way to avoid these problems is to clean all system font folders and start managing fonts yourself. Check what fonts are needed for a certain document, avoid using fonts installed by the system. Although it is very generous from Apple, Adobe and Microsoft to give us a lot of fonts for free it is wise to manage them yourself. Check the following font locations:
~Library/Fonts
~System/Library/Fonts
~User/Library/Fonts (first make the Library visible: from within Terminal type the following command and press Return: chflags nohidden ~/Library)
Remove all fonts installed by Adobe (109 fonts) and Microsoft (154 fonts) to a differrent location. I manage them with FontExplorer 3.0 but you are ofcourse free to use any other font manager you prefer. Clear out any system font which is not needed by the system. Make sure the removed fonts can be enabled when needed. In FontExplorer you can create a set like 'Adobe CS5 Fonts' and put all Adobe fonts in there. This also counts for Apple system fonts which you remove. Create a new set in FontExplorer and call it OS Lion Fonts for example and move all fonts in there. I'd like to point out that I choose to manage fonts myself and I keep FontExplorer's capabilities to organaise fonts turned off (Preferences > Advanced > Organise font files). This way the Finder structure I use to manage my fonts (which is by foundry/designer) is maintained.
Clearing all unneeded fonts keeps the font list short and uncluttered which makes it easy to select fonts in InDesign or any other app. When you are designing things you want to make a selection of fonts you want to use in advance so keeping a lot of fonts available to the system is pointless in my opinion anyway.
Also, this process gets rid of a lot of fonts which you don't use/need like Chinese or whatever other language fonts. It shortens the font list dramatically. Setup font auto activation/deactivation so that fonts are disabled automatically after reboot or when you close a document to prevent the font list from growing out of proportions.
Below is the list of fonts which I keep installed/enabled by default in my ~System/Library/Fonts folder:
Apple Color Emoji.ttf
Apple Symbols.ttf
AppleGothic.ttf
Courier.dfont
Geneva.dfont
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Helvetica.dfont
HelveticaNeue.dfont
HelveticaNeueDeskUI.ttc
Keyboard.ttf
LastResort.ttf
LucidaGrande.ttc
MarkerFelt.ttc
Menlo.ttc
Monaco.dfont
Symbol.ttf
Times LT MM
Times.dfont
TimesLTMM
ZapfDingbats.ttf
I haven't checked Times yet but I think it can be disabled. If you think Times is causing problems and you rather want to activate it yourself when it is needed or you want to use it you can remove it from the ~System/Library/Fonts folder. Drag the font to the desktop to make a copy first. Next trash the font file. Enter your admin password end you're done. If a font is needed by the system it gets restored automatically and you get a notification like "The system font 'HelveticaNeue.dfont' had been restored. This font was removed. Mac OS X needs this font to display text onscreen."
If you don't use FontExplorer you can use Onyx to clean font caches when you are done clearing out unwanted fonts. Always reboot afterwards.
Hope this helps.

Recent Reinstall causing interesting Issue. Can anyone give me and answer??

Firstly here's my basic machine profile:
iBook G4
1.33Ghz Processor
512MB RAM (256 Wired, 256 In spare DIMM slot)
60GB HD (7200Rpm)
Mac OS X Tiger
External Display
I've recently had to reinstall my system due to a system wide error created by the classic desktop.
This error was causing my Automator actions to freeze my computer, the machine was also freezing randomly during different parts of the user login process (this happened on all accounts.
Initially I did an Archive and Install, I wanted to keep my user setting and files. This would work for about an hour and then certain things would hang the system, specifically:
(from what I tried) Opening windows too quickly (as the desktop was logging in). I was trying to get to Disk Utility.
Using Menus (trying to get to System Preferences).
I had been using the machine quite merrily for over a year, then one night I was running old software in Classic, this froze the machine.
I restarted the machine, Logged in (the machine still worked); I opened Classic preferences and clicked rebuild desktop (it says that this may fix software that's not running well in clasic.), this froze thye machine.
I restarted and this is when everthing went HAYWIRE!!!
That is how the machine came to be as it was.
After following the assistance from Apple's phone support I rebooted the machine holding shift, this gave me "Safe Boot" and I was able to save my work. The tech support also told me that my problem sounded like a system wide issue and that I should back up my data and zero-out the disk. This worked.
I reinstalled Tiger and got the most recent updates from Apple. The Machine is running beautifully now.
now.
The issue I bring forth is that I was using a system hack called "Screen Spanning Doctor", a hack that give iBook and iMac users the ability to turn off screen mirroring, It helped me greatly.
Now this should have been a software hack should it not? Because after reinstalling the system (from a Tiger DVD), the feature to span screens has remained... I don't understand how this is possible though
All comments are welcome, I hope someone can answer this strange issue for me.
regards,
Pete.

Hi Peter...
Try reading MacFixIt about tips of reinstalling OS after a system-wide failure:
http://www.macfixit.com/
One tip about Archive & Install is to uncheck "preserving (old) users internet settings" etc, that may bring any corrupted or unstable system files over, the key here is to start from a fresh new stable OS.
Did you also inadvertently migrate over the hack that you have mentioned? If it is software based, it should not be functioning when you perform the A&I method.
Since you have back up all your important data, your "last resort", and probably the "best garanteed way" of ensuring a new stable fresh OS, is to erase, reformat the drive and install from scratch.
Cheers

Error message is not telling which field causing the issue!

Hello
I am developing the Adobe Interactive Form and launching this form from WebDynPro ABAP application, fine.
This form has tonns of dropdown fields, mandatory fields, greyed out fields. Fine.
I am filling the list the drop-down fields from webdynpro ABAP, but, i am filling list for only 80% of the drop-down fields, rest 20 % is not filling at all (bcz, business want to have those 20% dropd-owns on the form by thinking going further they require, this moment they dont need so they dont want to fill the lists)
Now the form is launching on the browser, fine. But when user submits it i am getting the below erro:
The Entered Value Is Not on the List of Valid Values. (I am guessing this error is talking about the DROPDOWN fields only)
I hv tonns of drop-down fields, so, its very difficult for me to go and trace each and every drop-down fielld!! But, i checked all the populated/entered values in the drop-down fields, they are all fine. Sone dropd-down fields are GREYED OUT, they are defaulted from webdynpro ABAP
Pls. let me know How can know which field/drop-down is causing this issue? Wht are the possible causes for this error? Error is not telling which fields is making issue?
How can i trace and how can i fix it, pls. let me know
Thank you

Thank you for your tips.
But, as of my knowledge every thing (case sensitive, list box entries) are fine, not sure, why am getting this error! I will double chk again.
But, thing is.... actually, i have 4 pages, depending on the logged in user, i will HIDE the pages (say, for me the 3 rd page will be hidden), i am hiding the pages by using JavaScript in the form.
So, this error is not coming if i execute/launch all the 4 pages, but, its coming if i hide any page for any user!!
By chance, do we debug to figure out which FIELD is CAUSING issue/this error?
From where this message is coming, i mean, from the SAP's JAVA stack? Wht is the message ID and #?
or is it Adobe's/Form's error?
Thank you

Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

Files transferred to external HD end up in trash - very strange issue

Hi,
I seem to be having a very strange issue, hopefully somebody can help or has seen this before.
Hardware: MacBook Air, Western Digital Passport external HD, 250gb, formatted NTFS.
Software: OSX 10.7 Lion, Paragon (allows me to write to an NTFS formatted HD)
Issue Summary: I copy something to the external HD; I empty trash; the file I copied is deleted from the external HD. It doesn't happen every time.
I do also seem to have a persistent folder in trash called "WD Sync Data" that won't go away unless I re-delete it as it's also in the root of the drive. Not sure if this is related somehow.
Recently I copied 3 video files inside a folder to the HD, then disconnected the HD. When I reconnected it a while later and noticed that inside the "WD Sync Data" folder in trash were the 3 files I'd copied. I then looked inside the same folder on the root of the drive and the files were there, instead of inside the folder that I'd copied to the drive, which had vanished. If I hadn't noticed and had emptied the trash, those files would've been deleted.
It's definitely happened more than once; last time I actually deleted the files from my computer after copying, then emptied trash, and they were gone from the external HD also.
I've only found one person who seemed to be experiencing a similar problem back in 2010. It sounds similar though it could've been user error: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/188224-weird-external-hard-driv e-trash-problem-help-please.html
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

Quick update: I ran a verify then a repair in Disk Utility as there were a couple of errors. Hopefully this has solved the issue, however it'd still be interesting to know if anyone's come across this before and what caused it?

Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

Hi,
I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
Thanks in Advance,
-Ajay

OK. That's what I thought.
So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images. I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations. Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?
