Adobe Illustrator Font AdobePiStd not found

I am using the programming language R to generate .eps files.
For some reason Adobe Illustrator gets confused between Zapf Dingbats and AdobePiStd.
When I open the file I get the following error:
The font AdobePiStd is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
There is a workaround for this problem described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9992275/ggplot2-pdf-import-in-adobe-illustrator-missing -font-adobepistd
Unfortunately, I cannot find the AdobePiStd font within creative cloud, and with Adobe Illustrator CS the workaround they describe cannot be followed. When you click on Type->Find Font the AdobePiStd has already been removed from the list of fonts.
InDesign correctly sees this font as Zapf Dingbats, but doesn't allow me to change the font and will not export to .pdf with the missing font.

Moving your post to the Illustrator forum.

"Font.properties not found" error when runInstaller in Suse 7.3 + 9iDB_R2

when I try to install 9iDB_R2 in Suse 7.3, the runInstaller have this error:
" Font specified in font.properties not found [--Symbol -medium -r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] "
the [Next] button in the installer does not response, but the [Deinstall Products] and [About Oracle Universal Installer] has response and display what normally does.
I installed almost everything except games and multimedia when installing Suse 7.3
What is the possible reason?

I am not sure that I can help you much, but it sounds like a Java install error. The installer uses the JVM to do the install. Do you have any other Java virtual machines loaded on the machine.
If you do a java -version
what shows up? I kinda hope that nothing shows up or at worst case is is jdk.1.3.1
This may be what is causing the problem. Also I believe that there was suppose to be system variables set in the shell you are installing from. Are those set? It has been a while since I installed 9i on RedHat.

Hi,
I developped a graphical interface that has to be run on a Linux Station. The problem is that I get the following error message when I want to run it: "Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]"
Does someone have an idea ?
Thanks in advance, Fred.

This message gets printed around 3 dozen times on the screen every time I start a Swing app with JDK 1.3 on SuSE Linux 7.3.
With J2SDK 1.4 this does not happen and the main font being used in the app is different.
How do I solve this bug in JDK 1.3?

How did you solve this? Could you please share your secret. I am facing the same problem on Solaris and would love to find a solution.

Java for Mac OS X v10.6 Update 17

For xml reports in ebs, if default font is not found, what does OPP do?

If the OPP is unable to locate a font file while merging an XML report in EBS R12.1.3 running on AIX (BI Version 5.6.3), what does it do? Is there a default set somewhere, and if so, can it be changed? Can it be changed only at the site level, or at the indvidual template level? Is there just one default or can you specify a different default for each font? Is there anyway to force the merge to error if the requested font is not found?

it's very difficult to say
you can seek some MOS for specific problem

When going from a Mac-based Ai to a PC based Ai, the documents "Font" are not found on the PC version? (mostly Helvetica) where and how do I get those Fonts? And/or, can I use the Mac version of these Fonts?

Thanks, Rich

In order to be cross platform you must be using the Open Type version of all fonts to cause the least disruption. Macs can read and process the Windows .ttf type format but PCs can't process Mac formatted type. Most recent versions also cannot use the older PS Type 1 fonts.

Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on.

Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on. This severely strains my workflow and makes it incredibly hard to add the image after it is exported to the desktop Illustrator. Is this being fixed??

This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
Thank you,

Adobe Acrobat Distiller Process. Issue with Font(L0420P not found, using courier)

Hi Everybody,
We are working for upgrade activities, which involves moving applications from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 Servers.
My applications uses Adobe Acrobat distiller, which is also getting upgraded along with the server from Adobe 4.0 to 5.0 (Installed licensed Adobe distiller).
I have been using Adobe distiller to convert .PS files into .PDF files. The conversion process requires the PSFonts such as (MB006, L0B, L0420P etc..), each font got a separate PFB and PFM extension files, which are kept in the folder name called "Psfonts" and has been included in "Font location" under Distiller settings.
Using Distiller( Adobe Acrobat distiller 4.0 ) in Windows 2000 didn't create any issues or error while converting .PS files into .PDF files, all the PDF files are generated by Distiller as expected and process without any Font issues.
In Windows Server 2003, I installed Adobe Acrobat distiller 5.0 and moved the Font Folder "Psfonts" from older server(Windows 2000 server) to the new server(Windows 2003) and started Adobe Acrobat distiller process(5.0) to convert .PS to .PDF, most of the .PS files gets converted into .PDF files but when .PS files which require the Font L0420P comes in for Distilling, it displays an error message as "L0420P not found, using courier".
I checked with the old Server's (Windows 2000) font folder (Psfonts), it has the same files(PFB and PFM) as present in the new Server(Windows 2003).
I tried to check the Particular Font name(L0420P) in Distiller-->Setting-->Job options-->Font-->Embedding-->Psfonts, but L0420P font alone is missing in the List.
Could you please help in resolving this Font issue.

You may like to try deleting the PsFonts entry from distiller and closing it. Restart the machine, make the entry of PSFonts agina and try creating PDF.

Can I use adobe illustrator fonts for commercial purposes?

Hi,
I have purchased adobe illustrator CS4. Does this mean I can use any of the fonts installed in the program for commercial purposes?
I am currently doing a t-shirt design and want to use the font Verdana in the design. I plan to reprint and sell this t-shirt indefinitely.
Is this legal?
Kay.

you can use the fonts you can even send the fonts to the printer you can certainly use them on the web, when you send the font it is usually only for the convenience of not having the Print House load the fonts, but since most font hoses have illustrator it is not a problem they have the fonts as well.
They only keep the fonts with your job if you send it. For instance if you send them a project with a font that is part of their font library hen they will ask you to send them even if another client has or is using that font. if they get 10 or so instance were the same font shows up and they think it is a trend they buy the font as a convenience for their customers.You can not distribute the fonts to other user not even free fonts.
But sending it part of the job is fine, printers have no interest starting up with the large foundry houses and they understand the copyright laws and would put themselves in a bad light if they broke this ethic so it is not going to happen for $30.00 for a font.
You are fine you bought Illustrator and so you have a license for them.
One difference between the fonts you get from Illustrator and and the ones you purchase is that the ones you purchase are allowed to be installed on five machines usually and the fonts that are included with Illustrator can only be installed with the copy of Illustrator, technically that means two machines.
But the way it works since you can install the same Illustrator on as many machines as you want but can only activate it on two an use on one of those two at any one time it is possible that you would be in violation of your license since the fonts do not need Adobe activation to be available for other applications.
So it you're doing that then you're a felon buddy!

OLE embedded Adobe Illustrator Artwork files not rendering properly

I'm using BroadVision's Quicksilver. I've attempted to embed AI Artwork
files as OLE objects (linked and not linked), but they don't render within
Quicksilver. After working with their support team, they came to the
conclusion that it was an Adobe Illustrator issue because they were
able to reproduce the issue in Wordpad (not MS Word).
The problem can be reproduced by the following steps (tested in Vista,
XP, & Server 2008):
:- Open Wordpad
:- Click Insert -> Object -> Create From File -> Browse -> Find and select a file -> Open
Other variations on this theme encounter the same problem, including
pasting it from the clipboard.
If you open a Wordpad document in MS Word and embed the OLE
object, it saves a preview of the image which is visible from Wordpad
if you open it later on (as long as you don't link to the original; if you do,
and attempt to update the link, the preview image will go away). However,
subsequent alterations of the OLE object don't show up in Wordpad -- rather,
the image that was rendered in Word continues to be displayed (unless, of
course, you open it in MS Word again and re-save after the link is updated).
It appears the support team at another company encountered a user
experiencing the same or similar issues with their product, but on
Illustrator CS2 as opposed to CS4:
http://www.graphpad.com/faq/viewfaq.cfm?faq=1309
Unfortunately, the "export to another format" workaround won't suffice.
We're working with thousands of Illustrator artwork files that need to be
version controlled, and other technical documents will link to the same
Illustrator file. When an AI file is updated, all technical documents
need to use the altered version; linking to an exported version of the
file just creates one more link in the chain that can create problems
or confusion.
Even if the version control stuff wasn't an issue, exporting to other
formats seems rather limited. If we export to other formats (eg, pdf)
the images render poorly compared to what they look like in AI.
We've tried a number of things to work around this:
* Make sure AI [is/is not] already running
* Rasterize paths
* Alter the size of the image in AI
* Alter the size of the object in the target application
* 'Save as' with a different version of AI selected (for all versions)
* Saving as an EPS or PDF -- the former has the same rendering issue
as AI files; the latter renders but the drawing is blocky, probably because
the graphics are being rendered at a very low resolution and scaled up
after the fact.
* Looking for or changing preferences in Illustrator that might affect it
* Altering color scheme and various other similar settings
* CS5 trial version -- same problem as CS4
* Save the [wordpad] document -> close -> re-open
* Switching between 'display as icon' and displaying the image
* Copy & paste from various sources (from AI -> Wordpad,
MS Word -> Wordpad, etc)
The only way I can get it to render in Wordpad (or quicksilver for that matter)
is if I embed the AI file in a Word/RTF document, then embed that in
the target application (which is awfully convoluted). Furthermore, if the
embedded Word/RTF file links to the original file, when you open the
document containing the embedded Word/RTF it doesn't attempt to
update from the linked AI file, just the linked Word/RTF file.
I'm sure there's other things we've tried to resolve this, but that's what comes
to mind right now.
If anyone can help with this, or clue me in that it's a bug in AI, I'd sincerely
appreciate it.

Well, no offense
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
None taken. I'm helping someone else solve a technical problem, I'm just not questioning their approach; I'm not a tech writer, so I'll pass your suggestions on.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
(...) you are trying to solve one hell of a crooked workflow on the wrong end and the one fatal flaw being that you insist on using an office tool to create layouts and expecting it to render print-ready documents. That just cannot work. Even the most stubborn tech writers I occasionally work with, recognize the need for eventually firing this at InDesign/ InCopy/ Framemaker and associated server versions and fuse the imported RTF/ Word documents and illustrations based on template layouts, scripting and rule-based formatting, which can all happen automnatically on a server with the respective software.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I was mistaken when I described how things are version controlled. They would prefer to embed the AI images in each document and have each document be version controlled (that is, if the image changes it should /not/ affect other documents).
However, I wasn't mistaken when I said there are thousands of already developed AI images. The team working with these images has already procured a volume license for Framemaker and is hesitant to purchase other software unless there's no alternative, or the time savings would justify it. I wish I could comment on the efficacy of your suggestion, but I'm not a tech writer; I'm unfamiliar with InDesign, InCopy, and FrameMaker.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
So for what it's worth, you are probably wasting your time and resources on something that by its nature starts out with a limited process. I'm not even sure if AI fully supports OLE. I seem to remember having read about it not supporting several features and commands....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If we export to other formats (eg, pdf) the images render poorly compared to what they look like in AI.
What do you mean? If they look "bad" in Acrobat or something, then you are simply using the wrong export settings. which is perfectly fixable.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
In Acrobat the SV graphics look beautiful at any scale, but if the PDF is OLE embedded in another application it looks terrible.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If they look "bad" within your word documents, then we pretty much return to what I said in the first paragraph - there's a good chance it's simply Word rendering the artwork poorly due to its limited abilities of dealing with graphics of any kind. I would even think that manually changing the graphics properties would improve appearance then....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I'm not an expert on OLE; I made the [potentially bad] assumption that Acrobat would be responsible for rendering the graphic when a PDF is OLE embedded, so the application making use of the object would have limited control over the quality of the image it receives (if my assumption were correct anyway).
I know the host process can specify whether the image is rendered as an EMF or WMF image, otherwise I know very little about the OLE API and what limitations the host process can impose.
I'll keep tinkering to see if the PDF solution can be made to work.
In the meantime, would anyone like to make a determination as to whether this is a real bug in AI or not?

Adobe Illustrator file will not display correctly when logged in as a user

I am working with an Adobe Illustrator CS2 file that will open and display correctly if I log in as Administrator, but will not display correctly if I am logged on as a user. The error message is that there is not enough memory to display the file correctly and I am forced into preview mode. The user Home folder is on a server. Other than this, I have made certain that the criteria for opening the file match under both interfaces. I have opened the AI CS2 file on other Macs and it opens fine. I conclude that the problem is with the user Home folder, but beyond that, I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

After I filed a bug-report an Apple engineer contacted me, and asked me to try running java in headless mode: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/headless/
That solved the problem!

Adobe Illustrator CS6 will not open.

I have a problem: the illustrator app will not open. I get the pop-up: To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click "More Info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.
Both clicking "More Info..." and "OK" only make the pop-up disappear, but lead absolutely nowhere.
From Oracle.com I have already downloaded and installed 'jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg'. After install and restart i keep getting the same pop-up as before and i still can't open Ai. Any advice?
MBP 5,5 13 inch, Yosemite

hi,
I updated from mavericks to Yosemite today which was a very bad idea. I had issues with my internal sound adapter and the system start is now very slow. I might going back to mavericks..
However, I wish the above link you gave here would work. After clicking the blue download button nothing happens. Any other idea how I could go back from my actual java 8-31 back to java 6?
Thanks, H
