Adobe Open and Type 1 Fonts in XP/SP3 plus updates & CS3

Since applying the latest Microsoft updates to XP/SP3 last week I can now no longer add Open Type 1 or Type 1 fonts to Fonts in Windows, and therefore can't add more fonts for use in Photoshop CS3. I tried a new harddrive, reloaded with XP/SP3 plus updates and the exact same thing occurs. Any of those types of fonts I try to add come up as corrupt/can't load, when in fact they are not corrupt and the exact same font files load with no problem in another XP/SP3 machine that hasn't had the updates applied, and they also load without a hitch in a Vista machine. Anyone else, who has all the updates installed noticing this? Anyone have a solution? I know that this isn't exactly 100% related to Photoshop only, but it does affect the program. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated................frank

This problem is now solved. Microsoft updated the video driver for my video card, and it was obviously the wrong one. It took two days and a lot of work to discover what had caused the problem, but at least the story has happy ending. Now, back to Photoshop! :)

How do I make PFM and Type 1 fonts available for my document?

I am trying to work with a document in InDesign. There are some PFM and Type 1 fonts in the document that can't be found. I have them in a folder on my computer but don't know how to make them available. I downloaded Adobe Type Manager Light, but am running Windows 7 SP1 and the exe file doesn't work. I also watched a tutorial about fonts, but can't find the folder that the person was talking about in the video. Can someone help me?

Hopefully you have not damaged Windows by trying to install ATM. Windows 7 has native T1 type support built in.
To make them available in Windows, Presuming they are actually Windows format fonts, you would right-click the font and choose Install Font, or CS6 or CC you can put them in a folder named Document Fonts in the same directory as the .indd file, and they will be availble to that file alone.
Note that Mac format fonts are completley useless on Windows. They're easy to spot, though -- they'll show a file size of 0 bytes in Explorer.

Windows XP 64 and Type 1 Fonts, CS3?

We have recently upgraded to CS5 and have installed Windows XP 64 on our graphics departments computers. They had previously had the 32 bit version of Windows installed and had no problems with Type 1 fonts. We have CS3 and CS5 installed until everyone has been upgraded to CS5. They are unable to see the Type 1 fonts when using CS3 but can see them in CS5 and other programs.
Does anyone know if I there is a fix to allow the fonts to be used in CS3?
Thanks,
Eric

(1)     Adobe does not officially support Windows XP 64-bit with any of its applications. XP 64-bit was more of an experiment for Microsoft than a real operating environment. Vista 64-bit was the first reliable 64-bit desktop version of Windows supported by Adobe. At this point, we most strongly recommend that you immediately move to Windows 7 64-bit which is fully supported by Adobe.
(2)     There is no fix for the problem you encountered. The workaround is to put the Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite's private font directory.

Urgent – QuarKXpress 8 and Type 1 Font Problem Under 10.6

Hi,
I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6 with QuarkXpress 8.1.6. on a Mac Pro.
When I open a document created in QuarkXpress 7.5 in QuarkXpress 8.1.6, some of the text is not flush with the top of its text box. It seems to have moved down by a millimetre or two. Also, when I copy text boxes that appear to be correct and paste them into a new page layout, the same problem occurs, where the text again appears to have moved down within its text box. Some older files created in QuarkXpress 6.5 seem to open okay.
*The QuarkXpress known issues page says the following: Mac OS 10.6 only – Due to a change in Apple's APIs, text that uses Type 1 fonts may display increased vertical spacing when you open a project in Snow Leopard.*
I've spoken to Quark's technical support team who have advised me to update my OS to version 10.6.3. to see if this corrects the problem.
Does anyone have the same issues and will updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3 correct the problem? If not, I'm in a bit of a predicament.
As usual, any advice would be great – thanks!

Caveat to this post:
I don't use Quark, but I'd believe the author's own suggestions.
That said, before upgrading to 10.6.3, consider that you may not have full compatibility with 10.6.3 in other software. You may want to make a test bootable hard drive with just Quark on it, to see if it solves your problem and then check to see if all your other essential applications and drivers run as expected. Quark has its own forums here:
http://forums.quark.com/
Where I'd ask the questions to see what other users have been using to fix the issue.

PDFXML and Type 3 fonts

Is there any known issue with creating PDFXML from PDFs that use Type 3 fonts? In some instances the conversion fails with the message "The file contains Type 3 fonts which are not converted to Mars format correctly."
Any idea if this is an expected problem?
Regards
Ian

Hmm, this cannot be, as this is legacy material from 1997. There is no way that this can be changed using Type 1 or OTF fonts other than retypesetting everything from scratch, I fear, and that will be just too much expensive work. Interestingly, Acrobat Reader 8 and the latest Adobe Digital Editions display these PDFs correctly, so I have no alternative other than assume that the changes in the font rendering mechanism in Reader 9 are responsible for this. I am checking these files with Acrobat 9 Professional shortly...

You cannot install fonts or other keyboards on the iPad. You can make suggestions to Apple here.

Can I get some help please.

If you are having problems with apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, whilst the Apple built-in apps are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
What happens with your credit card ? If you are getting a message about the security code then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

How do I save PSD files created in windows so MAC users can open and work

I have been designing photoshop files for sale to photographers online and all of my work has been created in a windows 7 system. I had a photographer contact me saying that the PSD was trouble to open and that the fonts would not work on his MAC computer.
Can someone supply me with information on creating/saving windows PSD files so that a MAC user can open them and also use the fonts I supply with the files.
The files I create are multilayered PSD's and contain fonts for windows PC use and I don't want to exclude MAC users from utilizing my work.
Any help appriciated.

Just save. There is no difference in files between platforms.
There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts and Windows 7

I have a disk with Adobe Postscript Type 1 fonts ("Adobe Type Basics" that I purchased in 2001). The disk includes an install program that does not work on my current computer (Windows 7, 64). Can I get those fonts installed on my current computer, and if so, how do I do it. Step by step, please. Many thanks.

Although we at Adobe certainly do recommend use of OpenType font technology going forward and especially for new publishing projects for any number of very good reasons, Adobe does continue to fully support Type 1 fonts (FWIW, TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much PostScript fonts as Type 1 or Type 3 fonts are) in all our applications as well as in our Adobe PostScript and Adobe PDF Print Engine products and has committed to do so for the indefinite future.
In fact, Adobe still does license and ship Type 1 fonts in fairly high quantities. Every printer sold with Adobe PostScript 3 by Adobe's OEM partners such as Xerox, Ricoh, Canon, Océ, EFI, etc. is accompanied with host software that includes the Windows and Macintosh host versions of all the Type 1 fonts that are also printer resident.
Actually, the problem that the OP of this thread was experiencing is that apparently, the Adobe Type Basics was built without the .pfm files that normally were shipped with all Adobe type packages for Windows. When ATM was required for installation of those fonts, since ATM had the capability of building .pfm files on-the-fly, this omission wasn't noticed at the time by most users (even I wasn't aware of it until today). Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with those fonts and there was nothing about them that was “showing their age.”
Unfortunately, the Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition is not a superset of the fonts in the original Adobe Type Basics product. Many of the font families of the original product were replaced by totally different font families. Updating to the OpenType-based product would not have solved the OP's problem without possibly needing to license a whole bunch of additional font families individually, possibly costing more than the $99 for the Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition itself. For existing content (including templates and artwork), it is not simple to move from Type 1 to OpenType without going through existing content and globally changing all font references. The OpenType versions of Adobe's font do not have the same names as the Type 1 versions - this was not an oversight, but done for good reason since there are differences between the products in encoding and metrics that could in some cases cause layout issues.

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

Hello ducky,
as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
