Adobe Type 1 applied font error

Hi,
I am having a problem with Adobe Type 1 fonts in Indesign CS3 and 5 when applying via a vb.net app on Windows Xp/7 that I am developing.
I can select the font in the Indesign app and apply to type, no problem.
When applying via my vb.net app it fails and says the font family doesn't exist. I am applying the font to a paragraph as in line below:
myParagraph.AppliedFont = "Helvetica Neue"
Works on OpenType and TrueType fonts without any issues. Problem occurs whether using Extensis Suitcase font manager or with it disabled.
Haven't seen any other posts regarding this issue so not sure where the problem lies.
I have obtained the font names from the Indesign font list too so are the exact names that appear in the font/style menus.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Darren

Check if the font name is avail in the indesign applicatio.
for (var i=0; i<app.fonts.length; i++)
$.writeln(app.fonts.item(i).name);
If the font name is avail in the application means the above given code will works. otherwise the font is not availabel so you need to install the fonts in application.

Adobe Type 1 Font is not compatible with Windows 8 64bit?

I found that Adobe Type 1 fonts are not compatible with applications that run on Windows 8 64bit. When used, the appearance of fonts on the screen is not correct. Even worse, the font does not appear at all in the CorelDRAW X6. Strangely, when printed, the fonts were no problems. How can I make these fonts can be used in Windows 8 64bit? For additional information, these fonts appear normally when reviewed through the Windows Fonts folder, but does not display correctly when used in the application.

I believe I have a similar issue. I do have the latest Windows updates.
I'm on a new Win8 system, and I installed my Adobe type collection (bought years ago with ATM) by copying the .pfm and .pfb files to Windows\Fonts (there's no right-click > install for fonts on Win8 it seems; copying the font files to the font directory is what I've read as the install procedure.)
Windows then shows an error about .pfb incompatibility, so I selected "skip" for those files.
The result is that my fonts are installed and usable BUT this really screws up IE10 for certain websites. For example, I get blank pages for sites like wordpress.org and validator.w3.org. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix this other than doing a system restore to a point before the fonts were installed. Removing the font files from the Windows\Font directory doesn't help. I don't use IE10 with any regularity but I need it to work for testing purposes.
Is there a way to install these fonts? Is there a way to uninstall them (other than a system restore) if they affect IE10?
It's really hard to install on a one-by-one basis as need arises because I can't tell what the font names are from the file names. There's no application, like a type viewer, that will show me the fonts if I double click the file. (I just ran into this now... I need to use a Garamond type face but have no idea which one it is by looking at the .pfm and .pfb files.)
I would consider buying Font Folio if this is the answer but it's only available for a minimum of 5 licenses? I'm a freelancer and only need one licence.
Should I just use an online tool to convert my .pfm/.pfb files to an OpenType or similar format?
Thank you in advance!

Installing Adobe Type 1 Fonts on Solaris

We want to install ocra fonts on a workstation running Solaris 10. Currently the fonts are installed in a Solaris 8 server in:
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
On the workstation, we ftp'd the files from the server to /tmp on the workstation. We ran /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontadm and tried to use it to install the fonts. When you select install, 'Go To' /tmp and click 'Choose,'
we get a segmentation core dump. We have called this into Sun as a separate issue.
So we tried the manual way as described in IDAutomation.com (Installing Fonts on UNIX for Oracle Reports) and Oracle (Doc ID: 171464.1)
Both are pretty much the same. The following are the instructions:
1) copy ocra.pfa to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/outline
2) chown root:bin; chmod 644
3) Create a link of the file to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
4) Edit fonts.scale and add 1 to the number on top of the file.
5) add the following line:
ocra-pfa -adobe-ocra-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
6) Run: /usr/openwin/bin/mkfontdir
7) Run: /usr/openwin/bin/xset fp rehash
8) Verify the font installation using /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontadm
When we run step 8, the font is there but the example tesxt is not OCR but courier.
We tried reformatting the workstation (due to the core dump) and setting it up to default to en_iso8859-1.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!
Frank

Windows Type 1 fonts each consist of two files, a .pfb file containing the font itself and a .pfm file containing extended font metrics used for formatting text on the host computer. If you don't have both files for a particular font, the font is uninstallable and unusable. To install a Type 1 font on a Windows system, the .pfb and .pfm for the font should be in the same directory. Right click on the font and click on Install or Install as shortcut. Install copies the two files to the \Windows\Fonts directory and subsequently uses the font from that location. Install as shortcut uses the font from the location the files are currently located in with the caveat that you must keep those files in that location or else the fonts will no longer be accessible.
If you actually attempted to install Adobe Type Manager on 32-bit Windows 7 (or later) system, you may have destroyed your system's ability to properly install and use Type 1 fonts at all. If this has happened, you may need to reinstall Windows! (If I recall correctly, the installer for ATM refuses to run at all on Windows 64-bit versions, sparing you the destruction of your Type 1 rendering!)

Acrobat 9 goes blind to Type 1 fonts after ATM 4.1 install?

Acrobat's touch up tool has become unable to handle all Type I fonts, unless I uninstall and then reinstall the fonts in the current Windows session. I'm referring to use of the Touch up Text tool. It still does fine with TT fonts, but any attempt to touch up or add typing of an Adobe Type 1 font produces just small dots.
The problem started after I (probably unwisely) installed my old copy of ATM 4.1 on my Windows Vista System. Seeing that ATM didn't seem to work under Vista, I uninstalled ATM. However, after that, Acrobat 9.0 seems incabable of editing type 1 fonts, unless I ununstall the specific fonts I want to use in the editing, and then reinstall them. It works fine thereafter, until I shut down the computer and start again. By installing ATM did I damage Acrobat's ability to recognize Type I fonts?
The problem does not occur with any other CS 4 products.

Michael,
Thank you very much for the fast response and directons to the patch! The patch seems to have fixed the problem. That was a long-running annoyance.
Best regards,
Marty

Opening Adobe AI file shows fonts error "font problem....Gen.Arial and Gen.Arial.Bold".

Currently I have Adobe AI files that generate "Font Problem" message when they are opened.
The error specific as follow:
Gen.Arial: Font not found on the system: missing font has been substituted.
Gen.Arial.Bold: Font not found on the system: missing font has been substituted.
HelveticaNeue-Condensed: Font not found on the system: missing font has been substituted.
The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified.
I continue with opening the file and everything else looks ok. I have tried searching for the fonts but could not locate. I even performed Type>Find Font and replaced all missing fonts and still get the above error when re-opening the file.
Not sure how to resolve this issue.
Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the help....if it is not too much to ask can you please give the step you applied to troubelshoot? I am on the IT side and helping the user who is working with the AI files.
If I am not mistaken the charts might have been copied from other programs and maybe led to this issue. Not sure about a redo since there many more files with same problem. Is it possible to apply fix to each file and then save?
Thanks.

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! :)

Font licensing and EULA: Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition

Hi all,
I'm not necesarilly working with graphic design daily. However, I may have to replicate a design for a publication that uses Adobe Garamond Pro, which is why I got interested in Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition.
However, before I shell out the cash, I'd like to ask a few questions about related EULA's and font licensing issues - as the last thing I want to do is buy something, and then end up sued/financially destroyed/imprisoned anyways. (which is why I prefer with open fonts & software - at least no worries about prison, in case of misunderstanding the legalese)
So, here are the questions:
I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose? Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.
Macintosh can use OpenType, Mac Type1, Mac TrueType, and Win TrueType. Adobe products can read some Windows Type 1 fonts if installed in the correct folder.
Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.... so just to make sure: I would definitely download the OpenType if I buy from the above Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition link, right?
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it. Thus, I'd be interested in re-donwloading the Adobe Type Basics package. So is this package a zip file or similar, if so - how big is it? Can I download the file multiple times after purchase? Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
I may have to do (in a role of page layouter for an academic institution) a document for a relatively big academic publisher (Springer); and I have little idea about how font licensing works there. Let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the publisher for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? I'm worried because I found in Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:As I understand it, print service providers are required by the font EULA to own the font even though the customer provides it.
I suggest you ask your customer to purchase the modern OpenType versions of the fonts. ... but then, Springer are "publishers", not "printers"? How worried should I be about this? Should I ask for confirmation in writing from them, that they own the particular embedded font? Then again, since in this case I'd be working for an academic institution as page layouter, should the academic institution also buy the font? If the academic institution already owns the font, am I legally obliged to own it as a page layouter (even if I'd use that font on the institutions computers with licensed fonts on them)? I'm pretty sure I'd be legally obliged to own it if I intend to prepare the layout on my own computer, is that correct?
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above). So, in this case, again the same situation: let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
Other neat related links I found:
Adobe Forums: Font EULA Question Re: Selling Logos;
Adobe Forums: font liscensing: upgrading from print to digital ...
Well, I believe this is all I have for asking (for now) - thanks in advance for any answers!

I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose?
Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.
Macintosh can use OpenType, Mac Type1, Mac TrueType, and Win TrueType. Adobe products can read some Windows Type 1 fonts if installed in the correct folder.
If you want Adobe Type Basics OpenType edition, then the fonts support multiple platforms. OpenType fonts work on Mac, Win and Linux systems.
Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.... so just to make sure: I would definitely download the OpenType if I buy from the above Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition link, right?
Yes, the Adobe Type Basics Open Type Edition would provide you with OpenType versions of the fonts. Sorry that we don’t offer all the different fonts, font families and variations on CD-ROM, but it would be cost-prohibitive to make all those versions, and font software is relatively small compared to application software. That said, Our font EULA (End User License Agreement) which can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/pdfs/wf_EULA071111/EULA5seat_USEnglish07.11.11.htm l states: “2.5 Backup Copy. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.” So you can make your own CD-ROM.
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it. Thus, I'd be interested in re-donwloading the Adobe Type Basics package. So is this package a zip file or similar, if so - how big is it? Can I download the file multiple times after purchase? Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
The file format is OpenType (CFF). I would recommend making a backup copy of these fonts if you don’t want to keep them on your system. Our Electronic Software Download service is not meant to be used for storage.

Wow! Lots of questions here. First of all, publishers publish. Printing is just one form of publishing. Embedding information for Adobe fonts can be found at the following:
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/additional_licenses.html
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/info/embedding.html
If you send a file to a print service provider and send a copy of the font along as well, then the printer needs to own a valid copy themselves. If you send the print service provider a PDF version of the file, then you can embed the font in the PDF (but you would not send the a raw version of the font). In this case, the printer doesn’t need the font, because it is embedded in the document.
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
If you buy a license for Adobe Garamond Pro, you have up to 5 seats. So, it can be installed on a maximum of five computers at your company. It is that simple to be in compliance. If you were to obtain Adobe Garamond Pro by purchasing Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition, then you can install the entire set on up to five computers at your company. You are licensing the set, and the fonts cannot be split up and used across multiple users at your company.
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above). So, in this case, again the same situation: let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
Yes. It is legal to send the document to a print service provider with the font embedded in PDF. You are printing a document, and your interpretation of what it means to “publish” or be a “publisher” is not relevant. The words don’t even appear in our EULA.

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:- ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

(1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
(2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
(3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN font file extension not showing

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer.
I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever.
I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:- ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even attempting to install it may corrupt your operating system installation and its ability to properly render Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The last version of Windows for which ATM was at all compatible was Windows XP, 32-bit only!
Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, even Type 1 fonts, on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the font file for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the .PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the Install option.
The font file you are trying to install is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.

Using Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts on Lion/MacBook Pro

I recently upgraded from a 5-year-old MacBook using Snow Leopard to a MacBook Pro using Lion. I also upgraded from MS Office 2004 to MS Office 2011.
On the old MacBook, as on my even-older Cube using OS 9.2 and Office 2001, I used several old Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts with no problem. Foremost among them were Adobe Garamond and Adobe Jenson. I've dragged the six Garamond fonts, plus its font suitcase to the Fonts folder in the Library folder. Upon seeing some fleeting font installation messages, I thought all was well.
But no luck. The fonts don't appear as options on old or new documents. Any suggestions or solutions?

Missing fonts in FrameMaker 9 even after installing Adobe Type Manager

Hi,
We are using Formata family fonts in our templates. We import the templates and don't see the font family.
We then installed the Adobe Type Manager and tried reimporting the template. No results.
We then edited the makers.ini file and added the Formata font in DefaultFamily, still we see the font as missing in the Paragraph Desiger and Catalog.
Any help in this regard is appriciated.
The FrameMaker version is 9 on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Mrini

Hi Mrini,
I need not the ATM on Windows XP or higher to install a font.
1. Open the \Windows\Fonts folder
2. Drag and Drop the font file otf, ttf or pfm (for ps fonts).
3. Then the font is available for Windows and for the applications.
4. Test it with Word and FrameMaker to choose this new font.
Additional information for FrameMaker and the maker.ini:
FrameMaker can differ Weight, Angles, Variations, Windows Weight and Angles only.
Indeed you can define the correct Family Name with information to the Windows font name and information.
That isn't longer important if you use FrameMaker on Windows platform, but it can be a great challenge
if you also work with Adobe InDesign.
InDesign works default with the correct Font Family name with Weight, Angles, Variations.

Unable to see a font in Adobe Type Kit from within Adobe Muse

While I am able to install a font, Fertigo Pro from Adobe Type Kit, am unable to see the same font in Adobe Type Kit from within Adobe Muse.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. From http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1189216-introduction-to-desktop-fonts-fro m-typekit: You are now able to sync fonts from Typekit to your desktop via Adobe Creative Cloud and use them in all your applications for web mockups, print design, word processing, and more.
Using of a font for web mockups is not the same as using it as a web font on a live website. The two uses are covered by different font licenses.
You can use a desktop synced font in Muse as a system font and export it as an image. But to use a Typekit web font in Muse is not currently supported (though you can try the Muse Insider workflow referred to in the other forum post I mentioned above).
Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Adobe type manager (installing ps. fonts in CS6)

Hi i have problem to install the adobe type manager light on my windows 7(64) and adobe CS6. How i can manage fonts in the CS6? Further i have had on my CS2 the ATM Light and it have run perfect. But now, i am lost. Please Help, when you can.THanks. Ivan

"Nobody uses PS fonts anymore, anyway. They're nothing but trouble..."
Nonsense.
One of our clients is an international car manufacturer and their corporate font, which we must use, is only available as a Postscript font from their Ad Agency (another International Company).
Postscript fonts are alive and well and are no more trouble than any other format on our company Macs.

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.
