Alerts missing characters

Hi,
In SharePoint, we have an announcements list with an alert for all the users (when a new item is added).
Sometimes in the alert (the mail that we receive), there is 1 random character missing.
The announcements we place contains all alphabetic letters (no symbols or special characters)...
What could be the cause of this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Alexander,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the characters are missing in the alert emails.
Was there any customization on the default alert template or did you use custom alert template instead?
I recommend to check the outgoing email setting for the web application where the announcement list exists to see if the Character set is 65001 (Unicode UTF-8).
Please go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage web applications > highlight the corresponding web application and then click General Setting and select Outgoing E-mail.
To narrow the issue scope, please create a new list and then test the alert to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

Missing characters in generated PDF - Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

PDF documents printed from Framemaker or Microsoft Word are missing characters. Usually the missing characters are after bold text or headings. If the text is underscored, the underscores are printed, but the text is not. When I have these source files printed to PDF by someone using Acrobat Distiller included with FrameMaker 7.2, all of the text is included.
I apreciate any ideas yo may have.

Install the following Microsoft Hotfix.

Missing Characters in Frame Generated PDFs

I had an odd thing happen, that I thought I'd pass on. I was working on
my Mac to generate some statistical output. I printed out the results to
pdf, imported the results in to a Frame 8 document as a referenced
graphic. I then saved as a PDF with all fonts embedded. When viewing the
resulting pdf, two of the statistical charts had missing characters.
They just were not there. The two pdfs had been generated (accidentally)
using the smallest pdf file setting in Distiller 9. The other
problem-free charts had with all the fonts embedded made it through the
workflow perfectly. Regenerating the charts as pdfs with all fonts
embedded cured the problem with the final pdf.
Who would have thought that pdfs with non-embedded fonts would have
caused a problem down the line?
...Mike

Mike,
It's the same issue as with EPS with non-embedded fonts. FM's PDF
importing routine converts the PDF to an EPS for internal use, so
you're getting a PDF > EPS > PDF conversion taking place in the
workflow. Drop a font and something goes awry.

Missing characters

I, like others that I see on the forum, have a problem with missing characters. I am inserting pdfs into another pdf and while the original pdf displays and prints perfectly, when I insert it into the master document it no longer is correct. I tried importing the font and I still have the problem. I did the exact same proceedure with almost ecactly the same documents last month that printed almost perfectly. I just tried reopening the previously acceptable file and now it does not display or print properly. I was concerned about a message that said something about optimizing for web display. I supply these documents in printed and pdf format not for the web.

If you have the fonts used in your documents the following steps should fix the problem:
1) Use the PDF optimizer to unembed the fonts in your documents.
2) Use the Preflight capability to re-embed the fonts in your document. I suggest you embed the entire font and not use font subsets, though embedding the font can cause the document size to grow for larger documents the size the embedded font is a not trivial.

[SOLVED] Fontproblem in Mathematica 10.0.0, missing characters

I have some trouble rendering fonts in Mathematica 10.0.0 (AUR).
There are missing characters, see this example:
http://oi57.tinypic.com/2n80inl.jpg
Mathematica does not print any error message when run from a console (is there a way to make it print errors?).
Here is what Wolfram has to say about Fonts on Linux.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Things I've tried so far:
* reinstalling
* clearing /~/.mathematica/
* installing/(uninstalling) font-mathematica (AUR)
* installing the ubuntu fonts
* messing with font-paths (see below)
Mathematica stores its fonts in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/, I tried adding the folders to the font-path even tho I'm thinking it should be able to find them anyway..
I added a xorg 10-fonts.conf:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fonts.conf
# Let X.Org know about the custom font directories
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"

FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG"
FontPath "/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType"
EndSection
The font-path as reported by xset q:
xset q
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/TTF,/usr/share/fonts/OTF,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG,/opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/OTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-ins
Now a few got doubled/tripled.. (how to fix this?)
The font-packages I have installed are:
ttf-bitstream-vera
ttf-dejavu
ttf-freefont
ttf-junicode
ttf-liberation
ttf-ms-fonts (AUR)
ttf-symbola
ttf-ubuntu-font-family
jsmath-fonts
terminus-font
Output of fc-list (reorderd for readability):
http://pastebin.com/Z1qazs1s
Upon checking Xorg.0.log I found a few font-related errors:
grep /fonts /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 4.834] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.
[ 4.836] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/".

/usr/share/fonts/misc/,
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/
The folders /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/ and /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ did not contain any fonts, only a file fonts.alias.
I created the missing OTF-folder and ran this anyway:
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/100dpi
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/75dpi
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/OTF
That silenced the warnings but did nothing re. my problems with Mathematica.
I also ran this:
mkfontdir opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/TrueType
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG
mkfontdir /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM
fc-cache -vf
And also this:
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/SVG
xset fp+ /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/AFM
xset fp rehash
But it wasn't helpful.
[BTW I don't understand what the difference is between xset and using xorg.conf.d? Is xset only runtime, or where does it store the configuration?]
(I'm probably going about this the wrong way, I'm new to fixing font issues...)

Found a solution for KDE in this thread.
Change the Anti-aliasing-setting:
System Settings > Application Appearance > Fonts > Use anti-aliasing
My was set to System settings, I set it to Enabled and it started working. I tried to change it back to System Settings but now I can't make it not work again.

InDesign CS4 to PDF - Missing characters

I created a brochure (2-sided with lots of copy) using InDesign CS4; I exported it to PDF [Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)].
When opened in Acrobat 9 Professional on my computer, the file contents were perfect. The file was sent as an email attachment to prepress. When the printer opened it using Acrobat 7.0 Professional (don't know if it was on PC or Mac; they have both), there were missing characters.
The word "officer" occurred eight times in the document. In two of those occurrences, the characters "ffi" were missing. The remaining 926 words conveyed without a problem.
Any insights will be appreciated.
Frank

Embedding the entire font shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. InDesign embeds all the glyphs that are used. If the font is embedded at all, Acrobat only uses the embedded font.
Furthermore, Acrobat (including Acrobat 7) uses the local fonts option if and only if the font being accessed is not at all embedded and that particular font is on the user's system.
What is very suspect here is that the ffi ligature appears correctly in only 2 out of 8 occurrences in the word officer and that you see no problems on your system using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Here is what I would look for:
(1) Ascertain that the font is really embedded at all. Use CTRL-D and look to see whether the font is either embedded or subset embedded. If neither, that is the source of the problem. You could also run a preflight profile to ascertain that all fonts are properly embedded.
(2) You might want to find out what your printer is
really doing with your file. Is he opening a page or two in Illustrator, something can can cause very strange PDF corruptions? Are there any steps that he is performing before opening it in Acrobat such as processing it in some prehistoric workflow system that has more errors than an early Mets game?
(3) Find out whether your printer at least has Acrobat 7 updated with all the updates issued by Adobe. They were a whole carload of them. I think about 12 such updates in the 24 months that Acrobat 7 was current. You might also want to suggest that at this point, Acrobat 7 is a fairly old version for any printer that wants to stay up to date in terms of PDF print publishing workflow.

Missing characters with menu drop down

I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's (less than 6 months old)running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters. On one machine I was reinstalling Adobe CS2 Premium and the initial installation screen was actually missing characters in the words under the icons. Also, the menu bar drop downs were missing characters as well. I was able to figure out how to do the install and the rest of the install did not have a problem. After restarting the system, everything seemed to be fine.
As I was working on reinstalling Adobe on the first system, the person on the second system asked me to come over and look at a problem he was having. He too was missing characters on the menu dropdown. Example: Shutdow actually was h tdown and most other drop downs were the same way. On this machine, there wasn't any applications running except Finder and Extensis Suitcase. When I restarted the system the problem was gone. Any ideas as to the cause and cure for this problem? Anyone else experienced this?

No, there isn't. No matter which menu model you use, you'll
always have
to update everything on the server manually. You might want
to explore

Yes, but I had an instance yesterday where it did not. I deleted library/caches/com.apple.ats and restarted the system and it seemed to then work. I am still trying to isolate if it is an Apple issue or an Extensis Fusion issue.

Missing characters on Menu

Radomly i will have missing characters on the menu under the Apple.
For example instead of saying "Shut down" it will say "S u D w n"
And when i navigate to files it has similar problems.....so my folders might say "w b_c ea i e" Instad of web_creative"
Anywone else have a problem like this? I have a screen shot that i can post too...

After i reboot it goes away. But comes back randomly. I thought maybe it was a network thing....i am one of 3 macs at our company. However that is not the case, as it happened at home, where i was not connected to the network.
Yes i am upgraded to the 10.4.7

Missing characters when opening MIF8 in FM8 (p273)

Hi,
Something our translation vendor just discovered.
Since it may have major ramifications for FM users who do alot of translations, we choose to post the bug report here too. More problems in CJK, Russian and Eastern European languages and less in Western European languages.
Concise problem statement:
Opening edited (translated) MIF files in FrameMaker 8 causes some of the extended characters disappear. Text containing extended characters for different languages are missing characters in FrameMaker, although all characters are present in the MIF file. The missing characters follow no particular pattern, most of the time all characters are there. (If you need more example texts in other languages to try this on, please contact me.)
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a new FM file and enter "Some text".
2. Save the file as MIF (version eight).
3. Open the saved MIF file in any text Unicode-enabled editor.
4. Replace <String `Some text'> with <String `Ce produit est protégé par des brevets, des brevets de conception, des brevets en instance ou des brevets de conception en instance. Veuillez consulter la liste complète dans le manuel de référence sur CD-ROM.'>
5. Save the edited MIF file.
6. Open the MIF file in FrameMaker
Results
The word référence is missing characters, the text says "rfrence".
Expected results
All characters entered in the MIF file should appear correctly when the MIF file is opened in FrameMaker.
Best regards,
Mats Broberg

Arnis,
You are correct. The text between the tags is, I see now, a mistake on my side when quoting the vendor's report. Here is the bug report as it was posted to Adobe:
=============================================

=============================================
I am not in the office at the moment and don't have access to FM8 until tomorrow but can you do a test on your side with your text to see if the problem persists?
Two different vendors using two fundamentally different translation tools and workflows report the same type of errors, so I would be surprised if this is not a true bug.
But I may be wrong.
Best regards,
Mats Broberg

On my finder, I am missing characters. They are gone

So I have noticed since I installed Mavericks I have some missing characters. Its better for me to show you. Look at my screenshots. What is casuing this?

Quit all open App's, close your Finder window, restart your Mac Mini and open a New Finder Window.
In addition, are you using any icon or file enhancement software that might not compatible with 10.9...?

Alerts Missing Remarks/Text

Hello Experts here is the scenario
USER A
USER B
User A goes into SAP creates a sales order adds the order alert pops up. User A writes in the Remarks and sends saves.
User B gets the email and decides to authorize it. User B is able to see the USER A remarks with ease. User B authorizes the order with a remark.
User A gets email which shows accepted order. User would like to see remarks but cannot see the text button is grayed out.
neither USER A nor USER B remarks/text are visible.
I believe that this is a must and only makes sense for the remakrs to be visible
if in the above scenario the sales order is accepted but with a condition,
The person adding the order will not see the condition

Missing characters in CFF embedded fonts

Our application loads embedded fonts on the fly. I'm in the process of converting our text handling to FTE and switching over to CFF fonts, but I've noticed that for a couple of fonts, there are characters that are damaged, or missing entirely. The same text renders correctly when the font is installed as a system font, and also when it's embedded in the non-CFF format, so CFF embedding is choking on something, but I have no idea what. Nor do I see a lot of knobs that I can twist to control the CFF output.
For example, Budmo Jiggler (http://www.dafont.com/budmo-jiggler.font). When embedded as CFF, the letter "B" isn't rendering correctly:
This occurs in both the 10.3 and 11.3 players.
My embedding code is autogenerated for all fonts and looks like this:
// GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.text.Font;
     [SWF(width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF", frameRate="30")]
     public class BUDMO extends Sprite {
          [Embed(source='/Users/bsharon/src/Bueller/as/fonts/ttf/Budmo Jiggle/BUDMO.ttf',
                 mimeType="application/x-font",
                 fontName='embedded_BUDMO',
                 unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00FF',
                 embedAsCFF='true',
                 fontWeight='normal',
                 fontStyle='normal')]
          public static var embedded_BUDMO:Class;
          [Embed(source='/Users/bsharon/src/Bueller/as/fonts/ttf/Budmo Jiggle/BUDMOB.ttf',
                 mimeType="application/x-font",
                 fontName='embedded_BUDMO',
                 unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00FF',
                 embedAsCFF='true',
                 fontWeight='bold',
                 fontStyle='normal')]
          public static var embedded_BUDMO_Bold:Class;
            trace("Registering font embedded_BUDMO");
            Font.registerFont(embedded_BUDMO);
            trace("Registering font embedded_BUDMO_Bold");
            Font.registerFont(embedded_BUDMO_Bold);
The code is compiled like so: mxmlc --static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -output <swf_file> <as3_file>. There are no warnings.
So...what do I try next?

I will close my own question by saying that if I convert the TTF files to OpenType, the problem goes away. I would have preferred not to bang my head on this particular wall, but at least I have a workaround now.

Missing characters after PDF conversion CS 6

Characters are going missing after converting files in InDesign to PDF format. The user has Acrobat X pro.

I've moved your question to the InDesign forum.
What version of InDesign? What computer platform? Which PDF preset was used for creating the PDF file?
It would help if you could provide screen captures from InDesign and from Acrobat to show how the PDF doesn't reflect the InDesign file. Use the Camera icon in the edit window to attach screen captures.

Very strange problem. Missing characters in QT applications

Hello all.
I'm trying to deal with a very strange issue since some time, that is driving me crazy, because I have no clue where the problem may lay:
In my Archlinux system, some, and only some QT applications (for example Skype, or Qtconfig) don't display properly certain characters in the unicode set (for example "ń" or "ł") when I use certain fonts (for example Terminus, Clean or Verdana), and those applications substitute those characters with the corresponding ones from the Bitstream Vera Sans font type.
So, when I write, say, the Polish word "Toruń", the four first letters (T, o, r and u) are rendereed in the desired font type (let's say Terminus). However, the last letter (ń) is rendered in Bitstream Vera Sans, thus making the writing appear really ugly and uneven.
However, this doesn't happen in Opera (the browser), which is a QT application, but where I get the whole unicode character set displayed properly in the desired font type (Terminus in this example).
Also, this doesn't happen in the rest of non-QT applications I have in my system: all of them render perfectly the whole unicode set of characters in the desired font type, no matter which.
But! it's not a problem of those QT applications, because I have another partition with Ubuntu installed, and when I boot that partition I don't have this problem: all applications, including Skype and Qtconfig, display correctly all characters in the whole unicode set, no matter which font type I'm using.
This is totally bewildering me.
Any clue?
Thank you.

The problem is not only in qt applications. I run openbox and this is the output I get when using the command-line script pdfmerge to merge pdf files:
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=48, glyph=0030 in the font VerdanaBold . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=49, glyph=0031 in the font VerdanaBold . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=31, glyph=001f in the font VerdanaItalic . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.

GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=37, glyph=0025 in the font VerdanaItalic . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=34, glyph=0022 in the font VerdanaItalic . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=54, glyph=0036 in the font VerdanaBold . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=44, glyph=002c in the font VerdanaBold . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=50, glyph=0032 in the font VerdanaBold . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Missing glyph CID=77, glyph=004d in the font Verdana . The output PDF may fail with some viewers.
There are visible errors in the pdf output. For example, bold "C" is replaced by a square box, bold "b" is replaced by a space.
It looks like there's bug in the Verdana font or perhaps in Ghostscript 8.71
