Arial Narrow the 658753213rd

I went nuts today wit the Arial Narrow Win7 Bug.
After some hours i replaced them with my 1998 files and deletet the 3 adobe Fontlist entries.
Now my Arial narrow, still show up unter arial, but the 3 other (bold, narrow itali and bold italic) are dsiplayed under Arial Narrow.
So it is still near unusable cause i cant use shorcuts to switch a text to bold.
Anyone an Idea?!?
I ran out of 'em after 4 hours and a lot of tea ...
thx all

This Microsoft font screwup bugged me so much, I put togtether my own instructions on fixing it for future use. After following this procedure your Arial and Arial Narrow fonts will reside properly inside Adobe CS4/5 apps:
Adobe CS4 Missing Font Issues (Vista and Windows 7)
Arial Narrow fonts only show up under ‘Arial’ as ‘Narrow’ Regular, with Bold, Italic and Bold Italic unavailable.
Font files cannot be copied and pasted, but dragging seems to work to make copies available. Drag the four Arial Narrow fonts from C:\Windows\Fonts onto your Desktop and then place them into to the following folders:
InDesign
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Fonts
Photoshop and Illustrator
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Photoshop (64-bit)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
NOTE: Create the Fonts folder if it does not exist.

Canvas does not recognize the font Arial Narrow

After setting the font property on the canvas context to "Arial Narrow", the context does not render text in the desired font. Other browsers (IE9, IE10, IE11, Chrome, Safari) all render Arial Narrow correctly. The css tricks people have mentioned on this site do not work with canvas. Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/txymf/

Additional font properties like font-stretch:condensed may be required on Windows.

Uninstalling the Arial Narrow hot fix ?

I have a bit of a dilemma. As many others here have experienced, when I went to Vista Home Premium on a new system and running Office 2007, the only Arial Narrow font showing up in InDesign CS2 was regular. I did some online research and read something about older versions of Arial Narrow fonts would fix the problem. I have a CD of fonts I copied from my previous system that has an older version of the Arial Narrow family than currently on my new system, so as a test I decided to install just one and see if it works. So I chose Arial Narrow Bold and installed the older version (v2.30) over the newer version (v2.37). Normally, I back up any files/fonts I'll be overwriting but didn't do it this time (old age setting in). Well, it didn't work and after reopening InDesign, Arial Narrow Bold was still not in the list.
I then read about the hot fix, so downloaded it and installed it as well as deleting all the AdobeFnt10.lst files on my system. I reopened InDesign and low and behold, all Arial Narrow fonts were in the list...except bold, the one I'd replaced. Thinking reinstalling the original version would get it back, I had a friend send me the 2.37 version of Arial Narrow Bold and installed it over the older version. Nothing. Still no bold showing up in the list even after again deleting all the AdobeFnt10.lst files.
This leads me to believe the hot fix only works when the original fonts are in the system at the time it's installed. Once the hot fix is installed, reinstalling the font after the fact doesn't work. Is that how it works? If so, I'm wondering if I were able to uninstall or somehow remove the hot fix, then reinstall it, I may get the bold back along with the others.
BTW, in checking the current versions of Arial Narrow that were loaded with my new system, they're all v2.40 except the bold which is v2.37. I had two of my friends who are running the same OS and Office check their Arial Narrow versions and their bold version is 2.37 as well.
If anyone knows how to remove the hot fix, please let me know.

Take a look in Regedit at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts and see if you see all those numbered versions. That's the location in XP and it might be different for Vista, but you should be able to find it doing a registry search for Arial Narrow. I'd do this after deleting the font from the fonts folder.
Just to be safe, set a restore point, and back up the registry, because While I think it will be safe to edit this key, I haven't tried it and blind registry editing is always a risk.
If there are multiple entries, try deleting them all. If only one, double-click to see the value data and try editing to remove the number, or delete the entry entirely (probably better if the font has been removed).

Help!! Arial Narrow missing in Adobe Reader 9.4.7

Hello
I have the latest Adobe Reader 9.4.7 and I am having trouble with the font Arial Narrow. When I open a file which has that font I get an error saying "Cannot find or create the font 'ArialNarrow'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Any idea how I can fix this?
I have already reinstalled Adobe Reader twice and I still have this issue. I am using Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
Looking for some help.
Thanks.

It's certainly possible but, not only does the font have to be the same name, it has to be the exact font. In other words, it would have to be made by the same foundry, the same year...etc.
But there's a decent chance this is it: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=22

InDesign CS6 and Arial Narrow

I have been using CS5, had problems with the Arial Narrow font not showing up as four variations but only one, and eventually got it resolved somehow so that I had a separate font listed as Arial Narrow in the font name drop down list and four variations listed in the other drop down list (all distinct from the Arial font with its four variations). I know I deleted a lot of AdobeFnt*.lst files. I know I tried the hotfix that I found through a lot of Google searching, but it said it didn't apply to my system. Beyond that, I don't know what fixed the problem and I remember it feeling like a lot of trial and error, but eventually I got it solved.
A few days ago I installed CS6 on my system for the first time, and now I've got the same problem back again. I've spent all afternoon trying to resolve it but without any success.
I have three sets of TTF files for Arial Narrow, each set with four files for regular, bold, italic and bold italic. One set is version 2.20, one is version 2.37 and the other is version 2.40. My system is running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.
Does anyone have any idea of what will fix this problem on my system? I have a lot of InDesign documents that use Arial Narrow, so now whenever I open one of them, I have lots of missing font references. If I could get Arial Narrow reinstalled properly once again, they'd all go away.
Thanks!

This problem is due to the offending fonts having the wrong "Preferred Family" and "Preferred Subfamily" names and it can be corrected using a Font Editor, such as the free version of Type light which can be downloaded from http://www.cr8software.net/typelight.html.
The process I found to work (in Windows 8 with Adobe Indesign CC and Office 2010) is as follows:
Open a File Explorer window and go to the system font library at C:/Windows/Fonts and double click on the Arial font (this has a special icon indicating that it contains multiple subentries)
Copy the fonts for Arial Narrow, Arial Narrow Bold, Arial Narrow Italic and Arial Narrow Bold Italic to a new folder on your desktop
Edit each of these copies using your font editor and change the Preferred Family and Preferred Subfamily names (in Type light use the menu option Font>Names... then click the Advanced button)
The Preferred Family should be changed to Arial Narrow and the Preferred Subfamily should be either Regular, Bold, Italic, or Bold Italic as per the particular font you are editing (While you are there you could also make similar changes to the Arial Black font which has the same problem - in this case, make Preferred Family Arial Black and Preferred Subfamily Regular)
Save each font file back over the top of the one in the folder on the desktop (Save and replace) then open a new File Explorer window for that folder and drag the changed fonts back into their orginal location at C:/Windows/Fonts/Arial
Open a new File Explorer window and do a search on the C: drive for all instances of AdobeFnt*.lst then delete all of them

CS6 - Arial Narrow fonts do not show up

I installed CS6 on a brand new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit. The arial narrow font will not show up in the pull down menu for fonts. This seems to be a common problem as there are a lot of results when searched online. I tried several of the solutions, but none have worked. Some people have said it is a Microsoft Office thing. I found a hotfix for Office 2007, but I am using Office 2010 so the hotfix does not apply. Has anybody ever figured this out? Please help.

appearing in FW and then copy/paste it to FW. Helped with me on FW

Is there a fix for Arial Narrow not showing up in InDesign? I need it!!

InDesign CS5, Windows7. I am seeing where lots of people are having trouble, but has anyone found a fix? Arial Narrow and it's font family is supposedly installed in Windows/Fonts, but is not available in InDesign. Arial narrow only shows up under Arial as a family member, not its own family. I NEED Arial Narrow Bold to work! I am behind schedule.

Arial Narrow Font not embedded PDF when generated on server

Hi,
I'm struggling with some font issues. My report contains only Arial or Arial Narrow subset font. These fonts are installed on all client and server machines. When I render the report locally and export it to pdf then everything works fine, the report looks
ok and when checking the pdf properties the Arial narrow font has been embedded. After deploying it to a SSRS server 2008 R2 and render it from this server the export to pdf converts the Arial Narrow font to Helvetica messing up my report.
Any ideas how to maintain the Arial Narrow font?
As far as I can tell every condition as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx are met.

Hi hans0305,
According to your description that you have problem with the font in the PDF, The font type is correct when you export report to PDF in the Preview but font changed from Arial Narrow to Helvetica when export to PDF in the Report Server, right?
This problem is related to the font-embedding of PDF. The font Arial Narrow haven’t embedded successfully to the PDF. Please check in the client machine which the report server and report manger located to make sure the Arial Narrow font have been installed
correctly by enter the Control Panel and select the “Font”.
For the client machine, closing all instances of the PDF viewer then reopening them should fix the issue. If the issue still persists, you may need a full machine reboot to get the client/server to recognize the newly installed font, you can also try an
reinstall of the font Arial Narrow.

Arial Narrow for Illustrator and inDesign

How do I get Arial Narrow installed for Illustrator and inDesign? It's loaded as a Windows 7 True Type font in my computer.

Sounds like a different version of Arial was used on these previous documents. Can you create a new document with the Arial Narrow you have installed, save it, close Illy or ID, then reopen the document without the warning?
If not, your copy of Arial Narrow could be corrupt despite Adobe products being finnicky about such things.

Indesign Cs6 v8 Arial Narrow Fett

Wer hat einen entscheidenden Tip wie ich unter Adobe Indesign CS6 v8 eine Schrift (z.B. Arial Narrow) Fett oder kursiv schreiben kann? Vielen Dank.

Ich habe Dir geschrieben, wie es geht. Absatz- und Zeichenformate kannst Du selber anlegen.
Viele Grüße

Vielen Dank, aber erstelle ich im Cs6 ein neues Dokument finde ich nirgends Absatzformate. Gib es keine Möglichkeit (wie bei z.B. Word) einfach nur einen Text Fett zu machen indem man auf den Button Fett drückt? Noch besser wäre es wenn die Schrift Arial Narrow Fett gleich als Schriftart angezeigt würde.

Arial Narrow Bold in CS6??

How can I use Arial Narrow Bold in Illustrator CS6? In CS5 I can choose Arial Narrow as a font and just make it bold. Now in CS6 I only find Arial as a font and can make it either narrow or bold but not both.
I have installed the ”whole” Arial font family in windows\fonts, so there I can find Arial Narrow, but why does it and the other Arial fonts appear in Illustrator?

Arial narrow versio 2.37 in C:\Windows\Fonts.
Running Windows 7 Professional
What do you mean with where is it installed?
Should I copy this Arial Narrow to some Adobe folder?
In Illustrator CS5 this was not needed, but in all our computers running CS6, we have this same problem.

Arial Narrow Bold, Italic and Bold Italic are missing in CC 2014.

I have been trying to fix the mess Adobe and Microsoft did with the Arial Narrow font and no luck. I am on Windows 7 64, fully updated, running the CC 2014. The font Arial Narrow Regular shows as part of the Arial family. No problem there. However the variations: Arial Narrow Bold, Arial Narrow Bold Italic and Arial Narrow Italic do not show anywhere in Illustrator and Photoshop (2014). I am afraid of trying InDesign and breaking down in tears when they show nowhere there too. So frustrating!
Heads up: these solutions do not work: Arial Narrow unavailable, incomplete | CS applications | Windows and Description of the 2007 Office hotfix package (Gfonts.msp): August 26, 2008. Don't bother listing them as references on your answer. Thanks in advance.
The one thing I was not able to try was installing the Arial Narrow family that came with Windows XP because I don't have Windows XP!! Does anyone know where one can download those files from?
Any other ideas on how to fix that bug?
Thanks!
R
PS: No, I am not in love with Arial, but as a government contractor I have no option but use it everywhere

I understand your frustration with this. Sorry in advance if I'm repeating anything you've already tried...
It sounds like you've already copied the fonts into the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder.
If you haven't copied them into the InDesign Fonts folder, you'll need to do that as well.
Copy:
ARIALN.TTF
ARIALNB.TTF
ARIALNBI.TTF
ARIALNI.TTF
from C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Fonts
Substitute in the appropriate indesign fonts folder if your directory structure is different from mine.
As you're probably aware, if they're installed correctly they will only show up as variants of the Arial font:
If this doesn't work, you might want to see if there is a hotfix for "2003 Microsoft Office System" (instead of the 2007 hotfix discussed in the prior thread you posted in). Keep in mind that the office 2007 hotfix actually patched the font files themselves, so I don't know if there's a patch for the office 2003 fonts.
Good luck,
Dan

Arial Narrow missing CS5 with Win 7

I found some threads related to this issue but all are related to Win XP. These "solutions" also seem to require that you be a computer programmer to follow them
Just got a new computer with Win 7 64-bit and just updated to Photoshop/Illustrator CS5. Arial Narrow font (all varieties) is missing, although I see it in all Microsoft applications. I have a library full of ads and fliers created, most of which use Arial Narrow.
How can I get it back without having to manually go play in the Windows fonts? (my knowledge of computers outside of graphics software is limited, I don't want to make matters worse by getting into all that). Is it possibly there but under another name?
Thank you.

Reinstall CS5 by turning off AV programs(if any).
Have you seen actual evidence that an installation of Photoshop made with any particular antivirus program in force has been corrupted?
AV programs might block installations by detecting false positives, but I haven't seen anyone report that AV has corrupted their Photoshop installation, nor have I heard of one interfering with an installation without actually notifying the user, making it obvious what the problem is.
Advising people to disable their antivirus program is not good practice in general.
If an antivirus program IS interfering with the normal operation of your computer, it's time to consider getting a better quality antivirus program.
