Cambodian fonts won't work in inDesign CS5

Hi! I am unable to get inDesign to replicate correct Cambodian fonts. I've downloaded a wide variety and though they are correct in word, they do not work in inDesign, the differences are very small, a few missing characters, incorrect symbols, etc. I've attached a photo of what the font should look like (top) and what it comes through as in inDesign (bottom). Look at line two, in inDesign note the missing j-like symbols and crosses that don't belong but are replacing something else. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing is working. Please help, I would greatly appreciate it!!

First, he sent it to me in the Khmer OS font and I got the missed characters and odd symbols in inDesign. Second, he re-wrote it and sent it to me in the Kh Moul font with the same results on my end.
Long story short - Unicode fonts like the KhmerOS font should work if the world-ready composer is on. I don't recognize "Kh Moul" but you can test to see if it should work. If you open up the Glyphs menu (Type -> Glyphs) and pick the Cambodian font of your choice, and then hold the mouse over a character, it should report the name of the character in a mouseover popup. If you see something like "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OE" or something like that, or no character name at all, it means it's a bad font and cannot be trusted in InDesign. Most of the Cambodian fonts I've seen are font-hacks like this (where the English letter is erased and replaced with a Cambodian character). I've made those work in the past, but it usually requires editing the font.
Double whammy, I also need to make this work for chyron (television graphics). I'm hoping if I figure out inDesign, it will use the same fix.
The World-Ready Composer turns on some features of InDesign that allow it to support complex scripts like Cambodian, if the font is constructed correctly. It's a feature of InDesign, so if it works, you won't be able to assume that it will work in any other application. I searched the Chyron knowledge base and found nothing, but nothing, about Unicode or complex script fonts or anything like that. You'll probably need to make images of your text, so you will need to find out the target specifications from whomever is setting this up for you. If you have that spec but don't know what to do with it, I'm sure that we can help you figure out how to spit a file out of InDesign that the teevee people will be able to use.

Delete won't work in Indesign CS5

Hello, new to these forums so bear with me please.
Ive been using indesign since CS1, upgraded to CS3 and now to CS5.
I've always been able to delete an object rather than cut it, but in indesign cs5 I can't. I can in illustrator, my cs3 version and all other packages, but not indesign cs5. I've followed some advice to reset the preferences, but this has made no difference. I'm using windows vista business, and was just wondering if I've got a bug / has anyone else come across this.
It's driving me absolutley crazy as I want to get right in but I'm still using CS3.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

Sorry, you did mention that in your first post and I overlooked it.

Currently i am working in InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5 i am working on a project that requires working

currently i am working in InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5
i am working on a project that requires working with another person who is using the latest version of CC,
how will CC effect my current project and will i be able to share the file ?

It could be a one way trip.
There have been instances where your older version was more stable for CC as an exported idml.
Prior to ver 7 (?) text engines were occasionally updated which would cause text to reflow in later versions.

Are your layers or objects locked? Did you do all the initial editing on your master pages?

Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
I have attached an example.
I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
Here is the example

Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself! Hopefully our article (to which you linked) was of some help in that process. Let us know if you need anything else.

'Package' command not working in Indesign CS5.5

Hi Everyone. I am using Indesign CS5.5, and cannot create a 'Package' folder that collects all fonts and graphic assets used in a document I am working on. Using File>Package, the progress bar hurries through very quickly (way too quickly for a 80Mb file!) and the resulting 'Package ' folder is empty - no fonts, no images!
Has anyone else experienced this? And did they solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

IDML never contains the images. It contains references to the images.
The images aren't altered. The person who sent the file to you needs to relink the images to the InDesign file in the Links panel.

My Font Preview not working in AI CS5

I'm new to Illustrator so maybe I'm missing something but my font preview won't work in the Character panel (ctrl + t.) I have checked my preferences and the option to show the font preview is checked. I can see a preview of the fonts if I go to the menu and select Type/ Font but that is the only place the preview shows up.
I am working on a Windows 7 Pro system.
Is there something I can try to get this feature working? Thanks in advance.

I don't believe your answer is correct. Windows can show font previews in all menus and panels because Photoshop CS5 does this already. So if Photoshop can do it, why can't Illustrator do it too?
I'll keep looking for a fix...

Cross reference or hyperlinking not working for InDesign CS5 Book to ePub

I cannot get hyperlinks or cross reference links to work when generating an ePub from InDesign CS5. (7.0.0.355, Mac OS 10.6.2)
Here's how to recreate a simple test demonstrating the issue.
1. Create a new InDesign Book (File -> New -> Book)
2. Create document one (File -> New -> Document)
3. Create a text box and type "Table of Contents"
4. Create document two (File -> New -> Document)
5. Create a text box in it and type "Story One"
6. Create a new paragraph style and assign it to the Story One text
7. Save document 2. I just kept the name Untitled-2.xhtml
8. Back in document 1, add a cross-reference and select document 2, the style you created, and then "Story One". "Story One" should now appear under the previously typed Table of Contents text, and when highlighed, should show it is an active cross reference in the Hyperlinks panel.
9. Save document 1. I just kept the name Untitled-1.xhtml
10. Add both documents to the Book and save the book.
11. From the Book panel, select Export Book to EPUB...
12. Save the epub file and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.
Note that the text "Story One" appears as a hyperlink but when clicked does not switch to the document 2. It does nothing apparent when clicked.
Looking at the XHTML source for the first document, it is immediately evident why. The filename for document 2.thml is missing. It looks like this: <a href="#anchor-anchor">
When it should be : <a href="Untitled-2.xhtml#anchor-anchor">
The same thing works if you create a hyperlink instead of a cross reference.
I note then when I use the option to go to the destinate reference in the Cross Link (hyperlink) panel, it does switch to the second InDesign docuemtn. So the cross reference is functioning (in InDesign). But the link is broken in the ePub for the above mentioned reason.
Bug? Something I'm overlooking?
Entire source of Untitled-1.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

As far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been fixed in CS5.5. I'm having the same problem. I have about 90 hyperlinks to fix.
And the explanation that Teus Dejong gives indicates it's not going to be that helpful: "we have found that only the links in documents split by the CS5 exporter will be fixed. For books the script does only work for references to earlier documents in the book, not for forward references. This means in practice that for most books the script will not repair the links and should be seen as a means to add the year only. At the moment I see no way to repair this, because the book epub output of InDesign does not contain sufficient information to repair links referencing forward to others documents in a book."
It's pretty discouraging.

Colour Profiles no longer work in Indesign CS5

I have upgraded to cs5 and I am printing in Indesign using a Epson 3800, my old colour profiles no longer work (There is a cyan cast and everything is really saturated). The same profiles work fine through photoshop.
This profile worked in Indesign Photshop and Illustrator in cs3
Does anyon know, if there is something different within cs5 Indesign printing set up?

Take a look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3287272#3287272 for some information. Was DYP found that on Mac the monitor profile was being introduced into the print flow for RGB printing out of ID -- an Apple Bug I think -- and the status of what's happening has changed.

Will InCopy CS6 work with InDesign CS5.5?

Hi folks - I need to use InDesign CS5.5 due to a customer's requirement. I need to use InCopy to delegate copy editing. Looks like the lowest version of InCopy I can get is InCopy CS6. Will InCopy CS6 play nice with InDesign CS5.5?
Thanks in advance.

bahhh
Cheers for your reply though. Is there any way of getting InCopy CS5.5 these days?

System Fonts won't work

I have a set of fonts that I need to use for a client's logo design. When I switched over from my MBP to this newer iMac, not all of the fonts in the font book are working.
I've gone to several tech blogs and inquired about the issue and have gotten good advice but none seems to be the answer to my dilemma. In the FontBook, I can see the following:
New Peninim
Ariel Hebrew
Corsiva Hebrew
Raanana
Israel
But, when I try to engage them in either Photoshop or Illustrator, nothing but blank boxes seems to come up. Can anyone offer any kind of assistance.
Thank you so much,
Andre

No, these are fonts used by everyone who wants to write the Hebrew language, or display it in any normal email, webpage, or text document.
Apple has never supplied Hebrew fonts where you just type with the US keyboard and switch the font to get the characters. To my knowledge, non-standard Latin encoded fonts like that are mainly used by a few older bible study apps and sites.
Just go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the box for Hebrew qwerty, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, and then select Hebrew qwerty in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type away and see if you get Hebrew in your apps or not.
If you need to create real Hebrew text paragraphs in Adobe apps, the ME edition is normally advised.

Fonts won't work!!

I'm having a hard time figuring out why most of my fonts wont work anymore- just last nite my fonts some of my fonts just stopped working. In ichat, iwork, textedit, etc. no matter where i try some just wont work- for example: i can use times, but not times new roman. please help me!

Hi Kenvin....
Are you using anything for font management?
One thing you might want to do is use something like Yasu or Onyx to clean font caches.
That might clear things up.

OpenType font won't work in PDF created from PM 7.0.1a file

Per my client's request, I had to purchase a lovely new OpenType font, AJenson Pro, for a book project I'm paging using PageMaker 7.0.1a in Windows XP. First it wouldn't print on my postscript HP laser printer, but downloading an updated printer driver from the HP web site easily fixed that problem. But I have done everything I can think of and I can't get the new font to appear in a .pdf created using Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5, which came bundled with PageMaker.
The font shows up in the finished .pdf as boxes with X marks in them instead of letters! I'm not trying to use anything but standard characters (no glyphs, etc.) in the font. I've been using PageMaker and creating .pdf files in Acrobat Distiller 5.0 for years and have had no problems until I got this new font. Adobe Type Manager shows that it is installed and it looks great on the screen.
I purchased the entire AJenson Pro font family from MyFonts.com, so I have bold, bold ital, etc. Their technical support couldn't suggest anything I hadn't already tried.
I'm planning on upgrading my PageMaker to InDesign soon, but I'll need a new computer to meet the minimum system requirements so I've been putting it off. I'm afraid to even download the free 30-day trial on my older computer. Any suggestions on how to get this OpenType font to work in a .pdf created using PM 7.0.1a and Acrobat Distiller 5.0, or do I have to upgrade to InDesign right away? I need to be able to create a .pdf so I can e-mail proofs to my client and eventually to send the finished book to a commercial printer. Thanks!

I have had this same problem myself with most Open Type fonts. It's very irritating, because it seems like most of the new fonts are being issued exclusively in Open Type.
I have developed a work-around, which you can attempt at your own risk.
Purchase the software FontCreator (I use FontCreator 5.6 Home Edition). It's not very expensive.
Open the problem font in FontCreator, and save it with a different name. In the process of saving it, the font will be converted to a TrueType font. Install the new version of the font. In my experience, you can then successfully use the font in Pagemaker, and convert it to a pdf.
This is not a perfect solution because there will be a *very* slight diminishment in the crispness of the lines of the font -- but this is only visible when the font is magnified to something like 6400% in Acrobat. It is not visible to the naked eye, or at least not to my naked eye.

Print Dialog Box Won't Open in InDesign CS5.5 on PC

Worked fine yesterday and today I can't get the print dialog box to open by either the print button or ctrl-P. Have tried restarting the program and restarting the computer with no resolution. The rest of the program works fine.

I was unable to find the SavedData file. I am running Windows 7 and there seems to be two files there /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign and /Roaming/Adobe/AdobeInDesing5.5 and neither one has a clear file name "InDesign SavedData" for me to remove. I think I found the "InDesign Debaults" under the /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign/version7.5/en_US/InDesignDefaults. Is that one it?

I accidentally installed the Digital Publishing Suite upgrade, and now DPS won't work with my CS5.5. Is there a way to get the previous version?

I have tried to re-install the previous version several times, but I still get the error message:
I even went to the originally downloaded extension & used it to install DPS, but that didn't work.

No. As that message states, DPS is no longer supported in CS5 or CS5.5. This was announced months ago.
