CC Feature: denying installation of font files

For years now I've been using a program called AMP Font Viewer. It temporarily installs fonts onto the operating system upon request, and removes them upon quitting the program.
It is super beneficial when you work on multiple projects with various typefaces, because the program allow the operating system to stay clean of project font files, keeping programs' loading time to a minimum, in a clean operating environment.
Before CC, this program worked perfectly while Adobe's programs were running.
CC, however, is preventing this program from running properly. When attempting to use AMP Font Viewer, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning loading icon, AMP Font Viewer goes ghostly white, and is unable to perform its job.
To regain the control of installing temporary font files, I must kill all Adobe apps, i.e. Creative Cloud Client, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc. (but not necessarily background services).
For me this issue is a major setback and an unpleasant surprise.
I urge Adobe to avoid from locking up resources that users (alongside with the system) may need, and keep them available for other uses too.

Have you considered that the issue may actually be with the font tool not being compatible with how CC handles fonts (TypeKit and so on?). Sorry, but this seems to be a somewhat pointless complaint, given the circumstances - the program you are using is pretty old and seems to have not been updated since like forever.

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.

Rep-1925: Invalid Font File

Hi,
I'm running Reports9i and playing with the new font sub-setting feature. I have added the following line to my uifont.ali file under the [ PDF:SUBSET ] section:
sAdC128c = "SADC128C.ttf"

Hi Chad,
Well, it looks like Reports has found the file, otherwise you'd get a "rep-1924 Cannot locate the font file xxx". It seems like the font file may be corrupted. I'm not familiar with the sAdC128c font, so I'm not sure if this a converted font file or not, but you may want to try with a standard True Type font file and make sure it works. If it does, I'd try reinstalling the font in case there's a problem with it.
Hope that helps!

Can I delete unzipped font files after Font Book install?

Can I delete the unzipped font files for one particular font after it's installed with Font Book? I will offload the zipped file for maybe future installation on another computer but I am confused whether I need to keep the unzipped font files on my Mac after they were installed via Font Book.

Yes

How can I get the example fonts from the font file Programmatically?

Hi Friends,
         I am doing one mac application for the fonts management. Now I would like to Preview the Font in the NSTextView. This is my coding for the textView.
    NSTextView *text3=[[NSTextView alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(250,500,450,30)];
    [text3 setString:@"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"];
    [text3 setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"GangofThree" size:40]];
    [[[self window] contentView] addSubview:text3];
Because I have set the string in English for the NSTextView I can't able to view the other languages characters.I got the character set of the font file by using this code.
   NSCharacterSet *characterset = (NSCharacterSet *) CTFontCopyCharacterSet (fontRef);
This Font is greek font.Now My question is how can I able to get the greek characters from this characterset.

Your text string would certainly have to be in Greek itself, not Latin. No normal font just translates Latin letters to Greek, they use other codepoints reserved for Greek letters.

Reading a font file from url

I am trying to read font files on a server to create fonts.
here is the url of the font file.

I am using Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, XXX ); method but I can't get a proper File or InputStream from this url (XXX).
How can I make it?

Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\

I have searched on Google and all over this forum and none of the solutions have fixed my problem.
Crystal Version: Crsytal.Net for Visual Studio.Net 2005
Server: Windows Server 2003
Error:
Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JuryDutyReport {D6296178-3E72-483E-B876-2DFC03D00841}.rpt: Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it.
When I run my app locally through the Web Server that comes with ASP.Net, everything is fine, it is only when I deploy the application to the Windows 2003 Server that I get the error.
I'm using impersonation in my ASP.Net application. I have given that domain user full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp'', the export folder and even the folder where the Crystal Report resides on the Server. When I run the application on the Web Server, I actually see the ".rpt" get created in the "C:\Windows\Temp" folder but yet it still says there is a permissions error.
What is bizarre is that the code below that just sends the file to the printer automatically works:
private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
        //create report document
        ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
        //load, set datasource and print options
        crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
        crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
        crDoc.PrintOptions.PrinterName = ddlPrinters.SelectedValue.ToString(); //set printername
        crDoc.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait; //set paper orientation
        crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
        crDoc.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0); //send to printer
I have to change the code to export to a PDF and this code doesn't work:
    private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
        //report document
        ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
        string myfile = @"G:\COPFS\COPFSPROD\ReportsTemp\MyPDF.pdf";
        //load, set datasource and print options
        crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
        crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
        crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
        //export through http
        crDoc.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, myfile);
        crDoc.Close();
        crDoc.Dispose();
        Response.ClearContent();
        Response.ClearHeaders();
        Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf";
        Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile);
        Response.WriteFile(myfile);
        Response.Flush();
        Response.Close();
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have to present this to end users tomorrow.

Don, thanks for the response.
As a last ditch effort, I granted "modify" to the Network Service Account on C:\Windows\Temp and that fixed the error.
There are two things that are troubling about this:
1) I'm impersonating a domain user in my ASP.Net application and when the PDF is created, the owner is that domain user, so I know impersonation is working. So I wonder if ASP.Net picks and chooses what account it runs under at different times?
2) It is a little scary for the Network Service Account to have this access but that people seem to be fine with it.

How can I access a specific font face contained within a TTF font file?

I want to access "Avenir Medium", which is one of 12 faces contained within the font file named "Avenir.ttf".
CSS allows me to specify the font file (src:...), the family name (fontFamily), and the weight (fontWeight).
The file, of course, is the same for every face within the TTF file, so that doesn't help.
The family is Avenir. Am I supposed to use some version of "Avenir Medium" in the fontFamily param? Nothing I've tried has worked.
The weight is Medium, but that is not an option for the CSS param fontWeight, so this does not seem to be the way to do it.
In Photoshop the font is accessed via the Family pull-down (Avenir) and the Syle pull-down (Medium).
I have not found a way to split the TTF file into separate files for each face, though that would seem to be the simplest solution.

How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

Hello,
I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help is appreciate it.
Thanks.

This is how you do it
Font
DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
Font Mapping Set
DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'

Error when running oracle report - Cannot locate the font file 'arial.ttf'

Hello
I am running a report and I am getting the following error. Terminated with error: <br>REP-3316: Cannot locate the font file 'arial.ttf' REP-1924:
Any help appreciated.
David

Hello,
REP-1924: Cannot locate the font file '<filename>'Cause:
The font file specified in UIFONT.ALI is not found.
Action:
Make sure that the font file exists in REPORTS_PATH.
So, it seems that you are using DESFORMAT=PDF and that subsetting has been configured in the file uifont.ali
In this case, a file arial.ttf must exist in a directory of REPORTS_PATH

Font Book won't remove font files

I've been doing some testing with Font Book in hopes to replace Suitcase for font management. I've been testing on OS X 10.4.5 with Font Book 2.0.2.
I have FB prefs setup with User as the default install location. Getting fonts installed works fine. To simplify for testing I'm just using one source folder with one family of fonts in it. So I drag the source folder into the FB window where I have created a collection called Temp.
The font files are copied into ~/Library/Fonts, just as they should be, and are now available to the system. When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
According to all documentation I've read, that is not the expected behavior. When Remove Fonts is used within FB, the font files should be moved to the trash.
In addition, since the font files are being left in ~/Library/Fonts, if I try to add the same source folder back into FB, nothing happens, they just simply do not load. If I manually remove the lingering fonts from ~/Library/Fonts I am then able to add the source folder again.
So it appears that FB is not functioning as advertised. I've confirmed this on two separate machines running 10.4.5 and also with one running 10.3.9.
Any ideas what's up or am I missing something here?

"When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
Where are you selecting the font, from within the "All Fonts" collection, or within the "Temp" collection? If you've selected it from within your Temp collection, "Remove" only removes the font from the collection, not from your installed fonts. To remove the fonts from your installed fonts, you need to select them from within the All Fonts collection.
I think what you might want to do rather than create a collection is to create an actual "Temporary" font library. In Font Book, select the All Fonts collection so that the focus is in the leftmost column and choose "New Library" from the action menu. Name it "Temporary" (or whatever else you'd like) and then hit enter. Notice it's listed above the dividing line which separates libraries on the top with collections on the bottom. Now, drag your folder of fonts from the Finder onto the "Temporary" library icon in Font Book. NOTE: A reference to the fonts will be added to Font Book; the fonts themselves are not copied but remain where they are in the Finder and are activated or deactivated from there. Now, whether you select the fonts from within the All Fonts library or the Temporary library, the "Remove" command will remove the fonts from Font Book. (Since the fonts remained in their original location, when they're removed from Font Book they're not moved to the Trash; rather, the reference to them is simply removed from Font Book).
Hope this helps....

How to get the actual font name from a font file?

Hi
I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
Thanks,

I would ask you these questions:
Why do you need to do this? What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file? Or do you want information about a font installed on the system? If so, what OS?
Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
Which font "name" do you mean?
What language do you want the name in?
(1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish. A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
(2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK. Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in? If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
(3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards. I would start by reading these:
The Naming Table
Font Names Table
(4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
(5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
(6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
Any clarification would make this a better question.

Integrating font-files in java-api-alls - configuration?

Hello!
I have some integration of the BI-Publisher-API. Now we would like to manage some specials fonts. Since I have no controll-center like the EBS to say: this is my font-file, include this! So I am looking to get a smoother way.
While searching the board I found this thread:
barcode using api
There is some similar issue. But I do not understand where to put this configure-file and how to implement this into the API-calls.
Can anyone help me?
My current procedure to process the document looks like this:
     private void processPDFOutput(InputStream xmlDataInputStream, InputStream xslTemplateInputStream) throws XDOException {
          pdfOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          FOProcessor foProcessor = new FOProcessor();
         foProcessor.setData(xmlDataInputStream);
         foProcessor.setTemplate(xslTemplateInputStream);
         foProcessor.setOutput(pdfOutputStream);
         foProcessor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
         Properties cfgProps = new Properties();
         cfgProps.put("xslt._XDOTIMEZONE", "'Europe/Berlin'");
         foProcessor.setConfig(cfgProps);
         foProcessor.generate();
     }In addition I can not find a documentation whats all conmfigurable. Finding the right config for the TIMEZONE took very long time. I am interressted in what is also configurable?
Best Regards
and thank you for your help.
Alexander

Hi
The config file is just an XML file that holds configuration information for the FO engine. All you need do is place it some where accessible so that your API code can access it. You would then call:
foProcessor.setConfig(<<cfg location>>);
Alternatively drop the config file into <JRE_TOP>/jre/lib and the api will go look for it automatically.
As to what can go into the config file, lots of properties and of course the font configurations. The latest release of BIP hides the config file with some UI but if you check the following doc you can see the properties.
