Celestia fonts (solution)

Celestia 1.5.0-1 is out
There is some trouble with fonts and russian (or all non-english?) locale: question marks instead of text.
My locale is ru_RU.UTF-8.
Solution:
1) Go here Celestia i18n and get your fonts. For me it was: sans12_ru.txf, sans14_ru.txf and sansbold20_ru.txf
2) Copy downloaded fonts to /usr/share/celestia/fonts.
3) Backup original fonts and make symlinks (sans12_ru.txf -> sans12.txf). Or edit /usr/share/celestia/celestia.cfg.
P.S. Please, reply, if it was useful for you.

I have the same problem and the fix won't work here either. Care to make these old fonts public?

Still looking for font solution

A problem I'm trying to get resolved:
I have some true type fonts. When I attempt to open their suitcase all it does is open font book and displays one version of the font.
I recall in earlier OSs you could click open the suitcase and view the font names and sizes within.
Am I doing something wrong?
If I have 8 styles of a font do I need 8 suitcases, or is one enough? If one is enough does the suitcase have to include all the font styles inside, or is just one style enough?
One other question:
QuarkXPress support claims that the printer fonts are missing in the fonts I've asked them to analyze.
However, these same fonts have printed normal on my inkjet and also at one of the print on demand printers. The fonts printed ok in RGB documents, but the same document printed in CMYK has the type substituted with courier.
PS: These same fonts have printed successfully in both RGB and CMYK in the past. The only difference that I can think of is that the document PDF files were created through Quark running OS 10.3. The errors began when I switched to OS 10.4. Could this be the cause, because if it is then how come the RGB PDFs created in OS 10.4 still print ok?
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks

Frank,
I wondered what type of fonts you were using and your query is a bit telling. Briefly…
TrueType fonts: both the screen and printer fonts for all styles are wrapped in one document.
PostScript fonts: Generally, a typeface has one screen font document with the various styles and separate documents for each printer font file as a vector drawing. If the typeface has many styles, e.g., light, roman, book, heavy, demibold, bold, extra bold, etc. then the manufacturer may create a few screen font documents.
Here’s an Apple doc about Font Formats
Although, Apple, Microsoft and other organizations say that the two type formats can work together in OS X, in my experience, TrueType fonts are trouble in Quark XPress documents. I do not have the expertise to explain the technical aspects, but Quark is a graphics application different from a wordprocess application. Printing Quark docs goes through a raster imaging process and many non-postscript printers can “emulate” postscript but they are not true PostScript. For example, kerned text may not print the same if different types of fonts are used. Some TrueType fonts may have the same name as PostScript fonts which can create a conflict as to which one the printer uses. I am not sure how ID numbers are assigned to truetype fonts. I think that each postscript printer font has its own ID number.
To learn more about fonts, Kurt Lang has great information on Font Management.
A couple of things you might do are: (a) check for duplicate fonts with your font management application, e.g., Font Book, Suitcase, FontExplorer etc. and (b) clear your font cache with Font Finagler or Font Nuke.
With respect to your document having RGB and CMYK images…generally, in the “high-end” lithography industry, all color photos have to be CMYK because those are printing press ink colors. RGB are not ink colors. So, I wonder if when the Quark PDF converter identifies a CMYK image, it then expects to find either a postscript or opentype font and when it does NOT it substitutes…

Font Management Software for PC

Hi folks, I'm new to the adobe forums so excuse me if this question is redundant. I was wondering if anyone here knows of something like font suitcase for windows that lets you activate and deactivate fonts but a less expensive/free version Help is much appreciated!!

If you want a round-up of the many options for Windows, see this blog post I did when I was back at Adobe a couple of years ago. Some of the details of versions are going to be off, but for identifying the cheaper options and getting a few ideas of what they're like, it might be helpful:
http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2007/10/win_font_mgmt.html
Of course, now that I'm the product manager for font solutions at Extensis, I'd rather you bought our brand-new Suitcase Fusion 2 for Windows, which is pretty cool.
Cheers,

When I try and export from pages to word I get an unknown error. No font issues that I know of.

I used to be able to export documents from pages to word. Things seemed to have changed after Lion. Whenever I go to export to Word, I get "an unknown error has occurred". I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue. It's a brand new document with Helvetica as the only font.
Thanks, chadrs

I'm unaware of such change.
May you send the Pages document to my mailbox ?
Click my blue name to get my address.
I would check the way it behaves on my own system.
This way we would know if the culprit is the doc or your system.
You wrote "I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue."
Must I understand that you trashed the fonts cache file dedicated to iWork ?
If you didn't (what I assume), trash it for see.
This file is :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
For safe I repeat that under Lion, to reach this Library folder we must press the option key while opening the menu "Go to" to be able to trigger the menu item "Library".

Yahoo mail display - Action buttons like reply, delete, forward, and colors do not display. The "clear cache" solution does not help.

The above sums it up. What used to be prompts for action are now small boxes with number and an alphabet letter. I used the "clear the cache" and the "allow pages to use their own font" solutions; neither one worked. This included re-booting after I tried the solution.

Oops, posted too fast.
Some other users have reported this problem persisting allowing pages to choose their own fonts. Is it possible that you are blocking downloadable fonts? You can check the about:config preferences editor here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the '''gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled''' preference is bold and user set to false, double-click it to restore the default value of true.

Adobe Font Folio 11 for Mobile Devices

Hi,
I wonder if it is allowed to embed any font from Adobe Font Folio 11 family to use in a paid mobile application. If not, could anyone please give me a suggestion on the best font solution for a multi-language mobile application?
Thanks in advance,
Genc

I don't believe you have the right to embed a font into a device or its application for your use. Into a pdf used on the device no problem. Raster the images of letters also no problem.

Text inversed in the smart form table

Dear all,
I'm new in ABAP and working on a smart form which has a cell in table shows an article description in both Arabic & English
but the Arabic text appears in reversed sequence in the print preview and after printing it shows like this ##### #########.
any idea how to solve this problem
thanks

Hello,
Please see the following SAP Note about printing Arabic:
587150 - Support of Arabic-script languages
For your Unicode system, then you should be able to print Arabic
characters via device type ARSWIN or device type SWINCF.
The Unicode cascading fonts solution with the device type SWINCF
described in the following SAP Note:
812821 - Cascading Font settings
So you need to configure a Frontend output device that uses device type
ARSWIN and use this to create the print with the Arabic characters.

David

How do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode

Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
Can you please advise?

HI MIKE
Thanks again for your reply and your help with this.
I've downloaded the barcode font from the link you supplied.
I've tried three tests - and seem much closer to getting what we need. But I've come up against a couple of issues.
TEST 1 - almost just to see if the downloaded font worked, I simply data merged our source csv file and applied the downloaded barcode font to the serial number in ID. Probably unsurprisingly, this produced a perfectly printed barcode - that wouldn't scan.
TEST 2 - I manually added asterisks before and after the serial number in the first couple of fields and then tried the same process as TEST 1. It produced a perfectly printed barcode which this time DID scan correctly - but obviously the barcode had asterisks on it which I don't want. I just want the serial number. And with thousands of serial numbers we need the addition of the asterisks to happen automatically (which is where your text editor process seems the perfect solution, if we could get that to work).
TEST 3 - Noting your comments about using parenthesis around the serial number, I followed your example of (123456). But Excel won't let me type a parenthesis. It lets me type the parenthesis but then instantly substitutes it with a - (hyphen) before the number in the actual serial number cell and no character at all after the number.
If you have any suggestions or solutions for any of the above they'd be gratefully received! Thanks again for all your help with this.
Kind regards
Rob

How to maintain QR Code & BAR Code in SAP Script and Smart Form ?

I want to place QR code (Quick Response Code) and Bar Code In my invoice . I searched from many resources but i couldn't get any appropriate answer . So , Please help me to solve this problem.

Hello,
SAP Note 1557674 - "Overview of bar code printing from SAP" shows the 5 possibilities how barcodes can be printed from SAPScripts and SmartForms.
In your case the following possiblities can help:
DIMM/SIMM module: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a DIMM/SIMM module to your printer. Then you can send the command sequence from the SAPScript/SmartForm to this module, and the barcode will be printed. (The command sequence should be described in the manual book of the module.)
barcode.dll file: in this solution you need to additionally purchase and install a barcode.dll file, which will handle the barcodes. Please note: this solution only works with SAPWIN Device Types (and therefore only on Windows OS). The command sequence should be also described in the manual.
New bar code technology: in this case R/3 creates the barcode itself, and the barcode will be forwarded as a simple image to the printer. Unfortunately QR code can not be created with this solution - according to SAP Note 1557674 the following barcodes can be created:
Code39, Code93, Interleaved 2of5, Code128, PDF417.
(There are 2 further solutions in the mentioned Note, but the "bar code font" solution can not be used for 2D barcodes like QR code, and the "PDF-based form" solution means that SAPScript and SmartForm can not be used).
Alternatively, here is a document which explains how QR codes can be displayed in SmartForms with alternative solutions:
How to create a QR code and show it in a Smartform

Illustrator File Will Not Open - Error message "Object label badly formatted"

I have been working on a large image file for one of my classes; it has many layers and custom swatches, no text. I work on Creative Cloud at home, CS6 at school, and I think I had my .ai file saved under legacy file format CS4 trying to be safe (because I was not sure of my school's version and I have had a lot of problems accessing my files at school because of the version differences). I have been working on it back and forth between computers for quite a while, and today--while I had the image on my computer recently--it says "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties: Object label badly formatted" if I try to open it.
I have tried: updating Adobe Illustrator; creating a new AI document and "placing" the file into it; opening the file in Acrobat (the file opened, which was a step...but it only showed a tiny portion of the artwork and left the rest blank. Under the tools, however, it still showed the image had 15 layers (under the layer menu)--and it had them marked them as "visible"--but there wasn't anything I could do to actually view them; I tried copy/pasting into illustrator from Acrobat; opening in Acrobat and "saving as" a PDF (it said "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading the document (111)"; and I just did a system restore hoping that could exorcise the demons--but no such luck so far.
Do you have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom and support you might have...and chocolate.
Thanks for reading this.

We now understand the problem, and are testing a solution. Here's my current understanding of all the elements of this issue.
CAUSE: The problem occurs in an interaction between Illustrator CS4, Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, and having an Illustrator document with one or more text boxes, containing text, which is *completely* off the artboard—not even the bounding box is touching the artboard. *Additionally*, there must also be at least one text box, with text in it, which is *on* the artboard (even so much as having the bounding box partly on the artboard is sufficient, again). When these conditions are met, saving the document *may* (but does not always) cause the problem.
PROBLEM: Attempting to open an affected document in Illustrator CS4 fails, with an "object label badly formatted" error. The problem can occur with older illustrator documents opened in CS4, as well as native CS4 documents.
UNAFFECTED: Despite any speculation in this thread, this problem does not affect Photoshop, nor has it occurred with any version of Extensis Suitcase older than Suitcase Fusion 2 v13.2, which shipped about eight days ago.
SOLUTION: The problem should be resolved by a 13.2.1 dot release. Although things could be delayed if we find something unexpected in testing, we currently expect to have the fix available this week, probably tomorrow (Thursday).
DOCUMENT RECOVERY: Extensis can fix any Illustrator CS4 document which exhibits this problem. For now, contact Extensis tech support if you need help with recovering any such Illustrator document. Be prepared to send tech support the affected Illustrator file(s). You can use the online contact form at http://www.extensis.com/en/support/contact_prod_support.jsp, or call tech support at 1-503-274-7030.

Printing checks with CheckMagic

I use Quickbooks and a program called CheckMagic to print my own checks on blank check stock. I have been doing it for years with any number of operating systems and HP laserject printers. Now I have a Vista operating system and a new HP P1006 printer (which is going back because it's so cheap and flimsy). My problem with it, besides it's so junky, is that when I try to print checks it doesn't print the MICR characters for routing and account numbers; it just prints alpha numeric characters. I'm trying to find out if I'm going to have the same problem with a better new printer. (This is very frustrating when you're trying to print paychecks! Employees have absolutely no sense of humor about not getting their checks!)

Have you seen this? --> LaserJet MICR Font solutions.
Do you have the proper MICR font for your printer installed?
read this to get a better understanding of Secure check MICR printing.

Backwards hebrew in text input

I'm making a 'contact us' page for my website.
the website is in hebrew.
the problem is, when ppl try to write something, the words get wreten in backwards.
for example:
hello I am Tal
=
Tal am I Hello
(But in hebrew)
what can I do to fix it?

There is a Middle Eastern version of Dreamweaver CS5-ME
which handles right-to-left and left-to-right text formating. It functions
just like English version, doing everything English version does
PLUS ability to handle many more languages, including Hebrew
Arabic and other languages. You can open existing English file
within the ME version, so you can continue where you are now.
Another option, which only requires specially encoded Hebrew Fonts.
This involves using existing software and adding these fonts. This
solution is for limited Hebrew work, not long paragraphs. You type
"a" for Aleph, "b" for Bet and so on. However, no right-to-left support
so you have to enter text backwards or using left arrow key between
characters -easy solution but not intended for extended Hebrew text.
Two solutions. TOP option, visit
http://www.fontworld.com/me/dreamweaverme.html
For the limited Hebrew Font solution, also by FontWorld.com
Hope this helps you

Muse export as HTML (bug?)

After I have exported my site to HTML: then all the text are changed in jpg / png . I don't want that: text should stay as text. How can I do so in Muse?

THNX but it's strange that the headers (same font) are doing well. They are not converted to .jpg
How can I covert my site quickly from computer to ipad or telephone?
