Century Gothic incorrect display

Not sure if this is an Illustrator or Acrobat question!? I created a document in Illustrator CS6 using the font Century Gothic. I converted the text to outlines then saved the document as a PDF. When the document is viewed in Acrobat Pro or Reader, the lowercase letter "L" does not display properly. It's as if the pixel depth is not granular enough, so it increases the width of the letter. If I zoom in past 200% the letter seems to display properly, but anything below that it displays oddly. I sent the exact same file to my DropBox account, downloaded it onto my iPad (retina) and the letters look just fine; same with my iPhone.
Screenshot: http://www.purpleproof.com/downloads/century_gothic.png
Note: This happens whether I create/view on my Mac or my PC. Additionally, if I do not convert to outlines, the font displays just fine. Regardless of the display, the document always prints correctly. I've experienced this since CS3, but never cared too much since most of my documents were for print only. Now many of my docs will be viewed rather than printed, therefor proper display rendering is a much bigger issue.
Any thoughts?

This is a well-known failing of outlined sans serif type and not much you can do about it.
However it looks o.k. when you zoom in as far as you can go and will print o.k. too.
Just looks nasty on screen.

Century gothic displays in adobe reader 8 and not in 9

Hi
I have created a pdf using adobe livecycle and i have set the address font in my header to Century Gothic. When i view the doc in Adobe reader 8, it shows it exactly the way i want. When i view it in adobe 9, it has changed to arial. Why is this happening? and how can i prevent it from changing when viewed in the different versions of adobe reader?
Also, it doesnt make sense to say that the font is supported in adobe 8 and NOT in 9. Surely capability should be backward compatible?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Fatima

Hi Hitender
The document does not show the correct font in Adobe Reader 9.0. We have now downgraded our adobe reader on the server where we are printing the docs from. We have tried installing the font onto that server but that was also unsuccessful.
Please let me know if you have any advice for my problem.
Thanks

Problems with Century Gothic font with Mavericks

I use Century Gothic font quite frequently & since updating to Mavericks, the larger text is distorted. Any suggestions on how I can sort out this problem?
Here is a screenshot of size 36 & 12 - 12 displays fine, 36 is distorted & unreadable!
Thanks for your help
Lynn

Hi, Viking,
Could you please clarify where the font should be saved to? Where do I find the "login directory/Library/Fonts folder"? (sorry if this is a dumb question.)
I just installed Mavericks and Century Gothic displays and prints properly in other applications but not in iWeb. It shows up in iWeb in the fonts panel but it doesn't display correctly. Century Gothic is in my Font Book.
Thanks for your help!

Report in Crystal 10 incorrectly displays rows when it shouldn't

We have a problem in Crystal Reports 10 whereby the report incorrect displays 6 rows/records in the report but when we run the exact same SQL statement on its own (outside of Crystal) it does not bring back any results.
Clare

That didn't work either. I'm still getting the wrong timestamp.
But, I did try something else, with more unexpected results. Just for the heck of it, I exported my workbook to excel (the workbook showing the 12:00 AM timestamps). When I opened the Excel file, it has the Archive Date with the correct times. Very strange. I export the workbook with all 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM timestamps in every Archive Date row, and in Excel it opens with the correct dates (17-NOV-09 10:15, 10:18 and 10:23 AM). So weird.
That seems to reinforce that Discoverer can at least see the dates as they exist in the data warehouse, but for some reason, it insists on displaying 12:00 AM. And exporting the 12:00 AM results to Excel actually produces the correct times. Is this like some Java bug or something? I seem to get bit by Java problems more often than not.
***EDIT***
I shouldn't say your suggestion didn't work entirely. It worked in that I am no longer getting 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM. But, it's returning a timestamp that does not exist for the given record. For example, all 3 Nov 17th timestamps (in the Discoverer report) are now showing 17-NOV-09 10:11 AM. 10:11 AM isn't even a timestamp available in the database for any record in the table. Why did it arbitrarily pick 10:11? It seems like your suggestion to create a TO_CHAR calculation from the column is on the right track, but the 10:11 AM thing is odd.

Purchase orders item texts incorrect display

Hi everyone,
i am having a bit of a hard time solving an incorrect display of purchase orders item texts.
For an unknown reason, i can't manage to modify the item's text of a purchase order, it's as it has been set on "display".
I checked AKTH, ME21,ME21N and PT0F( the item i use) on spro :
Materials Management=>Purchasing =>Purchase Order= > Define Screen Layout at Document Level => Reference data item for the texts and it's always set on Optionnal Entry.
I even tried to set them on Requested Entry but i didn't manage to get the text-item field modified.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Siidou

Yes i did, thanks.
I found the answer: when the item-text is set on Requested Entry, sap considers it as if it was set on dispalay.
I set the item text in AKTH, ME21,ME21N and PT0F on OPptional entry and i can modify it again.

1.5.1 Opening File in PlsqlNode incorrectly displays a default connection

SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40, JDK 1.6.0_04, Win XP SP 2
I have just noticed that opening a file as a PlsqlNode (based on file type preferences) displays a default connection (the connection for the current tab). However, when compiling, you are prompted to select which connection you want to run against - ie there is no connection associated with the editor. This happens regardless of how you open the file (File > Open, Open toolbar button, Ctrl-O, double click in Files navigator).
This does not happen for SQL Script file types, where no connection is displayed on opening them.

Century gothic font problem with pages 09

I have a document using century gothic with Pages 09 on an Intel Mac with the most recent Snow Leopard upgrade. It looks and prints fine. When I transfer this document to another computer with pages 09 the century gothic font is missing and pages asks if I want to replace with another font. What can I do? I need century gothic. This second computer is a G4 so it has the most recent version of Leopard. I need to use this G4 to print large quantities.
I have all of the fonts loaded onto this computer using the Leopard extras installer DVD. Century gothic is not one of the included fonts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have Century Gothic on the Intel mac probably because of numerous Adobe products on the Intel Mac. If I load say Photoshop on the G4 mac then maybe Pages will recognize Century gothic once this font is loaded onto the G4. I converted the document to a PDF and then tried to print from the G4. It almost worked but the last line in the document get it's lower half chopped off. Any suggestion?

Just copy the font from one computer to the other.

I need the font style century gothic for a project im working on, but neither my final cut pro x nor my photoshop have this font style. Where do you get/buy new fonts?

Not on this list.
Maybe it gets installed with something else? For example, I have MS Ofiice on the 10.7 system but not on the others.

Incorrect display of punctuation (parentheses, periods) in .PDF forms.

The .PDF file attached here was downloaded from the US Department of Homeland Security. I need to fill in this form with Adobe Reader 9.1.3, but some of the punctuation is displayed and printed incorrectly positioned.
For example, in Section A of the form the line that should show "Family Name (Last Name)" shows "(Family Name (Last Name". It seems that when a line ends with a Closing Parenthesis, that parenthesis character appears at the BEGINNING of the line instead of where it should be--at the end of that line.
In some cases this happens also with the Period (.) character, as can be seen in Part 2 of this form. Perhaps this phenomenon is related to a bug in Adobe Reader while operating in an environment where Hebrew is activated in Windows XP Professional (SP3), which is my case, even though the form itself has no Hebrew content.
I have tried all possible combinations of the Edit --> Preferences --> International; that is:
Application Language
Default Reading Direction
Enable right-to-left language options
Select Font
but to no avail.

Incorrect display of HTML document in UWL

Hi experts,
we are using SRM 5.0 with UWL integration. If a workitem is rejected the requestor gets a notification in his SAP Business Workplace (SBWP). This notification contains a link to the SRM shopping cart.
The notification is also available in the UWL, but there all HTML tags are visible. It seems that in this case the UWL is not able to display HTML notifications properly. Are there any additional settings necessary to display the notification? Maybe currently some kind of text format is set to default.
Best regards
Tom

Hi Manish,

Incorrect Display of Time by Portal Report

Any assistance would be much appreciated:
Portal report display of a date field using MM-DD-
YYYY:HH24:SS:MI is off by 12 hours. Select of same field and
mask via SQL*Plus looks okay.
Thanks in advance,
- LTG

Chetan,
Thanks for responding... I'm not sure I follow your suggestion...
Here is some more info about the problem.
I used the Portal "Reports From Query Wizard" to create a
tabular report from a pretty simple db table containing an
Oracle date field. In the Column Formatting window I entered MM-
DD-YYYY:HH24:MI:SS for the format mask for the Oracle date
field. When I run the report, the Oracle date field is
displayed with an incorrect time (18:52:20 is displayed as
06:52:20). An Sql*Plus query using to_char(timestamp,'MM-DD-
YYYYY HH24:MI:SS') displays the correct time.
I attempted to put to_char(timestamp,'MM-DD-YYYYY HH24:MI:SS')
into the format mask for the Oracle date field in the Column
Formatting screen (instead of MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS). No
apparent effect.
Did I follow your suggestion correctly? Is there something more
to do? Please advise?
Thanks,
Len Greenberg

Incorrect Display of Totals (Urgent ! Plz Assist)

Hi everyone,
Please help me out as this is very urgent at the moment.
   When I display
   PLANT
   STORAGE LOC
   WAREHOUSE NO
   PROFIT CENTRE
   MATERIAL
   No of Bins -> 7338.6821235
   When I display the same report just with
   PROFIT CENTRE
   No of Bins -> 7099.809557752
   WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ?
   I suspect because No of Bins is based on a Formula variable that uses Replacement Path of Attribute MATERIAL.
So when MATERIAL is not displayed in the Report then it will not accurately display the results.
Any views on this please ? What can I do otherwise ?

Hi Ganesh
   I can`t change this "precision" because No of Storage Bins is a Calculated Key Figure which is based on a Formula Variable that uses Replacement Path of tyep Attribute
Even I change this to Before Aggregation it does work.
Should I try making this as a navigational attribute in my cube.
Then will I still face this problem ?

Incorrect display of line thickness

Not sure if I should post this in the Acrobat-Mac or Acrobat-Windows forum, as I've looked at it on both platforms... we're mostly a Mac-based shop, so I've leaned that way.
Someone here created an ad in Illustrator. It uses Stone Sans, but they've converted all the fonts to outlines (as we sometimes to do with output, just to avoid font issues once the file goes out the door). But there's something weird about it. The ad looks perfectly fine in Illustrator (CS3, 13.0.2 with all the latest CS3 updates) or in Apple's Preview program. But if you look at it in Acrobat Pro (8.1.3), virtually every occurrence of the lowercase "l" in the add is overly thick. Reminder -- these really aren't lowercase "l" figures anymore -- they're outlines!
I've reviewed the original Illustrator files and all the outlines have the same stroke (none) and the same overprint settings. I printed the PDF to a laser printer and it *appears* to look okay... but I'm reluctant to send the ad file out like this.
I've looked at the PDF in Acrobat Pro 8.1.3 on the Mac (on both Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.6), and also checked it out in Acrobat Reader 9 on Windows (Vista SP1). I think the problem may possibly be on-screen only. It appears the closer you zoom in, the less prominent the problem appears. At 100%, it's very obvious. At 200%, it's still apparent but not quite as bad. At 400%, you have to look specifically at the "l" characters and then you'll notice it. At 800% I'm no longer sure if there's a difference but it appears it might be off by a fraction. At 1600% I cannot perceive any problem at all.
I've posted the original Illustrator file and the matching PDF at my website if anyone wants to take a peek at these.
http://www.fortbailey.com/acrobat/badlines.eps
http://www.fortbailey.com/acrobat/badlines.pdf
I'd like to be 100% sure this is just an on-screen display issue and will not affected the printed output. Can anyone say that with certainty?

MICHAEL CULPA & PGARY: Thanks for the sage and friendly advice. It is clear to me now that I should avoid using outlines like I have in the past. I'll be meeting with our artists tomorrow to review this. However, this raises one follow-up question that I hope you can comment on.
I hope this is a 100% onscreen only issue, because there are times we still *must* convert fonts to outlines. For example, if we design a logo for a client, it's been standard practice to use outlines in the EPS because -- most often -- the user is going to want to do something like slap the logo into their letterhead and print to a PCL6 printer. They're not going to want to buy the Adobe font for all their workstations or get a PostScript printer just to deal with the fact that we used Stone Sans for their logo... in cases like this, we've converted the fonts to outlines to avoid that whole situation. And we can't give them a PDF to embed into a Word document... I'm not even sure if the most recent version of Word would do that anyway, and it'd likely make it barf (I'll blame that on Microsoft Word but whatever... it's still an issue we need to be aware of for our clients). Is there anything that can be done when converting to outlines that would be helpful?
MIKE KAZLOW: Yeah, okay, maybe this issue has been beaten to death in the forum. But I didn't just blindly post my question without looking around first. I googled for this issue. I checked Adobe's knowledgebase. I did a search on this very forum for the word "thick" and the only posting that comes up with that criteria is this one. So while this might be all over the place in the forum, I couldn't find it. It wasn't for a lack of trying.
Just because you've seen the issue over and over again doesn't mean someone else isn't running into it for the first time. I've been managing computer systems for ad agencies for more than 15 years. I've been working with computers since CP/M (the operating system that came before DOS). I've been working in desktop publishing since the Mac IIfx was the hottest system in the business. I'm sorry I'm not a mathematics professor with a technical typesetting practice -- but that doesn't make me a moron either. I only post questions in these forums when I've gone through my own extensive repertoire of computer skills to solve a problem, and that means I'm looking for help, not snide remarks about my choice of workflow or how apparently my practices -- which have worked fine for years -- are "aeons" out of date. I appreciate the help and your advice, but you should couch your responses a little less harshly.
I and other people come to these forums as a last resort. We've been wracking our brains on a given problem for hours in some cases, done all the research and workarounds we can think of, and are desperately looking for help. A better-than-thou response is really like rubbing salt in a wound... it doesn't help, and it really just makes me want to bite back. You could stand to take a cue from the other guys who responded to this issue a little more politely.
