CS2, win, loading fonts

I'm working primarily in Illustrator, but this question may pertain to all the CS2 programs.
When I first open Illustrator in the morning, I find myself waiting for what seems like 5 minutes for all my fonts to load. Is there a way to open the program without initially loading the fonts, and then load the fonts when needed?

Thanks, Richard

Type managers take font files out of the system folder (c:\windows\fonts) to a location of your choosing. (OK... not
all fonts -- some basic fonts will always remain in the system folder.)
Within the manager you will typically create 'sets' of fonts. These sets might pertain to a font family, a client, a project... you get the idea. You activate only the set(s) you need to do your work.
Some managers will automatically activate the fonts you need (e.g., for the document you just opened) on a dynamic basis.
If you properly set up your manager, therefore, Windows never sees more than a basic set of fonts that are loaded full-time. Illustrator and all other applications will only "see" those basic fonts plus those that are activated by the manager.

Set the filename in a textframe with JS in Illustrator CS2 WIN

Hello and good morning (and sorry for my bad english),
I found some possibilities to set the filename in a textframe. But only in applescript or for CS (WS-dateandtime v0.8 from Wolfgang Reszel)
b There is no JS-script, which works correctly in Illu CS2 Win.
Please, help me to get a JS-script that proper works.
Here is the code:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// english //
// -=> WR-DateAndTime <=-
// A Javascript for Adobe Illustrator
// by Wolfgang Reszel ([email protected])
// Version 0.8 from 30.8.2004 (also should work with Illustrator CS)
// This script inserts the actual date or the actual time to a
// predefined position in the document.
// To define the position, you'll have to create an textobject and
// execute this script while the object is selected. The whole object
// has to be selected and not words or letters. You can mark more
// objects, if you select each object separate and execute
// the script on it.
// With the placeholders {DATE} and {TIME} you are able to define a
// particular point, where the date or the time should be replaced.
// If there is no placeholder in the textobject
// "{FILENAME} ({DATE}, {TIME})" will be used as standard placeholders.
// To update the date and time execute this script without any object
// selected.
// There are some additional placeholders:
// {FILE} - complete document-filename with path
// {FILEPATH} - only the documents filepath
// {FILENAME} - the filename of the document
// On my system this script can't see the path of the document, when
// it was opened directly from windows Explorer (double click).
// In Illustrator CS it is now possible to edit a DateAndTime-Object.
// To enable the english messages and date-format change the "de"

Hello Steve Light,
Thanks a lot for answering me. I did it (renamed and added this two lines at new line 89 and 90 in the Script, selected Textframe and execute the jsx from Windows-Explorer) but nothing happened. Only a warning message appeared. It sayed: "You used an illustrator-12 Script " The Message is in German, I cannot to translate literally.
No filename and no date wasn't fill in textframe.
It's a great pity, the same Script runs in CS3 without problems. But I need it for CS2 :-(
What can I do?
Sorry for my bad english again.

Loaded fonts not available to apps

Running 10.6.8, using Font Agent Pro, have not had problem for past year and a half, and all of a sudden yesterday, fonts not recognized by apps. Using Quark, versions 6 - 9, Adobe Creative Suites CS3 - CS6, Word, Excel, etc. I have loaded fonts through Fontbook instead of using Font Agent Pro, I have removed caches with terminal, ran Repair Disk Permissions, Shutdown, boot in Safe Mode, everything I can think of. In Fontbook, fonts display correctly but a lot of them are not available in other Apps. For instance, Arial & Arial Bold not available, but Italic & Bold Italic are fine. I work at a commercial printer and this is killing me!

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the font installatons?

Loading fonts into FInal Cut Pro 5.0.4

Is it possible to load addtional fonts into FCP 5.0.4?
I loaded the font into all the font folders I could find and still they have not shown up in the Final Cut pro fonts? I restarted twice?
Am I missing some hidden file that I must load the fonts into?
Thanks for your help

There is no provision for loading fonts into FCP. Use FontBook to add fonts; choose to make the fonts available to all users so they'll be installed in .[boot drive]/Library/Fonts.
But even with that, FCP won't see just any font. FCP seems to be partial to TrueType Data Fork fonts.

Illustrator wont open, stops at loading fonts

I have Illustrator CS6, Mac 0Sx 10.8.5. About 2 months ago it wouldn't open and keeps stalling when loading fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice without any change. I have tried taking out fonts that it gets stalled on but then it stalls on the next font. I also use Photoshop and I'm not having an issue opening.
HELP!!!! This as been over 2 months without being able to use this program.

la allstars,
In the following list, note the Cleaner Tool in 6). The most likely/relevant items in 5) may be 1 and 11.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Loading Fonts from diff domain

Hi - When I try to load fonts from a diff domain, it loads but when I call a font.regiserfont, it throws a AS error.
In the main application, this is what I do to load the fonts.
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
var testFontloader:Loader = new Loader();
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, function(e:Event):void{
     var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("testFont") as Class;
     Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.font);
var testFontReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(model.serverLocation + ServiceURLConstants.ASSETS_PATH+"/embeddedFonts/testFont.swf");
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,CheckFontLoadComplete);
testFontloader.load(testFontReq,loaderContext);
And it throws an exception while it tries to register the font and it does not register it acutally. The main app is in code domain (domain1) and font swfs were placed in content domain (domain2)
Error is:
ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.
     at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
     at MethodInfo-778()
I tried wih diff options, as to set loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = false; but they did not bear any fruit.
This is the code to acualy embedd the font.
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.system.Security;
     import flash.text.Font;
     public class testFont extends Sprite
         Security.allowDomain("*");
         [Embed(source="/fonts/testFont.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", fontName="testFont",
             unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007F,U+00A0-U+00A3,U+00A8-U+00AB,U+00AE,U+00B4,U+00B8,U+00BB,U+00B F-U+00CF,U+00D1-U+00D6,U+00D8-U+00DC,U+00DF-U+00EF,U+00F1-U+00F6,U+00F8-U+00FC,U+00FF,U+01 31,U+0152-U+0153,U+0178,U+02C6-U+02C7,U+02DA,U+02DC-U+02DD,U+2013-U+2014,U+2018-U+201A,U+2 01C-U+201E,U+2022,U+2026,U+2030,U+2039-U+203A,U+20AC,U+2122,U+FB01,U+FB02", embedAsCFF="true")]
         public static var font:Class;
Can someone guide me on what am I doing wrong? or is it possible at all to load and register fonts from a diff domain at all? Pls let me know if you need more info. Pls treat it as urgent!!

I have not tried it, but the principle should be that you load the SWF into
the same security domain which requires that you have a crossdomain.xml file
in the right place with the right permissions. You will probably not be
able to test your configuration from urls that begin with file://. You will
have to deploy to a server and fetch via http://.
BTW, did you prove it works from the same domain. I'm not sure INIT is the
right event to wait for. I'd wait for an ENTER_FRAME after COMPLETE.

Load fonts from file

In Java I can load fonts from a file or register it:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     ge.registerFont(Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("A.ttf"));But in JavaFX this code shows the error:
cannot find symbol
symbol : function registerFont(java.awt.Font)
location: class java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment
It is probably because the registerFont method was only added in JDK 1.6
How can I register a font in JavaFX or load it from a file or create a JavaFX font from the java.awt.Font class?

I tried this but the text is not shown.
I guess it is because the font size is zero.
How can I change the font size in this case?
The code below shows an error:
def fxFont = com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit().getFontLoader().font(awtFont);
fxFont.size = 24;Main.fx:19: size has script only (default) write access in javafx.scene.text.Font
fxFont.size = 24;
1 error
My application is:
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import java.io.File;
// http://www.fontfreak.com/charactermaps/a/AajaxSurrealFreak.htm
def path = "D:/Download/Browser/temp/AAJAX.TTF";
def awtFont = java.awt.Font.createFont(java.awt.Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File(path));
def fxFont = com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit().getFontLoader().font(awtFont);

Loading font from external *.swf

So!
I have 3 movies.
1)Main movie - index.swf
2)Movie with created & checked in linkadge "Export for
runtime sharing" fonts in library - fonts.swf
3)movie with text fields which need embeded fonts to work in
a proper way. Fonts in the library checked in linkage as "import
for runtime sharing" - content.swf
What happens:
I strike CTRL+ENTER and run movie index.swf.
on the (for ex.) 10 frame it loads fonts.swf with
movieClipLoader class..
then in the same way on (for ex.) 100 frame, i load content
swf
BUT!!! before it starts loading process IT DOWNLOADS FONT.swf
again
SO HOW DO I PRELOAD fonts from external *.swf..
maybe there is yhe way without using runtime sharing..
but i've heard that loaded whith movieClipLoader movies don't
adds objects from their library to main movie liblary...
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

can you give your erroe source code,and then i will give you the success code.
in the function
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {}
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
use like this:
var EMClass:Class=loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
then you can new a instance :
var emInstance:Object=new EMClass();
emInstance.alert("hello word");
and we also can use other method. so email me [email protected]

PS CS2, Win, D Ebenen Navigation per Shortcut

Ich hätte eine Anfrage bzgl. einer (geänderten) Tastenkombination in Adobe Photoshop CS2 (WIN, Deutsch). Um in Aktionen relative Ebenenverweise nutzen zu können, muss ich mich per Tastaturshortcut in der Ebenepalette nach oben/unten bewegen können. Diese Tastenkombination dürfte in der englischen Version von PS CS2 Alt+ [ bzw. Alt + ] sein. Bei der deutschen Version ist es mit allerdings noch nicht gelungen die entsprechende Funktion zu entdecken. Die Aktivierung der obersten/untersten Ebene funktioniert per Tastaturkürzel Alt + , bzw. Alt + . allerdings.
Über eine baldige Antwort und Aufklärung wäre ich sehr dankbar!
Beste Grüßen,

Hallo Tim,
genau das suche ich auch. Bist Du fündig geworden?

Illustrator cc 2014 crash loading fonts on mac osx 10.9.5

Hello,
I'm trying to open illustrator cc 2014 and its crashes right after loading fonts...
Any ideas?
Regards,

Chuchi,
You may try to have a look at the list, maybe especially items 1) and 11) under 5).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Loaded font missing in Photoshop CS6

Loaded font active by opening file but while editing suddenly not active anymore. Photoshop therefore gives an error and refuses to save the file.
Fonts are not used in smart layers.
Working with Mac OS 10.6.8 and for fontmanagement Linotype FontExplorer X pro 3.5.4.
Please, any suggestions?

Right, i'll do that. Problem is with multiple fonts, so... I thought maybe using windows truetype and other fonts? It looks to me there is a font id conflict. Also by researching the adobe forums I see the same problem mostly by windows users.
Problem is that the fontmanagement program after checking nothing says about fontconflicts.
