CS5.1 Missing fonts - converted to outline

Hello, I have PC with Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 installed.
Problem:
I had to open eps file, where is font Obelix Far East, which I don't have and needs to be replaced to Myriard.
When I open this eps, all Obelix's words are automaticaly converted to outlines.
original:
CS5.5 - immedatelly after opening:
Is any way to prevent convert words? I can see it first time, because before CS5.5 I used only CS4 and there was no problem with this. I simply replaced missing font for the known one and that's it...
Thank you very much for any idea.
Regards...Ilja

like maybe I hit some odd key command that made it all go away but I've been unable to get anywhere.
Yes that is the case, you accidentally must have hit the cmd + T key and now you have set Bridge to show only thumbnails.
Under the menu view you will see a checkmark in front of the option: "show thumbnail only" . Click on it again to deselect or hit again cmd + T (on a Mac) and you get back to the normal situation

  • Problem with fonts converted to outlines

    In CS5, when I convert a font to an outline.  The stroke and fill is lost and is no longer editable.  Obviously, in this instance, I need to edit both in the resulting outlines, but am unable to do so.  Anyone have any help to offer?

    Do you still have the vector paths after creating outline?
    If so then create a graphic style(to save all your strokes/fills, then convert to outlines, then apply the graphic style.
    You may have these appearance attributes asssigned on the type(on some strange combination of charachter, type, group level), but after it going to outlines Illustrator gets confused and assigns none.
    If you have vector paths you could reassign your file & stroke attribute, then graphic style will just back up your hard work.

  • AI CS5 missing font

    The font Bickham Script Pro has completely disappeared.  It is not listed in my Type Fonts and any document previously made with this Font says it does not exist and will have to substitute a different Font.  It is not in Trash.  How do I retrieve this Font?

    1812,
    That rather depends on how you got it in the first place. You may have to repeat that.

  • Can fonts in a PDF be converted to outlines with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Acrobat Pro 9.....Sometimes I get a PDF that I will have to do some edits to.  Because I dont have some of the fonts used, I cant edit the file without losing the fonts used.  Is there a way to have Acrobat maybe resave itself with all the fonts converted to outlines so this wont be a problem along with any othe font errors I may get?

    Converting fonts to outlines is frowned upon do to the loss of font hinting, loss of editability, and inherant fattening of the font.
    In your seat, you have to do what has to be done.

    I may have read that this hack is not working in CS5 or 5.5
    Place the pdf into InDesign. Create a box or small stroke on the page, in the case of non native ID elements (this pdf) the object needs to touch/overlap the pdf. Color the object, perhaps .1% black, apply transparency to it, as little as 1%. You effectivly have something unseeable, but will force the Transparency Flattener to kick in.
    Create a new Transparency Flattener Setting, see my example,
    Check the effect with the Flattener Panel, see my example

  • Can't Outline Missing Fonts in PDF When 'Illustrator Editing' Feature is On

    I've got an unusual problem with a supplied PDF File that uses fonts I don't have.
    Normally I'd place the PDF into Illustrator and use 'Flatten Transparency' with the 'Convert Fonts To Outlines' option to create vectors for the missing fonts. However this particular PDF file seems to have been saved with the 'Preserve Illustrator Editing' setting, so when I place it into Illustrator the illustrator data is read and I get live artwork - with the fonts replaced - instead of something I can work with, meaning that I can't replicate the type I need.
    I've tried importing the PDF into inDesign and resaving as a new PDF - but Illustrator is not fooled by this clumsy and desparate ruse, and again treats the file as editable artwork with the missing fonts replaced.
    How can I force Illustrator to ignore the editable capabilities of the file and just convert the fonts to outlines?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    K

    Thats quite garbled - but I think I've decoded your spasmodic keyboard mashing:
    evershowed = ever showed?
    fesature  = feature?
    red = read?
    whn = when?
    throough = through?
    questi = question?
    effeciently = efficiently?
    remarksjust = remarks just?
    becaued = because?
    injesting = suggesting? injecting? requesting??
    Now who looks 'lazy'? How old are you? I'm guessing that you are a child or a teenager?

    I'm crushed. Inconsolable. I expect you'll probably have to look that last word up.
    Wade_Zimmerman said: And if you wish tutorials on typing I suggest doing a search on google.
    I know how to type and can spell reasonably well too - what's your excuse for sounding like a rude, idiotic, uneducated child? By the way, 'Google' is a special word - it is what's known as a proper noun - so it gets a big 'g' at the start. Cool eh?

  • Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

    Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
    Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
    Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)

  • Can I use Type -- 'convert to outline' in Illustrator on Typekit fonts I've 'designated for desktop use'? I've not been able to as of yet.

    I'm trying to print vinyl letters for a gallery I'm a member of and love the Cronos Pro regular font. i've designated this for desktop use and created 24 name files at 200pt. The person working with the vinyl asked if I could 'convert to outline' possibly to make the font a bit larger, I don't really know. When I tried to do this, I found that choice grayed out on the type menu. I am wondering if this means the Typekit fonts 'designated for desktop use' simply do not have the permission to be 'converted to outline'.

    Cutting always requires proper paths/ outlines. This has nothing to do with the font or large format printing per se. Beyond that there should be no limitation in using fonts - as long as you can mangle them in AI, it means that somewhere those outlines exist internal to the program so the type can actually be rendered. Whatever prevents this may more likely be inherent in how you treat your text. you would have to provide more specific info on that. Either way, ask in the AI forum for more detailed answers.

  • Flash CS5.5 - font outlines still get embeded while using runtime sharing

    I have a project where I use several SWFs and have the fonts outlines stored into a seperate SWF. Within the .fla file's I have checked the Import for runtime sharing with the various font definitions.
    In the library the linkage part shows for every font the Import: classname
    To get a correct idea how things look within the IDE, I've checked several character ranges within the font properties so the preview renders correctly.
    In Flash CS5 everything was working correctly; no font outline was included within the SWF. The size report also shows this.
    When I create the SWF with Flash CS5.5 font outlines of the selected ranges still get embedded into the SWF. The file size of the SWF is much larger and the font outline information shows up in the size report.
    Anyone has a solution for this problem?

    I've just stepped into the same problem. Quick analysis of SWF content showed that all "import" tags have been removed and replaced by "font" tags (sometimes empty (empty - meaning no glyphs are there), sometimes not). I am publishing SWFs for Flash 8/ AS 2.0, thus, the SWFs should be FULLY compatible with old players. Technically speaking, importing of fonts is totally busted in CS5.5 and makes the CS5.5 completely unusable for us.
    Seems VERY much like a nasty bug. I am going to play a bit more with it in order to find a workaround. If not - I'll go back to CS5. I really hope Adobe will fix this bug ASAP. I have submitted a bug report about this issue.
    A bit more info about repro the issue: create font.fla and export font $Font from it. Create the second fla (main.fla) that imports the font $Font from  the font.swf. Publish all the swfs. Look inside the main.swf and instead of "ImportAsset" tag for font you'll see the regular "Font" tag (like it was never imported). However, the "ExportAsset" tag exists in font.swf and it looks completely fine.

  • Replace missing font with font of my choice in Photoshop CS5

    I'm using Photoshop CS5. How can I replace all instances of a missing font with a font of my choice?

    I am having the same problem. From what I read around the web, there is supposed to be a dialogue box which opens to ask which font you want to use. I don't get a dalogue box, it simply replaces the missing fonts automatically with Myriad Pro without asking which font I want to use. If anyone knows how to get the dialogue box to appear, I'd appreciate the help.
    I am using CC.
    Thanks!

  • [AS][CS5] Find and replace a missing font

    I have an overly complex script that compares the document's fonts missing fonts to the system fonts and makes a best guess. It was written to handle conversion of Multi-ad Creator documents to InDesign. It has worked 100% of the time so far. It needs a LOT of cleaning up and tweaking to make effecient, but that is not the point of my question. Everyday I am sent an InDesign file I have to work with and everyday it will has a missing font. Arial (OTF).
    I ran my script thinking it would replace it with Arial (TT). No problem...
    Ran it... nothing.
    When I use the find dialog in Indesign to search based on the applied font it works, the returned properties in AS contain:
    return properties of find text preferences
    font:"Arial (OTF)"
    Ok, fine so I try...
    set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to "Arial (OTF)"
        set applied character style of change text preferences to "Page&Header"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    Nothing.
    This has pretty much worked on every other font I've tried, so what am I doing wrong here?

    All right, back at it....
    I've run into even more fonts that it is an issue with. My basic thoughts on this are as follows: When bringing a document from Multi-ad Creator to InDesign the fonts are named in a way that InDesign does not recognize them. The thing is those fonts are really fonts that are on my system. It is simply a matter of rearranging the name of the applied font to match what InDesign would recognize. The thing is InDesign will allow me to use Find/Change to modify the fonts in the document.
    Now the fonts I've run across that give me an issue are fonts that do not correspond to any font on my system. I do not have any TrueType fonts, this document I opened today did...
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
            return properties of every font
        end tell   
    end tell
     {{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:3, name:"Times (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Roman", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Times (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}}
    Ok, so let me try this (commented out are the different ways I've tried):
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
              --return properties of "Helvetica (TT)" --"Helvetica (TT)     Bold"
            return properties of font "Helvetica (TT)" -- "Helvetica (TT)   Bold"
            set myDocumentFonts to name of every font
        end tell
    end tell
    Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Unable to retrieve the font's UID from its name.
    I was able to get the properties of the font using:
    return properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}
    Now I thought of trying the following:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    Now this does result in something, the find of the Find/Change dialog is looking for Helvetica + Bold. The only problem with that is it isn't looking for the TT font.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myfind to properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        end tell
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to name of myfind
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    And nothing happens.. other than it trying to search for Helvetica + Bold
    I'll try some other ideas later when I have more time.

  • Outline missing fonts in an INDESIGN

    Is there any way to outline the missing fonts in an InDesign client file so it doesn't mess up the layout?
    I have tried to replace some of the missing fonts but not the same version so the text layout is affected.
    Any suggestions?

    And to add a postscript (not a PostScript) to this discussion, even if you had the fonts to provide the outlines, outlining text is really a bad idea for any number of reasons including (1) inability to subsequently edit the text in InDesign, (2) much lower print and display quality due to lack of font hinting (geometric scaling with outlines as opposed to intelligent scaling with fonts), and (3) inability to search and/or do text touch-up in Acrobat.
    Ironically, some really misguided print service providers act like Luddites, requiring customers to outline all text. Adobe strongly recommends against this practice!!!

    Illustrator is a lot more pickier about fonts than those two. And Freefonts are known to get into trouble with Illustrator.
    From what I can see on Dafont the font isn't a bitmap font.
    Do you use font management? Try installing the font without font management.

  • Missing Fonts in Illustrator CS5

    In the font pull down menu I have fonts displayed with "< >" symbols on the sides. I assume this means that illustrator thinks the font is missing or it has replaced the font or both? The font is loaded in Suitcase Fusion 3 (the only font management software on my MAC Pro) and it is activated. So why does these < > symbols still appear? How can I get rid of them? What is the font issue?

    unclefester67 wrote:
    so the "< >" symbols around the font name is actually just a way of telling that they are "Symbol" fonts. They are in fact not missing or have been replaced?
    The bottommost font is not a Symbol font. I think it just indicates that the name of the font is not in that font itself (all other font names are), because the font does not contain Latin characters.
    Missing fonts show up in square brackets [Like This] in InDesign, at the very top of the font list, and I think it's the same for Illy.

  • Upgraded to CC from CS5.5 now all Illustrator templates have a 'missing font' (myraid-Italic). How can I fix this without replacing the font?

    Replacing the font is not an option. This would mean resaving thousands of company files.
    Also, none of the templates use Myraid Italic. They were created with Myraid Roman.
    This has never been an issue when upgrading to other versions of Illustrator.
    Every file I open will pop-up with the missing font notice; this is very annoying when checking numerous files (I have to click okay everytime for the file to load).

    I actually have a fairly simple solution to this for Windows 7.  Don't mess with your registry or delete other fonts. Go into c:/windows/fonts.  Check to see that you have the set of fonts "Segoe UI".  Inside this set are 6 Segoe fonts:
    Regular (segoeui)
    Regular Italic (segoeuii)
    Bold (segoeuib)
    Bold Italic (segoeuiz)
    Semi Bold (seguisb)
    Light (segoeuil)
    You may not have them arranged in a set, but just check that you have all of them.
    Make sure programs (i.e iTunes) are closed.
    If you don't have the fonts, find them on the internet, ask a friend to copy and paste them, send them to you etc.  They are easy and free to get.  Download them to your desktop.  Right click each one and "Install".
    If you already have them in your fonts folder (my problem) do this:  COPY (not cut) them from your c:/windows/fonts folder to your desktop.  Close windows explorer.  From your desktop, right click each one and "Install".  You will get a message that they are already installed and do you want to install a newer version or some such.  Say "Yes".  They will get re-installed.
    Open iTunes and you should have all your text back!
    *Based on a sample of one - hopefully it works for you.
