CS6 - Arial Narrow fonts do not show up

I installed CS6 on a brand new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit.  The arial narrow font will not show up in the pull down menu for fonts.  This seems to be a common problem as there are a lot of results when searched online.  I tried several of the solutions, but none have worked.  Some people have said it is a Microsoft Office thing.  I found a hotfix for Office 2007, but I am using Office 2010 so the hotfix does not apply.  Has anybody ever figured this out?  Please help. 

Create a piece of text in Illustrator with the font not
appearing in FW and then copy/paste it to FW. Helped with me on FW

  • Problems with reader an arial narrow font

    like the title of the thread says , y have a problem opening some pdfs , not with all , the problem is an error message telling me that  the arial narrow font is not available and the pdf is filled with dots instead of characters . I´ve tried to change fonts folder in windows but it didnt result , so i dont know what to do , i´ve also tried use the option of use local fonts only but it doesn´t works.
    PD: Sorry for my bad english , I hope someone could help me , thanks in advance

    I believe the .lst font files only exist on mac, and the PC .lst file are some MS office format.
    Have not used amp font viewer as I have suitcase on my Win machine, but try closing all unnecesary fonts, especially arial narrow. I do remember an ID conflict with one of the olders versions of Helvetica Neu with arial.
    Did this used to work before and is something that started up recently, you may want to look into what new installs you had, search through and kill your processes one by one, or do a system restore.
    Finally I would look at your copy of arial bold, and disbale that and install and opentype version. The newer opentype version will probably use one fo the newer FOND IDs adn you will have access to more characters and be crossplatfrom. If you cannot disbale arial bold, then it is the version that is one of the sytem core fonts, and you can try repairing your windows install which may replace that.
    You may have a bad sector, run checkdisk

  • My fonts are not showing up in CS6

    My fonts are not showing up in CS6, but they are installed.  How do I fix this?

    Please provide some more detail. Are you on Windows or Mac? In which applications are the fonts not showing? And what do you mean by "not showing" (provide a screen shot if possible)?

  • Illustrator CS2 Suddenly not Recognizing Arial Narrow Fonts

    I created a graphic earlier today that used Arial Narrow Bold Italic. Later on today I had to update the graphic with new information and now it is telling me I don't have the font installed. The Arial Narrow fonts are in the fonts folder and are recognized by all other CS apps, Office apps, etc. I have replaced the fonts countless times since getting this message, restarted my computer, all to no avail. I eventually had to go to another computer to do the update. I even tried copying the fonts from that computer to mine and I still get the same error in Illustrator.
    I don't know what the heck happened. I didn't install any new fonts between the time I made the graphic and the time I tried to update it. Do I need to re-install Illustrator? I need to know ASAP, as I will be updating this graphic tomorrow and of course would still like to use Arial Narrow in Illustrator.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Btw, I'm on WinXP SP2.

    I had the same problem when I upgraded to CS3. Haven't explored the reasoning behind it but did try resetting (deleting) several PREF files, reinstalling the font, but nothing changed. I did find the following: Select ARIAL font and under FONT STYLE select the NARROW option. This will be give you the equivalent of NARROW REGULAR but there are no direct style options for italic, bold, or bold italic. Since I don't use the font that much, my only work around was to apply a stroke of .15-.25pt to the text for bold and a 20° shear for italic.
    If anybody's got a answer to why ARIAL NARROW got wrapped as a font style of ARIAL and not just a font, such ARIAL BLACK, etc., it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why Arial Narrow font not working on my blog?

    I have one blog name http://articlezeneu.blogspot.com/, I have used Arial Narrow font at Post title. On Chrome and IE, it's working but on firefox it shows Arial.
    Can anyone can solve my problem?

    You may have to use extra CSS properties on Windows to make Firefox use the Arial Narrow font: font-stretch:condensed
    When DirectWrite rendering is used rather than GDI rendering, font families are grouped differently.<br />
    How a browser reacts here will depend on which font subsystem it's using.<br />
    Windows has two different font subsystems: GDI and DirectWrite.

  • Arial Narrow Font not embedded PDF when generated on server

    Hi,
    I'm struggling with some font issues. My report contains only Arial or Arial Narrow subset font. These fonts are installed on all client and server machines. When I render the report locally and export it to pdf then everything works fine, the report looks
    ok and when checking the pdf properties the Arial narrow font has been embedded. After deploying it to a SSRS server 2008 R2 and render it from this server the export to pdf converts the Arial Narrow font to Helvetica messing up my report.
    Any ideas how to maintain the Arial Narrow font?
    As far as I can tell every condition as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx are met. 

    Hi hans0305,
    According to your description that you have problem with the font in the PDF, The font type is correct when you export report to PDF in the Preview but font changed from Arial Narrow to Helvetica when export to PDF in the Report Server, right?
    This problem is related to the font-embedding of PDF. The font Arial Narrow haven’t embedded successfully to the PDF. Please check in the client machine which the report server and report manger located to make sure the Arial Narrow font have been installed
    correctly by enter the Control Panel and select the “Font”.
    For the client machine, closing all instances of the PDF viewer then reopening them should fix the issue. If the issue still persists, you may need a full machine reboot to get the client/server to recognize the newly installed font, you can also try an
    reinstall of the font Arial Narrow.

  • Fonts details not showing correctly in Acrobat XI

    Hi,
    Previous i used Acrobat 8, there is no issues when i select character to check font name, but now i upgrade the Acrobat to XI, there is some issues when check fonts, its not showing its accurate Font name like
    In Acrobat 8, Its showing correctly "MyriadPro-Light". I checked in Enfocus Pitstop Professional also.
    But in Acrobat XI, it's showing as "MyriadPro" only. Its really critical issue in my working area. So please anybody try solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards

    Is this only with one file and if so can you share it? I can't reproduce what you're describing; the Acrobat XI document properties dialog reports the Postscript name of each font just as it always has done. Here's a demo in Acrobat XI Pro:

  • Font (times) not showing up in Dreamweaver, not in preferences font list

    I'm on a computer using 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and Dreamweaver CS5. When we apply a style of Times New Roman to the text, it remains in it's default state (sans serif). When we apply a font family style, including times and a default serif font, the font still appears sans serif. This makes it seem like dreamweaver thinks the font it has is times, or it would default down the font family chain. When we preview in the browser the correct times new roman font is used.
    I thought it might be all adobe apps, but photoshop and illustrator display times just fine.  We've validated the font in font book, cleared up duplicate problems with other fonts in font book. We've used onyx to clear the font cache several times. After clearing the catch dreamweaver goes into some kind of font routine and takes about 15 minutes to get out of it. When I sample this process from activity monitor I see it running tons of font related routines. One time after this routine the correct times new roman font appeared! But after a program restart it disappeared again. Please help! We've spent hours already on this yesterday and am not looking forward to losing another half day today!

    In addition to onyx I've also used the recommended "Font Finagler" application for clearing the font cache and working with fonts. It and font book both seem to validate and approve the times new roman font.
    I logged in as another user and experienced the same problem.
    In addition, I have a host of other fonts in the aphabetical ti-uvwxy range, and none of them show up in my font list in the system preferences font drop down. "Times", the first fallback font for the font family is within this missing range as well and does not show up. I know this list is for choosing the system fonts for the interface but I think it further points towards there being some kind of bug or problem with loading my entire font list into the application.
    Again, these fonts work fine in the other adobe applications, just not in dreamweaver. I'll try and upload an image of the font list. You'll see it cuts off right at fonts that start with "th" even though I have loads of other fonts between t-z.

  • Likely bug with external editing (in CS5 not CS6 beta) and edited image not showing back up in LR

    I have come across something strange today that I've not seen before. I'm running LR 4.0 under Win7 64-bit. I usually use Photoshop CS6 beta as my external editor, but invoke CS5 when I have to use some tools that don't support the beta. Here is the scenario:
    * I have CS5 open
    * I externally edit an image in CS5 and Save it from CS5 when I'm done
    * The edited image does not show up in LR
    * I close LR and reopen it
    * There is the edited image!
    I have duplicated this many times this evening. I don't think I've seen it when I've used CS6 beta.

    Something strange is going on because I had the behavior reported of edited image not showing up after using another filter, Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

  • Muse web fonts are not showing up in Chrome

    When sending a PDF via email the Frutiger font does not appear properly on an iPad or iPhone. When viewed on an iPhone all the text appears as gradient boxes and when viewing on an iPad font becomes too light to be legible. Is this a problem with the font in the iOS platform? I also tried opening the file in iBooks and got the same outcome.
