DeComplier and missing fonts

Hello
I don't have the original source files so I had to resort to
a de-complier. I purchased So-think. When I de-complied the swf it
prompts me for missing fonts. Once I replace the fonts some of the
text in the fla displays and some does not. A majority of the
images are jumped and look nothing like the orginal SWF. Has anyone
experienced this? Also, I think the SWF might be pulling in text or
images from another file?
Thanks for any support,

Do you really mean that they are in "/System/Fonts"? That folder is not part of the proper OS X system file hierarchy, which would be "/System/Library/Fonts" -- if a font is in the place you indicated, it will not be recognized.
You should be able to add the fonts in the proper location by using Font Book -- under the Font Book File menu, choose "Add Fonts...", then navigate to them on your hard drive and follow the directions. This should make the OS (and Font Book) aware of them. (Alternatively, you could simply move the font files and into /Library/Fonts.)

ATM Light and Missing Fonts in Designer

When I try to open pdf files created on my computer in Designer, it suggests that all of the fonts are not in my system and wants to replace them. Of course they are there, they were just applied to text in the design program before I made the pdf file. I have ATM Light installed to manage fonts on my Windows 2000 computer. I'm wondering if others with ATM Light see the same behaviour. I've read that fonts need to be in the system fonts or designer subdirectory in order for them to be used by Designer. With ATM Light, I am able to store fonts anywhere on my computer and have Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc use them with no trouble. Is this not the case for Designer?

For some reason i tried booting in safe mode before i wanted to reinstall things. And in safe mode everything was ok, all the fonts were working, menus were ok etc.
So i went back into normal mode and it looks quite ok, but context menus are still missing fonts and even more odd... when i'm in fontbook for example the finderbar has the default font, but in safari and finder itself the font changes to something old again.
I'm kind of scared to reinstall and archive things because i have lots off settings for wireless printers and internet locations on my mac school set for me. And i think i cannot really move those files back and let them work after the install...

Keynote and Missing Fonts

Hey all,
I just fired up Keynote for the first time, selected the showtime layout, and then got a console full of errors. Well, it was actually the same error repeating itself. It was saying that I was missing Gill Sans and Markerfelt Thin.
I searched and found that I actually had both of these fonts, but Keynote doesn't seem to notice. They both are in /System/Fonts.
Any suggestions?

Dumb Q on Properties Inspector and missing Font tools

I just upgraded to DW CS5. In the Properties Inspector I somehow clicked off some options and can now no longer see font alignment or options like Bold or Italics. Now I have to access it via the FORMAT option at the top. I know this has to be simple but I have searched the web and cannot find the answer!! I do have HTML clicked in the Properties Inspector.
Thanks,
Gary

What I dont get is Left Align, Right Align, Center Justify. I used to get that until I clicked all of the windows at the bottom off and now can't get it back.
Read my reply again:
When CSS is selected, you get CSS options, which include bold, italic,
and alignment. However, it's important to note that using these options
forces you to create a style rule. In CS5, you cannot use HTML
attributes for alignment, except by editing Code view or using the Tag
Inspector panel.
Left Align, Right Align, Center, and Justify are now options in the Property inspector when the CSS button is selected. However, as I wrote before, these options no longer insert the HTML align attributes. To do that, you need to use Code view or the Tag Inspector (Window > Tag Inspector).
Dreamweaver CS5 uses CSS for alignment. You need to learn to use CSS if you want to use the Property inspector for text alignment. Why? Because CSS is now considered the standard way of doing it.

InDesign Freezes when Missing Links Missing Fonts

When I open an InDesign document that has missing/updated links AND missing fonts InDesign in a sense "freezes" as with both these error pop up boxes it refuses to recognize when I click on the "fix" or "cancel" or "ignore" buttons. The only way out is to force quit and the next time I start up and open the document when these boxes pop up I click "ignore" very quickly and then fix once I am in the document. very strange I know. Has this happened to anyone else?!? If so, is there a fix? Better than force quitting?!?
I am working in CS3 and OS 10.4.11 (Mac of course :)

Just a thought -- if you use the Return key on the keyboard, does it dismiss the dialog boxes?

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

Here's a positive thing: Windows viruses can't run on OS X, but they can be transferred from OS X to other PCs (only if you have them on the OS X volume).

Missing Fonts and links

I lost all my fonts after the updates how do I get my fonts and missing links back?

I have this issue too. I am missing handwriting dakota which is only leased to Apple. According to the information researched all other download applications from the web are corrupt. I have these in the photobooks that I sell. I have just received an additional order for both a bride's and groom"s Mom. They want the same Font.

How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

Hello all!
Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

I'm trying to replace a missing font and apparently it's a graphic. It's not letting me replace with another font and click change. I can't export until it's fixed and I need to fix / bypass as soon as possible.

Go find the graphic in question, and open it in its native program. The problem will have to be fixed there.

[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.

Receiving 'Missing Font' message - but have font on my system; and no one can open my PDFs

I have just started using a new Ind template (developed by someone else). Everytime I go to open the .ind file I get a "Missing Font" error box that says my document "uses one or more fonts which are not currently available on your system." Specifically, the font the error message notes is "Univers 57 Condensed." But I do have that font on my system. I reinstalled all of my Univers fonts again just to be on the safe side, I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and I updgraded my Acrobat for v6 to v9 and I am still having the issue. Now, I am able to create a PDF and I can open it myself no problem. But when I send the PDF to anyone else they can't open it, and then get an error message that says: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'GRCMCG+UniversLSTD-CN'. Does anyone have an idea as to what the issue may be - I don't know what else to try. Thank You!!!

If that's the case the font you've got installed is obviously seen as a different one than the one in the template by Indesign. Howver once you've used Find Font and saved the document you shouldn't get that warning again, right?
As to why other people can't open it I don't know.... I have had it in the past when a document is emailed that it gets damaged, could that be a possibility?

Missing Font, Font Book, and a Game?

I'm trying to run Wildlife Tycoon- Venture Africa on my 15" PB. It crashes soon after it is launched. I'm working with the developer and in WTVA's consol log a fatal fault is mentioned:
Error creating font [Arial (14)] -- it doesn't exist on this machine.
Fatal-ISV: (../engine/dgl/gFont.cc @ 39) Error, The Arial Font must always
be available!
A followup from their tech support indicates that the Arial font needed is "Arial regular" with a size of 14. I've found Font Book on my PB in the Applications folder. There appears to be 3 versions of Arial, but none are Arial regular.
I have no idea why this font is missing. Arial regular seems like a font my PB should have. My G5 apparently has it because the game launches on it. Has anyone heard of this issue before (missing fonts)?
Font Book is not very user friendly but it looks like Adding Arial regular is as simple as locating a copy of this font and dumping it into my font folder?
Can anyone offer any ideas where I can find this font onlline and if my premise about adding the font is correct? If not how do I get this font installed on my PB?
(I'm currently away from home on a trip so if I don't find this font online, I'm going to try to find it on my G5 and transfer it to my PB.)
Thanks!

Aha! Then you are missing the normal Arial face. Microsoft used to make a set of fonts available free called the "Web font kit", or something like that. It included Arial, among a bunch of other commonly used fonts. Unfortunately, they no long offer it.
But! They do have this one, which includes a copy of Arial identical to the one I listed. Download the link for "CoreFonts_update.bin" and you'll be set with a copy of Arial that should make the game happy.

Finding and replacing Missing Fonts

Dear All,
I need to find the missing fonts in the InDesing document and replace them into correct fonts using JavaScript.
Pl. help.
Thanks,
ArcRaj

Ole,
For a moment you had me rejoicing (I hadn't tried this in 5.0.3 yet). But my joy was short-lived, as I still can't get it to work. For instance,
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont =
app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold');
still tells me that "The requested font is not available." That font is not installed on my system but is used in the active document.
Absent fonts seem to confuse ESTK. Getting some properties of this non-installed font leads to different results:
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').index
gives -1. Don't know what that means, but there's a result and no error.
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').fontFamily
gives Swiss 721 BT. Result as expected. (It's not the case that to return this property ESTK doesn't bother to check whether the font exists: ...('Olav Kvern\tBold').fontFamily produces an error.)
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').location
doesn't do much apart from repeating the property name. No error, nothing in the console; just "location" in the staus bar at the bottom of ESTK's app window.
Am I missing something?

OSX 10.6 and a missing font

I would be very grateful for a pointer here...
I updated my home iMac to OSX10.6, then up to 10.6.2
I left the machine and the upgrade seems fine. However, my daughter's Club Penguin game on the web won't show some of the type and I think a font has gone missing/ been messed up. All other writing appears ok but not the name/ password or some of the web textboxes
How do I find the missing font and re-install it? i am wary of messing with the fonts.
(I have a time machine backup ok)

You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:

You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks, and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
