Disapearing fonts within Illustrator CC

Hi everyone,
I've purchased fonts, downloaded and clicked through to the install page. They've installed and are instantly ready to use within Illustrator CC. Problem is, is that, when I close and re-open Illustrator (after a re-boot/shut down etc), the new fonts are not there. I click through to install pages again, it tells me that this font is already installed and do I wish to replace it? I select yes...double check...and it's back within CC again. I don't want to have to do this everytime I open Illustrator.
Illustrator CC (up to date)
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Incidentally...the fonts I've installed have installed themselves within Windows>Fonts. Can't find a Common Files>Adobe>Fonts folder though (should there be??).
Thanks for any help...This is doing my head in to be fair

/Users/"you"/Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Fonts
but really you should be using a fonts manager. you can use FontBook to install fonts.

Convert fonts within PDF into Outlines?

I do some work for a printing company, and sometimes we get PDFs that need small corrections like adding bleed. Most of these corrections can be done with Illustrator. But opening the pdf in illustrator can substitute fonts if we don't have the exact matching font. Does anyone know of a way to convert fonts within the PDF to outlines (similar to the 'Create Outlines' function in Illustrator), without opening the PDF? Or is there, perhaps, an app for that?

So, is there a way to convert the font into vector patch using Adobe reader X pro?
Not possible with Adobe Reader and not possible with Adobe Acrobat.

Problem with embedding fonts in Illustrator CS5

I have just installed Illustrator CS5, and have tested creating a PDF document based on one of my existing files, as well as a new file.
When I open these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am told that Acrobat cannot access one of the embedded fonts (Korinna BT).
I have had no issues with embedding this font in Illustrator CS4, and (strangely), when I open these files in other PDF viewers (Preview and PDFPenPro), they report no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have removed and reinstalled the font in question, and tested/verified that the font is OK - but still not joy.
Regards
Jeremy

The error message I get is:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'MVZTIW+KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I check the fonts in the PDF in "Document Properties" in Adobe Acrobat the following is shown:
"KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Ansi
     Actual Font: Adobe Serif MM
     Actual Font Type: Type 1"
It seems that Illustrator is adding some strange "code" ('MVZTIW') to the beginning of the font, which means the actual font can't be found and extracted.

How to monospace fonts in Illustrator?

I can't seem to find this feature - is it possible to do this in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!

Good responses here, but I just wanted to add in one other solution. This is painstaking but I'm having to do it for a project. I literally need a grid of text. I'd much rather just have a monospace font. Illustrator, if you're listening, a "Force Monospace" option would be excellent for UI designers, puzzle designers, and a lot of other people. People go to illustrator to do the odd jobs that other programs can't do. This feature would be at home here.
The basic idea is to use linked text boxes and flowing text. This will be much easier to do in InDesign, since that program was born to flow text. I find it hard to click the flow button in CS5 and you can't hold option to continue the linkage process like you can in InDesign.
Anyways, details on how to do this below. If you absolutely need a monospace layout of text glyphs, and don't have a monospace font to work with, and need to work in illustrator, this should work. I'm not saying that it will look good or be legible, and I guarantee you'll curse Illustrator because this would be very easy for them to add in as a feature.
1) Click and drag out a rectangular text box. Don't just click and start typing, you need an actual type box.
2) Enter your text and style your text how you want it. Use the increased tracking method, posted above, if you want to see roughly what it will look like.
3) Decrease the tracking so it's 0 after you have everything styled.
4) Add an uppercase M to the beginning of your text. That's typically (no pun intended) the widest character in most fonts.
5) Resize the text box width so all you can see is that first M. You can make it a little wider just to be safe.
6) Drag out a copy of that text box, and delete the text from the new one.
7) Drag out copies of this empty text box. They should "flow" from left to right for English or other left-to-right languages. You should have as many boxes as you have letter in your final text.
8) Link the text boxes: first click on your text box that has your placeholder text. You should see a red overflow [+] sign on the right side of the box. Click that.
9) Click the edges of the next text box and you should see text flow from one box to the next.
10) Rinse and repeat until all your boxes are filled. As you're doing this, you'll have multiple smaller letters filling up smaller boxes. There are two way to solve this:
11A) Hit enter after each character to force the text to the next text box. This is cumbersome.
11B) Increase tracking to a very high number or something that will prohibit two characters from occupying the same box. This is good if you are going to want to edit the type after the fact.
12) Horizontally align your boxes, center your text, and you're done.

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase?

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase? InDesign has a fonts folder, but not Illustrator.

i found this info from this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3466307. The user who asked this question stats this solution worked for them.
First in Language and text preferences in the system preferences select Hebrew as the input method.
The in Illustrator click the text tool in your document or drag to create a text frame.
While the cursor is active select a hebrew font
then go to the menu bar for the finder and where there is the American Flag pull it down and select hebrew
now go back to the document and start typing.
Remember if you do not have the ME version you have to have it flush right and type backwards.

Embedding fonts within a postscript file

Hi all, I want to know the best way to embed specific fonts within a postscript file. More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file.
Thanks!

Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
--| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).
--| Untick "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog.
Be well...

Simply cannot open file from within Illustrator CS3

When working in CS3 in 10.5.8 I go to open file and select a document nothing happens. It is as if I did not attempt the command. This just began happening about a week ago. I've been on CS3 for over 2 years. In order to open each file - I must locate the file in its folder and double click on it to open the file. However going to open recent files does work. I have tried re-launching Illustrator by holding down the Shif/Option/Cmmd to refresh the prefs but that did not work. Any ideas? thanks.

Good job on your troubleshooting so far. Answer could be in the OS rather than within Illustrator. Try running Applications>> Utilities >> Disk Utility and fixing the permissions.
Mike has the probably cause of this if repairing the permissions with the disk utility does not work do not give up on this procedure.
You can do it manually in case the disk utility over looks this folder.
Control or right click on the folder where these files are and then go to get info and where it says Ownership and Permissions check to see if all the users listed have permission to use the contents of the folder, it will say read/write.
This can also be true for specific files and for directors higher up like folder for a client that contains these other folders,or partition of a drive which contains the folders and parent folders as well as for an entire hard drive so you have to check the entire hierarchy on occasion. If it is a foder or higher directory there is the option oncce you set the permissionfor the directory to have it apply to all files and directories contained within.
Mike's advice and the folder are fine then it might be a corrupt settings folder. So you can try this as well.
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

Open fonts in Illustrator

I have recently purchased Myriad Pro Open Type and it won't seem to work in Illustrator V.7? Is there any reason for this? It works in every other package? Is it because it is not a Open Type TTF? Any help please.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY ADD FONTS FROM A CD TO ILLUSTRATOR.

CS2 Convert RGB Images to CMYK Within Illustrator

Hey everyone. I desparately need some help here. I designed a file in Illustator CS2 and my file had images within it. I took it to a professional printer and he said my images needed to be converted from RGB to CMYK to print properly. The printer had CS4 and he said to change the colours you click on Edit -> then Colours, which in turn allowed him to change the pictures format from RGB to CMYK. I only have CS2 and when he told me to select Edit and then Colours, well CS2 does not have that. It's something completely different.
If someone out there knows how to change the picture files from RGB to CMYK "within" Illustrator CS2 could you please tell me how as Adobe's phone support only deals with the most current version.
Any help you can provide me with, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Julie

>This is for my benefit as I have just purchased a colour laser printer and wanted to be able to print something proper like the professional printer.
Unless you have a PostScript RIP for your laser printer (a separate driver provided either by your printer manufacturer or a third party) you cannot proof CMYK documents directly. Lacking a PostScript RIP, you can still get a pretty good idea if you have Acrobat. Print to PDF using settings that convert to, say, sRGB... then, print that PDF document on your laser printer (using its native non-PostScript driver).
For your older documents, if your placed RGB images are embedded (rather than linked), you can try Philip's suggestion. It shouldn't matter, though. Illustrator should do the necessary space conversions at print-time.
If the images are linked, I would suggest you convert them to CMYK in Photoshop. I'm sorry, but I do not know of a way to do the same thing within Illustrator (v12 aka CS2).

Can't open files within illustrator

I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite and recently I haven't been able to open any documents/files within illustrator (only from the launch screen). Both cntrl+O and file>open will not allow me to open any files within illustrator. Every time i need to access an existing file I have to quit and launch illustrator again. This is horribly frustrating as I need to juggle between client work. I rebooted my computer and this didn't resolve the issue. Please help or fix this issue.

Did you reinstall all of your Adobe apps after the upgrade to 10.10? Adobe products don't do well with migration but want a reinstall.
Did you mean Cmd-Open. Ctrl is for Windows

Using Sonata Font in Illustrator on IBookG4

I'm using Sonata Font in Illustrator on an IBookG4 laptop and I'm suddenly NOT able to get all of the music notation that I can on a desktop.
For example, each character on the keyboard corresponds to each musical notation; then there is the shift + character to get more musical notation; and also option + character to get the rest of the musical notation.
I can not use option + character to get the last of the musical notation that I need.
Is it the laptop keyboard or Illustrator?
Please advise

There may be some kind of font conflict; the use of a font utility or other
tool may be warranted. This specialized use of software appears to have
limited your hoped-for replies in solving the immediate problem.
In other instances, where some keyboard combinations don't work on a
portable Apple computer (whether or not they did work, then failed, is
another matter) there is an Apple support document which suggests
the use of an external keyboard will do more than the built-in one can.
The following link may not apply to your situation, or model:
[ Apple Portables: Some Key Combinations May Not Be Recognized... ]
I'm wondering if there isn't something simple, other than managing fonts,
that could help this issue go away. I suppose you've tried routine system
maintenance such as repair disk permissions and other duties; and if
the hardware is suspect, ran the Apple Hardware Test to see if there is
another indication of a keyboard failure..? Since you say it was sudden,
I wonder if the built-in keyboard is the problem. Best of luck...!

Fonts and illustrator

I'm having a horrible time trying to get my fonts into illustrator, I downloaded about 200 fonts from the internet, and can't get them into illustator. I used to use and still do use corel 10. Needless to say the instant i put my disc of fonts in my harddrive they were automatically downloaded to corel 10, i didn't have to do anything, the same can't be said for illustrator.

Assuming you're on Windows, install the fonts with the Windows Fonts Control Panel. Then they will be available to all applications, including Illustrator.
