Downloaded gill sans font will not appear in indesign.

Hi
I found this link to the downloadable font (Gill Sans) on this blog:
(links removed by forum host)
I scanned for viruss and nothing came up so downloaded it fine. I copy and pasted the fonts where the rest of my fonts were in:
windows – fonts.
I also tryed copy and pasting the font in:
In design – fonts
however that was the only that font shown there.
Is there something Ive missed, when I open indesign I cannot find the fonts.
It says they are a truetype font file.
CS3 adobe suite windows vista
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Helen

ok I didn't realize it was pirated. Is it just some fonts are not ok to download?
Ive never heard ok windows installer, is on all computers or do I have to download it?
I thought copy and pasting would work?
I was thinking I might have got a mac font which is why it wasn't working.
thanks for your help,
Helen

  • Some fonts do not appear in InDesign

    Some fonts do not appear in InDesign although they can be used in Word, Pagemaker and show in Adobe Typemanager.

    Can you name one?
    These are the most common causes of people complaining "My fonts don't appear":
    (a) Smart name sorting. "New Century Schoolbook" sorts under "C", not "N". "Adobe Garamond" sorts under "G". (I call this 'smart' sorting because apparently it isn't the same as, ehm, dumb sorting. However, I've never read a good description of its sort parameters.)
    (b) Word and PageMaker (but not ATM) allow the use of fake fonts: bold, italics and bold+italics are produced by horribly deforming your base font. If you want a bold font in InDesign, use the designed one. If there isn't one designed ... the designer probably had good reasons not to make one. (It's still possible to create faux-bold and faux-italics in InDesign but the program leaves that decision to you).
    (c) Smart Script sorting. InDesign groups its fonts per supported script. Latin fonts are at the top (a slightly self-centric choice), then come groups of fonts for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. etc. A font like Gisha contains Hebrew characters and thus appears in the Hebrew group.
    (d) More than one font file with the same font name (internally). ID gets mightily confuzed if it encounters a file "times.ttf", font name "Times Roman", in one folder, and "tr_____.pfb", font name "Times Roman", in another folder. You can't really blaim it, though.

  • Illustrator 12.0 --  Fonts will not appear in character palette.

    I recently had to reformat my computer, and had to re-install Adobe Illustrator. Ever since fonts will not load in my character palette.
    The only way for me to access fonts is by going to type >> font at the top of the program. I've tried re-installing Illustrator, but have had no luck.
    Any ideas on how to correct this problem? It didn't exist before, and fonts load correctly in Photoshop.

    Jen,
    You may try to
    Move the folder. Sometimes the preferences are wrong from the beginning.

  • Font will not bold in InDesign, but it will in powerpoint? Help.

    Hi, I am still new to Indesign.  I am creating a brochure and I need to bold the font "Edwardian Script ITC".  I have used this font in powerpoint and I can bold it there, but I am not seeing this option in Indesign.  Why?  Is there a way to get it to bold?
    Thanks,
    Christina

    Moved to InDesign
    Off the top of my head I would assume your Edwardian Script font does not have a bold instance of the font. Microsoft’s software will frequently will fake it. But a program like InDesign will not. It wants a true bold instance of the font so that you have no problem when it comes to output your file for professional printing.

  • Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

    Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

    Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
    I'm using a PC. It works here.
    It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

  • HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

    A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Mavericks will not appear in Purchases or download

    I'm currently running 10.7.5 on a 17" MBP (2011). I am now ready to upgrade to 10.9.1 but cannot get it to download from the App Store. Here's what I did:
    - launched App Store and clicked on OS X Mavericks
    - clicked on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install App".
    - Forced me to set my security questions before it would continue (gave me an error about year of birth which I figured out how to fix)
    - It started up LaunchPad although I was not expecting this and I cancelled out of LaunchPad
    - I rebooted Lion
    - Ran Disk Utility to repair disk permissions
    - Rebooted Lion
    - Launched App Store and went to purchases and clicked the Download button for Mavericks
    - Went to bed
    This morning I couldn't find the "Install OS X Mavaricks" in the Applications folder. Logged into the App Store and went to Purchases and clicked Download again but nothing seemed to happen (LaunchPad did not show any download progress).
    So I deleeted Mavaricks from Purchases in attempt to start from scratch. However, now Mavaricks will not appear in Purchases (I have restarted App Store).
    If I click "Free Upgrade" and then "Install App", I get prompted for my apple ID, enter it and it gets accepted but then nothing appears to happen. Mavaricks will not appear in Purchases. LaunchPad does not show any Install OS X Mavricks icon.

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock/Launchpad is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    After you have installed Mavericks, if you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Learned from leonie.
    I have to use it after every update.

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

  • TS3212 I am trying to install itunes on my pc and the run window will not appear. I changed the pop-up blocker settings and I still can't see it?

    I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Can't edit audio line - it will not appear

    For some reason my edit line will not appear in the audio track. I can't fade down or out the audio tracks downloaded from my iTunes library.
    Note: This is just one of the problems I've had since installing iLife 08. I did not care for '08 and deleted it but I believe parts of it still lingers somewhere.
    I will only use my version 6, but can't go further with four 'in progress' movies.

    Phone EE to delete you old a/c. Then you will be able to create your new 1. Stupid, innit? They can't do this auto when you upgrade.

    I was receiving the same error message yesterday, which said There was a problem downloading "The Song Name / Album / Artist". The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Available Downloads" from the Store menu. The file tries to download five times before this error message appears.
    I too, tried to find the file and delete it, but it was no where to be found.
    So I gave up for that moment and tried again today and I was able to successfully download the file. Amazing how that works!!!

  • Installed Mavericks and latest iWorks and some fonts will not work. Strangely these fonts work in Notes and old version of Strickies. Any ideas?

    It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
    Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
    http://www.playonmac.com
    Just try with Playonmac...
    If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
    http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
    If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:
    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/
    It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...
