Embedded font not appearing...

If you run the following code provided you have a MC on stage
with "ball" as instance name, the text appears as intended. However
if you uncomment the line that embeds the font, it does not display
at all. I have a Font symbol in my library with the same name as
you see in the Text Format object "Verdana" and it's been checked
for export for AS. Do I have to do something else? Is the order of
the code affecting the result?

I figured it out. I had set the alpha to 0. Dugh!

Hi Josh,
Were you able to solve your issue with the fonts? I'm having the same issue but only when I go to publish the epub on Kindle Direct Publishing. When I view it through their previewer none of the fonts display. It seems like they display the default Kindle fonts. If you found a solution, please share

Embedded fonts not appearing in ePub on Kindle mobi file

I have embedded two fonts into the ePub file which are called throught the CSS using @font-face declaration.
When I view the ePub in iBooks on my Macbook or convert it to .mobi to view on my Kindle reader (on mac still) I can see the fonts fine.
However, the problem occurs when I send this file for my client to do the same on his mac, and the fonts do not show up.
I don't even know where to begin with this one, so any advice, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Activated fonts not appearing in Illustrator?

I'm running Illustrator CS on a Dual PPC G5 running OS 10.3.9. I have an OpenType font active (using Linotype FontExplorer to manage fonts) and can use the font in all programs except the Adobe ones (Illustrator and Photoshop). Why would the font not appear there? I need it for a logo that I have to manipulate into a vector graphic, but I can't do anything if it won't appear in the type menu. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

Christine,
Did you by any chance create the fonts yourself? OpenType fonts shouldn't cause any more trouble than Type 1 if they are correctly made and named.
If their names show up incorrectly or if they don't show up at all, it's probably because someone did something wrong in Font Info when he was making the font. If you make use of the Build Names thingummy in FontLab Studio it can save you a lot of this kind of trouble. I have done quite a bit of this kind of work - adding Icelandic characters to fonts and that sort of thing - and find that it's absolutely essential to do things right if you want to avoid problems in FontExplorer.
It can sometimes happen too that fonts are made specifically for Windows, in which case they may need to be edited and re-saved for Mac before you can use them so that they work perfectly. You can often get a Windows font to work well on a Mac but you should keep your eyes open for glitches all the same.
And another thing, you may occasionally need to restart Illy when you've made changes to fonts in FontExplorer. This doesn't happen often these days but still crops up occasionally all the same.

Fonts Not appearing in swf file

When I compile my swf file from flash, the dynamic text
fields disappear completely.
I know this sounds like a n00b problem, but I've done dynamic
text a million times. I've never had this happen. I'm embedding the
characters from the fonts in the preferences for the text field.
I've manually written the characters I want to embed as well to try
and override the character selector in flash. I've reinstalled
flash. I've reduced the number of fonts loaded in my system. I've
changed the font to other types to see if it's an issue with the
font. I've tried to toggle display as html and selectability. None
of this makes a difference. I've also ensured that my variables are
loading properly (list variables in the debug pulldown on export)
so there should actually be something to load.
As a test, I tried to break apart my text. As with all text,
you need to break it twice to render the text as a bitmap. On the
second break, the text disappears. This should not happen either.
This tells me that flash, though it's obviously getting the
vector information for the fonts so it can display them properly,
some level of the application isn't getting the information to
render it when I either export the file or when I try to break
apart my text.
Sounds like a permissioning issue.... so I fixed permissions
on my mac. Still have the problem.
Here's a link to the file in the wild. If you want a link to
the xml file, let me know. I'm getting the data from it, so it
really shouldn't be the issue. There should be a large number in
the price area of the first order option, and all options should
have text in the burgundy rounded corner box at the bottom.
http://www.omaxtra.com/Can_Help/rheumatoid_landing.html
I'm developing on a PowerMac G5 2.0 completely patched to OS
10.4.8.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this. Any thoughts?

I never did figure out what the problem was. I sucked it up
and exported it as a flash 7 swf. Thankfully I wasn't using
anything from flash 8 in that particular instance.
I have since embedded fonts in flash 8 files with much
success. All of it for programatically set (AS) dynamic text.
I'd be more than happy to try and help identify common
variables (perhaps typefaces used, etc) with you to figure out what
combination of things makes this bug appear. But other than that,
unless you're using specific code from flash 8 or some of the new
effects, I'd suggest rendering it in 7.
Good luck, and PLEASE do let us know if you ever get a
resolution.
Happy new year!

Flash animation in Captivate - Embedded fonts not displaying.

I'm in Captivate 5 creating a lesson, I have made a simple animation in Flash 5 that contains one word in the animation. I output it from Flash to a .swf. Before I output it I set the font (Arial) to embed. It previews fine, when I view the small library review animation in C5 it appears fine. When I F10 to preview the slides, the font has reverted to a default system font. Any idea why the embedded font would not display properly when I do a 5 slide preview in Captivate?

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152

Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
Safari 5.1
Firefox 6.0.2
I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?

I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
Here is the complete code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
if (useDeviceFont) {
          var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
          format.font = "_sans";
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.1

I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player.

Font not appearing on PDF Output

Hi,
We are creating a XSL-FO report in Oracle Applications R12 which uses a special font. I installed the font using XML Publisher Administrator and I can see the font when I click on Preview on the template. But when the report is run from Applications, the same font does not appear. I will really apreciate if anyone can provide a solution to me for this.
Thanks

Hi Abhishek
When you say XSLFO template do you mean an RTF template or an XSLFO template?
Where are you previewing the template successfully and to what frmat?

Fonts not appearing in CC, but are shown in CS5.5

I'm having an issue where fonts are not appearing in CC, when they are active in CS5.5. There's even fonts which do show up in CC but not all the weights.
For example: ITC Lubalin Graph. It has several weights. All appear in CS5.5 but only 'book' in CC. so that can't be a format issue can it? (TT vs PS or OT)
It's making the transition to CC frustrating and I'm spending more time working in CS5.5 than I should, as the fonts work there fine.

Don't seem to be any takers, so I'll ask the next obvious question... can these fonts be seen and used in other Mac, NON ADOBE apps like Word (or anything else which allows you to pick fonts on screen)?

Embedded font not working in Spark Label control?

Hi,

I'v been playing with cff: true/false, embedAsCFF:true/false but no results.
I've added my test application where it does work with the Halo <mx:Label> control, but not with the Spark <s:Label> control.
So, no compiler errors, but the Spark label control shows a serif (Helvetia?) font where it should be sans as does the Halo control.
Can anybody help me out here?

Embedded fonts not displaying Correctly

Regarding font embedding, I've enabled linkage and created a new class of it in my AS3 class file. Is there anything else I should do?

Embedded fonts not displaying when building project via mxmlc

I have a flex 3 project and I'm trying to upgrade it to flex 4.6 sdk. I have a number of embedded fonts in my application. These display fine when I build via Eclipse/Flash builder. When I build using mxmlc the embedded fonts are not being used. I build the fonts in the same way for both so I am assuming there is some compiler option which I am missing, or which I have that is causing the problem. I've tried every compiler option I can think of and now I'm at a dead end...
<target name="compile" depends="getswcs, compilemodules">
     <echo message="mxmlc=${mxmlc}"/>
     <echo message="flex.lib.dir=${flex.lib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.extlib.dir=${flex.extlib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale=${flex.locale}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale.dir=${flex.locale.dir}"/>
     <exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
          <arg line="'src/${main}'" />
          <arg line="-o 'bin/${component.lowercase.name}.swf'" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.lib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-sp src" /> <arg line="-accessible" />
          <arg line="-strict" />
          <arg line="-el '${flex.extlib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-compatibility-version=3.0.0" />
          <arg line="-target-player '11.1'" />
          <arg line="-include-libraries+=lib" />
          <arg line="-locale ${flex.locale}" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.locale.dir}'" />
     </exec>
</target>
The compileModules builds my fonts, for example:
<exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
     <arg line="fonts/OCRAEXT.as" />
     <arg line="-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" />
     <arg line="-o bin/lib/OCRAEXT.swf" />
</exec>`
as file:
public class OCRAEXT extends Sprite {
     [Embed(source='OCRAEXT.TTF', fontName='_OCRAEXT', embedAsCFF='false', unicodeRange='U+0030-U+0039,U+002E,U+002F,U+20AC')]
public static var font:Class; }
I don't think there's an issue here, since the fonts are already built via my compileModules before building the application in Eclipse, where the fonts display correctly.

Try comparing SWF sizes and link-reports.

Fonts not appearing in CS3 program font lists

Certain postscript fonts (ZapfDingbats and Rubino Sans) are correctly installed in Windows 7 and available to Microsoft programs (Word and Excel) but not to Adobe programs. That is, they do not appear in any of the CS3 Design Standard applications (PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator) font lists when the application is open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the fonts and CS3 to no avail. I have added shortcuts to the Common Files/Adobe/Fonts directory to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I assume by PostScript fonts you really mean Type 1 fonts. (TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much "PostScript fonts" as Type 1 fonts are!)
There is a known problem with the CS3 applications with all Type 1 fonts under all Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions when such fonts are installed in the Windows System Font directory. The problem is fixed in CS4.
The workaround is to copy all the Type 1 font files (both the .PFB and the .PFM files - each Type 1 font has one .PFB and one .PFM file) to the Creative Suite's private font directory. Depending upon the CS version, that may be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Restart the Creative Suite programs you are using and the fonts should appear.
You may also copy said fonts into the private font directories of the individual applications (typically a directory path ending with the node name Fonts.
