Embedded fonts not displaying in Preview.app

I occasionally get PDF documents with embedded fonts in them. They look fine in Adobe Acrobat, but opening them in Preview.app makes the system fall back to some ugly default font.
I keep a copy of Acrobat reader laying around pretty much only so I can open these files. This behavior is consistent across computers and has been occurring on OSX for ages. I can provide an example PDF is anyone who knows about these things would like to take a look at it.
Any thoughts on the matter?

  • 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?

  • Embedded fonts not displaying Correctly

    I have exported a 100+ page document from InDesign CS5.5 All fonts not in the system fonts are displaying as Minion Pro.
    The fonts are listed as embedded (subset) and the fonts allow for embedding.

    I have toggled Use Local Fonts without change.

    I'm not doing anything to scale the movieClip.  I press CMD and enter and thats what comes out.  When I CMD + I zoom in and thats the second picture.
    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?
    Oh..may be worth mentioning, all the text is actually Label components. 

  • 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.

  • Some Cyrillic fonts not displaying in Preview PDF

    Hi,
    Times New Roman (and potentially other fonts) are not displaying in Cyrillic for me. Arial and other fonts work fine.
    When I copy the blank-appearing section into Word, I can see the text.
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    I have some doubts that your problem is really the same as the big 10.6.7 one being reported, e.g.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2792142?tstart=0
    but you never know.
    You might want to check with your agency to see if they are doing anything different on their end.

  • Embedded font not displaying correctly in swf

    I've attached 2 screenshots. The first shows the flash stage at its default size - as you can see my font is all distorted and weird looking but when you zoom in (image 2) it's exactly like it should be. What would make it look like this when the stage hasn't been zoomed out or anything, it's just from pressing cmd and enter from flash?
    I embedded it by putting it into the fla's library

    Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

  • Raw files not displayed in preview

    In Elements 10, are raw files STILL not displayed in preview in Windows 7?

    Thanks for your reply, Ken, but when I do the Get photos-From Files and folders thing Elements did the same thing it does for jpeg files but then I still can't see the raws. HOWEVER, this morning after reading your message I went back to Elements to get that message that Elements gave me after trying to get the raw files, so that I could quote it to you, and there were all the raw files that I had gotten and tried to view yesterday. So dawn breaks on Marblehead and I realize that maybe Elements has to be refreshed in order to see the raw files. Thanks Ken!

  • Podcast feed images not displaying in Podcast app

    Several of the podcasts I subscribe to are not displaying the feed image in the Podcast app on my iphone.  These are podcasts that I get from Itunes and I can subscribe, download, and play them fine.  They have an image in itunes but for some reason, they do not display in the app.
    An example is 60 Minutes - Full Audio and HandgunWorld Podcast.
    Has anyone else had this issue?  I would appreciate any advice.  Right now I just have gray boxe tiles with the name of the Podcast.  These are podcasts I subscribe to from my iphone.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Ok finally figured it out.  Nothing to do with images at all. The imagePath was set in the app, but even though the default that was set to was the correct path it was being overridden by a flashvar.  And each of the 3 loaders in the wrapper were setting it differently.  The one for when you didn't have the right flash version wasn't setting it at all.  The one for when you had the right flash version was setting it correctly, and the noscript version was setting it incorrectly.
    It was the noscript version that was running for safari even though javascript was enabled.

  • Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

    Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
    However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
    I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
    Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
    I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
    Chris

    They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

  • Thai characters not displaying correctly within App

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Adobe Flex Mobile app displays Thai text, however this is not displaying correctly. While developing the App on my Windows machine and testing using the Adobe Flash Builder mobile emulator, the font/characters look correct.
    However when running the app on either the MAC Adobe Flash Builder emulator, the iPhone simulator or on an actual iPhone, the font/characters are incorrect.
    First I thought that it was maybe an encoding issue (I am using locale properties files to replace text), so followed instructions at this website Flash Builder, Flex language bundles showing strange symbols. Not utf8 encoded.Sefol however this did not solve the issue.
    Looking more closely at the text rendered, it looks as though all of the characters for each word are actually being rendered, but they are just being rendered in correctly. Where as if it was a encoding issue then it would be missing characters completely.
    So if you look at the first character, in the correct version it is built up of 3 components. If you look at the second image, you can see that these three components are present but just not all appearing within one character.
    Is this a font issue? or is it actually an encoding/rendering issue?
    My code for testing this is just a simple label tag
    <s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" />
    Many thanks.

    Ok so after doing a bit more of an investigation into the Font being the issue and not the encoding type, it seems as though if I use a specific font which I know has the Thai characters, then they are displayed correctly.
    I have embedded the font into the App using the code:
    [Embed(source="../assets/Kinnari.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true", fontFamily="ThaiFont")]
      private var ThaiFont:Class;
    Then on my UI I have added the font:
    <s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" fontFamily="ThaiFont" />
    I was able to find this font at a Hawaiian Educational website! Thai fonts :: Thai Language Program, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
    Thanks @tooMuchTrouble for your help.

  • Flash Animation: Font Not Displaying Correctly

    Hi all!
    I am having a problem with a Flash animation in Captivate that seems like it should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
    I have a very simple Flash animation that I developed in CS5. It previews in Flash perfectly, play correctly in Flash Player, but when I insert it into Captivate 4 the fonts do not display correctly. Capital letters are missing as well as other letters.
    It's not a matter of AS2 vs. AS3 as I have already tested that. It also is not a frame rate or version issue as I have confirmed they are the same rates and the same version.
    Can anyone shed any light? Anyone else had this same problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    Hi dmendoza2,
    Did you embed your fonts into the flash animation?  Make sure all characters necessary are embedded.

  • Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
    I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
    Anyone else notice this?

    It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
    I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
    var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
    tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
    this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
    The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

  • Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

    Hi
    I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
    I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
    But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
    When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
    abc
       Type:Type1
       Encoding:ANSI
       Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
       Actual Font Type : Type 1
    def
       Type:Type1
       Encoding:ANSI
       Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
       Actual Font Type : Type 1
    uifont.ali entries
    [ PDF:Subset ]
    # This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
    # Arial = "Arial.ttf"
    # The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
    # REPORTS_PATH.
    abc= "abc.ttf"
    def="def.ttf"
    In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
    I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
    Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

    In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!
