Embedded Fonts Question?
Please look at the blog headlines on this page and tell me, are they using embedded fonts? What font is this? Link: www.deliciousdays.com
The headlines look so clean... I would also like to know any disadvantages to using their method. Thanks!
There is no problem with an automated system to generate images from
text and upload the image files as part of the automated maintenance
of the blog. Indeed, that is what computers are for. The URLs like
http://www.deliciousdays.com/wp-content/image-headlines/temp/b015dce6bcb8136258bbc7d8ebc00 391.png
speak volumes about an automated system.
>They must be using some other method.
Are you disagreeing with the statement that the headlines are actually
images?

For some reason I can't seem to get any embedded fonts to show up. Can anyone explain why the following doesn't work?
Using the newest Flash Builder.
Thanks!

Can anyone asnwer the following regarding embedded fonts in a Flex 4 application (component):
1. Is the font file the same for Macintosh and Windows-based machines?
2. Do embedded fonts look as good as system fonts?
Thanks.I'm not sure I understand #1. Data from the font file specified is copied
into the SWF and used by the player to render fonts on all platforms. The
OS is not handed the file to do the font rendering.
Embedded fonts are the only way to guarantee consistency between platforms
and machines. If someone doesn't have the font you want to use, on most
OS's you will get some approximation of the font. Embedded font display
quality is not controlled by font-smoothing options on the user's machine.
You should see what a non-embedded font looks like when rotated on XP with
font-smoothing off. -
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
JeremyThe 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. -
Hi there, this questions sounds a bit lame but it got me puzzled. I have to produce a pdf where the client (without any design skills)
can edit some parts of the text without having the font so the pdf must have embedded fonts.
When I check the pdf in Acrobat X is says "FontName (embedded subsets)" but when I open this pdf on another machine without that
specific font and want to edit the text with TouchUp, I get a dialog box saying: "All or part of the selection has no available system font.
You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font."
I'm exporting directly from ID CS5.5. What am I missing here?It's not wheter the font is free or paid, it's waht the internal settings are that determine if a font can be embedded, and if so what use can be made of the embedded font. Though not about ID or PDF, this article from Microsoft gives a good overview of embedding restrictions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533034%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
That said, if you see the same error message with a lot of different fonts (try something common, like Arial that ought to be on almost every computer, too), then something else is probably at play. -
I need to embed a standard font (such as Times New Roman) and make it so that the document opens with this font presented. I see information on embedding fonts, but nothing related to the second part of my question. Thanks.
The second part is automatic. If you manage to embed a font (for example with Preflight in Acrobat Pro), then a PDF viewer should use that. In some cases a locally installed font of the SAME NAME might take preference, which is only a difficulty if a private edited font is used.

Missing characters in CFF embedded fonts
Our application loads embedded fonts on the fly. I'm in the process of converting our text handling to FTE and switching over to CFF fonts, but I've noticed that for a couple of fonts, there are characters that are damaged, or missing entirely. The same text renders correctly when the font is installed as a system font, and also when it's embedded in the non-CFF format, so CFF embedding is choking on something, but I have no idea what. Nor do I see a lot of knobs that I can twist to control the CFF output.
For example, Budmo Jiggler (http://www.dafont.com/budmo-jiggler.font). When embedded as CFF, the letter "B" isn't rendering correctly:
This occurs in both the 10.3 and 11.3 players.
My embedding code is autogenerated for all fonts and looks like this:
// GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
[SWF(width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF", frameRate="30")]
public class BUDMO extends Sprite {
[Embed(source='/Users/bsharon/src/Bueller/as/fonts/ttf/Budmo Jiggle/BUDMO.ttf',
mimeType="application/x-font",
fontName='embedded_BUDMO',
unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00FF',
embedAsCFF='true',
fontWeight='normal',
fontStyle='normal')]
public static var embedded_BUDMO:Class;
[Embed(source='/Users/bsharon/src/Bueller/as/fonts/ttf/Budmo Jiggle/BUDMOB.ttf',
mimeType="application/x-font",
fontName='embedded_BUDMO',
unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00FF',
embedAsCFF='true',
fontWeight='bold',
fontStyle='normal')]
public static var embedded_BUDMO_Bold:Class;
trace("Registering font embedded_BUDMO");
Font.registerFont(embedded_BUDMO);
trace("Registering font embedded_BUDMO_Bold");
Font.registerFont(embedded_BUDMO_Bold);
The code is compiled like so: mxmlc --static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -output <swf_file> <as3_file>. There are no warnings.
So...what do I try next?I will close my own question by saying that if I convert the TTF files to OpenType, the problem goes away. I would have preferred not to bang my head on this particular wall, but at least I have a workaround now.

Module not unloading if embedded font was ever used
So, I have a test app that uses modules with the font embeded. Using ModuleManager I am able to load up the module. Once I call IModuleInfo.factory.create(), I am then able to setStyle("fontFamily", "BPDiet") and the font does show up. The issue I am now having is that once I have used a font from a module, even if my TextArea is no longer using it (I even tried removing the textArea, and replacing it with a new one), the module will not unload.
I read through this "What We Know About Unloading Modules" and I think I am not leaving any references around.They are loaded using the load() defaults. There is no code (that is used) in the module. The modules are not being added to the display, so they never receive focus.
Note that I am unable to run the profiler as suggested in the article as I don't have the premium Flash Builder 4. <grrr>
Note that the first module that is loaded, I can never get to unload, even if I never used the font embedded in it, but all subsequent modules will unload, if I do not use the embedded font. I can live with the first one being pinned as long as I can unload the others that are not in use.
Here is the code from one of my modules:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

A couple things to note; I am calling System.rc() in the unloadCurrentFont() method just to speed up seeing the SWF unload in the debug console. The DoNonImportantWork() is there to just cause some events to happen and to create some objects that will need to be GC'ed. It also let me know that the fonts are not getting registered in Font.
I'm going to have 30 fonts (and more, that designer is busy) that I will need to be able to dynamically load, but right now, loading them with CSS style modules blows up after about 15 because style modules register the font so I cannot unload the CSS swf.To help eliminate the question of whether the TextArea is being held by something else, I have removed it from the MXML, and now programatically create it. That did not help.
So, I got the trial version of Flash Builder 4 installed on another machine in the office so that I can use the profiler. (The profiler is pretty cool by the way).
After a lot of profiing, I found four paths to the module's FlexModuleFactory.
Two of those paths go to EmbeddedFontRegistry, whose data is static. I could get into it and remove font entry and free up the moduleFactory from there. This is a hack, that entry in/on EmbeddedFontRegistry.font should have been cleaned up by the code removing the fontFamily from the TextArea. (Note that EmbeddedFontRegistry is marked [ExcludeClass], which I assume means I should not really be messing with it.
The other two I cannot get to as they are anonymous. They also don't appear to be referenced, as the Object References shows them both as GC root objects. Here is a screen shot:
I did a search through the sdk code and 'fbs' only shows up as a parameter on the init function of various Marshal support classes, but is not used in the init()
Anyway, these references to the FlexModuleFactory do not get held if I do not use the embeded font in the module.

I really think I've reached the end of what I can do. This really seems like a bug. -
Hi,
I had a piece of information but I can't seem to find it anymore so I have to ask ...
This is about understanding limitations of fully embedding fonts in a PDF (from Indesign Server). Actually it's about one limitation in particular. I know fonts with licensing issues or fonts that are marked "embedded not allowed" will not be embedded. Also, there is a threshold that I need to set.
So, I recall reading somewhere that Indesign will not fully embed "standard" fonts. Is that correct and what is this standard fonts category?
Oh, reading through some posts, I noticed lots of people and experts ask why does one need fully embedded fonts. That's a good question and I don't know the root reason but in my case it seems that some regulatory agencies (in the life sciences/pharma domain) require PDFs with fully embedded fonts.
Many thanks
CristianOn behalf of Adobe:
(1) For both InDesign “PDF export” (including InDesign Server) and Illustrator “save as PDF” functions, most but not all of the .joboptions file font embedding options are totally and utterly ignored. The options that are ignored are the Embed all fonts, Embed OpenType fonts, Always embed, and Never embed. Those options are observed by Distiller and the PDFMaker components of Acrobat.
(2) These applications will attempt to embed all fonts referenced by the document, regardless of the settings of the .joboptions file. The only reason why a font would not be embedded in a PDF file would be if (a) the font was unavailable (i.e., not installed on the system) or (b) the font's embedding permissions do not permit embedding for at least preview and print privileges. Thus, if you use the so-called Standard .joboptions (strongly not recommended for any graphic arts purposes), even the base 14 fonts (four faces each of Helvetica, Times, and Courier along with Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats will be embedded if your document references them.
(3) The subset threshold value of 0 (zero) may effectively cause all the glyphs of a font to be embedded in some, but not all cases. This will work for many if not most Type 1 fonts and some smaller TrueType and OpenType CFF fonts. Note that embedding all glyphs in a font is not the same as embedding a full font. For OpenType and TrueType fonts, InDesign and Illustrator never embed all the tables of the font. Such unembedded tables include those used for pair kerning, advanced OpenType features (such as ligatures, alternate representations, contextual alternates, small caps, old style figures, etc.), and extended metrics.
(4) There are plenty of bubbameissas out there with regards to the benefits or liabilities of either fully embedding or subset embedding fonts. What is true is that: (a) Acrobat never uses the embedded font for text editing - you must have the font installed on the system in order to do such edits. (b) Subset embedding or not is totally irrelevant to what a RIP does when rendering text, either for PostScript or direct PDF RIPs. Neither subset or full embedding is any more reliable than the other and the specifications of PostScript and PDF do not permit the RIP to replace the embedded font with a font with a similar name - urban legend notwithstanding!!!! (c) Third party plug-ins to Acrobat or applications that claim to allow you to edit PDF files with embedded fonts may be illegally letting you do so if the embedding permissions do not permit embedding for editable embedding or installable embedding - most fonts do not provide such embedding permissions and since the fonts are missing metric information, such editing may be somewhat lacking in quality or features.
(5) In fact some very non-tech-savvy organizations have posted requirements for full embedding of fonts in submitted PDF files (I have personally seen one such requirement by some international bureaucracy). They can post such bone-headed requirements based on limited understanding of PDF and PDF workflows, but that doesn't mean that anybody actually provides such PDF files. If in fact you run into such requirements, I would appreciate it if references to same can be forwarded to my attention by private message on these forums.

Cannot extract the embedded font 'IEOFAD+TimesNewRoman'.
I am a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe reader X 10.1.4 user. When I'm opening a pdf file, this error message come out: Cannot extract the embedded font 'IEOFAD+TimesNewRoman'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
How do I solve this problem? Thanks.Your question pertains to the Mac version of Adobe Reader. I've moved it to the Adobe Reader forum.

Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
Error message is :
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
- All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
- the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
The solution :
- to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
- is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
Thx,
RegardsJust to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
Here are the sections I deleted:
Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
I did leave the entourage settings though.
hope it helps someone with a similar issue. -
Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI
The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
pc?
if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server? we've seen some indication, that they

The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

Embedded font issues -- Flex not measuring properly
I started this out in one thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/470702 ) and it has progressed into a new, bigger issue. I embedded fonts using the code below. Flex is not measuring them properly or the font I'm using is vertically challenged. I suspect the font I am embedding has different vertical spacing than the default font. I have determined the fonts are embedding by rotating the containers.
Here's an example of what I'm getting:
The right side radio button is the raw display (height works out to 23), the left side radio button I forced the height to 15. Both the radio buttons are set to exactly the same y coordinate. You can see the right hand text is not centered on the radio button. I don't want to go thru the hassle of adjusting every single component height to make the font look centered plus that's an ugly workaround.
I don't think there is anything wrong with my code nor do I think a font swf will help. I sure would like to know what's going on but it is beyond my understanding. Here's my thought. I like the default font the compiler uses when I DON"T embed fonts, looks like this:
I figure if I could embed this font, everything would work properly. I just don't where this font lives. The docs indicate the default font is _serif but it looks more like _sans to me. And I don't know the hierarchy for my platform.
So... Does anyone know either how to fix this measurement issue or where I can find THE True Type font or swf or something that Flex uses as a default so I could embed it?

global {
font-family: MainFont;First off, yes there was a correction to the left hand radio button. I forced the height of the button to be different and that seemed to help center things
After a bit of beating my head against the way, I decided to run a simpler test. I set up a case where I had default fonts side by side with embedded fonts. Since my default.css file had Verdana I decided to use a Verdana embedded font. I figured I could compare them directly and maybe play with advanced anti-aliasing at the same time. I've attached the files (change the txt extension to mxml)
The result was a somewhat of a surprise. I didn't realize that all text really wasn't centered on the component (eg radio button, checkbox) at my default size and below. I do see the small pixel shift, especially in the Button.
So... I have found the "real" font declaration in the defaults.css file, am seeing the small pixel shift with embedded fonts, that using advanced anti-aliasing can help on smaller text, and realized I have to be very careful where I use font sizes smaller than default. I'm guessing that the "perfect" default size on my system would be 12 since that appears what my Verdana.ttf font is based on. My defaults.css file has the font size set at 10. The inability to measure properly is exacerbated when the fonts are embedded.
Now the real question -- anyone have a clever fix? -
Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?
No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?

Make DataGrid smarter about when and how to calculate the modulefactory for its renderers when using embedded fonts
QE Notes: 2 Mustella tests fail:
components/DataGrid/DataGrid_HaloSkin/Properties/datagrid_properties_columns_halo datagrid_properties_columns_increase0to1_halo
components/DataGrid/DataGrid_SparkSkin/Properties/datagrid_properties_columns datagrid_properties_columns_increase0to1
These fixes get us to measure the embedded fonts correctly when going from 0 columns to a set of columns so rowHeight will be different (and better) in those scenarios

Sorry, if this reply seems like a products plug (which it is), but this is really how we solve this software engineering challenge at JKI...
At JKI, we create VI Packages (which are basically installers for LabVIEW instrument drivers and toolkits) of our reusable code (using the package building capabilities of VIPM Professional). We keep a VI Package Configuration file (that includes a copy of the actual packages) in each of our project folders (and check it into source code control just as we do for all our project files). We also use VIPM Enterprise to distribute new VI Packages over the network.
Also, as others have mentioned, we use the JKI TortoiseSVN Tool to make it easy to use TortoiseSVN directly from LabVIEW.
Please feel free to contact JKI if you have any specific questions about these products.
Thanks,
-Jim
