Embedding Unicode fonts

I have difficulties embedding fonts with Flash CS3 IDE.
I have to display English, Russian and Japanese characters in
dynamically created text fields. I created font symbols in the
Library, checked "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in first
frame" boxes.
Now I have the following code: (see below).
Russian and English characters are displayed, but not
Japanese.

Thanks Steve, but I already solved the problem. Look at http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum11/HTML/005241.html

Embedding unicode font problem

Hi All,
       I am developing a flex application for Tamil language. I want to use tamil text in all the controls.
When I embed a tamil unicode font with the application, it doesn't render the text properly because of the glyphs.
@font-face {
            src: url('assets/latha.ttf');
            font-family: 'latha';
            unicode-range:
            U+0054-U+0054,
            U+0061-U+009F,
            U+002E-U+002E,
            U+0B80-U+0BFF;
        .MyEmbeddedFont {
            font-family: 'latha';
            font-size: 18px;
Is it possible to render the glyphs fonts correctly in flex?
Can any one help in this?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply.
The embed font is working fine. The tamil characters are displayed in controls if it doesn't contain any glyphs. It is the problem only with the glyph characters.
The used font contains glyphs and works well in other platforms.
In my flex application the glyphs are rendered incorrectly.
I tried the recipe that you have written in the cookbook. But it is not resolved?
Do you I need to update any settings in the compiler?
Or I anything need to be added in the code?

IOS6 JERKY SCROLLING, BROWSING WITH UNICODE FONTS

Unicode font have been used for many years.
We use Burmese Unicode fonts name Zawgyi Unicode font to view our language on web.
We use special apps (Mogok, Myanmar Browser lite) for viewing on iPhone and iPad as this font is not embeded.
They are OK to view all our language sites without problems prior iOS 6.
Now with iOS6, the problem comes.
Safari engine rendering for web pages causes those apps frozen.
If we type email with this unicode font, it is frozen.
Frozen means it freezes for 10 seconds on every action triggered from your touch.
Imagine how annoying!
Not even that font, Apple approved Myanmar Unicode font also have the same issue.
I have tested it already.
Here is the web link (http://chawsufoodfriends.blogspot.com) you can browse on iOS Safari and you won't see the language display but you will see what happening. If you download the apps that I have mentioned, you will be able to view the fonts.
I can send you test email and see the problem in Mail App as well.
This is not only happening on my iPhone and iPad...I have called my friends, and all have the same issue.
So, it is clearly A BIG BUG.
I love Apple products. But now I am very very frustrated how they manage, how they release products and softwares.
I have never seen it is released recklessly.
I don't find "Attention to Detail" anymore.
We are now holding back and reviewing for our next gadgets.. Thank you Apple.

I have a correspondence with a gentleman from Apple ( I would think he is from the developement team) and he said "I just saw your email with the sample text and confirmed that there is a problem reading the text. I will look into it and file the appropriate defect report."
So now our case is noticed and it will be taken care of appropriately.
Let's cross our fingers and see the wonderful result on the next update.
PS. Whoever read this thread and if you are concerned with Burmese fonts problems, please submit bugreport at Apple.
https://bugreport.apple.com/
If you need any assistance on submitting report, let me know. we will help you out on this forum.
Or you can find some discussion at this thread.
The more we submit bug report, the more it will be noticed by Apple Developers and it would be taken care of soon.
We will be very much appreciate with your help.
Thanks

Embedding Unicode Characters

Dear List
I am at a loss with flash fonts embedding once again.   I am using Flex 3 for coding and the Flash 4 IDE for font and assets management.
I used the following steps to include the fonts:
CS4 IDE:
1) Library : New Font 'HelveticaNeueRegular' mapped to Helvetica Neue Regular
2) Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1 enabled
3) Class Name: HelveticaNeueRegular
4) Base Class: flash.text.font
5) Publish file as swc
Flex:
6) Include the swc file in the project.
7) Code: Font.registerFont(HelveticaNeueRegular);
External XML:
8) Use an external xml file for all dynamic text. Define css classes with the span tag
External CSS:
9) Define the styles like this:
.articleText{
    font-family:"Helvetica Neue";
    font-size:15;
    color:#000000;
The Problem:
Now the above works fine, but when I try to display special characters such as superscripts or Caron accents they don't show up.
What I've tried:
I've tried to put an additional textfield with the additional characters (ie: ²Žž) to embed on the stage in the CS4 IDE as well as in the library as a separate symbol with the export in 1st frame enabled. In both cases I included the characters with the text property option 'Character Embedding' > 'Include these Characters' and I also put the characters in the textfield itself. I used both the real name of the font as well as the Libaray Font name (ie: HelveticaNeueRegular*)
No luck
Any suggestions on how to get these special unicode character outlines to display?
Thank you all
Regards
sk

Thank you again. I remember having a hard time finding a suiteable and working solution to embed the outlines for xml / html text / external css. Somehow all other solutions had some sort of drawback or plainly didn't work. Since I do have the CS4 IDE I would imagine that above solution should work. In the past putting a dynamic text field on the stage and embedding additional characters through the property window would work.
Not sure what to do now...
I guess I can try again to embed the fonts by linking it directly to the font in the Flex IDE and then specify the unicode fonts there. I will give it a shot. If someone knows of a way of making this work in CS4 > export to .swc for Flex (as3 project) please let me know.
Much thanks to everyone.
Regards
sk

Flex3 Not Displaying Sinhala Unicode Fonts in the MXML File

I am using Flex 3.2 for my project.
I want use Sinhala Unicode Fonts But inside the Mxml File I cannot type the Sinhala Characters.
When I change the Keyboard to Sinhaha inside the Flex3 Sinhala Characters are not dispalying.
But when I run the application I can see the fonts in the Browser.
I am using Windows 7.
Thanks

Thanks Tom. Yeah, I understand that PDFs are not designed to work like word-processing files, etc., and the need to have the Chinese text copy over well is really just to prove that the document is searchable (i.e. if it can copy a short section of text Ok, then it means the characters are recognized by the PDF reader and I can search the document, which is my main goal.)
The problem I mentioned with Preview, etc., is actually a new one; one that has become a big problem for me only in the last few weeks. Before, I never had this issue. I'm not sure what changed, but I was suspecting MacKeeper and their "language cluster" cleaning feature, where it "helps" you by removing unused fonts. Though, I can't quite confirm that this has played a role. I just completely reinstalled the OS thinking that this would fix the issue by installing all the original fonts again, if MacKeeper did indeed remove the fonts these PDF programs use when editing or saving PDF files. However.....unfortunately....the problem is still here.
So, that developer I mentioned in the first thread who said this is an OS X issue may indeed be correct.
And just to be clear, I have confirmed that the PDF's I working with do have the fonts embedded already. It is only when I alter them and then save or export from Preview, Skim, Nomad, etc., that the character information gets stripped out and I'm left with a document that one can read but cannot search. I can't even OCR it because this problem also affects my OCR software, as if it can't get access to the fonts needed to embed in the recognized PDF.
Any other thoughts? I'd appreciate any you have.

Adobe Acrobat XI - Preflight tool - error List of CIDs missing in CIDSet of embedded CID font

Hello,
I am generating a PDF documents with use of Apache FOP where fonts are pasted to the document. I am getting an error "List of CIDs missing in CIDSet of embedded CID font" and I am curious. Since the cid is not found in the provided font how acrobat is able to find the correct character? I also run analyse which checks if all text in the file use embedded fonts and the result was fine.
Could you explain this behaviour?
What kind of problems may result from missing the cids?
Thank you for response.

So it is (how Bill@VT said) problem of generating the result pdf document. Does a font have to meet some requirements? Because I can see the characters in a font viewer but after embedding I see the error.
Also I would like to ask for correction and if I get righ how the correct character is found.
We work with TTF fonts.
1. For embedded fonts
pdf file contains table with glyf ID and glyf representation
pdf file contains cmap which maps Character code (unicode) and glyfID
during rendering a file finding correct glyf is clear since we have character code
2. CID fonts
pdf file contains table with glyf ID and glyf representation
pdf file contains CID table wich maps CID and glyfID ( CIDToGIDMap)
pdf file contains table which maps character code (Identity-H, Unicode) to CID
during rendering we have character code and we get CID
based on CID is looked up character metrics
based on CID is found glyf representation
Is here something what I am missing or I forgot to point out?

Need help with Tamil unicode fonts in Macbook OSX 10.6.7

I am really desperate for some help figuring out my Tamil unicode font problem. With great difficulty I got all these fonts set up on my previous ibook G4. When that computer died in the fall I got this new Macbook, and had all my data brought from the old computer to the new one. Fonts were working great, as before. Well recently I had a hard drive failure on my new Macbook (OSX 10.6.7). I now have a new hard drive, and I brought over all my data from an external hard drive using Time Machine. Everything appeared to be working great....except the Tamil fonts. Previously I was using Murasu Anjal unicode font which allowed me to type in Tamil font and view Tamil on webpages, no problem. I understand that Snow Leopard has Tamil font support (including Anjal), so I am confused as to why they were working before but are not working now-especially because on my husband's Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.5) you can see Tamil fonts on webpages and he has no special Tamil font installed whatsoever. For me the only thing visible is boxes. I am in the midst of finishing up a dissertation which is really dependent on being able to read and write in Tamil fonts. I am desperate to get this fixed but just cannot seem to figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice!!! Thanks so much!!!

I've always used the Anjal keyboard with no problem...at least there was no problem before my MacBook hard drive had to be replaced, with a newer operating system, as I had mentioned previously. When I type in Pages, NeoOffice or TextEdit, the results are the same. Many of the characters show up, but vowel combinations--especially the "o" or "u" vowels--show up incorrectly or are unintelligible. Strangely, typing in Tamil font (using Anjal keyboard) in internet searches works perfectly, but ONLY in Firefox (?) NOT in the Safari browser. Prior to re-installing the InaiMathi font, which had seemingly vanished with the transfer of my data to the new hard drive, I was unable to type Tamil anywhere, not even in Firefox. Now it works only in Firefox. For example, if I were to type in Tamil in this window, it works fine: தமிழ் நாடு.
Being able to do Tamil searches in Firefox as I had previously is really a major boon for me, but of course I'd love to be able to produce Tamil text, especially as I am about to embark on a 6 month research jaunt to South Asia.
Many thanks for all your help thus far, and for any further advice you might have.

Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

Bengali Unicode fonts in InDesign CS6

Dear InDesign Gurus,
How do I type using "Bengali" (Unicode) fonts in InDesign CS6? I've tried to copy/paste the text from an existing word document on to an InDesign document, but it shows up with square blocks! I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64Bit OS.
Is this even possible? Would someone please provide me some detail steps?
Many thanks in advance.
Simon

Cyndee,
As I said, I'm fairly new in ID, would you kindly tell me the steps so that I know what to do?
Ellis,
I am working with a ID Magazine template. Obviously the template has blocks and pre-written text inside those blocks. If I try to delete the text (without deleting the BOX + contents within) and paste the Bengali text from some other document, some of the characters do not stay in place. Whereas, if I just create a text box and paste the text inside the new box, texts show properly.
So my question to you Gurus is... how can keep the template I'm using and just replace the text within text box and save time. Would someone plz guide me?
Thanks for your professional help!

Is ID exported PDF considered non-editable? (In the case of view&print embedding permission fonts)

Hiya!
I am a graphic designer and I use InDesign 5.5.
I have a question about font embedding when using the InDesign's export as a PDF in "print" format feature.
Many fonts allow embedding into digital documents only for the purpose of viewing and printing.
In addition to this the font EULA's mention that the embedded font may not be used to edit the document.
Is it possible to create a non-editable PDF with embedded fonts?
Is choosing PDF export option "print" the key here, or embedding the fonts as a subset?
Isn't it still possible to edit PDF in Acrobat with touch up text tool? Or use some third party editing program?
OR Is a PDF file - with fonts embedded as a subset - non-editable as such, or at least considered to be non-editable enough?
Or is it just that the file doesn't really have to be non-editable, but it must not be edited...
How do I ensure that? Do I even need to ensure that?
Whole thing seems so controversial.
Hope someone can shed some light into this!!!
-Ahlax-

Ahlax,
There are several separate concepts here.
First, PDF is really a final form file format. It wasn't designed as an editable format for layout such as InDesign's .indd format ane Word's .doc and .docx formats. Although PDF files may be tagged with contextual metadata, typical content of PDF files contains no context in terms of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, etc. It is simply graphical objects including text fragments, vector artwork, and raster images at a particular place on a page with specified graphical attributes (color, transparency, etc.). As such producing a full PDF file editor first requires definition of what it actually means to edit such a file given the characteristics of PDF files.
That having been said, Acrobat and various third party plugins to Acrobat as well as third party applications provide some degree of editability for PDF files, recognizing that such edits are definitely not at the abstractual level that you get with InDesign. You can “touch-up” text, but doing a re-layout is effectively impossible. In most cases, it is better (in terms of time, effort, and resultant quality) to go back to the source document, make the changes there, and then regenerate the PDF.
Fonts are a totally separate issue. Adobe products will not embed any font into a PDF file unless the font allows for at least preview and print embedding. For PDF forms, Acrobat requires a font to allow editability embedding. However for text touch-up and other edits, Acrobat never uses the embedded font. Such edits are only allowed if the user has the same font actually installed on their system.
In terms of forcing a PDF file to be totally non-editable, that is done by applying security to the file when you export the PDF file from InDesign (the Security tab) or in Acrobat Pro after PDF creation (go to the Security tab under Document Properties (Ctrl-D) to set such security).

Unicode Font in a PDF report (iTextSharp)

I tried to use unicode font (Arial Unicode MS - arialuni.ttf) in a PDF document generated with iTextSharp. I am able to create the PDF document with this font.
In the iTextSharp documentation, we are suppose to be able to send unicode, but I don't understand how to do this in Labview.
I read A List of Tips and Tools for using Unicode in LabVIEW but I am stuck. Any ideas?

I don’t have the new version in my actual computer. I will go by memory.
1)      I found no way to connect a LabVIEW string to an Unicode iTextSharp phrase or paragraph;
2)      The only way I found is to add a .NET string (mscorlib.system.string --> Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane) to an iTextSharp phrase or paragraph.
3)      You construct this .NET string with an array of UTF16.
To construct the U16[ ]:
1)   I wrote the text in NotePad (Unicode).
2)   I copy the string in a LabVIEW string (not Unicode);
3)   I remove the BOM;
4)   I swap the bytes (2 bytes by to 2 bytes) and I typecast in U16.

Embedding Adobe fonts in a folio: any issues?

Adobe's font licensing terms/faq don't seem to address embedding Adobe fonts in a DPS folio.
I'm assuming that folio-embedding terms will be the same as PDFs -- that is, fonts that are okay for print and preview embedding in a PDF are okay for folios, too.
Is there an official policy for folio embedding? Anyone have this issue come up already?
Thanks!

There's actually two issues here that need attention. If you're just outputting to default DPS folios then the pages become for all intents and purposes images so there's no real font-related issues. The more difficult area is if you're embedding your own html files that use Adobe fonts. I'd imagine things get more coplicated here.
