Faux SC different glyphs to real font ID CS3 OSX

Hi Guys and Girls.
Here is my dilema of the week...this has been causing me grief since CS2...
In Suitcase (or whatever) open a Type One font which has a small cap (but don't open the small cap font.)
In this example I'm using BodoniTwelveEF-Book. (do not open BodoniTwelveEF-BookSC)
Open a new document type a line of text.
Apply the BodoniTwelveEF-Book font to the line of text.
Apply the faux small cap setting from the character pallet or the character Control window.
Create a PDF of that page (I made a PS of it first then distilled it into a PDF)
Now go back to your suitcase and activate the SC font (BodoniTwelveEF-BookSC)
Go back to ID...you should see the font change, PDF that page and compare side by side...(or see below)
Now back to the InDesign document.
go to your suitcase and turn off the BodoniTwleveEF-BookSC font then goto Indesign doc.
Your should see something like this:
font gone to pink lowercase but still showing as SC under the character font window.
And when the SC font is opened it goes back to normal
Like this:
In other words I cannot get the small caps to revert back to the original faux small caps. It's like the computer has remembered that I had the actual SC font open at one point...
This is frustrating as people here at work sometime use the faux font the first time then somehow the SC version of the font because active (maybe on another job) and this screws up other jobs faux font...
If that makes some sense...
Dear Abode...I'm going to post this everywhere... as I can reproduce this time and time again on various machines...

What you would want is impossible since you have two different fonts.
.. the real SC font ..
There are no "real SC fonts" -- this is where you get confused. It's a separate font, where the lowercase characters are drawn to look like small caps. This is what changing the font to another shows you -- correctly.
No, I don't accept that.
Why doesn't the font revert back to being a Faux SC if the actual SC font is switched off and now is not active.
Instead it reverts to a lowercase "pink" even though the SC button is pressed... have a look at the screen grab...
In other words...
Step One: I started using a Faux SC, which worked and PDF'd
Step Two: I activated the SC font in suitcase, which InDesign naturally used instead of the Faux SC (this changed the appearance of the SC characters which client didn't like and want the previous SC (Faux SC) reinstated.
Step three: Switch off the SC font from suitcase think ID will reinstate the Faux SC appearance...but it didn't. it instead made the the font pink and lowercase, which I assumed it would do because I haven't changed any font in the document. Only activated and deactivated one font in Suitcase...

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

Fonts from cs3 to latest version

I just downloaded a trial of the latest version. (I have been using CS3) there are a bunch of fonts that are nor showing up now. I assumed the fonts were linked to my system, not Illustrator, Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I'm using Windows 7 and no real font management system. I would love to find a system to have more immediate control over fonts though. Any reccos?

Font Book in 10.7 is retarded. I need recommendations for a good font manager for OSX

On our 10.5.8 G5, I'm using Extensis Suitcase.
Our new Mac Pro is running 10.7 and I need to install fonts, but Font Book seems to cry about just about every font I want to install. So, where are the best font managers for OSX as of right now? Is Extensis still the best? Thoughts? Thanks,
Chris

I know what your're talking about. I used to do phone support for an ISP.
Anyway, this last one that has me up in arms says this:
"1 serious error was found. Do not use this font."
This is in the Font Validation window when I try to install into Font Book. It shows the font name "Serpentine-Bold-Bold.ttf" in the window with an expand triangle to the left. To the far right is a red circle with a white X in it. Ahh screw it, here's a screenshot....
This font works perfectly fine on our G5 running 10.5.8

Installing Fonts on CS3

I am so lost; Can someone please tell me how to install downloaded fonts into CS3, I have already extracted them, but for some reason they wont appear in photoshop?

You don't install fonts into CS3. You install them into your operating
system, and then they're available to all applications, including
Adobe's as well as everything else you've installed. See your
operating system documentation or help file or use a google search,
for the specific version of Windows, Mac, Linux, or any other.

Fonts on CS3

Is there a guide that explains how to embed fonts on CS3 without Actionscript?
I'm looking to create a flash object that uses a special font that I have on my computer, but other people may not have. I'd also like to tween the fonts' alpha property on occasion like you would do with a shape.
I have googled to death and found really very little about how to do this apart from breaking apart the text (ctrl-B) so that the font becomes a shape.
Sorry I am a beginner but I am finding fonts on CS3 to be extremely hard.
Thank you for any help, have a nice day!

you can embed the font of a textfield by clicking that textfield (to select it) and, in the properties panel, selecting your font, clicking the embed button and ticking the appropriate checkboxes.

When Patch for embedded fonts and Lion OSX to be released?

Was reading through the thread about the problem with embedded fonts and Lion OSX and a patch being released the 3rd week of August. Does anyone know about the patch being released?

This patch was released as 11.5.9 a couple of weeks ago. See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/895280?tstart=0
You should be able to get it through the Help / Check for Updates menu - but I would definitely be aware that it seems to have created a couple of new issues for some users (documented in other forum posts at forums.adobe.com).

Missing fonts Photoshop CS3 in Win 7

Photoshop worked fine in XP Pro SP 3. I reformatted the HD and installed Win 7. I installed some postscript fonts and they don't show up in Photoshop but show up fine in Framemaker and MS Office products. Any suggestions.

Deleting the font cache files did not help, nor did copy the postscript files to Adobe's common font folder or to Photoshop's font folder. The particular font I wanted to install was Teff's trinite font, but I discovered this is a problem with any postscript files from any company (Tiro Typeworks, Monotype, etc.). I haven't seen this described with Win 7, but searching for a solution, I found that this seems to be an issue with Windows 64 bit systems (XP and Vista) and PS fonts and CS3 products. The only solutions I've found were to use otf fonts (not possible with trinite) or upgrade to CS4 (not something I plan to do, as it is too buggy in Premier, Encore, etc. and I will wait for CS5). Thanks.
The installation was directly through Win 7 "install font" option. As mentioned, these fonts work fine with Framemaker and MS Office 2007 products.

Embeding font in CS3.

Hi,
I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible
on local desktop but not on remote desktop.
Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to
it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this
fontname to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied
this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't
help.
This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf
when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares.
Let me know if I am missing any step.
Thanks in advance.

1. Linkage name must be identical to font name.
2. The name of the text field is not important. It can be
anything like myText.
3. Assign font to text formats font propery as a string
textFormat.font = "Font Name"
4. Set myText.embedFont = true;
Then test. I think the key is that the font name has to be
the same as it would display in the flash font menu. For example,
when I use the font Gotham Book, I have to specify the assignment
string as "Gotham-Book" because that is how flash names the font.
Good luck!

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw, Lucinda and papyrus. How can I access these.

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw Handwriting, Lucinda and Papyrus. How can I access these on cs5? I have not found the fonts for this program to my liking.

I can't find any reference to a handwriting font named Bradshaw anywhere. Are you sure you have the name right? ITC Bradley Hand Regular, along with Papyrus and the Lucida (no "n") family are all included with recent versions of Windows, though, and should be in your font list in CS5 if you are, in fact, running Windows.
Is this the same machine that has CS3 installed? Did you remove CS3? Do the fonts show up in any other programs? Indesign can see fonts that are installed in the system fonts, the Common Files > Adobe > Fonts folder, and the private fonts folder for InDesign in the application folder. If the fonts show in CS3, but not elsewhere, they are probably in the CS3 InDesign Fonts folder.

PDF font viewed Evince different than actual PDF font?

The title says it all. I'm getting a very strange girly font (no offense, but the i's are dotted with hearts) being rendered for all the text on the PDF. Some PDFs that I view in Evince retain their original font. I have no idea why this is happening, and neither do I have this font on my computer. I am so definitely sure about that. Does anyone have ideas?
I'm using Gnome3 if that matters any.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a different pdf viewer? Gimp or inkscape can view pdf files or pages. Epdfview is a lightweight, less feature-full alternative to Evince.
It might help to identify the font. You probably have the poppler package installed. If so, you can use 'pdffonts' to list the fonts used in the problem file. The mupdf package includes 'pdfinfo-mupdf' that can also be used to list the fonts used in a pdf-file.

Font in Illustrator prints different than the same font in a different document

I created two pdfs in Illustrator and on the monitor they look the same because they are the same font, character size, both with the same black fill with no stroke but when they are printed it looks different. One version looks grey while the other looks normal. I have double checked settings, cut and pasted the text into the document that prints correctly and nothing seems to fix this error.It's the second file that doesn't print properly aka BuyzFrontv2 copy.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

One of the problems is that much of the text is in 4-color black, probably as a result of cutting pasting from Word. There is less of it in the second one than the first. You might want to clear this up and then retry.

How to apply a new font for missing glyphs in another font?

The situation:
For an article, I want to use Font1, but some of the glyphs are missing in it, and are highlighted with pink boxes. Font2 have much more glyphs than Font1. I can apply Font2 manually for each of the missing glyphs, but it is tedious.
Question:
Is there a way for InDesign to do such substitution automatically? I.e., apply a default font, which can be specified by user, for all the missing glyphs.
If not, how to search/find those missing glyphs with GREP or script? Since InDesign can identify the missing glyphs and marked them with pink boxes, it seems easily (not to identify the unicode ranges which seems not very easy) to find them using GREP, but I failed to find it.
Any one know how to do this? Thanks.

No. Alas, I might add. There is some sort of auto-catch, specific for Symbol symbols, but no-one knows how it works and you cannot manipulate it yourself.
If not, how to search/find those missing glyphs with GREP or script?
Not specifically, i.e., you cannot search for "any missing glyph". Add a GREP style which changes just the font (make sure it doesn't set the font style as well, or else your Bolds or Italics might disappear). Create a new Preflight profile that checks just for missing glyphs, so you won't miss any.
None of this can be automated though.
.. it seems easily (not to identify the unicode ranges which seems not very easy) to find them using GREP, but I failed to find it.
InDesign's GREP flavor doesn't allow named Unicode blocks (http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html), but I have successfully used character ranges to automatically set the font for Chinese, for example.

Photoshop showing two different sizes for same font size

Hi folks,
I've been using Photoshop for a long time, but this problem has popped very rarely along the way and some how remedied itself - I'd like to know this time what's causing it, and how to solve it.
I'm in a Photoshop document, and I'm working with two different text areas. Both area registering as 14px in size in the Type menu, and yet, they're radically different in size. One is tiny, whilst the other is at least twice, maybe thrice the size. Why is this happening?
I've checked there's no overlapping text areas and things like that, everything should be fairly normal, it just isn't.
I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 x64 for Mac, running on a Macbook Pro Retina 1.83ghz and 8GB ram
Thanks in advance

it seems is that in CS6 when you change your font size using free transform - it "remembers" the original pt size when you select the text itself in a certain way:
The Problem
I am writing the text in 50 pt size
I duplicated the document and scaled the text using free transform in 150%
now when I click inside the text more than once and select some of the letters or even just move the indicator more than once
it shows me it is still 50pt which is of course not true.
so as it appears photoshop can occasionally give you the text size before you made a transformation
The Solution
a way to get around that is to click only once and drag through at the same time with the first initial click
now you can see the true font size is 75 pt and not 50 pt.
to contribute to the confusion it appears the font size in the toolbar stays the same "wrong" size so beware of that
and if you want to be really sure you can select just the layer in the layer panel (not the text)
and you will get your "true" font size.
I made the same test in photoshop CC 14.2.1 and it does not act this way but instead it gives you the "true" font size even if you scale it in free transform
and select clicking more than once.
hope this will clarify the matter.
