Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?

Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

Has anyone experienced text going missing after using Change All in the Find Font dialogue box?

I manage an artwork production studio and two members of staff have separately reported that when using the Change All command to substitute fonts in InDesign's Find Font dialogue box, some text disappears from their documents. All affected text is originally set in the same font, and most of the conversion is fine but a few instances of text are actually removed (not reflowed). In the latest reported case, only four or five instances of text were 'deleted' across two pages of a 20pp document.
I've found a link that refers to the same issue but it's unresolved (http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/Thread/index.lasso?20041#last)
I haven't been able to replicate this behaviour but would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced it and if so, under what circumstances it can occur, and what work-rounds or fixes are available.
Applies to InDesign CS3 and CS4, have not tested with CS5 because we haven't upgraded yet.

Joel, I am having the same problem you described. I have read of similar posts on PrintPlanet.com. Someone there thought it was a different text engine or something in CS4 which may be causing the problem.
I don't know what causes this but I believe it can be traced to a previously created file in CS3 is saved as a CS4 document.
The fonts associated with this problem for me are always Gill Sans, Palatino and some form of Helvetica. There may be others but these are the ones we notice the most.
Today I worked on an InDesign CS4 file. When I opened it I was given a missing font warning. I went to Find Font and it was different typefaces of Gill Sans that was missing. When I changed the missing font to Gill Sans Regular entire lines of text disappeared. I closed the document without saving it and reopened it. I did the same thing in replacing fonts. This time no text disappeared. Not reflowed; not white; not hidden—gone.
This is what I have been seeing for the past few months. The disappearing text is random and cannot be duplicated, though fonts may disappear in some other place. You never know where text will just disappear.
The workaround I have found is to export your file to an INX document and reopen it in CS3. You have to replace all missing text before saving it as INX, though. To my knowledge CS3 has never had this happen.
The workaround, though it works for me, is annoying. I'd like to know what to do to resolve this issue. What's the use in having CS4 if you can't trust it completely.
I use a Mac running 10.6.3. I also have running Suitcase Fusion 2.

CS3 Find Font/Delete Paragraph Style/Redefine Paragraph Style Causes Crash

I am running into a very frustrating issue where I cannot replace a paragraph style. The issue is that we used to use some adobe type fonts and want to move to the true type equivalent so that we don't have problems working on files between mac and pc. The problem occurs on both mac and pc on a variety of hardware (both c86 and ppc macs for example). When we open the document it identifies that the font cannot be found (example Palatino T1). When we click find font and select the regular ttf Palatino replacement and click Change All Indesign just vanishes and leaves a crash message with a ton of garbage and a read only memory error. The same happens if we change the font on some text and right click on aragraph style and click "redefine style" - there is a sudden crash.
Trying to work around this I went into our templates and tried to change it there. Opening the paragraph style and selecting the new font caused it to crash upon selecting OK. Also trying to Make a new paragraph style works, but then when deleting the old one causes a crash no matter what combination of mapping or not mapping the old paragraph style we chose (we tried every option under the dialogue and selected several different styles to map to or none at all).
This occurs on several different fonts and on several different templates. I have tried deleting the adobe font cache to no avail. Any help resolving this would be great - all our employees are going nuts over this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Peter, your latest post led me to an interesting revelation. When I change Palatino (t1) bold to Palatino Bold using Find/Change it is fine. When I change Palatino (t1) to any font using Find/Change there is a curious result! As soon as I click find first the page changes to the default template and all content is hidden. The 4 or 5 places where palatino occurs on the default template change fine, but then on the next click of FIND FIRST it crashes! So the problem is connected to "find first", not the actual change. My guess is this is an issue of with how the find/change jumps from the template to the individual page, but I'm not sure exactly what is happening.

Can You Change the Highlighted Button in the Find Font Palette?

I have several hundred spreads that I converted from Quark to InDesign CC and a few fonts are missing, so I need to replace them. I can use the "Find/Replace" window to take care of most of them using the "find format" function, but one doesn't show up as a choice, so I have to change it using the Find Font palette. I select the missing font name and then select the replacement. Then, if I hit the "enter" button on the keyboard, the palette closes because the highlighted button is the "Done" button. Is there a way to change the highlighted button to the "Change All" one?
Thanks,
Lloyd

John,
Thanks for the reply. I tried using the tab key and although it does change the highlighted button, you can't just press "enter" to select it. I also tried ALT+A (option+A) and it did nothing. I should have mentioned that I'm using a Mac.

Can't find font

I want to use ITC Avant Garde Gothic Book in Indesign. It's showing in Font Book and it's used in an Illustrator file but isn't recognised in Indesign. I'm trying to open an ID file which has the font in it but get a Missing Fonts message with a Find Font button. Clicking the buttons opens a font search option but it's not showing in the font list. Does anyone have any ideas please on why this is happening?
thanks

Try holding down the command key to the left or right of the space bar and pressing "T" to see if that brings it up.
By "hiding off screen" have you been using multiple monitors? It's difficult to drag an object off screen since, because your mouse doesn't go there, you can't drag anything there. However, if you were in a multi screen setup, I could see how that could happen.
Another thing you could try is checking to see if you're currently set up to span your monitor image or mirror. If it's set to span, change to mirror to see if you can find it (F7 key usually works for this as well).

Regarding Find Fonts

Hi All,
I place word file text into InDesign, know i want to change the fonts using JS
For Example:
Find Font Type = Arial Bold
Change Font Type = Helvetica Bold
Can any help.
Hurix

Try this
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Arial"
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold"
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Helvetica LT Std"
app.changeTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold"
app.activeDocument.changeText();
You can change the font family and style as you want...

InDesign "Find Font" deletes text - help!

So I open a file, use 'find font' to find and replace a font. Sometimes when I hit "change all" it deletes entire paragraphs of text. I've tried it with different fonts and it's not consistent. Sometime it deletes, sometimes it doesn't.
Just now, I did a "change font" from Garamond to Univers and lost a paragraph on page one - no text in the box whatsoever. So I did and Undo. Then, I did the exact same "change font" again. Paragraph on first page is fine, one on page 2 goes missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry it took me some time to get back...
#1 original file with the original fonts
#2 I have done a "Find Font" and replaced with Univers. Notice much of the text on page one is missing... it just seems to disappear (delete). In this case, some text in the same box was left, I think because it was a different font that the rest in the original font.
Sometimes it deletes everything in the text box, not just a portion.
Also, I originally suspected my Univers font to be the issue, however, that's not the case. This happens with several different fonts, inconsistently.

Missing "Find fonts" menu item in InDesign CS6

I need to delete some fonts from an existing InDesign document, however, the "Find Fonts" menu is missing. I see "Create outlines" and "Change case" but nothing in between where the find fonts command is supposed to be.
Thanks for any help. Richard

Finder Font... Can it be changed?

I have a user with a reading disability. He can read some fonts better than others.
With OS9 and before the Finder font could be changed as well as the size.
Every since OSX we have not been able to change the font in the finder. Some applications change their default font i.e. Mail.
Why/How did we loose this function with the OSX?
Has anyone been able to find out how to do this?
Thanks

Are they lighter in color than in this screenshot?

CS3: Find Font window on open, no missing fonts.

Is there a way to tell Illustrator not to show the Find Font window when tere are no missing fonts? It's only a whole lot frustrating and annoying.
I'm sure the fonts are activated in Suitcase Fusion (only just slightly less crappy a an option than no font manager at all). Even if they're not and are auto-activated, the problem occurs with three nearly identical files. If fonts were activated opening the first file, then the next two should be fine. If I then close the files then reopen I get the Find Font window again, so auto-activation has nothing to do with it.

My solution has always been to hit cancel and just re-open the file(s) I think Illy looks, sees missing fonts, kicks up the warning, then talks to your font manager, so that the warning will come up even though the font manager is working on it...
Is there a setting in Suitcase that keeps fonts open through a whole session (like until you quit suitcase) rather than closing them when you close the file (as it sounds like is happening for you) I haven't used suitcase since X1 or the one before that, but I seem to remember that closing the offending file and reopening it would work...
edit: on re-reading your post, is there the possibility of conflicting fonts, as in ps and tt versions of the same font? One may be activated, but it may be looking for the other.

CS5 crashes when checking fonts (Find Font) in document from CS3

A number of files and templates imported from CS3 work fine in CS5, but I have multiple multiple files which crash everytime the find font button is pressed followed by "find first".
Some of these files are a very simple template that contains few text lines and place holders.
Has any one else experienced similar problems?

I believe I have found a solution AND a possible cause of the problem of font searching causing CS5 to crash with the windows message "Indesign has stopped working".
The problem occurs when opening a CS3 file, even a very simple one and appears to be caused by CS3 listing fonts that are not actually used in the file. eg the default font.
I have found a solution that has worked so far for all my problem files...
Solution:
Open the CS3 file in CS5
IMMEDIATELY export this file using the Indesign markup format (.IDML)
Open the IDML file and the spurious fonts have disappeared AND the file can now be edited without crashing.
Hope that this assists others,
Ian

IDCS5.5: Preflight "No errors" while Find Font - Error!?

Hello,
I've updated to CS5.5 (Middle Eastern Version).
Working on a Germna text Book,
A strage phenomena has happened.
While Preflight is green and says ok, under Find font it says there is a missing font.
So how come preflight is ok?
I wonder if it happend to anyone under US version, or at all.
All the best,
Shlomit

You might want to send Gabe Harbs a message and have him look at this, too.
Your behavior is differnt from what I see copying the entire frame -- I continue to see the phantom font (which frankly I expect since the font is part of the paragraph formatting). What bothers me is that preflight isn't recognizing that the font is applied. I don't know why that is -- Find Font see it, the style sees it and removing overrides changes it. So the bottom line is maybe you can't trust preflight.
That said, though, I think that perhaps the reason Preflight doesn't see a problem is the missing font isn't actually applied to any text on the page, only to the "character" representing the anchored object. As soon as I add any sort of text character to the line, or change the paragraph mark to the missing font, Preflight kicks out an error.

Crashing when finding font.

When using the find font option in the type menu my Illustrator crashes on the 3rd or 4th time of using this menu option. It's getting extremely frustrating as I've lost hours of work due to this bug! I've tried deleting my preferences and clean installing, as well as regularly installing cloud updates, but nothing works.
Anyone having the same problem?
I am using Illustrator CC on a iMac running OS 10.7.5.
Thanks

Mick,
Just to make sure, you may have a look at Items 1) and 11) here:
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);

IND CS2-CS4 Type Find Font default

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to alter the default font in the window when you go to Type>Find font.
I have to alter, by Find Font, one font in a lot of documents and it would be very time-saving if I could get the default to open with the font I need to change into.
At the moment, when I open this box, I get the default coming up as Times (T) when I'd like it to read - in this instance - Frutiger Std. If I could change this default, it would save me trawling through the drop down list of fonts I have open, on every document to go from Times to Frutiger.
I've tried altering things without any documents open but can't find where I could change this default and I can't get to the window without a document open as the option is greyed out.
I'm working on CS2 at the moment. I have CS4 (but not CS3) but can't use on this job because of the 'linking pictures' issue with client using CS3.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

I don't think there is any way to change that default, but typing the
first letter of the font should get you there quicker than scrolling
through a long list of fonts.
