Flash CS6 - Font will not render as Classic Text, only as TLF

I've been working on a series of Flash animations in which the main font used is Helvetica Neue, which is embedded using the Font Embedding... Menu. Everything was working just fine and then yesterday the font just stopped rendering. I've spent hours thinking that it was an embedding issue-that maybe somewhere the code had been overwritten. But then I opened a new Flash file (AS3) and noticed that I couldn't get a static textfield to display text in the Helvetica Neue font. So then I unintalled my Helvetica Neue fonts and reinstalled them. I cleared my Adobe Font caches and Windows (7) Font caches. I rebooted. Still just an empty text field. Then I tried something radical. I switched the textfield from Classic Text to TLF Text. Well it turns out that TLF textfields display the Helvetica Neue Font just fine.
So what is the deal? In this particular project TLF Text won't work because I have to publish out to Flash Player 8 as part of the project's design requirements. How do I get Helvetica Neue to start working again in Classic Text mode?

If you are on Windows, it could be related to a recent Windows update.  Seems to have started yesterday for a lot of people.   Check out this thread (or any of the other text related threads from yesterday).

The issue is related to the Windows Font Parsers.  Maybe TLF uses it's own.

  • CS6 PPro will not render non accelerated transitions

    Hi,
        I do have a CUDA video card and I'm using the Mercury Playback Engine.  I cannot render any of the transitions on my timeline that are not the accelerated type. Of course the  accelerated transitions don't need to be rendered.  I even tried exporting my short project but the transition I put on the timeline is just  ignored.
    Here's the error message I get when I try to render one of the non- accelerated transitions.
      Suggestions?

    It looks to me like you may have 2 situations here.
    1. if you are using "render effects in to out(Enter)" Premiere will only render the red sections. Use "render in to out(renders everything in to out)" or "render selection".
    2. There is a bug with the Quicktime codec(Adobe Qt server.exe) when you try to export full HD(1920x1080). Renders will fail everytime. It will render up to 720p with no problems though. If you need to export in full HD you can use .mxf wich supports inbedded captions or .mp4(h264).
    Hope this helps!

  • Project will not render with 'I-Frame only MPEG'

    Hey Adobe, I am posting this at your request.    
    I previously used to have an old Intel Core2 chip system.
    I upgraded this so that my video editing life would be faster.  I have a new motherboard, with a new intel I7-4770 @ 3.5Ghz chip. same memory (16Gb-1600), graphics card, hard disk, DVD drive, etc..
    On the Core2 system, video projects which I worked on all worked fine. I mainly use a Sony Z5 to shoot video which creates .M2T files.
    On my old system, running Premiere CC it ALL WORKED - no problems, but on the new build, it crashes EVERYTIME i try to render, with 'Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error'
    Having spent FOUR hours on the phone to your tech supports in India, they came up with a workaround. I stress - it's a workaround, not a solution.
    They found that if i changed the sequence to be 'Custom' and then selected 'Microsoft AVI' (and any Codec, doesn't matter which) as the Preview File Format  instead of 'i-Frame Only MPEG' then yes - it renders.
    The tech told me that this was because 'M2T' files were fussy, and needed to be treated like this.
    WRONG!
    if this *needed* to be the case, then why did it work previously on my old system without any problem?
    Also, if I take a project that crashes on my desktop PC, and copy it over onto my laptop, de-activate Premiere on my desktop and activate on my laptop and run in on there .. IT RENDERS FINE, using the 'I-Frame Only MPEG' setting.
    Also, i shot some video with a Nikon D5100 which produces full HD .MOV clips, *AND THE SAME PROBLEM STILL OCCURS* when rendering on my desktop PC, and only renders when i switch the Preview File Format to be 'Microsoft AVI - so it's not related to the .M2T video file type.    
    So I can render stuff, but ultimately it's a workaround and not a solution, as when I am finished with a project, and want to archive it off I do so by exporting and choosing 'Match Sequence Settings', with with Microsoft AVI selected, it wants to therefore obviously export it as an AVI, which i do not want - I want to export it as 25mbps MPEG which is the original quality/format that it was shot at.  When i try and do this with 'i-Frame Only MPEG' selected as the sequence type - you've guessed it, Media Encoder crashes
    So.  Why does i-Frame Only MPEG work on one machine (my laptop), but on my main machine (desktop) which i want to use, it doesn't? What piece of software/codec/file am I missing?
    - i have installed from clean build of Windows
    - i have deactivated and reactived Premiere CC
    - i have uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it
    - i have uninstalled all Cloud CC programs and reinstalled them
    - I have run CC cleaner too
    - I have the latest video drivers for my graphics card (it is the same graphics card that worked just fine on my old system anyway, so is not the issue)
    - I have full Windows/Admin permissions. it is not a permissions problem
    please don't suggest any of those options.  None of them work.  I need someone who understands your software and knows what i-Frame only MPEG is to be able to tell me why it isn't working on my system.  I am now past the point of anger (because i have lost several days worth of worktime - and thus money) and being upset (because it's massively frustrating when somthing that previously worked now doesn't), and am now just at the point of being bewildered that no one there can seem to tell me what is going on here, and how to solve it.
    Many thanks,
    Geoff.

    I have to put in my 2 cents...and first of all I'm sorry things are happening that are not FANTASTIC results... etc... but there may be ways to make things better... but this stuff is complicated and extremely computer intensive ( math stuff with cpu and ram and stuff ) .. so the platform is very critical to best results.. not just the software.
    There's books on compression and how that stuff works ( lossless or not ) and it's all about changes from frame to frame and how to best make file size smaller while keeping every single pixel perfect in each frame... and this is unfortunately not standardized on planet earth. Different companies make up what they can to sell cameras and recording medium and so on..  there are some standards ( for broadcast and movies etc ) cause at some point some groups have to deal with delivery to PEOPLE to watch stuff.. and have decent quality to watch...
    In general this is very complicated and full of problems cause there is no single work flow , and probably never will be .
    What Jeff is talking about ( I think ) is that during the process of a computer program interpreting images ( frame by frame ) those pixels that have not changed a lot are described in a line of code by the software that says, " This stuff has not changed much if at all ".  Some stuff from one frame to the next one DID change a lot ( someone walking or someone running.. the running changes more fast ) .. and so lines of code say ,  " this stuff changed a LOT "....
    During the process of the software to determine what changed and how MUCH changed.. is complicated.. cause the program basically looks at frame A and then Frame F and notes the changes of pixels... and THEN ( as if that wasn't complicated enough ) the program then goes BACK  to frame A and then ahead to frame J ... so now it has expanded it's look at what changes have occurred...
    Now the ' CODEC " ( the specific codec used by the program you are running , like CC or avid or FCP ) is going to make it's best GUESS as to what really changed that matters the MOST to the image...so you basically get a nice image from A to J ..... but it is now compressed and taking up less room on your hard drive and ram etc....cause it is interpreting the image changes... and so on...
    So if you had every single frame without any guess work and no compression to save space cause those pixels did not change between A and J .... you would have HUGE FILES .... and no benefit in terms of being able to edit anything on a little home desktop computer... even if you have a really powerful one.. it is not going to be good enough to do that stuff....
    It would be unfair to say that adobe isn't doing the best they can to accomodate all the camera manufacturers " codecs " and give the best results they can , with a million different computer platforms and hardware out there you can buy off the shelf ....
    The I frames and B frames and other frames have to do with the " guessing game " of changes in pixels, changes with every " action " in those ranges of frames, and is very complicated... but there are books about it and what standards exist can be researched and studied if you're into that stuff....
    I am an idiot about this stuff but the main thing is dont give up.. and just try to be patient when things dont work out like you thought they would, and figure out what is going on so you can make things work the way you want...
    and good luck !

  • AIR application with Flex 4.5 will not render content. What gives?

    OK,
    So I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and I am unable to develop desktop AIR applications with the 4.5 Flex SDK. I start by simply creating a brand new AIR application using the default SDK (Flex 4.5). I set the title property on WindowedApplication and include a simple Label component. The project compiles fine but when I run the application all I see is the adl window in the dock but that's it. If I modify the Main-app.xml file to set the visible attribute to true, I will get a small window but there is no content although the output window shows the application swf being loaded. Checking the release version of the Main-app.xml file shows the correct path location to the swf.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    Install/reinstall Flash Builder, 4+ times
    Downloaded the trial installation twice
    Downloaded the SDK's for 3.6, 4.1 and 4.5.0. I then copied each SDK folder and merged the AIR 2.6 SDK with each copy. So now I have 6 SDK versions; one pristine and the other with the AIR 2.6 SDK merged. I then added each SDK individually and created an AIR desktop application for each. Each and every one works fine with the exception of the two 4.5 SDK's. They will not render content.
    I created a simple creation complete handler for the application that declares a simple variable and assigns a value to it. I then put a break point on the assignment and it never gets caught. More evidence that the swf isn't getting loaded.
    The computer I'm running on is a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. If I create a web project in each of the 6 SDK's, those will work just fine. What the heck is it with Flex 4.5 and the AIR 2.6 SDK on this machine? I have the AIR 2.6 runtime installed as well as a number of AIR applications that work just fine. I also tried my 4.5 test on my windows machine and that worked like a champ.
    I am completely out of ideas. Finding information has been difficult because everyone is all about mobile so searching for desktop issues is a losing battle. I realize this is a long email but I'm desperate for help. There must be someone out there that knows more about the low level interaction between Flex 4.5/AIR 2.6 and the OS.

    Well, I finally found the issue, a corrupted mm.cfg file in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. I deleted the file and then adl ran just fine.

  • Suddenly fla will not render to swf; freeze; CS3

    I have been making swf's for a long time, but suddenly today, my last one for a project,
    it will not render, and program freezes solid.  What should I do?  The fla seems ok.
    preview in html will not work.  Restarts and permissions did not work.
    AS 2.0 Flash CS3

    In case anyone else has this problem, I solved it myself before getting any response from Adobe. I am on a Mac and the problem was a corrupted FLEXnet Publisher (the licensing system) caused, I think, by making a bootable clone of my HD.  Adobe has the solutions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html.
    In my case I just deleted the Flexnet Publisher folder from HD>Library>Preferences and replaced it with an older backed-up version and then CS3 worked again.
    If you are on a PC google Adobe Flexnet Publisher and there are solutions out there.

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

  • Mac CS6 Bridge will not open

    I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this.  I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2.  She was running Elements 8.  CS6 Bridge will not open.  Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either.  Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files.  Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails.  Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair.  None of this has fixed the problem.  The only thing that works is creating a new user account.  Bridge opens fine in my test account.  Next step is to make test account the main account; however, this is going to be a pain.  Any other ideas before I undertake this?

    Looks like you have tried all the suggested methods, so good job on that.  Your solution to create a new account is one that has worked for many where nothing else has worked.  This usually means some permission or default setting has not been affected by your actions.
    The only suggestion I can offer is to uninstall CS6, run Adobe Script Cleaner, then reinstall.  Hope this works.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

    Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch.

    After a few weeks idol my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch. It tells me a serious error has occurred, it shuts down and the circle continues. I've even reloaded  the app and it happens again. I did upgraded to Yosemite but I can't find anyone else having probs with Yosemite. Any ideas. No luck on the adobe site.

    >did upgraded to Yosemite
    CS6 is about 3 years old... even the latest Cloud versions had to have updates to be compatible... since you have "reloaded" (was that a full uninstall and reinstall?) I have no other suggestions

  • Imovie will not render photos with ken burns effect

    I have started to produce a video and have tried to import photos from both iphotos and straight from desktop however when i do this the red bar showing the state of rendering does not move. The photo will not render and therfor i am unable to use the ken burns effect. Could anyone please give me any idea of what i am doing wrong.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    What file type is Your photos eg .tiff, .pict or .jpg ?
    What size are they eg 1Mb, 10Mb or 100Mb ?
    How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disc ?
    Ps When ready - Don't use Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie. Just drop Your movie icon
    (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    OR - Your movie project in iMovie will be harmed and You'll have to re-do it ! ! AND
    the DVD disc will be severely pixelated - extreme low quality Ds

  • Illustrator 12.0 --  Fonts will not appear in character palette.

    I recently had to reformat my computer, and had to re-install Adobe Illustrator. Ever since fonts will not load in my character palette.
    The only way for me to access fonts is by going to type >> font at the top of the program. I've tried re-installing Illustrator, but have had no luck.
    Any ideas on how to correct this problem? It didn't exist before, and fonts load correctly in Photoshop.

    Jen,
    You may try to
    Move the folder. Sometimes the preferences are wrong from the beginning.

  • Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

    Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

    I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
    Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
    If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

  • Font Will Not Install

    I work for a catalog company and we use the Adobe CS3 suite. After a machine meltdown I had to reinstall my system OS and Tiger Upgrade. After doing so and running one of my catalog pages in indesign I received a ton of missing font errors. While I was able to go to the archives and load some of these fonts, others that We have used in the past(and they have to be used because they are used for product titles) will not install. I open font book and click on add fonts, but when I navigate to the folder that has the font i need(transfered from a server to my hard drive) that font is ghosted out to where i can not select it. One Example is Eurostile Bold Oblique
    thanks
    DF

    I'm guessing your example of Eurostile Bold Oblique is a printer outline font from a Type 1 PostScript font. If so, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
    Adobe Garamond
    AGarBol
    AGarBolIta
    AGarIta
    AGarReg
    AGarSem
    AGarSemIta
    The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
    1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
    2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
    3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

  • Missing render file/project will not render

    I'm new to using FCE - just got my iMac with FCE pre-installed a few weeks ago - and have run into a big problem with current project. When I open the program, it tells me one render file is offline and I can reconnect or continue. I have no idea where the file could possibly have gone, so I select 'continue'. But now the project will not render. I have four sequences open in the project file, and have tried everything - locking and unlocking tracks, selecting various combinations of render both, render all, render selection, rendering only audio or video, etc. All the appropriate render selections are checked in every option. But still, the project won't render any of the sequences; the render box comes up for a split second and goes away faster than the eye can follow. I've tried setting the scratch disk; that didn't help. I tried saving the project, closing and opening the project, etc. Nothing helps. It just won't render. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem?

    When I say it won't render, I literally mean nothing happens when I hit the render command. I see the red timeline render bars. However, I see them only when I go to export the video as something else - a mov, dv stream, etc. In the project while working, there's nothing indicating render is required.
    To try and solve this problem of the missing audio clip, I opened a new project and imported the .mov file I was working with initially, which theoretically should have all its parts intact. I made the necessary modifications to the file (essentially starting all over) and then attempted to render. It still won't render. Nothing happens at all when I click any of the render options, even after I've made modifications to the video that would clearly require render - changing the aspect ratio and applying a widescreen video filter. So the program should recognize the changes and render, but nothing happens, whether I choose render from the menu or hit the keyboard shortcut.
    I'm a little hesitant to try scrapping the preferences as suggested above, but I am totally perplexed.
