Font corrupt problem

I am running a java servlet that do graphics rendering and generate jpg file and send to the client browser. But I got the following
Assertion failed: offset < fFileSize, file ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/font/fontmanager/fontobjects/fontObject.cpp, line 256
It looks like the fonts corrupted. But where is the fonts? Could I replace it? Or is there any way to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Iris

Can you run GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts() successfully? If you can, then try to render each font in turn until you crash, and you might be able to pin down which font it is.

Font corruption

Hello everyone,
since a long time, I've been experiencing slight font corruption in Gecko powered applications (Firefox/Thunderbird), that were going away when highlighting the culprit characters. Lately I've been getting it, except that it's worse, doesn't go away (I suspect the new GTK or kernel) and happened in Geany too.
Xorg logs don't have any errors and dmesg only show
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Packet0 not allowed!
repeatidly. The issue doesn't seems to be a hardware problem since it only happens with specific applications. I tried switching from Glamor to EXA, without success and memtest86 says that my RAM is okay.
Using radeonSI with an AMD radeon R9 280X (7970).

I would try disabling "damage" in xorg, e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-damage.conf, containing:
Section "Extensions"
Option "DAMAGE" "False"
EndSection

Font corruption in GTK apps only

For a day or so now I have been seeing quite bad font corruption in GTK apps -- gtk-demo and Chromium both have this problem. QT apps are not affected. Forcing a font cache rebuild with `sudo fc-cache -rf` did not help the situation, and neither did reinstalling the affected fonts.
I did not upgrade or install any packages between the font rendering being fine, and it being corrupted (see the screenshot).

Any ideas?

I've seen corruption like this with a lot of cairo apps because the text to be rendered is sent to a buggy EXA driver. Does text look better if you turn off EXA acceleration?

Help!! Menu Font corrupted after after upgrading P...

Hi all,
Pls help.
I've just upgraded the PR1.2 over the air.
It was done very smooth during and right after the upgrade.
When I switched off and on again the phone, all the menu font corrupted.
e.g.
Inside menu.
"All" -> now "ai_category_all"
"desk" -> now "ai_category_desk"
etc.
I add screen capture.
When I go to the "system setting", and check the "language and region", I found there is no language.
Since i installed some Chinese app right before upgrade, I am guessing whether this app corrupts some system file.
Could any of you expert help..?
br,
alex

Hi all guru,
I feel very frustrated with the language support problem after PR1.2 upgrade as cpitchford mentioned.
How could I recover this ?
Will the Re-flash help ? If so, how to do so?

Can you help me with FontExplorer font activation problems?

Anyone know how to solve a font activation problem I am having with FontExplorer 4.2? I am on a new mac with new fonts, I am using Maverick with Adobe CS6. With my new mac I bought the latest version of FontExporer Pro X 4.2. This program is having trouble with font activation in all my Adoble suite apps including Indesign. Here is what I am seeing:
1. The font activates, but the Adobe app does not recognize that it is active. If I go back to Font Explorer and deactivate manually, then re-activate manually. The adobe app might then recognize it. Sometimes it still doesn't. But this does not stay permanently, as soon as I do a restart I have to go through this process again. I see this more often with the User system fonts, but a few times with my regular fonts.
2. Other times, such as in Indesign, I go to open the file and the file stalls and doesn’t progress while it is trying to activate the fonts.
3. Another time I have seen after an illustrator file is opened the fonts aren't recognized as being opened and the text goes blank on the page.
4. In all adobe apps, if I go to use "replace font" on the missing fonts (even though they are turned on) the "replace font" menu only shows the basic system fonts, it won't show me the other fonts turned on.
I have seen these issues with both formerly created files and fresh new files.
I have tried the following based on feedback from Font Explorer staff:
Refresh your Spotlight database
1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X
2. Choose Tools > Refresh Spotlight Database
Clean your font caches
1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X 2. Choose Tools > Clean Application Font Caches (check all available checkboxes)
3. Choose Tools > Clean System Font Caches (requires restart)
Still after trying this multiple times, the errors continue and even get more random.
I have also tried this based on their feedback:
go to FONTEXPLORER X PRO -> PREFERENCES -> ADVANCED and make sure that "Automatically deactivate fonts which have not been activated by the system" is NOT set to never.
Then click on TOOLS and clean all font caches. Then reboot the system.
The auto-activation is using a new Apple technology (called Core Text), which unfortunately does not work correctly with some of the Adobe and Quark applications when keeping the fonts permanently activated. We are currently working on an update, and the next version of FontExplorer X Pro will fix this issue.
This has also not work. Can anyone help me?

Here is the official work-around for this problem.
1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.

Font embedding problem PPT plugin Acrobat 9 Pro

Hi,
having just updated to Acrobat 9 Pro I encounter a font embedding problem when using the PowerPoint plugin (PPT2007) to create a PDF of my presentation. I am working under Windows 7 (64Bit) and use fonts from Mathematica (Wolfram). The generated PDF shows problems displaying the fonts, indicating that they have not been embedded (although font embedding of these fonts is set in the options). The problem does not occur if I directly print to the PDF printer - here all Mathematica fonts are correctly embedded (but this has other disadvantages since videos/animations are not integrated). The problem seems to be specific to Acrobat 9 since under Acrobat 8 everything worked correctly as well.
Any ideas/solutions for that issue?
Thanks & best regards
Ralf

Perhaps you may need to upgrade to version 9.2 (Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins at this dot release)?
Be well...

Font rendering problem... (FLash BUG)

Hi all, I have Flash instaled on two machines and both of them are having a problem when rendring flash text.
All text on flash appears like the image bellow. And When I export to SWF the text stays the same.
The font I'm using is Myriad Pro
I'm running Flash on iMac i3 3.06 with 4Gb and 256 Graphics display so that can't be the problem.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks for the attention.
y

Hi,
i know this problem. It exists since the last os-x update.
Until now there ist no solution - only two workarounds.
a) reinstall osx and update only to an older version
b) sometimes it helps me to close flash, restart flash and publish again.
It seems only OTF Fonts make Problems. I know about problems with MyriadPro and DIN.
There is also a problem creating PDF Files with the OS-X internal "Print as PDF" function.
I hope there will be an update soon....

Corruption problem with iPod

okay, so I have a strange corruption problem with my iPod: no matter now many times I attempt to restore, nothing seems to happen. How do I fix this?
NOTE: Whenever I attempt to play it, my iPod is always displaying the following message: Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore.

God d*mmit, a very simaler problem just happened again! Only this time I didn't drop it or anything. An error message occurs whenever I connect the iPod (which seems to be fine) to the computer. And the iPod appears in "My Computer" but not iTunes (so I can't even sync/restore it) Based on that, it's probably an error mostly having to do with the iPod/computer connection. I even made a screenshot of this! Take a look (the error message is at the bottom right):

I'll probably help from someone experienced with Windows this time, by the way.

Navigation Fonts Corrupted

I have set up a website using the "freestyle" template. my navigation words come out as gibberish. They consist entirely of symbols--and the symbols seen to be additional characters from MSGothic.
I have turned off that font and this gibberish continues to be reprinted when I retype different names for the links.
What is the matter with my fonts? Where is this font coming from? How can I stop this?
I understand that all I need to do is go in and redo the navigation bars by hand (and I can do this) but the point of iWeb is to allow rapid regeneration of these menus--that's the reason to use iWeb.
My other computer generates a really boring--but clear--navigation bar for this template. other templates on my computer do not give me gibberish on the navigation bar.
I turned off lots of fonts, including MSGothic, which is the only font that has the distinctive arrows in the gibberish. The gibberish still appears.
Any ideas?

Thanks Tom.
I am emailing you from a different email address than my apple address because my old knox.net account closed down last summer and I haven't figured out how to change my apple ID yet. (Knox.net--one of the last freenets).
Here is a screenshot of my iweb problem fonts. The Apple font utility identifies these characters as coming from MS Gothic.
I think that I probably have a font numbering problem.
Today plain text in the New York times was gibberish (of course, maybe that's not a font problem.)
But maybe that's because I turned off some fonts.
Anyway, can Suitcase or some other utility help this?

Major File Corruption Problem...

In the past week I suddenly have a file corruption problem that is destroying everything I'm working on. It first showed up when I converted a 16 bit file to 8 bit, but it now is happening if I add a layer and apply the High Pass filter, or add some Shadow & Highlight detail, then the layers begun to almost 'dissolve' and become more transparent…or they take on a block-like transparency. I'm attaching a couple of shots that show the kind of thing that is happening...
This was a fairly simple image with 5 separate image layers. When I added a layer and applied the High Pass, it corrupted the background layer to give me this...
You can see the icon in the Layers palate clearly shows the corrupted Background layer. There is also a bit showing on the Hi Pass Layer icon...
Next is a much larger (almost 2 GB) file with tons of layers that looked fine...
…but when the High Pass layer is isolated you can see the corruption clearly...
Shortly after taking these screen caps, the rest of the layers all got corrupted, and all the layer mask icons looked like checkerboards with the blocky transparency. Deleting the affected layers and adding them back in didn't help…they would just get corrupted again. Deleting the corrupted layers, saving the remaining file and quitting didn't help…opening the file again and attempting to add the layers back would result in still more corruption. I found some success in starting from scratch, doing one or two things, saving, then quitting Photoshop. Then I would duplicate the file, reopen Photoshop and do one or two things, save again, then quit Photoshop again…repeat a hundred times! Not exactly a workflow I can live with...
And the really messed up thing is that this is happening with both CS6 and the CC version. I'm working on a MacPro 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 24 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB card, on OS X 10.8.5
Any help will be greeted with loads of praise!

Thanks for your help…I think this has solved the issue. And two hours on the phone with India didn't get me anywhere…!!!

Issue with Fonts Corrupting in ID CS5

We've been using the Helvetica LT Std type family forever in our marketing materials. While it's not the greatest font family anymore, we still want to stay consistant. Recently upgraded our machines, and software (CS3 to CS5) and are now having issues with those fonts corrupting. Basically, they randomly throw "superscripts" and glyph type symbols throughout the document (see below). If I switch it out to a different font, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Has anyone ever come across this?
Regards,
David

Mac OS X 10.6.4
I've uploaded all of my typefaces in Font Book. When I remove the Helvetica LT Std family from Font Book and then try opening the document again, it tells me that the fonts are missing. Meaning, it's not pulling a different font.
The weird thing is when I select the type change it to "Impact" the characters display correctly. When I change it to "Myriad" they are still corrupt. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reasonings to the why.
And thanks for the link, I've started reading through the key sections of that. WIth the fonts coming up missing when they are removed from Font Book, it doesn't appear to be that. So confused.

Font Availability/Possible Font Conflict Problem

I have InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP SP3 machine with the following problem: I have a document I am reprinting for one of my clients and it uses Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold font. It seems that this font comes into conflict, probably due to its name, with Helvetica Neue Bold. If I delete the latter from the Windows\Fonts folder, then in all other Windows programs, the Condensed Bold font shows up. However, *it does not* show up in InDesign CS3. Furthermore, the latter thinks it still has access to the Bold font even after it has been removed from the Windows\Fonts folder. I assume this may be due to InDesign CS3 accessing fonts from elsewhere, but there is nothing in the "Fonts" folder for the main InDesign program folder. I would be very happy is someone can tell me what exactly is causing this font conflict problem, and how I can work around it. But mainly, I need to know where InDesign informs the user about where it looks for fonts (I can't find anything like the specification in Distiller that restricts where it looks for Windows fonts). Any help would be *most* appreciated, as I need to get this out in the next two days and must leave town early Wednesday.

Fonts for Indesign can be stored in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Fonts and they will only be accessible by Indesign. I've had problems with different versions of Helvetica too, but only when they were from slightly different families, or a mixture of types. Now I've got the whole set it works fine, you may have to experiment with your mix of fonts. Bear in mind too that fonts display differently in the Indesign font list than they do in Word for example.

Font parsing problem KEYNOTE, CRASH

Here is a part of crash report, it seems that there is a problem parsing fonts.
I installed CS4 a long time ago, is there a problem with fonts ?
I've resolved all fonts duplication problems via the option purposed in Font Book. I've clear my font cache via Onyx, then restarted, then resintalled iWork, but nothing changed. Keynote crash everytime with all themes.

How to fix jaggy font display problem?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard a few days ago and have been having font display problems ever since.
When I first upgraded, everything seemed fine, but then Word wouldn't display Arial. So, I validated fonts in Font Book and discovered a bunch of dupes. When I deactivated the dupes, that problem was resolved. But, a new problem occurred. Many of the fonts throughout various applications (Mail, Safari, Finder) appeared jaggy.
I tried playing with text smoothing and LCD font smoothing, but neither seemed to have much, if any, effect.
Then, I decided that I hadn't had a good font cleanup for several years, and maybe all the dupes and other detritus were part of the problem. So, I literally deleted all my fonts from system/library, root/library and user/library (I copied some into a .zip archive for safe keeping) and reinstalled Snow Leopard and all current updates. Then, I fixed permissions twice (though there are always permissions that won't fix) and booted into single user and did an fsck.
But, after all that, my jaggy problem still persists
It's really strange in that it appears worse at some times. And, doesn't seem to be present in all apps. Here's a screenshot from YouTube with Safari on the left (bad jaggies) and Chrome on the right (no jaggies).
I'd really appreciate some help. Any ideas?

Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
This does not clear the font cache files for Word (Office), which keeps its own such items.
Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)
For Office 2011, the location is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/Office Font Cache
