Font download question

I've just downloaded Futura Light and have CS3. After it's placed in the Library/Fonts folder Illustrator doesn't recognize it. (It's a .sit file)
I'm wondering if this was meant for a later version of Adobe Suite.
Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Moving to Adobe type.

Font download in IE

Hello,
i want to use Awesome Fonts in an intranet application.
In my company users don't have the permission to download fonts in IE.
This is a company policy and can't be changed.
Therefore my users only see blank boxes instead of the icons.
Is it possible to save the fontawesome-webfont.eot file to all users profiles or on a network share and let my application
use this file. Does this work and how?
Thank you.
Jürgen

Hi,
Your administrators CAN fine tune their GPO settings (intranet security zone template) and allow font downloads from an intranet domain. Sounds like your admin is pulling your chain.(don't want to, don't know how).
Make sure that your machine (on an administrator account) is using the default IE security zone settings for your company. Security tab of Internet Options>click "Reset all zones to default".

Font download not working in IE 10

Hello!
We are building a product based on web tech (html, css, javascript). When our customers are running what we built in IE 10 they dont get the correct fonts or our icons that are font based. We can reproduce the error on our end by disabling font download
in IE, but the customer have this set to enable and it still does not work. Everything else renders fine. We have checked the different zones (internet, intranet) and all have it enabled. Looking at the traffic, we can see that our resources are downloaded.
Running in for example Chrome it works for them.
Is there anymore settings they can change?
Best regards,

Hello Micke.
Here's a very recent msdn thread which discusses a problem displaying downloadable fonts with IE10. I replied there, so it is fresh in my memory. Actually, that thread seems somehow incomplete. I was watching for continued discussion
there.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/f28056a4-765c-4db2-ae1e-1d10a790ca71/ie-1011-open-sans-font-issue
In the example given there, the <option> dropdown incorrectly applies a the failover font, whereas its parent <select> uses the specified font. I had experimented with it last week, and found that consistent (mis)behavior when the font-family
is given in a url. Even in an embedded data url.
The following demo contains an embedded copy of the Open Sans font discussed in that thread. It is encoded as a base64 data url. The css entry also specifies Segoe Script at the end, as a failover. Try viewing this with IE10 and see what
happens. Then compare with IE11, where the problem is fixed.
https://googledrive.com/host/0B8BLd2qPPV7XbWlHZmVhREd1YUE
I see you identified IE10 as having this problem, as in the link above. Were you able to isolate the problem to a particular type of html element?

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

Font Embedding Question in PDF exported from PageMaker v7

I am having difficulty embedding the majority of my fonts in PDFs exported from PageMaker v7. When exporting to PDFs, a "cannot embed font" error is generated.
Technical Details:
The fonts I have are ALL LEGAL, and were purchased with complete licenses when required.
The fonts properties show them to be completely embedable, with no restrictions in terms of installation, etc.
The fonts can be placed and embedded in PDFs from all other programs I've attempted this with (Illustrator, Acrobat, MSWord, WordPerfect, etc.).
Disclaimer:
Yes, I know PageMaker is old, and yes, I am in the process of upgrading to Creative Sutie (although, as an aside, it is extremely disappointing that even a token discount is not offered to those who have purchased every Adobe and MacroMedia software package in the past, but I digress...). However, several of my clients require PageMaker files (for a variety of reasons I won't go into here).
Thank you in advance for any advice on what might be the underlying problem.

When generating PDF output from Pagemaker, I've used 2 methods:
1. File>Export>PDF
This method works fine for a limited number of fonts (AGaramond for example), which is why I started this post. Bob Levine had suggested using Distiller instead.
2. File>Printer Styles>Acrobat
I usually used this method when an offset printer requires crop marks, since the other method does not provide an option for crop marks.
This opens a window with numerous options, the pertinent ones to my question are:
Printer: New 2002 PPD for Adobe PS Driver on file
PPD: Adobe PDF 3015.102
Postscript: Download Fonts (3 options):
     None
     True Type and Type 1
     True Type Only
When I choose download "True Type and Type 1", I get the same "cannot embed font" error if I use most of my fonts (with the exception of a few that work).
When I choose NONE for the option, the PS file is generated without errors.
Once the .ps file is generated, I then use Distiller 4 to open the file and output PDF file.
If I used "True Type and Type 1" for download font option, and the font does not generate an error, the PDF file is fine.
If I used "NONE" for download font option, when I open the PDF, it indicates that the fonts are embedded. However, since I do not download the font, I am nervous that this might cause problems when I go to an offset printer.
I do not print to a file using a printer driver (for example Linotype, Acrobat, etc.). The 2 processes I've used seem to be independent of what the default printer is on the operating system (XP).
Thanks!

Where is the font downloaded?

I know this is a dumb question, but the font I just bought isn't in my download folder. I can't find it by doing a search on the font name, and the receipt doesn't tell me where it went.

if you are using linux machine
then there would be a ".javaws" directory created in your home dir or the place where you installed jws. the down loaded files are kept in the cache dir under the .javaws dir.
if you are running on some other platform there would be something similar. you can start the javaws form command line go file/preference open the preference .. there you will see a tab named as 'advanced' on that tab you can see the dir location for - Application folder.

HELP - Dial Up Download Question from a Mac Mini Tiger OS X 10.4.6 Newbee??

There are hugh download files (133 Mb for 10.4.7 for example) that appeared when I ran Software update the first day I got my Mini. This would require 10 to 12 hours download on my Juno account. One solution I saw in these forums was to have a neighbor with High Speed connection download and burn a disc. My NEWBEE question is... Can you go to the Apple OS X download page and successfully download the 10.4.7 update (and others) using a Windows machine with Windows software?? Then have that Windows PC burn a disc that can transfer the update to my Mini?? I'm breaking new ground in my neighborhood and appear to be the only one with a Mac. These forums are great - Thanks Addie
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) first time user

Thanks to you and Sig for the response. We have NO APPLE STORE/OUTLET within a four hour drive, therefore your input that a PC can burn the disc is the best alternative I have. BUT what do you mean by a "hybrid" data CD? I'm a NEWBEE, so could you give me a little more specifics, i.e., what package/brand & model should I buy? I was thinking any CD-ROM would work! Thanks & sorry for my lack of experience, Addie

Manual Font Management Questions

Hi. First, thanks in advance for any advice. I appreciate it.
I've recently taken up comic book lettering and as such, have acquired a massive amount of fonts. I've tried a couple of the management software (Suitcase Fusion and FontExplorer X) and haven't been able to work with them the way I'd hoped. Furthermore, they all (including the native FontBook) sandbag my system and grind it to a crawl.
So, even though it's a giant pain and extremely tedious, I think I'll manually edit and remove unnecessary fonts to pare things down and organize them in apps like Adobe CS5. And group them. My questions are 1) can you have folders inside the font library folder the system draws from (for organization purposes)? I ask because there are none in there. 2) I've been working (I've already started with a small folder elsewhere) with a copy of the font directories. When I finish, would I just delete everything, then copy my altered version (including some renamings) into place (w/ or w/o folders -- tbd)? Or is there a proper way to remove and replace fonts than just moving to trash?
Thanks again! I (virtually) bow to your vast knowledge. (Pandering works around here, right?)

Uh... Kappy, I've got every font on my machine (except for /System/Library/Fonts fonts) in subdirectories inside the assorted Fonts/ directories. This is a subset of FontFolio11 that we use for editorial:

Oracle 9i AS Portal download questions

I read the installation guide for Oracle 9iAS (the guide for all of AS, not just the Portal component). I have some questions that were not addressed in the documentation.
1) Do you need to download the entire Oracle9i Application Server in order to download and access the Oracle Portal component? I understand there's three levels of downloads (minimal, standard, and enterprise), and that even the minimal edition contains Oracle 9iAS. However, I was hoping to minimize space and memory required when working with Oracle Portal. (I just need to configure databases and manage database security, both of which can be done using Oracle Portal.)
2) I already have Microsoft Peer Web Services installed on my computer. (That's the development environment in which you can test Cold Fusion and ASP code.) Will this conflict with the Oracle 9iAS, since both are servers that may affect, or be affected by, network configurations - even if they're both in a local, standalone test environment?
(I can't just remove PWS since I do need it for testing Cold Fusion and/or ASP development code.)
3) I understand that in order to download Oracle 9iAS, I need to already have access to an Oracle database. What mimimum version of Oracle do I need to be working with? The installation guide states that I can find out more information about database requirements at http://metalink.oracle.com. However, I can't even register for this site in order to access it, because it requires a "Support Identifier (CSI, SAC, Access Code etc.)" However, the CSI for the company where I work has expired - so I can't access that area for info.
It seems that I may need to use Oracle 8i. I just downloaded the Installation Guide for the Oracle 8i Personal Edition. Would that be sufficient to work with a standalone (personal edition/evaluation copy) of Oracle9i AS?
I hope to hear from someone soon about these issues! Thanks.

1)Portal is an integrated component of 9iAS. You need to download all of 9iAS and select the minimal install option.
2)We haven't tested this configuration, but as long as you set up apache appropriately to use different ports than the existing software it should work.
3)Portal requires 8.1.6.2 Enterprise edition or 8.1.7 Standard edition. Personal Edition will not work.

Servlet controlled download question

I've written a servlet that will extract my file from the database and prompt the client browser with a "Save As" prompt. So far so good.
The problem I'm having is that for the file name, the browser is using the name of the servlet (say Example.do" as the file name.
So the box shows the following
Filename : Example
File Type:
From: www.examplehost.com
So my question is how to I get the correct file name to show up, and get the file type field populated. I'm trying to get this to work for the IE 5 browsers.
The headers are being set as follows:
response.setContentType("application/x-download; name=\"" + fileName + "\"");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + fileName + ";");
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Sean

That problem is due to the fact that the browser sets the name of the file equal to the request.
There are two solutions i can imagine :
- Place the file in a public place (Where you have your jsp and such) :
Cons : Anyone that knows the file is there may get it.
A big security error, specially if the file is confidencial.
Pros : The file name will be the correct one.
- Use an applet that connects to the servlet :
Cons : It may take too long to load
Many ppl don't like applets running on they're machine
pros : You may create you own progress bar, with percentage and everything;
You control the time it takes and the speed you wish it to use;
The best of all, You may copy the file into a temp dir and then transfer it to the dest dir with the name you wish or the user wishes.
It's up to you to decide,
Daniel Campelo

Oracle 8i download question

This is sort of a dumb question but my ethernet card is broken so I'm trying to download the 8i zip file and it downloads maybe 2 megs of the approximatly 300 meg file and then says download successful??? Any ideas. I'm assuming I'm just getting cut off because of a bad phone line...I'm going to keep trying...

Get one download manager like Getright to resume broken doenloads and download the software in segments. Also I guess Ethernet Cards are no longer an expensive component as I am sure, downloading the full software is a time consuming task unless u have huge and Free bandwidth.

Font validation question

When I run ValidateFonts in Font Book, I have 18 fonts with the yellow circle and the exclamation point in it.
Message at bottom is "minor problem proceed with caution."
What the heck does THAT mean??? None of these fonts were downloaded anywhere and are all pretty "normal sounding fonts" like Arial and Comic Sans.
I ask because when I first installed SL I had a huge problem with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and the problem was font related. I had downloaded some fonts from daFont and they caused a conflict that took me forever to figure out.
This weei I took a look at Font Book to see if there were any existing problems because I need a particular font that is available on daFont and wanted to know where I stood before I downloaded it so I wouldn't be making any problem worse... now I don't have a clue what FontBook is telling me.
thanks,
tom

Message at bottom is "minor problem proceed with caution."
What the heck does THAT mean???
Since the problem is "minor" it probably means the fonts are corrupted or has duplicates.
You can get rid of the duplicates by clicking on "Resolve Duplicates."
You can also try this free utility called FontNuke.
