Font Embed Issue?

Everytime I try to embed fonts, the pdf produced has missing text.
Specifically the T on every 'They' through-out the pdf...at least that's the only one I've notcied so far.
Anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Edit - it takes out 'F's as well apparently...

How do you have Preferences set like this Note I use Mac so look and feel is different but controls should be simiilar:

  • Font embed issue in Dir 11.5

    Hi,
    I have issue with font embed in Director 11.5. This only happens in one particular PC that I am using - other ones are fine. I make a director movie, and embed some fonts into the cast library. Using these fonts in the text members and so, I tested it in authoring environment and everything appeared OK. However when I published it, right after the processing bar ended, a message said that some texts are using fonts that are not embedded, while it was obvious that the embedded font was there. I checked the text member using the broken font, and the text appeared broken (using default font instead) and the font selection box says that the font is (missing). I wonder if anyone have similar problem or is it isolated to just my one PC?

    Yes, and when I use the installed font, it pose no problem. Only when I use embedded font then it show problems.
    It seems that I may just get away with using installed fonts, however, since I am making projectors to be distributed, embedded font becomes a necessity.

  • IDCS3: PDF font embed issue, no answers anywhere!

    Help if you can.
    I'm using the font Dirty Headline in many of my layouts that require exporting to PDF. Substituting the font is not really an option at the time. I also don't want to keep outlining the font every time a chance is made. Here's the issue:
    Whenever I export InDesign CS3 I get an error that says:
    Dirty Headline: This font could not be embedded due to restrictions in the font file. The font must be installed to view or print this file properly with Adobe Acrobat. View additional errors?
    I have the font. It is installed. It is not protected. It is not corrupt.
    The PDFs look fine in Acrobat but when I place/link them in InDesign the font is substituted automatically.
    The kicker is that some of the PDFs substitute a font and some don't. Transparency flattening messes up the layer effects in the file. I've tried tons of different settings and somehow figured it out but I don't know what is happening! HELP PLEASE???

    rich, I downloaded the font Dirty Headline from urbanfonts.com (not sure if this is the same font you are using) and Indesign's Preflight indicates the font is not protected. But during export, embedding the font is restricted.
    Just for the fun of it... I tried Richard's Fontographer suggestion, and sure enough it worked, I was able to embed the font. But, if you check the readme for this font, it states the font is freeware for personal and non-commercial use, with a commercial license available from the creator.

  • AS3 font embed height issue

    This is probably the weirdest font embed problem I've had in years...
    I'm using Flash CC. Whenever I use an embed font I get this weird result.
    On the left I'm using a system font without embed, on the right I just switch to an embedded font in the library. Nothing else changes. I'm doing everything by code. The height of the TextField and the textHeight property changes, depending on if I use an embedded font or not. It doesn't matter what font I embed, I have tried many different fonts with the exact same result.
    I have tried changing the leading property in the TextFormat object, but there's always some sort of padding at the top of the textField.
    Anyone has any idea of what is going on?

    I've stopped using Flash CC because of this bug. Just not worth it.

  • Font embedding issue

      I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    The font "Helvetica" will not embed on a PDF document that I have using the "Embed all fonts" pre-flight.  The actual font is 'Arial MT' (which is in my font library) but even the ArialMT fonts here are embedding as type 2 CID fonts:
    Fonts prior to embedding:
    I use the "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)" preflight, then the fonts look like this:
    I've looked up that "Helvetica" font for purchase and the closest I found was the "HelveticaLTStd-Roman" font (according to the Adobe font cross reference list) so I've purchased and installed the font but it still won't embed.
    Anyone know how can I get this font to embed? Do I need to purchase a different font (Helvetica-Medium)? Or is there something else going on?

    I'm experiencing a related font issue in Illustrator: I'm unable to embed fonts in a PDF using Illustrator CS5.5 (Mac OS X 10.7). An Illustrator message says that their is a licensing restriction that prevents embedding the fonts in the PDF. The original ttf and otf fonts were initially purchased for a Windows machine years ago, and many of them came with Illustrator. I've embedded fonts in a PDF using Illustrator (on the Windows side) without a problem for many years.
    Is this a font installation issue? Since the "installation" process is different for a mac, is it possible the fonts were not "activated" when they were copied to the library/fonts folder? The fonts do appear in the illustrator file, but not the PDF.
    Could this be a Distiller issue? Is Distiller involved when Illustrator saves to a PDF?

  • Font smoothing issues

    Hi all. I noticed some others were complaining about font smoothing not seeming to work in Carbon applications (e.g. Camino, Firefox, MS Word and even iTunes). It seems the subpixel font-aliasing system preference (e.g. light) is ignored and, instead, the ugly CRT font smoothing is used.
    I am puzzled this has not received a lot of attention, since it immediately bothered me when I received my Macbook Pro today.
    Is everyone experiencing this font smoothing problem? I used the Migration Assistant to copy all files from my previous (Tiger-installed) Powerbook. Does anyone not having used the Migration Assistant also suffer from the font smoothing issue?
    For more info, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1829478&#1829478
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

  • Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

  • Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
    I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
    but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
    folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
    Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
    another forum here:

    Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
    to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
    and Illustrator.

    Hi davidd61713525,
    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
    Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to.  A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk.  There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
    Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
    Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
    And a similar older one:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
    I would try the following options:
    Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
    Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not.  You can try running a disk and permissions repair.  After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion.  If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know.  I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

  • Create a pdf with all the fonts embed in indesign CS6

    Hi,
    I created a ps from Indesign CS6 & CS7 with all fonts embed,

  • Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4 - font leading issues

    Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4
    Recently upgraded OS and Quark and my documents that use the font Avenir are not displaying correctly. Fonts leading has expanded so anywhere Avenir is used, the leading changes the layout and most text boxes are overset.
    - leading is set to Auto
    - do not use a font manager, I use FontBook- checked usage and font is not missing
    - deleted Avenir, emptied font cache, restarted and issue still exists- made a new user, packaged a file, opened in new user and issue still exists
    - not just one file, issue exists in every file I made that uses Avenir in my archive- had my colleague open the same archived files on their computers and files were correct
    - had colleague send me Avenir font, deleted out of my library, reloaded font and issue still exists
    - deleted font out of my library and just used Avenir system font, issue still exists- deleted Quark and re-uploaded, issue still exists
    - re-uploaded OS, issue still exists- did a thumbnail transfer of items from old doc to a new doc, issue still exists
    - have spent over 6 hours on the phone with Quark support and have numerous messages back and forth in a job ticket, no resolution
    I would not normally use Quark, but a client reuqests it. I suspect I might have a corrupted system font but I am unsure. 3 weeks behind schedule on my project and am desperate for help. Any ideas?

    I just found out my E3000 was no longer compatible with making a Guest Access password.  Spent a ton of time online chatting with a Linksys/Cisco rep who told me it was not longer compatible with the newer operating systems...BUT THIS IS A LIE! My E3000 works great with Yosemite.  A couple of things you need to know.  1.  You can no longer use the Cisco Connect CD to set up a Guest PW.  It has been replaced by a handy App, that you can download from the App store:  http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=156285 2.  You can change the settings on your Wifi router directly from this app.  No need to go into the 192.168.1.1 site and configure it but if you want to, you still can do this.  On the website, there is no way to configure the GUEST settings unfortunately.... 3.  You can configure a Guess Access code and set the number of computers allowed to use it at one time on the App.  After you set the code, it will bring you off line then online again.   Make sure you log in to your WIFI network under both Guest and your WIFI network to see if works.  For some reason, it took some time for my iPhone to bring me to the Guest sign-in page, but I eventually switched the ON/Off button on the Guest Password setup and it worked.  All guests should be redirected to a CISCO SIGN-IN page where they can log in with the guest Password. 4.  I can't believe the customer reps didn't tell me immediately about this app!  I gave it 1 star as it wasn't working very well until I reset everything and started over.  Maybe that was just my incompetence.... Good luck!  My 5 yr old dual band router is still working very well!  No need to get a new one to be compatible with Yosemite!   

  • Font display issues

    Upgraded to Lion on an iMac, now I have strange font display issues across applications and in browsers and specifically with numbers, somethimes letters.

    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
    Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

    In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
    I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
    I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

    hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

    Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
    One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
    This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
    Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
    They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
    KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

    You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts.  I enable ant-aliasing.  I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full.  I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI.  This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
    This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
    Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
    khotkeys needs to be running.  I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
    When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work.  In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
    ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc.  I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
    Restart X
    Go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
    I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
    To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for.  Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field.  Save.
    Then go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys.  Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created.  (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
    Hope this helps,

  • PDF Merging and font dropping issue

    You may need to check the Font's.  Even though you may be sending  ( and I am just making this up )  Times New Roman 12,  the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
    Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

  • Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

    Hello
    This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
    Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
    So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).
