Font Exception

Hi Experts,
Can anyone suggest how can i embed or change font in an
existing pdf file using iText like free java api.
As you know when the word document converted to pdf using
openoffice api it is not embedding(registering) fonts like Arial,
which is not atall supported in bare pdf. So i need to register the
font so that while i am using Acrobat viewer java api bean won;t
get FontException .

Hi JC,
It seems to me that you are trying to create a java stored procedure
that displays graphics (I'm guessing that it's a chart of some
kind).
I could be wrong here, but as far as I know (and I haven't tried
it, so I can't be sure), even though the classes of the "java.awt"
package are loaded into the Oracle embedded JVM, I don't think
it's possible to have a java stored procedure that displays graphics.
Other people may correct me, but if I'm right, I guess you're
slightly stuffed {:-)
I'm afraid that with the information you have supplied (and
assuming I have correctly interpreted your question so far),
I'm not going to dare offer any workaround suggestions.
Hope this has helped you (for what it's worth).
Good Luck,
Avi.

Email fonts turn huge if I choose any system font except default! OS6

I'm running OS6 on an AT&T Torch 9800 - I understand this is not a new problem but I wonder if anyone has run across some kind ot tweak to help. If I attempt to choose a different system font, everything looks ok except the fonts in the emails triple (or more) in size. Even if I shrink the system font to teeny, the emails stay huge. The only way to get my emails back to looking normal and fitting on my screen is to go to the font selection function and choose "Restore Default". If I keep the default font and just increase the size one or two notches, I'm fine, but the minute the font is different, the emails are so huge they are illegible.
I know this is not a horrible thing but it'd be fun to look at a different font for awhile and it's impossible given this little "feature". Anyone find a solution? I would love to email RIM about this but sadly they seem not to want to hear from us...

InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer

Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?

@OurPlace
First of all, you are not addressing any Adobe team. These forums are primarily supported by volunteers who are not Adobe employees and don't officially represent Adobe Technical Support.
That having been said ...
There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
Troubleshooting hints:
(1)     Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
(2)     Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
(3)     TypeKit fonts won't package.
(4)     Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
(5)     If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
(6)     Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
(7)     Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.

I am a PC user now adjusting to the iMac. How can I change the font setting so that every app is the same font...larger than what is currently showing?

I am new to th imac, having used a PC all of my life. I would like to set the text size for all applications, is this possible?

You can only do that globally by changing the screen resolution. In OS X it is on an application by application basis, if you can change it at all. For instance, for finder windows choose View menu > Show view options. In Text Edit in Preferences > New Document. Mail > Format > Show Fonts but this is only for messages text.
In short, Apple wants you to live with what you've got and dosen't make it easy to change any fonts except the ones you use to compose.

Postcript fonts not showing in any of the CS6 applications

I cannot get any of the postscript fonts to appear in the CS6 apps. I am using FontAgent Pro 4.1 to manually activate fonts with CS6 applications (auto-activiation works fine in pre CS6 programs - I do realize that InsiderSoftware has not released updated plugins for CS6 for windows yet). When I activate an opentype or truetype font they appear within a few seconds in the CS6 apps, but none of the postscript/type 1 fonts show. They do show in all other programs, including earlier versions of the Adobe programs. I have delete all adobefnt*.lst files, rebooted and still no progress.

Updated info - it appears that the folder \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts along with a shortcut pointing to the folder where FAP adds shortcuts (FAP_APS) for the type 1 fonts that are activated. This was present in the \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and all fonts except type 1 would appear in the CS6 apps when activated. I added the shortcut as shown in the link (http://knowledgebase.insidersoftware.com/entry/25/) and so far, type 1 fonts, once activated, are now showing in CS6. I wonder is this has anything to do with installing the 64 bit versions of Illustrator and Photoshop?

All fonts missing in Linotype Fontexplorer X

Hi,
Can anyone help? I use Linotype FontExplorer X for font management (I have 1900+ fonts installed but have less than 100 active at any one time). I have been using it successfully for years, mainly, with Indesign (also Photoshop & Illustrator - CS4). I last used InDesign 12 days ago with no problems but when I opened a regularly used file today, my fonts were missing. I opened Linotype and every font except the system fonts is missing. I use Time Machine so have restored the User/FontExplorer X/Font Library folder but is there any way to tell Linotype where the fonts folder is without having to reinstall each font individually, I tried restarting Linotype but it didn't locate the folder.
Thanks in advance

That 'gulp' worries me!
I've just 'Time Machined' back to Sept 2009 and those 3 files are the only ones that ever show up in that location.
The .db file is 1.9mb and last modified/accessed last night when I restored the Font Library folder and reinstalled a few fonts to make sure it worked.
Are the other files you listed important? Is it a problem that I don't have and seem never to have had them?
I thought once I had restored the Font Library all would be ok, I'm just looking for a way to tell Linotype where the Font Library folder is so I don't need to install all the fonts and delete the ones it's not recognising (I'm thinking of something like the 're-link' for an image in InDesign when you move something to a different location)

Embeded Fonts in PDF documents

Hello,
I have a problem with a font that I have used in a document, some years ago. I created a pdf from a MS Word document and it seems that I have not embedded the font AG Chroma to the pdf. Hence a part of the text is not viewable from most pc's. Is there a chance of editing/adding a font in the existing pdf file, since my old doc file is no longer available??
many thanx
marios

Hallo Marios,
I too confronting with the same problem, but you know the reason why you got the FontException that is because of unsupported font you have within your pdf.
Ok, So you can do one thing you can register the font factory under your windows installation folder :
C:/windows/fonts/*.*;
Then you can access the pdf file from any application without font exception.
I am also in the midst of this path: so you please revert back is is satisfying for you or not.
Thanking you

Fonts for comercial use?

Hello!
I would like to ask if the fonts on iBooks Author are available for not-personal, not-private use without involving any extra costs. That is why its called a book, right? Because you share it with others.
uses: from books to fairytails to comic to whatever
Thanks in advance ,
Fotinos

these fonts come with iBooks Author, no?
The fonts belong to the OS, not the app. Here is the OS passage:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
Does that answer your question? (iBooks Author cannot embed fonts, except via export to PDF format)

Non english fonts

I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.8. For some reason, it will not print non-English fonts. As an example, I have New Peninim installed. Fontbook recognizes and verifies it. When I set that as the font in Textedit, it shows the text I type in but it does not show it in that font, which is Hebrew, but shows it in an English Font style. It does the same thing with most any other non-English font except for Cyrillic fonts, which it will show. Any ideas?

Illustrator CS5 crashes when scrolling through font menu.

Hello Adobe Community,
I am in desperate need of help with my Illustrator CS5 program. It has suddenly started to crash when I scroll through the Font menu from the Type menu at the top of the program. I am using a late 2013 Macbook Pro 13" with retina display on OSX 10.9.2. I am using Illustrator CS5 v15.0.0. I have read through scores of forum threads and tried every solution that was suggested and still cannot resolve this problem. I am stumped and my back is up against the wall. My work flow has now slowed to crawl since I have to now search through fonts using FontBook then manually type in the font I need in the font character field. I believe this problem is due to a corrupt font. The trouble started after I installed a new font. I have since deactivated and deleted that font but the problem persists. I am not a "tech head" so I don't know how to generate those long code pages that some can. I can make pretty pictures with Adobe products but I can't service those Adobe products.
Here is a list of things I have tried so far (at least what I remember):
*     I have deactivated and deleted the font I believed to be corrupt.
*     I have validated all my fonts with FontBook and deleted all corrupt files.
*     I have turned off the "enable missing glyph protecting" in the preferences.
*     I have used FontNuke to delete my font caches.
*     I have reset my Pram.
*     I have repaired all my permission with disk utility.
*     I have removed all fonts except for the standard system fonts.
*     I have uninstalled Illustrator and done a clean install (my system was migrated from a backup-however is has worked fine for months).
*     I have deleted my library/preferences/abobefnt.plst.
*     I have change the font preview to small.
*     I deleted all my fonts and restored them from time machine from before I had installed that last font I believed to be buggy.
*     I have prayed to Jebus.
So far none of this has worked. The closest I got was after deleting all the corrupt fonts with FontBook. It worked for a day. Then the next day started crashing again. I am completely lost at this point. I don't know what else to do.
Can anybody please help me figure this out?
BK
Update - I figured out how those crash reports are done so if anyone thinks they can help but needs to see a report please let me know and I will paste it into a reply.
Update 2 - I tried turning off the font preview all together and this seems to have stopped the crashes so far. I think the bug can be isolated to this function. Problem is I need that function.

Smartform-PDF-Printer fonts

Hi Folks,
Here we have designed a Invoice-smartform and converted it into PDF which is by default storing in c-drive as mentioned in the code.When we open the Pdf it is displaying it fine but when given a printout except the logo nothing is getting printed,I mean it is showing all junk characters.May I know what is the problem and how to rectify the same.
Points will be given.
K.Kiran.

Hi Kiran, see the OSS notes: 960341 and 776507.
I downloaded and copying here, Hope this will be helpful
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

OSS Note: 776507
Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001

UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Font mapping confusion

Regularly use FM7.2 to dtp multilingual documents. All these documents use the WinXP truetype Arial font with multilingual support, eg Arial Baltic, Arial Greek, Arial CE, Arial CYR, Arial EE, etc.
Have recently upgraded to CS3 versions of Illustrator, In-Design and also installed FM8.0 to try out before fully committing.
Have to make further adjustments to an FM7.2 document in Russian that used Arial CYR (truetype). Cannot now open this document and get characters to display properly. If I install a cyrillic postscript font and reformat document to use this font, it will then display correctly.
Under normal circumstances this would be impossible. How can FrameMaker remap the characters from WinXP truetype+multilingual support to a postscript font? Cannot now open any documents correctly that use the system truetype fonts with multilang support.
Need help urgently to resolve as cannot reformat client docs to use postscript instead of truetype fonts.

Thanks for keeping on top of this one.
Have already done thorough check of codepage fonts. These entries all in registry along with Courier, Times New Roman, Arial Narrow, etc.
Remember having to do this manually a few years back, IIRC something to do with MSWord not displaying CYR, Greek, CE, etc.
Should have said before, am using WinXP SP2 and ATM Deluxe.
All WinXP truetype fonts stay in the Windows\Fonts folder. All postscript fonts are kept in psfonts folder.
Whenever installing new programmes or updates, the Windows\Fonts folder tends to fill up, so I always move the postscript fonts out to the psfonts folder and have also created a separate tt_fonts folder to store all the truetype fonts (except for WinXP fonts). ATM Deluxe activates both postscript and truetype fonts (without copying font to Windows\Fonts directory). The only fonts ATM does not handle are OpenType fonts with ".otf" as it does not recognise these so they have to be manually copied to Fonts folder to activate.
The only recent changes made to my system were CS3 upgrades and installation of FM8. Upgraded to Acrobat 8 a few months ago and the only immediate setback experienced was pdf bookmarks incorrectly displaying the multilang headings workaround for this was to copy heading directly from pdf document and paste into bookmark.
If all the CS3 products and FM8 recognise the full (unicode) character set of "Arial" truetype (now opentype), could there be other registry changes that affect the way FM7.2 maps in the characters?
Have always kept tight control of fonts, do not allow font substitution and whenever creating pdf have 'set to cancel' if it cannot find font.
Have been trawling though Adobe database and forums attempting to find out what to try next.

Font is shown very small when using IE Tab and Windows Display is selected to show larger fonts

I'm on Windows 7 - 64 bit and I set my Windows display to show larger fonts (from Control Panel, Display, then choose Larger Fonts). Now all pages show bigger fonts, except when I use IE Tab.
I use IE Tab so that I can open my Microsoft Dynamics CRM website on Firefox; however the fonts look way too small; it is even smaller than when the Display Setting was set to use normal size fonts.
Tried to change to use smaller resolution, it didn't work. Zooming-in is very slow on Firefox, so it is not an option for working on the webpage. Tried changing the default fonts on Firefox, however the page is still always opened with the very small fonts.
From Firefox I also unchecked the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" (from Tools, Options, Content, Advanced), but it still doesn't fix it.
Played around with my Firefox IE Tab setting, but no luck.
I downgraded my Firefox to version 3.5.9 to use the older IE tab, but still not fixed yet.
Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advanced for your help,
-Elisabeth

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.

Fortunately my application can be run already altough the error message still logged.

Why mac os does not recognize arabic fonts

in mac pro using lion os does not support arabic fonts except one font and not like mac photoshop w` recognize a lot of arabic fonts
why and how to solve

That does not sound correct. Lion comes with 7 Arabic fonts supported by Apple apps: Al Bayan, Baghdad, Damascus, Deco Type Naskh, Geeza Pro, Kufi Standard, Nadeem. Plus a few others which should also work in TextEdit.
What apps are you trying to use? MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. Instead of that you should use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice. For Adobe apps for best results you should use the special ME Version designed for RTL scripts.

FAQ: Multiple master fonts on OS X

(This notice has been updated repeatedly to discuss: OS X 10.2, Adobe app bugs with 10.2 support, "cocoa" applications; Adobe phasing out MM font sales; Adobe discontinuing tech support for MM fonts. Last update: 23 Sep 2005.)
With versions 10.0 and 10.1, Mac OS X's native support for Type 1 and OpenType initially failed to include support for multiple master Type 1 fonts. This problem is fixed in OS X version 10.2 and later for applications using the "carbon" APIs, but not for applications using "cocoa" APIs. The two most common "cocoa" applications are TextEdit and Keynote.
Note that applications running in "Classic" mode are unaffected. They still need ATM for supporting Type 1 fonts, including multiple master fonts.
There is a workaround for some Adobe applications, such as InDesign 2, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7. You can rely on the native font imaging support in these applications, which is largely independent of the OS. Just put the fonts in the the Fonts folder in the application's folder, or the Application Support/Adobe/Fonts folder.
Additionally, the above-mentioned Adobe applications may have problems accessing all multiple master instances, when accessing the MM fonts which are installed at the system level, even in Mac OS X 10.2 and later. In some cases, this may be worked around by installing the fonts in the application's own fonts folder or the Application Support folder as described above.
PHASING OUT MULTIPLE MASTER FONTS
Adobe stopped making new MM and Type 1 fonts in 1999, and there is no equivalent to MM in the newer OpenType format. From late 2002 to mid 2003, Adobe phased out sales of multiple master fonts. As of this writing, they can only be bought from Adobe as part of Font Folio 9, which is still available for people who need compatibility with older fonts. The current version of Font Folio is Font Folio OpenType Edition, which shipped in August 2003.
At the end of 2004, Adobe stopped offering tech support for MM fonts, excepting for people with Font folio 9.

This inquiry is addressed to Thomas Phinney or any other font-savvy technician at Adobe. It relates to the very latest versions of the Mac OS (v.10.2.2) and Adobe Design applications (InDesign 2.0.1, Illustrator 10.0.3, Photoshop 7.0.1). It is about the use of Adobe's Multiple Master fonts. I was a big subscriber to the MM technology and have virtually all of the MM fonts Adobe issued. I have used them extensively in designs for the past four or five years. Now they have become problematic at best and Adobe has done precious little to keep MM fans informed regarding how to deal with the situation.
I have read every entry in this discussion thread and I still am unclear about where to install MM fonts and what the consequences might be. Furthermore, it took an hour of searching to find this thread. I am very disappointed in Adobe for not providing guidance on this issue in some very obvious, prominent place on their Web site.
As nearly as I can figure, the best place for MM fonts is in the Library>Application Support>Adobe>Fonts folder. Is this correct? And if it is, doesn't this mean that MM fonts will only be available to Adobe apps and therefore not be available to Xpress or Freehand or any other non-Adobe app?
And then I read that some MM instances still may not be available in Adobe apps and that "in some cases" this may be worked around by installing them in the applicaiton-specific fonts folder. Can they be installed in both locations at once? I don't think so. So do I now have to move MM fonts from folder to folder to insure performance? And what if I am working in all 3 Adobe apps at once (not at all uncommon)? What then?
Although this is the best advice I have been able to find so far and I thank you for it, it is still very "if-y." And very hard to come by. Adobe's behavior here is rather like the newspaper that makes a serious error on the front page and then prints an apology a week later on the bottom of an inside column on page 24 (or some other deep left-hand page), in 6 point type!!
The clear (although unstated) implication of this advice is that I should not expect font management programs (Suitcase, Font Reserve nor FontAgent Pro) to handle MM fonts. Is this correct? If it is, please state it clearly. This, of course means that MM fonts must always be active and will only appear in the font menus of Adobe applications (don't try to use them in Freehand or Xpress, let alone MS Word.) Does it not? And yet, most of my work is still done in Xpress, because most of my printers still aren't accepting InDesign files (most do not even have the app installed; hell, most are still running OS 9.)
Frankly, when I think of all the time and money that Adobe spent promoting the MM technology and all the money I (and many others) spent on MM fonts, I cannot help but feel betrayed by Adobe. Not for abandoning the technology (which I can accept as a matter settled in the marketplace), but for leaving high-and-dry we designers that bought into the technology and are now finding that not only does the new Mac OS have trouble with MM technology, but the Adobe design applicaitons for which it was intended also have trouble with it! What are we expected to do??? Will Adobe be issuing free postscript or OpenType versons of their MM fonts? No way! Or does Adobe expect us to convert all of our MM fonts to post script using a conversion utility (like TransType)? Yes, I rather suspect this is the route they would have us take.
Please do not reply to this inquiry (except to praise it, of course) unless you can speak for Adobe on the matter. Thank you.
