Font Identification
I need help in identifying an older font, out of the late 1930's for a project.
Take a look at: www.mybloo.com/coosbay/eBay/title.jpg
See if you recognise it, and can then either cite me a name or a truetype font.

Help with font identification for subs?

Hi Everyone,
I have been struggling, as it seems many are with getting my subs to liik good in encore. I'm not expecting blu ray results, but something in the vein of this:
Can anyone identify the font or the settings? I love adobe products, but this has been a major pain in encore.
Many thanks,
howard

Hi Everyone,
I have been really woking with encore to deliver what I think looks like good subs. I have something here and I was curiosu about your opinions:
What do you all think? Is it too big? Does it look right? I have been playing with pretty much every setting and trying a million different fonts and sizes. How do they compare with the screen cap from above? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Do subs display differently from PAL to NTSC? Should I be using different style fonts for 16:9 or 4:3?
Many thanks,
howard

I'm looking for this font (or very similar one)

I would like to know what font this is, or the name of a similar font.
I've already tried with font from an image recognition services and also sites with step by step font identification. It's not a typical serif or sans-serif font, so no luck so far.

Why in CS4 is my font changing in my artwork on an open?

I have Helvetica Bold in the original CS2 file. When I open the artwork in CS4, all Helvetica Bolds have changed to Swiss 721 SWA. I can do a save as in CS4 as a CS2 file, then open in CS2 the font is still Helvetica Bold.
Any help would be appreciated. This also is happening in CS5.

The font identification info has changed, which may depend on you using an older version of the font or general changes in the Adobe type engine around CS3. Possibly nothing you can change, but of course try the usual steps of palying with glyph protection in the prefs and replacment settings in your type palettes.

Identification of terms; default font, where is it?

OK, I guess a spreadsheet (Appleworks) with rows and columns is now called a table and what is now called a spreadsheet is a whole new thing, kind of like a blank counter top on which to put tables and charts and such? I wish they would connect up new language with old instead of just starting out as if history never existed.
Ok, when I open Numbers, I want it to come up in Geneva 12 with an appropriate row height. How can I do that - that is, set that as the default?

Apple feed back for complaints. Only users here using their spare time helping others.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Make up a table formated to use Geneva 12. Add top, side or bottom headers, 1,2,3 or none at all. You can grab a ready made table from the toolbar Table drop down if you prefer. Use one of the set Styles on the side bar for colour or set your own. The inspector has most of what you need.
Name it then save as 'template'.
Go to Numbers > General preferences > For New Documents set 'Use template: Blank' then 'Choose' your own. You can of course make as many as you like.
Have fun with it.

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

Font Not Appearing Correctly

I've had a font collection Mrs. Eaves for years. It works fine in every application. It is suddenly, for a reason I cannot fathom, not working with pages. Some of the fonts in the collection display the wrong characters. The font files are on the fonts folders, every other application I've tried displays them fine. I've tried trashing and reinstalling the fonts. I've cleaned caches. I've repaired permissions. What else can I do? This font is very important for my work.

I'm curious that this is not automatically possible since, even under the old Type1 PS font tables glyphs were named as well as just given a number.
There is a first principle in information technology: You can automatically audit whether or not a data structure is present, but you cannot automatically audit whether its meaning is correct or incorrect.
(Among other things, this iprinciple is stated in the patent for heuristics to reclaim character information which Adobe has licenced from PDFLib for PDF/A.)
The simple set theory at the basis of this is that Interpress and PostScript were both designed as glyph encoding models and not as character encoding models.
Harrington and Buckley in their 1988 to Interpress explain that the design allows several character sets with incompatible constitutencies to be imaged simultaneously.
For the RIP to process and draw glyphs it has to have an identification scheme of sorts, and that scheme could not be a character encoding prior to ISO-IEC 10646-1:1993.
PostScript glyph identifiers were initially regulated by Adobe and Linotype, but whether or not you could get from the glyph identifiers back to the character information was of no importance because the character information was not unified and thus could not in principle serve as support for an internationalised search architecture.
In 1989 when Warnock announced in the New York Times that the aim was to distribute a document world wide in wholly digital form, the commercial and mathematical challenge was to turn Adobe glyph names into a surrogate character superset. This way incompatible character constitutencies could index into the surrogate superset and character information recovered.
In 1991 when Warnock announed in the New York Times that search support was to arrive in Carousel, the Adobe Type 1 Specification and the Apple TrueType 1 Specification had already been published in the summer of 1991, and the Apple and Microsoft had already made it clear that the OS market wanted a character encoding model instead of a glyph encoding model.
From there it went to bits, Adobe pressing for more and more type designers to move to the Type 1 format in order to try as best as possible to maintain control of the glyph identifiers, Apple and Microsoft pressing in the opposite direction where in the intelligent font model character codes and public and font-independent while glyph codes are private and font-dependent.
By April 1992 when FOGRA Forschungsgesellschaft Druck in München held a conference on the direction of development in professional prepress, Adobe in a telecommunications appearance claimed that 16,000 products were already on the market in the Type 1 font program dictionary format and that Carousel was imminent in 1993 (per online article by Chief Editor Kurt Wolf of Deutsche Drucker).
The problem with this is that the PostScript interpreter has no information (none at all) about the source character set, it only has information about the glyph identifiers in the Type 1 font program dictionary. It doesn't need the characters in any case, because they were not consistent identifiers until Adobe adopted UTF16 short character identifiers as glyph identifiers in 1998.
In my opinion, the technical writing for all this was terrible from the beginning, those who tried from the outside were not given half a chance, and what came out from inside was not but waffling at best (and at worst it was deliberate disinformation).

CS3 Find Font/Delete Paragraph Style/Redefine Paragraph Style Causes Crash

I am running into a very frustrating issue where I cannot replace a paragraph style. The issue is that we used to use some adobe type fonts and want to move to the true type equivalent so that we don't have problems working on files between mac and pc. The problem occurs on both mac and pc on a variety of hardware (both c86 and ppc macs for example). When we open the document it identifies that the font cannot be found (example Palatino T1). When we click find font and select the regular ttf Palatino replacement and click Change All Indesign just vanishes and leaves a crash message with a ton of garbage and a read only memory error. The same happens if we change the font on some text and right click on aragraph style and click "redefine style" - there is a sudden crash.
Trying to work around this I went into our templates and tried to change it there. Opening the paragraph style and selecting the new font caused it to crash upon selecting OK. Also trying to Make a new paragraph style works, but then when deleting the old one causes a crash no matter what combination of mapping or not mapping the old paragraph style we chose (we tried every option under the dialogue and selected several different styles to map to or none at all).
This occurs on several different fonts and on several different templates. I have tried deleting the adobe font cache to no avail. Any help resolving this would be great - all our employees are going nuts over this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Peter, your latest post led me to an interesting revelation. When I change Palatino (t1) bold to Palatino Bold using Find/Change it is fine. When I change Palatino (t1) to any font using Find/Change there is a curious result! As soon as I click find first the page changes to the default template and all content is hidden. The 4 or 5 places where palatino occurs on the default template change fine, but then on the next click of FIND FIRST it crashes! So the problem is connected to "find first", not the actual change. My guess is this is an issue of with how the find/change jumps from the template to the individual page, but I'm not sure exactly what is happening.

Fonts in pdf files show as squares

My new lion imac renders some fonts in pdf files as squares. I trensferred applications and setting from my old snow leopard macbook which was working ok. Problem appears in preview, skim, filemaker but not in adobe reader. Seems like the lion pdf renderer is not working correctly?

It seems that the problem is with good old Helvetica. Acrobat Professional identifies the "boxed" fonts as:
Helvetica
Type: Type 1
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: Helvetica
Actual Font Type: TrueType
According to FontBook, this Helvetica is installed on my system:
    PostScript name    Helvetica
    Full name    Helvetica
    Family    Helvetica
    Style    Regular
    Kind    TrueType
    Language    Afrikaans, Albanian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Kalaallisut, Kazakh, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Manx, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Oromo, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss German, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Welsh, Zulu

    Enabled    Yes
    Duplicate    No
    Copy protected    No

    Glyph count    2.194
I guess there is a Helvetica mix-up. The PDF seems to contain a Type 1 version, which is substituted with the standard Apple system Helvetica dfont version, but they don't match.
This is indeed a long-standing problem, not really Lion specific. But I would have thought that by now it would have been solved. Why all those conflicting font formats and encodings anyway? What a mess this is!

Still looking for font solution

A problem I'm trying to get resolved:
I have some true type fonts. When I attempt to open their suitcase all it does is open font book and displays one version of the font.
I recall in earlier OSs you could click open the suitcase and view the font names and sizes within.
Am I doing something wrong?
If I have 8 styles of a font do I need 8 suitcases, or is one enough? If one is enough does the suitcase have to include all the font styles inside, or is just one style enough?
One other question:
QuarkXPress support claims that the printer fonts are missing in the fonts I've asked them to analyze.
However, these same fonts have printed normal on my inkjet and also at one of the print on demand printers. The fonts printed ok in RGB documents, but the same document printed in CMYK has the type substituted with courier.
PS: These same fonts have printed successfully in both RGB and CMYK in the past. The only difference that I can think of is that the document PDF files were created through Quark running OS 10.3. The errors began when I switched to OS 10.4. Could this be the cause, because if it is then how come the RGB PDFs created in OS 10.4 still print ok?
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks

Frank,
I wondered what type of fonts you were using and your query is a bit telling. Briefly…
TrueType fonts: both the screen and printer fonts for all styles are wrapped in one document.
PostScript fonts: Generally, a typeface has one screen font document with the various styles and separate documents for each printer font file as a vector drawing. If the typeface has many styles, e.g., light, roman, book, heavy, demibold, bold, extra bold, etc. then the manufacturer may create a few screen font documents.
Here’s an Apple doc about Font Formats
Although, Apple, Microsoft and other organizations say that the two type formats can work together in OS X, in my experience, TrueType fonts are trouble in Quark XPress documents. I do not have the expertise to explain the technical aspects, but Quark is a graphics application different from a wordprocess application. Printing Quark docs goes through a raster imaging process and many non-postscript printers can “emulate” postscript but they are not true PostScript. For example, kerned text may not print the same if different types of fonts are used. Some TrueType fonts may have the same name as PostScript fonts which can create a conflict as to which one the printer uses. I am not sure how ID numbers are assigned to truetype fonts. I think that each postscript printer font has its own ID number.
To learn more about fonts, Kurt Lang has great information on Font Management.
A couple of things you might do are: (a) check for duplicate fonts with your font management application, e.g., Font Book, Suitcase, FontExplorer etc. and (b) clear your font cache with Font Finagler or Font Nuke.
With respect to your document having RGB and CMYK images…generally, in the “high-end” lithography industry, all color photos have to be CMYK because those are printing press ink colors. RGB are not ink colors. So, I wonder if when the Quark PDF converter identifies a CMYK image, it then expects to find either a postscript or opentype font and when it does NOT it substitutes…

How to solve some fonts displayed as squares issue.

Hi,
I try to stabilize a pdf generation config with specific parameters to allow exact render of text with any reader.
1°| Configuration
RIP
Compatibility: pdf 1.5
Compression: images only, zip
Fonts: all integrated, no substitution.
[PDFCreator only:
ghostscript x64 9.06 (junction to a independant install as PDFCreator install 32b version)
use windows fonts yes
no fontmap files]
PRINTER
Substitution table: no substitution
Smallest vector font size: 10px
TrueType Fonts: Download as soft font
Postscript: Optimize portability
Download TrueType Fonts: Native TrueType
Postscript level: 3
Since this problem occurs for years now, i can mention 2 products and version concerned at now:
-PDFCreator version 1.6.2 (always occured as long as i can remember).
-novaPDF version 7.7 build 387
Reader affected is Adobe READER X version 10.1.5.33 (option use local fonts on or off no effect)
Reader not affected evince version 2.32.0.145
System Windows 7 x64 Fr
Browser Firefox 18.0.2
2°| Issue
You can encounter this problem even with testpage printing (Title replaced by squares) but it's not the most annoying case so i will present it true a webpage problem.
For instance with css supressed:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/specs/transport.html#soap
With Firefox configured with default font Times New Roman
Then try to print to pdf with either PDFCreator or novaPDF, open with Adobe reader you get :
Properties:
open with evince you get:
Properties:
Strange!
But now let's try to use a font from adobe reader Minion Pro.
properties:
with evince:
properties:
When saving to html file and open with LibreOffice Title appears to be verdana;helvetica;sans-serif.
Export to pdf give this:
(As export is not a printing i show this because long time ago i used makepdf if i remember which was not a printer.)
Is True Type not supported ?
Do i need to modify adobe reader config manually?
I need new ideas for a solution as it's not possible to ask everyone to use evince... and Times New Roman is not the only font causing this issue.
Thanks for reading.

Actually, because the difference was intriguing, I found a little more time. Here is a discussion of the problem. I do not expect it to mean anything to you, but can be passed along to the maintainers of GhostScript and/or PDFCreator if you wish.
The file was created by GPL GhostScript 9.06, application PDFCreator Version 1.6.2.
In creating this PDF, the three TimesNewRoman fonts were embedded, as symbolic fonts
with randomly assigned glyphs starting with index 0. No Encoding was used in the font
dictionary. They contain a (1,0) and (3,0) cmap subtable.
The TimesNewRoman font is set up almost correctly, with Flags 4 (symbolic), though 6 would be
better prthaps (symbolic, serif)
The TimesNewRoman,Bold and ,Italic fonts had Flags 34 and 98 respectively. Crucially, these
do not set the symbol flag (values of 6 and 70 respectively would work as expected).
ISO 32000-1 9.6.6.4 talks about how Encoding is managed for TrueType fonts. It identifies
two cases which should "ensure predictable behaviour across all conforming readers":
* A nonsymbolic font should specific MacRoman Encoding or WinAnsiEncoding.
* A font not using standard encodings should not specify an Encoding; should set the
Symbol Flag; and should contain a 1,0 subtable.
Neither of these cases apply to the ,Bold or ,Italic case (but the presence of a Symbol
flag would make them apply, and tests show this increases consistency).
Hence, this is in the territory officially described by ISO 32000-1 as "dependent on
the conforming reader" and not honouring "should follow certain guidelines to ensure
predictable behaviour across all conforming readers".
The behaviour of this PDF is not predictable, as has been seen (evince displays as expected
by the user, if not by the specification, while Acrobat, Mac OS X Preview and Chrome do not).
Recommend that the PDF creation module in GhostScript be modified to follow one of the
two cases above, for consistent rendering.

Since upgrading to Firefox 33, The open sans font did not display correctly when specified by a website.

Some of the vertical lines in the fonts are double width like a mixture of bold and normal font weight. I have hardware accellaration disabled. The problem is not fixed when I change default font settings. The problem is not resolved be resetting zoom to 0.
Inspect Element identifies the problem happens when the website selects open Sans. If I stop sites selecting fonts and force the defaults I don not get the problem. Therefore the problem is with Firefox 33.1 rendering certain fonts specified by websites.
My machine is windows vista and Open Sans is not shown in the font list. However this was not a problem with previous versions of Firefox.
I did need to do a reset of firefox parameters during the upgrade to 33 so maybe ther eis some other parameter which needs changing to help render fonts which are not loaded on the machine?

Here is a screenshot:

Decreasing the font size in a Classical report

Hi all,
i have to decrease the font size in the output of a classical report while printing. I have tried the following snippet:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON LINE-SIZE zeichen_pro_zeile
                    LINE-COUNT zeilen_pro_seite
                    NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION rl04i-prnew

                    NO DIALOG.
*PRINT-CONTROL LPI 6.
   PRINT-CONTROL LPI 10.
but this is not working fine.
Can anybody suggest something about it?
Regards,
Divya

Hi,
It is not possible to decrease the font-size in a classical report.
We don't have any option to format the output in the reports..
As per my knowledge, it is not possible to decrease or increase the font size in a classical report..
one thing u can do is to do some setings at the printer side...
Cheers,
Simha.

Identifying Full Font Family Names from Acrobat "Properties"

I routinely update PDFs where the originator is unavailable to question about typography issues. The problem I'm having currently, and continue to have, is that Acrobat (on V8) identifies font names differently from say...the Adobe Store.
For instance, currently I'm editing a PDF that uses fonts from the "HelveticaNeue" family. I don't have this font, so if I go over to the Adobe store and try to find it, I get multiple types of "HelveticaNeue" font, and none of them are exactly what Acrobat provides as the name.
For instance:
Acrobat says: HelveticaNeue-Black
Adobe store offers:
Helvetica Neue Std Black
Helvetica Neue 93 Black
Helvetica Neue 95 Black
and so on and so forth
But NO "HelveticaNeue-Black" is in the list.
Neither the spelling of the Acrobat font family, or the actual full name seem to match anything in the Adobe store.
So, does anyone know a way to figure out exactly which font family Acrobat has in the PDF?
Thanks in advance.

Chris Souther asked:
"Does anyone know a way to figure out exactly which font family
Acrobat has in the PDF?"
PDF's may include individual fonts, not families. For the most part,
the font names shown are the actual font names. Or, more precisely,
the PS Font Names.
I'm looking at an older Type 1 font right now that has the following
names in its name table (or at least the ones I can see in FontLab):
Family Name: Helvetica Neue
Weight: Black
Style Name: Regular
PS Font Name: HelveticaNeue-Black
Full Name: Helvetica 95 Black
Menu Name: Helvetica 95
Fond Name: Helvetica 95
To prevent conflicts, Adobe did some name modification when they
created OpenType versions of fonts:
The OTF version of the same font shows:
Family Name: Helvetica 95 Black
Weight: Heavy
Style Name: Regular
PS Font Name: HelveticaNeue-Black
Full Name: Helvetica Neue 95 Black
Menu Name: Helvetica 95 Black
Fond Name: Helvetica 95 Black
It appears that either one of these might be the one used in your PDF
- and they should be interchangeable.
Just to confuse things further, the fontnames for embedded subsets may
be preceded by random 6-letter-and-a-plus-sign strings like HFTRDS+,
or in some cases where the PDF isn't produced by Adobe Acrobat,
TrueType fonts might have peculiar names like TT493875.
Note that with the exception of a small "webfonts' collection Adobe
has never produced Truetype fonts. If, as you indicated in another
gorup, you need to install these fonts, you need them in T1 or OpenType.

More font questions

What I can't seem to find in any of these replies--I probably just haven't found the right one yet!--is whether the new OS X Tiger can use older mac fonts or any of the free mac fonts available on the internet...and that goes for all free mac downloads. I can't seem to get ANYTHING in a format that actually works with this OS!
I have hundreds of great fonts on my older macs, but I'm guessing if they are not TTF (which most, of course, will not be) they won't transfer. Also, it seems that the vast majority of downloads come through as .sit files--not sure what that is, but they are not registering as fonts. Now what?

Hi rosy,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
This is more an OS X question than an Appleworks one, and you may get a more definitive reply by pisting in the Tiger forum.
".sit" is a suffix that identifies a file compressed using Stuffit, the 'standard' compression application for Mac under OS 9 and earlier. To open these you need the free download of Stuffit Expander.
If your older fonts are TrueType (which most of the scaleable ones will be) they should be useable in Tiger. Bit Map fonts (any that showed some sizes in black and others in outline in the Font menu on your older Mac) may not be useable in OS X.
Regards,
Barry
