Font in CS4 doesn't work in CS6

I have a TrueType font that a friend made me a few years back. It's my favorite font and I use it frequently; however, I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and the font doesn't work properly in CS6. It does show in the font menus, but now in CS6 it's sorted in a separate font category (along with the Arabic fonts at the bottom), and the sample in the font menu is now merely squares in place of characters. There is a Regular and Bold verison of the font and both have the same issue.
What changed in CS6, and does anyone know how I can edit the font to make it work with InDesign again? I know I can just pick a new commercial font, but I have such a back log of work that used that font I'd prefer to just fix the font. This is on a Mac, and FontBook validates the font just fine, other apps (including CS4 also work fine with it), I'm not using any font management software (I use FontBook merely for validating the font.)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Peter.
I was able to fix 1 of the 2 problems. The font did in fact have some extraneous language entries in it's name table. I was able to edit those out and now the font sorts in the normal font list, and not in the Arabic font category.
But the font preview feature in the font menu is still showing boxes (instead of characters.) This is where it gets weird... if I go into Preferences and change the Font Preview size from Medium to Small or Large it works correctly. Just not with Medium (the default.) I've tried clearing font caches, etc, but I could at least live with small or large font previews in order to use the font with CS6.
To answer your question, the font does work correctly when setting type; however, if Font Preview is on the font will eventually be automatically disabled and drop out of the Font menu. Relaunching InDesign CS6 brings it back. Turning off Font Preview prevents this from happening.
I wonder what is different in CS6. Other apps work fine with this font (including CS4.) Even apps like Pages that also have font preview in their font menus.

Bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work. Why?

I bought a new Mac, had the Apple guys migrate my data and apps to it. Now CS4 doesn't work.
I researched a bit and found that I SHOULD have deactivated and uninstalled CS4 from my old Mac. I've now done that.
But do I have to uninstall CS4 files from my new Mac now--and reinstall? Will that work?

Hi,
I have a question related to one you answered above: "bought a new Mac, migrated data, now CS4 doesn't work."
My situation is a little different. I am hoping you can help me with it. I hope I am not violating any protocols by asking you specifically? A year ago I reinstalled my Mac's operating system. My CS4 is on my computer under "Previous System." I am unable to open it from there and I do not want to attempt migrating it for reasons noted above. I did try to reinstall it as you suggested to hbrady67 by dowloading from CS4 products with my serial number but I got this message: "Upgrade Check We looked in the default location for qualifying products installed on the machine, but none were found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing the fields to the right. 1) Select a product you already own. 2) Enter a serial number for this product. CS4 wasn't in the list of selections. The protocol suggested won't work for me since I am not doing an upgrade but trying to reinstall what I already have. Can you direct me on where to go/what to do? Thank you very much. Bergi.
I found the solution to this problem. I was able to download the trial version of what I have and enter the serial number from there. However, it still asked for a serial number from previous software: "your setup is for an upgrade version of Adobe Creative Suite 4." (I entered the serial number that I have for CS2. And it was accepted. Thank you. Bergi

CS4 doesn't work after LION installation

After the Lion installation i had several problems.
One of these is that the cs4 doesn't work.
i open illustrator or photoshop and they crash every time. "photoshop not responding" "illustrator not responding" and so on..
I had to reinstall all the suite that now works.
The question is... why??
I thought is is better to format the mac... should i do ?
thanks

Another problem is:
When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
(The Icon of the VLC Media Player only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)

Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

Do I need creative Cloud to use Font Folio or does it work with CS6?

The Adobe Font Folio has absolutely nothing to do with the Adobe Creative Cloud offering. I think you are thinking about TypeKit which is included with the Adobe Creative cloud, integrates with the Creative Cloud applications, but also allows use of the fonts therein with other applications.
The Adobe Font Folio is a disk with pretty much the entire Adobe Type Library. You install any number of fonts on the disk onto your system and they act just like any other fonts with any applications, including the CS6 applications.

Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

Oh hai!
I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
Encoding failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

Font missing CS4 script not working in CS5???

Premiere CS4 doesn't work on Windows 7

I have a delicious new Windows 7 edit suite I built for nearly 3 grand, and Adobe Production Premium CS4.
Premiere doesn't work properly.
I urgently need to edit a TV documentary. I don't have time to mess around, that's why I paid for the software rather than pirate it or get something like Vegas or Pinnacle.
I try and load my Premiere project and the thumbnails for my clips are grey and the program freezes when I try to view them.
Importing the project into a new project does nothing.
I just lose response as soon as I try to play some of the clips (about half of them)
All of the clips are on a local, high speed hard drive.
I have downloaded all Window's latest updates.. Same with Adobe..
This software is fairly disgusting. I've been struggling with Adobe Premiere for many years, especially on larger projects that aren't SD DVD-AVI format.

Hi Guys
I tried doing the benchmark thing but failed-
followed the instructions on the webpage, but found afterwards that they didn't match the instructions in the RTF file..
Couldn't get the script to work- runtime error.
However, project launched in around 11 seconds, rendered in I think less than a minute, and exported both formats in about 36 seconds.
Is that useful?
I am struggling to find any more time to work with this benchmarking utility.. thanks for bringing my attention to it though.
HDD setup is
System SSD
3 x Spinpoint F3 (not in RAID as I'm struggling setting it up without wiping Windows from the SSD...)
Asus P6TD
Graphics card is the weakest link here - 8500GT, until I can afford to upgrade.. Think it has latest drivers though.
X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard (very recently installed)
I do indeed have a Logitech mouse, it's using SetPoint, latest version with UberOptions.
It seems like this project is nothing less than corrupted. But nothing is helped by me importing it into a fresh project... my steps:
1. Load Prem CS4 (latest update)
2. Load Promo.prproj
3. When loaded, it takes an additional ~15 seconds of busy disk activity, loading thumbnails in the timeline etc, which it normally never does on this machine. Finally, offline symbols change to thumbnails in the project/bin pane
4. If I scroll down in the project window, the lower clips have no thumbnails and suddenly everything's fallen apart; the monitor is black, the source monitor is frozen... Sometimes Prem says not responding..

Premiere CS4 doesn't work properly with Windows 7 trial - Please help!

Hello!
I have installed the trial version of Windows 7 on my laptop and now my Premiere CS4 doesn't play the timeline in real time anymore. It worked fine with Windows Vista. I have also installed the newest Premiere update, but it didn't help. Is there a patch for Windows 7 (64bit) or will I have to wait until the full version comes out and try it again then?
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's a laptop and probably an older one, that means it is probably underpowered.
It's a laptop and that probably means it is a single 5400 rpm disk which is inadequate.
Bill,
Probably good observations. I tend to loose sight of the fact that most laptops are not like mine and forget the common limitations. One mentions "laptop," and I see my Sager - duh! on me.
To the OP, this ARTICLE might also offer some tips on getting your computer ready for an NLE session. Common references are to how things are done in XP-Pro (my OS), but you should be able to "read between the lines," and adapt the general concepts to Win7 and your setup.
Also, giving full specs. on your laptop might help greatly, otherwise we're all just guessing. Bill brings up a couple of critical points. Your details will either point to them, or dismiss them.
Good luck,
Hunt

Under accessibility you can make the text bold, that might help.

CS4 doesn't work after re-install MacBook Pro

Hello,
today i re-installed my MacBook Pro, after making a backup of all my programs via TimeMachine. After the re-installation i put all my programs back, but CS4 won't work anymore… I get the error code 150:30.
I tried to find and throw away the netflex-folder in the Library, but it's not in the library at all. I tried other steps on the Adobe-site as well, but nothng works.
I have a icensed product, but the install-disc are at my house in Holland and i am living in Rabat at the moment.
What to do?

ohhhhhhhh i thought u meant when you stand by your laptop it disconnects like your body was interfering with the signal lol. hmmmm. thats an odd one. sometimes computers of any kind have what i call "idiot moments" where they forget how to do something simple (like reconnect to the internet)
maybe try reconnecting your macbook pro to your internet starting from scratch that may solve it

Changing font in canvas doesn't work

Hi,
this is the code:
g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,Font.SIZE_LARGE));
While in the emulator and in my old Motorola V975 it works, in my Moto V3i it doesn't (the font remain always the same).
Any suggestions, please ?

Check the documentation on your device to find out which fonts/variations are supported. Not all devices support all font variations.

PPRO CS4 doesn't work?

I got PPro CS4 (french edition) by the adobe store. Download several times. Double click. A blank window opens with the title (Adobe premiere. this software doesn't answer). Sometimes, it carshes. Sometimes, it works. I put some clip on the timeline but I can't export on a tape or through media encoder. On the tape, there is nothing. Encore answers: "can't find the files". But I can see the film on the monitors. After that, PPro CS4 was unable to find the project.
Nothing has been moved and to make sure a new download and a new clean installation have been made.
make a phone call to adobe and I'm waiting for ...
I ask also to downgrade to PPro I bought to the adobe store in 2003. But this is no more available!
I really appreciate any help
regards

Hello,
Thanks Robert for the link.
There are one or two problems:
1)PPros CS4 crashed when launched
2)A problem with media encoder (maybe 2 comes from 1)
The second problem looks (at least partially or it's a variant) like the problem described by Ruby45 in your forum and solved(?) by Johan973. (error messages are similar).
Some comments:
1) I have also photoshopCS (zero) and adobe web premium cs3 suite. Recently due to conflict between extension manager cs3 and cs4 i got a hard time to move the pvii extension from dw8 to dwcs3.
2) On the folder .../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/ i have some folders called PremierePro (includig the folder 4.0) and Premiere Pro (including 4.0, 1.5 and 1.0) and i never did a change.
3)I didn't find in the folder programme/adobe/..../premiere any PProCS4.exe
At this time I csan't afford any issue with dreamwaver/fireworks cs3 or any interruption of service.
Question:
1) any conflict known between CS3 and CS4? solution?
2)how to perform a very clean installation of PPro CS4 without any interference with the web suite cs33? (I already download and install ppro cs4 several times).
regards

Mail Message List Font in Preferences doesn't Work

I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and am trying out the new features.
In Mail - which I think captures all of my email even though I am on iCloud - I can't seem to get the font on the Message List (on the left where it lists all of your email) to get larger.
In Mail Prefrences it allows you to increase the "Message List" font but when I do this nothing happens. In fact, none of the changes to any of the font sizes seems to do anything.
I have a large screen and hate to keep squinting on my email list. What am I doing wrong or is there something else associated with this Mail Preference selection?
Or, is it just not working?
Help or suggestions appreciated.

Turns out that there is no way to change this unless uing the classic mailbox... We're stuck with the default setup on the new style.
