Font issue: Arabic Transparent/Bold

I initially posted this comment here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773857?tstart=0 (in the wrong forum) so I'm reposting it here:
In December 2010, I was not having problems pdf'ing an MS Word document with Arabic Transparent and Arabic Transparent Bold (a Microsoft font) in it. This week, I'm getting the following error message:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: ArabicTransparent-Bold cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (Glyf) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
[Warning] The font ArabicTransparent-Bold could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions.
Text may display incorrectly on platforms that do not have this font installed.
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets [1]xJ%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
FYI, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 (I aslo have Adobe Design Premium CS4), Microsoft Word 2007, and Windows XP Professional (version 2002, service pack 3).
Has there been a recent change to the licensing restrictions of this font? If licensing is not the issue, what is the issue and does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks.

It may be a corrupt font. Our IT group is looking into it. When I change the font to Arial, it pdfs fine.
I tried typing the font directly into InDesign (even though Arabic text does not render correctly unless you're using InDesign ME) and then pdf'ing it. I got the same kind of error message about licensing:
"This font could not be embedded due to licensing restrictions in the font..."
InDesign ended up replacing the font with another one that looks similar. If our IT group fixes this, I'll post the solution. Until then, I'd appreciate all the suggestions/ideas you (and others) have. Thanks.

Get a Arabic text bold in a basic RichText control

Maybe a very silly question, but I'm searching for a solution many days now and maybe someone had the same issue.
I have a basic Arabic text and put in a Flex RichText control with this line:
public override function set text( value:String ):void
this.textFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString( value );
// this.textFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow( value, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT );
In a CSS file I tell the application to make all the text bold for this RichText control. And the strange thing that happens is that a "normal" english text appears bold and the arabic text stays the same as if the font-weight was set to normal.
Can someone please help me?

Nothing to do with CSS.
On windows I have AdobeArabic-Regular and AdobeArabic-Bold installed.
This markup gives me bold text. I use the textLine.dump() method to see what font player has actually chosen.
<span fontFamily="Adobe Arabic" fontWeight="bold">
If I remove AdobeArabic-Bold and render the same markup FlashPlayer does a fallback looking for some appropriate bold font that has Arabic. If it can't find it bold text is not rendered.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Font issues when in preview or publishing project (Captivate 4)

I am continuing to experience problems with fonts in my projects.
As a standard, I am only using Verdana 11 pt and 10 pt in my slides. This standard/consistancy is quite evident when I am viewing the slides in edit view. However, when I preview or publish the project, the text from slide to slide is not consistant.
It appears as through some slides display Vendana slightly squished... it is clearly Vendana just reduced in height. I have tried various options, such as setting the quality mode and so far,nothing has helped.
Please see the attachment, which should better illustrate what I am describing. Each of the five 100% cropped screen captures are from separate slides and I have combined them into one jpg.
Any ideas?

Hi Shawn
Sorry I didn't see this before you went to the trouble of deleting the dat file. I would have speculated this would have had no difference whatsoever.
It's common to see folks report issues with Transparent captions. Normally the report is that the captions are "blurry" or "fuzzy". Usually it's because of anti-aliasing. There are ways past it.
Fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst initially discovered that if you simply highlight one blank character using the color #C0C0C0 the caption would render without anti-aliasing.
Later we discovered that if the caption had a bullet point anywhere in the text, it would render without anti-aliasing. That seems simpler to me than using the highlight. What you do is just add a few blank lines, apply the bullet to the last line, then size the caption so you don't see the bullet. (assuming, of course, that you had no bullets elsewhere. In that case it would be unnecessary to do this)
The Captivate developers added in an option where you may enable/disable anti-aliasing globally. This is done via Edit > Preferences > Project > SWF Size and Quality.
Hopefully something there was helpful... Rick

Converting a PDF to a SWF Font issues

Hi,
Maybe somebody out there has seen this and can guide me in
the right direction?
I am trying to convert PDF files into a flash book using the
flashprinter product.
Here is an example of the PDF I am trying to convert. (you
should see it is using the
following fonts PostScript Fonts - HelveticaNeue-HeavyCond,
HelveticaNeue-LightCond, HelveticaNeue-LightCondObl,
NewsGothic and NewsGothic-Bold).
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/FontProblems.pdf
When this gets converted to the Swf (LOOK at the file ZOOM+
Mode)
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/EZBlue_v11t.swf?RRDid=aFC3tehrg1VGCUIylKIQ
Once I saw what was happening I thought it was a font issue
and I made up a page with all the fonts used by using the ATM
sample viewer.
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/AllFontsUsed.pdf
(Look at the SWF file in the ZOOM + mode view - looks great)

Yosemite Safari Font Issue

Hi!
I just updated to Yosemite and my Safari fonts have been replaced by what appears to be Arial Bold Italics.
Everything looks Bold and Italics, even when I am typing this message.
Can someone help me with this font issue?
Thanks.

I'm having this issue too. It starts this way and next I will see all the fonts corrupt or change to a bold arial font. I'm totally sick of this. Restarting in safe mode, repair permissions, remove caches and preferences and when that doesn't work, reset Safari. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.
I'm not buying a new mac till they do!

IWeb '09 Random Font Issues

Saturday, February 7, 2010
Hello,
For my website, I am using Arial as my font. For some reason, only certain pages are having font issues once published. The published Arial fonts are changed to Times and also decreased in size.
I've been trying to figure out the cause, and it appears to occur when fonts are bold or underlined, but some times I have no issues and other times I can't avoid it.
I've tried deleting the pages and then starting with a blank page but the font issues keep re-occuring.
Anybody else experience this and is there a way to solve this?
Thank you in advance!
Jeff

The first thing you need to establish is whether this problem is with iWeb or publishing.
To do this you need to publish to a local folder by clicking your website name at the top of the left column in the iWeb window and selecting that option on the publishing options page.
This will give you a folder of files and an index.html file. Double click the index file to launch your site in the browser and see if the errors are present. If they are, the problem is in iWeb. If they aren't, then you have a publishing problem.

giadad,
It sounds as this issue:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

Font issue in subtitles of DVDSP 4?

I have been using DVDSP3, and recently upgraded to DVDSP4, along with all the other members of my multimedia workgroup. Most of our DVD projects include subtitling, in a great variety of languages, sometimes as many as 20-30 on a DVD. Instantly we are noticing that the subtitles (in ver. 4 projects) look slightly distorted. There is a note in the Late Breaking News section of the DVDSP 4 documentation that implies that the appearance of fonts in the Subtitle Editor may not match the appearance of the the fonts on the actual DVD. It is a note for OS 10.3 users, and I don't know if this relates to what we are seeing, but the font degradation we are experiencing is present on both computers that are running 10.3 and on those running OS 10.4. Has anyone else noticed that subtitles in standard fonts, such as Helvetica Bold, don't look clean in DVDSP 4, or not nearly as clean as they did in DVDSP 3? [To be specific, the tracking is a little off, the letters seem fat, the lowercase "a" and "e" characters are slightly the wrong shape -- very odd.] I might think that my computer had a particular issue, but I am seeing this on all the computers in our group...
We normally add our subtitles via STL import files, but I also see this when I create subtitles manually.
I am in search of a workaround, to display our standard subtitles. I have tried most of the available system fonts, hoping to find one that works. To add one more twist, Cyrillic (Russian and Bulgarian) subtitles do look pretty good when done in Lucida Grande, and my Asian languages (Chinese Traditional and Simplified, Korean, etc) do not show any apparent distortions. My biggest problem is finding a bolded font for what should be the easy languages-- English, French, etc.
Anyone else having trouble subtitling in ver. 4?
Duel 2.5 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Yeah, unfortunately that's where we first discovered it -- in the QA of a burned DVD. On more testing, it seems like Arial is the biggest disaster. Helvetica looks more normal at very specific font sizes -- 36, 30, and 26 all look a bit better than those sizes in between. And Lucida Grande is not much affected at all. Many of the less common fonts are less suitable to subtitles (can't be made bold, or look too stylized, etc), so admittedly I have only been checking about 10 of the major fonts.
For now, I am going to try to just switch all our Western European languages to Lucida Grande.
Any ideas? Could the install have corrupted our fonts? Are you seeing anything similar?
Thanks,
Bob

Flash player 8 - font issues

Having font issues exporting to Flash Player 8 using CS6. The problem is both PC (Windows 7) and Mac (10.8.3). The font in dynamic text boxes will not display properly, ie reverting to regular or not at all. Seems to be when using demi/semi and sometimes bold type, Myriad Pro Semibold/Avenir Demi in particular. Any help gratefully appreciated. Note: Has to be Flash Player 8 due to client.

Seriously, if I have to repeat another question I will stop replying on this thread.
If you tell it to generate a size report in the publish settings and look in the file, what does it tell you about what characters are being embedded and where? If you are not able to figure it out from looking at the report, feel free to paste the text of it back here.

Safari 6.0 font issue

I have recently updated my system to mountain lion and have some strange font issues. Some sites have a bolded body font and I cannot find any way to change it!

Open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab.
Click: Open Print Queue then delete the queue.
Quit then relaunch Safari.
See if that made a difference...

Font Issues - slides won't hold formatting

Everytime I open an existing presentation, all fonts on all slides default to Helvetica. I have to "reapply master to slide" for all slides - EVERY TIME I open the document. Not a font issue - it's Arial Bold - and the formatting is correct on the Master, and Keynote is recognizing the font. Why won't my slides hold their formatting?
Also, I get "missing font" when launching app - it says Markerfelt-thin is missing, even though I never had such a crappy looking font. Anyway, installed it - and can now select test and change font to Markerfelt - and it displays fine. Still get the "Missing Font" message anyway. Keynote is clearly recognizing that I have it loaded, why the message?
Thanks.

I too am having this font issue in Iwork 06, but only on one machine in our office.
Even if we try to change the colour of a word on any presentation that we open on the machine the font changes to Helvetica Condensed Bold. When we turn the font off and we get a message that the font is missing on every slide and the master slide, but it's not anywhere on the slides. We never use this font for presentations.
It's a pain. Wish I had a solution...really I wish I had one to share.

Font issue with InDesign and OS 10.6

I have read quite a bit on this but have found no resolution. We installed OS 10.6 on two of our three G5 Macs at work. We use InDesign CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
When we open an InDesign file that we all share, the machines with 10.6 on it say fonts are missing. (I believe this is a naming convention problem.) I learned that some of the fonts for InDesign should be moved to the InDesign font folder. We did that. That helped on several of the fonts. However, we still have an issue with Helvetica Neue, and Universe (67 or other numbers). I have the same Universe font family listed, but when I go to find 67 or 47, they aren't there.
Anyone else having this problem? Do we need to go in to every document and change the fonts to avoid this error? Is there a better fix?

I have just swapped from an old Mac Mini (using 10.4.11) to the new Mac Mini (using 10.6.6). I did not do any fiddling about fonts. Everything is as it installs. The only thing I did is to resolve duplicate fonts in Font Book.
For convenience, I used Arial for documents. Now when I open an ID document, it says Arial[TT] (as well as bold, italic...) is missing. I checked the Arial ttf group is in /Library/Fonts, but in ID font list, it shows an Open type.
All I want is that the fonts should work, when I open all the InDesign documents (still in CS2 Version) that I created since last five years. I am no techie by any means, what I need is a step-to-step to solve the font issue, so that I can get on work immediately.
Any concrete step-to-step advice is highly appreciated.

Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

I still don’t have a clue…

PDF Format Oracle Reports font issue

My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
Their key map is:
Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS ser is generating and saving the report in the specified location.Reports are running on the server locally and DESTYPE=FILE. So the Oracle Reports output is saved on the server itself. Whenever i open the report on my machine/server i have font issue. Some of the reports has very tiny font. It seems the reports generated by using oracle reports which is Arial Unicode font type is causing the problem. If any reports other then Arial Unicode font like Arial Westrn, those reports are fine. We have 1000s of reports. So we don't want to change each report font type. For me it seems the issue is with the font on the server. Is there anyway to ask App server use Arial Westrn if Arial Unicode not found. How to make these configuration changes in the server. Any suggestions please.

Maybe this helps or at least points you in some direction ...
Have a look at font aliasing when configuring Application Server : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_font.htm#i1006140
If your Application Server is located on Windows I would suggest to install the fonts there.
In Unix, this a more complex task.
