Font issue in Indesign CS2

Hi. I just received a new computer and although I have not had any issues with the Palatino Adobe font in the past, for some reason it no longer displays properly (pinked out).  I have uninstalled the font through Adobe Type manager, checked my PS Font folder to make sure there are no Palatino fonts (either True Type, Open Type or Adobe) left in that folder and then reinstalled the font. I then rebooted my computer and although I went through these steps and the only Palatino font on my computer now is an Adobe one, In Design still cannot read the font. I then opened up MS Word, Photoshop, and Illustrator to see if I could access the Palatino font, and I had no issues at all. It seems it's only the In Design program that has an issue reading the font.
Any suggestions at all would be most welcomed because this is the main font that our company uses and my job depends on it.
Thanks,
Colourss

I had similar issue with Helvetica Medium and Bold fonts. All other variants of Helvetica were displayed nicely in Indesign CS2, but those two were missing. Indesign CS3 was able to display all the fonts correctly. I tried deleting the AdobeFntXX.lst files and uninstalling fonts, copying into different directories, but nothing helped with CS2. Finally I started tweaking the AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts folder in the Indesign CS2 installation directoty and got the Medium and Bold fonts working.
Here's what I did:
1. Removed problematic fonts from ATM and Windows fonts folder
2. Copied fonts into Fonts folder under CS2 installation directory
3. Deleted AdobeFntXX.lst file under Fonts directory
4. Started InDesign CS2, so new AdobeFntXX.lst file were generated
5. Edited the AdobeFntlstXX.lst file as follows:
For Helvetica bold font I replaced dash in the font name with whitespace:
FontName:Helvetica-Bold   ->   FontName:Helvetica Bold
For Helvetica Medium font I added text "Medium" to the font name:
FontName:Helvetica   ->   FontName:Helvetica Medium
After these changes InDesign CS2 started to display both fonts. I guess it has something to do with font familynames or something like that.
I know this is not exactly same case as yours, but hopefully it can help you to find the resolution.

  • 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.

  • Font issue between indesign and another application

    I'm having issues with some fonts used in indesign that are not found in another app.
    For example, Antihistory Regular is used in the indesign document but the other app is looking for Antihistory Book?

    It's CS4 6.0.3 on OSX.
    The other application is a web app in development.
    My guess now is Flash compiles the fonts and it sees Antihistory regular as Antihistory book and our website is expecting regular.

  • Arial Black font problems in InDesign CS2

    Hi there,
    I'm having a bit of a problem with the Arial Black font in InDesign CS2.  I recently got a new computer running Windows XP. The computer has had  MS Service Pack 3 installed. When I installed my old fonts onto the new  computer and booted up InDesign, I noticed there was no Arial Black font, only Arial Black Italic. When I looked under the Arial group of fonts a Black version of the font was there, but on my old machine Arial Black is a separate font group. I've tried deleting the font cache and adding the fonts to the InDesign fonts folder as well, but it still doesn't register as a separate font family. I've also tried installing an older version of Arial Black (2.35 from 2004) and emptying the font cache but still no joy. The  problem is I work on a newspaper and this font is quite common, and is  used on our templates, so when I receive a page I need to change the  font, which isn't ideal. Interestingly, the file name of the font is  ariblk.ttf, but when you look at the icon it appears to be OpenType. The  Arial Black Italic font is called ARBLI__.TTF and has a TrueType icon, and this appears as a separate font family in InDesign. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I'd give it a go anyway. And please keep in mind that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing.
    At some point, if the current policy holds, you'll be out of the upgrade loop and will have to pay full price.

  • Font issue in Photoshop CS2

    Hi!
    I just encountered a rather annoying problem I don't know how to solve. So far I couldn't find any solution on forums either.
    Recently I got the new Intel-based MacBook Pro. Although I had known about the problems beforehand as well as about perfermance issues I now encountered a new problem:
    My Photoshop CS2 doesn't render or save fonts properly anymore. They all look wrong.
    This problem occured a few days ago and it's only when I create Text layers in Photoshop. When I import Illustrator or PDF files I have no problem but those are pixels or shape objects. The other programmes work fine, no problems with fonts there.
    Does anyone know how I can solve this? It's a very big and urgent problem for me as I use Photoshop everyday! Thanks!

    The fonts look pixelated and jagged. Even when I print or save them and open that PSD document on a different computer they look that way. I only experience this problem in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are fine. I work on a MacBook Pro and run Mac OS 10.4.8 on it.
    So far I tried to delete the Font Cache as well as Preferences and did a Repair Disk Permissions. No luck.
    Not sure whether the driver for my scanner (Canon) that I had downloaded and installed might have cause these problems as this problem appeared afterwards.
    I did a search for this problem but couldn't find any other suggestion then to reinstall Photoshop under a new user. Unfortunately I don't really see this as a real solution to the problem.

  • Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

    I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
    Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
    In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
    I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.

  • Font issues with InDesign CC

    I've been happily producing a monthly trade magazine for years with InDesign CS5.5 V 7.5.3. No problems. Last month I started using InDesign CC. First sign of trouble was that, when I sent the proof (pdf made with Acrobat XI Pro), to the client, many of the headlines (Calibri) would only partially print, or wouldn't print at all. Then, when the magazine went to the commercial printer (packaged from InDesign CC and with an IDML), many (not all) of the text (Palatino Linotype) ran together and stories were short, leaving white space. It was a disaster! (Fortunately, the client proofed it before presstime, so they took the blame.) What's the problem here?

    Here it is January 2015 and I have font problems with Adobe CC. Been using apps and Font Book for years without font troubles, and since I started using Adobe CC, every single day I have an issue. Specifically, just now, working in InDesign: I have been using postscript fonts for Franklin Gothic forever. Some of them disappeared from my font list, so when I opened a document using them, they are shaded pink. I found Franklin Gothic URW in typekit and loaded those. Changed all my fonts to fonts from that set, yet I still get error messages. When I open Find Font, I see three FranklinGothic-Medium in the list with yellow warning signs. If I select one, Replace with the comparable in the FranklinGothic URW family, the Change All button is shaded and I can't select it. And then when I try to save as pdf, I get a Font Missing warning. And this has happened with other font families, so not specific to Franklin Gothic.
    So frustrating.

  • Font issues in InDesign CS6

    I downloaded InDesign CS6 through Creative Cloud and am having lots of font problems. If I use any font other than an Adobe font or an Open Type font, I am unable to create an error-free pdf from the InDesign file. I can use True Type or Type 1 fonts in the document, but they won't embed into the pdf file. What gives?

    Well, those fonts may simply not allow embedding. There is such a flag which font creators can set and Adobe apps honor this and do not embhed fonts they are not allowed to.... Anyway, ask in the ID forum and provide more details like what fonts you actualyl use, what system, what PDF settings and so on...

  • InDesign CS2 bundled OpenType fonts

    A listing of the OpenType fonts bundled with InDesign CS2 can be found here:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/Adobe%20Community%20Forums/Typography/1521

    I work in an environment where I create InDesign files on a server and when I finish it is picked up by editors who do text edits on the file. The problem is every time someone opens that file the program asks to relink all the fonts again. We all share the same font package so there's no conflict there, Note: the editors are on PCs. This has us stumped. Any ideas?

  • Lost Indesign CS2 fonts

    Recently I had to have my hard drive cleaned due to a virus. When I re-installed Indesign CS2, many of the fonts that I formerly had are now gone. How can I get the lost fonts back? I am sure that the solution is simple, but since I am a beginner, be precise with any suggestions. I have Windows XP.

    There is no known issue of incompatibility of Type 1 fonts with CS2 on Windows XP.
    You say you "upgraded" your workstation to XP Pro. From what version of Windows did you "upgrade" from? Was that an in-place upgrade or did you totally reformat your system partition and do a "clean install" of Windows XP Pro? Only the latter is recommended, i.e., the "clean install!"
    In general, Adobe strongly discourages "in-place" Windows upgrades, especially from Windows'9x to Windows 2000 or XP. The fact you refer to ATM 4.0 leads me to believe you attempted to do an in-place upgrade. Note that ATM 4.0 is
    not compatible with Windows XP. That may be a major part of the problem. Furthermore, except for support of Multiple Master fonts, you don't need ATM on Windows XP. Finally, Adobe no longer markets or supports ATM Deluxe, although ATM Lite 4.1.1 is available for support of Multiple Master fonts.
    Assuming you did an "in-place" Windows upgrade, our best advice would be to reinstall Windows XP from scratch along with font, applications, etc. on a newly formatted disk partition. That would eliminate many problems that you are likely to experience with an "upgraded" operating system beyond simply loss of support of full and proper operating system support for Type 1 fonts.

  • Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

    Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
    In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
    When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
    If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
    Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

    Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
    Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
    Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

  • Font Installation InDesign CS2

    I purchased an Adobe font, downloaded and tried to install it to use with InDesign
    CS2, Windows XP. I have copied it into the InDesign Font folder, which appears to be empty--no no other visible files--except for the new font I put there. Rebooted InDesign--it still does not recognize the new font. I then went to the Control Panel and tried to add it to the system font folder -- the system tells me there is no font there in the InDesign font folder. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the answer -- did I unzip the file? Yes, I did; however, I only unzipped what I thought was the actual font file, not the other 32 or so files that were also in there. Extracted all, and that did the trick. Thank you!

  • Indesign CS4 - Export to SWF and font issue

    Hello,
    How do you embed a font in an Indesign CS4 document when you are going to export it to an SWF file?
    I have an Indesign CS4 document that uses a particular font.  This document is then exported to an SWF file which is then uploaded in our intranet website.  When users view the internal website, the SWF font uses a different font like Times New Romans.  I do not get this issue because I have the particular font used in that document installed on my machine.
    Are there any work arounds for this issue other than distributing the font used in that exported SWF file?

    InDesign should embedd fonts by default when exported to swf... may be you have some protected font in use? do you have problems with other fonts too? Quick and dirty workaround is convert your text to outlines... not good one but fast...

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • Photoshop/Indesign cs2 install issues

    Ok I just got my first Mac. The PC is six years old and slowly falling apart so I said why not spice it up a bit and get a Mac. Anyways...
    I downloaded the trials of photoshop and indesign cs2 from Adobe. The installer starts and then starts to install, but it just quits after about ten seconds and says "please try installing again" both the photoshop and indesign (and i assume every other adobe install application) do this.
    I read about the Version Cue issues, but that is not installed and that isn't an option in a custom install anyway.
    This is kind of the reason I got the thing. Is a universal version coming out anytime soon?
    Macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    A new UB version of Photoshop is expected @ spring 2007, since Photoshop is part of the Creative Suite, as is InDesign, I'd imagine Adobe will launch a UB Creative Suite around the same time, but when exactly in 2007, only Adobe can say.
    Photoshop CS & CS2 installed without issue on my MBP, have to admit, I bought them on disc and didn't try the trial version - Problem could be the Adobe installer won't work properly under Rosetta on an IntelMac
