Font issues on PC and MAC...

Hi,
I have created a simple flash movie that appears in a pop up
box from the main site. Anyway the flash movie contains text
(dynamic) and i have had to make 20 different versions so kept the
text as text.... This works fine on pc but when viewed on a mac the
text reverts to times or some other san serif font......
So my question is:
Is there a way that at the end of making the swf you can
convert all text to symbol - tell me there's one function i can do
that will do this and i don't have to go through every swf and
change them by hand.
Is this because i am using dynamic text? Would this still be
the case if i changed the text to be static in the first place.
Thanks for your help

If the size of the component is critical, then you can over-ride the component's paint method (e.g. in a subclass) to scale the component's font to fit the component. I would only do this once, otherwise you'd be repeating the operation on every paint - use a "fontScaled" instance variable, for example.

Font issue between PC and Mac. Options?

Hi.
I have been working for several months on a book that I have designed in InDesign. I was using the PC version of InDesign. I just purchased a new Macbook, and I am now beginning with a trial of InDesign for Mac.
As soon as I tried to imported my .indd file into InDesign on my Mac, I encountered an issue with fonts. Most of the fonts that I had used in my design do not work on the Mac version. InDesign gave me the option to 'Change' to comparable fonts. I figured I would try to see how I can adjust the manuscript and make this work. I immediately encountered other issues (for e.g., Minion Pro is a font that I did manage to use with InDesign in Mac, but it would not let me use the Italics version of Minion Pro. It is important that a number of elements in my book be italics, so I need to have a font that offers the distinction (and ideally, would not make me go back in manually and re-italicize everything.)
I spend about an hour or two researching this issue today. It seems there are a few options (including purchasing/downloading fonts and a few different software programs that handle that.) I would just like advice from those who navigated this issue on my best option/s.
Specifically these are the fonts from my original design on my PC that are missing on the Mac version.
Adobe Caslon Pro
Adobe Caston Pro Bold
Adobe Caslon Pro Italic
Adobe Devangari Italic
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro Bold
Adobe Garamond Pro Italic
Constantia
Constantina Italic
Minion Pro Bold Cond
Minion Pro Italic
Palatino Linotype
Palatino Linotype Italic
If there is a free way to obtain these fonts and use them, that would be nice. If I do obtain, or use replacements files that Mac supports, I forsee another issue: I may very well encounter the same issue down the line when I try to open my design on a PC, or if I send to the printer, and they use a PC. What about cross platform fonts that are supported by different system?
Any advice on how to move forward would be appreciated.

The first respondent indicated that when the design is made into a PDF, then the fonts are embedded and visible across platforms. Are there any situations I should be aware of in which this isn't the case? If that statement is true or generally true, that is good news, and will make me feel a lot more OK about this process.
I Googled "fonts that cannot be embedded in pdf" and these are the top 3 results:

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.

Issue with EVC and MAC learning

Hi,
I have a testing scenario that seems no to work and I don't find eny clue.
On switch 3800-B I have configured this two ports. To the port 0/8 I have connected a host with IP address and MAC f0f7.55cf.6201.
interface GigabitEthernet0/8
switchport access vlan 20
end
interface GigabitEthernet0/7
switchport trunk allowed vlan none
switchport mode trunk
service instance 1 ethernet
encapsulation dot1q 10 second-dot1q 11
rewrite ingress tag pop 2 symmetric
bridge-domain 20
Then I connect the interface 0/7 of this switch to the switch 3800-A to port 0/8. Port is configured as follows.
bridge-domain 15 interface GigabitEthernet0/8
switchport trunk allowed vlan none
switchport mode trunk
service instance 1 ethernet
encapsulation dot1q 1-4094 second-dot1q 1-4094
bridge-domain 15
The connectivity is going further, but issue is happening here.
I see MAC adress of the host on the 3800-B Gi0/8,
20 f0f7.55cf.6201 DYNAMIC Gi0/8
but I do not see this MAC at the port and service instance on the switch 3800-A ??
Do I have missed something or there is any issue with double tagging on this platform ?
I appreciate quick response and thanks for any hint.
Metod

Hi Waris,
the whole configuration consists of some other links and connections, so I might have had a loop somewhere. I completelly changed the design and it works.
Thank you for your engagement and best regards.

Font issue with Chrome and office and PDF's ect...

Hi
I went to restore my mac fonts in the "Font book" app as it was taking a while to load up fonts when I wanted to change a font in word and since doing that programs such as word have been playing up especially when I use the equation editor. I've also noticed that google chrome has issues displaying PDF's correct.
They show up like this
http://i.gyazo.com/6e702416d076ed13ed881f6bbd2a7949.png
On word, the equation editor is now blank.
Also, my document looks like this before clicking "insert new equation"
http://gyazo.com/c4391dee5a2b0bf32f86130d88556986
After I insert a new equation the whole document turns like this
http://gyazo.com/d4b2514eb7c039bfe8eda7b486c2f637
If it means anything these programs were running when I restored the font book and have not restarted my macbook pro.

Font problems between Word and MAC

I used MS Word on Windows PC and created lot of documents using TSCu Inaimathi tamil font. When I open those files in my MAC, its all weird characters. How do i fix this? Also, when I create new files in MAC, using the same font, I can read it in Windows.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

When I
open those files in my MAC, its all weird characters.
There could be two issues:
If the text is Unicode, then MS Word for Mac can't handle it (MS Mac products can't do any Unicode Indic script yet). Try opening the doc with TextEdit instead.
If the text is not Unicode, but TSCII encoding, then you must install the exact font that produced it on your Mac. OS X only includes Unicode fonts, not old legacy encodings.
All Tamil produced on OS X with the Inamathi font that comes with it will be Unicode and should be readable in Word 2004 OK.

Default font issue in Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks.

I'm using Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks. When I copy Chinese text into a Word document, Word for some reason assigns it a Japanese font (MS 明朝). When I try to switch between English and Chinese input methods (command + space), the system constantly defaults to Japanese input. This can even happen if I save the entire document (command + A) in Chinese font (宋体). Where can I change this behaviour? I've looked in Word Preferences and System Preferences but can find nothing.
Notes:
a. This behaviour is not just a Word problem. It never happened in OS 10.6.
b. Please don't tell me to just close the Japanese IME because I also use Japanese.

Apple preferences are kind of irrelevant for Word. The place to look for Tools > Language is in the Word menu itself. And the keyboard/font matching box is in Word preferences/Edit/Editing Options.

Icloud document sync issue between ipad and mac

So was very excited when mountain lion could sync my spreadsheets (numbers) documents with my iPad, but having a weird issue (I think).
So I took one of my spreadsheets from my Mac, and moved to iCloud. Opened it up in Numbers (Mac), made a few changes, and saved it.
Now I go on my iPad, I see it. I open it up - great.
Now for some reason, I have a duplicate spreadsheets named 'Untitled'. I have no idea how it got there, I am not sure what happens if I delete it (or if I should).
Anybody know whats up with this?
Thanks -

When you place a document into iCloud from your Mac and then try to open it on a mobile device, you will be given the option of opening the original document or opening a copy. It sounds to me that you have chosen to open a copy.

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.

Helvetica font problems with DW and Mac OS 10.5

wondering if anyone else has seen this, just upgraded to 10.5
and DW (CS3) doesn't seem to be able to access system-wide
Helvetica fonts. I get odd symbols that require the page to be
encoded in Unicode, but odd symbols still show up, and I can't get
rid of them, even by trying to eliminate them in code view. Even if
I use Arial as default font, DW's inability to access Helvetica
seems to be introducing the symbol problems. I also use Suitcase
Fusion, and they recommend switching Apple's Helvetica.dfont with
Postscript version of Helvetica, since not all apps can access the
.dfont. Since this is a system-wide font that has it's own issues.
Searched help and these forums but didn't see anything about this
online. If anyone has any tips let me know. thanks.

If it happens in a new user you may be able to repair this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Font issues in Safari and mail

I'm experiencing some annoying font display issues. At least I'm pretty sure it's font related. In Safari there are some pages that add about 5 or 6 blank lines under test causing the page to be very spread out. In Mail this is also happening with RSS messages and the message count next to the mailbox. It's not a life threatening issue, just a very annoying one.
Anyone know of a way to fix this? I have tried going into Mail preferences>fonts & colours>mailbox fonts and i can change the fonts and so on, but can't remove the space below the fonts. One annoying part of all of this is it's causing the message count highlight (the little circle around the message count to be this huge balloon). I have a screen cap, but couldn't find anywhere to post it here.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I've uploaded a screen cap to give you an example of what's going on. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Font issues with ATM and new O/S install

I have had to reformat my h/d and now have issues with fonts. I see that I have several different versions of Minion and Myriad installed on my PC, when viewing through both the windows font manager and ATM, yet these same versions are not availble to me when I am in Pagemaker or Word. I suspect it has to do with Multiple Masters but I am unsure how to fix the problem. Any ideas?

Multiple master fonts can still be happily used with XP, but Vista doesn't support them or ATM (which is needed to use them). (There is apparently a workround to install MM fonts on Vista, but I haven't read much about it.)
Anyway, have you installed the multiple master fonts? You've listed the OpenType versions but don't say if you've installed the MM versions. If you haven't, you'll get substitution in files originally created with those fonts. If you have, you still may not have created the specific custom instances used in the files, in which case you'll have to use ATM to create those instances.

Data DVD compatability issues between PC and Mac

I own a macbook g4 12" 1.5ghz and have recently created over 30 data file based dvds using disk utility and dvd-r's speeds 1-16 and 1-8 phillips brand.
When I put these dvd's in a pc the drives do not recognize the dvd's or anything being in the drive. I have tried these dvd's on 5 different pc's all with either dvd burners or roms.
When I put the dvd in the mac it recognizes the dvd and the files.
I found this to happen with 2 other macs in which I have used to burn dvd's (they do not show up when in a pc).
What can I do to view these data dvd's on any pc?
Thanks
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try this instead.
In the Finder select File --> New Burn Folder. Drag your files into this folder and then click the Burn button while its window is open. This should make an ISO 9660 format disk that can be read by both Macs and Windows machines.
Hope this helps! bill

All computers up and running the latest update of Yosemite at 10.10.1
iMac - mid 2007, everything works fine between phone and computer
Macbook - Air - same, everything works fine
iMac - late 2009 - All system preferences are set exactly like the other to Macs, but:
SMS messages won't function properly. All non-message contacts appear with a red background, while on the other two systems, they appear with a green background...
When I text from the phone (which is sitting right next to the computer), the text appears on the Mac, but the contact is still in red (not green) and will say can't send to this contact because it's not iMessage, when I try to reply to it on the Mac.
I hope I was clear and would appreciate any help, thanks.
