Font name different on another computer

We have a font that InDesign CS3 is seeing as a different name on just one of four computers. In other words, 3 computers see the name as "My TNTFont" but that one computer is seeing it as "My TNT Font."
This is a font we created so the name could have changed at some point since it was used on the troublesome computer. I tried deleting all those silly .lst files that Adobe puts all over the place but to no avail.
Is there some other place where a list of font is being kept or some other thing that InD is reading?
Thanks for the help,
Ken

Well, I found a work around but, alas, Adobe has defeated/deflated me by hiding something, somewhere in which a font name is associated with a font FILEname.
I decided had to rename ANOTHER font and had the same issues. I was UNABLE to get InDesign to display the new font names (it was a family). I deleted every adobefnt*.lst file I could find as well as the c:\Windows\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT (hoping against hope) but to no avail. InDesign was still showing the old font names.
Wondering WHAT InD could be looking at, I renamed the font FILE and reloaded the new fonts, opened InDesign, used those fonts (which now showed the correct names!!!) and closed InDesgin. Loading the fonts from a different location did NOT do it, I had to rename the font file. After closing InD, unloading the renamed font files and reloading the original font files, InD saw the names as correct.
So, somewhere, somehow InD associates font names, with a font FILEnames.
Just rediculous.
All the best and thanks for the help.

  • Can my AI documents look different on another computer?

    Hello, everybody.
    I made some very simple forms for a woman, consisting of nothing but lines and text on a page, that wound up looking like a grid with text. Each one was perfectly centered on its own page. I sent them to her as pdf files. Before sending them (email) I checked each one in AI to be sure the pdf looked as good as the ai file. She took them to Office Depot to be printed, and they came out very off-center. The OD employee told her it was because of "differences between computers," and she suggested I make them off-center to compensate.
    I thought the very purpose of pdf was to make sure that files would look the exact same regardless of the computer they were viewed on. Am I wrong about that?
    Thanks

    Thank you, Karen. Will you marry me? : )
    Because... I had a pdf document of my own printed at the same OD a couple weeks ago. The employee at that time didn't know how to properly print a pdf and someone else had to show her how. But when I told my "client" about that, she just blew it off and said the employee had assured her I was the problem.
    Incidentally, back to my original question about the "differences in computers," aren't pdf files supposed to be exactly the same regardless of what computer they're viewed on?
    Thanks again for your help, it was very nice of you to do that.

    Help! CC cloud name different to App on computer, new app fails to open on Mac 10.3.3Keeps saying it is up to date, but won't work

    ok...i'm not sure how at all...but, a couple hours have passed since i posted this and while i was hoping someone would reply i was finishing up some old work on my old, extremely slow emac. anyways, i decided to go ahead and try to install leopard again from the normal standard method. (which is just clicking the icon once the leopard install window comes up). Guess what? now it's 50% into the installation!! i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch...especially after some of the discussions i've read about leopard so far...but, i'm hopeful
    who knows how...i'm clueless and it doesn't make much sense to me. but, i'll come back and let anyone who cares know how the install went.
    note for anyone with similar problems:
    another strange fix to the 'leopard dvd ejecting on install' is to let the dvd chill in the drive for a couple hours...then try it again. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! worked for me

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

  • Initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    When I set up Adobe reader on my computer to be able to download books from a library and then transfer to my Nook e-reader, I initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
    Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
    Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
    Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
    Launch the browser and open the PDF.
    Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances  should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
    On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
    Perform your steps to cause the crash.
    Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
    Thanks in advance for all your help

  • How do I move my iTunes account to another user name on the SAME computer?

    Hi,
    My kid was the first in my family to get an iPod. When we created her account, since she is young, I put it on my laptop under my user name. Months later, I decided to get an iPod and when I went to set up an account, it wouldn't let me. My neice told me that I had to set up a new user name account on my computer for the new itunes account. I did this, but now I find that this is TOTALLY inconvenient. My computing is done under one user name and, yet, to sync my iPod I have to log out of all of that and go into the other user name. I HATE this -- had I realised this would be such a pain in the neck, I never would have set up my daughter's account under my user name. Is there a way that I can move my itunes account to MY user name and move my daughter's to the other? Can I have them both under one user name? Thanks for any help/advice

    Welcome to AD!
    Each windows user has an itunes database file that has ratings, playcounts, etc.
    It is named iTunesLibrary.itl
    So in addition to putting the music in a shared location as Neil suggests, you need to swap your ITL files from each account.
    Here is a good background article on that, you are using method 1. My advice is to stay far away from method 3, it's too easy to forget which ITL file itunes last used.
    You could also switch to method 2. I used that for several years until my husband started using iTunes and I did not want his play counts in my library.

  • HT4914 Can I store music in the cloud using iTunes Match from another computer with a different Apple ID?

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    You can't transfer music (nor any other content) from one account to another account, it will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. Also home sharing only works from a computer to a device (or to another computer), it doesn't work between iOS devices.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then he could potentially log into your account on his iPod (I assume that it's an iPod Touch) and redownload his music on it, but that might tie his iPod to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

  • Debugging in a dll on another computer, in another folder.

    Hi,
    I have a dll which was produced with VisualStudio2008, as console app. I have on that PC (let's say DevPC ):
    C:\DevLoc\IntAd.cpp (dll source file)
    C:\DevLoc\IntAd.dll
    C:\DevLoc\IntAd.pdb (symbol file)
    This dll is used also on another computer (let's say AppPC), in another folder (let's say AppLoc). In order to be able to debug in the dll on AppPC using VisualStudio I had to put there also the pdb file (but in original folder) and the source file in
    the AppLoc so I have there:
    C:\AppLoc\IntAd.dll
    C:\AppLoc\IntAd.cpp
    C:\DevLoc\IntAd.pdb
    This works but then if put on AppPC the source file also in the original location (so I have it in both) like:
    C:\DevLoc\IntAd.cpp
    the debugger will prefer this one, will enter this one at run time. Strangely, VisualStudio debugger is "smart" (with or without quotes) enough that if I open C:\AppLoc\IntAd.cpp and try to put at run time a breakpoint inside, will automatically
    open C:\DevLoc\IntAd.cpp and put the breakpoint there. The problem is that the two source file(s) might be different versions.
    Now come the questions and they might seem like XY questions but I'm interested what options I have and how each one can be achieved:
    1) What can I do so in the IntAd.dll is embedded not absolute but relative path to the IntAd.pdb so I can put the symbol file in the same folder as the dll file?
    2) How can I modify IntAd.dll (I mean really to edit the dll file) to change the pdb path embedded in it? This way I could put the pdb in whatever folder I want on the AppPC. A dirty solution I thought was to edit the file and to change the pdb path and
    to pad with trailing spaces that pdb fully qualified name to match the original name length. This, of course, assuming that new name is shorter than original name (to ensure that, on DevPC I should chose a ridiculous long directory name). Would this work?
    3) Why is C:\DevLoc\IntAd.cpp prefered by debugger instead C:\AppLoc\IntAd.cpp if both exists? What can I do against?
    Thanks

    @  MaybeCompletelyW: If I set the symbol path, this means that also on DevPC that path will be used, is still a fixed path. The thing is that I need a portable package, so I can deploy the three files (cpp, dll, pdb) in the same folder, whichever
    it is. The problem is that the dll is deployed on several AppPC's, on each one in another folder, on each one could be another version and I need to be able to debug in the dll on each AppPC without rebuilding the dll there. I thought about setting symbol
    path like $(PathFromSysVar)\IntAd.pdb but it seems to me that in dll file the path is still explicit and full.

  • Publish iweb from another computer what am I doing wrong?

    I am really struggling here, can someone please explain my problem to me....
    I have two mac laptops with iweb. I asked about publishing my backed up blog on the 2nd mac in case number 1 mac crashes. here was my question...
    how does the new computer know where to publish your site to... is the address in the backup file from the primary computer? if not how do you tell iweb on the second computer where to publish the primary computers site. Bobbie j.
    I followed these instructions from helpers here
    Copy the Domain file to another computer, but not to the default location, and then double-click the Domain file.
    ok I did that but it wants to publish to the number 2 macs iweb address since i'm on that computer so then i was told the following
    It doesn't know where to publish your site, which is why you need to be logged into your Mobile Me account before publishing. All you do is log in and publish and all sites are published to iDisk.
    so I logged into my m. me account and then double clicked on the backup file in finder (flash usb memory backup) and iweb opens with the correct backed up site but it published it to the number 2 computers default iweb site (overwriting its own site with number 1 comp. site) even tho I had logged in to number one comp. iweb account. it was even open as a page under iweb page. help.
    I get how to move my backup web file to a secondary computer but still can't get it to publish to number ones site. what am i missing please, it can't be this hard.
    bobbie j.

    Firstly, iWeb is the tool that you use to create your web site or blog in your case. iWeb does not have any accounts. It is MobileMe that has the accounts and you log into your MMe account and then click publish within iWeb and your site is published through MMe to your iDisk - this is your host. If you publish to MMe, then all your sites and blog are published to your iDisk.
    How many blogs do you want 1 or 2?
    How many mobile me account do you have 1 or 2?
    If you want two separate blogs on two computers, then to be able to publish separately you would need to change the names within iWeb at the top on the left hand side and then publish blog 1 and blog 2 separately. All MMe hosted sites will have the url web.me.com/username/sitename, so either site1 or site2.
    I thought your question was asking how you can update your blog using two computers? If you want the same blog then you can just update from either and then publish. If you want different blog names, then call them blog 1 and 2 and publish.
    Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to have 2 totally separate MobileMe accounts, 1 for each computer, so that you can log into each MMe account on each computer and keep your blog totally separate - in this case with two MMe accounts you would publish to two iDisks, so you have blog 1 on computer 1 and blog 2 on computer 2, each with their own MMe account.

  • I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

    I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
    I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

    Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
    If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
    If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

    First of all you should have the network connection between the system with enough Access Right without of probing for user name every time you do Access. As we don't which OS you are using.
    Mutliplexing ;-
    Shutdown
    Copy the Control to the Required destination
    Rename the file appopriately.
    Add the path and new control file in the initialization file.
    startup.
    But I could not able to what is the use of multiplexing on different systems, as moragan you do it on Single Server but different Drives, that makes life easier.
