Font not appearing as it should

Hi all!
I am currently working on an Arabic project and within it I am using a Nastaliq font [a sort of persian typeface]. In Microsoft Word, the font is perfect. It appears as it should be with all of the correct kashidas [extensions within Arabic wording to adorn the calligraphy], and other components. It appears beautifully. However, when I try to use the same font in InDesign [CS5 ME], the font has brakes between it and the words are not fluid, meaning they are not joining together correctly.
If anyone can advise me on this matter, I would be grateful!
Thanks

I have no idea what I'm talking about so if this isn't relevant please don't blast me.
With the type selected go to the Character palette, select the down arrow to reveal options, go to Open Type and in that pop out menu deselect "Contextual Alternates"
Does this fix your issue? If so, I have another clue to my issue. If not, I apologize for wasting your time.

Activated fonts not appearing in Illustrator?

I'm running Illustrator CS on a Dual PPC G5 running OS 10.3.9. I have an OpenType font active (using Linotype FontExplorer to manage fonts) and can use the font in all programs except the Adobe ones (Illustrator and Photoshop). Why would the font not appear there? I need it for a logo that I have to manipulate into a vector graphic, but I can't do anything if it won't appear in the type menu. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

Christine,
Did you by any chance create the fonts yourself? OpenType fonts shouldn't cause any more trouble than Type 1 if they are correctly made and named.
If their names show up incorrectly or if they don't show up at all, it's probably because someone did something wrong in Font Info when he was making the font. If you make use of the Build Names thingummy in FontLab Studio it can save you a lot of this kind of trouble. I have done quite a bit of this kind of work - adding Icelandic characters to fonts and that sort of thing - and find that it's absolutely essential to do things right if you want to avoid problems in FontExplorer.
It can sometimes happen too that fonts are made specifically for Windows, in which case they may need to be edited and re-saved for Mac before you can use them so that they work perfectly. You can often get a Windows font to work well on a Mac but you should keep your eyes open for glitches all the same.
And another thing, you may occasionally need to restart Illy when you've made changes to fonts in FontExplorer. This doesn't happen often these days but still crops up occasionally all the same.

Fonts not appearing in CC, but are shown in CS5.5

I'm having an issue where fonts are not appearing in CC, when they are active in CS5.5. There's even fonts which do show up in CC but not all the weights.
For example: ITC Lubalin Graph. It has several weights. All appear in CS5.5 but only 'book' in CC. so that can't be a format issue can it? (TT vs PS or OT)
It's making the transition to CC frustrating and I'm spending more time working in CS5.5 than I should, as the fonts work there fine.

Don't seem to be any takers, so I'll ask the next obvious question... can these fonts be seen and used in other Mac, NON ADOBE apps like Word (or anything else which allows you to pick fonts on screen)?

Fonts not appearing in CS3 program font lists

Certain postscript fonts (ZapfDingbats and Rubino Sans) are correctly installed in Windows 7 and available to Microsoft programs (Word and Excel) but not to Adobe programs. That is, they do not appear in any of the CS3 Design Standard applications (PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator) font lists when the application is open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the fonts and CS3 to no avail. I have added shortcuts to the Common Files/Adobe/Fonts directory to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I assume by PostScript fonts you really mean Type 1 fonts. (TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much "PostScript fonts" as Type 1 fonts are!)
There is a known problem with the CS3 applications with all Type 1 fonts under all Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions when such fonts are installed in the Windows System Font directory. The problem is fixed in CS4.
The workaround is to copy all the Type 1 font files (both the .PFB and the .PFM files - each Type 1 font has one .PFB and one .PFM file) to the Creative Suite's private font directory. Depending upon the CS version, that may be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Restart the Creative Suite programs you are using and the fonts should appear.
You may also copy said fonts into the private font directories of the individual applications (typically a directory path ending with the node name Fonts.

Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152

Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
Safari 5.1
Firefox 6.0.2
I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?

I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
Here is the complete code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
if (useDeviceFont) {
          var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
          format.font = "_sans";
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
          myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
Safari 5.1.1

I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player.

Font not appearing on PDF Output

Hi,
We are creating a XSL-FO report in Oracle Applications R12 which uses a special font. I installed the font using XML Publisher Administrator and I can see the font when I click on Preview on the template. But when the report is run from Applications, the same font does not appear. I will really apreciate if anyone can provide a solution to me for this.
Thanks

Hi Abhishek
When you say XSLFO template do you mean an RTF template or an XSLFO template?
Where are you previewing the template successfully and to what frmat?

Certain installed fonts not appearing in flash

This has become a pretty frustrating experience. I'm running
XP and have installed 6 .otf fonts, from the Avenir family. Flash
MX 2004 and Flash 8 don't see all but the Light and Roman versions
of the font (they are the only ones that appear in the font menu).
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop display all the fonts, however.
An associate suggested that sometimes Flash doesn't like the
names to be non-standard; in other words, it doesn't like "Heavy",
but prefers "Bold", etc. This seems to support the fonts not being
displayed in the Flash font menu, as they are
AvenirLTStd-Heavy.otf, AvenirLTStd-HeavyOblique.otf,
AvenirLTStd-LightOblique.otf and AvenirLTStd-Oblique.otf. The only
two being displayed in the font menu are AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf and
AvenirLTStd-Light.otf ("Roman" and "Light" are pretty traditional
names).
I've tried renaming the fonts to "Bold" and "italic", etc.,
but Windows still sees the original names. I've tried opening the
fonts in Notepad and changing all references (for example, all
"Heavy" to "bold"), but saving the font file (even if I add and
remove a space) makes it unreadable as a font (security issues, I
think).
One reason I think it's a naming issue, is I did try renaming
Heavy to Roman, and installed it, and Flash saw it as Roman, but it
had the Heavy characteristic. This work-around doesn't work,
however, as I need Roman, too (and renaming it Roman2 doesn't
work).
Is there any solution for this? I need access to all of the
Avenir font family, as it's for a branded project that uses Avenir
specifically.
Oh, and last but not least, I have the fonts installed on my
Mac, and Flash 8 and CS3 both see all the fonts, no problem.

It has nothing to do with font name itself. Also, by the way,
font being a system component,
can't be easily renamed in NotePad. You will need dedicated
font editing tool like Macromedia's
Fontographer.
Anyway, Flash simply does not support some fonts and font's
families. Unlike Other tools you brought
up, Flash is vector based and not catered to handle all kind
of fonts, but specific groups only. In
fact if you deal with more applications, you will realize
that it's a common issue. CorelDraw supports
literally any font, half of which won't never shop up in
Photoshop, then these that show up in photoshop,
half of it won't show up in Flash, and so on. You just can't
use all the fonts and it won't matter
whatever you change their names. It's all about the font and
its outlines and the way it is made.

Fonts Not appearing in swf file

When I compile my swf file from flash, the dynamic text
fields disappear completely.
I know this sounds like a n00b problem, but I've done dynamic
text a million times. I've never had this happen. I'm embedding the
characters from the fonts in the preferences for the text field.
I've manually written the characters I want to embed as well to try
and override the character selector in flash. I've reinstalled
flash. I've reduced the number of fonts loaded in my system. I've
changed the font to other types to see if it's an issue with the
font. I've tried to toggle display as html and selectability. None
of this makes a difference. I've also ensured that my variables are
loading properly (list variables in the debug pulldown on export)
so there should actually be something to load.
As a test, I tried to break apart my text. As with all text,
you need to break it twice to render the text as a bitmap. On the
second break, the text disappears. This should not happen either.
This tells me that flash, though it's obviously getting the
vector information for the fonts so it can display them properly,
some level of the application isn't getting the information to
render it when I either export the file or when I try to break
apart my text.
Sounds like a permissioning issue.... so I fixed permissions
on my mac. Still have the problem.
Here's a link to the file in the wild. If you want a link to
the xml file, let me know. I'm getting the data from it, so it
really shouldn't be the issue. There should be a large number in
the price area of the first order option, and all options should
have text in the burgundy rounded corner box at the bottom.

I'm developing on a PowerMac G5 2.0 completely patched to OS
10.4.8.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this. Any thoughts?

I never did figure out what the problem was. I sucked it up
and exported it as a flash 7 swf. Thankfully I wasn't using
anything from flash 8 in that particular instance.
I have since embedded fonts in flash 8 files with much
success. All of it for programatically set (AS) dynamic text.
I'd be more than happy to try and help identify common
variables (perhaps typefaces used, etc) with you to figure out what
combination of things makes this bug appear. But other than that,
unless you're using specific code from flash 8 or some of the new
effects, I'd suggest rendering it in 7.
Good luck, and PLEASE do let us know if you ever get a
resolution.
Happy new year!

Font not appearing in illustrator

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! I have downloaded the free font Baveuse and installed it in my Font Book .. using a Mac, 10.8.2. Font appears in photoshop but not illustrator. I have validated the font, shut down illustrator, shut down the computer but the font remains not available within illustrator. I also have Baveuse 3d in my font library and both the 3d and normal baveuse show in Ps cs6 .. weird!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In reading the forum, the only two suggestions I have read for when Illy doesn't see fonts is to either delete the font cache(s) and or delete the preferences.
Both those suggestions are in the following thread. It should move to post #14 by Wade which concerns the prefs, then the following post #15 by Nini on the font cache issue.
I have zero idea if either works as I have not ever needed to do either.

New fonts not appearing in Pages

I downloaded and copied some true type fonts into the /Library/Fonts folder, however these fonts aren't showing up in Pages (and Keynote, too). Adding them to ~/Library/Fonts didn't work. Just in case, I repaired disk permissions, but they still aren't appearing. The fonts are showing up in the list of fonts in Word, however. Does anyone have any insights on this issue? I'm using Pages 1.0.2. Thanks.

I was going to reply earlier, but I didn't have a chance to play with my computer to figure things out.
I still haven't had time to do so, so forgive me if this is incorrect.
Fontbook is a program which Tiger and (I believe) Panther have for handling fonts. By dragging fonts into the folders manually they may not actually be 'activated' in the system still.
Open Fontbook from your applications folder and see if the fonts show up there. As an aside, double clicking the font in the finder should also give you a small thumbnail of what it looks like and the option to install it. If you don't see anything in the thumbnail, it is rather pointless to install it.
(I will agree with everyone who states that Fontbook is quirky, I know it is. I still haven't found an easier way to install fonts than just doubleclicking on the font file. So much easier than browsing to several obscure folders.)

Type 1 Fonts not appearing in CS6 apps

I'm running CS6 on a windows 7 machine. I'm using Extensis Suitcase 11 for WIndows (I know, I know, its old). I have both Type 1 fonts and Open Type fonts installed. The Open Type fonts appear on all apps including other windows apps such as Office. The Type 1 fonts appear in all other apps EXCEPT CS6 apps (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.). I've tried clearing out both the system cache as well as the Adobe cache and I've also cleared the font vault. After doing all that and restarting, the problem was fixed...or so I thought. After logging out at the end of the day and logging back in today, the problem is back. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Is it the Suitcase 11 app that might be causing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Actually there was a known bug in the CS3 applications (but not in the CS4 versions of the same applications) whereby Type 1 fonts installed in the standard Windows font directory (nominally C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\ ) do not show up in the CS application font menus for both Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions. You have two workarounds:
(1)     Upgrade to CS4 (or very soon, CS5) and the problem does not occur.
(2)     Install a copy of the .PFB and .PFM files in the private font directory of the CS3 applications.
