Font not recognized in LightRoom

Hello all--
I have loaded a font onto my OS and although Word (etc) recognizes the font, LightRoom does not. Has anyone else come across this issue? Help!
Thanks!

Not all fonts are recognized by Lightroom. Try a different font.

Sony RX1R not recognized by lightroom 5.3. What should I do?

My Sony RX1R is not recognized by lightroom 5.3. In the import window it appears a "no name", and the images on the cam are not recognized. What should I do?

The Sony RX1R was supported beginning with LR 5.0 so LR 5.3 should be ok: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Try taking the card out of your camera and put it in a card reader and then see what happens. If you are already doing this, then try copying the images from the card to your hard-drive using an OS-level function like Windows Explorer or Finder and then import from the HD.
It is possible that there is a Sony driver interfering with the transfer of images directly from the camera to the computer via LR. It is also possible that the images are not being correctly stored on the memory card in the first place so are corrupted before LR touches them—this could be something wrong with the camera or the card.

NIKON D800E files not recognized in lightroom 4.4

my lightroom 4 is up to date (waiting for lightroom 5 to be given to me - apparently they are having ordering issues so may take 24 hrs and i need to finish this project NOW)
why does it not recognize NIKON D800E files? is there a way around this or do i have to wait for my lightroom 5 to be delivered?
getting a message saying 'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom. (517)'
thanks!

That makes sense, especially if the NEFs are also not readable in LR5.
To correct any corruption from using obsolete Nikon software on newer camera NEFs, you can use the utility, here:

PostScript Fonts not recognized in OSX 10.4.3

I recently installed FontExplorer X and noticed that all Postscript fonts are not recognized, not even by Fontbook. I had the same problem on a PC when ATM wasn't installed but OS X should recognize them.
Before this happen, I was also trying to delete the Adobe Illustrator tryout because when you try to install the full version it won't install unless its gone. I had to delete files from several places and I wonder if that had anything to do with this.
One question is, does OS X come preinstalled with ATM (Adobe Type Manager) or does the OS just recognize it natively. I thought maybe I deleted ATM in one of the Adobe folders.
Something else I noticed is the System Postscript fonts are recognized. So its just the ones I have installed on the system.
Thanks in advance for your help.
12" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Sorry, cgriff44. I didn't address some of the questions in your original post. I'll be more specific this time.
I think the problem is a bit deeper than that. OS X isn't recognizing Postscript fonts period. ... I have over 13,000 fonts and not one postscript font works (except the system postscript fonts).
As noted in your first post, you may indeed have thrown something out OS X needs to handle PostScript fonts. It's hard for me to say, of course, since I didn't see what you tossed. But there's a bit of confusion in your statement about the system fonts. If you mean the ones in the OS X /System/Fonts/ folder, then those aren't PostScript fonts at all. They're almost all .dfonts (a TrueType variation). As are all of the fonts in the /Library/Fonts/ folder. If you have OS 9 (Classic) installed, all of the ones installed by default are also TrueType. Albeit, the older Classic variation.
One question is, does OS X come preinstalled with ATM (Adobe Type Manager) or does the OS just recognize it natively.
OS X handles PostScript fonts natively, there is no need for ATM in OS X. Nor does it exist for OS X. However, if you work with PostScript fonts in Classic apps, you do need to install the OS 9 version of ATM.
Since you have so many fonts, I can probably assume you're well aware that the suitcase of screen fonts and printer fonts must be together in the same folder in order for a given PostScript font to work. That they don't seems to point to a fault with the OS. You may have to resort to reinstalling OS X to fix it. If you do, make sure to use the Archive and Install method. Also making sure to turn on the check boxes to preserve your user settings and preferences.

My new Canon 16-35 mm f4 is not recognized by Lightroom 5.6

I used the new lens and I am experiencing the same problem as someone else on this forum posted last month. The lens is not being recognized by Lightroom 5.6 and the distortion is severe... very severe.
Can someone assist me with resolving this problem.
Thank you.

There is a bug in the lens profile that Adobe will fix in a future version that will allow it to be automatically selected when the Lens Setup is set to Auto.
You can, however, make it automatically selected with the Lens Corrections Profile Setup set to Default by selecting up a new photo with that lens, choosing the right lens profile so Setup will say Custom, then clicking on Setup, again, and choosing Save New Lens Profile Defaults. Now whenever Default is selected LR will automatically select your new lens profile defaults, and for other lenses it’ll still do Auto.
What you’ll want to do after saving the new defaults is set LR to use Default as the default value for Setup instead of Auto. TO do this load up a completely new photo with new adjustments, it doesn’t matter what lens, then choose Default for the Lens Corrections Setup value, and press the Alt key and choose Set Default… and Update to Current Settings. From now on, for that camera, LR will have Default for Setup instead of Auto and it’ll pick your custom profile for this particular lens.

Fonts not recognized on a specific port

Hi,
We have a indesign server running as a service on two ports. When we try to process a indesign document on a 18383 port, it says certain fonts not available. But, if the same document is processed through 41000 port, fonts missing error doesn't come up.
On changing the port from 18383 to 42000, it worked fine. Is there any reason for the port not able to find the fonts in the system?
Thanks.

Hello,
Has anyone faced a similar problem before? We need to know the reason for this as if this happens in the future, we should be able to have the solution in hand.
Thanks

Changes in xmp files not recognized n Lightroom

In my workflow i have setup for changes to be made to the xmp files by a program other than lightroom. In the previous version of Lightroom i had tested this, it worked fine. When i made a change to the xmp file, Lightroom recognized the change and displayed/rendered the image appropriately. Now, I am using version 2.2 and this is not happening. I see the option in th Metadat dropdown menu for "Read Metadata from File". If i click this it works. Is there an option for this to automatically happen that i am missing? If there isnt, why not? Also, I have noticed that Lightroom does not automatically write/update the xmp file if that option is enabled when using the develop module. Can anyone help me with this?

Read has never been automatic, and write is automatic but not instantly - it does it when time is available. You can use synchronize instead of read if you want to, but again, it's not automatic.

Typekit fonts not available in Lightroom (and only in Lightroom)

Hi,
I have been a Creative Cloud member (full membership) for quite a while now and just this week I noticed that Typekit fonts I've synced to my computer are available on all the CC apps I use, except for Lightroom.
The fonts are evidently synced correctly (since I can, for instance, use them within Photoshop CC). However, whenever I try to create a new watermark within Lightroom, my Typekit fonts are nowhere to be found.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, latest Creative Cloud desktop app and all my CC software is up to date. I have searched and roamed the web for hours and have not found a single way to solve this issue.
I have already tried to sign out and back in, restart all apps, restart CC desktop, reboot windows, all while being permanently connected to the internet.
Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
Best regards
Javier

Hi Javier,
Thanks you for sending an email to Typekit Support! I have forwarded it to our lead Product Manager, and asked him to look into it the bug report with the Lightroom team. We'll update you again over email once we know more about the bug.
There isn't another workaround to use the fonts from Typekit in your watermark, unfortunately. If there are one of two fonts you really would like to use, you do have the option of purchasing the desktop license from the foundry and installing the font on your computer. Once it is installed, it will be added to all the type menus in Lightroom.
If you'd like to look into that, here are the foundry websites for the two fonts you have synced from Typekit:
Felt Tip Roman - Felt Tip Roman – Mark Simonson
FF Market - FF Market fonts from the FontFont Library
And again, we will follow up in your support email with more information as well. Best,
-- liz

Old fonts not recognized under Leopard

I have a number of old T1 and Mac TrueType fonts that aren't recognized under Leopard. They worked fine under OS X through 10.4, but now are either showing up as type "Unix Executable File" with a generic black executable icon, or as a plain white icon with the type "Document". The files sizes appear to be correct, i.e. the issue is not zero length files. Since the OS doesn't present these files as fonts, font editors don't recognize the files as something they can open, either.
Anyone else running into this problem? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I've seen that thread, and in the end it seems to boil down to being careful when transferring files over a network. That didn't happen to my files, they never moved, and they worked under 10.4 and don't under 10.5.
I have noticed something new, though: the fonts that don't work show a greater-than-zero size in the Finder, but a zero file size when listed under the Terminal, i.e. the command line utility 'ls' shows these files as having a zero length, but the Finder shows the correct size.
So, it looks like a resource-fork-related issue, but it's not a case of a missing resource fork. The Finder sees the correct file size, but no longer recognizes or identifies the files correctly. Weird.
Any suggestions?

Individual fonts not recognized properly when opening a MAC FLA file on PC

I'm getting a missing font warning when opening an FLA file
even though I have all the necessary fonts. The problem is that
while I have MyriadPro-Bold, MyriadPro-BoldIt, MyriadPro-Semibold
on my machine, they only show up in Flash as the Typeface names of
Myriad Pro (first two), and Myriad Pro Light (last one).
I don't want to have to go through an entire file and apply
bold and italics to anywhere they exist, so I'm hoping there is a
way to map these properly. Adobe Type Manager shows all these fonts
properly when I open it, so I don't understand why Adobe's version
of Flash can only see the font family and not the individual fonts.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same problem and can
help me figure this out.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

InDesign CS6 OSX linked fonts not recognized

I am using InDesign CS6 on Mountain Lion and I received a document from a PC InDesign user with a linked AI image and document fonts folder included. When I launch the idd file the fonts are "missing".
OSX does not seem to recognize the font files in the document fonts folder as proper font files. In Finder they appear as Unix executable files..
I've tried disk repair/permissions repair, but neither seems to fix the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Sounds like thy may be Windows Type 1 postscript fonts, in which case you would need to install them (both halves) into ID's private fonts folder.

Fonts not recognized after restore...

Earlier today I had to replace the hard drive in my Mac, and then restored all my files/apps from an external hard drive with Time Machine. The problem I have is that none of my previous fonts are found by any of my applications. When I open Font Book, all my fonts are there...but for example, when I opened Word or Photoshop, no fonts appear in the drop down menus besides the default system fonts.
I double-checked the user>library>fonts folder, and all my fonts are there. What could be causing this???

The hard drive going bad happened very suddenly with no rhyme or reason. It was working perfectly fine one day, and the next day it wouldn't boot up. I brought it into the Apple store and had their Genius Bar take a look and they weren't able to repair the hard drive.
If your last backup was late the day before, it's possible something got corrupted.
Do you get the fonts into those menus by some sort of selection process? If so, you might want to look for their preference files. Look at a backup from earlier in the day, or even a day or two before the failure.
Most likely, there will be a file (or files) in +*<your home folder>/Library/Preferences,+* and/or +*<your home folder>/Library/Application Support+* containing the name of the app, or perhaps the name of the maker, and ending in .plist.
It's also possible they'll be not in your home folder, but the top-level Library/Preferences and/or +*Library/Application Support+* folders.
You might want to start with a Finder window, in List mode, of your home folder, then +Enter Time Machine+ and navigate to the folders in question. When you find something that looks promising, right-click it and take the +Quick Look+ option. If it has something that looks like a list of fonts, that may be the culprit. To restore it, click the Restore button at the bottom right.

Replacing .xmp sidecar files not recognized in Lightroom 3.6- Lr 'Guru' Question Alert!

- I have 'Automatically write changes ino XMP' checked
- I have not moved my catalog or files for years and only continue to add files to my catalog.
ISSUE:
I made some accidental global changes to about 600 .cr2 raw images and to save me time in recovering from each change I made, I closed Lightroom and then deleted the sidecar .xmp files in the folder. I then copied the .xmp files from a backup created and then launched Lightroom again- there was no indication that the metadata had been changed and thought that was odd. I right-clicked on the folder and slected 'Synchronize Folder' and the only option was 'scan for metadata updates' so I tried to synchronize from there- still no changes made to the image previews. The Metadata -> Sync Metadata option was grayed-out so that wasn't an option either.
What I finally had to do was highlight all the files in the Library module and select Photo -> Read Metadata From Files and ONLY after that did the previews update and read from the newly imported .xmp files.
So, my question is WHY did Lightroom not see that the .xmp files were changed as I have experienced in the past?

I would have done Read Metadata from Files as my first choice.
From what you say, the LR metadata data was newer than the XMP metadata date and LR’s metadata updated date was newer than the XMP file-modification date so why would LR overwrite its newer metadata with older XMP metadata with a Synchronize? It might have worked the way you wanted if you had changed the file-modification date to be something current, by using a “touch” command or editing the contents of the XMP files, but LR seems to have done the right thing by not updating its internal metadata from and older XMP file using Synchronize and requiring an explicit command to do so.
It used to be impossible to update XMP files to the current set of edits if LR thought the metadata was current even if you explicitly commanded it to Write Metadata to Files, so Adobe has made adjustments to how LR and sidecars work together.
If LR used to revert edits based on older XMP sidecar files, that sounds wrong, and probably Adobe has fixed things to work in a more safe manner.
Do you remember if you saw an ! on the thumbnails indicating a metadata conflict or was LR completely unaware that the XMP files had been reverted to an earlier copy?

Canon 7d mark ii gps data not recognized in lightroom 5.7

How do I get lightroom to find and use my gps meta data from my new Canon 7d mark ii. I can see that there is a file generated on the card but it isn't in my meta data when downloaded on to Lightroom. I am using a MAC user. When using my old Pentax system with geo tagging to came across automatically in older versions of Lightroom so I know it should be seamless.

Once the GPS indicator is solid the camera should be embedded the GPS data in the photos. There is no need to offload the GPX track log and have LR use that. If that's what you're doing, maybe LR does have a problem reading the Canon 7D Mark II GPX log file, but there's no need, just let LR import the photos with the coordinates stored in the photo files.
Otherwise, are you using some software (including LR) to transfer the photos from the camera or card, that could be stripping out the GPS data? I use Windows Explorer (like Mac Finder) to copy my photos so nothing is stripping anything out of them.
Have you examined the photos with any other software to see if there are coordinates? On Windows I'd use GeoSetter. I don't know what the Mac has.
If you want someone to test, can you upload a raw file that was shot when the GPS indicator was on but not blinking, directly from the card to somewhere like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download/share link to it, here?

Fonts not recognized in Dreamweaver

I have purchased and downloaded Linotype fonts from fonts.com (webfonts) and installed the TTF on my system for mocking up and building out websites. The fonts display in the font list and work just fine in Photoshop and Illustrator, but when I move on to Dreamweaver they are unavaliable to be added through the CSS "edit font list...". I have also attempted to add the TTF file as a webfont which does allow it to be added to "edit font list..." but still it will not display as a style in Dreamweaver CS6 layout view. Also I did attempt to look into the Adobe Webfonts but they do not offer Univers Condensed which is the font group I need for a large corporate website. There are actually serveral fonts that I've run in to this issue with, they display and work fine in Photoshop but not in Dreamweaver. Is there a solution for this or is it just a major flaw in Dreamweaver?

Hi
You have to use live view to preview web-fonts.
Font usage on the web is not the same as in a graphics program, normally unless the user also has the font installed the web page will not display the font, (this is why Dw does not show the font outside of live view).
It is also becoming possible to 'block' downloadable fonts from downloading, as users, (especially mobile devices) do not wish to use the extra bandwidth they cost. Downloadable fonts that use javascript, such as Edge or Goggle fonts, only require javascript to be disabled for them not to 'show', (javascript disabling is becoming common practice for many corporations/company's that allow employees to 'surf' the web).
