You have downloaded Adobe Reader X; did you also install it?
There was a similar issue recently with the Japanese font pack; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1012683 - I am not quite sure how it was resolved...

  • Having issues with created PDFs requiring Japanese language font pack when they should not

    Last week, I created 3 forms for someone. They wanted a fourth, so I put that together today, but halfway through making it, my Livecycle crashed and refused to load up again (I have NO idea why...), so I reinstalled it. I went on to finish making the form, but for some reason, even though the language settings is set to English and not viewer's default locale, the form requires a Japanese font pack. My computer is set to Japanese locale, but with the default language set to English, it should bypass this. The oddest thing is that one of the 3 forms that I already created and sent to them (and worked fine!!!), now also asks me for Japanese language font packs. What the heck is going on?
    The forms use nothing other than Myriad Pro, which is set to be embedded. My Acrobat opens them all just fine and shows font properties correctly, but my Reader dies and asks for Japanese font packs. Please help, thank you!

    This is a link to one of the 2 forms that is giving me trouble. It's simple, and was already created before my Acrobat reinstall, yet is now asking for Japanese fonts...
    Edit: Forms were created using Livecycle Designer ES 2.5. I'm testing with Acrobat X and Reader X.

    Thanks for your reply!
    Ok, the form I linked, I actually only tested on my own machine, but had the Japanese font error so I assumed it held true for the new one as well. Here is the one I made today that has been tested on 4 computers (list below): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1910267/treatment_notes.pdf
    These are the computers it was tested on:
    My own computer (Windows 7, format/location set to English/US, default non-Unicode language Japanese, System Locale Japan) - pops up error in Reader X, but not Acrobat Pro X
    These 3 computers are all set to complete English/US and do not have Acrobat:
    The recipient's computer (not sure what OS, likely Reader X, no other languages installed) - popped up the error asking for Japanese fonts
    My mother's computer (XP, Reader 9, I know it has Chinese installed, but I don't think it has Japanese) - no errors
    My brother's computer (Vista, Reader 9, no other languages installed) - popped up the Japanese font error
    And just for fun I tried on the HP Touchpad (Reader 10.3), but it just gives that error that it can't display the contents of the pdf. I think the WebOS port of Reader either is horribly incomplete somehow, or otherwise I have no idea.
    I noticed the similar threads, but since they are unanswered, I thought I'd try again and see if I could get an answer. I've got my hands in the air at this point...

  • Help! Federal W4 form always requires Japanese font pack

    Hi! I've been tasked with automating the new hire process and the client would like to include the Federal W4 form in with a collection of other forms required for their internal new hire paperwork. So I download the form from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf, opened it in LiveCycle Designer 7.1 (on Windows XP), then saved the resulting LiveCycle form as a PDF. Now any time I try to open the form in Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 it goes to the web and requires that the Japanese font pack be installed. If I don't install it the form behaves very strangely, such as form field text disappearing anytime to tab off of them.
    Now if I reopen the the newly created W4 LiveCycle PDF in LiveCycle Designer and save it as an XPD file I can see that the font "Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI R" has been inserted into the document. I have confirmed that this font is not present in the original Federal W4 from. My question is why is this font being added and how can I get rid of it? This has to be a bug.
    Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

    Thanks for the follow-up! Yes, that makes sense. However since I didn't have the Japanese font pack or any Japanese fonts installed on the development workstation then LiveCycle must have used it as a "fallback" font for unknown glyphs. Specifically somewhere in the LiveCycle code must have been detection for what it thinks might be Japanese fonts. I would bet that you are right, if we had the right font loaded on the system then it wouldn't have been an issue.
    The performance issues are all with the Designer. There are quite a few objects in my 24 page PDF document. Since many of these PDF pages came from federal forms I imported them into Designer "perserving appearence" so the object count on each page in pretty high. Acrobat reader performs fine with the 24 page form, it's just the Designer that gets pretty slow on some operations.
    By the way, do you know if Designer will have better support for adding/removing pages from a document. When I first attempted to assemble the new hire packet 24 page document I opened each federal form individually in Designer and simply copied and pasted the document objects into a new page in a single LiveCycle document to assemble the completed document. I discovered that this didn't work well (objects would paste without the correct fonts) so I went into Acrobat Professional and completely assembled the individual documents into a single 24 page new hire packet before importing this into LiveCycle. This worked very well, but now that I have a LiveCycle document I cannot use Acrobat Professional any more for these types of operations.
    I guess my point is that assembing forms from separate documents in a one single LiveCycle document didn't work well just using the LiveCycle development tool. So my question is: are there going to be improvements to LiveCycle so that assembling documents is easier (much like what Acrobat Professional allows) and without flaw. Now that I have a 24 page LiveCycle document I cannot add any more pages onto the document from within Acrobat Professional. So another similar question is: will Acrobat Professional be enhanced to be more "LiveCycle aware" so that it can correctly add/delete pages even in LiveCycle documents. The current limitations with both products as it relates to assembling LiveCycle documents leaves something to be desired. I hope there are plans to correct this.

  • Extended Font Pack support for Adobe Reader 9

    To all:
    I am wondering if Adobe is no longer supporting the downloading and installation of foreign language font packs for Reader 9.
    The reason why I am thinking this is the case is because I can find no page on their site to download them from.
    I have found the Extended Font Pack page for Reader 8, but when I search for Reader 9 - I come up empty-handed.
    If anyone knows about whether Adobe has decided to end support for downloading and installing extended font packs separately from the Reader, that would be great if they can share this information.
    Here is what I found for downloading extended font packs for Reader 8:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html
    I can find nothing like this for Reader 9 on Adobe's site.
    Thanks for your time and  consideration,

  • Font smoothing issues

    Hi all. I noticed some others were complaining about font smoothing not seeming to work in Carbon applications (e.g. Camino, Firefox, MS Word and even iTunes). It seems the subpixel font-aliasing system preference (e.g. light) is ignored and, instead, the ugly CRT font smoothing is used.
    I am puzzled this has not received a lot of attention, since it immediately bothered me when I received my Macbook Pro today.
    Is everyone experiencing this font smoothing problem? I used the Migration Assistant to copy all files from my previous (Tiger-installed) Powerbook. Does anyone not having used the Migration Assistant also suffer from the font smoothing issue?
    For more info, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1829478&#1829478
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

  • Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
    I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
    but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts

    to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop

    Hi davidd61713525,
    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
    Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to.  A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk.  There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
    Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
    Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
    And a similar older one:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
    I would try the following options:
    Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
    Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not.  You can try running a disk and permissions repair.  After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion.  If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know.  I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

  • Problem with Acrobat 8.12 keeps trying to install Japanese Font Pack

    I have a client who received a pdf file and when she opened it she was told that it needed the Japanese Font Pack. I gave her admin rights but it still keeps doing it. My pc with the same setup works perfectly fine with the offending file. Now everytime she opens any PDF it tries to open the offending file first and load the font pack. I was able to go into the registry and remove the keys that mention the file and Acrobat works fine as long as we do not try and open that file again. We have installed the font pack separately. The offending file opens fine in Reader. Any idea why this would keep happening and if there is a solution to stop it from happening. Thank you.

    Actually, since I started getting the security warning, I haven't tried it on another machine. You think this information might be only stored on my machine? It's worth trying... Thanks!

  • Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4 - font leading issues

    Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4
    Recently upgraded OS and Quark and my documents that use the font Avenir are not displaying correctly. Fonts leading has expanded so anywhere Avenir is used, the leading changes the layout and most text boxes are overset.
    - leading is set to Auto
    - do not use a font manager, I use FontBook- checked usage and font is not missing
    - deleted Avenir, emptied font cache, restarted and issue still exists- made a new user, packaged a file, opened in new user and issue still exists
    - not just one file, issue exists in every file I made that uses Avenir in my archive- had my colleague open the same archived files on their computers and files were correct
    - had colleague send me Avenir font, deleted out of my library, reloaded font and issue still exists
    - deleted font out of my library and just used Avenir system font, issue still exists- deleted Quark and re-uploaded, issue still exists
    - re-uploaded OS, issue still exists- did a thumbnail transfer of items from old doc to a new doc, issue still exists
    - have spent over 6 hours on the phone with Quark support and have numerous messages back and forth in a job ticket, no resolution
    I would not normally use Quark, but a client reuqests it. I suspect I might have a corrupted system font but I am unsure. 3 weeks behind schedule on my project and am desperate for help. Any ideas?

    I just found out my E3000 was no longer compatible with making a Guest Access password.  Spent a ton of time online chatting with a Linksys/Cisco rep who told me it was not longer compatible with the newer operating systems...BUT THIS IS A LIE! My E3000 works great with Yosemite.  A couple of things you need to know.  1.  You can no longer use the Cisco Connect CD to set up a Guest PW.  It has been replaced by a handy App, that you can download from the App store:  http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=156285 2.  You can change the settings on your Wifi router directly from this app.  No need to go into the 192.168.1.1 site and configure it but if you want to, you still can do this.  On the website, there is no way to configure the GUEST settings unfortunately.... 3.  You can configure a Guess Access code and set the number of computers allowed to use it at one time on the App.  After you set the code, it will bring you off line then online again.   Make sure you log in to your WIFI network under both Guest and your WIFI network to see if works.  For some reason, it took some time for my iPhone to bring me to the Guest sign-in page, but I eventually switched the ON/Off button on the Guest Password setup and it worked.  All guests should be redirected to a CISCO SIGN-IN page where they can log in with the guest Password. 4.  I can't believe the customer reps didn't tell me immediately about this app!  I gave it 1 star as it wasn't working very well until I reset everything and started over.  Maybe that was just my incompetence.... Good luck!  My 5 yr old dual band router is still working very well!  No need to get a new one to be compatible with Yosemite!   

  • Font display issues

    Upgraded to Lion on an iMac, now I have strange font display issues across applications and in browsers and specifically with numbers, somethimes letters.

    Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Unable install Japanese Font Pack to Win7 English

    Dear Experts,
    I need to install Japanese Font Package on Windoes 7 English, however I could not install the font pack FontPack1000_ja_JP.msi due to the error,
    "This installer requires Adobe Reader X installed on your system. Please install Adobe Reader X before running this installer."
    Even the latest Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 is already installed on the system...
    Thank you in advance for your help.

        Creation Time: 2:53:52 PM
    Best regards,

    The Japanese Reader version already includes the Japanese fonts, so it is usable for this purpose.  Is this workable for you, or would you still like to try installing the Japanese font pack with the English Reader version?

    Yes, it is installed as default installation, I don't know why it's not recognized.
    I don't know that either; most likely it is some registry entry that is incorrectly set.
    What I would try if I could not get the Japanese font pack installed with English Reader:
    uninstall font pack and Reader
    run the Acrobat Cleaner tool
    reinstall Reader and font pack
    If that does not work, then I have no more ideas.

  • Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

    In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
    I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
    I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

    hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

    Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
    One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
    This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
    Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
    They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
    KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

    You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts.  I enable ant-aliasing.  I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full.  I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI.  This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
    This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
    Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
    khotkeys needs to be running.  I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
    When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work.  In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
    ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc.  I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
    Restart X
    Go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
    I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
    To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for.  Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field.  Save.
    Then go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys.  Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created.  (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
    Hope this helps,
    pudge
