Font Problem in Unix

We have a report running in unix which uses Times New Roman font and has been running correctly, but for the last few days the output is coming strange and when we check the PDF file we found that it is using Helvetica Font instead of times in the output.
We have checked the uifont.ali and nothing has changed in that. Is there any other file/setting in unix which will affect the font in reports.
Many Thanks,
Bibin

We also have a similar problem with the fonts in Unix Vs Windows. What we have is that any string (char/varchar field in rdf) wraps differently in Unix than in Windows. When using the rdf builder locally, we see that the field is properly wrapped around and shown in multiple lines (when using fixed width but expandable vertically) but when run against the reports server (running on UNIX), the field, though wraps, doesn't wrap the same as in Windows, sometimes overlapping on the adjacent field. Have you seen this kind of problem on your side? We are using Reports 6i with Oracle 9i database.

  • Embedded Calibri font problem in UNIX

    Hi,
    We have created a PDF template in Microsoft Windows. It contains properties and the values for the properties are assigned using Java through an external tool. We have embedded the Calibri font into the template. But when we try to open it in UNIX, it gives an error message saying Cannot extract the embedded font Calibri. Some characters may not display or print correctly. We are using Acrobat reader version 8.1.2 in windows and 7.0.8 in UNIX. Is the Calibri font compatible with UNIX? If its not, how can we solve this issue. Any suggestion on solving this is very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sasanga

    Hi Ganesh,
    Thanks for the quick response. Since those templates are client confidential we are not authorized to send those outside the organization. Appreciate if you could let me know what might be the cause of this issue.
    Thanks,

  • X11 and g++ font problem

    hi,
    I am experiencing some fonts problem with x11 when using g++, g++'s error messages contains some funny fonts under x11. For example, when compiling the following code, I get:
    1 void function_name() {
    2 int u; // to create a compile warning
    3 }
    4
    5 int main () {
    6 int a; // to create a compile warning "unused variable"
    7 yy ul; // to create a compile error
    8 }
    g++ -Wall t.C
    t.C: In function ‘void function_name()’:
    t.C:2: warning: unused variable ‘u’
    t.C: In function ‘int main()’:
    t.C:7: error: ‘yy’ was not declared in this scope
    t.C:7: error: expected `;' before ‘ul’
    t.C:6: warning: unused variable ‘a’
    which is normal, but on my xterm under x11, i get "\hat{a}" for all the symbols enclosed by ` and ' . I could not cut-and-paste the errors on this message. For example: `void function_name()' in the first line is shown on my xterm as "\hat{a}"
    My system configuration is: OS: 10.5, X11.app 2.0 - X.org X11R7.2, gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

    Hai Mohit,
    Well, I am not sure if my answer is correct, but I
    think the fonts in WindowsNT/95 are different when compared with
    the Unix based ( HP, Sun, IBM-AIX, SCO).For example the default
    font in WindowsNT/95 would be MS Sans Serif but you will not
    find this font in Unix OS. Then in that case if you generate the
    form in Unix then it will take the font that equal to or nearly
    equal to it. So if you have a form with MS Sans Serif font it
    would be converted in Courier New font as it the default font in
    most Unix OS. I think you can find some info. about this in
    Developer 2000 manuals.

    I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think.  Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

  • Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

    I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
    The problems I have encountered include:
    1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
    2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
    3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
    4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
    5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
    I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • 10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

    Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7?  After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation.  This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates.  Is it safe to update now?

    The combo should fix your problem.  As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
    The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

  • HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

    I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard.  It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote.  Any suggestions of how to fix it?

    Dear Kurt,
    in bigger companies thinks come slow :-)  Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
    And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
    We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
    The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
    We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
    Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
    And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
    When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
    Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
    The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
    The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
    I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
    But I wasn't able to get it to work.
    Do you have the one big hint for me???
    Thanks and best regards...      Udo

  • PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

    Ugh.
    MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
    I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
    My maladies are
    1. My PDFs are incomplete
    2. Received MS Office filed open "blank".  Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
    Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Font problem in Classic

    I posted this over in the Classic forum...but it's rather dead over there and I fear it may not be seen for a while...so here's the problem...
    I'm running Quark 4 in Classic and having trouble with fonts. Though the fonts are on my computer, and in the OS 9 fonts folder, they won't print correctly. If I use the same printer and print from Quark on my old iMac (running OS 9) the fonts print and look fine.
    I read another thread in this forum that mentioned the fonts must be OS 9 fonts (and must not have been run through suitcase or a similar managing program???). So, on the off chance that my husband or I just took OS X fonts and copied into the OS 9 folder, I copied the OS 9 fonts from the iMac (I just grabbed everything in the Frutiger family, as it was one that I had an issue with) and then dumped them into the OS 9 fonts folder on my iBook. I restarted Classic mode in order to make the fonts available to the OS and then printed again. The font still prints all pixeled-looking.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to find the original font disc and install them from the disc?
    Any help would be most appreciated!!!!!

    Hi Diane,
    Glad that the tip helped to "solve" the font problem!
    Not sure why you are printing the file info at the bottom of the page. It does sound as if it is a print setting somewhere though. Hopefully someone has a clue for you.
    Again, thanks for the "solved" star and if I can think of something else for you to try I'll post back. Let us know if you figure it out.
    good luck,

    edit:
    "In lieu of an answer...I tried changing the paper size to legal and it's not on the last copy I printed."
    Ooops, I misread your reply, and see that by changing the paper size it corrected the issue.

  • Strange system font problem

    Hello,
    I have the following problem for 2 days now:
    http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1462/bild1.png
    I did not install anything. I tried to delete font caches but it did not help.
    I re-installed the system but that did not change anything. After resetting the PRAM the problem was solved. At least for some hours, but now the problem appeared again.
    When I do a reboot, strange white lines appear over the grey background and the Apple Logo, then the screen turns blue, the cursor consists of white lines too and nothing more happens. After several tries to reboot the Mac is running again, but the font problem still exists.
    First I thought of a graphic card problem, but it seems that this font problem only concerns system prefernces and system applications.
    I have no idea what to do now, so please help me.

    Hi "Apfelkrautsalami"
    Font caching information is stored on a per-user basis in
    /private/var/folders
    I have no idea if it'll help, but you could try this:
    - Open a Terminal and do
    *sudo rm -rf -- /private/var/folders/??*
    - Restart your machine
    (Note 1: The '--' prevents rm to think that folders like '-5' are options)
    (Note 2: The '??' will match any two-letter directory. I didn't want to say '*')

  • Font Problems with Safari

    I've been trying to fix this font problem I'm haveing. I go someplace like ebay and most of the fonts are fine but some fonts are not the ones I want. And when I go to the perfences nothing happens. Then I go to the font book and I can't find the font. I tryied to reset Safari and stills the same problem.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

  • Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

    Hello everyone,
    I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
    I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
    Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
    fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
    validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
    when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
    had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
    errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
    command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
    that had minor errors.
    I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
    Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
    InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
    see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
    my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
    this font as well as mine and many others.
    10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR:  The font system thinks
    the font
    file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
    is active, but the file no longer exists!
    Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
    enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
    of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
    Any ideas of how to fix this problem?

  • Sql Loader problem in UNIX

    Oracle version: 11g
    I am having a problem in UNIX box where my datafile is delimited by "|". The last field is ITM_CMNT declared as VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle. When I have exactly 60bytes in the last field it rejects the record saying actual 61 and max allowed is 60. If i reduce it to < 60bytes then it is stored as a value enclosed with double quotes. The enclosing double quote is on the next line. Something like this...

    Expected: the one below is exactly 60bytes and it should load just like below. Not sure what should I add to control file. If i add an "|" at the end of last field then 60bytes of item comments is loaded but we can't add that since there is no other field to map/load into the table. Ideally data should be A|B|C rather than |A|B|C|.

    2. I opened the file using VI editor in UNIX and didnt see any weird or special characters at the end of each record.
    3. The only time all the 60 bytes get loaded is If I add a pipe at the end.
    4. It loads all the records appended with double quotes like I described above when it is less than 60 bytes.
    5. I downloaded the bad file from unix and ran it in windows and all the bad records were loaded successfully.
    Not sure what else should I try.
