Font Style Previews in Illustrator?

Hi, I am new to this forum. Is there a way for Illustrator to display the fonts as they would appear on the page in the Dialogue box or charater panel? I notice that Illustrator just uses one font to for all the choices.
Or, is there a way to print out the various fonts for reference?
Thanks Roman

Pull down yoru font menu from the top menubar.
If the fonts are nto previewing in their face, then
edit >> preferences > type >> and turn on font preview
Apple Brail has <> around the font name, because this enabel missing glyph protection shows the font in another face, when the letters are not readable as in a dingbat font.

Inconsistent font style behavior on Edge Reflow CC (Preview) for Windows

Adobe Edge Reflow CC Preview for Windows has wildly inconsistent behavior regarding font styles. Why is there no button for bold in the UI? Why do I have to type "bold" into the Weighting dialog text box to have my styled text render as such in Chrome? Why does text inside a box/div styled with the italics button render in Reflow but not in Chrome?

Hey there,
The font weight can be changed here:
With CSS there are both text values such as "bold" and numerical values from 100-900 usually. We gave you the ability to use either.
If you are seeing issues with a font rendering set to italic in Reflow and not in previewing properly in Chrome, can you let me know the typeface you are using? I'd like to check it out as well.

Illustrator Crashing - When changing Font Styles

Illustrator keeps crashing every time I try and change font styles on a piece of copy

Hi Selina,
Two possible (maybe the most probable) causes could be:
Corrupt font(s) or A font caches issue

(It can also help if you are on Mac to boot in safe mode)
Have you installed extra fonts or maybe a Font management Progam.
If you removed the installed fonts or disable the font management progam you get the same results?
Hopefully this will help you solve the problem.

How do I change font style in Illustrator CS3?

I am working on an EPS in CS3 and have three simple lines of text for which I would like to change the font style. How do I do that? I've highlighted the text using Arrow and/or "T" tools, and then selected different font styles from Type>Font...but nothing happens. Any simple suggestions for what I would hope is a simple issue? Thanks.

Scott Falkner, your answer was correct. The letters are outlined, not solid black. A new tool appears that looks like a magic wand, and it does allow me to select the outlined letters. However, font changes have no effect, which makes sense if the program does not recognize these as text any longer.
To answer your subsequent question, in my version of the software, a toolbar appears on the left (likely default, as I have never configured a special setting) that shows a black arrow in the upper left defined in the rollover as "Selection Tool (V)," and the second line below to the right shows a "T" defined as "Type Tool (T)." Those are the two tools I was using to select what I thought was the copy.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
FYI Scott Falkner: although I tried to mark your answer "Correct," I got an "Unexpected error has occured " from the Adobe forum Web site, so your answer was marked "helpful" instead, which did not create an error.

Not all installed fonts are available in Illustrator CS4

Hi,
I've noticed that not all of my fonts are available in Illustrator CS4. My list appears as usual in the drop down menu, but many of my fonts have somehow become incomplete. For instance, only 3 weights of Helvetica are available, instead of the 20 or so I have installed on my Macbook Pro. I use Linotype Fontexplorer, and all of my fonts appear without problems in the browser window, but not in Illustrator.
I've deleted the Adobefontlist file with no result, and I've also tried uninstalling the fonts and reinstalling them with no result. I've had a few searches to see if anyone else has had the same problem, and some people have similar issues but not exactly the same. I've also tried some of the adobe troubleshooting steps with no result.
Any help with this would be gratefully received. Somebody must have experienced the same problem?
Many thanks
Jono

Thanks Jesseham, a good suggestion. All fonts within the families are ticked like you say, and I've just performed a clear out of the caches but still no success I'm afraid.
I've attached a picture of my font list in Illustrator in the hope that someone might see something that I'm not. As you can see from the list, Helvetica Neue LT Std is in the list as Helvetica Neue LT Std 85 Heavy and only has the option of 'Regular' under the font style drop down menu. It should be just Helvetica Neue LT Std in the font list drop down menu and have all of the available weights in the font style drop down menu.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jono

FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.
This script will help by clearing the font cache and will test for corrupted fonts.
This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.
This script doesn’t solve duplicate font name, but clears out your font cach . It it will solve some duplicate font style name issues such as the one in the link below.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4306828#4306828
There is a pdf file explaining how to use the script and what it will do.
See attached files.

Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.

Axt and ge fonts are showing in illustrator middl east version of mac

axt and ge fonts are showing in illustrator middl east version of mac

Hi Mark,
Well, something is corrupt. The problem remains even after signing on
as another user. Now, another machine (also a quad core G5) is having
the same problem. This second mac has not shared files with the first one. Sometimes the glyphs from the fonts are just not
there, and at other times they are replaced with symbols.
One can immediately view the pdf properly and without error by opening it
with Acrobat.
So this problem is intermittent (it goes away for a while after rebooting),
occurs whenever pdfs are viewed with Preview (e.g. from within Safari
or straight loadad into Preview). This is getting very very annoying.
I'm begining to think that only a total re-install will solve the problem,
but since it is now happening on a second machine, I'm worried that
something more insidious is happening.

How to discover all available font styles for a given family?

I'm using InDesign CS3 and need to discover all of the available styles for any given font. I've found Application.Fonts.itemByName(), but this only returns a single font by the full name. Using ExtentScript in CS3 How can I ask for ALL font styles for any given font family (as displayed in the styles drop-down?)
Thanks!

hey,
I was just searching the web trying to find why this piece of code:
for (var i = 0; i <app.fonts.length;i++) {
app.fonts[i]..... some other code
take 4+ minutes to execute.
app.fonts.everyItem().getElements(); did the trick, sweet!!
However, I would like to ask you whether you know if there is some handout or some guide (possibly online page) for such advanced scripting...
or how did you find this solution?
thank you very much for this post, anyway

How to use different font styles in the same boolean text?

Hi all,
As reported here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16, it is possible to change font color, size or other font properties of a subtext in a string indicator. This can be applied to a caption too.
I'd like to apply this properties to a boolean text but it does not work. The boolean control has the Text.selectionStart and End property node but it does not appear to function.
Can you help me?
Thanks all

This is a bug in the development environment (I think it showed up around LV8).
There's a workaround, but it seems to work intermittently: Place some floating text on your front panel, then edit it's font styles. Select and copy the floating text. Select the boolean text (double click on it). Paste.

Welcome to the Apple forums
Your question really belongs in the AppleWorks community/forum.
You can turn on fonts in actual type in the AppleWorks preferences.

Is there a way to apply all the font styles before importing the file

Hi,
I've some text as below in a text file that needs to be imported into InDesign.
"Law of Civil Procedures"
And in InDesign this is to be made bold. I want to know if there is a way to make it bold directly and then import it into InDesign, I'm asking this as I have approximately 200 pages that needed with all the font styles applied. This would be very helpful if i can first apply the font styles and then import it into InDesign.

Hi Salah,
Thanks for your Answer. I'm completely new to indesign, i'm basically an XSLT Developer. My question in brief is as below.
We have to make books in InDesign, and the content we receive would be in XML Format and also an RTF file is given with same content, what we do currently is copy and paste the text in InDesign document and start formatting te content accordingly. But we are having huge volumes like more than 6000 pages and similarly we are having 8-12 vilumes, i want to know if we can get the styles directly in InDesign and start working on them.
For eg: we have the below content
<para style="left"><num style="bold">1(1)</num> <b>[Short title and commencement]</b></para>
Here there should be a para created and the number should be bold. I'm really unable to understand how to do it. please help me with this. And also our vendors need the IDML file along with the PDF. please let me know how i can do this.
Also please suggest me some good tutorials regarding this.
Thanks.

Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
BAI

Hi Nanda Kishore,
This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager. Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically. Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
Thanks,
Sastry
