Font styles not recognized

I've just installed a font (Bryant) that has 4 possible styles: Regular, Bold, Light and Medium.
The problem is that Photoshop and Flash are recognizing this font but only the regular style...
I need to use the bold style but i'm unable to select it (both in Photoshop and Flash) - the only style that appears in the drop down box is the "Regular".
Is this some sort of known issue? What can I do to solve this?

Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

Hi,
For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

Font style not available on select machines (Captivate 5)

Cap community,
For most of our projects, I selected Lucida Sans as the default font for most caption types. Internally we would hand a single project file off between 2-3 different people and didn't have any issue until recently my boss does not have the Lucida Sans Regular font style while at least three others of us do.
Below and left is a screenshot from my machine that shows the Regular font style. Below and right is a screenshot from my boss showing the missing Regular font style.
The obvious thing to check is that she does in fact have the same font family and not just the Italic, Demibold Italic, and Demibold families. However, we both have the same font on our Windows > Fonts folder. Here is a screenshot of that font from the Windows font viewer. The font name is Lucida Sans Regular (TrueType) and the filename is LSANS.TTF (oddly enough, the font viewer describes it as OpenType even though the name in Windows Explorer reads TrueType... but this is the same for both our machines so it doesn't appear to be a different variable).
We even carefully uninstalled her Lucida Sans font family and copy/pasted my font file to her machine to ensure we had the same one, and still no joy. Has anyone run across this issue? Seems like it could be either a font issue or Captivate, but leaning toward Captivate since we feel relatively sure that we have the same font.
BTW, as a result of this difference when she opens the .cpx project file I'm working on it replaces all the Regular font styles with her Demibold or Demibold Italic, which throws everything off if she wants to publish to swf or Word doc.
Best,
Danny

Hi Danny
Two things:
First, please submit this as a bug to Adobe using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (link is in my sig)
I say this because Adobe needs to be aware of this issue. And it relates directly to my second thing below.
Secondly, I've seen others report missing fonts and such that were present in Captivate 4 but not in Captivate 5. To date, I don't recall seeing anyone from adobe answer any of these threads with a reason or a solution. So I'm hopeful that by all affected reporting this as a bug, someone will finally hear back from Adobe on the issue. If that happens, I'm also hopeful that one of these threads will be updated to advise why this is happening.
Cheers... Rick

Why are some font styles not available in the Typewriter function?

I would like to use Arial Narrow Bold, however it is not listed. I do have this font style in C:\Window\Fonts but it does not show up when I use they typewriter function. I am able to use this font style in Adobe when in the forms field. Is there a way to update the fonts available for the Typewriter?
Thanks for any advice!

I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.

Some Font styles not available on solaris

Hi,
I am developing a Java application on windows with the plan of running it on solaris eventually. It is starting without error on windows but, when I ftp it to solaris and start the program from an xterm I get the following error which is repeated a number of times:
'Font specified in font.properties not found [-urw-itc zapfdingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-sun-fontspecific]'
The application runs fine but I am wondering how I can fix the error appearing in the xterm. I know there is a setFont function that I can set the Font to something like 'Dialog' that is common to both operating systemsbut I have tried this and the same message appears. I cannot setFont for the line 'JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, STRING, "Invalid entry", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);' so this doesn't seem to be working, the error still appears. Can you offer any help? if not then can anyone suggest who or where I might try to get help from?
Thanks
Conor

IPhone email-need to change the font style, not just the size

My emails are showing in Black Arial, when I just want them to display in normal Arial font. I do not see where I can change the Font setting other than the size of it, I had it on Large but now have it on Small. On the iPhone the font appears in a regular size and not bolded except for the To and Subject lines. But when I look at an email I sent from my iPhone Outlook on my laptop, the whole email's font is darker (not All Caps, just darker), as if the letters are in bold font, but Black Arial versus Arial looks that way, but all my other emails in Outlook are in regular Arial so I would like them to be consistent.
I called Apple support and they had me re-set my mail settings and re-create my email profile, but it still did not help.

The iPhone does not support composing email in RTF or HTML, so the font type, size, or style cannot be changed. The iPhone's Mail client supports composing email in Plain Text only.
When composing email in RTF or HTML, the sender controls the formatting, which may not be displayed the same or identical with the recipient's email client depending on the email client used.
When composing email in Plain Text, the recipient controls the formatting.
What is your font setting in Outlook for viewing a received message that was composed in Plain Text?

Font Styles not working

Very strange. I'm encountering all sorts of buggy behavior with regard to font styling, even in the most elementary forms.
For example, if I hit command-B to turn on bold (Rich Text is set in preferences for messages), or if I select this from the Style menu, or if I use the font browser, nothing happens. No bold. Same with underlining and italics.
I've tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist; I've tried rebuilding databases of mailboxes; I've tried starting Mail in safe mode. None of the above works.
I'm out of ideas. Help!

Zen X-Fi Style not recognized on Creative Centrale anymore

Hi,
I have a Zen X-Fi Style. Usually I transferred music files via the explorer on my laptop and then open CC to label the files.
However, last time I connected the player, CC did not show it ... "My Zen" in the left column does not show
I tried all three USB ports on my laptop, different cables ... nothing.
I have no idea what happened (no new installations, no other changes ... )
Help !

My pc does recognise the player; also shows the files I put on it.
However, when starting CC (after pc has recognized player and all is still connected ) "My Zen" does not appear there anymore. With other words, I cannot view and edit / label files on the player via CC.
As it never was a problem before I'm puzzled now.
(Thinking about it, I'm not sure when I used CC last, it may be the case that it was before I installed AVG premium anti virus .... Could that have any influence on CC....???? )
I really hope there is a solution because pittily enough, the files on the player cannot be labled without CC, to my knowledge ...
Kind regards,
Sigrid

SAPScript Font Style not working in QA

Hi Folks,
My client has requested a SAPSCript form change in their 4.7 system. I have imported the Verdana TT Font family into SAP to meet a business requirement, and created the font family ZVERDANA. All good. I have created a custom style using the new font family ZVERDANA, and used this custom style in a standard text object, which is working fine in our development environment. The Standard text even displays in the nominated SAPScript form in development in the Verdana Font.
I've transported everything to QA, but the Standard text object is not reflecting the font upon printout. I have verified that the font family exists, and is the same as Dev, and the Style exists and this is also a match for Dev.
When I view the Standard text object in SO10 with the graphical PC editor, the text appears in Verdana, but when I do a print preview from SO10, or when I generate the nominated Form, it's displaying in courier. The code in the Standard Text object is as follows:
/:   STYLE ZINFINIT
HD   INFINITI SERVICES PTY LTD
SP   Phone: 03 8911 1234 Fax: 03 8911 1200
ST   www.infinitiserv.com.au
SP   Mailing address:
ST   Locked bag 2226, Melbourne, Victoria 3001
/:   STYLE *
Has anyone encountered an issue like this before, and if so, any thoughts on how to get the TT Font to display outwardly?
Regards,
Steve

Thanks for your quick reply Tamas. At this point in time, we haven't tried printing the form out yet. The issue was identified based on on a print preview of the form on the screen. Similarly, the document is, more often than not, emailed as a PDF. The print difference is visible in the OTF/PDF/Print Preview views, before we get to a printer.
However, this is not the case in Dev.
Cheers,
Streve

FW CS4 Win7 x64: Font Suddenly Not Recognized

Weird issue that I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a family of TrueType fonts that I've been using across various CS4 projects for a while, and now, suddenly, none of the fonts are available within Fireworks CS4. They still show up in the Font menu, but selecting them doesn't change any on-screen text, and the font menu always reverts back to the previous selection (usually Arial). The fonts still work fine in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, as well as MS Office and other non-Adobe apps. It's just Fireworks that has suddenly decided to stop recognizing them.
I've deinstalled the fonts and reinstalled a new fresh copy -- no change. Restarted multiple times -- nothing.
Is there maybe a Fireworks font-related prefs file that's been corrupted or something? I really need to get some work done, and with so many of my base design projects built in FW, I'm kinda stuck.
Any ideas?

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.

Fonts do not work

Does anyone know why Fonts are not working???
International language fonts, remain in English and do not change to their appropriate format. Also a majority of the fonts do not change to their programmed format. The fonts will display appropriately in the Font Book, however they will not work in any program.
I've tried many things:
1. Validate all fonts
2. Restart in Safe Boot and then restart the system, to clear the font cache
3. Uninstalled all fonts, then reinstalled everyone in groups, specifically all fonts starting with an "A" then "B" and so on.
4. Removed any duplicates (also done before the restart in Safe Boot)
5. Install a brand new font from Adobe, which too did not work even though it specifically states that it will in OS X 10.6.
After the attempts to resolve the issue, fonts were NOT RECOGNIZED by the software. Fonts were ONLY RECOGNIZED by the Font Book.
Is there anything else that one can do?

Unfortunately, I cannot send out any fonts to anyone. Most are licensed fonts from Adobe, such as ArnoPro-LightDisplay, Adobe Hebrew, Chalkboard, Chalkduster, New Peninim MT, Kozuka Pro, and others including Kokonor, TW Cen MT, Al Bayan and Baghdad.
Chalkboard, Chalkduster, New Peninim MT, Kokonor, Al Bayan, and Baghdad are all installed by OS X itself, so I have them. Or have you installed other versions from somewhere? Have you checked for duplicates in Fontbook?
Kokonor is for Tibetan. Which input method are you using? Does Kailasa work?
Are you able to type Arabic in the default Geeza Pro? What happens if you try to switch some Geeza Pro text in TextEdit to Al Bayan?
Are you able to type Hebrew in the default Lucida Grande? What happens if you try to switch some Lucida Grande Hebrew text in TextEdit to New Peninim or Adobe Hebrew?
Chalkboard and Chalkduster are Latin fonts. Are you unable to make accented characters with them in TextEdit, for example é using the US layout and Option + e, then e?
Can you type Japanese OK using the default OS X Hiragino fonts? What happens if you try to switch text typed in that to Kozuka?

InDesign CS5 not recognizing font style

I recently installed InDesign CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. One of the fonts I have installed (both in the Windows/fonts folder and the InDesign font folder), Futura Lt Cn Bt, only shows up as an italics style, not a normal style.

The italics version shows up in ID and is installed in both my main font folder and my ID fonts folder. However, the "regular" or non-italics version, is also installed in my main fonts folder. I seem to have found a solution by finding a free download of this style (i.e. non-italics) of Futura. It created a separate font entry in my ID (rather than just adding a different style to my exisiting Futura Lt Cn Bt listing), but all seems to be working. Thanks for your help!

Illustrator CS2 Suddenly not Recognizing Arial Narrow Fonts

I created a graphic earlier today that used Arial Narrow Bold Italic. Later on today I had to update the graphic with new information and now it is telling me I don't have the font installed. The Arial Narrow fonts are in the fonts folder and are recognized by all other CS apps, Office apps, etc. I have replaced the fonts countless times since getting this message, restarted my computer, all to no avail. I eventually had to go to another computer to do the update. I even tried copying the fonts from that computer to mine and I still get the same error in Illustrator.
I don't know what the heck happened. I didn't install any new fonts between the time I made the graphic and the time I tried to update it. Do I need to re-install Illustrator? I need to know ASAP, as I will be updating this graphic tomorrow and of course would still like to use Arial Narrow in Illustrator.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Btw, I'm on WinXP SP2.

I had the same problem when I upgraded to CS3. Haven't explored the reasoning behind it but did try resetting (deleting) several PREF files, reinstalling the font, but nothing changed. I did find the following: Select ARIAL font and under FONT STYLE select the NARROW option. This will be give you the equivalent of NARROW REGULAR but there are no direct style options for italic, bold, or bold italic. Since I don't use the font that much, my only work around was to apply a stroke of .15-.25pt to the text for bold and a 20° shear for italic.
If anybody's got a answer to why ARIAL NARROW got wrapped as a font style of ARIAL and not just a font, such ARIAL BLACK, etc., it would be greatly appreciated.

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
