Font Usage Overview?

I am well familiar with fonts in print design, but have little experience with Flash.
I do know that it's better to create the type within the Flash document, instead of importing as a jpg...
I also know that I have to have the fonts activated in Suitcase or wherever otherwise it defaults.
Is there a way to 'flatten' or 'embed' the fonts if I am not using system fonts? If so, how? Can I leave an editable layer and just embed another layer? Also what are the repercussions size-wise. Do I have a smaller file flattening/embedding?
Thanks!

You can embed the fonts by selecting the textfield you are using the font for, and in the Properties panel you click on the Embed button. In there you can specify which character ranges are to be embedded, and that can be anything from just the characters used by the field, through to every character that the font has. Normally you might pick the upper and lower case, the punctuation, and maybe the basic Latin set. The file size will be different depending on how many of the glyphs you end up including.
With CS4 you would need to do that for each textfield that is going to need the font, but it won't increase the file size if two fields are using the same character ranges. With CS5 things are improved, in that if you have embedded the character ranges for any textfield, and other textfield will have access to those characters even if you don't go into its embed settings.

Usage Overview for Mobile Services not populating

I've tried multiple times in the past few weeks as well as on different computers, connections, and browsers. Every time the dashboard of my Mobile Service shows only "loading..." for all metrics in the Usage Overview area.
Is this being investigated/triaged?

Font usage (=fonts embedded in Illustrator)for stock design (=commercial purpose)

Hi,
I have a question concerning the commercial usage of the fonts incorporated in Illustrator. Is it legal to use them (after converted into outlines) for creating stock vectors and then selling them on stockphotos/designs web pages? If I have purchased the product itself, do I have to purchse also the embedded fonts separately in order to create files for commercial purposes? I would be grateful if you could provide me a clear and concreate answer. I have been searching for a month to get a response and I haven't found it yet. Thank you very much for your precious help.

I will assume that by “fonts incorporated in Illustrator” you actually mean fonts that are installed by Adobe as part of the installation of Illustrator. My response also applies for any other fonts licensed from the Adobe Type Library directly from Adobe.
You may use and embed fonts using Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop PDF and EPS output file formats without any restriction. That includes embedding them in files that you license to others. You don't need to outline or rasterize the text to remain legal. In fact, outlining degrades output quality since you lose “intelligent scaling” provided by the font technology and font definitions with result of overly bold and blotchy looking text at low magnifications and resolutions. Rasterizing is even worse since the results are tied to a particular resolution.
What you may not do is to sell artwork in .AI (Illustrator), .INDD (InDesign), or any one of the Photoshop formats with layers preserving live text and include the fonts as separate files. (You obviously could distribute such source files without the fonts and point your customers to where to license them!)
Clearly, the best option in terms of output of your artwork and designs for resale would not outlining or rasterizing text and saving or exporting as PDF (either PDF/X-4 or High Quality Print options) maintaining color management and live transparency (if used).
- Dov
PS: This advice with regards to fonts may or may not apply to fonts sourced elsewhere. You must read the EULA (End User License Agreement) associated with the fonts you plan to license. Some may allow embedding but require royalties for the distributed PDF or EPS files that have the fonts embedded. Some prohibit outlining or treat outlining the same in terms of restrictions as embedding the font itself. And some have similar restrictions on rasterization. Check such terms before you license a font!!! Yes, you must read the licenses!

Adobe CC typekit font usage within Software / Apps

Hello!
from the font licencing center it wasn't really clear to me how the licence is regarding the usage of fonts in apps.
Lets say I have a creative cloud subscription, so I'm able to use all fonts from the Typekit lib.
If i use a font in an app design, which im going to sell on the appstore, how will the licence situation be once i quit the CC subscription model?
Of course I dont want to remove the app from the appstore. Meaning the app will continue to sell, without me having the licence for the used font anymore?
thanks and best regards,
fabian

Hi Fabian,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! The font licensing through Typekit does not include the option to embed the fonts in a native app. In order to use a font in an app, you will need to purchase a separate license from the foundry.
For more details, please refer to the "Typekit Font Licensing" help page.
We hope to be able to support embedded fonts in the future, but it isn't available at this time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help; please let me know if you have any other questions.

Font usage in print module

I've always wodered why I don't have access to my installed fonts to put text on my prints - no choice of installed fonts is available in the print module, whereas in the slideshow module all my fonts are avalable! This has always been like that (LR 2, 3) and is still so in LR 4 beta. Please, please, Adobe folks, change that asap!

I have always wondered also. I keep asking. I keep hoping. Ver 0,1,2,3,4.....maybe 5.

Losing Font usage

Hello
I have created user accounts for my students here in our computer lab on our macs. What I am noticing is that Pages is losing its font capabilities in the user accounts. Some of my students can't change fonts, or point sizes, and everything comes up in a default font. I have tried to use Font Book to reopen them, but Font Book is telling me that they are open. HELP!! I have their first major project happening next week.
BklynTechTeacher

I have created user accounts for my students here in our computer lab on our macs. What I am noticing is that Pages is losing its font capabilities in the user accounts.
The idea is as follows: In Mac OS 9 and earlier, fonts lived in one place and the operating system was for one user. In Mac OS X, the operating system is for multiple users and fonts live in multiple places. If all users are to access a font, make it live in the top level under Computer. If one user is to have access and another user is not to have access to a font, make it live in the Home level of the one user and not in the Home level of the other user. In other words, if all kids are to have access to a font, make the font live in the top level under Computer. /hh

Unicode font usage with jTabbedPane

Hey there
I faced a problem when I use Unicode characters on JTabbedPane
the font is amharic power geez unicode1 and it works fine with jLabel and partially with jButtons ( except trying to set text at run time )
The problem with jTabbedpane is that when I change its tab title property the other tabs disappear ( am using netbeans 5.5 )

To me, it looks as if your problem is that you're only calling setFont on "this".
That's only going to set it for the top level frame, and doesn't always do it for every individual component. The easy way to get around this is to go berserk with the setFont call. Set it on anything (heck, set it on your dog if it makes you feel any better)! ;D
The slightly harder but smarter way to do this is to write a recursive function that drills down your component list.
public void setFontRecursively(Font myFont, Component comp) {
   comp.setFont(myFont);
   if (comp instanceof Container) {
      Component[] childComps = ((Container)comp).getComponents();
      if (childComps != null) {
         for (int i=0; i < childComps.length; i++) {
            setFontRecursively(myFont, childComps);
That should basically cover anything bar popup menus and drop-down submenus. You have to recall this as they appear, or they don't get the font straight off.
Hope that helps!

Licence query on font usage

Hi,
I tried to send this same query to Adobe Support but they are taking very long to answer and so I thought of posting the question here to have an idea about the answer I may receive from them.
I would like to purchase an Adobe font in order to use it as the base for a logo I am going to develop. The logo would have minor modifications to some of the letter characters by using Adobe Illustrator. In other words; all modifications will be graphically based and the actual font files will not be modified in any ways.
The logo will then be used in its graphical format and the font files (those that I purchase) will not be given with the logo in any way.
Is this allowed by the Adobe Standard License Agreement? I feel personally feel it does but just want to be sure before actually making the purchase.
Thanks and Regards.
Simon J.

vRealize Operations manager can do this if you want to monitor behaviour/normality, and report based off of this data. this would connect to vCenter directly to get the data (VMs and templates view in vCenter mimics that of the Organization (vDC) / vApp Structure).
Chargeback can sample and monitor for the purposes of a creating a bill/invoice for a given VM. This would connect to both vCloud and vCenter to build the reports.
vCloud Director which is available to VSPP/vCloud Air Network members has some basic monitoring included in the product, but requires API calls to gather the data and an additional Cassandra/Kairos DB to store the information.

Typekit font usage (2 interrelated questions)

Dear all
I'm having two problems with my fonts.
(1) the typekit fonts arn't loading before the page, making the alternate fonts load (and the page load awkwardly) then replacing them with the typekit fonts.
(2) While I dislike the alternate fonts, I see a need to make sure they work well - can you toggle the typekit fonts on and off to make sure the alternate fonts won't mess up your design?

Thank you,

Hi William,
It sounds like you're seeing something called FOUT, or the flash of unstyled text. Fonts are loaded as assets into a web page, and depending on your browser or your connection speed, they can load quickly or lag a bit behind the rest of the page. Typekit gives you tools for controlling the FOUT, which you can learn all about here: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6852
That being said, I took a look at the site but didn't notice any FOUT issues. Also, in order to control the CSS for fallback fonts, you can use our Font Events that help with the FOUT. Take a look at this article for more information: http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/693940-specifying-fallback-fonts
I hope this helps. If you have any further quesitons, feel free to drop Typekit Support a line at: [email protected]
Cheers,
Ben

Typekit - fonts usage after cancelling the subscription

Hello,
I currently have an Adobe subsription which allows me to use Typekit services for website development. I'd like to know whether using the fonts on my website after cancelling my subscription will be in any way considered a violation of the agreement.
Regards,
Elik

Hi Razora,
When we talk about Creative cloud, it is Yearly or monthly based subscripotion. As long as you pay, your Creative cloud keeps on working.
But if you will cancel the subscription, that means your services has stopped and you have stopped paying for your product.
Afterwards, you product will trun in to TRIAL mode and if you haven't used the TRIAL before, it will work for 30 days and then it will stop working eventually.
P.S. when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses of Staff or helper, if there are any.

Font usage question

I am using flash catalyst as a stand-alone graphics editor/composer for animated diagrams.
In the drop down list for text, the font families webdings, wingdings, wingdings2 and wingdings3
appear, but I can't seem to make use of them. In the code view the rich text tag is updated but
in the design view the initially typed alphabetic text remains unchanged.
Am I doing something dumb, do I need some system-level changes/other fonts or is this
not possible in catalyst? If not supported, can I expect this in the release level?
Thanks,
Natalie

Hello Kurt
Thanks for the PDF. I've read it in conjunction with an Extensis Font Management in OS X document.
There are a few differences. The numbers below refer to your sections.
1) Required fonts.
The Extensis document says the following fonts should also be in the System/Library/Fonts folder in addition to those that you list?
AquaKanaBold.otf
AquaKanaRegular.otf
ZapfDingbats.dfont
Plus several non-roman fonts – can these be removed?
3) Fonts installed by Microsoft Office.
According to the Extensis document Microsoft Office 2004 needs:
Batang.ttf
Gulim.ttf
MS Gothic.ttf
MS Mincho.ttf
MS PGothic.ttf
MS PMincho.ttf
MT Extra
PMingLiU.ttf
SimSun.ttf
Wingdings
In your document you say always use the OpenType versions of the fonts. But the examples you give end with .ttf – isn't this a TrueType font? OpenType end with .otf?
7) Adobe fonts
The Extensis document says that CS 3 requires MyriadPro.otf (in various faces). All other fonts installed by CS 3 in the Library/Fonts folder can be removed.
13) Font types
I've just come to the bit about font types. Is it correct that OpenType fonts can end with .ttf but also Windows TrueType can end with .ttf How confusing?
What do you think?
Mark

Font Usage

If I am going to be designing a logo for a school, and I use a font that's already installed on Illustrator, what are the steps I would have to take in order to insure I'm not doing anything illegal. I have pruchased Illustrator, and I know there is some sort of licensing agreement, but I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly! Thanks!
-Chris

Nothing. Don't overthink it. Peopel use fonts all the time for their commercial work...

Usage overview has not reset

My verizon mobile is telling me that my cycle ends on 3-7-11 (yesterday) but has not reset the messages/text/data usage. It keeps telling me that my data allowance has exceeded (which it has) but yesterday I was not past the limit. I made sure to use my phone day so that I would not go over. I feel like verizon is trying to trick me into buying more data because it lags on resetting the usage on my phone. Or my phone does not show the correct amount of usage and yesterday I went over?

Your counts will freeze for a few days at the end of your cycle, and possibly display some strange/incorrect data while your bill is prepared. If it doesn't resolve in the next 3-4 days, you should call Verizon and see if they can find any issues with your account.

Font usage in CS6 Premiere , Open and Closed quotes??

Any suggestions?
Is this a software, settings or OS issue?
Thank you
I am working on deadline....

One side? I'm confused. You mean want these?
But you're only seeing this?

Find Font... replacement?

Hi all,
The Find Font... feature in InDesign is such a drag when you need an overview of the font usage for several documents.
I was hoping/wondering if anyone has ever created a font panel that can float like all the other panels without having to go to the Type menu and pull down to Find Font every single time. There's not even a keyboard shortcut for it. Lame.
Plus Find Font requires you to close out of it before you can do anything else to that doc or switch to another doc.
I've been trying to search the forums and plug-ins sites for a solution, but have found nothing.
Does anyone know of a replacement for Find Font?
Thanks,
BSAphex

Sorry, Steve. I'm using both CS3 and CS5. Different clients on different versions.
I just tested that out. It is somewhat helpful for a quick view, but you don't see which weights are being used and you can't manage the fonts from there either. I guess I just really wish that Find Font... would be its own panel just like swatches and layers.
I should put my suggestion in to Adobe. ;-)
Thanks for your help.
