Font won't display once installed in MS Apps

I activated Baghdad and Al Bayan fonts in the Font Book for both my account and the computer. However, the font's don't show up in Office Applications like Word and Excel, how do I activate them in these apps?

Are they in ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts? If not put them there. Then relaunch your MS apps.

Din font won't display in pdf file since December update to version 11.0.10

I upgraded my Acrobat to version 11.0.10 just before the Christmas break. Din font is my corporate typeface and I used it yesterday to create an invoice in Mac Pages only to discover that I cannot view the pdf as the font won't display in Acrobat. And to add to the problem my clients who are using the same version of Acrobat are unable to view the font either on the pdf. It all worked fine before the upgrade.
What can be done to rectify the problem? I need to fix this asap.
This error message appears when I try and open the file "Cannot extract the embedded font 'DQPJNL+DIN-Medium'. S"
The DQPJNL bit changes depending on the file being opened but essential Din font won't display.

Hi,
Please check if DIN font is embedded in your PDF by going to File > Properties > Fonts
If no, then you might need to go to 'Tools > Print Production > Preflight'
Then, open the PDF fixups section, click on Embed fonts fixup and choose 'Analyze and fix button'.
Please check and let me know if you are able to view the font now.
Regards,
Anubha

Fonts won't display in CS3-- particularly Photoshop & Illustrator

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide for this question. Recently my laptop with my installed softwares crashed. Luckily I was able to recover most everything and restored it on my newer iMac.
One of the few software that didn't play nice was CS3, so I had to re-install it. Now, many of the fonts won't show up. I'm doing a logo for a client and I need some fonts but fonts from the following- New Peninim, Corsiva Hebrew, Ariel Hebrew and/or Raanana-- don't appear after you engage the Type tool. What shows up in both Photoshop and especially Illustrator is a square box with nothing in it.
I've gone to MANY of the help columns on line and followed 4 or 5 different "solutions"-- nothing seems to work. I even, against my suspicions, called the Adobe customer service and the best they could offer was to post a question here if my answer was not apparent.
So, does anyone have an opinion on the matter? Bearing in mind that I've put fonts in the Adobe folder, reset characters and a few other things since yesterday.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Andre

If you have the fonts installed and activated and they are not functioning, you may need to clear your font caches.
Are you using any font management software? Can you confirm that the fonts are active? If you're not aware of any font management, open up Font Book (applications -> Font Book) and see if you see the fonts in there. If they are in the list, are they active? If they are not in the list, you need to add them there (I think just by dragging them from the finder) and activate them. Not being a Font Book user I'm not sure, but you may need to restart Illustrator to see the newly activated fonts.
If you don't have the fonts active, your type will be displayed in the default font (Myriad, unless you changed it) which likely doesn't have the hebrew characters, thus all you see is the squares indicating missing characters.

Ipod touch won't work after installing a new app.

Hi!
Last night, I decided to install a new "Alarm clock," app and test it out by setting it to ring a minute later- what a BIG mistake, because during the time it was supposed to ring, it made my Ipod touch completely crash instead. For the past few hours all it's been doing is flashing back and forth between my homelock screen (with the "slide to unlock," bar at the bottom) and the Apple logo, with the round 'processing' image infront of it.
I have tried many different things to get it out of this funk but nothing has worked! I tried resetting the Ipod by holding down the menu and power button, the screen went black temporarily, didn't show the "slide to power off" bar and then just reloaded with the same two flashing images. I tried restoring it, but it wouldn't restore, until I did a special reboot that I read about via online boards- where you have to hold the power + menu buttons for 10 seconds, then release the power button whilst holding just the menu button for 10 seconds- but, whilst the Ipod did go through the whole restoring process thereafter, it didn't manage to sync up.
Now, not only does my ipod STILL flash back and forth between those two images. I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)! I used a different cable to try and sync up, but the blasted thing still won't stop flashing back and forth between those two images, and the ipod is not being recognised by itunes so the ipod keeps beeping, in and out of itunes and won't sync!
My ipod isn't 'jailbroken,' I haven't touched it's software or altered it in any way, to how it was sold to me. I would've liked to have brought it back the the Apple store to be looked at, but I don't think they'll help me because the top left hand corner of my Ipod is completely missing after my niece dropped it a few months ago- the Ipod still worked (up until I installed the **** alarm app) perfectly well until now!
Also, I have a mac, so any tips on how to access/help/fix this problem would have to have instructions for a Mac OS not Windows please!
Many thanks!

Dynamic gallery won`t display once uploaded on FTP

Hi, I builded this dynamic gallery page that display the
pictures using an UI Loader component.
When I test the movie in Flash the gallery loads and displays
the external picture with no problems. However, once the html and
SWF file are upoladed on line you can see everything correctly but
the clickable thumbnails won`t open any picture.
In the FTP I`m keeping the same exact path as my directory.
The code says
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ldr1)
function ldr1 (e:Event) {
my_ldr.source = "PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg";
So, I have a PICTURES folder in the same directory as the SWF
and HTML document and inside of it I have the FASHION folder
containing the pictures called "fashion1", "fashion2", and so
forth...
I can send more code if necessary. It seems a pretty
straightforward process and it should work, but I can gigure out
why is not working.
Anybody have any idea why?
Here` s the website in progress
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/home.html

I see in the directory tree of your web host that all of your
jpg's have all caps for their extensions (fashion1.JPG not
fashion1.jpg). If you change the path in the Flash or change the
filenames this will work. Often, your local computer OS doesn't
care about caps vs no-caps, whereas web servers often do care, and
in this instance your web server does.
To test this, if you put "
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.jpg"
into the browser path you get a "404 Not Found" error. If you
change it to "
http://www.erinbarry.co.uk/staging/PICTURES/FASHION/fashion1.JPG"
you get the image.

Font won't display -- strange behaviour

Hi all,
I have a keynote presentation that I prepared last year, and it worked fine. I went to open it today, and the font does not render properly -- all the letters are compacted together and not legible. If I change the font size, I can read it again (going from size 36 to 18), but if I enlarge the text again, the same thing happens.
I emailed the keynote file to another mac in the house, and it opens just fine on that one. I tried restarting, and same thing. Since I need this presentation for tomorrow, I just went through and changed the font to a different one, and that works just fine.
When I open a different keynote file, that one displays correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Boris

I see the same problem. Arial and New Times Roman are affected. The rest work fine. They behave as though the widths are fixed. Resizing the same fonts in Mail work fine, but found the same problem in Pages. Font Book validated these fonts. Also, in the Inspector, Text Spacing has no effect. I don't have an answer yet but I have a question. Did your other Mac on which it worked properly, have an earlier version of either iWork or OS X and are you having trouble with Arial and New Times Roman also or a different font?

Font won't display or print following upgrade to Reader 9

Since "upgrading" the other day to Reader 9, Monotype Corsiva will no longer display or print on my .pdf documents. I had no problems with the font displaying or printing prior to then. I tried copying the font and pasting it in the Fonts folder, but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

I'm having exactly the same kind of problem. I downloaded
Adobe Reader 9 and i havent used Monotype Corsiva before,
but for my projekt it is simply vital ;/
Looking forward for any help solving the problem
regards

I erased some unnecessary fonts and now my MacBook won't display any words/icons? Apps aren't working as well. Help!

I tried to fix it but I'm not sure how without seeing any apps/ words/ files

Well, that depends on which OS you are running; in any case you will need to reinstall your OS since the fonts are part of the system.
So, if you have an install disk, boot from it, and reinstall your OS. If you have Lion or newer, use recovery (Command + R during startup or restart) and choose to reinstall the OS.

InDesign Table of Contents won't display once exported to pdf

Hello,
I am creating user manuals using Indesign books with CS5. When I export the book, I can view everything perfectly. But when I open the same file from a different computer, I get a message saying:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the problem."
And two pages are blank - the table of contents. If you hover the cursor over the blank pages, the cursor changes and indicates the hyperlinks, and the hyperlinks still work, but since you can't view the text it's not very helpful.
Both computers are using Acrobat 9.
Any ideas?

I systematically removed elements from the pages in turn and I think I've found the issue. I have a header/footer created in illustrator on the master pages for all the documents in the book, and when I remove it from the Table of Contents, it shows up just fine. Odd that it doesn't affect the other pages.
Thanks for your quick responses. Consider the problem solved.

SWF won't display once uploaded.

I'm in a pickle here. I've looked at this multiple times, and looked at multiple pieces of advice, and multiple posts, and still can't find the answer, and don't see what I'm doing wrong.
I'm working on a website that has SWF embedded. I had to make some changes to one of the (existing - not created by me) pages, and that meant having to shuffle around a couple of SWF videos. I preview it and it looks fine, but when I upload it...the videos AREN'T THERE.
I've tried all kinds of things - linking it to the SWF file's URL on the server (in case it was looking for it on my local drive), etc. etc. But nothing works. Is there anything I can do?

It works with JavaScript turned off, indicating a problem with JavaScript.
These two files are 404 Not Found:
/bettie-page/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
/bettie-page/Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js
Upload your Scripts folder and all its content.
Note: Usually the Scripts folder is found on the root of the site, but your page expects to find the Scripts folder in the bettie-page folder.

Arial Black Font won't display

My website uses Arial Black on all of its menus. Firefox 4.0 converts this to Arial. It works fine with earlier versions of Firefox, IE and Chrome.

Not even a workaround to be honest - makes arial black extra bold (horrible looking) on all other browsers. Need to pinpoint FF4+ through jscript or php and apply css for FF only. Why they have done this is beyond me. Pain in the ass

Why won't OS10.8 install from the App Store?

I continue to get an error occured message at 168mB with the download to upgrade running 10.7.5 on a new Mac mini 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 2 GB 13333 MHz DDR3 Ram?

What is the error message?
This has worked for some people:
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store. Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy. It won't charge you again.

Cs3 preview looks good but won't display some pictures online.

Using cs3. My pages work fine in display but some .gif and .jpeg won't display once published. Same in ie and mozilla. http://www.cinnamonridgehomes.com/homeplans.html Any ideas?

There should be 10 plans listed with pics on each. I am only seeing 4 pics though all the plan names are there. Same result on 3 different computers. Are you seeing something different?

Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
Oops! Sorry, missed that.
So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.
