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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Font has a strange behaviour

    One of my fonts has a strange behaviour. Some characters print perfectly on screen but not on the printer, neither in the preview ???
    I tried to de-install and re-install that particular font, but that did'nt help.
    any clues ? thanks,
    MJ

    Here's the problem. It's a complete piece of junk.
    The baseline is so far off on zero through nine that they're being just about pushed off the chart. Next, look at the glyph names. A-H are correct. From there on, you get some sort of bizarre numbering where the rest of the upper and lower case letter designations should be.
    That this font ever worked is amazing.

  • Fonts displaying strangely

    Hi,
    Safari and the Address Book are displaying strange fonts. This happened to me once before; I had installed new fonts and noticed the problem. I disabled the new fonts and the problem went away.
    This time, however, I did not install new fonts. Any ideas how I can fix ths?
    Here is a screen shot of my problem:

    Hi Bruno,
    I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it will do no harm trying it.
    It may be that you have to resolve duplicates in Font Book. Open Font Book which is in your applications folder and look for any black dots next to the font names, if you see any highlight them then go to 'Edit' in the top menu and select 'Resolve Duplicates'
    Do this for each font with the black dot. When you're finished, restart your Mac.
    Like I said, don't know if it will work, but it's worth a go

  • Muse won't display Arial font

    Arial font does not display in Muse, and when I try to select it as a web font, it is unavailable.

    Symbolic fonts really need to be embedded, you can't rely on local display.

  • APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

    Hi
    For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
    I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
    After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
    Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
    Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
    So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
    So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
    Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
    Thanks
    Brian
    [Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]

    Hi Brian,
    it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
    At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
    Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
    However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
    However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
    My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
    For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
    For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
    You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

  • Cursor shows strange behaviour in 10.9.5

    HI,
    I'm using a 15" MBPr late 2013, i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, running on 10.9.5. Lately I registered a very strange behaviour of the cursor when using the built in trackpad. If hovering over one of the symbols in the bar at the upper right corner of the screen and then moving the cursor downward, the menu of the symbol on the right of the cursor pops up (not the one the cursor ist pointing on).
    For example: the symbol for WiFi is located left from the one regulating the volume. When hovering over WiFi and moving downwards to activate/deactivate it, the volume-controle pops up ! If I want to use the WiFi, I have to hover over the symbol for bluetooth-connectivity instead....
    Any idea whats happening here ?
    Help is very much appreciated !
    MIchael

    OK, found the solution by myself. The reason seemed to be related to the resolution of the display. Changed it to another one (no matter which one), waited for the display to change and the changed the res back to optimal for display.
    The cursor now works fine and exactly....
    Really weird.

  • DW8:  image won't display in Design View

    Folks:
    DW8 on MacOS 10.4.8 (fully updated) on Intel iMac.
    What would keep an image from displaying in DW Design View?
    What are the causes of the grey box with the superimposed "X"? Is
    there any diagnostic output that might help? Is the grey box and
    "X" substituted by DW8 for an invalid or un-drawable graphic, or is
    this done by the OS?
    The problem:
    I've got a 1912 x 1481 graphic, a geographic map, in AI that
    I'm trying to use as an ordinary web image, but DW won't display it
    in Design View. Instead all I see is a big grey box and "X". For
    test purposes, I'm starting from a new "Basic" HTML web page and
    all I'm doing is inserting this one image. I need to get this
    working so I can draw hotspots on this graphic to make it
    "clickable" .
    Here's what I've tried:
    o Triple-checking that the inserted image reference is
    correct. Yes, the image file is correctly linked. With the image
    selected, the inspector shows a tiny but recognizable miniature of
    the expected image. Further, when the page and the image are
    uploaded to the web server and I look at it via a browser, the
    expected image is _always correctly displayed.
    o Exporting the graphic "for the web" from AI as both a GIF
    and a medium-quality JPG. Neither of these are displayed in Design
    View; both are served up correctly after being uploaded
    o I found a larger JPG on a different site I'm managing. This
    always displays as expected in both DW Design View and when served
    up. I substituted the failing map JPG image. The result: A grey
    box.
    o Checking the map images: The JPG and GIF versions seem to
    be visible in all environments (image readers, browsers, etc.) I've
    checked _except_ DW8 Design View.
    o Checked on another system. I made the failing image
    available to a very helpful ACE, who performed a similar
    experiment. It worked fine for him. I used his exact HTML and
    directory structure -- and it failed for me. Grey box with "X".
    It seems to me that I've checked most of the obvious
    possibilities. Now it is time to check the less obvious ones.
    Suggestions are very welcome!
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Randy:
    Thanks for your response.
    This is a virtual memory system, so -- in theory-- it should
    accommodate anything that will fit on the hard drive, more or less,
    if I'm wiling to wait the hours (days?) it will take to swap on and
    off the disk. That assumes DW8 takes advantage of the capability.
    It may not.
    "Larger"? The JPG image I compared to is 1692 x 2160 pixels,
    but weighs slightly less, 289K bytes. I'm losing track of all my
    test images that fail, but a representative one is 1912 x 1481
    pixels and weighs 332Kb on the disk. "Roughly comparable" might be
    a better description. The point is still reasonable: DW8 does
    handle images of this size on my system.
    One issue that occurred to me recently is that I may have
    caused some grief by monkeying with the "Save for web" settings at
    the Illy export. Perhaps I asked for some configuration that's
    normal for Illy to export --or it would have warned me, I hope--
    but too strange for DW to grok. DW should complain more
    informatively than painting a gray box and "X" when that happens, I
    would think.

  • Strange behaviour in Mail

    I have ongoing strange behaviour with Mail in Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
    As well as randomly and intermitttently dropping connections to my various mail servers, I also, randomly and intermittently, fail to get to Print, or to create a new Mailbox, or to Quit. I just get a beep.
    Have to quit Mail - sometimes forcibly, and restart it.
    Mail will not automatically reconnect to servers after a Sleep , or moving to a differnt location.
    None of this was happenning on an older MacBook, but I was running 10.7 on that machine.
    Had to upgrade machine to allow upgrade to Mountain Lion.  Not sure which is responsible - new MB PRo , or 10.8?!
    Do I really have to re-install OSX  just to reinstall Mail?
    Any other pointers/hints very welcome.
    Thanks

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Strange behaviour - any ideas?

    Strange behaviour began when i was unable to open a new page in photoshop.
    The next day i was unable to print from word or photoshop or emails.
    However i could print from freehand and excel!
    I used disk 1 to verify and repair disk.
    this did not solve the problem as then when i tried to open Safari the toolbar opened but no window.
    I have reinstalled the operating system making an archive but this also has not had an effect.
    Any ideas on what to do next or should I just reinstall the operating system over the old one?
