Fonts are choppy

I have made a pdf file, and the fonts look choppy and hard to read on screen. They are fine when I magnify or print page. I have Acrobat 8 Pro and running on Windows XP. I have gone into Preferences, but can't get them to look better. When I run the same file on my Windows 2000 computer and use Acrobat 5, they are nice and easy to read. When I changed the preferences to Monitor or Laptop,there was no difference. Please help. I am going to be using this in a presentation and I want the pages to be easy to read in full page view.

Open the document properties and select the fonts. Be sure the fonts are embedded and are not bitmap fonts.

  • Fonts are choppy in illustrator CS5 :(

    I just installed this few minutes ago then this thing annoys me
    http://imgur.com/Zhg3m.png
    i am so irritated! it doesnt look like this in photoshop and dreamweaver! please tell me if i need to install something or restart
    I didnt check ALL of the programs i just choose some(in the part of checking "media player, extension etc")
    please help me
    it may not be that very noticeable in the photo but trust me, there is NO font smoothing
    and this is my very first illustrator so i dont know what to do :/

    The monitor is not an exact represenation of the banding, but is actually often very close. Depending on on which print process (dry, flexo, roto, litho) the banding will change with litho having the fewest and dry offset the most. Postscript Level 3 has some correction for this, so that is one reason why we have seen less of this.
    To correct change your color values so that you do not get a small change in tint value over a long distance, or you can bitmap your gradient in photoshop and add a little spatter or noise if you prefer in the problem channels, that helps disrupt out the bands.

  • Some fonts are not shown correctly in LabVIEW 2012

    I found a bug related with fonts in LabVIEW2012 f3 KR.
    - When I select NI7SEG in font selection dialog, right font is not shown in the example box.
    - Draw text at point.vi shows same problem for some fonts while other fonts are working.
    I reported it to Korean NI. As far as I know, this was not reported in previous versions and I couldn't find any related documents in Google. 
    So, here I would like to know whether it is related with only Korean version. Please let me know if English version is OK. 
    * OS: Windows 7 32bit KR

    Just now, I installed LabVIEW 2012 f3 (32-bit, English) and checked for the issue. But the font(NI7SEG) was not shown properly in VI either.
    - Both of Korea and English version of LabVIEW 2012 on Win 7 Korea OS shows wrong results. It is same on 64-bit OS.
    - LabVIEW 2010 but on same PC shows correct fonts.
    Is there a limit of number of fonts in LabVIEW? There are more than 100 fonts are shown in the "Selection Font" dialog and I can divide them into 3 groups by sequential order. I find that all fonts in the 3rd group are not applied correctly.
    (1st group)
    Arial Unicode MS...
    Bookshelf Symbol 3....
    Windings 3
    (2nd group)
    @Arial Unicode MS...
    @Terminal
    (3rd group)
    Arial...
    Consolas...
    Courier...  
    Licida Console... 
    NI7SEG...
    Verdana

  • Typekit desktop fonts are synced but the fonts are not working

    I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud services and immediate have noticed that Typekit is hit or miss. I have no trouble syncing the fonts on Typekit.com, they show as synced in my CC control panel. Photoshop CC sometimes even recognize the missing fonts as typekit fonts on a PSD load and ask if I want to update the missing fonts with the Typekit fonts, I confirm I do or in general try to use the synced fonts, and it doesn't work – fonts are missing. I restart Photoshop, I restart my computer, I attempt the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it eventually works, but today its not. This is all very frustrating since access to Typekit was one of the main reasons I decided to go on the Adobe Creative Cloud. Please help!

    Hi sws234,
    I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. There are a few things we can check right away to start debugging this:
    - First, would you try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and see if this solves the issue?
    - Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve the issue?
    - Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under: Gear > Preferences > Fonts. Wait a second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try syncing again. Did this solve it?
    - Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
    - Could you check version of the Creative Cloud app you're using and let me know which version it is? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account
    If none of those worked, could you drop us a line at: [email protected] and we'll pick it up there? We'll need some account info to continue troubleshooting.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin

  • I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get into Word?

    I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get them imported into Word?

    Hi,
    I checked your account,your Export PDF subscription is in 'Pending' status.
    Once it gets confirmed you will be able to use it.
    Please let us know if you require further assistance.

  • Open, save and then fonts are missing

    I am receiving InDesign 5.5 files from clients. I can open them, make changes, do a save-as and close. When I immediately re-open the file, I get an error that most of the fonts are missing. I am using Linotype Font Explorer X, v 1.2.3 and I understand it is the latest version. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

    Umm. I will have to check. I may be saving just outside of their job folder in the our enclosing job folder. We put client files/folders into a job folder with that job number on it. When doing the "save as", normal procedure is to save just outside the original file folder, leaving original client files untouched and our files separate from theirs. I may have tried saving into the client folder, but will go back and try that.

  • All fonts are missing in indesign

    I closed my file last night with master pages items and text layers locked in the layers pallette.
    The file is to the point that I have master pages set with columns, and guides, and pages, and footer with text.  It is all layed out with images, ready to start typography.  I used Myriad pro, and I think Bell ( this may have been brought in from dafont, not sure).
    When I opened the file this morning it said that the fonts were missing.  I tried to find the missing fonts, but ALL the fonts are missing in the font selection window.
    This was when I realized that the layers were locked.  I dont know if this had anything to do with it, but Ive never used layers before, so assume it is a connection.
    I tried opening a new document and there are no fonts available there either.  It says times, but you cant change it.  It is showing pink backgound like when fonts are missing, and just Os'.
    I opened illustrator to see if the fonts are available there, and they are, no problem.  It is just indesign that is affected. 
    Can anyone help?

  • My fonts are not showing up in CS6

    My fonts are not showing up in CS6, but they are installed.  How do I fix this?

    Please provide some more detail. Are you on Windows or Mac? In which applications are the fonts not showing? And what do you mean by "not showing" (provide a screen shot if possible)?

  • I'm not good with computers or software.  I'm trying to save a RAW Ai file I created.  When I currently save it, the color or characters/size fonts are not coming up in the saved version. How can I save, and have all of my information

    Not going with computers.  Trying to figure out how to save Ai RAW file with colors/fonts etc.  Currently saves, but does not have colors and font information.

    When you say "Colors/Fonts" are not saved, I'm not sure what you mean. How have you determined they were not saved?
    Also, not sure what a "RAW" AI file is. I assume you mean simply a native format .ai file.
    .ai will save all font and color information. It does not "embed" fonts, but it saves what fonts were used and will call the correct fonts when reopened (assuming fonts are available on the system).
    CC 2014 also has a "Package" feature that will collect assets (fonts and images) into a central folder for easy distribution.

  • My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

    Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

    How do I get my web pages back to original size? My fonts are all too large and keep reverting after I change them back!

    That has not worked. I do it and still it reverts. Isn't there a way to tell Firefox to just go back to default settings?

  • Fonts are not diplayed correctly in the Crystal Report Viewer control

    Post Author: Farid
    CA Forum: General
    Hello,
    I have designed a report in the Crystal Reports XI Designer (version 11.5.3.417) using the default printer. When I view it through the preview mode of the Designer, fonts are displayed like expected using the default printer driver.
    Now, I view this same report at run time in the Crystal Report Viewer control on the same computer with the same default printer. Fonts appear then differently they were in the preview mode : sizes are differents and some texts are truncated. It seems that the default printer driver are not used.
    Can anybody tell me if this behaviour is normal ? If it is the case how should I do to display a report in the Report Viewer using the default printer driver like I have specified it in the Designer.

    You may want to select the "no Printer" option instead, this will force CR to use a higher resolution.  Look in page setup, printer options.

  • My fonts are not working correctly

    Hello guys,
    I noticed today that most of my added fonts are not working. I use a lot of fonts that have a cyrillic subset which were working perfectly fine till 2 days ago. Now when I select a text field and try to change the font face to one of the added fonts, it changes the font face to whichever the default font is and renders the font selection menu to blank. I am really puzzled, the fonts are installed in the Fonts folder in Windows, and they were working perfectly fine till a couple of days ago. I havent installed any Fireworks or Windows updates in the meantime. I am working in Fireworks CS5.
    Cheers

    I wasn't sure about my shut-down-and-restart suggestion, but I still think it might be a good idea to clear the font caches.  Here are a couple links on clearing font caches for Windows and Adobe apps:

    You might want to supplement this with some research of your own, then give it a try.
