Fonts error

hi i keep getting losts of fonts errors like :
xboard: no fonts match pattern -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
which fonts package do i need to install ?
thanks
ed

check first if the following command returns an output :
# xlsfonts -fn "*"helvetica-bold-r-normal"*"
Then you can install these packages if you don't have the font installed :
- SUNWilof
- SUNWxwcft
- SUNWxwoft
- SUNWxwfnt
- SUNWxwpft

  • Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

    Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
    Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?

    Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
    It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

  • Font error in file with no fonts

    Here is an oddity... running PS CC 20140730.r.148 on an iMac running OS X 10.9.4. Fonts are being managed by Suitcase Fusion 5.
    As stated in the subject, I am getting a font error in a file where there are no fonts, let alone any layers other than the background.
    Here is a screenshot of the offending file and the layers palette to show the supposed lack of fonts.
    This has happened on a couple of images now. Any thoughts?

  • Java Font Error Message???????

    I am in desparate need of help. I am trying to print screen from my Explorer browser from a SCT Banner financial program so that I can document steps in setting up university grant accounts. I keep getting this error message on my desktop and it closes the browser. The computer techs at the university are unable to solve this problem. It seems to only happen to those who run Windows XP.
    I need a solution asap.

    Has the vendor certified their app to run on the configuration that you are using?
    If so it is their problem.
    If not it is yours.
    You can try loading a more recent version of java but that might not fix it and might make it worse (ie other things might stop working.)
    Font errors are usually due a combination of video card, video driver and OS. Sometimes updating the video driver can help.

  • PDF font error

    Getting a Font Error when opening a pdf file with Adobe Reader.
    All the newest versions of Reader, OSX etc.
    The error says missing font Univers-Light
    Sometimes Reader crashes.
    It turns out this is an Adobe font that I have to pay for???

    It's a bit more complicated than that. Some fonts are messed up in 10.6.7. Read this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142

  • Cannot extract fonts error message even after fonts outlined

    will not allow me to attach screen shot from grab. Image not allowed is error message

    Grab saves files to tif format, you need a web format (jpg, png, gif) to post to these format. Rather than grab use preview app.
    preview application >> file >> take screen shot >> save as file type png
    Now the cannot extract fonts error, could be fixed possibly by an illustrator free update, don't know the verison you are on
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=Macintosh
    Reset your illustrator your prefs.
    Does this happen to all files, or is this just a certain file. You may have a font in a symbol or opacity mask.
    Save a copy of the document, keep deleting items, unitl the error goes away. This will identify the problem item, of which we better help you by narrowing the variables down.
    When fo you get thgsi error, upon opening the file?

  • Getting CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular when adding text box or text callout

    Just updated Acrobat X Pro on Mac to v10.1.10
    Now if I try to add a text box or a text callout (text box with arrow) I get a popup error saying "CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular"
    Any ideas much appreciated.

    Hi oscar18,
    This is usually caused due to corrupt/ invalid font libraries.
    On your Mac, open up 'Font Book' and follow the instructions below:
    Hit Cmd + A to select all fonts as shown above
    Click on File > Validate Fonts
    This will open up the Font Validator that will scan all your fonts and will notify you if there are any corrupt fonts. If you do see any corrupt font libraries, please remove/ delete those fonts from your computer. Then try opening Acrobat and check.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • Missing fonts error even though fonts installed

    Hi,
    At work we use Gill Sans as our corporate font. These fonts have been installed in Windows (and I can see them in Control Panel > Fonts). Yet, when I open a file with these fonts I get a Missing Fonts error with Gill Sans font missing. My colleagues don't get this error, and I have checked that the same fonts are installed on their machines. Can anyone help me?

    Hi,
    - Is your font appearing in the 'Find Font' dropdown list?
    - Is the document you're trying to open one you created yourself or is this coming from some other office?
    (If so I'd advise to get a packaged document so you can use the exact fonts initially used and see if that makes a difference)
    - What version of InDesign are you running and what version was the publication created in?
    It could be that your font is not the exact same one that was used to create the document.

  • Font Error Message While Editing a PDF File with Acrobat XI Pro

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat XI Pro running on Windows 8.1
    I scanned a PDF File and then went to "Tools - Text Recognition - In This File - Edit - OutPutStyle ClearScan etc etc" and got the file into "Edit Mode".
    When I replace a "number/digit", the replacement digit font is "very small" and there is a "Yellow Triangle" error message which says the following.
    "The Original Font Fd 3168 is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font "Minion Pro" font in its place.
    Anybody know how to overcome this error message/problem OR alternatively how do I change the FONT of the whole page to some other Font?
    Also how do I find a "similar or equivalent font" for Fd 3168 font that Adobe Acrobat says, is not available.
    TIA

    Hi Bill.  Thanks for replying. 
    Unfortunately, I don't have the option of using the original DOCX file.  The author lost it, leaving only the pdf around
    I'm using AA XI 11.0.06.  Upgraded this morning.  That's running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
    I get the boundary boxes by clicking on the 'edit text and images' tool, and they appear.  Or don't in this case
    I only need to change a few characters in the file.   However, even just opening up the file in AA and then saving, the "A = " "text" gets deleted.
    Could it perhaps be something to do with embedded or missing maths fonts on my machine?  I mean, I don't get any warnings, just can't do anything with the A and AB italic bold text.
    Thanks!

  • 'Font contains bad/Widths' and 'Cannot find/create font' errors when saving pdf as Other Reduced Size PDF

    I am exporting .indd files from within Indesign as pdf files, opening in Acrobat Pro XI. I have no trouble creating the initial pdf file, however, when I go to Save Other > Reduced Size PDF I get error messages. Depending on the file, I receive either the message, "The font (Myriad Pro) contains bad/Widths" replacing the text with dots or "Cannot find or create the font (Helvetica) Some characters may not print or display properly" replacing text with dots or boxes.
    My confusion is that the file is exporting to pdf from Indesign without error, it is only when I try to Save Other> Reduce Size PDF that the error occurs.
    Also, it is only occurring on five out of 120 pages. These same fonts are on other pages and I have no trouble at all with exporting or Reduce Size PDF.
    More frustrating is that I have never had this problem occur in all my previous versions of Acrobat using the same process and typefaces.
    I am reaching deadline on this and cannot find a solution other than to reload Acrobat 9 and ditch this upgrade.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I, too have experienced this issue. Upon export from INDD CS6, I see the error message "The font 'IXWIPX+SourceHanSansSC-Bold' contains bad \Widths."
    The only items on the single-page InDesign document I'm trying to export are copies of a one-page PDF (which was extracted from a longer PDF, arranged into a cover format). I can provide all files as necessary. The longer document that the one page came from also experienced an error when I tried to print to Adobe PDF. While I still get a PDF of the cover on export, despite the "bad \widths" message, it won't print from certain machines. I get nothing (not even an empty shell file) from the attempt to print the larger document (where the cover elements came from) to PDF.
    I can deal with these issues with a few unorthodox workarounds, but wanted to offer comments or volunteer to help test fixes if possible.
    For the record, I'm really not enjoying Acrobat XI. It doesn't seem to have much by way of new features (at least not that I use), and some of those I used most in version X are gone or less functional. Common fonts like Times New Roman are often not found (even though they are definitely on my system); I have a much harder time editing text through the new interface, and I have a few other small gripes—some that I don't have time to get into, others that wouldn't really matter, except that they weren't a problem until I "upgraded." Just sayin'.
    Thanks for listening.

  • Fonts error occurred in Acrobat 7.0

    We have been using Acrobat Professional 7.0 Mac version. We had an issue below while working on the PDF.
    1. We have received 2 sets of PDF for the same chapter with comments. One is from Author and rest from PR.
    2. We need to export the comments from Author PDF and Import the same into PR PDF.
    3. We need to collate these comments and make it as one PDF.
    While doing this process we had a fonts issue raised as the attached screenshot indicate for you. The same issue was occurred repeatedly if any PDF has opened through this Acrobat.
    Even the same error occurred after we reinstalled the Acrobat Professional 7.0 on the same system. We didn’t have a problem if the similar PDF file could open in other system. Kindly help me anyone to resolve this issue.

    Sorry, I do not have access to Acrobat 7. This could be a bug in Acrobat 7. There were so many changes in the product over the last 10 years. Reader 11.0.7 opened signing for non-Reader-extended PDFs. Could you switch to Reader 11.0.7, which is free, for your signing?

  • Unknown font error in Adobe reader

    Hi Team,
    We have developed a PDF form (interactive form) using Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2
    When we open the form using Adobe Reader 7 or later, we are getting a pop up stating - "Adobe Reader has found component 'Chinese traditional Fonts' and its size is 7.88 MB. Do you want to proceed with the download of this component?".
    Apparently, we did not use any chinese fonts on our PDF form and the reason behind this error is still clueless.
    Our main restriction in this case is the end users count for this form is more and they do not have permisiion to dowload the Chinese component. Kindly address the scenario / clarify our questions.
    1. Is there any way to locate the chinese font used in the form (if any) - We have tried Preflight option under Adobe Acrobat to genrate a font report and that did not help.
    2. Any alternate way to re design the form to avoid the chinese font inclusion
    3. Any particular property of fields to be checked for the chinese character inclusion - We have already treid the Form Propoerties -> Fonts under Adobe Acrobat, under which all the fonts used were ANSI encoded.
    If required we would be able to share the PDF form, please let us know the mode of sharing for the same.
    Looking forward to hear a helpful solution.
    Note: The error pop up did not come when opened with Adober reader versions X & later.
    Cheers,  Kavi

  • "Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

    Hi all
    I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
    On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
    On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
    - uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
    - installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
    - looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
    - changed my system language to English (USA)
    Other CS4 softwares work.
    What can i do?

    See this page for some additional information about this error.
    > I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
    You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.
