Fonts, fonts and more fonts...

Hi people,
I've been working with fonts on my ibook G4 (Late 2004) for about the last 8 months,in that time i've built up a considerable collection, about 6,500 to be exact, last night I was looking in my fonts folder (the one on my 'Computer' directory.
-(i don't keep fonts in my home directory as my
girlfriend shares the computer with me for work and
it's more convenient to have the fonts stored in the
central directory so she can use them too.)-
When I went into the font directory I was surprised to discover that there were in fact close to 13,000 fonts. It seems that the fonts in the directory had in some way been duplicated, I have no idea how that happened... (any comments?)
anyway what I'm interested in is now creating my own font sets. and was wondering what was the best method for doings so? (is there any particular software, plugin for an application etc.
I had come to the conclusion that maybe I should design the characters for the typesets in Adobe Illustrator (I have CS2 Pro) as it uses vector graphics (and font scaling uses the same principles.)
so
Is there a plugin or application available for this purpose, is there any open-source software available? and is it multi-paltform? (Windows, Macintosh, Linux etc.)
all help and comments are appreciated
Thankyou,
Peter.

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
Regards

FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.
This script will help by clearing the font cache and will test for corrupted fonts.
This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.
This script doesn’t solve duplicate font name, but clears out your font cach . It it will solve some duplicate font style name issues such as the one in the link below.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4306828#4306828
There is a pdf file explaining how to use the script and what it will do.
See attached files.

Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.

Fonts, fonts and more fonts. Which to remove?

I have a trillion fonts - and I don't need that many. What is the MINIMUM font set I can get away with? I have Suitcase, and I will have it activate fonts as needed - but I've got to trim down my system font list.
I've seen an older post that showed which fonts are needed - but I want to know what specifically I need for the system to work properly, for Safari to load and display pages properly, and for things to run right - but NO MORE THAN THAT.
I am pulling my hair out with pulldowns that have (literally) hundreds and hundreds of fonts.
Thanks in advance...

Has the issue with font licences and embedding fonts in a dynamic PDF been solved?

Hi all,
Can I check if this issue has been fixed in LiveCycle yet please?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3724557
Issue is that although LC lets you specify what typeface should be used for the caption/value in a form, it cannot discern the corresponding licencing requirements.
So in the case where even though a particular font isn’t used for any editable information – being set as the caption only – LC requires a font permitting embedding for editing, otherwise the font is not embedded at all and therefore is substituted for another typeface on a system where the font isn’t available.
Seems LC needs it's embedding requirements to catch up with the usage of type in a dynamic PDF, as in cases where the fonts bundled with Reader or system fonts aren't suitable, such as when a visual standard needs to be met, the user may not be overly keen on paying a significant financial penalty for editable font licences.
Thanks
James

Hi James,
I don't think that it the case at all. If the font has a license for enbedding then that is what happens:
I accept that some fonts come with expensive "embedding for editing" licenses, but Adobe's implementation is in line with the font industry's expectations.
I don't think this is a "bug" that will be fixed.

[SOLVED] TeXLive: Installing font package and updating font map fails

I am trying to install the newtx package, which is available here at CTAN [1].
Since I don't want to mess with my TeXLive installation, I am trying to do that as a local user only.
So I placed the package into ~/texmf/tex/latex/. , ran texhash on texmf/ to update my local ls-R, and so far everything works nicely; for example, the .sty files in that package can be seen:
$ texhash texmf
texhash: Updating /home/$USER/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
$ kpsewhich newtxmath.sty
/home/$USER/texmf/tex/latex/newtx/newtxmath.sty
Now, following the packages README [2], I need to update the my TeX font maps. Seems like 'updmap' is the right tool to do that for my user only:
$ updmap --enable Map=ntx.map
copy /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg => /home/$USER/.texlive/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg

ERROR: The following map file(s) couldn't be found:

Did you run mktexlsr?
You can delete non-existent map entries using the option
--syncwithtrees.
That's my problem: it can't find ntx.map, although I ran mktexlsr (which is texhash). So what to do?
1: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/newtx
2: http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/mirrors/CTAN … wtx/README
SOLUTION: The trick consists in placing all files into the necessary folders: *.map goes to fonts/map/newtx/, *.vf to fonts/vf/newtx/, and *.tfm to fonts/tfm/newtx/. Also, *.pfb needs to be placed in fonts/pfb/newtx/. *.enc files go to fonts/enc/newt/, and everything else remains in tex/latex/newtx/.

I really don't think that this makes a lot of sense as regards TeXlive; I have checked (with kpsewhich --var-value) if indeed all variables TEXMFHOME, TEXMFVAR, and TEXMFCONFIG are pointing to reasonable places, and indeed they do.
I have found this guide:
http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ … n/ch4.html
Although it is Debian, I figure one can easily adapt it. So I tried that, and placed ntx.map in TEXMFHOME/fonts/map/$SYNTAX/newtx/ntx.map . I wasn't sure about $SYNTAX, so I just tried it with dvips. This time, $ updmap --enable Map=ntx.map did actually work, and there were not errors:

Fonts - greek and roumainian fonts

I have a problem in copying a text (pdf) into a .doc document in Greek and roumainian.
In french, english, dutch, even gaëlic there is no problem.
Why do I in greek and roumanian ?
Thanks for some tips and help

Are you adding Greek and Romanian titles in iMovie? (This is the iMovie forum.)
That should work, as long as the font you select have Greek glyphs.

Mangal Fonts and Tunga Fonts in (MS Home and Student 2010) Word 2010 not getting converted into PDF

Why do I get a totally blank PDF file whenever I try to convert any (Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010, Version: 14.0.6029.1000) Word document file containing either Mangal Fonts (Hindi) and Tunga Fonts (Kannada) into a PDF file (by using Adobe Acrobat X Standard - English, Version: 10.1.4, Program File Size: 1790 MB, Complete/Full Version) after formatting and reinstalling all the necessary software / softwares (Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, Version: 20080414-031525, Program File Size: 9.08 MB)?

Any Word 2010 document file that has been converted into any PDF File unfortunately does not show either the Mangal (Hindi) Fonts or the Tunga (Kannada) Fonts.
The PDF file will unfortunately become/remain totally/fully/completely blank.
When I convert an Excel Workbook having the Tunga Fonts (Kannada) to/into a PDF File, some of the Tunga fonts in the PDF file are legible and some are unfortunately illegible (get superimposed / overwritten on each other).
Perhaps I may get the same result if I try to convert an Excel Workbook having the Mangal Fonts (Hindi) to/into a PDF File with some Mangal fonts being/becoming legible and the rest being/becoming illegible (getting superimposed / overwritten on each other).

My chronological sequence of steps to create a Word 2010 Document or an Excel 2010 Workbook:
I first create a Word Document File or an Excel Workbook File and save it by giving an appropriate file name.
Then I right click on the closed Word Document File or the Excel Workbook File in the file folder and convert it into a PDF by retaining the same/original file name.
The font list of Microsoft Word 2010 claims/says/states that both Mangal and Tunga are True Type fonts and also that these fonts will/would be used on both printer and screen.
In case if there is any text content in English in the beginning it will get converted into PDF only till/until either a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts.
The remaining English text content does not get converted into/to PDF the moment a Mangal(Hindi)/Tunga(Kannada) Font starts. If the entire matter is purely (100 per cent) in English text it will fully / completely / totally get converted into a PDF file without any problem.

Can we change font size and font type in reports

Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.

Somyac Font Zoomer ruined my font size??

I have a nokia n8 with anna. I recently installed font zoomer 3.20 full version. From there i notice a bug (wheneven in the photo gallery the options/exit buttons are in black instead of white making them impossible to see on a black background) so i uninstalled the font zoomer app.
once uninstalled i restarted my phone only to see that my font size had shrunk. Large font was now normal size. Normal font was now small size. and small font was now extra small size. I have tried re-installing and hitting restore font size and uninstalling font zoomer at least 15 different ways with no success. Along with messing with the font settings in messaging>options>font size and messing with settings>phone>display>font size with no success. And have also did the soft battery reset of holding the top button down for 10 seconds. none of this worked.
Is there any files or something I could delete or do to fix my issue without hard resetting the phone?? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Though the Hard Reset wipes everything from the Phone memory only,you may require to re-install some of the applications that are installed on your Memory Card because the attributes if any that gets created in the Phone memory to run these gets erased too.
Most probably, re-installing the Firmware sounds a better option, though a Back-up is always recommended...

How to restore fonts back to original fonts?

My macbook pro bar menu fonts become AAAAA... how to solve this problem ?

You'll find the instructions for installing just the fonts from the original OS X disk at the bottom of this document:
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
Before you do that. Follow these steps.
1) Delete all fonts from the /Library/Fonts/ folder, and the Fonts folder in your user account. Leave the System's Fonts folder alone.
2) Restart the Mac in Safe Mode (restart and hold down the Shift key). Then restart normally. This will clear the cache files in your user account, and Font Book's database. The latter is important since some of the fonts you had installed were likely corrupt. If they're corrupt, Font Book's database also gets hosed. Once that happens, the only fix is to clear it.
3) Now use Pacifist to restore the fonts from the OS X installation disk.

Upgraded to 5.0 and now more fonts aren't showing up correctly

I had a previous problem with a colon not appearing correctly on websites and instead, I got FF 1A. Initially it looked like FF IR but FF 1A is the unicode or UTF font for that being it is a wider colon than normal.
I downloaded every font set I could find, even things that are odd shaped things I couldn't possibly ever use and the colon problem was taken care of, but then certain things in email started showing up with an FF 1A, or something else for that unicode and now that I've upgraded to 5.0, a lot more websites are showing these instead of the actual letters, numbers, or punctuation marks.
I even have Fontfinder installed but it isn't much help. I never had this problem until version 4.0.1 I don't know what else to do. I have Unicode UTF-8 for the character encoding because that is what fixed the colon problem, but now I'm having trouble with more characters.
I can't read the boxes, like I could for the colon FF 1A, but on this website
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Man
Before each episode there are several boxes and each has a different set of numbers and letters and I zoomed in as much as I could and still can't make them out "魔女エスパー The Witch Esper" I can't tell if the first one is 98 54 or 9B 54. But there are several of these on this website, and I don't know what other fonts to try and install.
They are messed up in Internet Explorer, but most of them are just boxes with nothing in them, but I know this is support for Mozilla Firefox only and I don't really use Internet Explorer.
I can't seem to get online when someone in "Live Help" is available and there isn't a phone number to reach anyone in Support so I am very frustrated because these problems weren't happening before version 4 or 5 and I can't find any more fonts that would help. I believe "Wingdings" are automatically installed with Windows-XP, but these missing characters are supposed to be letters, numbers or punctuation marks, and they aren't showing up correctly, so windings wouldn't matter anyways and I am at my wits end.
I have never had a problem with any computer until now and I even reformatted and did every single update available for Windows-XP and even the ones that are still coming out.
For some reason below where it says
We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system. When I click on "Show Details" under "installed plug-ins", it shows these
* Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.0
* DRM Store Netscape Plugin
* DRM Netscape Network Object
But I don't know why and I doubt that is the problem. You can't even get Netscape anymore.
It's so frustrating because it is messing up reading email and doing surveys that I didn't have this problem with before using versions 4 or 5.
In my "Windows\Fonts" folder, I have 375 files over 41 MB so I don't know what to do. I'm about ready to throw the computer out the window being I can't respond properly to an email or do surveys, if I can't read the letters.
4.0.1 was was a clean install after I had to reformat a couple weeks ago but 5.0 was an update that I just did tonight.
I thank everyone in advance.
Susan

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
Susan

Select the fields with the mouse, right-click one of them, go to Properties
and set the settings you'd like them all to have.

How can I decrease my font size in mail? I have it set to small and yet it is enormous, letters running into one another. I have rebooted and more. Something is over riding my setting. Any suggestions?

You haven't mentioned which mail it is,
If it is G-mail go to settings --> general tab--> default text style , you can change your font size & then save at the bottom of the page

Hi Stephan,
this solved placing both animation on one page. Make sure all your fonts are called out in the <head> section like for example:
<script>var __adobewebfontsappname__="dreamweaver"</script>
<script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/quicksand:n3,n4:default.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Dreamweaver does this automatic for you. If you are having a font conflict I recommend under command (if you are using dreamweaver)
Clean up the font Tag and add only the ones that you are using again, sometimes they accumulate.
Good Luck.

Fonts, fonts and more fonts...
