Fonts not appearing in CS3 program font lists

Certain postscript fonts (ZapfDingbats and Rubino Sans) are correctly installed in Windows 7 and available to Microsoft programs (Word and Excel) but not to Adobe programs. That is, they do not appear in any of the CS3 Design Standard applications (PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator) font lists when the application is open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the fonts and CS3 to no avail. I have added shortcuts to the Common Files/Adobe/Fonts directory to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I assume by PostScript fonts you really mean Type 1 fonts. (TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much "PostScript fonts" as Type 1 fonts are!)
There is a known problem with the CS3 applications with all Type 1 fonts under all Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions when such fonts are installed in the Windows System Font directory. The problem is fixed in CS4.
The workaround is to copy all the Type 1 font files (both the .PFB and the .PFM files - each Type 1 font has one .PFB and one .PFM file) to the Creative Suite's private font directory. Depending upon the CS version, that may be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Restart the Creative Suite programs you are using and the fonts should appear.
You may also copy said fonts into the private font directories of the individual applications (typically a directory path ending with the node name Fonts.

Postscript fonts not appearing in CS3 Help!?

I have quite a few postscript fonts installed on my Windows XP Professional 64-bit computer, but none of my adobe programs are showing them as available. I tried using my old Type manager deluxe, but it won't let me install it on a 64-bit system. I used the windows font installer to install the fonts. How do I get my creative suite to recognize the fonts?

Seems to be a known issue with 64 bit systems. I've seen it myself with
some fonts. You can place them in a private Adobe fonts folder and try
that but I've just taken to using the TrueType versions since my Type 1
fonts all came with TrueType also.
OpenType is the way to go for any new fonts, though.

Activated fonts not appearing in Illustrator?

I'm running Illustrator CS on a Dual PPC G5 running OS 10.3.9. I have an OpenType font active (using Linotype FontExplorer to manage fonts) and can use the font in all programs except the Adobe ones (Illustrator and Photoshop). Why would the font not appear there? I need it for a logo that I have to manipulate into a vector graphic, but I can't do anything if it won't appear in the type menu. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

Christine,
Did you by any chance create the fonts yourself? OpenType fonts shouldn't cause any more trouble than Type 1 if they are correctly made and named.
If their names show up incorrectly or if they don't show up at all, it's probably because someone did something wrong in Font Info when he was making the font. If you make use of the Build Names thingummy in FontLab Studio it can save you a lot of this kind of trouble. I have done quite a bit of this kind of work - adding Icelandic characters to fonts and that sort of thing - and find that it's absolutely essential to do things right if you want to avoid problems in FontExplorer.
It can sometimes happen too that fonts are made specifically for Windows, in which case they may need to be edited and re-saved for Mac before you can use them so that they work perfectly. You can often get a Windows font to work well on a Mac but you should keep your eyes open for glitches all the same.
And another thing, you may occasionally need to restart Illy when you've made changes to fonts in FontExplorer. This doesn't happen often these days but still crops up occasionally all the same.

Acrobat 9 Professional Does not Appear in the Programs list

One of our users does have Acrobat installed, and can open and use it. However, the shortcut that is in his start menu brings up the Installer. Acrobat does not appear in the installed prograns list in Programs and Features (WIN7). I don't see an Adobe group in the start menu, or when searching the task-bar. the Desktop shortcut links to the correct folder/acrobat.exe.
Any reason why this program would NOT show up as having been installed, when it very clearly IS installed and working correctly?
(Also, not sure if I'm in the right 'community', please redirect me if i'm in error.)
thanks everybody,

Hi Gabriel,
Please try repairing Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check.
Also check if Acrobat has been updated to the latest patch i.e. v9.5.5

Why is Font not showing up in idvd font menu?

hi everyone, I'm new, not really, but sorta. anyway, I'm using idvd 08 to create a dvd, I started with a magicidvd and then clicked create project and have done a lot of changes, some submenus, etc. The bggest issue I have now is that I really want to use a certain font, it is a truetype font, it is activated via Suitcase Fusion, but it does not appear in iDVD's font menu, it does however appear in the font menus of other apps. I have restarted and even created a whole new project to no avail. any ideas are appreciated.
A second less important question is this, how do I make it so that my "play" button on the main menu plays the movie instead of it going to the submenu containing "play" and "scene selection" ?
Ok, figured that menu question out. Thanks.
Sorry guys, new question, how do I get the bullet next to a button center with the text?
Hard to believe I help so many mac users, huh?

mine seems to be reversed, selecting right from that label menu puts the bullet on the left side of the text
That is working correctly, then. You are telling it where to put the LABEL. Not the button. (So selecting "right" puts the label to the right of the button.)
vtavera wrote:
still not centered though, it's that bullet that looks like a paint splat, I think that may be how it is supposed to be, though no other bullets center either, maybe its the font? futura medium, there's a lot of space under the type, like it's away from the baseline.
Most likely it is the font. Some fonts have their baseline set VERY low, so something that is "Centered" horizontally actually looks way off to our eye.

I have one more question now, I attempted to burn the dvd last night, but get an error that says "Project Error - There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project." I get an ok button, and sometimes I get an "Open DVD Map button, which takes me to the map view, but I see no problems.
I have not personally encountered any errors yet, so I do not have personal experience with the error-reporting mechanism.
However, my understanding is that viewing your project in DVD Map view, will display error messages next to where the error occurs in the project.
So turn on the DVD Map, and take a look at every single menu closely. I expect you will see the error in there somewhere.

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue.

The course I did to gain OCP certification in Oracle Database 11g does not appear on the courses submission list on the website of pearson vue, I sent an email to [email protected] from < email address deleted by moderator >, without an answer in 7 days since 01/28/2015, the email is below, the title of my course is in Portuguese. What should I do in this case ?
Dear Oracle.
I am sending this email because recently I passed in the exam 1Z0-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II, which is the last examination necessary to acquire the OCP Certification. However, in the path to the certification I need to prove that I participated in an Oracle Official Training.
Searching for the course on the pearson vue site, I have not found the course name on the list. So I am sending this email with the course information required for certification. I attended to the course in college FIAP (http://www.fiap.com.br/en/conheca-a-fiap/parcerias-estrategicas/), in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from March/2010 to March/2011. Accessing the link above is possible to verify that the educational institution is an Oracle Partner. The title that I got was "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
In this email I attached a copy of the FIAP Certified Course (front.jpg certificate, certificate back.jpg). I’m also sending the data from my profile in the pearson vue site (Pearson VUE - My profile.pdf), and my scores in the exams for OCP certification (1Z0-051.pdf, 1Z0-052.pdf, 1Z0-053.pdf ).
If you need any further information just let me know and I will provide.
Please acknowledge this information and grant me the OCP certification (Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional).
Regards.
Italo Moisés dos Santos.
Oracle Testing ID: < deleted by moderator >

Sorry, I expressed myself badly.
When I access http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/course/ and start submission process of the course, in the first step “Select the track for which you have completed a certification requirement” I selected the option “Oracle Database 11g Administrator OCP”, in the second step I selected “ILT = Instructor Led Training”, but when I got on the third step “Which course or requirement did you complete?” I have to choose the course name that I did, the course name that I did does not appears in that list, so I do not know which one to select, even having at the end of the form the option “Other ...(Course or requirement is not shown above. Please enter title below.)” the course name I did is in Portuguese/Brazil, the name is “MBA em gestão de banco de dados oracle” in Portuguese, which in English would look like "Graduate in Oracle Database Management".
I sent an email to [email protected] containing the information that I found necessary to obtain certification.
But if I have to do the process in the pearson vue site, should I put the course name in Portuguese or in English ?
Only the email I sent is not enough ?
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english !

Noscript does not appear in my add-ons list in firefox 18

I know the Java plugin is disabled in FF 18 but I tried to install the Noscript add-0n. It says it is installed but after I restart FF, Noscript does not appear in my add-ons list. Windows XP

Thanks ideato but that's the problem. Noscript is not in the extensions list. I use the terms "add-ons list" and "extensions list" interchangeably. The author of Noscript advises me that the extensions/add-ons list manager must be corrupted.

Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? Thanks!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
Any ideas?

Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

New fonts not appearing in Pages

I downloaded and copied some true type fonts into the /Library/Fonts folder, however these fonts aren't showing up in Pages (and Keynote, too). Adding them to ~/Library/Fonts didn't work. Just in case, I repaired disk permissions, but they still aren't appearing. The fonts are showing up in the list of fonts in Word, however. Does anyone have any insights on this issue? I'm using Pages 1.0.2. Thanks.

I was going to reply earlier, but I didn't have a chance to play with my computer to figure things out.
I still haven't had time to do so, so forgive me if this is incorrect.
Fontbook is a program which Tiger and (I believe) Panther have for handling fonts. By dragging fonts into the folders manually they may not actually be 'activated' in the system still.
Open Fontbook from your applications folder and see if the fonts show up there. As an aside, double clicking the font in the finder should also give you a small thumbnail of what it looks like and the option to install it. If you don't see anything in the thumbnail, it is rather pointless to install it.
(I will agree with everyone who states that Fontbook is quirky, I know it is. I still haven't found an easier way to install fonts than just doubleclicking on the font file. So much easier than browsing to several obscure folders.)

Type 1 Fonts not appearing in CS6 apps

I'm running CS6 on a windows 7 machine. I'm using Extensis Suitcase 11 for WIndows (I know, I know, its old). I have both Type 1 fonts and Open Type fonts installed. The Open Type fonts appear on all apps including other windows apps such as Office. The Type 1 fonts appear in all other apps EXCEPT CS6 apps (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.). I've tried clearing out both the system cache as well as the Adobe cache and I've also cleared the font vault. After doing all that and restarting, the problem was fixed...or so I thought. After logging out at the end of the day and logging back in today, the problem is back. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Is it the Suitcase 11 app that might be causing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Actually there was a known bug in the CS3 applications (but not in the CS4 versions of the same applications) whereby Type 1 fonts installed in the standard Windows font directory (nominally C:\WINDOWS\FONTS\ ) do not show up in the CS application font menus for both Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions. You have two workarounds:
(1)     Upgrade to CS4 (or very soon, CS5) and the problem does not occur.
(2)     Install a copy of the .PFB and .PFM files in the private font directory of the CS3 applications.

Fonts not appearing in InDesign

Hi,
Does anyone know why some fonts won't appear in InDesign even though they are in my Fonts folder on Local Disk? I also tried putting a copy in the Fonts folder in InDesign, but they still don't appear in the program.
Thanks,
Jen

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for all of your responses. I apologize for the late comment; I left work early on Friday and didn't get to try deleting the Adobe Font lists. Interestingly enough though, yesterday (Monday) the Arial Black regular showed up in both Photoshop and InDesign but in the list under Arial. Arial Black still only shows the italic option. I swear though that when I scanned the font lists in both programs to make sure they weren't out of order some place else, that it wasn't there, and even in InDesign, it highlighted my text to tell me I was missing the font. When I opened the same file yesterday, it no longer showed the highlight. I tried restarting the computer on Friday too though, so I don't know what the difference was between Friday and Monday, but the Arial Black regular is there now, so I'll just go along with it.
Thank you!
Jen

Fonts not appearing in illustrator after installing

I am installing fonts in windows 7 by right clicking on the file and clicking install. After successfully installing the fonts, they aren't showing up in illustrator (or photoshop). I checked my windows font folder and the new fonts are indeed there. The newly installed fonts do work in other programs like Office. I am using CS3. Any ideas?

I remember fonts update inmediatly in Illustrator/photoshop as soon as you install it (at least in CS5 they do) but I'm unsure in CS3
Have you tried restarting Illustrator and see if the fonts are there? Also, could there be a chance that the fonts are corrupted or not supported by your version of Illustrator?
Just some thoughts.
