Fonts Not Compatible with Windows 8

We've had some problems with fonts not working in Windows 8. Are all OTF available via Adobe Type campatible? The files we're having problems with have the extension of .PFB. They are visble via c:Windows/Fonts but do not work in our applications.

Windows 8 (as well as Windows Vista and Windows 7) should be fully compatible with all Adobe OTF (OpenType) fonts as well as Type 1 fonts.
Note that Type 1 fonts require two files per font, the .PFB file with the fonts' outlines and the .PFM file with the fonts' metrics. Such fonts are installed by right-clicking the .PFM file and selecting Install. Note that the .PFB file must be in the same directory as the .PFM file for the installation to work.
Assuming that you have the fonts already installed, they should work with all classic Windows applications. However the Type 1 fonts are not recognized by Windows WPF applications as well as those explicility written for Windows 8's new so-called modern application interface. Applications such as Visio have not supported Type 1 fonts in years. We also know that a bug in Windows causes Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10 to hang if they call for a font that has the same name as a Type 1 font you have installed.
Perhaps you provide more information about what fonts you have installed with what applications that don't work or are not recognized?

Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8. Are you planning on fixing this problem any time in the near future?

Hey kriscro2,
Thanks for the question. iTunes 11.1.4 is compatible with Windows 8, as outlined on the System Requirements page:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 8 computer, see this resource:

Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
that it should be of high importance that these issues are
resolved.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
and Vista?

Hi cptv8
I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
early adopters.
You stated:

You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
clicking
here.
Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
can.
Sincerely... Rick

Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

Panasonic Virera TC-P60S30 NOT compatible with Windows 7

I just bought the Panasonic Viera TV model TC-P60S30, from BEST Buy at the excellent price of $1,099. This is a fine TV - easy set up, terrific picture and sound, lots of connectivity. This is an excellent deal and I'm very satisfied except for one very disappointing and misleading claim by Panasonic.
Panasonic claims this TV has the functionality to stream pictures and music to the TV wirelessly from a Windows 7 enabled PC. In fact an answer to my question about this from Panasonic Answers now posted on Bestbuy's product page (see link below) says this functionality is definitely available via the TVs DLNA feature.
http://reviews.bestbuy.com/answers/3545mha/content/popup.htm?bvpage=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.bestbuy.com...
Panasonic's above answer is contrary to my experience so far. As things stand, my tentative conclusion is this TV is not compatible with Windows 7 for DLNA functionality. Here are my reasons:
After a very aggravating 48 hours of trying, I can't find a way to configure Windows 7 to stream pictures and music to the DLNA functions of the TV.
The TV's user Manual on page 34 states, "The DLNA control function of Windows 7 is not supported with this TV."
Tech Support at Panasonic told me they do not yet have a way of enabling DLNA streaming to this TV with Windows 7.
Microsoft's web-page of Windows 7 compatible TVs, does not list this model of TV.
The package this TV came in, does not bear the "Windows 7 Certified" compatibility logo.
There are a lot of people out there in the blogosphere discussing their problems with this issue on a number of Panasonic HDTV models.
If anyone out there has any experience with this issue, I'd dearly love to hear from you. In the meantime, if you are looking for a TV with DLNA functionality fully compatible with Windows 7, I'd recommend you look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you don't care about the DLNA feature, or if you are able to use it with some other Operating System, then this TV is an excellent buy.
Oh yes, and I think you guys at BestBuy should check this out. If you agree with me, then Panasonic deserves a gentle knuckle-rap from you for their boo-boo in the above linked answer on your web-site. I know they are up to fixing this. Maybe a DLNA firmware upgrade for this TV is in the offing?
Cheers,

Yes, Tversity is one nifty product. It meets all of the streaming goals I was trying to acheive. And it looks to work well, so far, with Windows 7. So this is fine as far as a third party solution goes. And NoNoBadDog definitely deserves a chocolate star for suggesting this work-around solution.
Nevertheless, Panasonic still deserves a rap on their vaporware knuckles because their product should work as claimed, right of the box, as it were, without having to resort to an unrelated third party piece of software. Ordinary mortals are simply not comfortable with this kind of work around solution.
I stand by my opinion - this TV is not compatible with Windows 7.
(By the way NoNoBadDog, I have to worry about DLNA, because Panasonic built the TV with DLNA as the only doorway in for streaming from a PC. That's why I didn't click on your kudo icon)
Cheers!

Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7

Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7. How do I upgrade my version?
Thanks,
John

Where did you get that information (other than Win 7 is not listed in the compatibility list)? I have been using AA9 on Windows 7 for several years (it is a 32-bit system). Did you try to install it or some other issue crop up? You may need to be sure you install the updates, but otherwise it should work. Even folks with AA8 have been successful on Win 7 (at least that is what they have reported), though they are likely to have some minor problems at times.
My Win7 came with Acrobat 9 when Win 7 first came out and has worked fine. If you have upgraded OFFICE to 2010 or later, then you would only be able to print, not use PDF Maker.
That being said, it is still a good idea to go ahead and upgrade. AA9 is the oldest version qualifying for the upgrade to AAXI.

Is Elements 8 NOT compatible with Windows 7???

I have been working with this program all day, with a book at my side making my first album to share. I re-edited one photo and it locked into a "editing in process" and it went down hill from there. Now most things just don't work. I can't switch back and forth to Organize, edit, albums etc. It freezes. I've lost count on number of times I've rebooted. Now it won't even open. I loaded the program early Aug and have just been playing with it; it worked fine on pratice projects. I'm beginning to think this 8 is not compatible with Windows 7. My book says it will upload fixes. Should I just reload again? Geez!!!
Probably just answered my own question.............reload!!!!!

I have just bought a new computer - Win7 - very fast - lots of memory, and PSE8 is a real dog compared to my experience with PSE5 on my old computer with XP. Here are some examples:
clicking the arrow to open tab groups has a big delay - about 4 sec (immediate on PSE5)
<F11> full screen takes 5-10 sec at least (immediate on PSE5)
even applying a star rating in full screen takes 3-5 sec of delay before I can go to the next frame
I have turned off all auto-analyzing options but no real impact to above.
Anyone experiencing the same? This is very frustrating when earlier version is responsive and newer version is not.

I would recommend Acrobat 10. You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR. It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

Attention! Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 is not compatible with Windows 8.1

Attention!
Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 is not compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Update (pre-installed operating system is Windows 8.0) .
More specifically, after update for Windows 8.1 all the drivers (including the latest) Intel (R) Iris (TM) graphics, Intel (R) Iris (TM) Pro graphics and Intel (R) HD GRAPHICS installed on this laptop does not support out of the sleep mode.
This has been checked many times by different users laptop Flex 10.
Any comments from Lenovo are absent. By Lenovo specifications for this notebook there are no conflicts with Windows 8.1. It is not true!
It is unclear why Lenovo has admitted this deficiency.
I think Lenovo Flex 10 is a mistake that will cost the company Lenovo.

Mine came with Windows 8.1

F4400 not compatible with windows 8

I just bought a new laptop with has Windows 8 on it and when I went to play the cd for my HP All in One Printer nothing happens.
This is version 13.0.0 HP Deskjet F4400
Will I be able to get a new CD or a link to add this printer to my laptop
Thanks
Judy

Hello @Gram23 , welcome to the community
I read about how the installation disk you have for your Deskjet F4400 series printer, is not compatible with Windows 8.
That is okay! You can download and install your printer from the website. Click this link, select which F4400 you have and choose Drivers and Download from there. When the download completes, the installation will start automatically, just follow the instructions on the screen until its completed.

I hope that helps you
