Fonts won't display in CS3-- particularly Photoshop & Illustrator

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide for this question.  Recently my laptop with my installed softwares crashed.  Luckily I was able to recover most everything and restored it on my newer iMac. 
One of the few software that didn't play nice was CS3, so I had to re-install it.  Now, many of the fonts won't show up.  I'm doing a logo for a client and I need some fonts but fonts from the following- New Peninim, Corsiva Hebrew, Ariel Hebrew and/or Raanana-- don't appear after you engage the Type tool.  What shows up in both Photoshop and especially Illustrator is a square box with nothing in it.
I've gone to MANY of the help columns on line and followed 4 or 5 different "solutions"-- nothing seems to work.  I even, against my suspicions, called the Adobe customer service and the best they could offer was to post a question here if my answer was not apparent.
So, does anyone have an opinion on the matter?  Bearing in mind that I've put fonts in the Adobe folder, reset characters and a few other things since yesterday. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Andre

If you have the fonts installed and activated and they are not functioning, you may need to clear your font caches.
Are you using any font management software?  Can you confirm that the fonts are active?  If you're not aware of any font management, open up Font Book (applications -> Font Book) and see if you see the fonts in there.  If they are in the list, are they active?  If they are not in the list, you need to add them there (I think just by dragging them from the finder) and activate them.  Not being a Font Book user I'm not sure, but you may need to restart Illustrator to see the newly activated fonts.
If you don't have the fonts active, your type will be displayed in the default font (Myriad, unless you changed it) which likely doesn't have the hebrew characters, thus all you see is the squares indicating missing characters.

  • Din font won't display in pdf file since December update to version 11.0.10

    I upgraded my Acrobat to version 11.0.10 just before the Christmas break. Din font is my corporate typeface and I used it yesterday to create an invoice in Mac Pages only to discover that I cannot view the pdf as the font won't display in Acrobat. And to add to the problem my clients who are using the same version of Acrobat are unable to view the font either on the pdf. It all worked fine before the upgrade.
    What can be done to rectify the problem? I need to fix this asap.
    This error message appears when I try and open the file "Cannot extract the embedded font 'DQPJNL+DIN-Medium'. S"
    The DQPJNL bit changes depending on the file being opened but essential Din font won't display.

    Hi,
    Please check if DIN font is embedded in your PDF by going to File > Properties > Fonts
    If no, then you might need to go to 'Tools > Print Production > Preflight'
    Then, open the PDF fixups section, click on Embed fonts fixup and choose 'Analyze and fix button'.
    Please check and let me know if you are able to view the font now.

  • Font won't display -- strange behaviour

    Hi all,
    I have a keynote presentation that I prepared last year, and it worked fine. I went to open it today, and the font does not render properly -- all the letters are compacted together and not legible. If I change the font size, I can read it again (going from size 36 to 18), but if I enlarge the text again, the same thing happens.
    I emailed the keynote file to another mac in the house, and it opens just fine on that one. I tried restarting, and same thing. Since I need this presentation for tomorrow, I just went through and changed the font to a different one, and that works just fine.
    When I open a different keynote file, that one displays correctly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Boris

    I see the same problem. Arial and New Times Roman are affected. The rest work fine. They behave as though the widths are fixed. Resizing the same fonts in Mail work fine, but found the same problem in Pages. Font Book validated these fonts. Also, in the Inspector, Text Spacing has no effect. I don't have an answer yet but I have a question. Did your other Mac on which it worked properly, have an earlier version of either iWork or OS X and are you having trouble with Arial and New Times Roman also or a different font?

  • Font won't display or print following upgrade to Reader 9

    Since "upgrading" the other day to Reader 9, Monotype Corsiva will no longer display or print on my .pdf documents.  I had no problems with the font displaying or printing prior to then.  I tried copying the font and pasting it in the Fonts folder, but that didn't help.  Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

    I'm having exactly the same kind of problem. I downloaded
    Adobe Reader 9 and i havent used Monotype Corsiva before,
    but for my projekt it is simply vital ;/
    Looking forward for any help solving the problem

  • Font won't display once installed in MS Apps

    I activated Baghdad and Al Bayan fonts in the Font Book for both my account and the computer. However, the font's don't show up in Office Applications like Word and Excel, how do I activate them in these apps?

    Are they in ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts? If not put them there. Then relaunch your MS apps.

  • Arial Black Font won't display

    My website uses Arial Black on all of its menus. Firefox 4.0 converts this to Arial. It works fine with earlier versions of Firefox, IE and Chrome.

    Not even a workaround to be honest - makes arial black extra bold (horrible looking) on all other browsers. Need to pinpoint FF4+ through jscript or php and apply css for FF only. Why they have done this is beyond me. Pain in the ass

  • Windows Fonts Will Not Display In Photoshop Elements 9

    Hi,
    I have a new Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer and have just installed Photoshop Elements 9. When I use the "Horizontal Text" tool and click on the fonts drop down list to select a font, it only lists a small number of fonts and does not display all the standard Windows fonts such as Arial, Times Roman, Verdana etc which all display perfectly fine in my other applications such as Word, Excel, Publisher, Notepad etc. Has any one got any ideas as to why all my Windows fonts are not displaying in the drop down list? Is there a special setting I need to configure for Photoshop 9 to see all my Windows fonts?
    Regards,
    Paul.

    Hi 99jon,
    Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I am using a Laptop and you were spot on. If I use the UP/DOWM cursor key's I can scroll through and see the list of all my fonts ok. I was originally trying this by using my scroll up/down wheel on my mouse and for some reason it will not scroll the list (I did not think to try the cursor keys) so thanks very much for your help!
    Paul.

  • Cs3 preview looks good but won't display some pictures online.

    Using cs3.  My pages work fine in display but some .gif and .jpeg won't display once published.  Same in ie and mozilla.  http://www.cinnamonridgehomes.com/homeplans.html  Any ideas?

    There should be 10 plans listed with pics on each.  I am only seeing 4 pics though all the plan names are there.  Same result on 3 different computers.  Are you seeing something different?

  • Muse won't display Arial font

    Arial font does not display in Muse, and when I try to select it as a web font, it is unavailable.

    Symbolic fonts really need to be embedded, you can't rely on local display.

  • Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?

    Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?
    I'm not 100% sure but i may have had flash open when installing, i then uninstalled the font and then reinstalled the font. I even tried going from an OTF font to a TTF font.
    No luck.
    Do I need to do some sort of font cache clearing?

    I'm using Adobe CS6 Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator on MAC OSX

    Yes. It's rare, but some fonts do not play well with Flash. Flash seems to have a more strict method of evaluating a font that can be imported. This is, in my opinion, probably because Flash needs to create a faux version of a font when it is imported. There may be some information that is either missing or not acceptable to Flash in a particular font and so Flash won't allow it to be used - even if you're not going to import that font.

  • Some fonts are not displayed correctly

    We are developing an application where in the font for the whole application can be changed from a particular font dialog.the problem is that although it works fine for majority of the fonts, rectangular boxes are displayed for Impact, Marlett, Symbol, Webdings, wingdings font.
    i am doing a
    GraphicsEnvironment ge =GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); for getting the fonts and displaying it in a JList.Is there any way of suppressing these fonts from being displayed to the user ?

    Yes these fonts have one feature - see http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4279855.html
    so you can check them by next way :
         GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.
    getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
         Font[] fonts = null;
         if (ge != null) {
              fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
         for (int i=0; i < fonts.length; i++) {
              fonts.canDisplay('a');

  • Store won't display search results, tabs dead

    Search results in iTunes Stoe (11) won't display all items (i.e. it reads "Total: 301 items" at the bottom of the list but only 16-20 will show up (depending on my luck). This is even true of, for example, a podcast show page itself. When I scroll down, there are empty lines where episode titles should go, but if I go all the way to the end, they suddenly disappear and the "Total: 301 items" jumps to the end of the 16-20 item long list.
    Categories within search results won't display either (i.e. I can see the "All," "Books," iTunes U" list on the right side, but clicking on each does nothing).
    Going from "Details" to "Ratings and Reviews" also requires clicking the tab and then reloading the page. My connection is fine, this has been happening for at least the last month at home, while out, using wifi and when drectly connected by old timey cables. Updated this morning, still no change.
    Help?

    This article has some tips
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    (particularly under Troubleshooting on a Mac)
    If that does not help...  As a test, to narrow down the cause, you may want to create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane.  It can be Standard or Admin.  Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).
    Try running iTunes from the new user account, and accessing the iTunes Store. 
    If the problem does NOT occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be something in your primary user account.  For example, it could be user preferences settings, or something related to your iTunes library, or a background process that runs in your account that is interfering somehow. 
    If the same problem does occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be related to the overall OS, the iTunes application, or maybe network settings that block access to the iTunes Store.
    Either way, you'll be able better focus additional troubleshooting.

  • Select characters/symbols won't display on iPod 160GB Classic since restore

    I don't know if anyone has come across this yet or not. My new iPod 160GB Classic crashed after 1 week. Since restoring, I've noticed that certain characters/symbols won't display in artist/title names on my iPod that used to display just fine before the restore (symbols like + and ÿ). The restore function says that it restores it to the 'original factory settings,' but obviously not. I have tried restoring again, but that hasn't solved the problem. I've tried getting the track names from Gracenote (thinking maybe it was a font-specific thing), but that didn't help either. I know it seems petty, but I'm not sure how to solve it. The latest update has been applied to my iPod and I have the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas? I believe the crash was caused by a third party software which has since been removed. I have not experienced any problems since.

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • Some Language fonts no longer display correctly

    I have a few language fonts, specifically Russian and Church Slavonic, which I have been using for years without any problem. They still partially display correctly, but there are some characters which display a different character now. For instance, in the Church Slavonic font, there are many characters with diacritical markings, where those accents etc. are typed after the character and backed up over the character. They are not displaying correctly anymore. Plain Russian fonts as well have certain characters that aren't even recognized now. I am using PopChar Pro, and though they display correctly in its list, when I click on them, the wrong character is display in the text. Does this have something to do with Unicode? I use these fonts mostly in MS Word and Finale.
    Thanks for any help on this topic.
    Sima

    Yes, it is true that these fonts do not display
    correctly in Finale.
    Last I checked Finale could not do Unicode, so it may be another problem. If it can do Unicode, you should be able to use Lucida Grande and the Russian keyboard layout. If not, you should be able to use a font with CY after the name with the Russian keyboard. You might want to ask in the Finale forums:
    http://forum.makemusic.com/
    Is there any sort of application
    that can fix old fonts to be Unicode compatible?
    It would be very complex I think and require an expensive font editing program like FontLab.
    On another note, are you aware of whether Unicode
    includes Church Slavonic (I suppose it would be in
    the same category as Old Slavonic)?
    Yes, it does. Just look at the Cyrillic block in Character Palette. Or here:
    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf
    However you won't find all glyph variations -- that will depend on the font. For an example of Slavonic Unicode you can see the last item on this page:
