Force font smoothing when open

Hi all,
I am trying to make a portofolio pdf, which has some fonts embeded.
Is there any way to force user's Acrobat Reader to turn on font smoothing when the file is opened?
Fonts are so ugly without smoothing, I don't want to let users to see them.
Thanks in advance.

Hi George,
Yeah I hope its unusual to turning the smoothing off.
For some reason my Reader have that turned off as default, I just afraid possibility that users see that ugly fonts.
OK, I'd never mind.

  • Missing fonts warning when opening a Keynote file

    I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 on a Mini Mac. Having searched for an answer to the ubiquitous "Missing Font" problem when opening a Keynote file, I was wondering if upgrading to the latest version would solve this problem. Unless it does, we would have to think twice about upgrading the software. A lot of users seem to have the problem with version 3 too. Does anyone have a solution to this? The presentation runs perfectly well, but the warning message is annoying and doesn't look nice when presenting to clients. HELP!

    I've experience this same problem multiple times. There is a way to get rid of the troublesome font, thereby getting rid of the annoying message. I may be glossing over a step or two, but it goes something like this:
    (1) In the Finder, right click on the Keynote file and select "Show Package Contents"
    (2)Locate the index.apxl.gz file and open it. The file exands -- then open the index.apxl file with Textedit (or Word). Throw away the gz file.
    (3) Do a search and replace -- find all instances of the troublesome font name and replace it with a non-troublesome font name, such as GillSans
    (4) Close the text file.
    Opening the Keynote file should now proceed normally. Note: Better practice this on a dummy file until you are sure everything works. I imagine that if you muck up the index file that the orignial Keynote file might be toast!

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • Font errror when opening some FrameMaker files

    When opening some FrameMaker files in Windows 7, my clients are getting the following message:
    The FrameMaker Console provides these details:
    The "Arial Black Bolded" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    The "Arial Black" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    The "Arial Black Bolded Obliqued" Font is not available.
      "Arial Black Heavy" will be used in this session.
    Even if you click OK on that message, and save the file, the same message appears the next time the file is opened.
    My clients had this same problem when we upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 3. I found a resolution regarding the Windows XP OS on this forum, but it does not apply in this case.  My clients have FrameMaker 9.0.4 installed and Windows 7 64-bit (we had 32-bit Windows XP).  I appreciate your help.

    Art - Thank you for your quick response to our problem.  Here's what my client replied:
    The problem with changing the “Remember Missing Font Names” setting is that it causes all font substitutions to be accepted permanently. FrameMaker is currently making inappropriate substitions, for example so that our manual titles are not italicized as they should be.
    We appreciate your help.  Many thanks.  Melissa

  • Font smoothing when using JWS

    Hi, I've noticed something odd while developing a desktop app.
    When I run it via the webstart link, it looks fine, but when I run it inside netbeans or double-click the .Jar file the fonts look non-smoothed and no where near as good. Whats causing this, and is there a way around it, as I'm actually considering not using JWS for distribution.
    I'm using Java 1.5 and on an apple mac and Netbeans 6
    Thanks,
    Scott
    EDIT: Heres a screenshot of with and without JWS deployment of the exact same application. One thing I havn't mentioned, I'm using Substance for the 'skinning' effect, not sure if thats anything to do with it, but its the same version in the /lib folder
    Screenshot

    Ahhh...I found the solution
    adding
    -Dswing.aatext=true to the JM parameters.
    Why isn't that the default? non-AA'ed text looks crap.

  • Fonts missing when opening a PDF

    When I open PDF's in Illustrator CS3 and I don't have some of the fonts used in the document it replace them. But what if I just want to get text as a vector curve and not editable for writing something else?

    Marc,
    Ask the provider to outline fonts before saving as PDF. Otherwise, the fonts are embedded as type.

  • Disable force-space-shift when opening Apps/Docs?

    I like it sometimes, and others not, so for me the solution would be greater control over whether I my space shifts to the Applications space, of which I just opened.
    As it is, when I open Safari, while in Space 1, and Safari is set for Space 2, I'm automatically forced to Space 2. I don't always like this. Is there some right-click menu to open an app without going to it's space?

    Me too post. This is driving me nuts after having used Virtue for a long time on Tiger (where you can turn this 'feature' off). Most frequently I just want to open a new terminal on a new desktop, it used to be a matter of cmd-tabbing to terminal and hitting cmd-n, now I have to zip to the last desktop with a terminal, make a new one, then go into spaces (or use cmd click on the title bar) and drag it to the new place. PITA.
    I do like that Apple wants to make things simple, but removing basic configuration options has perhaps gone a little over the top in Leopard. I guess its easier for the (politically) to add stuff in later if there's a loud cry than to support tons of stuff no one uses untill the end of time.

  • How can I turn off the Typekit font check when opening files in InDesign

    Adobe InDesign CC, Version 9.2.1 x32
    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Every time I open an existing file in InDesign which is using a font I have installed on my PC I get the following message:
    "No matches were found on TypeKit, click "Find Font" to replace with fonts that exist on your computer"
    I'm able to click on Find Font and then select the font that TypeKit is unable to find - can I stop it checking for this as I have the font installed on my local machine?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Adrian,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Some users have reported an issue in the current version of InDesign which can temporarily deactivate installed fonts. Please note that this is actually unrelated to Typekit; it just happens to occur at the time you see our logo in the missing fonts window.
    The InDesign team is still investigating the factors which trigger this situation, but the basic issue is this: the Missing Fonts dialog causes fonts which are managed through Extensis Suitcase and FontExplorer to not auto-activate correctly, or for managed fonts to even be visible in the application after upgrade.
    In both cases, the InDesign Missing Fonts dialog appears to override the Font Management tool dialogs that allow users to manage fonts within the Application.
    If you use Suitcase Fusion, there is a simple configuration change needed:
    1. close the Missing Fonts window
    3. go to the Type menu and select "Suitcase Fusion 5".
    3. From the submenu, choose "Library" and then check "All Libraries" so all fonts can be auto-activated as needed
    4. from the Type menu, select "Suitcase Fusion 5" again, and then "Check Document’s Fonts" to activate the missing fonts,
    If the font is being managed by Suitcase, it will find and update the fonts.
    In FontExplorer, if your managed fonts are not visible in InDesign after upgrading to InDesign 9.2
    Go to FontExplorer/Tools and select
    1. Clean System Font Caches (this will require a system reboot)
    2. Clean Application Font Caches
    On non-Mavericks systems, you will need to de-activate and then reactivate font protection.  Launch a terminal window and enter
    sudo atsutil fontprotection -off
    Then enter
    sudo atsutil fontprotection -on
    Relaunch InDesign. your managed fonts should now be visible and auto-activation should work.
    The fonts can always be activated from within the Font Management software itself, even with the missing fonts dialog open.
    The InDesign team is looking into the issue to determine the root cause as well; our apologies for any inconvenience it causes in the meantime.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin

  • How to maintain font appearance when opening a PDF?

    I have a single PDF which I need to import in to illustrator. The fonts used in the PDF are not available but I don’t need to edit the text so hopefully no worries – I just need to add a reference number and export out to PDF again.
    The problem is that illustrator substitutes the font. Is there a way for it to just outline the text instead?

    Is there a way for it to just outline the text instead?
    Yes, there is.
    Instead of opening the PDF in Illustrator, start a new document then place the PDF. Then flatten transparency. This will give you outlined text with the appearance of the original embedded font.
    A drawback to this method (other than losing live text) is that you can end up with a significantly larger PDF file if there is a lot of text. This is because vector path representation is not nearly as efficient as using type to form text.

  • Font shift when opening PC FLA on a Mac

    Hello all,
    I recently switched to a Mac, only to find out that all of
    the text in my old Windows FLA files has now been shifted slightly
    when I open it on the Mac. I've googled and found some posts about
    this issues, such as here:
    http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?p=720146
    But I haven't seen any resolution to the problem... so I
    thought I'd post here and see if anyone here has found a way to
    solve it. Any idea?
    Thanks!

  • Unexpected font warning when opening pdf

    This is a bit frustrating. I just completed designing a form and it code and suddenly the document now pops up a
    "The font 'SchoolHousePrintedA' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display." warning every
    time the document opens up. This warning shows up whether its on a mac or windows.  I can only assume that
    somewhere in the document, something has a reference to this font. The strange part is that, although this font is
    on my mac, I've never actually used it and I certainly didn't use it for this particular document. The font is not listed
    in document fonts and I did a quick text search of the raw file data and didn't find any reference there either (though,
    perhaps its in the byte data).
    At this point I am stuck as to how this might be fixed, or where I might look next to possibly try to fix it. Any
    suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • In Firefox where do I find the setting: "Use LCD font smoothing when available"?

    I know there's a setting for this somewhere, but it's not in the options dialog under any of the tabs. Also, it would be nice to be able to control this via CSS or JavaScript. The issue comes up as FF seems to add a stroke to icon fonts when viewed in OS X machines.

    That in not a setting in Firefox, but in the Windows display (appearance) settings.
    If ClearType is enabled in Windows (and this is the default in Windows 7) then Firefox uses it automatically.
    *Control Panel > Personalization > Window Color and Appearance > Fonts > "Adjust ClearType text"

    See also:
    *Anti-Aliasing Tuner: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/
    If there is a problem then try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    You can also try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.

  • Individual fonts not recognized properly when opening a MAC FLA file on PC

    I'm getting a missing font warning when opening an FLA file
    even though I have all the necessary fonts. The problem is that
    while I have MyriadPro-Bold, MyriadPro-BoldIt, MyriadPro-Semibold
    on my machine, they only show up in Flash as the Typeface names of
    Myriad Pro (first two), and Myriad Pro Light (last one).
    I don't want to have to go through an entire file and apply
    bold and italics to anywhere they exist, so I'm hoping there is a
    way to map these properly. Adobe Type Manager shows all these fonts
    properly when I open it, so I don't understand why Adobe's version
    of Flash can only see the font family and not the individual fonts.
    Hopefully someone out there has had the same problem and can
    help me figure this out.

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
    The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
    Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
    SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

  • Mavervick OSx with font smoothing error. Crashes Photoshop

    I keep getting the error message "For the Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click Appearance, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller." I go into preferences and into general but there is no setting to turn off text smoothing for a specific font. I'm in osx mavericks and all it says is "use lsd font smoothing when available" and when I uncheck it, the error message in photoshop still pops up. Can someone help please?

    That isn't an error message, just an information message.
    And what does the long, detailed crash report say?
