Freehand telling me fonts (that are installed) are not.

Hi there
I'm new to this forum but have a very important issue that I desperately need help with. I had to do an archive install recently as my machine wasn't opening any programs as a result of a crash during a software update. The computer has since been in many ways better and faster than before, all except a font issue with freehand mx (11.0.2). The problem is this: whenever I open a document it tells me that several of the fonts are not installed. I use 'font book' as a type manager and all the fonts are active within the program. Illustrator and Photoshop have no problem reading the same fonts that Freehand tells me are not installed. I've tried reloading Freehand a few times and reloading the fonts too. I downloaded the freehand update which didn't help either. I have quite a few fonts active but for some reason it tells me that about 30 or so are not installed which they obviously are. This is the first time I've ever had an issue like this with freehand having used this version and it's predecessors for a number of years. I run leopard 10.5.8 on my machine. I use illustrator and freehand a lot however most of my work is still in freehand so this potentially posses a very large problem.
Please can anyone offer me some light on this matter.
Thanks

Hi Mark
Thanks for your help so far,
Unfortunately freehand itself is telling me several fonts, some new ones but even very straight forward ones like verdana, Trebuchet ms, windings etc. aren't installed. If I open about 70% of previous work it says the same thing. This also happens if it's a new document entirely (some fonts are not in the list). All the fonts show up in Photoshop and Illustrator however. I tried reloading the fonts again and reloading Freehand and the update just to make sure.
I'm still very stumped

Subject: Freehand telling me fonts (that are installed) are not.
OK this info helps, Al.
So, create a new Freehand document and type in some text and choose the problem fonts from the font list. If these show up OK in the new FH file, than there is a corruption in your old file somewhere. If not, try these fonts in other applications to make sure they indeed work.
What I would do is create a new FH file at the same size and specs as your old file. Then copy/paste the art from the old one onto the new one and see if the fonts show up.
If not, then try the non-text elements only along with the text blocks that do show up correctly. The worst that can happen is copy paste the old text into the new file and reformat it to the fonts that wouldn't show up before. Basically using a clean, uncorrupted file.
Let me know what happens.

  • Otf fonds are installed, but not recognized by Windows XP

    I moved InDesign CS3 to a now notebook (Dell Latitude E6500).
    After a quiet installation, everything looked ok at first glance.
    When opening a document which I worked on yesterday on the old Notebook (Dell Latitude D800, 4 years old), the Myriad Pro font was missing.
    In the Windows fonts directory, the files are there.
    Doubleclicking on such a font brings an errormessage
    C:\Windows\Fonts\MyriadPro-Semiboldit.otf was not a valid font.
    InSDesign CS3 V5.0.4 does not list that fonts.
    all other fonts are listed and are working.
    I tried something like installing fonts manually, reinstalling InDesign, install the latest graphicdriver but nothing helped.
    Currently I am unable to work with Indesign on that notebook.

    The problem is solved now.
    On installing Linotype fonts I had the same problem,
    so it could not be on Adobes side.
    Finally it turned out that Dell's graphic drivers for that notebook are malfunctioning.
    Interestingly I found this information on a user forum at Dell's homepage. That entry was more than 4 weeks old but Dell still allows you to download just one graphicdriver which is not working properly.
    Maybe others have the same problem, they should download the driver 178.08 from the website www.laptopvideo2go.com.

  • Loops are installed, but not in Loop Browser

    Hi All!!
    I have just bought the four (newly packaged) GarageBand Jam Packs. I was so impressed with the demo "song" Victory (Full), that I have decided to use those loops for a project I am working on.
    The "Victory" loops all play in the loop browser (all 137 of them) when I have "Victory (Full)" loaded for playback in GarageBand.
    But.......
    When I start a new project, the Victory loops are not available in the loop browser. This is rather perplexing for me.
    What do I need? I need to find a solution to see these loops and maybe others that are missing (but not missing).
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rodger GW

    Yes. The demo song is in D, and I have ensured that I have set the new song to be in D.
    I have also trashed the preferences, trashed the indexes, rebuilt the loop browser by dragging the loop folders from all sources (sources being those defined by the install script), and ensured that the Keyword Browsing is unckecked and I have reset the keyword layout.
    The only thing I have not done is the laborious task of importing each of the 137 Victory files into the the track window then translating each individual part as an Apple Loop. The reason for this is two fold: 1. I am on the lazy side of life and think there should be a quicker way; and 2. I have checked the other files contained in Library -> Audio -> Apple Loops -> Apple -> Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra are available in the loop browser under the Jam Pack 4 and the Loops Pull Down Menu.
    I am very unsure of the next thing to try.
    Rodger GW
    PS I have even tried to have those loops from the "Victory (Full)" file be selected as favorites. They now reside in Home -> Library -> Audio -> Apple Loops -> User Loops -> SingleFiles, but do not appear in the Favorites tab in the Loop Browser in any new project.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • A plugin that is installed but not used, does it load?

    if a plugin is installed (can be found in the "about plugin" drop down menu) can it affect PS performance or cause problems even if it's not used?  does it load with PS?
    thx

    sorry I kept reading it as:
    >Yes its loaded if its not loaded ,  then you would not be able to use it.
    but it looks like you meant
    >Yes its loaded , if its not loaded , then you would not be able to use it.
    although I would think that it's similar to a script in that it often calls external code, but only after you use the plugin.

  • Pavillion g6-2212sa Windows 8 64 bit No Audio devices are installed

    Hi all,
    I followed the steps under the HP support site to use the Windows troubleshooting guide to fix problems with the audio:
    http://i.imgur.com/p7BDHqX.png
    I updated the driver to the latest driver, audio plays but there are no devices installed
    http://i.imgur.com/IWNVef0.png
    Downgrading the driver to the older version doesn't fix the issue either.
    I also used the HP recovery manager to ensure I had the original version installed.
    I don't have a previous restore point to go back to.
    I had BIOS version F.25, followed advice in this thread installed driver
    sp55036.exe, and also flashed my bios back to f.22 (which was when around the time I purchased the laptop)
    Any advice/ help appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    Hi, this is my first time here, so your feed back was great; however, I do not like and am trying to take a different route because refresh means my personal setting and other additional softwares that were installed will not existed. 
    Also, firewall blocks every software, update, or any devices that are needed to be updated, reinstalled, restored, etc.  I have been going through window/systems 32 or 64 and choose the right updating software.ex in order for my system to work.  Refresh will remove all that I had accumulated for softwares, devices, updates to work through firewall.
    Do you have another solutions??  It is urgent because my audio device window 8 notebook pc is lost somewhere, and I am not ablbe to find location of the reinstalling audio device.
    Look forward to hearing from you,

  • How to find Oracle drivers are installed in WAS

    Hi
    I am doing Proto type application using webdynpro.I want to create tables in Oracle database,because WAS is installed on Oracle.Now i went to Visual Admin tool and checked the "JDBC Connector" properties.I tried to create the new 'DataSource".While creating DataSource ,it is asking me DriverName,Driver ClassName,Version.I have following questions:
    1.How to find the wheather Oracle drivers are installed or not?if not where to get these drivers?
    2.Once DataSource is created ,how to test wheater it is working fine or not?please help
    Thanks
    Prasad

    Hello Prasad,
    Don't create a new datasource, but create a datasource alias for the existing SAP<sid>DB datasource with your new name.
    <u>(remember to restart the j2ee cluster)</u>
    Then in your application instatiate the datasource and use your create/update/select statements.
    <b><i>Once this is set up test from your java code as follows:</i></b>
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); 
    DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/YourDataSource");
    or.. DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:jdbc/YourDataSource"); <b>(can't remember which of the 2 worked)</b>
    if this throws a NamingException, then your alias doesn't work, or perhaps you forgot to restart the cluster.
    After this executes successfully, use the datasource freely.
    Connection con = mySource.getConnection();
    con.executeQuery
    con.executeUpdate
    con.executeStatement
    ect...
    And forget about oracle, sapdb, informix, db2, or whatever drivers. This makes your application portable and independent from the DB layer.
    Please feel free to reward points if this solves your problem.
    Best regards,

  • Trying to print fonts that the printer doesn't know...

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what happens when you try to print a font that the printerdriver does not know?
    I made an application for a client which printed ok at my company and behaves very strange with the client (some parts are not printed). The only difference I can find between this version and a previous version of the same application(that does work with the client) is that i have set a font before a Graphics.drawString() call.
    What happened?

    No an old copy of the printer was listed. I changed to the correct one and all is fine. Thanks.
    I wouldn't have noticed the discrepancy without your help.

  • SAP NetWeaver and SAP ERP Central Component 6.0 installed or not,how to fin

    Hello Friends,
      I would like to know that in my system whether
    <b>     SAP NetWeaver  and SAP ERP Central Component 6.0</b>
      Installed or not?How to check whether these are installed or not?
    and where can i Find in the system?
    Regards
    Preethi

    Kinldy make  clear cut query before you look for an answer to that!
    To check for the WAS-J2EE Stack installation - kindly use the following link to access your WAS j22 Start page "http://hostname:5XX00" where XX will be the System No. for SAP System.
    Incase if you want to find out that you have a EP installed: goto:-
    "http://hostname:5XX00/irj"
    For XI , you can go to "http://hostname:5XX00/rep"
    Incase the links work properly the software component is installed.
    PREREQUISITE for the above CHECKS:
      1) The system number should be correct.
      2) The Fully qualified domain name should be used for the hostname.
      3) The Software components and the J2EE Stack should be operational.
    (ON the SAP SERVER)On OS level --> you can Go and have a look for the following directories existence --->
      1)  usr/sap/SID/DV*.../j2ee,
      2) usr/sap/SID/DV*.../SDM
    This means that you have atleast the Java Stack installed on your SAP Server.
    Next in the task manager(WINDOWS) / process level(UNIX) you can check if you have process "jlaunch process under the sidadm owner".
    In SAP Frontend-GUI :
    You can login and go to T-Code ST11 and check for the log files
    dev_disp, dev_dispatcher, dev_server0, dev_jcontrol, dev_bootstrapID.......,
    these file will give you info regarding the J2ee stack and its components....
    Hope this helps you...

  • Palm Desktop Quick install will not start and has no solution

    When starting quick install, i get informed that 'an unidentified programme wants to access my PC' its the quick install .exe , however when i grant the programme safe i get informed that palm desktop quick install has stopped working and i will be notified if there is a solution.... which inevitably there is not! Any idea's?
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    barrybaillie,
    These warnings sound like the Vista's UAC kicking in. If this is the case, you should know that Quick Install does not work in Vista.
    The downloadable Desktop 6.2.2 for Vista has a replacement to Quick Install that does work - but the Desktop itself is truly terrible and loses many other functions (Expense, NotePad, VersaMail, colour-coded events, Birthdays and Anniversaries) that you may have come to expect from your Desktop.
    If your current Desktop is otherwise working as expected, you should know that an alternative to Quick Install already exists on your machine and this does work on Vista. The easiest way to access it is to right-click the program you wish to install, then  > Send to... > Palm Powered Handheld. This is a shortcut to the program instapp in the Palm folder.
    An installation window will pop up (a UAC confirmation *may* pop up and can be dismissed) showing the chosen program ready for Hotsync. At this point you may also Add other programs/files. Hotsync when ready.
    A further alternative that I understand works with Vista is the freeware Pilot Install (  http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/simplyinstal​l-pilotinstall.shtml ) and which bypasses Palm's software entirely.
    Hope this helps!

  • My fonts that are installed in Font Book are not showing up in Microsoft Word. Can someone help me fix this problem?

    Hello!
    I am needing some help. I own a Mac Book Air with OS X 10.7.5. This computer belongs to the school district I teach for, so I do not have permission to do a huge wipe that would uninstall programs such as Word. When I first got my computer, I added all my fonts. I did this by putting them into a fonts folder. The fonts were not all showing up in Microsoft Word, so I was told to use Font Book. All of my fonts show up and are installed in Font Book; however, they do not show up in Word. I have restarted my computer. All the fonts are validated. I have tried almost everything I could think of after researching answers online. Another problem--my bullet points are messed up. When I click the bullet button, instead of an open circle it's an open rectangle. This doesn't concern me as much, but I thought it might help as a clue as to what is wrong. The fonts also do not show up in the Format > Font box.
    Also, I want to point out that my colleagues, using the exact same computer, network, etc, are able to download and use all the fonts. They have tried to fix mine, also.
    Any help is much appreciated! Maybe there is some way to wipe out my fonts and start clean?
    Thanks so much!

  • I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw)

    I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw here.)
    Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

    I was confused by this statement
    It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
    OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD.  Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them.  There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD.  Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
    I would do three things.  First I would create a backup, backups are important.  Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD.  Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
    Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?
