Having problems with Telugu and Chinese fonts

I am in the processes of finishing a DVD that is translated into several languages, including Telugu and Chinese. For both of these languages, I'm having problems getting some characters to render correctly. In Telugu, for example, I have instances of a single character that is rendering as two characters, though other characters are fine.
The font I'm using is the Gautami font that comes with Windows 7. It is reported by Windows as having an OpenType layout with TrueType outlines. Has anyone seen this sort of problem and solved it?

Thanks, though I don't want to have to pop for a font that may or may not work. It would be nice if Adobe could just fix the problem, since it stretches across almost all their apps. However, I discovered that Flex does render Telutu text correctly, however. It can be done, Adobe, because you've done it. So I wrote a little Flex app to read my subtitle file, walk through all of the subs and save them as png images along with a FAB image script. So now I can import that into Encore to get the subtitles to display correctly (my Telugu translator verified that they are all correct now) but I still have the problem with Telugu text in the menus.
I hope someone from Adobe is reading this and will feel properly embarrased by the following rant:
I'm about to use paint.net to render the Telugu text for my menus because Photoshop can't do it correctly, either! @_@
I also wrote a Flex app for editing and translating subtitles and converting from srt to the Encore format because Adobe can't be bothered with a some simple importing of industry standard subtitle formats! @__@
And while I'm on the subject, is there any possibility that Adobe might actually treat the process of creating DVDs as something other than a bone with little-to-no meat on it that it throws to its users?
I admit that I couldn't do my work without Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects, but sheesh! I don't really have the time to be writing software to make up for features that Adobe couldn't be bothered to include and struggle with Encore not rendering fonts correctly on top of it. I need to sleep at some point.
End of rant.

    My wife has been having problems with Safari, and many third party software and malware programs infecting her Mac Book Pro. I have tried to reset Safari but it keeps coming back, taking over Safari, changing defaults, start pages, and search engines, Etc.
    Is it safe to use programs like MacKeeper, who keeps send my wife's computer message and alerts, or should I just wipe the drive and start over?

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

    I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

    Here's an explanation of what those processes are. 
    Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
    I'm curious about what you did to uninstall just those.

  • Having problems with OSX and mail with the servers?

    Having problems with OSX and the mail servers?  Seems to be happening more and more?

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    You may have multiple entries.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

    Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
    see > How to identify iMac models
    Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
    My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
    On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.

  • Problem with Finder and Menu Fonts (uppercase A)

    Hello --
    I'm having a problem with fonts. All the characters that appear under icons in the Finder or in the menu for any application appear as uppercase As with boxes around them. There appears to be one uppercase A for each character that should be there. If I click-pause-click to edit the filename in the Finder, the text appears normal during the duration of the change, and then reverts to uppercase A with a box around it again. All other operation of the computer is normal.
    I was watching and downloading video files in iTunes when the problem appeared. When I pressed ESC to exit full-screen mode, the Finder said that my start-up disk was almost full, and I saw the font problem. Upon investigating, I discovered that my start-up disk was completely full (and the download had failed), so the first thing I did was move some video files to an external drive, which freed about 5 GB.
    Since freeing the space, I've tried the following to fix it, in this order:
    1. booted from Tiger CD to run Repair Disk from Disk Utility
    2. rebooted from the boot hard drive to run Repair Disk Permissions from Disk Utility
    3. run through Disk Warrior
    4. created a test admin user and logged in as that user
    5. removed font cache files using terminal
    6. booted in safe mode, logged in as myself, and then rebooted normally
    None of these actions has had any effect. The computer is still operating normally, except for the characters that don't display correctly.
    I'm running 10.4.6 on a Titanium Powerbook 500 MHz with 512MB RAM. A few months ago, I replaced the internal hard drive with an 80GB Seagate.

    Hi again, zoobieboots —
    I appreciate your initiating a new thread. Your post here helps to make the situation much clearer than in bmewolf's thread — particularly in terms of what you've already tried. Thanks again.
    A few initial thoughts —
        (a) As I was trying to suggest previously, you're apparently operating (after moving some files to an external drive) with ~6-10% (?) free disk space. Particularly given that you were working with large video files when this appeared, File fragmentation would be expected. While I haven't heard of this particular symptom resulting from fragmentation, that would be a concern to me — particularly since this immediately preceded the problematic behavior.
    I've read some good reports about iDefrag, but haven't used it myself. A demo version is apparently available for HDs < 100GB. But you'd presumably need to free significantly more space first (you haven't actually said whether 5GB or ?? is the total available now). Having never experienced severe fragmentation, I don't fully understand its consequences — but another participant may be able to explain this.
        <b>(b) You don't mention trying to troubleshoot potentially corrupt or incompatible fonts (or font caches), also as outlined in the other thread. As I suggested there, The X Lab's "undoing Font Book" FAQ is a useful resource in this.
        (c) Although I agree it may be an unsatisfying "solution," an Archive & Install did work for bmewolf in the case that you've indicated matches yours closely.
    I hope one of these suggestions is helpful. Please post back to discuss your progress.
    Regards,
    Dean

  • AirPort Express -- having problems with music and stereo

    Anytime I connect iTunes to my home theater system, the sound is very very quiet, and there is a slight "buzz, or humm" noise in the background, almost as though the Line out cable isn't connected all the way (obviously it is...). This system has worked when I first set it up, but now all of a sudden, it is having these problems...any suggestions or solutions? Thanks

    I don't know what's going on inside the airport express, but I also loose various qualities of the sound when I'm streaming. Typically, if I have set my amplifier to apply some virtual surround mode using 4 speakers, two of them will go dead whenever I stream over the express unit. I tried using the mini-toslink out of the express, which changed nothing. I'd be interested in a technical explanation of what that thing is doing to the signal. A humm is typically a ground loop, probably more likely to come from within your home theater system. Can you try connecting the airport express line to another input channel on your audio system to check if it is a ground problem with the input you're currently using?

  • Having problems with effects and having to unlock panels to get them to work?

    I am having problems getting panels to work... the scrolling function is locked.... but when I undock the panel so it floats freely the scrolling function comes back--this happens with the effects and project panels (prbably others as well).... then sometimes they will stop working and I have to redock the panel to get it to work!   This is a real problem at the moment. When I put a video effect on a clip on the timeline the down arrow will not function... so I can open up the effect and make the settings I want. I have a .3pg file from a camera phone that needs to be rotated! 
    I am running CS4 with Matrox card.  By next week I will be upgrading to CS5... but my computer needs to upgraded...will be doing this next Tuesday.
    My comuter properties are as follows Intel Core 2 Quad CPU  Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 2.39GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit operating system
    Dave S

    Okay... so I closed Premiere and restarted it.... no the down arrows work... but there is a pregnant pause before the effects function opens or when I close it there is a pause. Not sure why1 This isn't heavy intensive stuff I am doing.
