How can I substitute fonts (permanently)?

I'm using InCopy CS4 with remote designers. They send files. I open them and am presented with a list of missing fonts.
I install these fonts, but some of them have slightly different names than what our designer used.
All I want to do is tell InCopy to substitute my fonts, preferably permanently. So I click the "Find Font" button to see a list of those fonts.
It *looks* like I have the option to "Replace With," but the "Change" button is grayed out. When I click "Change All," it appears to substitute the font I've chosen for *every* font.
Still, when I view the document in Layout, it has not substituted anything.
Bottom line: How can I tell InCopy to substitute certain fonts in the doc with certain fonts on my machine?
Thanks!

Gah, font name disparities between Macs and Windows are the worst, especially when MS and Adobe are thrown into the mix. I'm sorry I don't know how to fix that problem, but I've heard it before (and I've run into it before on my own network).
It may be how the Windows database tracks fonts internally, it may be how Adobe recognizes font names, it may be how you installed the fonts, it may be because there's a conflict. I *think* you avoid this problem if you use OpenType fonts, which are completely cross-platform, and you just encounter it with Type 1 and TrueType fonts.
I would try posting the issue to the font experts on the Typophile.com forums, they should know more than anyone.

I would also try posting the same issue to Adobe's Type forum ... it doesn't get a lot of traffic, probably because it's called the ATM and Type forum, but I just checked and there's some Type-specific questions and answers there.
Here's the Windows forum for that:

If you ever come up with an answer/fix/solution, *please* post it here!

    Microsoft store will provide a download manager (.exe) using your Product Key, which needs to be run on a PC. This manager will then let you download an ISO image to a USB and/or DVD.

    how can i reload font information while the jvm is running.
    I'm having the following problem...
    A program is running.
    A user installs a new font on the system (Xwindows in this case)
    Java doesn't display the font when i ask :
    java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();Thus i think that java buffers its font information somewhere. Anyone knows how to refresh te buffer?
    many thanks

  • How can change the font in the script output and the data grid ?

    How can change the font in the script output and the data grid in Sql Developer?

    You can't easily unless you have the latest version (2.1.1).
    If you do have this version then changing the font in the Tools/Preferences menu under the code editor/fonts section will also change the font of the data grid.
    For details of changing the fonts in an earlier version then see Sue's post below.

    You need to update to Firefox 9.0.1. - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension and set a default zoom level: <br />

  • How can I preview fonts?

    I would imagine this has been asked over and over, but couldn't find an answer googling the questiion.  How can I preview fonts in LR4 when I'm selecting one?  Thanks!

    On the one hand, a regular font management application such as the ones you mention, or my employer's own Suitcase Fusion (http://www.extensis.com/en/products/suitcasefusion2/index.jsp), will do the job really well... except that they prefer to work with fonts on your hard drive rather than on a non-writeable removeable disk. I *think* any of them can be set to work with the fonts in place, but you may need to adjust app preferences so they don't copy all those fonts to your hard drive when you bring them into the app. These also offer a lot of other features, but are retail programs that cost a bit of money. If you need the other features of font management, then they can be great. If you don't, they may be overkill. (If you don't know what font management is, see the second paragraph of my blog post on Windows font management, here: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2007/10/win_font_mgmt.html.
    Have you completely exhausted all the OS preview options? Any chance you'll upgrade to Leopard? This article offers some useful tips for font previewing in Leopard, not sure if they work in Tiger:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/131466/2008/01/105previewfonts.html
    Otherwise, you might want to look at a dedicated inexpensive or free utility that really just does previewing of uninstalled fonts. I can't comment on the quality of these, but I gather FontCat, Font Pilot and FontThing.

  • I need space on my hard drive, how can i delete movies permanently?

    My computer storage is completely full. I checked what is taking up the most space, and it came down to movies. They take up about  50 GB of my storage, and they are all movies I haven't watched in years! I don't want/need these movies anymore, but the only option I've been finding is to "hide" the purchases. That doesn't do anything for me though, because it's not taking away any of the storage!! I need to find a way to delete them off my computer to free up a ton of space. How can I do that?

    Did you try to right click on a movie in your iTunes library/My movies and click on "delete"? A message will pop up to ask you if you want to remove the movie from your iTunes library permanently, click "yes" to move the movie file to the trash to delete it later.

  • How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

    I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

    Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • HOW CAN I PUT A PERMANENT CAPTION ON A JPEG IMAGE?

    I have Elements 8 operating (successfully!) with Windows 7.  How can I put a caption on the Jpeg that will actually appear on the photo and will show on a print?  I would like the caption to run along the bottom of the image.  I believe that using the "Title" feature in Pre Elements will not imprint itself on the jpeg file image.  Am I right?

    Hi,
    Use the text tool.  Make a box in the approximate location you wnt the caption, choose a font and size, and type the caption into the box.  You can then use the move tool to fine-tune and adjust the location.  When satisfied, you can flatten and save the image.  Hope this helps.

    Hi the fnt size in the menu bar is too small (unreadable). How can I increase the font size. I have a new Samsung PC with high resolution screen.

    You must mean Photoshop Elements 11, not Photoshop.
    There is no ability to change the size of the menu font in PSE 11.
    note to mod:

  • How can I increase font size on LR windows?

    I would estimate the font size in my LR (and all Adobe windows) is a five. It's the same on all three of my computers, all of which are operating on Windows 8.
    The last time I raised this issue, I was told to change the screen resolution -- pretty poor workaround considering all my other apps operate at the recommended screen resolution for the three computer and one additional monitors I use.
    How can I increase the font size to make Adobe applications  usable on my computers?

    Hi,
    I also use Win 8.1 and I have a high DPI 13" screen that is at 1920x1080 resolution and it is satisfactory although small.
    LR (5.7 current) will not support screens with greater resolution unless you have razor sharp eyes.
    We just need to hope that the next release (6) whenever it comes has native support for high DPI screens.

  • How can I use fonts found in iDVD 08 in other programs?

    I created a DVD using 6.0 Themes, Pass Through in particular, by exporting a slideshow movie from iMovie 06 and it looks great. Thank you's to forum members for the help I needed to resolve issues. Deleting the plist files and burning at 2 times speed did the trick to problems I encountered. But here's one I've been spending lots of time on: I used the font, Humana Serif Md ITC TT, on the DVD and I would like to use it on the printed cover, however, I can't access it from any other program. I've used Spotlight to no avail and it does not present itself on the list of available fonts on any other program I have. How can I use that font in Pages to use on my printed DVD cover?

    Kool! I just learned something new myself. (thanx Niel)
    It's essential that you do exactly as stated above while holding down the option key in the instructions that were kindly provided above. The option key serves to copy these files to an alternate location if I'm not mistaken. Holding down any other key but Option may have an unintended effect on the application itself.
    So please do exercise caution while working within the Resources folder / showing package contents.
