How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

    How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible. I have tired to go into system preferences and reset all of the keyboard settings to default but the issue hasn't gone away.

    You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.
    Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns  the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

  • Mapping fonts from Mac to Windows in CS4

    What is the most efficient process to map fonts in multiple documents opened from Mac to Windows?
    Currently we are working on 600+ documents that we need to convert to Windows from Mac. Every time we open a new document, the missing fonts dialog comes up. We replace the fonts. However, it appears there's no provision to automatically do this for every new opened document without manually going through this process each time!
    Couldn't find any reference to this issue in Help, KB, forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    OK guys, here's where we are now: apparently there's no way to batch process multiple documents without going each time through the "missing fonts" dialog. However, we were able to make this process as short as possible by using "load character styles" for each document when opened.
    And it's possible to do this across the network.
    Going through "load character styles" and synchronizing two documents [the saved one and the latest opened one], we are able to at least map the fonts consistently from doc to doc. This operation is still time consuming, especially considering the large number of docs we have to process.
    I'm going to look into the scripting option if there's a way to automate this process.
    The same synchronization process could be done by using the "book" option. But that involves again manually adding documents to the book one-by-one.

  • Font name mapping: Eg. Mac to Windows

    Hello-
    There are fonts -generic and font-families, that don't have the same name under MacOs and Windows. Our issue is that we might be creating InDesign documents in MacOs, but processing them on InDesign Server -Windows, and we might be getting missing font warnings and errors. Is there a way to generically apply a font mapping to InDesign Server? We are also QuarkXPress Server users and it does include this feature.
    Regards,
    GO.

    Any findings on this topic? We are in the same boat: moving InDesign documents from Mac to Windows, missing fonts. Even if we can map the fonts for each document, this is a repeat operation for every document and very time consumming when we have more than 600 docs to convert.
    Yes, in Quark it was simple: just map the fonts once, than subsequent documents "remembered" the local fonts.

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

    How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.
    This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.  Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.
