HT2509 system fonts only showing up

I have no idea what's happening - my system fonts are the only thing that shows up in my CS5 applications. All my fonts are sitting in the library/users folder and appear just fine in fontbook. I've now been unable to work for hours and near tears...please help!

Hi PS1,
I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book.
Yes, in a sense. If you always open and close your fonts through FAP's interface, then it's no problem leaving Font Book on your Mac. It will simply sit there and take up a small amount of disk space.
That said, it's still a nuisance having more than one font manager on your computer at a time. Say you disable all of the fonts in Font Book that you can. Assuming the fonts are still in the /Library/Fonts/ folder, you then turn them on and off with FAP. The problem then is which orders are the applications going to believe? Are the fonts active, according to FAP? Or inactive, according to Font Book?
Also, if you double click on any font to quick activate it, both FAP and Font Book will activate the font. So you will find yourself confused fairly often when you deactivate the font in FAP, but they still keep showing up in your applications as active. That would be because Font Book is still holding it open.
So if FAP is going to be your main font manager, then copy Font Book off to another disk for safe keeping (so you don't have to use Pacifist or an OS install to get it back on your system if you need, or want to), and then remove it from your hard drive.
Definitely don't remove the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder! If you remove Lucida Grande from its default location in any way, you will lose control of your desktop. The only way I can think that Taavi managed to accomplish this was moving files around booted to an external drive, or from another Mac via FireWire Target Mode. It's impossible to do on the same drive your booted to. You'll lose control of the desktop every time if you remove Lucida Grande. Although Taavi may have made his/her copy to the /Library/Fonts/ folder. That at least would still leave an active copy of Lucida Grande somewhere, but I highly recommend against that sort of handling of the system fonts.

System fonts not showing in Font Book

I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book. I cannot get the system fonts to show up in Font Book and, hence, those (System) fonts don't show in Apple apps, e.g., Safari, Grapher, Text Edit, etc., etc.
The only way I can get the system fonts to show in apple apps it to drag the System>Library>Fonts folder to the "Collection" column onto the "Computer" collection. This is fine, but it copies the System fonts to the ComputerName>Library>Fonts folder.
I've tried for hours to get the System fonts to show in Font Book and do it without the System fonts being copied to the Library or User folder, i.e., I want the System fonts to stay in the System fonts folder only.
If I boot into another partition and bring up Font Book everything works as I would expect, and Font Agent Pro is not installed on that partition...
Any Ideas?
TIA,

Change "rely on system fonts only" via Group Policy

Hello,
This may take a bit to explain my problem, sorry in advance. I have a mixed network environment of Windows 7 Professional (x64) and Windows XP Pro SP3 (x32), and all of them have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, with the Adobe PDF Printer.
My problem is that ALL of these systems have a serious, game-killing problem with the Adobe PDF printer setting, "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts". If that option is enabled (or if the option with the same name under Printer Defaults is enabled), then printing in our ERP software dies. (We use Microsoft Dynamics GP). Users get an error "Unable to stop printing", and believe me it took a WHILE before I figured out that the Adobe PDF setting was to blame! This happens even if my users are printing to physical paper, and not touching the PDF printer at all. In other software we sometimes get the annoying popup message from Adobe PDF saying that we need to uncheck the "Rely on system fonts..." setting as well. In short, I HAVE to keep that option turned off for all of my users.
Unfortunately, every time there's a major Adobe update the option returns (GRRRR!), in both the Printer Preferences menu and the Printer Defaults menu. I'm trying to change the option via a group policy administrative template, but I don't know which registry settings to modify - it seems like this option exists in SEVERAL places, here are the ones I've found so far:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData\DistillerHostFontHasMostFonts
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData\DistillerHostFontHasMostFonts
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData\DistillerHostFontHasMostFonts
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData\DistillerHostFontHasMostFonts
I've also found references in this forum that tell me to also change a long binary string in:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser\Adobe PDF\Adobe PDF (And this one I honestly have no idea how to edit a huge string like that.)
For the first four registry values, when I change DistillerHostFontHasMostFonts to 0 via a template... the checkbox isn't visually cleared in the GUI. *face palm* I'm a bit desperate - how is an admin supposed to change this option across a company network besides manually?

And, as a demonstration that this is a REAL and DOCUMENTED Microsoft bug, here's the text of the Dynamics GP KB article:
It would be nice if somebody from Adobe had an answer other than "yeah you shouldn't disable that feature, for vague reasons of our own that we won't tell you." Microsoft clearly believes it MUST be disabled! I don't have an option there, or my company's ERP software doesn't work.

Turn Off options "Rely on system fonts only;"

I'm trying to figure out why PageMaker keeps running into a wall when trying to export a pdf. I continue to get the error message: "Adobe PDF Settings" turn off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." I've searched through all the settings I can find in PageMaker and I don't see a single one called "Rely on system fonts...". I've tried going into Devices and Printers in Windows 7 and there is no Adobe PDF printer listed despite the fact that the latest Adobe Masters Collection is installed along with Acrobat Reader. Therefore I don't get where this setting is suppose to be. Can anyone help me out here?

Re: the million complaints, no--I'm sure there aren't a million lodged. But I'm sure we could document 50,000 complaints about failed plugins, bloated software, too frequent updates, strange error messages on load, features that switch on/off. Just with Acrobat. Probably just on the Adobe board alone. Like polling, I think you could project out to a million from that--because "I haven't heard a million suggestions" doesn't mean there aren't a million customers grinding their teeth with a billion instances of failure.
Re: the upgrade cycle, of course companies like you to upgrade. But that doesn't excuse them from adding new features/tweaks while grandfathering in bugs. Like the bug discussed here, which actually has nothing to do with PageMaker. Because it's the same one discussed here in 2009: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1880784. And it's the same one I'm experiencing now with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
And the issue for me (and in the 2009 post) is a conflict between Acrobat and the Calibri font--which is the default font for Word since 2007. (All Ben needed to do was Google the error message posted by this poor ******* who's stuck using PageMaker--he may have even found this post: http://blog.rockymountaintraining.com/?p=2551.)
Six years later, here this bug still is. A bug that is pure Adobe--based on how Adobe products interact with the operating system. I cringe at how many PDFs I've sent out to clients that included unusable links (it would be nice to be as confident as you are that not hearing complaints means there haven't been any).
And a person cannot upgrade out of this kind of bug without upgrading out of Adobe.

System Fonts not showing in the font list

After I upgraded Adobe CC 2014.3.1.44, CL78964 on my Windows 8 (64-bit) computer, none of the system fonts are listed within Muse.
Understand two things, one. This used to work fine. I was able to see all of the system fonts, now only the ones on this list show up. Two, and fonts that I add via the web kit doesn't show up either.
I have uninstalled, then reinstalled. Nothing. I have also looked for the elusive fonts.db, which cannot be found on my system. Ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the prompt response. We are wondering if you could try a few other things that will help isolate the issue. Our theory is the issue might be related to OS user permissions.
Run Adobe Muse CC as an Administrator
Locate the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" shortcut icon in Windows Explorer
Right-click the "Adobe Muse CC 2014" icon and then click "Run as administrator"
When the "User Account Control" is displayed, do one of the following:
If you are logged on as a standard user, or if the user account control is configured to always require credentials, enter the appropriate administrative credentials, and then click "OK"
If you are logged on as an administrator and user account control is not configured to always require credentials, click "Yes" to start the application
After Muse finishes launching, create a new site and inspect the font drop-down
Verify "Local Store" folder permissions
Open a Windows Explorer dialog
In the address field enter "%appdata% and open the folder named "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3".The folder path should be similar to the following with <username> being the current OS user's nameC:\Users\ <username> \AppData\Roaming\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.3
Right-click on the folder "Local Store" and select "Properties"
In the "Local Store Properties" tab, select "Security"
Select the current user name from the "Group or user names" list
Observe the section "Permissions for ...." in the "Local Store Properties" dialog. Does the user have full permissions (full control, modify, read & execute, list folder contents, read, write)?
Do you know if the Windows OS user account you are using is an administrator or standard user on your machine? You can find out by navigating to the following in Windows Explorer and selecting "Manage User Accounts":
Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts
Please let me know if you need any clarification on what we are asking for.
Thank you for your time in advance.
Regards,
Marc

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; all MacBook Air models support at least 10.7.5.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

Setting for "Rely on system fonts" does not work

Hello,
Some time ago I wrote a VBA function that would print a worksheet to pdf. It worked great. I reformatted my system, and now the code no longer works. When I run the routine, I receive the error message, "When you create a PostScript file, you must reply on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
I have changed this setting within the Adobe printer setting in Excel, I have changed it in both the 'Printing Preferences" and "Printer Properties" with the Devices and Printers Windows dialog, and I have confirmed that it is turned off in the binary registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\DevModePerUser\Adobe PDF". Also, I have applied the Acrobat 9.4.2 patch. Yet still I get the message when my code is executed....
There were a few changes between my system from before my reformatting. The common items were Windows7 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9. The changes were that I went from Microsoft Office 2010 64-bit to Office 2010 32-bit. Windows 7 SP1 is now installed. Also, both Acrobat and Office are installed on my internal "Data" drive, rather than the "C" drive where my operating system is installed.
Although I do not see an issue with code, since it worked for months, I have included it below (the printing code is at the end). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Ok, I have given up the ghost on this problem. I found a MUCH better solution to the problem that I was having, that also has the side benift of processing far faster. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee834871(office.11).aspx for details. Basically, I am now using the VBA ExportAsFixedFormat method, rather than Distiller. Hope this helps.

"No System Fonts Available" when fonts are embedded

I'm a writer using LaTeX to produce PDFs. I recently started to use an editor who uses acrobat for editing.
I have sent him a PDF with all the fonts embedded [full fonts embedded, not just subsets], and the fonts show up that way on the "Fonts" tab of the properties box.
However, when he goes to edit it in acrobat, the error "No System Fonts Available" shows up.
Why is acrobat unable to edit a PDF that it fully admits has the fonts embedded?

Embedded fonts means the metrics for displaying the fonts is within the PDF but not the fonts themselves. This is also why cutting can pasting text with embedded fonts sometime results in little squared indicating an unknown or unmapped character for a given character code. You also do not have the embedded fonts available on your system.

When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts

I got this error:
"When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
This strikes me as bad practice. I only want to use system fonts and document fonts will muck me up.
That being said, I could not easily find a way to fix this with Acrobat Pro XI. I opened Control Panel (Windows 8) and found the printer and mucked around in the various ways to get to change the PDF settings (there are several ways, and some of them present the choices as bold and not just regular). I found two separate switches for "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and turned both off, BUT that did not work.
Frustrated, I went back to FrameMaker and clicked File > Print Setup and then for the PDF printer, Printer Properties. There I found a THIRD instance of "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" that was set differently than the other two. This was the setting the error message meant. Change this one.
Thanks for the convoluted UI, Adobe. What a pain, but there is the answer for all who follow after....

> Windows 7 and Frame 7.2.
This is not a supported configuration and probably does not work, due (I'm guessing) to driver API changes from XP to Win7, which would affect generating PDF and Ps output. This would affect Save-as-PDF and Print-to-Ps+Distill (unless you have a newer version of the full Acrobat product).
As it happens, I'm going to attempt something similar: FM 7.0 on Win7 64 Pro. However, I'm going to install that old FM in "XP Mode".
XP Mode is a 32-bit virtual machine running actual Windows XP inside Win7. It is (now maybe "was") available for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (but not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). When XP went off support life earlier this month, Mr.Bill may have taken down the ability to download XP Mode (or not, since some large enterprises are able to purchase continued support for XP at some great cost). XP Mode never was supported for Win8. There are other VMs for Windows available.
If XP Mode is still available, you also need a CPU that has hardware virtualization, which all recent 64-bit AMD processors do, but which is fused-off in many low end 64-bit Intel processors. AMD processors need a separate unobvious hot-fix patch installed before you do anything else about XP Mode.

Excel VBA "Rely on system fonts" error

Based upon what I read in another thread, I may be missing some information on going directly to PDF rather than through a PostScript file. You tell me.
I'm driving multiple Excel VBA processes via MSAccess. I wish to print multiple charts from the same workbook to separate PDFs.
The first iteration works fine, creating a PDF of the chart with a specified filename. Subsequent iterations produce this error message:
When you create an Adobe PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts.
Please go to the printer properties, “Adobe PDF Settings” page and turn OFF the option “Rely on system fonts only;
do not use document fonts.”
Note: Turning off the "Rely" option doesn't prevent the abend on the second iteration. Conclusion, a switch is being set that isn't being turned off. The real question is, how can I reset that switch, or avoid the issue altogether?
The code below creates a PostScript file:
.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, collate:=True, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF on Ne00:", printtofile:=True, collate:=True, prtofilename:=PSFileName
Note: Another thread in this forum indicated that it was unnecessary to create a PS file and that Excel VBA can create a PDF directly.
If this is a distiller issue, and I can avoid distiller that would be great! But this is the code I use to convert the PS file to a PDF.
Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller
myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, PlotPath & PlotName, ""
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Jnana

Yes. The Registry is locked down according to IT. I can't even access a command line.
I tried a VBA routine that calls SHELL to invoke regedit to add an entry for creating a pdf. When I ran it, it belched on the SHELL call with an error message indicating that regedit was only available to an administrator.
I somewhat doubt that the inability to update the registry has anything to do with the fact that the creation of a PostScript file is successful the first time, but unsuccessful the second time.
I've included the code I've tried below.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Jnana

IMovie text library only shows 1 font, previously it would access all the fonts on my MacBook Pro - how do I get them back into the iMovie library?

Hello there ATCLTD,
I was think these troubleshooting steps will be the best for the issue you describe.
First I would perform a safeboot with this article named Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564.
To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
And perhaps this article to troubleshoot duplicate fonts, which can cause all kinds of wonky activity.
Font Book 198: Resolve duplicate fonts

Take care,
Sterling

Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Can you open Applications by navigating to the Applications folder via the Finder? When you write that your computer doesn't show icons, do you mean your Dock icons? Can you see the Dock as all?
Need just a little more information...

"Allow pages to choose their own fonts, and not my selection above" only shows squares with numbers in them for all english characters

When ever I select this option firefox only shows characters that appear when you do not have foreign fonts installed, except for English. The characters are squares with numbers in them at the bottom of the character.

Try to set the Boolean pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
