ID CS2 Mac - Packaging Results in 0kb Fonts

It appears as though the majority of the time I package my InDesign project, the fonts folder created is full of 0kb fonts. This doesn't happen every time, but most times. This happens to all of the font types. We're unable to send the fonts to the printer without having to manually go in and copy the fonts used. Often times there are many, many fonts used and this requires entirely too much time for something that should be easily automated.
I've googled and searched these forums. Any suggestions on what might be causing this?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

By running the script it removed all Adobe-installed stuff. This included removing the "Reqd" folder in this path: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Fonts. InDesign CS2 expects that folder to be there. You could copy the folder from another computer, or do a reinstall on InDesign

記載の通りになってしまいますが、HDDのフォーマットを拡張形式にしていないからではないでしょうか。
また実際にインストールされるOSのバージョン等はいくつになるでしょう、
CS2は最近のOSでは対応していないので、インストール自体ができません。

I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times to no avail. There are no other problems with w/ other CS4 programs, they all have the normal system font. I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Masking unwanted sides to drop shadow effect (AI CS2 Mac)

I've got a problem with drop shadows in CS2 (Mac). Can anyone help? I've applied an offset of zero and a blur of 1mm which works fine but the object is at the corner of the artboard and the shadow spills over onto the pasteboard and leaves a fine line showing when imported into InDesign (at the edge of the graphics frame).
Can you tell me how I can loose the shadow on the two sides I don't want it? I've tried creating a clipping mask behind to paste it into but I loose the solid area of the object (with the shadow) that I'm pasting in to the mask.
Many thanks,
Bob

I don't see a problem. A clipping mask should work, but perhaps I might not be following the description in your second paragraph correctly.
Could you clarify, preferably by providing a screenshot that illustrates what you get and what you want to achieve?

MS Office Mac wreaks havoc with arabic fonts on OSX

i always have this problem when installing the dreaded MS Office for Mac on any OSX system and that is that Arabic fonts that work fine start going haywire because MS Office Mac installs some funky corrupt fonts.
Does anyone know how to go back to the original pre-office installed fonts that came with OSX snow leopard? im guessing i have to use the install discs or something.
i've tried to selectively figure out what Office has installed and remove them and its a pain.
on a related note, will Office do fine if I dont allow it to install its own fonts on my system?

tom -
i am not sure of the specifics but here's some info from a poster on a board:
"2) There is an entirely separate issue about viewing Arabic in Safari. Installing MS Office for Mac also installs Office fonts on your Mac. Two of those fonts (specifically Arial and Times New Roman) will corrupt Safari's ability to display Arabic properly and you will wind up with disjointed Arabic text like ? ? ? instead of ???
To fix this all you need to do is delete the offending fonts from your Mac (go to Library>Preferences>Fonts and simply trash Arial and Times New Roman. Your mac will then revert to using the original versions of those fonts that came with your system -- in other words, you'll still have access to the Arial font in Microsoft Word and other Office apps, but Safari will display Arabic correctly."
http://www.emiratesmac.com/forums/arabic/604-writing-displaying-arabic-my-mac-3. html
and there's some useful information here as well http://www.smi.uib.no/ksv/ArabicMac.html .
are there any other font folders that i should time-machine restore besides the two aptly named ones i mentioned in /Library and /user/Library ?
and on a related note, there was an option in the custom settings of the MS Mac Office installation to install 'fonts' (or was it 'additional fonts' ?) that, in hindsight, maybe i should have unchecked. if i ever have to reinstall office one day i will pay more attention to this as well as have my fonts backed up for sure.

Photoshop CS2 (Mac) bricht bereits beim Starten ab

Hallo,
arbeite mit CS2 (Mac). Photoshop bricht seit Kurzem bereits beim Starten ab. Auch Neuinstallation hat nichts gebracht. Adobe konnte mir "nur" mit einer englischsprachigen Anweisung zur Fehlerbehebung aushelfen mit der ich, sprachlich bedingt, leider nicht klar komme :-(
Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen? Ein Fehlerbericht liegt mir vor.
Gruss OG

Hallo,
habe in einem anderen Forum die Loesung bereits entdeckt. Hatte mit meiner Epsonscan-Software zu tun. Dabei ist ein Crash aufgetreten. Hatte daraufhin diese Software deinstalliert. Heute nun eine neue Version installiert und jetzt lauft auch Photoshop wieder :-)

Please help me. Now some info's: ID CS2 MAC 4.0.5, CodeWarrior 9.3 maybe the problem code: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- InterfacePtr<IApplication> application(gSession->QueryApplication()); ASSERT(application); if (application == nil) { ASSERT_FAIL("application invalid"); return; } InterfacePtr<IDialogMgr> dialogMgr(application, UseDefaultIID()); ASSERT(dialogMgr); if (dialogMgr == nil) { ASSERT_FAIL("dialogMgr invalid"); return; } PMLocaleId nLocale = LocaleSetting::GetLocale(); RsrcSpec dialogSpec(nLocale, kTestPluginID, kViewRsrcType, kTestDialogResourceID, kTrue); IDialog* dialog = dialogMgr->CreateNewDialog(dialogSpec, IDialog::kMovableModal); ASSERT(dialog); if (dialog == nil) { ASSERT_FAIL("can't create dialog"); return; } dialog->Open(); ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance Ralph

[SOLVED]Which package is the Heltivicta font in?

Which package is the Heltivicta font in? It's apparently missing from my computer.

The packages, xorg-fonts-100dpi and xorg-fonts-75dpi install the bitmap version of helvetica. These are probably what you're referring to as they are the core X fonts found on most GNU/Linux and BSD systems.
You should be aware however that Fontconfig disables the rendering of these fonts by default. You'll need to tweak your system settings in order to view them (otherwise substitution will occur). The easiest way to do this is to remove the offending symlink from /etc/fonts/conf.d:
$ sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf
Should you ever wish to restore this rule, you can do so with:
$ sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf
Hope this helps.

Packaging ID CS5 file - fonts not packaging

No, I was not. Now seems to be working fine. Thanks!!

ID CS2 Mac system fonts and CMap files missing

I have ID CS2 for Mac. I recently had some trouble uninstalling a trial version of After Effects CS3, so I used a script provided by Adobe that is for removing troublesome files and apps. Now, when I try to start InDesign CS2, I get an error message almost immediately that says "Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign." Does anyone know what fonts and CMap files are needed by ID, and where they should go (in which directories/folders)? I don't want to have to reinstall the entire program. All the other CS2 apps work fine and I don't want to upset the apple cart (pardon the pun). I haven't trashed any of the files that the script uninstalled...they are in a folder on my desktop, so I can just put back what ID needs, as long as I know where they go.
Thank you!

By running the script it removed all Adobe-installed stuff. This included removing the "Reqd" folder in this path: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Fonts. InDesign CS2 expects that folder to be there. You could copy the folder from another computer, or do a reinstall on InDesign

How can I get my new 10.8 macs to view legacy postscript fonts?

I've recently upgraded 3 work stations and I've come across a compatibility issue with the Windows Server connected via smb.
The 2 new machines, an Intel iMac i7 and a Mac Pro Xeon Tower, both shipped with OSX 10.8. When they are connected to the Windows Server (Small Business 2011) via smb all the legacy postscript fonts view as 0Kb.
The 3rd machine is an Intel iMac i5, but the OS was originally 10.6. It had been modified using the terminal commands from this support page :-
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4017?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The subsequent OS upgrades to 10.7 and 10.8 haven't broken the legacy files when connected to the Windows Server on this MAC.
I've tried running the terminal commands on one of the new machines but it doesn't work. Has anyone come across this and have you solution please.

For it to show on the desktop check on Finders menubar. Finder > Preferences > General > check CDs DVDs and iPods. Do the Same in the sidebar tab if desired.

When I re-installed CS2 (Mac), it did not include Acrobat 7

I recently had to re-install my CS2. I phoned Adobe Support and gave them with the email address I used when purchasing. They provided a link to CS2 downloads. On the list of downloads, it included the option to download the bundled CS2 as well as the option to download apps individually. I noticed that some individual applications (like Acrobat) were only listed for Win -- not for Mac. But my CS2 used to include Acrobat. I was hoping that when I downloaded the bundled CS2 that Acrobat would still be included, but it was not.
I followed the instructions exactly, downloading all discs. Disc 1 included the "Adobe Installer" app and a separate folder for Reader 7. But no folder for Acrobat 7. The instructions said to click Disc 1's "Adobe Installer". here were no instructions to do anything with "Disc 2" and "Disc 3". Both discs also include the same "Adobe Installer" app on Disc 1.
I ended up with:
Bridge
Illustrator
InDesign
Photoshop
Reader 7
Version Cue
But no Acrobat 7.
Is there a way to download Acrobat 7 separately?

i don't think they are.
if you have acrobat 8 it might have been an upgrade (purchased with its own serial number), but not an update to acrobat 7.
if that's acrobat 8 standard and if you purchased from adobe, check your order history, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
if you acquired via dell, http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/19/category/Product-Support /Self-support-Knowledgebase/software-and-downloads
otherwise, you need to contact the vendor for the installation file(s).
if that's acrobat 8 pro and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number. (for help finding your serial number, if not purchased from adobe, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html)
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

[ID CS2 MAC]crash of ID during placed EPS without preview

Hi,
has somebody encounter problem with placing EPS without preview into frame?
If you run ID CS2 on MAC (intel MAC in my case) from terminal you could see outputs from ID like this:
Adobe InDesign CS2(602,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=184320) failed (error code=3)
Adobe InDesign CS2(602,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
Adobe InDesign CS2(602,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
I thought that there was something wrong with my plugin but then I tried placed that EPS without preview manually and without my plugin but with the same result.
ID is unstable after that message.

Hi Bob,
System spec is PowerPC G5, version 10.4.11. I'll have to ask our Mac expert
if CS2 is fully patched.
Cheers for your response.

InDesign CS 6 Package - " Cannot copy necessary font(s)"

Hi,
I've recently installed InDesign CS 6 on my Mac. Everything works fine until I start to package my files. I'll get the above error message and nothing will be copied out. I've been browsing the forum and saw that a few others also experienced similar problems. I've tried some of the methods (Re-installing InDesign & Trashing my preference) but none works. I've an older version of Indesign CS 5.5 and the same document file package out fine. I'm running on OS X 10.6.8 on a MacPro. The problem does not just lie in one file. All my other files are experiencing the same problems with packaging on CS 6. And I'm only using 1-2 font type (Univers).
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could give me some directions on this. Thanks!
Cheers,
Jeffrey

I see this was posted almost a year ago. Did you ever find any resolution? I am now having this problem suddenly.

Showing tranformation controls, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Mac Tiger

The 'show transformation controls' are checked but the controls do not display. Going to Edit - transform - ...... they will display, but then disappear again and do not show on re selecting with the move tool.
This has only just started to happen on the Mac and does not correspond to any upgrades or new software and has been working fine since the installation of CS2 quite some time ago.
Cathy

Try trashing your preferences?
(Hold down the Shift+Option+Command keys AS you launch Photoshop. You'll get a little dialog to delete your settings.)
