IDCS5.5: Preflight "No errors" while Find Font - Error!?

Hello,
I've updated to CS5.5 (Middle Eastern Version).
Working on a Germna text Book,
A strage phenomena has happened.
While Preflight is green and says ok, under Find font it says there is a missing font.
So how come preflight is ok?
I wonder if it happend to anyone under US version, or at all.
All the best,
Shlomit

You might want to send Gabe Harbs a message and have him look at this, too.
Your behavior is differnt from what I see copying the entire frame -- I continue to see the phantom font (which frankly I expect since the font is part of the paragraph formatting). What bothers me is that preflight isn't recognizing that the font is applied. I don't know why that is -- Find Font see it, the style sees it and removing overrides changes it. So the bottom line is maybe you can't trust preflight.
That said, though, I think that perhaps the reason Preflight doesn't see a problem is the missing font isn't actually applied to any text on the page, only to the "character" representing the anchored object. As soon as I add any sort of text character to the line, or change the paragraph mark to the missing font, Preflight kicks out an error.

Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?
JJR

Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

Preflight detected errors - overset text (1)

Hi
I have copied / pasted text from a Word document and tried 2 ways to place it in my InDesign CS6 document
(1) putting copied text into a prepared text box
(2) using the 'text box' that 'came with' the copied text (enlarged to fit area)
each time the dreaded 'red box with a + ' sign inside appears on the rt. side of the 'finalised' text
and 1 error shows at the bottom which is the Preflight detected error - overset text
I have loads of other text in my document but none copied/pasted
Writing the text manually into the document is not an option in this case
Do I have to format it somehow? I would really appreciate a really simple A-Z step answer for this old gal
cheers - any help will really stop my hair from greying any further Lou

Does the text contain special glyphs that require a font with Maori support? Id not then you can edit the styles to change the font (or, on the strong probability that the Word file doen't really use styles, you can use Find Font to replace it). if you do need Maori support, you should install a font that supports it, like Arial Maori, on the computer. ID uses any fonts installed normally for the OS (presuming they are not really badly made) or that are located in the private Adobe or InDesign fonts folders.

CS3 Find Font/Delete Paragraph Style/Redefine Paragraph Style Causes Crash

I am running into a very frustrating issue where I cannot replace a paragraph style. The issue is that we used to use some adobe type fonts and want to move to the true type equivalent so that we don't have problems working on files between mac and pc. The problem occurs on both mac and pc on a variety of hardware (both c86 and ppc macs for example). When we open the document it identifies that the font cannot be found (example Palatino T1). When we click find font and select the regular ttf Palatino replacement and click Change All Indesign just vanishes and leaves a crash message with a ton of garbage and a read only memory error. The same happens if we change the font on some text and right click on aragraph style and click "redefine style" - there is a sudden crash.
Trying to work around this I went into our templates and tried to change it there. Opening the paragraph style and selecting the new font caused it to crash upon selecting OK. Also trying to Make a new paragraph style works, but then when deleting the old one causes a crash no matter what combination of mapping or not mapping the old paragraph style we chose (we tried every option under the dialogue and selected several different styles to map to or none at all).
This occurs on several different fonts and on several different templates. I have tried deleting the adobe font cache to no avail. Any help resolving this would be great - all our employees are going nuts over this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Peter, your latest post led me to an interesting revelation. When I change Palatino (t1) bold to Palatino Bold using Find/Change it is fine. When I change Palatino (t1) to any font using Find/Change there is a curious result! As soon as I click find first the page changes to the default template and all content is hidden. The 4 or 5 places where palatino occurs on the default template change fine, but then on the next click of FIND FIRST it crashes! So the problem is connected to "find first", not the actual change. My guess is this is an issue of with how the find/change jumps from the template to the individual page, but I'm not sure exactly what is happening.

Illustrator CS does'nt start up while 'updating fonts...'

When I want to start up Illustrator CS, first the 'spinning beachball' appears while Illustrator is 'updating fonts 80%'. After showing this text, it takes a little while and Illustrator quits. Every time when I've tried to restart Illustrator it quits while 'updating fonts 80%' (Powerbook 17" Leopard)
Please can anybody help me with this problem. Thanks!

I solved the problem by a tip from a good friend. What did I do? From the Macintosh HD I opened the 'home'-icon (the icon that looks like a house. In that folder you find a 'Preferences'-folder. From that folder I removed all the Illustrator and Adobe related files (I first stored them in a folder on my desk top).
After that I started up Illustrator CS... and it works again.

An oldie: Unable to find font: Serif.

This popped up with CF8. I am using Ben's ImageDrawTextArea, which I have been using on CF8, CF9 and Railo. Now that I ponied up for my nice new CF10 server, this code no longer works. I have tried everything from copying the fonts into the JRE/Fonts directory to trying to use plain ole Arial.
When I run the code I throw the following error:
Unable to find font: Serif.
Any thoughts or solutions to try?
Thanks!
- Robert

Finally got it working by using a TrueType(!) Font listed in CF-Admin:
Lucida Sans Regular
CF seems to default to Serif as Fallback-Font.
Too bad it's not available on Linux

Mysterious smiley face icons in find fonts menu

Was going to do another round of revisons to some ice cream labels, this came up while opening 11 flavors. Only came up on one, and is gone now. Just wanted to share incase anyone seen this before. Seems like the fonts for showing the font technology changed to a font similar to Apple color Emoji, amybe a font in the show package contents.
CS5 15.02 Mac OS 10.8.4

Maybe not so much a mystery, more an "Easter Egg". I ran across this in Illy CS3 (possibly even earlier) while assigning a hotkey to "Find Fonts".
This appears when you hold down Alt on a Windows machine -- probably Option on your Mac.
It seems to be a graphical depiction of what Illustrator's programmers think of various font formats: instead of the usual "Type 1", "OTF", and other icons, it displays these. Look what it says on your "Courier"!
Very funny ... until you realise you cannot disable it, and so using a hotkey that includes Alt is impossible.

Has anyone experienced text going missing after using Change All in the Find Font dialogue box?

I manage an artwork production studio and two members of staff have separately reported that when using the Change All command to substitute fonts in InDesign's Find Font dialogue box, some text disappears from their documents. All affected text is originally set in the same font, and most of the conversion is fine but a few instances of text are actually removed (not reflowed). In the latest reported case, only four or five instances of text were 'deleted' across two pages of a 20pp document.
I've found a link that refers to the same issue but it's unresolved (http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/Thread/index.lasso?20041#last)
I haven't been able to replicate this behaviour but would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced it and if so, under what circumstances it can occur, and what work-rounds or fixes are available.
Applies to InDesign CS3 and CS4, have not tested with CS5 because we haven't upgraded yet.

Joel, I am having the same problem you described. I have read of similar posts on PrintPlanet.com. Someone there thought it was a different text engine or something in CS4 which may be causing the problem.
I don't know what causes this but I believe it can be traced to a previously created file in CS3 is saved as a CS4 document.
The fonts associated with this problem for me are always Gill Sans, Palatino and some form of Helvetica. There may be others but these are the ones we notice the most.
Today I worked on an InDesign CS4 file. When I opened it I was given a missing font warning. I went to Find Font and it was different typefaces of Gill Sans that was missing. When I changed the missing font to Gill Sans Regular entire lines of text disappeared. I closed the document without saving it and reopened it. I did the same thing in replacing fonts. This time no text disappeared. Not reflowed; not white; not hidden—gone.
This is what I have been seeing for the past few months. The disappearing text is random and cannot be duplicated, though fonts may disappear in some other place. You never know where text will just disappear.
The workaround I have found is to export your file to an INX document and reopen it in CS3. You have to replace all missing text before saving it as INX, though. To my knowledge CS3 has never had this happen.
The workaround, though it works for me, is annoying. I'd like to know what to do to resolve this issue. What's the use in having CS4 if you can't trust it completely.
I use a Mac running 10.6.3. I also have running Suitcase Fusion 2.

Preflight Panel Error

I've recently started using the preflight panel in ID CS4 when I produce my company's 4/c process covers.
I have set up a custom preflight profile so that under:
- IMAGES and OBJECTS > Image Resolution > color, grayscale and 1-bit images are checked off and set at minimum resolution of 300dpi.
- COLOR > Color Spaces and Modes Not Allowed: RGB, Spot Color, and Lab are checked off.
> Spot Color Setup > Predefined Spot Colors Must: Use CMYK Equivalents
However, when I place some EPS files, I'm getting preflight panel errors indicating that the EPS file has an effective resolution less than that of 300dpi I set in my custom profile, and that the "content" uses spot color.
I opened up the EPS files in AI CS4 and the doc info says no spot colors. And when I package the ID files with the EPS graphics, the summary says that no spot colors were found. Also, these are postscript files...why would I get a resolution error? Besides, the EPS files are at 100%.
Why the spot color error? Help!

Run the EPS files thru Illustrator and sava as to proper current .ai files and replace and see if the problem persists.

Can You Change the Highlighted Button in the Find Font Palette?

I have several hundred spreads that I converted from Quark to InDesign CC and a few fonts are missing, so I need to replace them. I can use the "Find/Replace" window to take care of most of them using the "find format" function, but one doesn't show up as a choice, so I have to change it using the Find Font palette. I select the missing font name and then select the replacement. Then, if I hit the "enter" button on the keyboard, the palette closes because the highlighted button is the "Done" button. Is there a way to change the highlighted button to the "Change All" one?
Thanks,
Lloyd

John,
Thanks for the reply. I tried using the tab key and although it does change the highlighted button, you can't just press "enter" to select it. I also tried ALT+A (option+A) and it did nothing. I should have mentioned that I'm using a Mac.

Can't find font

I want to use ITC Avant Garde Gothic Book in Indesign. It's showing in Font Book and it's used in an Illustrator file but isn't recognised in Indesign. I'm trying to open an ID file which has the font in it but get a Missing Fonts message with a Find Font button. Clicking the buttons opens a font search option but it's not showing in the font list. Does anyone have any ideas please on why this is happening?
thanks

Try holding down the command key to the left or right of the space bar and pressing "T" to see if that brings it up.
By "hiding off screen" have you been using multiple monitors? It's difficult to drag an object off screen since, because your mouse doesn't go there, you can't drag anything there. However, if you were in a multi screen setup, I could see how that could happen.
Another thing you could try is checking to see if you're currently set up to span your monitor image or mirror. If it's set to span, change to mirror to see if you can find it (F7 key usually works for this as well).

Regarding Find Fonts

Hi All,
I place word file text into InDesign, know i want to change the fonts using JS
For Example:
Find Font Type = Arial Bold
Change Font Type = Helvetica Bold
Can any help.
Hurix

Try this
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Arial"
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold"
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Helvetica LT Std"
app.changeTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold"
app.activeDocument.changeText();
You can change the font family and style as you want...

InDesign "Find Font" deletes text - help!

So I open a file, use 'find font' to find and replace a font. Sometimes when I hit "change all" it deletes entire paragraphs of text. I've tried it with different fonts and it's not consistent. Sometime it deletes, sometimes it doesn't.
Just now, I did a "change font" from Garamond to Univers and lost a paragraph on page one - no text in the box whatsoever. So I did and Undo. Then, I did the exact same "change font" again. Paragraph on first page is fine, one on page 2 goes missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry it took me some time to get back...
#1 original file with the original fonts
#2 I have done a "Find Font" and replaced with Univers. Notice much of the text on page one is missing... it just seems to disappear (delete). In this case, some text in the same box was left, I think because it was a different font that the rest in the original font.
Sometimes it deletes everything in the text box, not just a portion.
Also, I originally suspected my Univers font to be the issue, however, that's not the case. This happens with several different fonts, inconsistently.

Sorry but we cant create a repair while Find my iPhone is active

Hello everyone. First of all please accept my appologies in case im posting to the wrong place. I bought an iphone 5 used, like half year ago on ebay and now it stopped turning on. I browsed for troubleshooting on expresslane and came up to the page where it offered to mail phone to apple for repair. I decided to do that but on a certain step i got a message "Sorry but we cant create a repair while Find my iPhone is active. Youll need to turn off Find My iPhone and retry this serial number." Well i knew i never turned this feature on personally, it appears that the previous owner did that and never erased this feature before selling and i never checked for that before using. I even never installed any apps of any kind. Decided to contact ebay seller to ask if they could turn the feature off. They appeared to be wholeasalers who resell used devices and never keep a record of what they buy and sell. Contacted Apple telephone support, they confirmed that the only way device could be serviced is to turn the feature off. A vicious circle. Dead end? Any thoughts?

Yes and in my case i cant find who i bought it from. Now its a useless device for me
I don't understand? You don't know who you bought it from? So, was this a purely private sale over the internet or something?
Activation lock may lead to many such scams if people insist on buying used from unknown parties. Someone steals someone else's phone, sells it online, and of course, it is blocked from being restored and activated by the original owners perfectly legitimate use of Activation Lock.
