Illustator files with OT Fonts Flagged as T1 in InDesign CS4

Is this a bug in InDesign CS4 where Illustrator files flag all OT fonts as T1? I'm attempting to setup in the menu Window/Output/Preflight and using a custom profile that flags all fonts as not allowed except OT fonts. For some reason InDesign thinks the OT fonts are T1?
Any help would be apprecaited.

  • Exception thrown while processing pdf file with composite fonts using adobe pdf library (v 9.1 )

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with processing composite fonts with adobe pdf library (v 9.1 ).
    While processing a pdf file having composite fonts, the pdf library is throwing an exception.
    The api which throwed exception is "PDPageAcquirePDEContent()". In my code i am calling PDDocGetNumPages(), PDDocAcquirePage() before this api is called, but all those functions suceeded. In the HANDLER, using the ASGetErrorString(), i got this exception error as  "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing."
    Now coming to the input file (which is also attached), this document have three different composite fonts ( details are given below )
    Font Name : TicketBold, Bold(Embedded)
    Font Type : Trueype (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : Times-Roman (Embedded)
    Font Type : Type 1 (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : TimesNewRomanPSMT (embedded)
    Font Type : TrueType(CID)
    Encoding: Identity-H
    If i convert all the composite fonts to outline using pitstop before processing, it works fine.
    So my question is that whether pdf library doesnt support composite fonts (which i dont think so ) or i need to do a special handling for these kinds of fonts in my application ( which i strongly belive ). If its the latter case, please let me know how to handle it in my application.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Leonard,
    Thanks for your reply. May i ask you which sample of the PDF Library you used to test my scenario.
    One question i would like to put to you beofre going for filing a formal issue to Adobe will be does this issue has anything to do with the initialization of the pdf library?
    What i meant is that when we call the PDFLInit() we pass a PDFLDataRec structure which is initialized by various path to font folders, cmap folders and unicode folders. Whether if i miss any of these folders will it cause this issue???
    thanks again

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • Fonts not showing up in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Newbie here, so any wisdom from the voices of experience is greatly appreciated.
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, and several fonts that worked fine in CS2 do not even show up in CS4 (!).  I'm working with Mac OSX and I'd really like to know if anyone has any constructive suggestions.  I've done some poking around online and it seems I'm not the only one who's encountered this little issue, but it also seems that others have been unsuccessful in resolving it.  Can anyone provide some insight?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for responding.I'm working with Mac version 10.5.8. 
    The fonts I'm trying to work with are foreign language fonts that don't appear anywhere on the font list (trust me-I've looked!).
    Well, if you've really looked through the whole list, you already know that foreign-language fonts usually show up at the end of the list, in categories that are ostensibly by language. Some of them do not show up in their pre-ordained language category; massive Unicode roll-ups of many scripts often show up with the Latin-script fonts or the Thai fonts (???).
    I'm the complex-script DTP wonk in a translation firm that specializes in refugee languages; chances are that I've already encountered the fonts you're trying to install, at some point in the last decade. If I haven't, I know someone who has done so. You really should post the names of the fonts, so I can tell you if I know anything about them, tricks to install them, and so on.
    As far as how the fonts were installed-I'm not sure how they got here initially (fonts are a great mystery to me), but they show up in my Fontbook in the "Computer" collection but not the "User" collection.  Could that have something to do with my problem?
    Uh, maybe. I doubt it, though. You could find out by
    1) Finding out where the actual font files are.
    2) Copying them to your desktop, or someplace where Mac OS can't get to 'em.
    3) Uninstall them from Fontbook. (I don't have a Mac with that version of Mac OS installed; I'll look when I'm at home to see if I can give you step-by-step instructions, or you can Google for instructions.)
    4) Put the font files in your /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder.
    For fonts that Mac OS doesn't like, this is the most reliable way to get them working. But really, post the names of the fonts and I'll probably be able to tell you all about using them for typesetting in InDesign.

  • MS Word can see these fonts, so why can't InDesign CS4?

    I produce an annual brochure and have just opened last year's INDD file in InDesign CS4 on my Windows XP PC, intending to use this as the basis for this year's brochure. The document was created using InDesign CS2 and had no font issues when last used. However, I am now being told by InDesign CS4 that the following three fonts are missing,
    Arial Narrow
    Arial Narrow Bold Italic
    Arial Black
    When I try to search for Arial Narrow via the Find Font dialogue box, it is nowhere to be seen in the list of available fonts. I can find Arial Black in the list but it only appears to be available in italic style, which is not used in my document. Other apps on my PC, such as MS Office, have no problem in finding these common fonts in all the usual styles. They are also listed in Windows Control Panel/Fonts.
    How do I fix this irritating problem?

    Bob,
    I spent a bit more time reading your link and all the associated comments. Unfortunately, different people appear to have adopted different solutions and there is a general lack of clarity. There were three sources of confusion for my simple mind.
    Firstly, the referenced Microsoft Hotfix 956514 does not support your assertion that it is incompatible with XP SP3 so I went ahead and installed this hotfix. The result was that my previous Arial Narrow font files were updated from version 2.37 to 2.40 (as viewed via Control Panel/Fonts). I also deleted all the Adobe font cache files and rebooted my PC. This resolved my problem with Arial Narrow (though my first attempt failed as I think I must have missed one of the Adobe font cache files). All the previous style variants of Arial Narrow are now available under Arial. That problem is now resolved.
    The second source of confusion was that the hotfix description claims to fix an Arial Narrow problem with Office 2007. It does not make any reference to Adobe application problems. This was puzzling as I never had any problem with accessing these fonts within Word 2007. However, I guess that the subfamily name confusion was at the root of Adobe's problems and had little or no visible effect on the Office apps.
    Thirdly, you recommended a hotfix that updates the font files to the latest level and yet some of those who have commented on your web page have fixed the problem by installing old versions of the font files (including the version I was originally using). Not everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.
    Anyway, I got there in the end and many thanks for pointing me in the right direction .
    This leaves me with one remaining problem. My CS2 InDesign doc uses an italic version of Arial Black, which exists on my PC as a TrueType font version 1.00 dated 1996. This no longer accessible via InDesign CS4, which allows me to select Arial Black either under its own name or as a style variant of Arial but only offers the regular style in each case. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Problems with Russian, Ukrainian etc. characters in Polish InDesign CS4

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a new user of InDesign CS4 (Polish version). Mostly i'm using Garamond Pro for setting text -- there is no Russian characters. Who know which one font has Russian, Ukrinian, Bulgarian Oldslavic etc. characters?
    thanks in advance!
    Maks

    If you're using Windows, there is an incredibly useful utility Babelmap that has the tool you need: "List all the fonts installed on my system that support the text I have on my clipboard". I used to use it all the time.
    I very much doubt that you have many fonts already installed on your system that support Old Slavic, unless you've installed them yourself. Bulgarian coverage is better, but still not common. If you'd like I can post some links to the pages where links to the type foundries working in these scripts are often posted. If you're not already familiar with it, Paratype is probably going to be your first stop.

  • Font error in file with no fonts

    Here is an oddity... running PS CC 20140730.r.148 on an iMac running OS X 10.9.4. Fonts are being managed by Suitcase Fusion 5.
    As stated in the subject, I am getting a font error in a file where there are no fonts, let alone any layers other than the background.
    Here is a screenshot of the offending file and the layers palette to show the supposed lack of fonts.
    This has happened on a couple of images now. Any thoughts?

  • Can't print PDF file with "Technical" font

    Having a problem here. Any PDF file I get that includes the font "Technical" will not print on my HP laserjet. It displays perfectly, but won't print at all. I do have "Technical.ttf" and "Technical_Italic.ttf" in Library->Fonts folder, and they show up as installed in Font Book under both "All Fonts" and "Computer." No font conflict shows. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks!

    First of all, you should check the font with Font Book to see that it is not damaged. Also, try printing a document which is not a pdf using that font. Then try printing the pdf with both Preview and Adobe Reader, with both the normal and print as image options for the latter. (I am trying to cover all possibilities here, but you did not include much information about what you tried and how it did not work.)

  • Can't save file with futura font?

    Hi
    I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
    Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
    I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
    When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
    Thoughts?

    Mike,
    Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
    Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
    It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
    To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.

  • Combined pdf files with garbage fonts

    I need help with creating a combined pdf document.  I start with word 2013, and use the styles to create a linked table of contents.  Then Save As to a pdf.  I deselect the Options to allow the links to work in the pdf format.  Then I add other pdf's created from word, excel or AutoCAD.  Finally I add outside pdf's from other sources (i.e. manuals) to complete the combined pdf.  Some, not all of my AutoCAD pdf's will have text changes, boxes or the letter L, basically gibberish.  I did recently change computers from a desktop to a laptop.  Running windows 8 and upgraded Acrobat Pro from X to XI.  This is extremely frustrating as it just recently seemed to start doing this.  I work for a manufacturing firm and have created combined pdf files to distribute to customers, vendors, etc. on a regular basis, and this just started.  I don't know how to fix it.  Please help

  • PS CS5 stalls when opening file with type layers

    Macbook Pro / 10.6.7 / 4GB RAM / 2GHz i7 / CS5 12.0.4.x64. No extra plugins or anything. New system, clean install from last week.
    When I open a file (any size/color/dimensions) that has type layers PS with hang for about 25 seconds, then come back just fine. If I clear the font cache (I use FontExplorer X 3) the problem will go away for a brief time (minutes?), then come back. Close and reopen a file, same hang. Close PS, reopen PS, reopen file, same hang.
    Files with no font layers are not affected — no hang, no delay, snappy... unless a file with type layers is already open, then there is the same delay.
    If a file with type layers is open in PS and hung on open, and I open/double-click it again from the finder I get another hang.
    Turing off font preview makes no difference, turning off OpenGL makes no difference.
    But, turning a font on or off in FontExporer does clear the problem for a while.
    Any thoughts?

    It looks like the plug in was the culprit. I have it turned off and haven't had the problem in a while (though I haven't used PS in a bit on text-heavy projects either).
    Thanks for the help.

  • "file is damaged and cannot be repaired" CS3 to CS4

    hello,
    I was emailed an illustrator CS3 file which I cannot open in CS4.  I can open in CS3 but when I try to open in CS4 I get error "this file is damaged and cannot be repaired"
    when I open in CS3 I get a message about font inconsistency...but the file still opens.
    any suggestions?

    Lara,
    yes it said something like "some fonts are not supported..etc...would you like to open the file anyway." (sry cant remember verbatim...I had a friend of mine try to open it on her comp which has cs3).
    I believe CS3 should substitute the fonts in question, or at least give you the option to substitute them. Did you try saving it from CS3 (with or without font substitution) and then opening in CS4 as I suggested?
    CS4 may be more particular than CS3 when it comes to fonts. Illy is more particular than most applications (some applications open files with corrupt fonts that she flatly refuses), and she may have become more particular over the years.

  • How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

    We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents.  We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
    We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
    Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

  • Help with embedding fonts in swf file

    Hi, I am haviing a problem with my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
    What I did so far that did not work:
    Made fonts static with animation
    made fonts dynamic with animation
    How can I fix this?
    I am still a beginner using flash so the simpler the option the better.
    Thanks!!!

    there are quite a few ways you could mess this up but no one way that's typical.
    create a new fla.  click on the text tool, select static in the combobox and add a textfield to the stage.  animate it.  test it.  any problems?
    any other way (or ordering of steps) you use to create static text is prone to problems.
