InCopy CS4 font problems

We're working on a document and having some issues because of fonts. The designer is on InDesign on a mac and I'm on InCopy on PC. Unfotunately, one of the fonts she chose isn't cross-platform and we don't want to spend the money to get a cross platform version simply so I can edit without the layout being thrown off. Basically, the headings throughout are not cross-platform, but the body text is. The substituted heading font is pushing everything just a little further down the page, so tables are being pushed to different pages, which then throws the whole thing off.
I know I can edit in a different view and to see all the text, but I wanted to know if anyone knows a work around so the fonts that are substituted don't thow off the spacing. Or do I just have to look at a PDF at the end of the process to assure that the overall formatting is OK?
Thanks!

Oh well. That's what I figured. Thanks!

Adobe Flash CS4 Font Problem

Hi
I am currently designing a banner in Flash CS4 for a website with falling snow animation etc. However, when I export it the text is not showing as the correct font. I have tried embedding the font but this still doesn't seem to be working. This is causing a big problem as it is for a client and the font I have used cannot be changed. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kqlad
When it is in the test environment it is showing as the correct font as I have the font on my laptop. However, when I export it and send it to my collegue via e-mail it is not coming up as the correct font. Its coming up as a serif-font bit like times new roman, rather than the modern sans-serif font it should be.
Thanks

CS4 Font Problem

When loading documents created in PageMaker 6.5 or 7.0, CS4 warns about missing fonts. Specifically the italic version of an opentype font that is installed. CS4 recognizes that the font is there, but only in regular style. The font does not have a separate italic file. Both PageMaker and WinWord gladly italicize the font (as well as bold and bold italicize), but CS4 seems incapable of doing so. Any solution other than selecting another font?

Compare a lower case "a" in Times New Roman Regular and Italic. Now,
while you've got both of them showing side-by-side, apply a 12 degree
skew to the Regular "a" (in the Character palette). See the difference?

HI there
I have downloaded the fonts to the system and I can access them in other
programs but, for some reason, not PS CS4

Adobe InCopy CS4 Missing Fonts...

I have a few users who are dealing with an InCopy file provided by a third party vendor who does their Marketing gazettes and logos, etc... Upon purchasing InCopy CS4, when opening the document provided, they receive a message stating "Missing Fonts" and they include:
Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed
ITC Franklin Gothic (T1) Demi
ITC Franklin Gothic (T1) Heavy
Helvetica Neue (T1) 27 Ultra Light Condensed
Helvetica Neue (T1) 97 Black Condensed
Helvetica Neue (T1) 57 Condensed
Helvetica Neue (T1) 37 Thin Condensed Oblique
Helvetica Neue (T1) 57 Condensed Oblique
Helvetica Neue (T1) 47 Light Condensed Oblique
Helvetica Neue (T1) 47 Light Condensed
Helvetica Neue (T1) 65 Medium
Helvetica Neue (T1) 77 Bold Condensed
I had went to MyFonts.com and downloaded one to test: Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed. The link to the one that I had purchased is here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/franklin-gothic/extra-condensed/
The font is installed, but Adobe does not see it. MS Word sees the font fine along with other applications. Did I purchase the wrong font or am I not doing something right with Adobe?
I have been working with this issue for a few weeks now, and are willing to try whatever I can to get the font seen by the application.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, or simliar approaches to the same problem.

I am having a similar problem. I get the list of "missing" fonts. Problem is, I have them installed but in a couple of cases the names are slightly different.
InCopy sees the fonts, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to substitute them, let alone permanently.

InCopy CS4 display language problem

Our organization has just installed InCopy CS4 (Win version). Suppose we all install Chinese version, so the display of InCopy CS4 should be Chinese. However, we found that some of our computers display english.
How can we change back to display Chinese? Some one told us to check the setting of control panel, change the language to Chinese(Taiwan). We did, but still display English, What's the problem?
Hope some one can answer my questions. Thanks

"Updated Video Drivers" seems to be the latest chorus around here.
It's like a song that you really hate and can't get out of your mind. No matter how many times you check for new video drivers, the problems don't go away.

Can PS CS6 cause font problems in In-Design CS4?

When I was running just Adobe Creative Suite 4 I didn't have any problems with the In-Design program. After loading Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6, when trying to print in In-Design CS4, I just get the spinning beach ball!
I suspect a font problem induced by CS6, but could be off base on this one. I'm running a 2010 Mac Pro. If it's a font problem, whats the best way to attack! Any suggestion will be helpful. Thanks
Jim

Do you have any 3rd party fonts installed?

Adobe InCopy CS4 Has Stopped Working

I just installed Adobe InCopy CS4, on my Windows Vista OS. Everytime I close InCopy I get the error message: Adobe InCopy has stopped working,a problem caused the program to stop working correctly,windows will close the program. I am not computer savvy so I do not know or where to look on how to fix this.Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

I am having the same problem. I have not been able to find a solution yet. I have CS5 now and it still does it like when I had CS4.
64bit will NOT open.
I gave up with CS4, but now I would like to figure out what Im doing wrong. There must be some setting that Im missing.
1. 64bit wont ever open.
2. If I open a PSD file from a folder (with no photoshop program open) windows automaticly uses 64bit... and it doesnt open.
3. If I have photoshop 32bit program already open, then I can open PSD files from folders and/or drop them in.
4. How do I make the 32bit my default when opening a PSD file, when no photoshop program is open? You can not choose 32bit as a default.
I would love to just use 64bit.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
A problem cause the program to stop working correctly.
Windos will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available.

InCopy CS4 crashes frequently - any thoughts?

I posted the below on an earlier thread, but thought I would actually create a new one for this problem.
Hi, I am also experiencing crashes with InCopy in Windows. We recently bought the software in my office, having used the free trial to test it on our machines, which worked fine. However since we started using it last week, we have had nothing but trouble.
I'd guess 1 out of 5 times we try to save the file, or check it back in, our InCopy will crash (after we wait a good 20 mins to make sure it's not just taking its time), which means we have to force quit the file. When opening up InCopy again, Ic recovers the file, and when it comes back it is locked to the user, but has a little yellow triangle meaning it is out of date (recognising that it is saved somewhere). When we try to update the file we get the dialog 'This is not a valid InDesign Interchange document' (or words to that effect).
We've tried all three work-flows: using a layout-based workflow; using assignments that are placed on the server with the InDesign documents on the designer's Mac; creating packaged assignments that we then email to each other, eliminating the server being the problem. Each time it will work for a few attempts, and will then crash when we try to save or check it back in, so we force quit and it corrupts etc etc.
We are both running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3, the processer speed of both our machines is above the recommended spec, and I have 1 GB RAM while my colleague has 2 GB. We are updated to InCopy CS4 6.0.3.
Has anyone else been experiencing this at all?
If any more information is needed please let me know. We're running behind on our production schedule already, and if the problem isn't solved, we're going to have to go back to using print-outs to mark-up changes (which nobody wants). We've tried the recommended troubleshooting - deleting Ic preferences, removing links and then creating new assignments, increasing virtual memory...
We work on directories, and so there is quite a large volume of text being worked on, as well as every line being tagged with XML so it can be exported. Could this be having an effect?
I'd appreciate anyone getting back to me with suggestions please!
Thanks,
Sarah

CS6 will have nothing to do with CS4…and by the way, there’s no point in moving InCopy users to CS6 unless the InDesign users move as well.

Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

Hello everyone,
I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
Thanks in advance.
CB

Hi,
How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
that had minor errors.
I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
this font as well as mine and many others.
10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR: The font system thinks
the font
file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
is active, but the file no longer exists!
Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
Any ideas of how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Having trouble with InDesign CS4, fonts and newspaper RIP

Hi all,
I am the production manager for a student newspaper. We've been having random font issues where text is missing or replaced with Myriad ever since we upgraded from CS3 to CS4. Our printer is saying that we may have different font versions installed on different workstations. But the machines (Intel iMacs running 10.5) are all running the same disk image, and we had no font issues when we ran CS3 on them previously (indentical font folder on every machine).
Additionally, we've had similar problems with camera-ready ad files since moving to CS4. I can't control the fonts my customers use, so how to do I rectify this with CS4? In the past we never had any problems once we made a X-1a PDF that sanitized everything.
Are there any known issues with newspaper RIPs and X-1a PDFs generated from InDesign CS4? Everything looks, prints and preflights 100% okay in-house. I have opened an affected PDF on OS X, Vista, in Acrobat and Preview and printed on genuine PostScript (Ricoh SP C811DN and Ricoh SP 8200) as well as non-PostScript printers (a little HP 1012) and cannot replicate the issue on my end, so it seems like a RIP issue to me.
I could roll everyone back to CS3 but that would be a lot of work, and we really like CS4 otherwise ... so, any ideas?
Here is a PDF you can check out. Please let me know if you see any problems with it.
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/frontpage.pdf
Here is a scan of the printed page where fonts had randomly been replaced with Myriad:
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/markedup.jpg
Preflight okay:
http://spub2.uta.edu/pix/preflight.jpg
I'm not sure if it's kosher to mention the printer's name, but this is a big one who prints national papers and one of our big local dailies, not Crazy Jim's Discount Printing or anything like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Adam,
OK, we've got your file here at Adobe. Although it preflights correctly for PDF/X, running a custom preflight profile with Acrobat 9 Pro shows font problems. (I've attached the preflight report.) The problems are not severe enough to prevent normal display and simple PostScript printing of your file, but possibly really doing a job with less forgiving software that your newspaper printer is using as part of their workflow.
Without knowing what that software and workflow is exactly, there isn't much I can do other than speculate. But there is something technically wrong with the
Bureau Grotesque and
Miller Display font families you are using? Are they OpenType fonts? Were they originally in OpenType format or did someone convert them? Anyway, if you can get permission to send me off-list the content and fonts, we would love to analyze what's going on here!

CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

Well on one hand, I was guilty of letting out a rant against all of the whiners... on the other I was trying to be a bit helpful.
Maybe it will cause someone to think before starting another "Adobe or Apple must die or fix this" thread. It grates on the nerves... considering most should "fix" their expectations, upgrade habits, and most of all, the area between their ears first... BEFORE posting.

Flash Font Problems

I'm using Flash CS4 and have wasted--over the course of the past 18 months--at least three days of work time trying, in vain, to make Flash fonts work completely consistently.
Problems: 1) Fonts don't appear after FontAgent activation (must copy to Adobe/Fonts folder), 2) Bits of styled type totally disappear on compile (haven't figured this one out and try to avoid certain faces), 3) and most recently, totally bizarre font display (looks like egg thrown against the wall), which, despite verifying the fonts, replacing them (even though they checked out fine), cleaning the font caches (with Font Finagler, nee Font Cache Cleaner), doing a million restarts and praying, are still screwed up.
One possible common thread is that these seems to be OpenType fonts. But the errors are totally inconsistent -- for example, the font with #3 above had worked fine for nearly a year before becoming hopelessly destroyed in the past five hours, and only *some* characters in #2 disappear.
I'm posting here mostly out of frustration, since previous posts on similar issues haven't yielded decent (working) solutions and Googling these problems (ad nauseam) mostly shows people using either different font managers (or none at all) or working with dynamic text. (Mine is static text.)
But perhaps someone has a definitive resource/recipe for troubleshooting and solving these font problems?
Or perhaps someone could shed some light on why Adobe uses separate font folders and caches?

OK, well! It seems that I'm **not** crazy. I just read in TidBITS today that what I saw last week was related to a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7, which apparently fixed some font security problems, but broke something having to do with OpenType fonts. I guess I made the mistake of being on the bleeding edge.
http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078
I stick by my general complaint, however. Adobe or some good member of the community should create a definitive resource for understanding and solving font problems in Flash. I've spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions in Adobe help docs, in questions posted on these forums, and Googling for solutions -- and have seen many, many others expressing my same frustration of wasted time and so-so answers. Since fonts are critical to pretty much every Flash project, this should be information that is **easy** to find.

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?
I'm working on a Power Mac G5 with OSX version 10.4.11

Hyphenation loss (indesign CS 4 -- incopy CS4)

Hi,
by creating an incopy file (.icma) out of indesign (.idd) in some incopy files the hyphenation marking gets lost --> in indesign the hyphenation is activated, but in incopy the hyphenation marking is gone.
This problem hasn't appeared in seven incopy files before but suddenly in the 8th incopy file the problem was there!
Has somebody any idea what could be the problem?
Thank you.
P.S.: Is there a handbook only for InCopy CS4 available? (not for InDesign)

I'm having the same issue. I've been experimenting with a recent document that exhibited reflowing.
The text and the Paragraph Style attributed to the text in my InDesign document have hyphenation turned on. But the InCopy file shows that hyphenation is off.
I decided to create a clean test document, and I cut and pasted just one page of text from the old InDesign document. When I created the InCopy Assignment from the new clean document, the hyphenation was preserved.
So, wondering what to do, my hunch at the moment is that the issue may lie with the fact that I've been building on the same document for several years. It started as a CS3 document. I'm going to re-create my InDesign document from scratch.
There's another forum message on the subject. I think my experiment seems to reveal another facet to the puzzle.
