InDesign 5 Bold missing from Font Style

In a previous project on the same Mac I used Palatino (TT) with Bold. On a new project the Bold option does not show as available in the drop down even though I am sure that the bold version of the font is available. Only Bold Italic and Italic show as available. The only way I can get a word to be Bold is to paste a bold word in from another document and then retype the word, which is very tedious. Obviously I am a bit of a newbie so would appreciate guidance on how to find that pesky font.

The (TT) after the font name usually indicates you have more than one version installed. Perhaps the bold is part of the other version.

InDesign CS5 not recognizing font style

I recently installed InDesign CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. One of the fonts I have installed (both in the Windows/fonts folder and the InDesign font folder), Futura Lt Cn Bt, only shows up as an italics style, not a normal style.

The italics version shows up in ID and is installed in both my main font folder and my ID fonts folder. However, the "regular" or non-italics version, is also installed in my main fonts folder. I seem to have found a solution by finding a free download of this style (i.e. non-italics) of Futura. It created a separate font entry in my ID (rather than just adding a different style to my exisiting Futura Lt Cn Bt listing), but all seems to be working. Thanks for your help!

Some characters show as grey box (missing from font?)

Browsing, e.g. <http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch4.html#x10-820061>, some of the characters are replaced by a grey placeholder box. Comparing with the desktop, one seems to be U+22C6, so I'm thinking that it can't find a font to display that with. But it seems to affect some ordinary ASCII-range characters too, in Fig 4.1 and following text at the URL above, so maybe there's more going on?
More generally, from other questions here I gather that Firefox is using its own fonts rather than relying on what's on the device already. So, can I shore that up with some good fallback fonts like symbola?

Firefox will use Charis or Clear Sans by default. Though if the glyph is not found in those fonts it will check the other system fonts such as Roboto or Droid Sans.
The glyph coverage should be the same as Chrome or the 'browser/internet' application. If it is not then we would need a copy of the fonts installed on the phone as we have run into phones that ship corrupt fonts. Doing this requires the Android SDK and executing the following command
adb pull /system/fonts/
Then zip the fonts and share them with us.

Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

Font style not available on select machines (Captivate 5)

Cap community,
For most of our projects, I selected Lucida Sans as the default font for most caption types. Internally we would hand a single project file off between 2-3 different people and didn't have any issue until recently my boss does not have the Lucida Sans Regular font style while at least three others of us do.
Below and left is a screenshot from my machine that shows the Regular font style. Below and right is a screenshot from my boss showing the missing Regular font style.
The obvious thing to check is that she does in fact have the same font family and not just the Italic, Demibold Italic, and Demibold families. However, we both have the same font on our Windows > Fonts folder. Here is a screenshot of that font from the Windows font viewer. The font name is Lucida Sans Regular (TrueType) and the filename is LSANS.TTF (oddly enough, the font viewer describes it as OpenType even though the name in Windows Explorer reads TrueType... but this is the same for both our machines so it doesn't appear to be a different variable).
We even carefully uninstalled her Lucida Sans font family and copy/pasted my font file to her machine to ensure we had the same one, and still no joy. Has anyone run across this issue? Seems like it could be either a font issue or Captivate, but leaning toward Captivate since we feel relatively sure that we have the same font.
BTW, as a result of this difference when she opens the .cpx project file I'm working on it replaces all the Regular font styles with her Demibold or Demibold Italic, which throws everything off if she wants to publish to swf or Word doc.
Best,
Danny

Hi Danny
Two things:
First, please submit this as a bug to Adobe using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (link is in my sig)
I say this because Adobe needs to be aware of this issue. And it relates directly to my second thing below.
Secondly, I've seen others report missing fonts and such that were present in Captivate 4 but not in Captivate 5. To date, I don't recall seeing anyone from adobe answer any of these threads with a reason or a solution. So I'm hopeful that by all affected reporting this as a bug, someone will finally hear back from Adobe on the issue. If that happens, I'm also hopeful that one of these threads will be updated to advise why this is happening.
Cheers... Rick

InDesign CC missing fonts

I have a laptop that I use when I have to work away from home. My laptop is a macbook pro that I recently purchased (early October 2013). Both my iMac and macbook have gone through the recent updates to Mavericks and my iMac is working fine with Creative Cloud. However, when I was trying to open documents I share through Drop Box on my laptop, using InDesign CC that was just upgraded a few days ago, I was told I was missing 3 fonts, all fonts that are always in InDesign. So I turned off my computer and rebooted it, and now it's telling me I'm missing 9 fonts! I have to go out of town for a famiy emergency tomorrow and I need my laptop. I've searched and have no clue how to fix this. This is a headache I really don't need right now, so any help is much appreciated.
These are the missing fonts:
Bell MT Bold
BlairMdlTCTT medium
Book Antiqua Bold
Bookman Old Style
Bookman Old Style Bold
Cambria
Cooper Black
Mona Lisa Solid ITCTT
Big Caslon Medium
And honestly, I haven't tried uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign CC - is this possible?

Are you perhaps using Suitcase Fusion?

Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
I have attached an example.
I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
Here is the example

Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself! Hopefully our article (to which you linked) was of some help in that process. Let us know if you need anything else.

[Perm] InDesign missing necessary fonts or CMAP files.

Hi there...
I searched and found a thread on this before but I still haven't been able to solve my problem.
I performed a clean install of Jagaur on my system. G3 iMac DV SE 500 Mhz (Snow) and it has 768 MB RAM.
I then installed InDesign 2.0 from the CD and it installs fine. When I launch InDesign I get the error that "Missing Required Fonts or CMAP file. Please reinstall InDesign" -- I've reinstalled about 50 times with the same result.
I've tried the following:
- Deleting all instances of Adobefnt.lst
- Deleting all InDesign support files from the root>library>application support>adobe folder and the user>username>library>preferences folder.
I'm at my wits end. InDesign performs flawlessly on my Titanium Powerbook G4, also running Jaguar.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
:) Mordy

I FOUND IT!!!
For some odd reason, the Application Support in my user>username directory was locked and owned by the system -- therefore, the ID installer couldn't put the files there (the files WERE in the root>library>application support folder but I guess that wasn't good enough. Anyway, I reset the owner of the folder to myself (admin) and then manually copied the fonts and cmap files there and it launched!!!
YAY!!!!!
Thanks to everyone who helped both physically and mentally...

Indesign CS6 " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem"

Hi all
I'm running Indesign CS6 in Windows 7. Lately, when the program is opening, I'm getting the error pop-up: " The program can't start because Core Foundation_v11.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix the problem" When I click OK the program continues to load as normal, with nothing abnormal going on that I can see. I'd like to get rid of the error message though. I've tried re-installing, and scanning for problems with several anti-virus and anti-malware programs, all to no avail (no sign of any virus or malware). Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to restore the missing file? Many thanks for any help.
Wayne

With a bit more searching I found the source of the problem. For anyone interested it's explained here
Missing file: CoreFoundation_v11x64.dll
I tried to install a trial of Extensis Suitcase last week but for some reason it failed to install. It was after that I started noticing the error message, but because Suitcase had failed to load I didn't connect the two events! After reading the above thread implicating Suitcase, I looked in the InDesign plugins folder and, lo and behold, a folder called Font Activation that contained Extensis files! I moved them out and the error message is gone!
Thanks again to P Spier and thanks to Adobe for these forums.

InDesign CS4 missing fonts

I'll try this again. After upgrading from CS2 to CS4, there are many fonts missing from my system, in particular the Warnock Pro family. How do I get it back?

My CS2 Premium came withe a disk called Resources and Extras, and in that disk is a folder called Goodies. In the InDesign subfolder you'll find some fonts. Ther is also a folder called documentation, and in that folder you'll find another called Fonts which is where Bickham Script Pro and Warnock Pro are hidden.
Similarly, CS4 came with a disk labeled Content, with a Goodies folder containg a Fonts subfolder. I'm not sure about wheter you woould get those disk images with a download, but I think so.
You can install those fonts normally as with any font -- you wouldn't need to run the CS2 or CS4 installer to access them.

When starting InDesignCS2 received new error message -- InDesign is missing required system fonts or

We are not able to start Indesign CS2 without getting the error message: <<InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.>> This is on WinXP. Recently I installed Creative Suite CS4. It took almost a day to install. The installation kept on stopping. Each time we were able to install one more program. After checking all of the programs we discovered that Firefox would not start due to a possible font error. After reading many posts I decided to uninstall a lot of fonts since I did not know which one was the culprit. However now I am missing a font (at least I hope that this is caused by a missing font and not anything else) that should be there and I don't know which one it should be. I did uninstall a <lot> of fonts and don't remember which ones. WE did uninstall all CS2 programs and then reinstalled only the necessary three. However that did not make any difference. Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome Thanks Pia Pehtla

Flash CS5 IDE on OS X missing several font families from property inspector

I'm missing several font families from the properties character font family inspector in my Flash CS5 ide on os x. These fonts are present in my font dir and are available in all my other CS5 suite applications (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects, etc).

How to copy a Specific Font Style from one instance to another?

I am using RoboHelp HTML V.7.
I need to change multiple instances of one style to another. Is there a way to assign a specific font style from one instance of the style to another location (like MS Word style painter), or add the specific style to a shortcut key, or add the specific style the toolbar, or any other suggestions which may expedite my plight?

Identify the "class=MyStyle" string in the MTML code, and use the Multi-File Find and Replace feature to step through each topic and change the specific instances to "class=MyOtherStyle." (I doubt that you'll want to "Replace All".)
Sorry, there's no silver bullet!
Good luck,
Leon
