Install a customer font

Hi all,
we set the parameter gs_docparams-dynamic mit abap_true for generating the form, beause we locate some form objects dynamically. Now we need to embed our customer font other licenses (for the dynamic form design).
So, we installed the font (for dynamic design) on the ADS, but it is still the same problem, that the font is not embedded in the PDF.
Should the font be installed on the ADS and the client?
Do somebody have install instructions? ...or other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi,
What ever font you installed in ADS, Same font you need to install in your Desktop/Laptop where you are designing form.
Once the fonts are installed, they are visible in your form and you can include the fonts in the form.
Note: After Installing the font in ADS, you need to restart the ADS Service(Normally basis people will do this)
Thanks.

Installing type 1 font in Windows 7 - AWEFUL customer support

I purchased and installed Helvetica Bold Oblique font this morning and downloaded it to install on my computer. I have @600 fonts on my machine, so this isn't my first attempt at installing fonts, but it's certainly been the most annoying and it's exposed Adobe customer support as one of the most incompetent I've dealt with in decades. Let me preface this by saying I've had every version of Adobe Creative Suite software and use the products extensively, but this painfully simple issue of installing ONE FONT has got on my last nerve.
So, when attempting to install the font, it errors and provides the following feedback: The file is a 'PFB' file for a type 1 font and cannot be installed directly. Please install the associated 'PFM' file. I've downloaded the font files twice, and neither includes a 'PFM' file. There's a 'PFB' file and 'AFM' file, but no PFB file. I even tried installing the 'AFM' file, but no luck. After spending over an hour on the phone with a completely computer illiterate foreign support staffer, I'm at the end of my rope. She didn't know the first thing about Windows 7, and starts telling me to look for options that don't even exist in the operating system. I SIMPLY NEED TO INSTALL ONE FONT.
So, is there anyone that can help make this the simple 5 second operation that it should be? I'll have to ask for some latitude on the anger - I'm just blown away at how stupidly difficult this has become, when it should be as simple as flipping a light switch. Any help is much appreciated.
System:
3.2 Xeon Quad core
2x2 TB drives
2x1 TB drives
32 GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro 5600 display adapter
Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe CS4 Master Collection

I'm sorry to hear about the frustration. I'm not using Windows 7 yet, but it does sound like its font installation process has changed. I did some searching and came up with a free utility to convert the AFM and INF files that come with Type 1 fonts to the PFM file that is needed (along with the actual PFB font file).
The utility is called AfmToPFM and can be found on this site: http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm (direct link at http://www.proximasoftware.com/afmtopfm/)
I have never tried it, but I did see a couple of references to it being the solution for installing Type 1 fonts into Windows 7.

Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

Hi,
For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

RDLC Reports with Custom Font - Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Hi,
I got an ASP.NET MVC (Razor View Engine and C#) application running on a Windows Azure Web Role.
I use RDLC local reports to create pdf files with printable price tags with respective barcodes.
I got it working on Azure after installing the barcode font (TrueType) using a start-up task. Recently, it stopped working without me changing anything related to this functionality.
I'm getting the following error and so far I didn't find any solution. I know the problem is the barcode font because the pdf is generated well with a standard font like Arial. Also, it works perfectly with barcodes when running the app
locally on my computer.

Hi Vitor,
Thanks for your posting!
It seems that the error may have more than one possibilities. I recommend you could try to use the Azure remote debugger to debug your cloud service project on Azure instance. Please see this tutorials:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cie/archive/2014/01/24/windows-azure-remote-debugging.aspx
You could debug your code using the cloud service URL.
And you could enable the Diagnostics feature for collecting Logging Data by Using Azure Diagnostics (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/gg433048.aspx).

Using custom fonts in iBooks Author

I have a book in South Asian (Indic) script. The encoding is Unicode. I wanted to see how different fonts would look on iPad. Using iBook Author i created two different versions of the book. One used Gujarati MT, Apple supplied font. The second used open source TTF font. It checked out fine by MacOS when I installed it. The rendering of conjuncts (which would use additional glyph present in the font file) on iBook Author looks good. When I use "preview" function of iBook Author to see how the content would look on iPad, conjuncts dont use special glyph but only standard character (I guess GSUB is not utilized). I tried the same experiment with Arial Unicode MS and Shruti both are standard fonts provided under Windows. it appears that only Apple supplied fonts have correct glyph substitution on iPad.
Is there a way to fix it?
If the issue is with iBook Author, I can use another software. My book is plain text so Author is an overkill. I was using it to test embedding of custom fonts because Author is easy to use.
If the issue is missing definition in the font that is required by iPad rendering engine, I can get the font author to enhance the font.
I attach four images. First two are from iBook Author where rendering is correct. The next two are from iPad where rendering using non Apple font is messed up.

Is comment about enhancing the font to support AAT still relevant? Are you saying that iOS needs those AAT extension that macOS does not need? Is this mostly around MORX table?
iOS (and OS X) comes with two Gujarati fonts, Gujarati MT and Gujarati Sangam MN. So the easiest thing to do is to use one of those.   Other platforms will probably have their own default Gujarati fonts with different names.
If you want to embed a different Gujarati font in your .ibooks format book, then you will indeed have to convert that font from OpenType to AAT before iBooks will display it correctly.   It's not true that OS X no longer needs AAT Indic fonts -- Pages for example still cannot use Opentype Indic fonts.
To convert an Opentype Indic font to an AAT Indic font I think someone will have to add a morx table along the lines of what is contained in Gujarati MT.
Bear in mind that iBooks Author creates a format that can only be read on an iPad (unless you want to export to PDF). If you want to produce books for all platforms and readers, then you need to use .epub format and a different app, like Pages or Indesign.   With epub format you would probably not normally try to embed fonts but just rely on the reader to supply whatever Gujarati font is already on the device.

IWeb 08 - Custom Fonts not loading Anymore

All,
When I had iWeb '06 installed I could use custom fonts when designing and the fonts would display on any computer without having to install them. It seems that iWeb '06 used to load them as images.
Now in iWeb '08 that doesn't seem to be the case. Now you have to have the fonts on your system to view them. Anyone know a way in '08 to change this. Or should I just create those portions as images then add them to the page?
Thanks to all who respond.

HI phantom27,
While in iWeb, go to iWeb help and type in fonts in the search box.
In the results page, look at the bottom where it says "iWeb:Tips for making text appear consistant in all browsers. It will give you all the info you need.

Including custom fonts in installer packages...

Sup Gents,
Is it possible to include downloaded custom fonts in an installer package..? I'm aware other files like text files can be included but unsure how to include a font file (.ttf) files...
Good weekend to all...
Strokes

Strokes,
In relation to your first post asking how to include a custom font in an installer.
Add the .ttf (font file) to your project, under your project explorer: My Computer (right click) >> Add >> file >> .ttf (font file)
You will need to write a .bat file that will copy the .ttf (font file) from your installation destination to C:\Windows\Fonts\
Here's how you add the font installation to your installer
Under your Installer Properties >> Advanced >> Run executable at end of installation (check box) >> select .bat file
This will run the batch file after the installation
I recommend having a read of this:

Using a custom font: Not appearing in Adobe

I am using a custom font for a project at work. The font has been installed on my machine and works great in other programs (Microsoft Word and Open Office, for example). The font is not displaying on the font list in Flash or Photoshop, however. How can I make the font appear?

HOW TO: using custom fonts in native storyboard views from an ANE on iOS

Hey,
In our apps, we have embedded storyboards into an ANE, and successfully used those screens in an AIR app, and figured out how to use custom fonts in those views.

Hi WayHsieh,
>>can I just "install" fonts through Word App? Does Word Apps have enough privilege to install fonts on Windows? Can I just click a button in Word App, and then it will install fonts automatically?<<
Based on my understanding, it is hard to achieve the goal. Because the app webpage is hosted inside an Internet Explorer control which, in turn, is hosted inside an app runtime process that provides security and performance isolation and it is under
low-Integrity level.
Here is the figure for apps for Office runtime environment in Windows-based desktop and tablet clients:

Custom fonts won't load

Hello!
One of my users got CS6 installed a while ago, along with some custom fonts our company uses (called Bliss fonts). I installed the fonts myself, going through the windows Fonts folder - Add fonts. But Photoshop won't load in the fonts. They are nowhere to be found in the fonts list, and when the user opens a picture that contains the font and he tries to edit it, it says that the fonts are not available and PS will do a font substitution.
I've tried reinstalling the fonts, renaming (adding .old) to some maps accociated with PS (it was about corrupted files, something I found around here) but that didn't solve it either. The fonts are readily available in other programs such as Word and PPT. Does anyone have any tips? We're running WinXP if that's any help.

Your fonts do not contain proper identification info/ redundant identification info that matches anotehr font and Adobe programs therefore ignore them/ hide them for safety. This needs to be rectified in the font files themselves using a font editing software. Happens a lot when some lazy font designer just slapped in the company logos into a standard font and didn't edit all that stuff...

How do I install a custom ppd to create postscript files in Windows 7?

I recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and installed my Creative Suite on it. I can't however install adobe's universal postscript driver which enables me to use my custom ppd for my printer (not an actual machine printer but the print company I sent my files to for printing). I can't find any postscript driver from Adobe that work with Windows 7. I hope thats not the case. I know in InDesign I can print straight to a postscript file anyway, but there is ppd box with that option to select your custom ppd's. I just have no way of installing my custom ppd. I would think this would be a big problem for others in the print industry (well for those in the industry that use PC's which are few), but I'm not finding any discussions on this online. Can anyone help?

There never was an Adobe PostScript driver for either Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7. What was posted on the Adobe downloads site was an installer to associate a user designated PPD with the standard Windows PostScript driver (PSCRIPT). That installer does not work on any version of Windows beyond Windows XP, 32-bit. Adobe has no intention of updating that installer.
Workarounds include installing a driver for a different PostScript printer and then editing or replacing the PPD file associated with that PPD file after it has been installed. Alternatively, you can develop the appropriate .INF file pointing to your PPD file for use by the Add Printer wizard. Such a solution allows you to name the printer or pseudo-printer whatever you want.

HOWTO: Create a Boot Configuration That Has No Driver Signature Checks. Disable Driver Integrity Checks and Install a Custom Non-Signed Driver

Hello,
Recently, I had a task where I needed to install a custom non-signed driver onto my Windows 8 64-bit setup. As it is known, Windows has driver enforcement policies that, as a security measure, do not allow you to install non-signed drivers.
I did not want to alter my current boot configuration so I decided to create a separate boot entry that would have driver signing policies disabled. For some reason I did not find any good source that would contain a step-by-step instruction on completing
this task, so I decided that I'd better share my experience here.
Lastly, there are multiple ways how you could turn off driver enforcement policies, but I find the way to do this via boot manager.
Here's how you can do that.
1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes) to find Command prompt, then click Command prompt icon. If you have User Account Control turned on, hold Ctrl+Shift keys pressed when clicking the icon.
This will force Windows to ask you for elevation of command prompt. Elevation is necessary for editing Boot Configuration Database (BCD), the database used by Windows boot manager to store boot settings.
2. In the User Account Control window click Yes to confirm elevation of command shell.
3. At the command prompt type
bcdedit
to list your BCD entries.
This will give you an output like:

The section that starts with Windows Boot Manager lists current settings for the boot menu. Here you find what boot entry is chosen by default, this is the one what you will boot into if you do not select any boot entry in the
boot menu.
The following record
default {current}
indicates that by default my Windows boots into configuration which I use at the moment (currently booted Windows configuration).
To find out what exactly is current configuration, look into the list of boot entries, records that contain boot loader configuration and are titled as Windows Boot Loader in the bcdedit output.
For example, the entry shown above is one of my boot configurations. This is one of the boot entries listed on the boot manager screen when I start my PC and it looks like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}

systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {a329b5cf-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
nx OptIn
bootmenupolicy Standard
This record has a unique GUID identifier that can be used to reference this boot entry, which is:
identifier {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
If we look at the Windows Boot Manager settings, we'll see this entry is the first in order to be displayed in the boot menu on OS start (I marked the unique bits):
displayorder {a329b5d0-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
{a329b5cc-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
It references my VHD drive, a virtual hard drive where my Windwos 8 setup is residing:
device vhd=[D:]\win8prowmc01.vhdx
And it also specifies that the boot manager must use UEFI BIOS extension code to access my Windows boot partition:
path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
3. Now locate the current boot entry.
Current boot entry contains boot settings used to boot into Windows configuration to which you are currently booted. It is referenced in the list of boot entries as a Windows Boot Loader record that has the {current} keyword inside and may
look like:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {current}
device vhd=[D:]\win8rtm.vhdx
path \Windows\system32\winload.efi

hypervisorlaunchtype Auto
Because we are more than happy with current configuration and want to base our new boot configuration on these settings, we need to copy this boot entry ({current}) to a new boot entry.
This is done by running the following command:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Driver Signature Check"
Parameter /d here indicates that the following sequence of characters specifies the display name for the new boot entry that we are creating. The name inside the double quotes will be displayed in the boot menu when you boot your Windows.
In other words, if you know restart your system, you'll see the new No Driver Signature Check in the boot menu.
When copied, the entry is automatically given a new GUID identifier, so upon running the command above, you'll see the following line returned (you'll have an other GUID since these are unique identifiers):
The entry was successfully copied to {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}.
4. Make sure the entry has been successfully created.
Run the same bcdedit. (You may specify /enum or /v, or both /enum /v parameters at the prompt to get more detail about boot entries, but simple bcdedit is just enough to see the new entry):

The entry has been created and given a unique a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240 ID. It now has exactly same boot settings as the boot entry we used to boot into current configuration of Windows.
5. Modify created No Driver Signature Check entry and specify that Windows must have driver integrity checks disabled when booted using this boot entry.
Any modifications to boot entries are made using /set parameter. To indicate that we modify a specific boot entry, we must specify the GUID for the No Driver Signature Check record, which is:
identifier {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240}
In other words, to edit (add or change) an option for the boot entry, we need to use the following command syntax:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set GUID <boot_option> [<option_value>]
First, we must specify that we don't want integrity checks be made. This is done by adding the loadoptions option and setting it to DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS value:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} loadopti
ons DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
The operation completed successfully.
6. Verify that load option has been added.
Run the bcdedit command:

7. Add the option that turns on test signing mode and disables checks of driver signature.
Adding the testsigning option and setting it to ON does the trick for us:
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {a329b5d8-fb29-11e1-a74d-f2c962d62240} TESTSIGNING ON
8. Now we have a boot entry that enables Windows not to do integrity checks and digital signature validation.
We check it by running bcdedit:

9. Type 'exit' without quotes to exit from command prompt, and restart Windows.
Upon booting you will be present with a new boot option to start Windows in configuration that allows you to install custom non-signed drivers.
Hope this will help anybody to create their own custom boot configurations.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...
