Issue with .ttf font family in CR10.2

Hello Community,
I'm writing this because one of our client run into an issue using .ttf (Opentype TT) fonts in Crystal Report 10.2, running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
As I learned CR10.2 is discontinued and unsupported now. The live chat advised me to ask the community and so I'm doing here.
The fonts work alright in all app on all platform. In this case, however the client cannot access the Bold nor any Italic versions from the software. Seems to me that CR10.2 can not use style-linked fonts and so making a family of fonts with no style-linking could be a solution.
There is also an issue with the ligatures: the f+i ligature renders as a single f. This could be solved by turning off the ligature but my client is unsure whether that can be done.
I'm looking for any information on these. Any help is highly appreciated!
Best
Béla

Hi Bela,
Back to the original issue... You are correct. When using the Style option in the CR Designer it works fine when previewing on the DEV PC because the Font Glyphs are mapped accordingly. When run in an application on someone elses PC though those mappings are not there...
So if you want to use BOLD then you MUST select the "font name" with "BOLD" in the name.
For example:
BentonSans Bold is what you need to use.
You should not use the Styles to select it when used in a .NET application:
Leave it as Regular....
The reason is in CR Designer ( both standalone and Embedded in Visual Studio ) use legacy runtime and the GDI.dll and usp10.dll to do the page rendering. In a VS .NET application it uses GDIPlus.dll to do the rendering and it has limitations when it comes to how font Glyphs are handled and the font Mapping feature of windows.
Also, how are they able to select the font? Are you using the craxddrt.dll ( embeddable Design Control ) in your application? This is not allowed, you are not licensed to be using it or distributing it in any application, only allowed to design reports in the VS IDE only.
Or did you build your own Report Designer using the RCAPI's?

Illustrator CS5/CS6 on OSX 10.9.1 - Issue with loading fonts.

I'm using Illustrator CS6 on OSX 10.9.1. Ever since I've upgraded to OSX Mavericks, Illustrator has stopped loading some of the document fonts even though they are enabled and available for other applications. I get the font missing dialog every time I open the artboard after a system restart. I usually resolve this by opening the Font Book app, disabling and re-enabling the fonts. This refreshes the artboard and the fonts then appear to work as normal. Initially, I suspected a compatability issue with Illustrator CS5 and OSX Mavericks, but after upgrading to CS6, I continue to have the same issue. The fonts in question are ttfs and these worked fine previously.
How can I fix this?

Do you use any third party font maangement tool?

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with the font in SAP Script PDF conversion.
The output of the form is working fine but in the PDF the output is wrong.
There is a dutch letter ' ï ' which is pinted in the form output correctly but in the PDF output the character
has been changed to '#'.
and also the alignment of some text has beed changed without line spacing in between.
Please let me know what could be the problem and how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sankara Chakradhar.

Hi Prabhudas,
I am using the FM 'CONVERT_OTF' to convert the data to pdf.
The FM CLOSE_FORM is creating the IT_OTF internal table and the CONVERT_PDF uses that internal table to populate the         IT_PDF internal table and then using the FM 'SO_OBJECT_SEND' to send the PDF file to mail.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
       EXPORTING
            format       = 'PDF'
       IMPORTING
            bin_filesize = g_filesize
       TABLES
            otf          = it_otf
            lines        = it_pdf.

Kerning different between mac and pc with ttf fonts?

Hello!
When I take a file from my PC to my company's mac the ttf font kerning is fine, but when I go from mac to pc the kernning gets all messed up. is there anything that I can do to fix this? Or do I need to buy a mac to be sure I get accurate fonts across my and my company's computers?
Thanks!

Kerning information is part of each font, whether TrueType, PostScript Type 1, or OpenType. If you have the exactly same font on both platforms (in their respective versions, if necessary), going back and forth should be a straightforward process. (The only exception concerns ligatures with TT and PS fonts, but, even there, the kerning should be unaffected.)
Are you sure you are not seeing just some screen display anomaly? Have you compared actual printed output?
Are you using a professional-grade font? Many cheap or free fonts are deficient in areas, such as kerning. You might think you have the same font on both platforms, but the "cheap" font on your Windows machine might, in fact, not be the exact equivalent of an identically named font on your company's Mac.

Can't select my fonts with my font family window

Hi gang,
I need help figuring out what I need to do. When I compose a New Mail document, I have Fonts that I can click and a separate window comes up and I can change fonts if I want. Well, I used to be able to! Now when I click the Font button I get a blank window with nothing but sizes.There's nothing in the Family section. I can't make anything italic or bold unless I use the key commands.
For normal typing it's not a big deal since I do have my default font. But when I copied and pasted a section from Wikipedia, I can't even change the fonts to match my default font, because when I select the passage of course no fonts show up in the Fonts family window. Is there a way to get this back to normal?
Any helpful feedback would be appreciated. I'll check back tomorrow.

Hi Iris,
I know this sounds dumb, but in the Collections
column of Fonts do you have "All Fonts"
highlighted?
Some of my "Collections" don't have any corresponding
"Families" therefore no list of fonts - only sizes.
Regards,
John
Hi John,
Thanks for responding to me, I appreciate it very much. There is no "Collections" column, so I don't have anywhere to select "All Fonts" on my Fonts palette. Like I explained, all I have are two sub-windows: one says "Family", and the other says "Size". There are four icons above the two sub-windows that show underscore, strikethrough, color of letter, and color of document. Below the two sub-windows is the search window. So, I don't have anywhere to select "All Fonts".
It wasn't a dumb question, it just seems to not apply to me! Thank you for even trying though...

Ive got CS6 and it has issues with ariel font

since getting CS6 ive had issue with typing words. i found out PHS dosent like the ariel font so removed this from my libarys. font book and PHS. did the crash report and everything the blogs said to do to remove a font but my layouts keep jumping when i type, the type weither its times, apple chancey etc changes to symbols and ^:" . jumps the layout from big to small and is really annoying . help please. im running 10.6.8 on an Imac.. i used ariel for everything and have had to change to myrad pro but this makes no diffence..what can i do to fix a courpted font that dosent exist in my computer?

I've just done a restore (it asked if i wanted to restore with the back up so I said yes) but it is exactly the same. The 'slide to unlock' doesnt slide. It was working perfectly earlier today! Do you think a system restore without the backup would make any difference?
Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated.

Weird issues with menu font, Spotlight indexing, etc.

Hi all,
About a week ago, my PB G4 was freezing a lot; I'd have to hold the power button to shut it down, and if I tried to start it up again, it would chime and the light would come on, but the screen wouldn't light up and there would be no disc/fan sound. Or sometimes the screen would light up and the disc would boot, but it would either freeze at the grey screen or just after getting to my desktop. This was all similar to some issues I had over the summer when my hard drive was getting too full, but now I've got 22GB free (out of 90GB), so that shouldn't be a problem. I have OnyX and have run it a couple times in the last few months for cleanup.
So anyway, last week, I read what I could find on the forums here and in my user's guide. I tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, but after the second chime sound (when it's okay to release the keys), it froze on the restart, so I wasn't sure if it worked or not. (I have since tried resetting this, and it's worked normally.) I booted from the Install DVD and reset the startup disk. I ran Apple Hardware Test, and everything checked out okay. My S.M.A.R.T. status was "verified." I also ran Disk Utility to repair permissions and disk, but got an error during disk repair that the repair could not be completed.
Somewhere in all of this, on one of the restarts, all of the text in the menu at the top of the screen changed so that each character was replaced with a small square with a capital letter A in it. This is annoying, though I've mostly been able to get around it using keystroke commands or just remembering where things were in the menus. The same character display issue is also true of the text beneath every icon on my desktop and in Finder windows-- though if I click on those as if to rename those files, I can see the name in a regular font. In the Finder, if I switch it to list view rather than icon view, the texts for the file and application names appear normal. When dialog boxes (for errors or commands) come up, the text in those sometimes appears as these little boxed characters.
Oddly enough, my computer's been working better since this happened... or at least, I haven't had any more restart issues. However, I've noticed some other weird things besides just the menu fonts. If I click the Spotlight icon to do a search, it always shows that it's indexing my computer. Yesterday I tried to print a Word document and just got an error simply saying "Word cannot print." I'm wondering if these and the menu font issues are all related to the disk errors that Disk Utility encountered, and what I should try next.
Anybody encountered this before?

Hi, rhiannon. Your hard drive's directory is seriously corrupt — so seriously that Disk Utility can't fix it. You have three choices:
1. If your hard drive's contents are backed up in the form of an up-to-date bootable clone of your hard drive from just before your problems began, simply clone the clone from your external backup drive back onto the internal drive. This will erase the internal drive, including whatever is corrupt on it, and replace its contents with the contents of your backup. You will be back to normal quickly.
2. Use a more potent disk Utility such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive directory. If you don't have all your data backed up elsewhere, this is the way to go.
3. If you have your data backed up, but not in a bootable clone form, start up from your Tiger installer DVD, erase your hard drive, and reinstall everything on it from original software installer discs and from your data backups, afterward applying all the necessary software updates again. This is very time-consuming.

Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

I only see the following error messages when I enter design
view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
transcoding
Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
file.)
These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
running the Flex app.)
I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
@font-face{
src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
fontStyle: regular;
I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
Anyone have an issue like this before?

I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
from scratch this time, sorry.
The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
(now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
than just a developer.

Having issues with certain fonts in iWeb

this has been an ongoing issue, and it seems to always be the same font.
HelveticaCyrA-Bold
HelveticaCyrA-BoldInclined
HelveticaCyrA-Inclined
HelveticaCyrA-Upright
HelveticaInseratCyrA-Upright
I do not have an original because i do not how these fonts got installed onto my machine. Everytime I create a new webpage within iWeb, it seems to default on these particular fonts for the navigation menu. any help would be appreciated
running iWeb 1.1.2

You should get rid of these fonts from your machine completely, as they are non-Unicode and will only cause trouble on OS X in general, which confuses them with the real Helvetica. Afterwards clean you font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).

Firefox 3.6 Font Issues with OSX Font Server

Just wondering if anyone's found a fix. There's an ongoing Firefox issue that keeps getting fixed (I have asked there with no luck) with updates but I'm wondering if perhaps there's a plist issue that someone might know about. What happens is that some fonts are either bolded or italicized by the system. The fix is to restart OSX's font server through the Terminal and it works — at least until you restart. I've validated fonts with Font Book but so far, everything's fine on that end.

While I have not contacted Adobe, I am sure the answer will be don't use Firefox 3.6.8. ( The compliment to the answer you gave. It not Firefox that has the problem but Adobe.)
Since the only solution that I have seen is to disable the key reason to use Firefox 3.6.8 (crash protection) then the problem would appear to be in how Firefox as done the crash protection.

IMOVIE issue with blurred fonts on title screens

Hoping someone knows a reason why a newly created title that appears fine (readable fonts) in the preview pane is blurred when viewing full screen option? pitch is set at 48 - marker felt font with outline option - Use to work fine -

Can you try to convert the EPS in the Distiller to a PDF file, but make sure that
you have not used any false style on the first place in the file,
that all used fonts and styles are installed on the computer,
that the file and the licence is allowing you to embed the font into a PDF and
that you make a Distiller Joboption which will embed completely all used fonts, or at least all used glyphs.

Issue with Smartform Font Style/Size

Hi All,

Used the same in some smartforms, which is working fine in my testing server. When I transported the same to my quality server the output of Smartforms are displayed in font style " Courier " .
I checked all the objects in Quality server, it's as t is in Testing server.
Times font is also available in Quality server/
Could anyone of you can suggest anu solution for it ?
Thanks,
SA

hey smita,
you have to transport that particular smartstyle in which you have creted paragraph formats and char formats.. so transport the styles too to quality.
hope this will help you out..

Issue with MICR Font PDF Output

Hi I have a custom Check Printing template, I have installed the IDAutomationMICR Font in my personal Desktop.
I am able to see the MICR font output when I preview the template as RTF, where as when I preview with PDF, the MICR Font text doesnt get picked up, and gets rendered normally.
Is there something which I am missing here.
Thanks
TK

TK/Hershel,
It's been a while since I've done it, but I believe you need to add an entry for the MICR font to your local xdo.cfg file for the PDF preview to be able to pick it up. Check out something like http://cali97.blogspot.com/2007/10/bi-publisher-barcoding-in-oracle.html. That's for barcode fonts, but I believe the steps are the same.
Hope that helps,
Glen

Safari issue with Times font

Hello
For some reason, my Safari (2.0.4) is now having trouble displaying any page that seems to have Times on it. I never had this problem before and not sure why it just started. I've been using Font Agent for a while, and even shut it off just to make sure.
Here's a screengrab of a web page showing the garbled font. Also in the screengrab I have Safari preferences located -- the Standard font that is selected is Times, but that, too, appears garbled.
http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture3wi1.png
I change change it to another font with success but Times doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Hello mo:
I would run "resolve duplicates" and the "validate fonts" from the font book application. I would also get rid of any other haxies you have installed.
