Italic Font problem

Hi i am working in an application where we works in sinhalese language,we dont find any solution to display sinhalese charecter in italic font, is there any solution of it.
Thanks in advance

Ah, an extra 'e' in the name. It looks like that font does not have italic glyphs. It also has the problem where it's merely mapping Roman characters to Sinhalese, so if I turn on a Sinhalese input system I can't type in TLF with that font.
TLF requires relatively current font technology for Sinhalese - we're looking for a Sinahla OpenType table that lets us work with Sinhalese input systems. Try one of the fonts on this page: http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Sinhala.html. Iskoola Pota is the only one I've actually used, but as I said before it does have italic glyphs.

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

Italic font on mac os 10.3.9 (panther)

Our application uses a customized table cell renderer to show italic fonts for non-ediable rows.
It works fine on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), but not on 10.3.9 (Panther). The renderer just shows plain text for the rows, rather than Italic.
I have found this hint on the web:
http://javatechniques.com/public/java/docs/gui/panther-font-problem.html
Unfortunately, it doesn't help in my case. I don't have Office installed on my Mac and my ~/Library/Fonts directory is empty.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Couldn't get an answer so i gave up on it and did a search on the Yahoo website and someone had an answer. Thanks Apple for your help.

Embedded italic font using faux italic

I'm experiencing an issue while trying to create an embedded italic font using DefineFont 4. My problem is the font I'm targetting doesn't include an italic variation. Is there a way to create an italic (or bold for that matter) font using faux italic?
Something like:
Embed(source='../font_src/myFont.ttf', fontName='_MyFont', cff='true', fontStyle='fauxItalic')]
public static var _font:Class;
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Disclaimer: I am just guessing on all of this since I have never used that font and I am still on Mac OS 10.5.8.
Are you really on Mac OS 10.6.6? I think I read here that there were some font issues that were fixed with 10.6.7 or an update that came after it. Try downloading the updater and see what that does. Next I would try the font in Pages if you have it. If you don't, try it in TextEdit and see if it works there.
If neither of these work, try to delete the Keynote Preferences to see if there was something there that was messing with the font. You can find it in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and the file is called com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.

Arial Black font problems in InDesign CS2

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of a problem with the Arial Black font in InDesign CS2. I recently got a new computer running Windows XP. The computer has had MS Service Pack 3 installed. When I installed my old fonts onto the new computer and booted up InDesign, I noticed there was no Arial Black font, only Arial Black Italic. When I looked under the Arial group of fonts a Black version of the font was there, but on my old machine Arial Black is a separate font group. I've tried deleting the font cache and adding the fonts to the InDesign fonts folder as well, but it still doesn't register as a separate font family. I've also tried installing an older version of Arial Black (2.35 from 2004) and emptying the font cache but still no joy. The problem is I work on a newspaper and this font is quite common, and is used on our templates, so when I receive a page I need to change the font, which isn't ideal. Interestingly, the file name of the font is ariblk.ttf, but when you look at the icon it appears to be OpenType. The Arial Black Italic font is called ARBLI__.TTF and has a TrueType icon, and this appears as a separate font family in InDesign. Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

I'd give it a go anyway. And please keep in mind that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing.
At some point, if the current policy holds, you'll be out of the upgrade loop and will have to pay full price.

Newbie layout question - positioning of content on a wedding invitation, and cursive font problem

Hello,
Let me just state that I am a complete newbie to InDesign. I literally installed it for the first time ever the other night. I have a Creative Cloud subscription for the video editing utilities, but upon being tasked with creating a wedding invitation I realized I should give it a go. Can't be THAT hard, right?
I actually managed to squeeze something out that wasn't half bad (by my standards), but I have two remaining issues that I couldn't figure out so far. In addition, I really know nothing of the jargon. So please forgive me for my childlike descriptions of things that you guys probably have proper words for.
1. Main page layout
The invitation (the actual paper) isn't a size that exists as a preset. It is 22cm x 16.4cm in landscape mode, and there is a vertical fold in the center, so that it can be folded into a little "magazine". Well, if you do that, and count the first page as page 1, then all of the stuff I'm making goes on page 3 - the right hand, "inside" page. When I created the document in InDesign, I got the dimensions in there, I told it to create a two column layout, and tried to emulate the size of the fold (only a couple of millimeters). On the screen it looks good, but when I print to my Canon MG8250, the whole body of text (it's all centered, like horrible web design of old) is obviously placed too far to the left. The left side of one centered line of text is 1.9cm from the left side of the page (the fold in the middle of the paper), while the right side of the same text is 3.5cm from the right side of the page. Another shorter line is 2.7cm from the left side and 4.4cm from the right side (all measurements somewhat approximate). All text boxes are made to be the same width as the "title safe" part of the page (i.e. the pink/purple guidelines that InDesign made for me), and the text is centered within them. Now, my basic math skills tells me "How about you move the right margin about 0.8cm to the right - that'll make it look right!" - however, is that the right way to go about this? Anyone care to weigh in to help me see the light?
2. Centering of italic fonts
Two pieces of the text uses an italic font - the names of the bride and groom, and the names of the people the invitation is for. I liked the look of the "Kunstler Script" font, so I went with it. However, in comparison to the rest of the text (which uses the default Minion Pro for now), the italic text does not look centered at all. Of course, I see the problem knowing where the "center" actually is, because the baseline is much further to the left than the top of the letters. All I know as a layman is that InDesign and I have very different ideas about what centering actually means. Compared to the other text lines, the Kunstler Script lines appear to be much further to the right. I did another measurement. From the leftmost pixel of a name line to the leftmost pixel of the next line below, we have 0.7cm difference (the name line being wider). However, the rightmost pixel of the name line compared to the rightmost pixel of the line below is 1.5cm further to the right. Is it possible to center this in a fashion that makes it actually appear centered to a human?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Can you post some screen shots to show us the centering problem?
as for the page layout, it may work better to set you page size to the folded size of your invitation. Just do the layout in order the way you would read it, and use print booklet to output it.
or, if you need to set it up on just two pages, do it like this:

Looking for Chicago Italic Font

Aloha gang:
As you know, Pages only has our good friend Chicago font in the regular face.
I have tons of prior work/logo/webpages made via Appleworks using the italic & bold versions. Spent several hours googling but not finding.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS FONT ???
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hullo Don:
Actually I don't have Chicago in my font collection with Pages at all. From your post I assume that the regular version must be included with the "Classic" version of Mac Os, which (not having any legacy files) I have chosen not to load.
You would seem to be correct in your observation that Pages will not synthesize (or "fake") italics by simply obliquing the regular font, whereas Appleworks would seem to do this. I tried Andale on both to check.
A comprehensive selection of "Chicago" fonts can be found on www.Fonts.com, however. If you know the font, you will recognise whether these include your old friend, or are simply a different collection under the same name. I suspect, however, that what was included in Os 9 might well have been just a subset of the complete family, as bundled fonts not uncommonly are.
Notwithstanding, the genuine italics (which will be better designed, from a typographical standpoint) may not completely answer your need. If your hope was to import Appleworks including Chicago italics into Pages, the italicised fonts may not necessarily be recognised even if you bought and loaded and installed the true italic version. Having no Appleworks documents, I am unable to experiment with whether Pages will recognise the italicised font as belonging to a Chicago font it knows. If it does, the import would probably not be italicised - but if you had the genuine italic font you could then reformat the original obliqued font with it
On the other hand, if the currently available set is the one you know, and you installed it in your Pages accessible collection, you could "paste and match style" (having established a style in Chicago Italic) into Pages documents. The result, if the fonts indeed match, would not be identical - but would match the style of your previous documents except with the typeface discernibly refined. A true italic font is drawn afresh, with further adjustments to the regular font than just obliquing it. Sometimes it is altogether different, too; e.g., Didot - or most distinctly of all, Joannah.
I also recall, from a post many moons ago, that there are also third party font manipulation programs that will allow you to synthesize an italic font from a regular one. Even these, though, might pose some problems with the font names clashing. The alternative is that Pages would fail to recognise the obliqued regular font, and return a "could not open ... missing font" message or the like.
The post I distantly recall did encounter and resolve this problem. As I recall, it was found necessary to rename the generated italic font to distinguish it from the original.
Be prepared, then, for a bit of tweaking, even if you do find the Fonts.com collection includes what you want. Otherwise, maybe another poster might remember the font manipulation program that was involved in the post I am sorry I dimly recall, or otherwise be familiar with a suitable font manipulation program to which to refer you.
Your best bet might well boil down to i) whether the currently available Chicago italic is the font you're after, and ii) whether some typographical upgrading of your previous materials is better or worse for you than minutely conserving their original appearance.
The fact that fake italics were ever considered acceptable in the first place suggests that few might notice the difference, other than in examples like the above. But (IMHO) Pages is pernickety just where it should be. It pays scrupulous regard to typography - which is really the root of its charm.
Happy hunting and good luck.

Weird font problem (Crazy Diamond font)

Win XP Pro SP2 with ID 5.0.4 -- I'm using a Crazy Diamond 17th century font (www.crazydiamond.co.uk) to simulate old-style printing. Thus, "Mississippi" becomes "Miffiffippi" (long "s") and so on. If I write "This is the other" in regular or italic font, it looks as expected in Photoshop.
But in InDesign, it reads "Þis is xþe oðer" -- That is, each "th" is replaced by an old-style character. I can turn this option on and off in Photoshop, but not in InDesign. So, I wrote to Crazy Diamond and they sent a replacement regular font which cured the problem--which they already knew about. But the problem still exists in their italic font. I've written to them twice about the italic problem, with no response.
So, it's a pretty obscure problem, but I figured I'd mention it here, just in case anyone else has run into a similar problem, and knows of a work-around. I suppose I can just dump the font and use something else, but aside from this glitch, it really does what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, John

The fontsmith's info makes it quite clear that th/thorn etc. is a
localization thing. Historical is only long esses:
http://www.crazydiamond.co.uk/ot-features.html
This seems to work for me inasmuch as it certainly toggles the
otfLocale feature on and off for selected text (the equivalent of
checking/unchecking it in the OTF flyout if it were there, which it
isn't), but I don't seem to have any font with that feature to test
it on:
//ToggleLocale.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
//Nicked and adapted from another script supplied with ID CS3
//Switches between Localized and Non-localized OTF features
if (app.documents.length != 0){
//If the selection contains more than one item, the selection
//is not text selected with the Type tool.
if (app.selection.length == 1){
//Evaluate the selection based on its type.
switch (app.selection[0].constructor.name){
case "InsertionPoint":
case "Character":
case "Word":
case "TextStyleRange":
case "Line":
case "Paragraph":
case "TextColumn":
case "Text":
case "Story":
//The object is a text object; pass it on to a function.
myProcessText(app.selection[0]);
break;
//In addition to checking for the above text objects, we can
//also continue if the selection is a text frame selected with
//the Selection tool or the Direct Selection tool.
case "TextFrame":
//If the selection is a text frame, get a reference to the
//text in the text frame.
myProcessText(app.selection[0].texts.item(0));
break;
default:
alert("The selected object is not a text object. Select some
text and try again.");
break;
else{
alert("Please select some text and try again.");
function myProcessText(myTextObject){
if (myTextObject.otfLocale == true)
myTextObject.otfLocale = false;
else
myTextObject.otfLocale = true;

Italic Fonts In Gibberish

On certain sites, namely Wikipedia, the italic font shows up as gibberish. Needless to say - very annoying. I have no idea how to fix this - any help would be appreciated!

HI,
Try maintenance and see if that makes a difference.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If you post the link to the page in Wikipedia that would be helpful. I see your post on the image...
but the Wikipedia link might tell a story. It could be they are having problems with their site.

Pages 08 fonts- problems with Arial, Times New Roman - how do I repair them?
Using 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

It should be rolled into the Combo-Update:
