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.

Could you provide a screen shot of the gibberish (tom at bluesky dot org)?

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.

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.

Can I make a non-italic font italic with indesign.

I have a client who insists I can take a font they want me to use that does not come in italic and make it italic? I think I remember you used to be able to do this in quark but is there some way to do it in indesign?

To expand on Peter's responses ...
You can oblique text as he describes, however, that does not make a true italic style. It is only a “slanted” version of the orignal style. A number of san serif font families have oblique styles instead of true italic styles where such slanted (“obliqued”) version of typefaces are provided as part of the font family although in many such cases, the font style is still labelled (or maybe better put, mislabelled) as “italic” as opposed to “oblique.” This hackery is much less common for serif font families.
A true italic font actually have a different design that the underlying “normal” / “regular” style. Typically, these differences are most pronounced in a lower case “a” or “g” for example.
You may want to point this out to your client, contrasting text rendered with the artifically obliqued font with that rendered with a true italic font in a similar font family. They may or may not actually care, but at least they won't complain about it afterwards.

Corrupt Helvetica Italic font

I have a corrupt Helvetica Italic font (Helvetica non-italic is fine). I reinstalled the OS and updated it - no change. Anyone have a fix?
I'm running 10.4.5.

Myriad Roman/Italic - font licensing issue?

Dear all,
I'm asking your help regarding a small issue with the Myriad Roman and Myriad Italic font.
Today I opened an "old" document I created in a previous Illustrator version (CS 6). But when I wanted to save it into a pdf file, a bad message told me some parts of the file can't be saved due to font restriction: The font Myriad-Roman could not be embedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroke text will not be visible.
How can I manage this? I have a lot of documents with Myriad Roman or Italic in it, so this is very disturbing for me right now... :-/
Thanks in advance fo your help

The fact that you freely “downloaded” these fonts makes this all very suspicious.
Yes, you can replace these Myriad typefaces with the equivalent Myriad Pro OpenType typefaces, some of which were bundled with CS6 and earlier software. The investment in terms of modifying your content is relatively low if you have used styles appropriately and even if not, Illustrator will prompt you if a font is missing and let you globally replace (you would of course, remove those crufty, possibly hacked old Myriad typefaces first). If you don't have access to those previously bundled, the cost of getting a license for them in both $ and time is quite low compared to other alternatives.

Can we write in Italic font on to the screen by using the WRITE Statement

Hello Abappers,
Can we write in Italic font on to the screen by using the WRITE Statement.
Please reply.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
>Sandeep Wrote:
If you have the codepage for Italian language installed in your machine , you can write the same.
The OP is asking about italic font not about the language.
You need to upload font files ITALICI.TTF. Go to SE73 . Click on Install True type font and upload the italic file on to your system.
Check Font Attribute Italic
We already have help files on this. Refer:
[Using TrueType Fonts|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/5b3438fd263402e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm]
I don't have idea on write statement in ABAP reports. Hope it cannot be.

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.

Is it possible to mix italic and non-italic fonts in an axis label?

Is it possible to mix italic and non-italic fonts in an axis label in diadem reports?

No, there is no chance to do this.
You can only use the "Textobjekt" to mix italic and non-italic fonts.

How can I persuade Mail to accept an Italic font as a default. I need to click on each message page to get Italics

When I choose an Italic font in Mail preferences, I find I need to re select the same font after I have opened Mail messages.
I would like to use a font other than Helvetica and not have to select Italics every time I use Mail.
The same goes for making an INDENT a permanent default feature, this will prevent printed items being too near the LHS.
best wishes to all
BJM.

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

PDETextGetBBox returns incorrect value with Italic font

Hello,
I use PDETextGetBBox to retrieve the BBox of PDETextRun which are created with an italic font (in my case Arial Italic). Unfortuantely the returned AsFixedRect is not correct because it doesn't take into account the skewing of the char.
Is it normal? A bug? A wrong usage of the SDK method?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Ok but the bounding box should contain all the TextRun. By the way I have the same behavior with the Quad.
The solution is to use the PDEElementGetBBox but in this case it's too large.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
