Let me choose which font(s) to substitute when opening an Adobe Illustrator (CS5) file
Hello!
I have an illustrator Windows file, created by someone else, and one font is missing.
When I open the file, Illustrator says a font is missing and it will substitute the missing font.
How can I tell Illustrator to use a specific font instead of Illustrator automatically making that decision for me?
Thanks!
Rowby
Rowby,
I am afraid it is impossible.
You will need to see which font it is substituted by, and then you may change it with Type>Find Font.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?
Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Hello,
There are an option that let us on choosing an browser in that will be open the Adobe Account from app-desktop Creative Cloud in the windows operating system?
...in the case this option not exist...
Please add an option (maybe in next update schedule) that will let us to choose a different browser not the default.
Adobe Cloud ,Behance also Prosite are very weak implemented on the Internet Explorer.
All the best,
CristianHi Jeff,
Thank you for the attention given! I know this ... CCloud,Behance,Prosite go very well with Chrome;Firefox browsers(I use also on this browsers).
In case that will set Chrome or Firefox as the default browser I'll lose modern (metro) Internet Explorer... I don't want to loose this browser because is using on different stuff...a taste option.
I try question more like an suggestion to Adobe (maybe a future thinking option) but my English writes are weak ..
All the beast,

Working on a MAC with a Kobo. ADE won't let me read DRM books - 4.0 crashes when opening library books (EVERY. SINGLE. TIME) so I installed 3.0 and now I get an "activation error". I have it authorized to my ID....WHERE IS THE STAFF TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? I have wasted hours on this and I'm getting really annoyed.
Thank you! This worked. But now I copied my files back, which was successful. But the last file did´t work. I even loaded this file from the bookstore. When I try to load this file, ADE crashes and gives me the following report:

Missing Fonts in Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 Agenda Bold and Agenda Black
Hi,
We are using Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 to re-create Points of Sales (PoS) that our 3rd party company sends us. But when we open the PoS from the 3rd Party we get a message saying we are missing 2 fonts. The names of these are Agenda Bold and Agenda Black. Are these Fonts from a newer version of Illustrator or are we able to purchase/download these?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,These are not standard system or Adobe fonts. You will have to buy them from whatever type foundry that produces them.

Netscape use to let me choose and create new profiles. after clicking on the icon for netscape i was prompted for which user profile i wanted. can i do this with firefox? also, each user profile was linked with its respective email account. can i do this through firefox as well? I need help. i have tried setting up firefox before and since i couldn't accomplish this i had given up but netscape is so old and most sites cause it to crash, i need a solution. i have 2 main profiles and 2 different email addresses. any advice or help, even not firefox related would be great
Firefox doesn't have the same type of interface for the Profile Manager that Netscape did. You might want to look at SeaMonkey ''(which uses the same Mozilla Gecko code as Firefox has)''.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Fonts not found
We are changing our user from a Mac to a Windows (7) based computer and we are running in to issues with files that she created on the Mac version of Adobe Illustrator. She used some fonts (AGaramond-BoldItalic for example) and it works great on the Mac. I copied all the font files to the windows computer and made sure they work (opened Illustrator and created a document with the fonts).
The issue now is that when we open the old documents from the Mac on the Windows computer it gives an error "Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted."
I am not sure how to tell the file that the fonts Are there because when it opens all the fonts are to a default Arial.
So far I have tried:
Removing all Adobefnt*.lst files
Resetting adobe settings by holding ctrl+alt+shift and opening the program
Testing the file on a brand new user account
uninstall and reinstall the program
None of these have worked.There are more cache files than the adobefnt files. See here for more detailed instructions on cleaning your font caches. That said, it sounds likely that the issue is that your fonts are mac only, as Larry said above. You should be able to use Type -> Find Font... to replace them with whatever version you have on the PC but watch for formatting/flow changes. Also, my condolences to your designer. ;-)

Illustrator CS5 for Mac. OS Yosemite 10.10.1 Font Drop Down show only font type icon unless I drag my cursor over an icon to reveal the font name and style. Fonts works great in InDesign and Photoshop.
j,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

Individual fonts not recognized properly when opening a MAC FLA file on PC
I'm getting a missing font warning when opening an FLA file
even though I have all the necessary fonts. The problem is that
while I have MyriadPro-Bold, MyriadPro-BoldIt, MyriadPro-Semibold
on my machine, they only show up in Flash as the Typeface names of
Myriad Pro (first two), and Myriad Pro Light (last one).
I don't want to have to go through an entire file and apply
bold and italics to anywhere they exist, so I'm hoping there is a
way to map these properly. Adobe Type Manager shows all these fonts
properly when I open it, so I don't understand why Adobe's version
of Flash can only see the font family and not the individual fonts.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same problem and can
help me figure this out.I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly! -
Fonts are substituted when viewing uploaded InDesign/Illustrator documents
In my test InDesign page in the Cloud, the document fonts (Futura, Zapfino Extra) are replaced by Myriad when the page is displayed. Needless to say this negates the value of having it in the cloud in the first place: I can't share with clients or collaborators for comments and feedback, since they won't see the actual layout. I could put a PDF in the cloud, but I could more quickly, and just as easily send them a PDF via Dropbox or email.
The same problem exists with live text in an Illustrator document.
Any word on when this will be fixed/upgraded?Thanks, David. I had a feeling that was the problem so I wanted to check. It's a pity, because it vitiates the feature a great deal. I don't recall the same problem with CS Review, but then I also didn't use it much as I had little application for it at the time. Illustrator has its embedded PDF that could be used for a web preview, but perhaps if an INDD is saved with the maximum size preview that could also be a solution. At least 1024x1024 would be a comfortable size for viewing.
I've not tested a PSD with live text, but I assume the embedded comp would be what's displayed, so that should not be an issue.
[By the way, someone should have a strong word with the marketing folks. This limitation is not hinted at anywhere in the CC promo. Quite the reverse, in fact. Like the unexpected requirement to purchase tablet apps, which the promo says are "included", marketing missteps like this can backfire badly, as anyone familiar with the field will tell you. I've already seen negative reactions in various forums to what is perceived as (and is, in fact, even if unintentional) false advertising. Just because it seems like a minor detail doesn't mean it won't upset customers who feel they've been misled.] -
I have no Scroll bar in the font menu in adobe illustrator CS5.1
Is there any way to make this scroll bar appear? I can't each time try font by font to find the suitable one.
Marilynn,
Hopefully, you will not have to go far down this general list.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Find Font dialog box appears when opening files
This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.
Mac OS 10.5.5
CS3 Illustrator 13.0.2
Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7
ThanksI realise this is an old thread but recently experienced this problem and found a solution that worked for me.
MacBook Pro
OS X 10.8.2
Illustrator CS6
FYI, my case is slightly different from the OP's: Illustrator was exhibiting this behaviour with only one of my files so I guessed that the problem might be with that specific file. The Find Font dialog box would appear every time the file was opened, even though it showed that all the necessary fonts were present. I didn't have admin rights for that machine and couldn't delete any preference files. So, I tried creating a new .ai file, copying everything over and saving it with a new name. No more dialog box after that.
Hope this helps. -

Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
Hi All
Please let me know Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
Also is there need of defining each columns before hand in target datastore. Cant ODI take it from the oracle table itself ?Addy,
A CKM is a Check KM which is used to validate data and log errors. It is not going to assist you in data movement. You will need an LKM SQL to File append as answered in another thread.
Assuming that you have a one to one mapping, to make things simpler you can duplicate the Oracle based model and create a file based model. This will take all the column definitions from the Oracle based model.
Alternatively, you can also use an ODI tool odiSQLUnload to dump the data to a file
