Lost font information!?

I'm a packaging designer and recently have encountered a very problematic glitch.
I have a flat carton layout with an assortment of fonts. I saved the file one day. Several days later, I reopened it and all of those fonts were defaulted to Myriad. Font auto-activation has been a problem in CS6 and CreativeCloud, but that's not the problem. The fonts are active – they even appear properly in another layout using the many of the same text treatments.
And typically when type is defaulting, the character pallette shows you the intended font between < >
Not in this file. Every defaulted bit of text is indicated to be Myriad Pro Regular. No asterisk, No < >, No nothing.
It's as if the font information was lost the last time I saved the file, and the only way to fix it is to manually replace each bit of text with the appropriate font.

Hi Dzinerik,
Are you using Indesign when this issue happens? It was not stated which app that you are using.
If you are using Indesign, then you might check your paragraph styles or missing fonts. If its the paragraph style that you are using, see if you can change the font and update the style.
If its a different app, can you list the details of the version and operating system. Are you using any font management application?
If you find that this resolves your issue or was helpful, could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the post as helpful. Doing so greatly benefits your fellow users
Thanks

Lost fonts and formatting

I created a site with iweb and uploaded it to GoDaddy using their own FTP. Unfortunately, I lost all of the font information (type, size and color). Any suggestions?
I also lost the photos, but I was able to re-load them and now they are working fine. Is it possible to embed the fonts or pull a file over with the upload?

using their own FTP
Doing that most likely resulted in lots of your files not being uploaded. Use a real ftp app instead. Some tips:

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

How can i reload font information while the jvm is running.

l.s.
how can i reload font information while the jvm is running.
I'm having the following problem...
A program is running.
A user installs a new font on the system (Xwindows in this case)
Java doesn't display the font when i ask :
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();Thus i think that java buffers its font information somewhere. Anyone knows how to refresh te buffer?
many thanks

FontBook - where does it store font informations?

As I've posted here before, I've been massively frustrated by Leopard's FontBook over and over again... so much so that this afternoon's longish post was deleted by the modgods here (they say "Your post was removed from Apple Discussions as it contained feedback or feature requests" when they mean "You used foul language to describe Apple products"
Anyway, I've now installed Leopard on an external disk with one, and one purpose only: to get exactly the font files that are part of OS X 10.5.
Having done that, I
- deleted everything in /Library/Fonts
- copied all the original Apple system fonts from the external disk
- changed owner group and access data for each font resource to be exactly like the virgin 10.5
- deleted the FontBook pref file in ~/Library/Preferences
- deleted all ATS cache files
- rebooted
Now when I open FontBook, (of course) it still displays all sorts of fonts from before this open-heart surgery operation.
So my questions are:
- where does FontBook store its font informations?
- how does one clear, delete, wipe out, nuke or kill these informations... whatever is necessary to not have Zombie font descriptions lurking in FontBook?
TIA if anyone has an answer to enlighten this murky swamp!

Maybe this is interesting to someone: after my 6th or so cold reboot this morning, and Spotlight having started its ritualistic "Indexing" my external FW harddrives (for the 6th time in 3 days...), my Console is filled with hundreds of this:
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] 2007.11.23 02:34:35.85
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] A fatal error was detected using fontiD 131127 while processing a message (id: 11) from pid=425.
23.11.07 02:34:35 com.apple.ATSServer[940] Font Info:

23.11.07 02:34:45 com.apple.ATSServer[941] FODBError: FODBRemoveFromAnnex - Got called to remove an annexIndex that does not match what is in the font
23.11.07 02:34:45 com.apple.ATSServer[941] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now ATSserver is throttling and re-spawning, seemingly forever.
Since this OS experience can't possibly get much worse -- I guess even Windows would be better at this point -- I'll go and delete all ATS caches (again) as well as FontBook's cache files, and reboot (again).
Oh joy.

Font information changed, may effect document?

When I used Print Setup to print the Book for my Structured Document, after selecting the "PDF Printer" I get a message saying "The font information for your computer has changed. This change may effect the format and output of your document". How can I consolidate the font information so it doesn't change and I'm using the same font information to design my documents?

FM also uses any available printer fonts, so switching to the AdobePDF gives you a very limited selection. Usually, the issue is with Times vs TimesNewRoman and this is effectiveely transparent.
To ensure that you dont' have this happening, it's best to always have the AdobePDF as the default printer when using FM. The Sundorne SetPrint utility (http://sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm ) does this automatically for you and is highly recommended.

Access font information of subreport objects?

If I want to programmatically access font information of a subreport element in a report, is there any way to do this - either with the RAS or the older CrystalReports.Engine API? Only TextObjects, FieldObjects, and ParagraphElements seem to have a FontColor attribute, but not SubreportObjects.
To be more exact: I'm trying to access the size of the subreport label's font for an on demand subreport.
Any ideas?

i too struck with the same issue.
in case of RAS...
i want to change the color for subreport name which is appeared as hyperlink with no difference in font and color.
but in designer the color of the supreport name font automatically get changed once on-demand option is choosen.
hence i hope there must be a way to get this done.
regards,
Padmanaban V

Hi morton2,
Thank you for using Firefox Sync. Without a recovery key, I am sorry you cannot recover right away. I know at the top of my head that it is possible to move the account to the new Firefox sync. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync How to set up the new sync]
However this is currently not available in version 28, but version 29 (Beta and Aurora) On those versions you can go to about:accounts and select I already have an account. It *as far as I know* does not require a recovery key.
Once you have it set up, make a copy of the profile folder. you can copy it to the new installation of version 28 if that is the version you wish to continue using.
I hope this helps.

I have lost my information for my Pagemaker and need a download to be able to use my Pagemaker files.

I have used Pagemaker for 20 years and upgraded each time. I have had it on my desktop and used it extensively. Three months ago, I had my old computer stolen from my car. I tried to download my disk but the case which had the serial information printed on it is lost. Plus, I have changed jobs twice since I first installed it and my email address is new. What, if anything can I do?

First, this is a user to user forum; no Adobe personnel is asigned to answer questions here and so you cannot expect instant answers. Second, you can try your luck here: Find your serial number quickly. Third, if you happen to be lucky in recovering your serial number, I very much doubt that you can successfully install such an old program under any modern OS (and it is simply impossible to install it under any Mac OS not capable of running in Classic mode).

Downloaded Adobe design suit web premium in 2012 and lost all information on that purchase because Apple wiped my mac clean...What do I do?

So I brought my Mac book pro retina to Apple to fix a glitch. The Technician called me and told me to come back it up before he does anything else. So I go pick it up and bring it home to find out the whole computer had be factory reset. I was pissed cuz why should I have bothered to pick it up if he already wiped the memory he told me to come back up. So i bring it back and complain to them but they obviously can't bring back that information once it's been factory reset. I also can't sue them for their f-up cuz you sign a stupid piece of paper that says if they f-up and lose any memory that its your fault for not backing it up. Anyways this poses a huge problem for me because I have now lost all my Adobe programs. I download the suit online instead of getting a disk because this mac has no cd port and at the time I didn't have an external one. Not sure what email I used to buy the program with either....I also don't think posting this in a forum will help either but adobe only gave me that option as a form of help....it doesn't help if i need to directly talk to someone in their company. I really don't wanna have to buy the program over again cuz who has the money to buy a several hundred dollar program twice? I know I don't.
I'm guessing I have to call their customer service, but does anyone else have any ideas?

if you have access to your serial number, download the installation files and install.
if you registered your software with adobe, or you purchased and downloaded from adobe, check your account for the serial number: https://www.adobe.com/account.html
otherwise, contact adobe support and see if they can help you with your serial number, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Fonts lost -fonts found

After installing Leopard, I have lost a number of fonts, e.g. Univers. I was told, that Leopard would not recognize them because the type of the files is no more compatible with Leopard. This is true for most applications I have, but some of them still find Univers although it cannot be activated, not only one but the whole font suite. And these applications use the font family properly.
Could someone solve the puzzle? It would be great because I need the font desperately.

I was told, that Leopard would not recognize them because the type of the files is no more compatible with Leopard.
OS X can use any Mac font that could be use previously. That includes Type 1 PostScript, legacy Mac TrueType suitcase, .dfont and OpenType.
This is true for most applications I have, but some of them still find Univers although it cannot be activated, not only one but the whole font suite. And these applications use the font family properly.
If this was an install of Leopard over an existing Tiger or Panther OS, it could just be that the font cache files need to be cleared out and rebuilt. Download and run Font Finagler.
Along the same lines, does anyone have a suggestion for retrieving fonts that existed in a previous version of the Mac OS? Specifically, I'm using Chicago and it existed as recently as 10.3, but it's nowhere to be found in 10.5. I still have my 10.3 installer CDs, but browsing the installer packages yields no results.
Chicago is an OS 9 font. If your 10.3 disks are a retail copy, you won't have it. If they are gray disks that came with your Mac, then OS 9 is in one of the installer packages. For my G5, it was in the package marked "Additional Software".

TS4036 How I can obtain my lost icloud information on my ipad2

How can I get my lost contact information back?

I have to get the replaced iPhone due to the problems that I had with the old one. Everything was backup on my PC. Last night, when I was trying to sync it and get the info back, I got my texts and pictures back but all my contact information and apps that I've purchased. and since it was sync I assumed the previous information are lost. I know I have the backup from the day before chaning my iphone saved on my PC but I don't know how to get them back. I have above 300 contact info. Please advise.

If the apps exist in the iTunes library on the computer, connect the new iPhone and tell iTunes what to sync.
If the contacts are synced to a supported application or cloud service, as they are designed to be, then set that up on the device.
If the contacts were simply stored on the device, then they were restored when restoring from backup.
