Mapping Adobe Font lib fonts to Opentype fonts

I have a customer that has been using Font Folio on a MacOS 9. Now they are converting to PC and want to use opentype instead. They have bought the library package for Opentype.
Is there anywhere a listing of mappings of fontnames from the old library into the new font names on the opentype?
Or are all fonts named the same?

All the fonts are named slightly differently, so that the two can co-exist. There is no listing of mappings available yet, but we (well, Nicole and I) have recently compiled one and are preparing to make it available shortly. It just needs some formatting and explanations written up.
If you check back in a couple of weeks, we may have a pointer for you.

New release of the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType

A new release (v1.6.6148) of the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType has just been posted at:
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/otfdk/main.html
This includes some minor changes in the feature file syntax, slightly better documentation for the MakeOTF tool, a complete installation procedure for Mac OSX 10.2.4, addition of the "Unicode and Glyph Names" documentation under the FDK license, and minor bug fixes.
The most important change has to do with the handling of contextual substitution layout rules. MakeOTF now includes an option to create these either correctly, according to the OpenType specification v1.4, or in the older format used by InDesign v2.0 and earlier. This option is now tied to some additional logic, such that if you build a font to be compatible with InDesign v2.0 and earlier, some special text will appear in the name table named-id 5 "Version" . This text will serve as a marker that the font uses the InDesign v2.0 compatible format for these rules, and will consequently work with not only InDesign 2.0 and earlier, but also with any future programs that know to recognize the special text.. The special text was chosen in order to permit all known older OpenType fonts which have contextual substitution layout rules to keep working under future revisions of Adobe programs.
This meant to be only a short-term solution. We do not anticipate that non-Adobe products will necessarily pick up this special case logic, and we do expect to revise the Adobe Type Library OpenType fonts to correct the rule format, once the next version of InDesign has been out for a few months
The special case logic is documented in the FDK Release Notes, under build 5959. The special case is triggered when a font matches the following criteria:
if (the name table name id (1,0,0,5) exists:
if the name ID string matches the regular expression
"OTF[^;]+;PS[^;]+;Core 1\.0\.[23][0-9].*":
the font has In Design 2.0 format
else if the e name ID string matches the regular expression
"Core[^;]*;makeotf\.lib":
the font has In Design 2.0 format
else the font has the correct format.
Example of string 1: "OTF 1.006;PS 1.004;Core 1.0.35"
Example of string 2: "Core 1.0.38;makeotf.lib1.5.4898"
Another example of string 2:"Core;makeotf.lib"
Fonts built with FontLab by default have name id 5 strings in the format of example 1, although it is possible to change the value.

I noticed two minor things with the windows version of MakeOTF.
* If a fatal error occurs when using the GUI mode for compiling, the output zero sized binary otf is locked in the file system until you exit the application. This doesn't happen when using the command line interface since the application process always is terminated after each compilation.
* When using the command line interface, or when executing MakeOTF from a script, the "parsing warnings" argument "+w" seems not to be piped to the compiler library after invoking MakeOTF. The "parsing warnings" argument works fine when calling a fpr project file from a script or when compiling in GUI mode.

Help with adobe fonts-buy, install error message

I would like to purchase a few fonts from adobe. How do I go about doing so and installing them? Would I need to update/upgrade them over the years? Each time I go to the font site and click on a font, I got an error message : 'you may not have everything you need to view certain sections of adobe.com. . . ..it also mentioned my browser may be '......earlier than IE 4 which is not supported.....' I have Win7 64 bit IE 10 so I don't know what's the problem. Any suggestion, anyone?

First of all, you cannot buy Adobe fonts, but rather you license them.
Assuming that you are referring to OpenType fonts, such fonts may be readily installed by either dragging and dropping the .otf font file into the Fonts Control Panel window or by right clicking on the .otf file and selecting the install function.
Although Adobe has done some minor updates to their fonts over the years, there have generally not been any available update or upgrade programs for them. The same is true for other major font vendors.
Windows 7 64-bit in conjunction with Internet Explorer 10 seems to work perfectly fine for me <http://www.adobe.com/type>.
Do you have Adobe Flash installed on your system? I believe that the website works without it, but that may be the problem.

Non-Adobe fonts: compatible?

I have a client who uses an InDesign template for which the font is AkzidenzGroteskBQ-Reg (and variations of the font family). Adobe.com has never heard of it. Obviously my client has made it work with his copy of InDesign (I'm submitting a list of questions about the font to him), but what problems might I have installing it for Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I'd like the font family to be available across CS3 and Windows VISTA for PC.
Sue

Sue,
Akzidenz Grotesk as a font goes back to the turn of the previous century and is a Helvetica forerunner. It is a Berthold foundry font, available for purchase from http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/berthold/akzidenz-grotesk-bq/regular/opentype-ps/329304
Note that your client cannot legally give you a copy of the font for installation on your computers, as it is protected intellectual property, much as InDesign is.
Yes, it is OpenType format, compatible with your Adobe applications on both Macs and Windows machines. Most non-Adobe fonts, as long as they are properly engineered and designed for your computer platform (OpenType fonts are bi-platform), are compatible with your system and the typical applications you use.

Adobe Font Folio 11 compatibility with Windows 7

Hi,
I have Adobe Font Folio 11. Could you please provide me information whether it is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7?

Unnamed,
Font Folio 11 is packed with OpenType fonts, which are standard for a few years now. I have never (OK, not yet) heard of anyone having problems with fonts in Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit). Fonts are not executable binaries like other applications. BTW, you use the same Font Folio for Mac OS or Windows.

Adobe Font Library Question

I work for a large company and we just purchased the entire library of fonts from Adobe. We use both macs and pcs in our office. The fonts that were sent were "Open Type". I have a few questions:
1. We had been using "Type 1". Has "Open Type" replaced all of type 1 fonts?
2. There were several fonts that we used as type 1 that are not showing up in our Adobe Font library of type (Example: Helvetica Narrow). Does Adobe no longer support that font? Are there others available to purchase, or does the Adobe Font Folio CD cover all type that is available?
Thanks,

Great question - I'm trying to get the answer from Adobe right now. I will post back if I get a meaningful reply... from what I can discern not all type 1 fonts have been 1) converted to open type or 2) included in the Font Folio open type version (which is what I presume your company purchased)
PS Just got reply while composing.... try emailing [address deleted by forum staff - see http://www.adobeforums.com/Typography/661 for list] for a list of the typefaces in the FontFolio package (reference doc-> FFOTEFontList.pdf) Seems to me if the font you now use isn't in the package you might be stuck with your old version.
Here's a copy of the msg she forwarded me from her manager (JR) - Good luck!
1) How many fonts WON"T be upgraded (meaning we'll have to keep the Postscript versions)
[JR] Although Type 1 fonts built on multiple master (MM) technology were converted to OpenType, MM's main feature of allowing adjusting height/weight axes is not converted. Instead, customers will have to choose corresponding Opentype fonts that approximate the various weights; a conversion chart of MM-to-OT fonts should be posted at http://studio.adobe.com/type/ at some point soon, but if the customer wants a copy sooner, I have one.
As far as Type 1 fonts the customer *should keep*, pi (symbol) fonts in Type 1 format may need to be retained, as some symbols cannot be accessed by some applications for current OpenType fonts. The customer can read more in the OpenType ReadMe, here: http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/OTReadMe.html#Anchor-Pi
1a) From your msg below: What does this mean? Does this mean we have to keep all our PS fonts? - All converted Type 1 to OpenType fonts*
[JR] Except for the instances mentioned above, customers should not need to retain Type 1 equivalents of OpenType fonts. All base characters accessible in the Type 1 versions should be accessible in OpenType, in all applications. There are some known limitations, however, discusses in the OpenType ReadMe, here, however, that should be noted: http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/OTReadMe.html#Anchor-22064
2) How many fonts are actually NEW? (OPEN TYPE)
[JR] There are 61 new fonts on FFOTE that were not on Font Folio 9.0. These include Brioso Pro, Montara Std, Moonglow Std, Organica Std and Arcana Std Manuscript.
3) Can I get a list that answers the 2 above questions.
[JR] This will be somewhat labor intensive, but I can supply some preliminary information, if you'd like.
4) We also got a bunch of Image Club fonts when we got Font Folio... are those now part of the open type package? We've since lost the disc and are in the process of replacing it but I wonder if it is wasted effort if its - but that's another story
[JR] Although Image Club was at one time an Adobe-held company, it's very difficult to know what fonts they had rights to sell at this point. Adobe may not have retained (and likely did not retain) the rights to every font in the Image Club library, once we divested the company. The best way to know is to compare their Image Club fonts against the complete FFOTE font list, attached.
Hope this helps!
Jud.

Adobe Fonts used in logo design and copyright laws

Hi, if you are using an Adobe design software such as Illustrator, Flash or Fireworks to create a logo or banner for use as print and or web where it includes Adobe font in the logo and the characters create words ie; the trading name of the business do you need to approach Adobe for permission to use the fonts or is it expected considering the software is for graphical creations?

Why are we now saying that Photoshop can be used for logos? And what is wrong with CorelDraw? For someone who does not want to argue, it seems odd that an argument is happening within their own posts. :)
The ideal logo design tool offers versatile vector path editing tools and spot color swatch capability. Logo designers generally use Freehand, Illustrator, or CorelDraw... which all offer these abilities.

Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

Embedding Adobe fonts in a folio: any issues?

Adobe's font licensing terms/faq don't seem to address embedding Adobe fonts in a DPS folio.
I'm assuming that folio-embedding terms will be the same as PDFs -- that is, fonts that are okay for print and preview embedding in a PDF are okay for folios, too.
Is there an official policy for folio embedding? Anyone have this issue come up already?
Thanks!

There's actually two issues here that need attention. If you're just outputting to default DPS folios then the pages become for all intents and purposes images so there's no real font-related issues. The more difficult area is if you're embedding your own html files that use Adobe fonts. I'd imagine things get more coplicated here.
