Missing font for Desktop 6 in XP ?

I installed the same download of 600_b047_multilanguage.exe on two separate xp machines selecting US English in both cases. One one machine the desktop software looks fine, but on my laptop the fonts are all just boxes. Any ideas ? Do I need to have a special font loaded ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey I just ran into this issue...
Any font guru's know where this might be occurring?
I had a display problem and some how when I got the display working again, the same problem exhibited itself, but only for DM... none of the other software has an issue?
I hesitate to reinstall DM because it's been so stable - I know one of the later versions would not work on my XPP machine and gave up worring about it last year.
I'm fairly sure I'm running DM 6.x
Maybe it's a Registry issue.
We're all out here together...

Missing Font for templates

Yesterday I tried to use some templates that I've used numerous times before, without a problem, and now Pages is telling me that fonts are missing, and that I need to reinstall them in order to use the templates. It's basically telling me this for every template. Can anyone help me out? Is this a bug? How do I locate these missing fonts, and how do I install them again? Thanks!

I would say that it happens so often to people that it is a bug that Apple does not handle the case better. However, I never had the problem myself, and there often seem to be some sort of logical explanation. I copy some links to earlier discussions on the topic and some comments, which apparently were helpful - at least when they were in context.

"Here's what worked for me. I went to /Library/Fonts/ and saw one of the "missing" fonts, HelveticaNeue.dfont . I moved this file from the Fonts folder to my Desktop, and then I put it back in the Fonts folder."
"Maybe you've just disabled the fonts that Pages requests."

Bug in Mail's handling of missing font for creating a "Note"

I try to keep my font library trimmed down to a minimum, since i don't use many fonts, and don't like to see cluttered font menus.
However I apparently disabled one too many fonts, and now Mail refuses to create "notes". When I go to create a new note, nothing happens at all... no error message, nothing (and this strikes me as a problem with Mail. I didn't go in and make any deep system level modifications, i simply used the Fontbook app that is available to all users, and switched off a few fonts, and now Mail is malfunctioning. It should at least give me a warning message).
My system console reports as follows:
11/12/07 8:37:11 AM Mail[152] * Assertion failure in +[NoteView updateFontAndRule:], /SourceCache/Mail/Mail-912.1/MessageViewer.subproj/NoteView.m:149
11/12/07 8:37:11 AM Mail[152] * WebKit discarded an uncaught exception in the webView:didFinishLoadForFrame: delegate: <NSInternalInconsistencyException> font-family cannot be nil
So,
1. Does anybody know which fonts Mail needs for Notes?
2. Is there a way I can/should report this bug to Apple?

If you create a metadatatype with a single metdata block, and you reference that in your vm/cm cell attribute using a *one* based index, Excel seems to see the link and it honors it when saving the spreadsheet.
So, I ended up with something like:
<c ... cm="1"/> (I'm dealing with cell metadata, but the concept is equivalente to value metadata)
<metadataTypes count="1">
 <metadataType name="MyMetaType" .../>
</metadataTypes>
<futureMetadata count="1" name="MyMetaType">
 <bk>
 <extLst><ext
uri="http://example" xmlns:x="http://example"><x:val>87</x:val></ext></extLst>
 </bk>
</futureMetadata>
<cellMetadata count="1">
 <bk><rc
t="1" v="0"/></bk> 
</cellMetadata>
Hope this helps.

Missing font for terminal

I am setting up 42 new education emacs. Was doing some font clearing and apparently I did some thing that will not allow the terminal to work. I would think that the terminal font would be part of
system>library>fonts
which I did not touch. Apparently not because now all I get is a tine box with terminal that I cannot stretch
What did I do?
Thanks in advance.

Does the issue repeat in a new user ?
If not then try pulling ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist to the desktop, log out/in of the original user and see what happens.

CS5.1 Missing fonts - converted to outline

Hello, I have PC with Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 installed.
Problem:
I had to open eps file, where is font Obelix Far East, which I don't have and needs to be replaced to Myriard.
When I open this eps, all Obelix's words are automaticaly converted to outlines.
original:
CS5.5 - immedatelly after opening:
Is any way to prevent convert words? I can see it first time, because before CS5.5 I used only CS4 and there was no problem with this. I simply replaced missing font for the known one and that's it...
Thank you very much for any idea.
Regards...Ilja

like maybe I hit some odd key command that made it all go away but I've been unable to get anywhere.
Yes that is the case, you accidentally must have hit the cmd + T key and now you have set Bridge to show only thumbnails.
Under the menu view you will see a checkmark in front of the option: "show thumbnail only" . Click on it again to deselect or hit again cmd + T (on a Mac) and you get back to the normal situation

CS4 - Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in?

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I am having difficulty with the missing fonts loader plug-in.
Q: Can some please give me a detailed (step-by-step) instructions for installing this plug in for CS4?
Q: What is this Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package required for CS 4?
I need some assistance, please.
Thank you very much for any help!

I meant to add this as well.
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS4
The plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS4 is available on the Proxima Software Web site. This plug-in can automatically
activate missing fonts in Adobe InDesign documents.
Missing Fonts Loader Plug In
Product Adobe InDesign CS4 version 6.0
Description Automatic Activation of Missing Fonts
Operating System Microsoft Windows
Requirements Your missing fonts must be located in FontExpert
Groups (visible in the Groups view).
FontExpert 2009 version 10.0.
The plug-in may also work with FontExpert of earlier
versions 9 and 8, but FontExpert 2009 version 10.0 is
recommended.
File Name MissingFontsLoader.pln
How to Install the Plug-in
NOTE
The plug-in for InDesign CS4 requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
(available on the Proxima Software Web site, http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm ).
Copy the MissingFontsLoader.pln file to the Adobe InDesign plug-ins folder:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Plug-Ins\MissingFontsLoader\MissingFontsLoader.pln
and RESTART Adobe InDesign.
(Where "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\" is the folder where Adobe InDesign is installed.)
Using the Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in
This plug-in has an activation option: automatic (recommended) or manual.
Automatic Activation
The Missing Fonts Loader Plug-in loads missing fonts automatically when you open an Adobe InDesign document.
The plug-in searches for fonts in font groups defined in FontExpert. If a missing font is not found in the FontExpert
Groups view, it will not be activated, and the font will be marked by InDesign as a missing font (for the current
document).
3
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
In the picture below, the Missing Fonts Loader window shows an empty list of missing fonts for the current
document, because all fonts were activated automatically:
4
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
When InDesign opens the document, it may still mark fonts as missing, even though they were actually activated
by the plug-in during the opening of the document. In this case, you may be required to reopen document to let
InDesign know that all missing fonts are now activated.
The font information xml file helps solve this problem. It is recommended to select the Use font information xml
files option. Every time you save the .indd document, the Missing Fonts Loader plug-in will create a small xml file.
This xml file will include the list of fonts used in the corresponding .indd document. When this xml file is present,
the plugin can activate fonts just before the InDesign actually opens the document and searches it for missing
fonts. (You will find the xml file near the Adobe InDesign .indd document on your computer.)
Manual Activation
When the Activate Missing Fonts Automatically checkbox is cleared, the plug-in
does not activate missing fonts when you open the document. You can open the plug-in
window and activate fonts manually.
The Missing Fonts Loader window shows the list of missing fonts in current document:
5
Missing Fonts Loader Plug-In for Adobe InDesign CS4
Click the Activate All button to activate missing fonts.
Important Note
Unfortunately, when missing fonts are activated manually, you are usually required to close the InDesign
document and open it again to let the document "know" that new fonts became available. This is the
disadvantage of manual activation.

Missing Fonts Error

A lot of people post questions or frustrations about missing font errors in FrameMaker. FrameMaker reports missing fonts because it can be a big expensive deal if you miss the mistake when going to press.

Fixing the Missing Fonts Error This information is courtesy of Tim Murray. Check out his site: <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com</a> and the Frame-specific help at <a target="wander" href="http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help">http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/help</a>. The Problem <ul><li>You open a Frame file and the console reports that a font was not found, so another was substituted.</li> <li>You cannot generate a book because Frame tell you it can't properly open all the files.</li></ul> Load the font This is the obvious fix. "Don't care" solution In this solution, you are positive you never used the font, but even if you did, the substitution FrameMaker provides would be okay anyway. <ol><li>Close the file.</li> <li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference.</li> <li>Open the file (you will get the error again) and save. </li> <li>The next time you open the file, the message will be gone.</li></ol> "Programmed" solution Here you want to substitute the missing font for one that is different than the choice FrameMaker provides. <ol><li>Turn off the "Remember Missing Font Names" preference</li> <li>Exit FrameMaker.</li> <li>In a text editor (notepad.exe), open the maker.ini file.</li> <li>Edit the ini line "DefaultFamily=". In most cases it is Times New Roman, Times, Tms Rmn. Insert the font of choice at the front. For example:</li> DefaultFamily=NewCenturySchlbk, Times, Times New Roman, Tms Rmn You don't have to have anything after the first item, but it doesn't hurt. <li>Remove the changed font from your system either by turning it off in ATM or removing it from your Fonts folder.</li> <li>Add the new font. </li> <li>Open the FrameMaker file. FrameMaker's console should report that your original font is missing and the new font was substituted.</li> <li>Save the file. The change is done.</li></ol> When Font Errors Interfere with Books and Updates You may be in a situation where you need to do an update, but in order to do so you would have to override the fonts . . . but you would rather not, because doing so would mess up the design. The solution is to open the file or files that are missing the fonts; if the affected files are open during the generate, you won't get the "cannot open file" error message. If you need to open all the files of a book, you do NOT have to run down the book list and open each one separately. Instead, you can simply Shift+click or Ctrl+click the files you want (and a Ctrl+A, in Windows, selects the whole list). In FM6 and earlier, press Enter. In FM7, right-click > Open. Each file will open (but, of course, you may have to acknowledge missing font messages). Also, you can open all files in the book at once this way: <ol><li>Make the book file active in FrameMaker--so it is in the foreground.</li> <li>Shift+click the File menu selection, in the menu bar.</li> <li>Shift+clicking File gives you book-level options in the File menu, including "Open All Files in Book."</li></ol> Thanks again to Tim for the information used here.

Good free fonts for DTP

Hi,
I'm searching for some good and free fonts for Desktop Publishing purposes.
I would like to find an appealing serif font and some fonts I could use for headlines (sans serif).
Any player in this field could give me some tips (not only font names, also where to search first)? Most free font databases are full of comic etc. fonts.
Thanks in advantage,
Ford Prefect

Hi,
you're right, they are really good fonts. But there are only few free ones, and I don't have money to buy from the others.
I would like to find some little bit more non-standard, exquisite, yet serious fonts..
Any other ideas?

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

Is there a way to automate missing fonts in thousands of small pdf's for print

Greetings,
We are receiving thousands of small PDF's from several differnet locations with missing fonts. The controller on the printer is having to perform
font substitution on each page. This causes the printer to cycle and not run at rated speed.
I am wondering is there a way to have these files insert all the missing fonts before they reah the controller on the printer?
Thank you so much.
HDRDR

There are tools out in the market which should be able to embed and fix missing fonts. You might look at something like PitStop server.
If no commercial product is out there, you might talk to the developers of such tools for a customization.
Hope this can help.

Why can't I replace missing fonts with my desktop fonts?

I just updated to CC 2014 which implemented the new Typekit features. Now "Find Font" is "Resolve missing fonts..." which only allows missing fonts to be replaced with Typekit fonts or other fonts already found in the document.
Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous? I have a document with the 'Avenir Next Pro' font missing, but have no way to change all instances to the "Avenir Next" font that I have installed on my computer.
The only thing that seems to work, is to select each instance of the missing font and then change the font in the character menu. Or to change one text layer and then use "Resolve missing fonts..." to select the font that has now become an option that
it exists in the document. Both processes work, but they're heavy handed and leave a lot of room for human error. Plus they're frickin' annoying!
What gives, Adobe?
- a confused and grumpy, lazy designer.

No you're not the only one who finds this ridiculous. Font replacement in other Adobe apps works absolutely fine, so why is the Photoshop team intent on making this into a difficult useless feature?

Can I use Type -- 'convert to outline' in Illustrator on Typekit fonts I've 'designated for desktop use'? I've not been able to as of yet.

I'm trying to print vinyl letters for a gallery I'm a member of and love the Cronos Pro regular font. i've designated this for desktop use and created 24 name files at 200pt. The person working with the vinyl asked if I could 'convert to outline' possibly to make the font a bit larger, I don't really know. When I tried to do this, I found that choice grayed out on the type menu. I am wondering if this means the Typekit fonts 'designated for desktop use' simply do not have the permission to be 'converted to outline'.

Cutting always requires proper paths/ outlines. This has nothing to do with the font or large format printing per se. Beyond that there should be no limitation in using fonts - as long as you can mangle them in AI, it means that somewhere those outlines exist internal to the program so the type can actually be rendered. Whatever prevents this may more likely be inherent in how you treat your text. you would have to provide more specific info on that. Either way, ask in the AI forum for more detailed answers.

How to apply a new font for missing glyphs in another font?

The situation:
For an article, I want to use Font1, but some of the glyphs are missing in it, and are highlighted with pink boxes. Font2 have much more glyphs than Font1. I can apply Font2 manually for each of the missing glyphs, but it is tedious.
Question:
Is there a way for InDesign to do such substitution automatically? I.e., apply a default font, which can be specified by user, for all the missing glyphs.
If not, how to search/find those missing glyphs with GREP or script? Since InDesign can identify the missing glyphs and marked them with pink boxes, it seems easily (not to identify the unicode ranges which seems not very easy) to find them using GREP, but I failed to find it.
Any one know how to do this? Thanks.

No. Alas, I might add. There is some sort of auto-catch, specific for Symbol symbols, but no-one knows how it works and you cannot manipulate it yourself.
If not, how to search/find those missing glyphs with GREP or script?
Not specifically, i.e., you cannot search for "any missing glyph". Add a GREP style which changes just the font (make sure it doesn't set the font style as well, or else your Bolds or Italics might disappear). Create a new Preflight profile that checks just for missing glyphs, so you won't miss any.
None of this can be automated though.
.. it seems easily (not to identify the unicode ranges which seems not very easy) to find them using GREP, but I failed to find it.
InDesign's GREP flavor doesn't allow named Unicode blocks (http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html), but I have successfully used character ranges to automatically set the font for Chinese, for example.
