Missing Font Help... Please!
Hi Guys,
Hoping someone can help me out.
I'm liasing with a designer who has supplied me an indesign file to fix up some copy.
When I open the file I'm told that I'm missing a bunch of fonts. For example:
Frutiger 66 Bold Italic
Now I've installed the missing fonts using .otf files.
So when I go to find font I can only navigate to Frutiger LT Std 66 Bold Italic.
It replaces all the fonts and it looks the same to me??? Are they the sam? I used the exact ones but my version has LT std....
Let's say they are the same, i just have a different version. Now the concern I have is when I give the file back the designer is now going to get the missing fonts message when they first open it up.
Will it just be a case of them doing what I just did, but to their version of the font?
Is there something I could do? Will this work okay?
Apreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks
Adobe still offers the old Type 1 versions of Frutiger at http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=73 and Linotype offers Oepntype, Windows Truetype (which can also be used on OS X) and Windows and Mac Type 1 versions.
You should check withthe agency to find out exactly which version and type they are using, and match the same version if you can (but thay may have a really old release, so it might not be possible, but matching the type of font would probably be a good idea).
But to answer the first part of the question, yes, OpenType is newer technology (though under the hood the fonts are still either T1 or TT outlines, with fonts carying .otf extensions usually being T1) and just fine for print. OpenType fonts have larger glyph sets than the older versions so they often contain special characters, small caps, alternates, etc, that are not contained in the older fonts unless you buy "expert" or other "special" sets which is a nice bonus. Fonts with Pro in the name are more likely to have a lot of extras, though, than those that are called Std.
Personally I no longer buy anything except OpenType fonts when there is a choice.

Exporting as a PDF with missing fonts - help please?
Hi,
I am using Windows In Design CS4 and an agency provided us with a template via Mac OSX.
Some of the fonts they used appear to be missing on Windows (mainly the ITC bookman family), I open the file anyway. When I export it to a PDF the PDF appears for the most part to be the same, despite the missing fonts.
My questions are:
Is the copy now just a closest match chosen by In Design (I think it may be using Bookman Old Style? If not, what is stopping me using font inserted by an external agency?
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the ITC bookman family?
I appreciate your help; I’m a beginner who has to teach himself!!
NeilBookman Oldstyle should be a very close match (if that is, indeed, what's getting substituted). I wouldn't bother buying ITC Bookman, unless you have to roundtrip your files with the agency. Substituting fonts and checking line endings would get old fast.
So you can be sure of what's getting substituted, go to Type > Find Font, find all usages of ITC Bookman and replace them with Bookman Oldstyle. It seems like you have a PDF from the agency, so you can compare a few substitutions and see if anything changed. You should expect line endings in running copy (long paragraphs) to change slightly.
If you really feel the need to buy ITC Bookman, I would just buy it from ITC (http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts/detail.aspx?PID=201890). Their price is not going to be much different than anyone else's. Check with the agency to make sure they have Type 1 ITC Bookman, not Opentype ITC Bookman, and then buy the same format they have. It's even possible they have a Truetype version. You would want to match it exactly, so you would have to buy the same font that they have, but in PC format instead of Mac format.

I dont know how this happened, but recently i have not been able to work on iWeb for a period of time (less than a couple of minutes) without it closing automatically. It gives me an error message saying 'iWeb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin.'
I tried staring my macbook pro in safe mode and opening iWeb and it said it was missing 2 fonts - ArialMT and Arial - BoldMT. I have had a look in Font Book and these two fonts are not there. Is there somewhere i can download these fonts so i can add to font book. I have read that an option is to copy these fonts from another Mac however i do not have access to one.
Thanks in advanceThe older version of iWeb (3.0.1) had a problem with "iWeb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin" and there are a couple of fixes for this.
Having said that, if you have the latest version of OS X 10.6.5 and iWeb V 3.0.2 these should not apply.
Try quitting iWeb, deleting the .plist - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist - rebooting your Mac and running Disk Utility to repair permissions. -
Music in my Ipod but playlists missing. Help please?
When my ipod is connected to Itunes under the "on this Ipod" menu it shows all my music.. However when i look for my playlists on the left side, the playlists do not appear. It's as though they've been deleted.All i see is the "recently added" folder. How does it go from being fine to all of a sudden no longer being able to edit my playlists that i've had for so long. When I go into the "On this Ipod" menu, i cannot edit anything.. I'm frustrated and really don't think i'd have to restore my ipod unneccesarily.........I keep getting emails from you telling me to hit SHift and S etc that does not bring back my playlists..Help! thank you! (i've attached some pics to better show you my dilemma)
Picture 1 shows the "On this ipod" menu Picture 2 shows my music all there Picture 3 shows my playlists
Picture 4 shows my so-called playlists after i hit the DONE button and the "on this ipod" menu disappears..You have now started four discussions on this subject, two of which have been responded to.
In both responses, by different people, you were advised to turn on the sidebar in your iTunes Library. If that doesnot help you, please consider rresponding to one of the responses you have had. That way, you can enagage in discussion (converstaion) which might then give you the answer that you are looking for.
But constantly starting new discussisons isn't going to get you very far.
By the way, an easy (and perhaps easier) way to manage your Playlists is to manage them in iTunes, but without the iPod connected. Then, once you have finished modifying your iTunes Library (for now), connect the iPod and allow a Sync to put the modified Playlists onto your iPod. -
Life type won't let me use two system fonts help please.
i want to use the fonts Bradley hand ITC TT and BlairMdlTC TT in LIVETYPE, but it will not recognize them. They are listed in the Media Browser's family of fonts but under description there is nothing. FCP5, PhotoshopCS and DVDSP4 all see them in my system library and are able to use them within their programs, however, LiveType AND Motion for that matter, both see them in the libray, but they choose NOT to let me use them.
hummmmm?
can anyone please?
thanks,

Missing module help, Please :)
Hope someone here can help. I have an old Blackberry, 8800 with OS 4.2.1.72 It's still a great phone and I don't want to replace it, (it's unlocked) and I currently use T-Mobile for my provider, but after downloading an App I'd like to use (MerchantSwipe) I get the message:
Error starting MerchantSwipe Blackberry: Module 'net_rim_xml_org' not found.
The only option is to click the OK button, which brings me back to the desktop.
This Merchant Swipe App is suppose to be compatible with all Blackberry's, including my old 8800, IF you have version 4.2 or above.... I do, but it's still not working. I've deleted App and Re-installed, but I get the same Error Message. Any solution?
Any help would be appreciated. I have not been able to use this App, or find the 'net_rim_xml_org' file on Blackberry's site (if it can even be downloaded?) anywhere either.
Thanks in advance to anyone responding.

HELP PLEASE!! Hard drive upgrade problem
Hi everyone. I under the direction of others bought an 60GB Powerbook Hard Drive 5400RPM HItachi upgrade from powerbookmedic.com. I bought my powerbook in early 2001 and when I took it apart and proceeded to load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex cable on the hard drive. Now am I am I missing something here or am I just a moron? I am really frustrated because the model I bought says that it fits with all Powerbook Titanium models. What am I missing? Help please!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Denny.
...and when I took it apart and proceeded to
load in the new hard drive I noticed that the new one
did not have connector pins to hook up to the flex
cable on the hard drive.
So you removed the old drive, you detached the short flex cable from it, and now you find nothing on the new drive to connect the cable to? Am I understanding correctly?
If so, is it possible that the connector on the new drive is covered with some sort of temporary shield to protect it during packing, shipping and handling? If it is, the shield should come off if you pull it in the same direction you pulled the flex cable to detach it from your old drive.
I'm tempted to say you are surely missing something. For Hitachi to have shipped a drive that has no cable connector seems about as likely as for Toyota to have shipped a car with no tires installed, but I suppose anything is (barely) possible. -
After a recent archive and reinstall, I opened iWeb and received the message, "The following errors occurred while trying to open this document." Apparently, I am missing the following fonts:
CourierNewPSMT
Handwriting-Dakota
AcademyEngravedLetPlain
Palatino-Italic
I have searched the iWeb forum and from my understanding, I could delete the ats cache. However, do I delete the entire folder? Including the system folder within the com.apple.ats folder?
I have searched for the missing fonts in both the system/library/fonts folder and user/library/fonts folder, but could not find these missing fonts.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue, or, possibly, email me these missing fonts?
Thank you so much.
Macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)jrfs:
Those fonts should be on the system install disk that came with your computer. Download and run Pacifist to locate the font installation package on the system install disk and extract and run the font install package.

Indesign missing fonts, please help!
Hi!
i
I just switched from windows 8 to a mac mini. I had indesign CC trial on the PC and now that I switched to a mac fonts are missing n my document. Both versions of indesign were up to date. How do I get my fonts back please help. The font I really need is called "Onyx"
I dont know why the fonts were working on the PC using the same indesign trial but on the Mac i download the indesign trial the font is missing. Please help!!!!!!On behalf of Adobe ...
Onyx is not a font provided by Adobe with InDesign or any of the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud offerings. It is installed on your Windows system when you install Microsoft Office.
Likewise, if you have licensed and Installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, Onyx is installed on your system.
If you have not licensed and installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, you can license the font at http://www.fonts.com/family/248141/onyx.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -
Disappointed with IOS7, i had organized my music library as per the Genre and now im unable to hear all the songs of the same genre like in the earlier versions. The options of "all albums" and "all songs" are missing in this version of IOS. Help Please..
It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place. -
I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJlol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,

I recently imported pictures from my camera to iphoto. I also synced my ipad. In less than 24 hours my photos are now missing from iphoto even after trying to sync my ipad again. These pictures are from a very special occasion and I did not even get time to edit. Someone help please
-Background-
My issue, which I resolved and may help you was the following:
I have an IPAD 3. I took over 5 GB of pictures on a third party camera. The car was full so I imported those pictures to my IPAD 3 and deleted them from the SD card. While on IOS 5.x, the photos on the IPAD were there under last imported.
Over the last few days, I upgraded to IOS 6. No issues.
Then, my family wanted to see the pictures from the trip. I went to the IPAD and could not find the photos. It listed 40 photos only. The last imported was there, but listed as empty. When I went into the settings>usage, it listed 5GB + of photos in the photos area. I was confused. I plugged my IPAD into ITUNES, first thinking I would get a backup asap (icloud was full after importing the photos). Then I though I would downgrade to IOS 5.
Also, itunes listed that I had 40 photos only, but 5GB of OTHER data. I was convinced the data was not lost. When I tried to browse the IPAD 3 using windows browser, the photos where NOT in the DCIM folder, so I was not able to simply "FIND" the photos and copy them to my PC.
-SOLUTION-
I downloaded third party software onto my PC called "http://www.i-funbox.com/" I fun box. I had no idea if this would work, but other forums with other issues called out similar products for iphone issues.
When I installed the program, which was free, and so far free of malware, I started to explore my IPAD file system.I found my photos, under IPAD>RAW file system>DCIM>100IMPRT.
-ROOT CAUSE-
I suspect when I upgraded to IOS 6, apple fails to register the IMPORT folder of photos as such, photos. So the file system in IOS looses sight of what is inside the last imported folder. Essentially removing them from applications such as "Photos". Why windows does not seem them, is beyond me. But the program I found did see them in raw format, and I was able to COPY them to my PC. Then I deleted them from the IPAD, because I had no other way of managing this folder in IPAD, and it was using a lot of space. -

hi, i play on yahoo games and i down low and update today to my mac air and now i can not play in yahoo games, it say there are some missing plug-in. please help. thanks
Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Thanks,
Matt M.
