Missing font issue

Hi
I am currently still using FWCS3
When opening a document, I got the popup warning that a font wasnt installed on my system etc.
But, the font is on my system, I went into the fonts folder in windows and checked.
How can I get FW to recognise the font?
Cheers
Fiona

I've been having similar issues in CS4 not CS3. When I recently opened the CS3 file in CS4, all the fonts got screwed up. I contacted the developer of FontAgent Pro and they were unable to help. It works in CS3. Aside from the horror I have experienced with type, i run into features that are "only available for the PC" . . . even the export icon which worked in CS3 is grayed out now! I haven't tried it yet, but I hope I can save my file back to CS3. I've used Fireworks almost from the beginning, so I am very disappointed. I can't afford to upgrade yet to CS5, but if it's not any better, why bother.
Egads, I've lost two days just trouble shooting.
If someone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it. I'm on a Mac using OS 10.5.8
I have no problems with Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 [which still is inferior to Freehand]
Adobe's condemnation of Apple for not allowing Flash on the iPhone is unfounded. If Flash is as buggy as Fireworks, no wonder Apple does not want to to have anything to do with Flash. And what's with PCs having more features then the Mac, and Mac sometimes having to wait a year before they get even get the "features".
Oh yes, there is one feature in Fireworks CS4 I like. The "Photoshop Live Effects," but that was once available in the Macromedia version and got dropped when Adobe bought Macromedia.

Iweb missing font issue

When I open iweb I get a pop up window which tells me that there's a missing font CourierNewPSMT
Could someone tell me how to get rid of it, and it only happens in Freestyle template
I couldn't find CourierNewPSMT font anywhere

Hi,
I suddenly started getting messages in iWeb that said the Font "ArialMT" is substituted for the missing font "Arial".. But it was only happening on new pages I had created.. Can't say what had changed much on my system for this to occur.. But had me baffled because FontBook HAD Arial and NO ArialMT..
Anyway to cut a long story short.. I didn't want Arial as the font anyway as we're changing over to Verdana.. It didn't matter if I selected all on the webpage and changed it all to Verdana, i'd still get the error message regarding ArialMT and Arial..
So my fix was to navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
1. Copy the file "Domain" somewhere else as a backup (desktop is good)
2. Right click on the "Domain" file inside ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and Show Package Contents
Now this is where many people say open index.xml.gz and look for the problem fonts.. Well in my experience index.xml doesn't have any code regarding fonts.. SO another folder caught my attention inside "Domain" called "domain-0B29016B-4545-4DC4-9DDB-74AA1E25AJ34.. If you have this folder it will probably have a different string of letters and numbers to mine..
3. Go into your "domain-xxx etc" folder and navigate down to the first compressed xml file you can fint.. I had like 30 because I have almost 30 blog type pages in my site (just the way its designed I guess).. Anyway if you uncompress the .xml.gz file you've found and open that in text edit you'll probably be able to find font information in there.
As I had many to have to find and replace on I found it easier, to select all the .gz files and open them all together which mass uncompressed them in their relative locations.. Then I had to go through and delete the original .gz files otherwise iWeb won't save and publish the code changes you make. In otherwords, you need to have ONLY .xml files left over and iWeb will recompress them when you save in iWeb next.. I also used dreamweaver to mass find and replace the code, but textedit can do it one by one.
Hope this helps anyone having this issue..
I know if I went and made a brand new page in iWeb it will get this font issue again on the new page.. So my next task is to find the original template files and change the font instances in it so new pages don't cause headaches..

Missing Font issue - Delete styles in styles drawer?

Every time I launch Pages (v. 2.0.2) I get a drop down type of message: The Following errors occurred while trying to open this document: Missing Font TimesNewRomanMS.
I don't get it. Times New Roman shows up in the fonts in Pages. It is also in my Font Book. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?
Second: I create a newsletter for our church. I have created a template that works well for the information I need to put in it. Would you recommend deleting some of the items in the styles drawer that I will not use? Just wondering...Thanks in advance....Karen

Karen,
Times New Roman isn't the same as Times New Roman MS. The "MS" stands for Microsoft, and the document you're trying to open may have been created with that version of Times New Roman. The fact that you get that error message probably indicates that the document was created on a computer that had Office installed. You can probably fix this by highlighting all the text with the MS version, then changing it to the Times NR you have on your computer.
No need to delete styles, unless their very presence bugs you. They don't add any extra baggage to the document.

Missing Font issues

I opened a CS2 In Design document from a co-worker on to my computer and the Adobe font called, Palatino, which Ive had installed on my computer for ages would not show up on this document. I removed the suspect font (Palatino Type 1) through the Control Panel, and reinstalled it via Adobe Font Manager 4.1. This did not help. I do not have any other Palatino versoins on my computer.
Even after installing it, the font still shows as missing.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Kathy

You bet. I've checked and double-checked. What is really wierd is that I can open another In Design document that is using the same font, and it is perfectly ok.

Missing font issue - even though the font is installed

Hi,
I have a InDesign document with a EPS link in it. This EPS contains a mathematical equation, which is created with the font called 'System (T1) Medium'. When I open the InDesign document it says that the font is missing (in the 'Find Font' dropdown) and the equation's mathematical symbols are replaced by a different font showing wrong symbols.
The font is installed and the EPS file shows up correctly when viewed in Illustrator.
What can I do from here? I use Windows 8 and InDesign CC.
Thanks!

I managed to convert them all by using an Action in Illustrator.
Is there a way/script to rename all the links in my InDesign document at once, so I don't have to replace them all manually?
Link1.eps would be Link1.ai
Link2.eps would be Link2.ai
...and so on.
Thanks!

Flash Catalyst miss font issue

I use extended font in photoshop. When I imported the .psd file into flash catalyst.
There's a warning that it can't find the font. My font file is in the windows/font folder.
How should I do to solve this issue ?

Hi,
as you I don't even know where to start, as it is (as you
have noticed) quite a complex thing. If you are still interssted in
the subject, drop me a line, and I try to answer some of your

Reg: Missing fonts in InDesign

Hi,
I am finding missing fonts when I publish a PDF document from InDesign CC file.
I tried to install the custom fonts in my system, but the installation is not getting completed.
I am using the fonts like, Akzidenz-Grotesk and Helvetica family fonts.
Please give me a solution to fix the missing font issue.
Thanks,

Do the fonts show as missing in Find Font? How are you making the PDF?

Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
I have a document that previously had no font issues at all. Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed.
I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular. And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files. No Joy.
I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up. Nada.
If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
RP

Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
Never had to do that before.
Would be great to get back to 'normal'. If possible.
Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions. But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
RP
p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around. That didn't work either.

Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

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?

Missing Fonts in Illustrator CS4

I have been having an issue with the "missing font"
My problem is that Illustrator recognizes the fonts sometimes and not other times. I have had no problems for the past week or so and I just restarted my computer and now a number of fonts that worked fine suddenly are replaced with the "missing font" default.
The fonts I'm currently concerned with are all in the default LaTeX family (i.e. cmr10, cmmi10, cmbx10, etc...) I have all of them installed on my computer and they work fine in every other application.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or how I can solve this problem? Why does illustrator "lose" them and how do I get them back? !!
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I'm actually using Windows 7 and in the mean time my illustrator "found" the fonts again (still can't figure out why). I don't know how well the solutions for the Mac OS will work but I'll take a look. If anyone else comes up with an answer I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!

Missing fonts in Windows InDesign CC'14 vs OSX

We are a school with about 500 Windows 7 machines. We also have an iMac suite (about 25 strong). We have a Creative Cloud subscription and have deployed it to all of our computer suites and our iMac suite. CC 2014 versions of the relevant products have all been pushed out, so there should be parity between the two platforms.
Our problem is that our Windows clients are outright missing 90% of the TrueType fonts that are available on the OSX (Mavericks) clients. Most of the Media classes are taken in the iMac suite, and therefore the majority of their content has been created in there, but two or three times per week the classes rotate to a Windows suite. Some students are encountering issues where fonts are missing after opening their INDDs in InDesign for Windows.
I discovered that InDesign for OSX has vastly more fonts than on its Windows counterpart, specifically of the TrueType variety. About 90% of the TrueType fonts on Windows were missing. As far as I could tell, all of the OpenType fonts matched.
Students get the follow dialogue when they launch InDesign with a missing font:
So yeah, that's my issue. I've literally spent all afternoon researching this issue to no avail and am pretty much stumped at this point.
Any help and advice will be more than appreciated!
Thanks for reading.

Early on in the life of Mac OS X (which has been around for over 10 years in multiple versions—we're now at 10.10), Apple advertised how many beautiful fonts were available with Mac OS X. And, it's true, they do install a lot of TrueType fonts.
Microsoft provides much fewer. As far as I can tell, most of them are installed with you install Microsoft Office products.
It's just the way it is.
I guess you could show students a list of the fonts installed with Creative Cloud apps (Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, etc.). You could also teach them about downloading Typeset fonts (although they won't be able to carry those to another location which doesn't have a CC subscription).

Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.
Kind Regards

Missing Fonts in Illustrator CS5

In the font pull down menu I have fonts displayed with "< >" symbols on the sides. I assume this means that illustrator thinks the font is missing or it has replaced the font or both? The font is loaded in Suitcase Fusion 3 (the only font management software on my MAC Pro) and it is activated. So why does these < > symbols still appear? How can I get rid of them? What is the font issue?

unclefester67 wrote:
so the "< >" symbols around the font name is actually just a way of telling that they are "Symbol" fonts. They are in fact not missing or have been replaced?
The bottommost font is not a Symbol font. I think it just indicates that the name of the font is not in that font itself (all other font names are), because the font does not contain Latin characters.
Missing fonts show up in square brackets [Like This] in InDesign, at the very top of the font list, and I think it's the same for Illy.

Font issue in Acrobat 8

We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
Thanks

I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
Thanks

Font issues when importing work docs in Pages/Keynote...

Hi!!!
Just got an iPad and am trying to use it for work. The problem is, almost every time I import/open a document, presentation and in some cases even PDF files I get a message on missing fonts.
This is specially hard on presentations, where the corporate template is almost illegible after Keynote plays "change the font"... Of course, trying to contribute back to a document is almost unthinkable (I have to revert to commenting via email)... And the "sweet spot" I was hoping for, being able to go to meetings without my laptop, to do presentations, is not possible as the corporate presentations are a big mess...
From what I have been able to see, there is no way to add fonts to the iPad currently (other than jailbreak, which I'd like to avoid)...
Are there any plans to allow for some way to solve the issues? How are people coping with this problem?
Thanks
Javier

There is no way for users to add fonts to any iOS device. You need to use the fonts which they have installed or use a laptop or other full computer where you can modify things the way you want.
A list of iOS fonts is at
http://www.michaelcritz.com/2010/04/02/fonts-for-ipad-iphone/
Nobody can tell you what Apple's plans are, but you can tell them what you want here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
The next version of iOS, 5, will be released in the fall, but I don't think it includes any ability for users to add fonts.
Safari does have the capability to display fonts embedded in webpages, but I doubt that will meet you needs.
