Missing fonts in CS4. Works fine in CS3.

Hello,
When I open a file created with Fireworks CS3 that contains a
particular typeface. Fireworks prompts me that the system cannot
find this font. However, the font is active on my system and when
opening the document in CS3 it opens without any errors. If I
choose to update legacy text in CS4 it does not read the typeface
name the same as it did in CS3.

Does the new Fireworks CS4 read fonts differently from CS3?
Such as by family name vs. font name.
When I try to access the particular typeface I'm using. It
does not show the weights that I had been using in CS3.
For instance the typeface I was using was "Vag Rounded".
This typeface shows up as:
18 VAG Rounded Black 09390
18 VAG Rounded Bold 07390
18 VAG Rounded Light02390
18 Vag Rounded Thin 55390
A total of 4 available fonts.
In CS3 this shows up as all 4 potential options.
However, CS4 it only shows up as VAGRounded.
I have posted a screenshot of how the font menu
differentiates between the programs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sarthak,
Unfortunately, that box is empty. I do understand what you
are referring to on a typeface and it's unique weights listed.
However, nothing is in the box.
Thanks.

  • Missing fonts in cs4

    Hello All,
    I have installed CS4 on my XP desktop after uninstalling CS2 completely and I am now having some font missings from the applictation.
    Although the font name like "Arial Black" already exist on the PC but its not finding it. When I open an existing Indesign CS2 file( I am getting an error message saying few fonts are missing and then a find a font box coming up with missing font names marked with yellow !.
    I dont know how to add these fonts back into the CS4.
    Someone advised me to delete all "adobefnt*.LST" files but this did not work either for me.
    Please can you advise how to do this?
    Thanks

    Fonts are never unloaded when installing software. In the case of Arial Black, go to Arial, and see if Black has been added to the Arial family (where you see Bold, Italic, etc.). As well, Adobe software will sometimes sort files differently than other applications, so look carefully though the list to see if the ones you are missing are sorted somewhere else.
    Fonts are often loaded with software, and probably this has happened with CS4 (I am on CS3). You might have gotten new versions of some of your old fonts. This could cause the problems you are seeing in ID. I think you can just tell the files to update to the new versions, if this is the case.

  • Missing fonts - Flash CS4 on Mac

    I am installing a new font on my Mac that I have to use for a project I have to start today.  The font installs OK, it works fine in Fireworks and even Word, but doesn't appear in Flash!
    I have used FontNuke to kill off the existing caches (not necessary for Fireworks, but have usually had success doing this in the past) but still no joy.
    What is going on?  It seems to be a frequent problem discussed all over the web, but I can't find a solution that works for me.
    Things I've tried...
    Convert original .TTF to .OTF
    Install as a Computer font, not just a user font
    Start Flash before any other app
    Start Flash after Fireworks
    I really need this to work, HELP PLEASE!!!

    I'm sharing my solution as well so that it might help others out there who are desperate for a solution to fonts not showing up in Flash CS4 (and other versions) on OSX. I've spent so much time reading various message board posts and blog posts about this topic. There seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation out there. Hopefully this can help someone out.
    In my situation, I had been using FontBook for years to install and "manage" my fonts. This meant that all my installed fonts were stored in User/UserName/Library/Fonts . Like most designers, I was managing thousands of fonts. I noticed that a lot of fonts weren't loading in Flash CS3 and later CS4. My solution at the time was to minimize the amount of fonts that I had active (I tried to keep it around ~500) and then do a Font Nuke and pray that they showed up in Flash. I'm sure if you're reading this thread that you can relate to all of the frustrations of getting something so trivial to work in Flash when it works in all other CS applications. This solution worked sporadically at best. This was beginning to affect my design work, because I knew that if I couldn't get a certain font family to load in Flash (despite endless nuking and font installing/reinstalling), that I should avoid using it in my proposed designs. This is a horrible feeling so I sought out a better way.
    Eventually I made the move to LinoType Font Explorer X (it's free too) to better manage my font library but the problems persisted. From Font Explorer X I could easily clear the System Font cache and the Adobe Caches but fonts didn't always show up as intended. I then noticed that even though I was using Font Explorer X, all my fonts were still residing in User/UserName/Library/Fonts. I decided to move them all out of there and pretty much start from scratch. I moved them all to another folder on my desktop and readded them to the Font Explorer X library and then activated ONLY what I needed. I found that this was the first time that everything worked as I had intended. Even though I had been nuking and using Font Explorer to clear all the caches, the fact that those thousands of fonts were still living in that Library/Fonts folder was messing it all up. Now that folder is empty and things are working properly.
    My advice: Avoid FontBook and use LinoType Font Explorer X to manage all of your fonts. Remove everything from User/UserName/Library/Fonts and place it into another folder. Import everything to the Font Explorer library and activate only what's needed.

  • Missing fonts in CS4 – how to install?

    Hi all,
    Apologies for asking a question that I've seen posted and answered, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler solution than the plug-in suggested.
    I have lost a few of the fonts I regularly use. They appear in Font Book and are enabled, but they are not available in InDesign. The missing fonts are available to me in other programs (e.g Word) so they are definitely on the system.
    I was given advice to check in Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > InDesign > Fonts, but there is no folder called "InDesign" within the Adobe folder of that path, so I don't know if that was good advice.
    Of course (always the way, isn't it?) I've noticed this problem one week out from my deadline to the printer, so would really appreciate resolving it quickly.
    Thank you in advance,
    Andrew

    Well, if your goal is to make the problem go away without
    understanding it, thus reducing the liklihood you'll understand the
    cause and prevent it from recurring in the future...
    "Sometimes they get sleepy" is an attitude that really bothers me at a
    deep level. Programs shouldn't break. And when they do, we should make
    the effort to understand why they do. And report those problems back
    to the manufacturers, who should be given the opportunity to fix
    them. Even if we think they won't.
    Programs break for reasons. Sometimes complicated and tricky
    reasons. Sometimes reasons we can't actually figure out. But sometimes
    reasons that we can. And we need to take the effort to figure out
    why. Or at least try to a reasonable effort.
    It is our moral duty. Otherwise the programmers who author the
    software will have no opportunity to fix the problems, and thousands
    of user across this green earth will be forced to deal with the same
    problems we deal with regularly, for years and years, all because no
    one was willing to take the minimal effort to figure out what was
    broken and why.
    Don't lie down and say "oh, it just broken again, I accept that i have
    to jump through this hoop to fix it periodically." That's just not the
    way it should work, and it doesn't have to be that way.

  • Prints in LR 2.1 all too red, work fine in CS3. Detailled info included

    Hi,
    I bought a new Canon iPF6100 printer and I figured out how to get it working nicely in CS3/PS. I have installed the latest drivers and firmware, and I have put the icc profiles for the paper in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color directory.
    But printing in LR2.1 give me a very red image, a kind of a hue shift and I just cannot figure out how to get it done properly. I have created a PDF document with a preview of the images as well as all the settings I tried. It can be viewed at http://www.dorrmanagement.nl/printen.pdf
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Peter,
    Maybe a few explanations are in order...
    The problem is that for some configurations (HP or Canon or whatever
    printers), disabling the Color Management on the printer driver side
    doesn't work with Lightroom for some unknown reason (although this works
    with any other software including PS). In those cases, the trick is to
    *not* disable Color Management on the printer driver side, but to setup
    the driver in such a way that it makes a "blind" transform (no
    transformation actually takes place as would be the case if disabling
    Color Management on the printer driver side actually worked). That is,
    you tell it that the input ICC profile is the same as the output
    profile.
    So in Lightroom you select the ICC profile that is relevant for the
    printer/paper pair that you are using, and on the printer driver side,
    you specify the very same profile as the input *and* output ICC profile.
    So the input profile is certainly not sRGB but Fuji Semi Gloss IPF6100
    as well.

  • Raid slice missing on mountain lion works fine in snow leopard

    I am running fiber from a adtx raid directly in 2 machines one running snow leopard the other running Mountain lion.
    on the mountain lion machine, when i go to disk utlity i only see one of the raid drives and the other one says missing.  However when i use the snow leopard
    maching i see the raid fine and it works correctly.  We are using the same fiber channel cards and we use sanmp to mount the drives. 

    Your problem is that your old HD is no longer blessed. if you can, connect both drives at  the smae time, then
    First, open the “Startup Disk” preference pane and select “Mac OS X” as the operating system to boot. This will re-bless your Mac OS X volume on the older install.
    No need to delete or zero the drive at all.

  • After Effects CS6 (CC) AVI's will not transmit to LED signs - CS4 worked fine

    I work in After Effects to create animations for LED signage. I previously used AE CS4 and never had a problem transmitting .avi's to the sign. I now use the CC version and my .avi's will no longer transmit to the signs. I'm using the same settings except that I noticed CS4 was using a Cinepak codec which does not exist in CC. Not sure if this is the problem.

    Yes, that was me. I'm still trying to figure it out because I have more customers now who have upgraded to CS6 or CC like I did and can't use it.
    Thanks.

  • AVCHD editing with CS4 works fine for me

    I saw a couple of threads discussing AVCHD with CS4. I was waiting quite a long time for Premiere Pro CS4 - tried some other applications in the meantime with no success - but now I can say it was worth waiting. I have a Quad Core Intel 2,4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, Vista 64, NVIDIA 9600 and editing AVCHD footage (1920x1080 50i, PAL, captured in my Panasonic HDC-HS9 with highest quality level of ~17MBits/s) is really good, although some artifacts (some, not many) are shown in the preview monitor. But editing is really fast, preview-playback within Premiere also. I have to render effects but after rendering, they are also very smooth.
    Exporting to BluRay either with MPEG-2-BluRay or H.264-BluRay in AME/Encore results in great picture quality(!), and I mean great quality. No artifacts at all. Watching the video on a FullHD beamer on a large screen is really a pleasure. It took me (or my PC) 6:30 hours to render a 01:05 hours FullHD AVCHD video to MPEG-2-BluRay (max. quality, ~35 MBits/s), with a lot of effect-filters like cross fades etc.
    Rendering to H.264 is roughly 3-4 times slower than rendering MPEG-2, but I have only done it for a sample video of 1 minute. The resulting Blu-Ray was also perfect from picture quality point of view (no difference to MPEG-2 except the volume size of the resulting file), but my PC needed much more time to render 1 minute video using H.264-BluRay than it needs for a MPEG-2-BluRay export.

    >> Rendering to H.264 is roughly 3-4 times slower than rendering MPEG-2
    ...hmmm... this brings me back to the question I just asked elsewhere, which is: How does one properly export AVCHD to H.264 for Blu-Ray without loss of quality? Being as AVCHD *is* H.264, shouldn't the "transcoding" here basically amount to copying the existing data? I'd expect it to be WAYYYYY faster than exporting to MPEG-2 :-/
    3-4 times slower than MPEG-2 would basically be a non-starter for me; I have a quad-core box with 4Gb RAM, and it took nearly 8 hours to turn 45 minutes of AVCHD (no effects) into DVD MPEG-2. Source and target were both interlaced. Strangely, exporting the interlaced footage as progressive cut the time by more than half :-? I didn't care for the choppiness of the result, however.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

  • The secret to getting your CS4 project back to CS3 - AAF or AE export

    Okay you edited a project in CS4 but it won't render an quicktime right or something else, what do you do?
    The only reason I edit with CS4 is the awesome Media Browser for P2 clips. It does save a bunch of time when working with tapeless media that Bridge can't preview.
    Obviously if you need to export to a .mov especially animation codect CS4 has trouble. Blame it on Apple whatever, it works fine in CS3 right?
    There are two work-arounds. One is open the Premiere project in AE then render. Just like old times you can hint streaming and it exports just like Premiere did in CS3 and the QT files actually work correctly.
    The other workaround is to cut in CS4 then export as an AAF file (you have to have the 4.0.1 update to do this). Project - export as AAF.
    Then you import the AAF file into CS3 and render like you always did.
    I know at first with 4.0.0 it was frustrating being stuck with AME to render but now if you are really having problems with CS4 there is a way to get your cuts back to CS3.
    Maybe this will help you guys out.

    You guys are thanking me like I came up with some revolutionary way to do things. AAF has been around forever. I've been using it for years to get my cut in Sony Vegas so I could do an OMF export that worked in Protools for mastering. AAF has been around for years.
    In fact when I bought CS4 and started a project I kinda freaked out (because there was no AAF export). I felt trapped in a buggy CS4.0.0
    and just wanted to escape. It was like AMISTAD with a white boy yelling "give us free!!". Then the update came and I chilled out.

  • Font face="army" works in my editing program for IE but not firefox

    font face="army" works fine in IE but not firefox when using my website editing program
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == everytime

    If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
    The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
    There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.
