Missing fonts OTF cs4 mac/win .eps

.eps created with Windows CS4 on windows OTF
-On OSX 10.5 CS4 .eps says Fonts are missing (Happens whether or not Font Reserve is active or not active)
-On OSX 10.4 CS4 .eps opens fine without any fonts in fonts folders (and NO Font Reserve running)
Things I tried:
Fontbook not using fonts in question or conflicting as far as I can see.
Cleaned all Fonts on system using Finagler
.eps not corrupt
What could cause this to happen?

Permissions problem on one ofte systems.
try repairing the permissions or perhaps an update for the software.
Font cache difficulty.

  • 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

    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
    S

    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 InDesign 5.5 WIN

    InDesign 5.5 WIN create problems with the fonts when I open a file from version 5.0. The font-installation in the windows font-folder is ok. The fonts are there, but InDesign doesn´t find it. Funny: When I create a new file, I can fix the "missing" font. It works well. Where is the problem?

  • 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.

  • Missing fonts Photoshop CS3 in Win 7

    Photoshop worked fine in XP Pro SP 3. I reformatted the HD and installed Win 7. I installed some postscript fonts and they don't show up in Photoshop but show up fine in Framemaker and MS Office products. Any suggestions.

    Deleting the font cache files did not help, nor did copy the postscript files to Adobe's common font folder or to Photoshop's font folder. The particular font I wanted to install was Teff's trinite font, but I discovered this is a problem with any postscript files from any company (Tiro Typeworks, Monotype, etc.). I haven't seen this described with Win 7, but searching for a solution, I found that this seems to be an issue with Windows 64 bit systems (XP and Vista) and PS fonts and CS3 products. The only solutions I've found were to use otf fonts (not possible with trinite) or upgrade to CS4 (not something I plan to do, as it is too buggy in Premier, Encore, etc. and I will wait for CS5). Thanks.
    The installation was directly through Win 7 "install font" option. As mentioned, these fonts work fine with Framemaker and MS Office 2007 products.

  • 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.
    http://wonderfulunion.com/dropbox/missingfonts.jpg
    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.
    http://wonderfulunion.com/dropbox/cs3_cs4_fontissue.jpg
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Demetre

    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 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.

  • Change missing fonts in multiple files CS4

    I am using InDesign CS4 and I have several dozen files that are missing fonts because of going from a Mac to Windows. I have approximately 20 documents open, so there are 20 "Missing Fonts" dialog boxes open. If I want to replace the missing fonts, which are pretty much the same in every document, is there a way to replace all the missing "Arial Black"s at once instead of having to replace each font in each document one at a time?
    I hope that makes sense?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    No prob, Lloyd. I meant to include some Handy Illustrative Screenshots but the work I'm actually getting paid to do kept getting in the way  Glad you were able to figure it out.
    Unfortunately, this method doesn't have the "Redefine Style When Changing All" checkbox that you get when you use the Find Font dialog. I usually wind up using this techinque with files I've not styled - e.g. when a designer sends me a package from a Mac with no styles and a bunch of 0k fonts that wouldn't support my target languages even if I did have a license for the font in the first place. In those rare occasions when I have to do this to my own well-styled docs, I made a key combo control-alt-shift-R "Redefine Style" so I could step through the doc and redefine all of the styles to the new font.
    Peter & Uwe, do either of you remember when using find/change for missing fonts started working? Was it new in CS4, or am I remembering PageMaker? Quark? I can't tell. I do remember a time a decade or so ago when I was manually stepping through a massive document made of thousands of individual frames, cursing my inability to search for missing fonts.

  • Does Indesign CS4 recognize missing fonts in links?

    Could anyone tell me if Indesign CS4 (or any version of Indesign) will recognize missing fonts used in a linked image? We have a customer that is using Indesign CS4 they have linked images from photoshop (no fonts in the photoshop images) and .eps files that were created using Easy Barcode Creator. Indesign is not seeing that the font is missing from the eps file (easy barcode reader), nor is there an error when exporting a PDF or print a PS. Preflight in Indesign doesn't detect this either. If I open the eps in Illustrator then I get a font missing error. I don't want to open all the files (supporting links) to find out if I have missing fonts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    I've been playing with this a little, and I get what you see, too with .eps files. Find font will list the fonts used in the links, but for the most part woen't tell you if they are missing (seems to know they're missing in placed .indd files, though). Not a whole lot of help, but at least it puts the list out front where you can see the fonts, and check to see what doesn't look familiar.
    Maybe the scripting guys have some clever ideas.

  • PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall.."

    PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

    Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

  • 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 Photoshop CS4

    I opened an existing CS2 photoshop file in CS4 and I get a missing font error. The font that it can't find is on my system.
    How do I "add" this font so PS can see it?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, I hear ya. But this seems to be a big complaint with 64 bit systems. And since all fonts show up and work fine in all other programs... seems like another adobe bug to me.
    If you want to be a bit specific, Arial has 10 types. Only two show up. Regular and bold. And I'm not alone with this problem.
    This was a bug (from what I read) in office 2007. But I never used 2007. However it wasn't a problem in office 2003 nor is it with my current version of 2010. As I said, no problems whatsoever with anything except... photoshop cs4 64. (works fine in 32 bit vista)
    Now, FWIW, I haven't played much with font directories in the past, but it seems win7 is putting them into their own... kind of "folder". (could be wrong)
    That is, in arials case, for instance, they aren't spread out. As... arial normal, black, bold, etc. They seem to be all lumped in to one. Click on it and they all open for display and are all there but I don't remember them that way in older windows progs.
    But as I said, everything is fine in notepad, wordpad, excel, word, etc. etc. etc. A corrupt font is one thing, but I can't see a corrupt font working in everything but one program. And they DO work in dreamweaver.
    Ok... update. As I said, tried putting them (the arials) in the adobe font directory (which I said was empty). Nothing. Tried again and it duplicated them. Still nothing. Went in and dumped the duplicates... seems to be working.
    So, problem kinda solved. Just no clue why.
    I need a drink and a few excedrins.

  • Fonts and Fireworks CS4 (Mac)

    I discovered that certain fonts WILL cause Fireworks CS4 to not launch on a Mac.
    I have a font library of approximately 5000 fonts and font sets.
    I run the same library on both PC and Mac.
    The PC Fireworks doesn't have a problem, but the Mac Fireworks would crash on launch and say it encountered an error. (Nothing more specific).
    I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my font library and by removing the 500 from the system fonts, Fireworks CS4 now opens and runs without any problems.
    It also runs a lot faster only having to load the system fonts.
    I was so impressed with Suitcase Fusion on the Mac that I got it for the PC as well and sped up all of my CS4 apps.

    Funny thing is... I have a two month old MacBook Pro and except for the first day I had it, it's always had Snow Leopard. The crash was definitely font related, because I did a complete OS reload when I upgraded to a 500Gb hard drive, and that's when I started using Suitcase Fusion to manage my separate library of fonts. That's when Fireworks started working.
