Missing fonts when viewing webpages?

ok i tried to solve a problem i had earlier bec my desktop was not accessable by deleting some fonts that I installed and now when i view certain webpages words are not showing up correctly? Should I just deleted all my fonts and then install a new set?? I have no clue what to do bec nothing seems to work and now my computer is running very slow? Thanks for any suggestions

does anyone know if this will work???
just to give you some guidance OS X has two directories for fonts one in the system /Libraries/Fonts and one specific to each user /Users/"user_name"/fonts. The reason you have two folders is as follows. In the system folder OS X uses these fonts to operate the system such as icons, menus task bars etc. Deleting these fonts may destabilize the OS. Maybe the more advanced users can verify this. Most if not all applications will use fonts from the user's fonts folder.
Normally u should only install/delete files in the master directory if you know what you're doing. Actually a rule of thumb is only install things in your user_name's directories. The reason being that any problem that occurs would be local and not systemic.
The way to re-install your default fonts is as follows:
(1) insert OS X install disc 1
(2) once disk is mounted, scroll down and open the following
System => Installation => Packages
(3) In this folder you will find a lot of useful things one of them is titled, "additionalfonts.pkg"
(4) double click on it and it should reset your fonts folder to it's default setting
Some of the fonts u outlined are not default to OS X. With those I recommend reinstalling the application.
Remember.. this is not windows. Everything in Mac has a well throughout reason. I was a windows user some time ago. I recommend that you buy some training manuals on the OS

First word in text block doesn't display in correct font when viewed by FF

I'm using a template and changed the font from the original. After publishing all the text appears in the correct font when viewed by Safari. When viewed by Firefox or IE the first and sometimes the last word displays in the original font? I've done 40+ pages with the same effect?

Hmmm - not a perfect solution but for some reason this issue is resolved by a space before the first word and after the last word. Weird

I get missing fonts when opening a PDF, but the fonts are activated, I get garbage

I get missing fonts when opening a PDF, but the fonts are activated, I get garbage

The activated fonts are not the same version as those in the PDF. If you use Type>Find Font and replace the fonts with ones from your computer does it work?

Incorrect Fonts When "Printing" Webpage to .pdf

When I "print" a webpage to a .pdf file, I occasionally get an incorrect font. For example, if I print a Wikipedia page, the font in the saved file will be Times New Roman. The font on the webpage looks to be Arial. I'm assuming it is a setting in the Adobe Printer preferences. I just can't seem to find the right setting. Any help is appreciated.

If the web page does not have a printable view option (a print button or printer icon that you can click on), then it is formatted for screen only. These types of sites often do not print nicely. The only alternative, is to try and select the parts that you want to print and then copy and paste them into a word processor or text editor for printing.

PDF export from Pages results in jagged fonts when viewed in Preview

Hi There,
Since installing 10.5.5 I get the following strange behavior: When exporting a file in PDF from Pages certain fonts (such as Palatino) are not shown antialiased anymore when viewed in any Apple software (Preview/Safari). When viewed in Adobe Reader, the fonts appear smooth.
The strange thing is that, when I view PDF files generated last year before updating to 10.5.5 they still show with antialiased (i.e. smooth) fonts in the current Preview/Safari.
It gets even stranger: When exporting the files as .doc into (the resented and ridiculously slow and memory gulping) Word 2008, and then converting them into PDF via the Print command, this phenomenon does not occur, i.e. the fonts look smooth in Preview/Safari.
I would appreciate if anyone had some constructive input to this problem. I would really like to be able avoiding using Word!
Thanks much in advance!

I had the exact same problem that you were describing. I'd create a document in Pages '08, then export it to PDF and I'd find that the text wouldn't be anti-aliased in the PDF.
I was using one of the resumé templates that comes with Pages '08. The template by default sets the font size very low in certain areas of the page, as low a 7. I went through my document and bumped up font sizes that were below 9 and set them to 9. Now when I export to PDF the text looks great.
It was far from obvious to me that the font sizes were linked to the anti-aliasing in my exported PDFs.

Missing fonts when opening iWeb.

When reopening iWeb after making a website succesfully the day before, all my 'fun' kind of fonts that came with my iMac (like Handwriting-Dakota; PortagolTCTT, etc.) are missing. I haven't deleted anything and don't understand how that's possible. Does anyone had the same problem and what is the best thing to do and how did that happend are my questions.
I appriciate any helpfull feedback. Thanks.

iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4) 2 GHz Intel Core Duo

Yep, I had the same problem. It disappeared upgrading 1.0.1 but it seems to be a real bug. Maybe are you using a font manager like Suitcase or Font Agent Pro that could generate conflicts.
For now, it is fixed. So if the missing fonts pb goes on : restart your computer, create a new iWeb document (removing anywhere the iWeb folder from Home/Librairy/ApplicationSupport/iWeb) and try again : don't worry about the "Domain file", iWeb creates a new one when you launch it. The try again with that "virgin" document.
If nothing works, you can reinstall iWeb.

Some album artwork missing only when viewed in tile mode.

Hello, after Restoring to new (to clear up an issue with excessive "other") and updating iPod 5 to iOS 7.1, which corrected issues, I have found an odd glitch with music. Four album covers are missing when viewed in tile mode only. You see them otherwise when viewed any other way, everything plays as it should, it's just there not there in tile view mode, what you do see is black background with white letters telling you the album title and artist name. Have tried powering down, soft reset, Reset All Settings. Going into get info and tapping get artwork. Erasing effected music and syncing albums back into iPod. Erasing entire music library and then reinstalling, and Restore from backup. The same four albums do not appear in tile mode. All effected albums were purchased through iTunes. As far as I know the only other thing to try is the Restore to new, is there something else to try? Thanks.

Sorry Illaass, been there, done that. No joy! Used the suggested method to delete before posting this. (Picked it up from you when you helped someone else with a similar problem-- it worked for them, but not with this one). It's kinda looking like restoring to new? (Please tell me something else... It's such a pain.)

Missing Fonts when fonts are activated on the system.

I created an Indesign CS6 document (334pg book) and used ITC Garamond Bold for the document subheads. This was done with a paragraph style. After editing the document I get a missing font warning for ITC Garamond Bold. The font is activated on the system using Suitcase Fusion 4. If I create a new document the font is available. Both documents open. One shows the font missing. On a Mac OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas on fixing this missing font error?

Why not obtain FontFingler or FontNuke and run these font cache burping utilities and see if the problem goes away? Is it installed in more than one place? Does one of your documents have a Document Fonts subfolder and the other doesn't? Did you maybe try to Export the afflicted document to IDML, and then turn around and re-open that file?

Defaulting fonts when viewing DPS articles in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi.
My fonts are defaulting throughout my folio when I view articles in Adobe content viewer.
This folio is a PDF. I have published before and not had this issue.
Is the problem with Content Viewer?
Will the type display correctly when I publish this folio and view in app?
Thank you.

When a font is missing or unlinked that font shows up as a default font.
The fonts in these documents are not missing or unlinked.
When I update the article it fixes the problem, but only temporarily.
The fonts default the next time I view the article.

Missing data when viewing older pdf in Adobe Reader XI

Hi. I have a large number of older PDFs which I can view fine in Adobe Reader 8 but when I view them with Adobe Reader 11 some of the lighter data is not visible. Is there some setting which would cause this? Do you have any other suggestions?

HI. I didn't mention that Adobe 8 is on a windows server 2003 machine and Adobe 11 is on a Win 7 machine. I was able to get around this problem by opening the pdfs on the server 2003 machine with acrobat 8, saving them to postscript files, then running them through Adobe Distiller 11 on the Win7 machine with the default setting of High Quality Print. This seems like a lot of trouble. Is there a better way?

RH10 Missing TOC when viewed using IE11

I have generated webhelp using RH10. The webhelp works fine with both Firefox and Chrome but when I display the webhelp from my local machine using IE11 the TOC is missing.
Here is a screenshot.
I also notice that the index is missing as well.

RH10 webhelp in IE11 does not work and is a known bug that has been reported to Adobe.
If you run the developer tools in IE11 (F12 key), select the Emulation Tab and change Document Mode from Edge (default) to 10, you will find your webhelp displays correctly.
This is something that MS has introduced in IE11. However, no one has yet suggested a way to make this setting "stick" once the developer tools are closed.
Report this issue as a bug to Adobe - the more users report it, the earlier Adobe may start working on a fix.
There is another work around, forcing IE11 to open the site in an earlier version emulation mode, but apparently this causes problems for users of IE whose version is not the same as the forced mode.
Have a look at earlier posts on this forum about this subject.

Firefox freezes then makes a single beep when viewing webpages.

I have been getting a problem with Firefox for a while not. I don't remember exactly when it started happening. However, the problem is when I load a webpage and scroll down it will freeze. Then, I will get a single beep from the computer. It does this all the time. Is there any way to fix it? Please let me know.

hi,
Try disabling '''Use Autoscrolling''', '''Use Smooth Scrolling''' and '''Use hardware acceleration...''' in '''Tools''' (or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''', if they are enabled.

Missing fonts when saving in another directory

I made a page (the index), put a web font, the css and font is saved in a directory and is ok, the page looks perfect in browser, now i save the same page with another name in another directory and dreamweaver ask me "Do you want to update the links?" I click "yes" and now the new saved page dont display the fonts, if i save in the same directory that the original yes but if saved in a subfolder dont display fonts. Why, the css has the link and route to the fonts, what am i doing wrong???!!!

Hi
Check the css file that is created for the web fonts, as this may be using a relative link to the web font files.
Without seeing the code that is only a guess, can you upload the page, (and all files) to a web server for us to check?

Missing Fonts when calling Output ES

Hi. I have tried implementing the Output ES Generating a PDF document quick start and I'm getting the following error from the XMLFormService

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.
