Missing kerning pairs in Adobe Fonts

Wow, I just realised that Adobe fonts don't include the following kerning pairs: Ws, Wz. Those pairs are very common in my language (polish). There are plenty of common words like in polish starting with 'Ws' or 'Wz': 'Wszystko (=everything), Wstać (=to get up), Wschód (=east), Wszędzie (=everywhere), Wsadzić (=to put into), Wzór (=pattern), Wznieść (=to put up), Wzrastać (=to grow up) and many more.
This seems to be a massive oversight from Adobe. If some font support Central Europe glyphs, then it should also support kerning pairs that are typical for those languages.
Even such great font like Minion Pro doesn't support 'Ws', 'Wz'.
How could this be?

Have you tried re-creating Photoshop preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Embedding an Adobe font using Cufon

Hi all, I need some clear clarification from Adobe or someone in the know on whether I can legally embed a font like VAG Rounded which has a 'Print & Preview' license using a technique such as Cufon (similar to sIFR)? The Cufon website (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/) suggests that all Adobe fonts are 'Known to be safe' but I'd like to be sure to be sure!

I have been researching this for a while, to no avail. Adobe is probably freaking out about the possible, unforeseen implications of a blanket "Sure, go ahead" statement.
Legalese Mumbo Jumbo
Reading through their SLA, Section 14.7.4 states (emphasis added):
You may convert and install the font software into another format for use in other environments, subject to the following conditions: A computer on which the converted font software is used or installed will be considered as one of your Permitted Number of Computers. Use of the font software you have converted will be pursuant to all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Such converted font software may be used only for your own customary internal business or personal use and may not be distributed or transferred for any purpose, except in accordance with Section 4.4 of this agreement.
Section 4.4 simply states that you can't transfer the "software" unless you forfeit your claims to it (ie. sharing).
What's clear:
You can convert the font: The Cufón Generator converts your fonts to another format.
You can put the converted font on your web server: it's just another "permitted" computer.
What's not so clear:
What in the world does "customary internal" use mean? I'm convinced that this is superseded by Section 14.7.5 (see below)
Just because you can put the font on your web server, doesn't mean you can make it available to the rest of the world. I'm convinced that the Cufón version, with it's attempts at domain-level restrictions and font subsetting, is not "distributing" the font. Bad people will always try to steal and always have some level of success. If they steal the font from my personal or business computer, am I guilty of "distributing"? So what is the difference between my web server and my laptop at Starbucks? They are both "permitted" computers, they are both accessible to the public, and neither of them are actively "handing over" Adobe's intellectual property.
Is "embedding" the key?
Section 14.7.5 states:
You may embed copies of the font software into your electronic documents for the purpose of printing and viewing the document. If the font software you are embedding is identified as “licensed for editable embedding” on Adobe’s website at http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/embeddingeula.html, you may also embed copies of that font software for the additional purpose of editing your electronic documents. No other embedding rights are implied or permitted under this license.
A web page is an electronic document. It is intended for printing and viewing. If you don't allow your visitors to edit your page, it seems like you could ignore the "additional purpose of editing your electronic documents".
This isn't a formal legal opinion; Adobe are you listening?
Proceed at your own risk. Clearly, I'm not a lawyer or an official Adobe spokesperson. That being said, unless Adobe takes a stand on this issue, they are losing out on a potential revenue stream. Why? Because they either miss the opportunity to sell "web page embeddable" licenses OR their fonts get converted into clones and freely distributed all around the 'net. That last point includes the ability to produce print products in addition to web page rendering.
Adobe, sIRF is NOT the answer. It can be decompiled and the fonts extracted. Flash is NOT always an acceptable solution for the web. I have a ton of money invested in fonts, money I have willingly parted with. Just give us a sign that doesn't require lawyers and courts to interpret.
Push this issue!
Fonts on the web were one of the first complaints of early web designers. Now, we can do some amazing and previously unthinkable things, yet the crown jewel is missing.

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw, Lucinda and papyrus. How can I access these.

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw Handwriting, Lucinda and Papyrus. How can I access these on cs5? I have not found the fonts for this program to my liking.

I can't find any reference to a handwriting font named Bradshaw anywhere. Are you sure you have the name right? ITC Bradley Hand Regular, along with Papyrus and the Lucida (no "n") family are all included with recent versions of Windows, though, and should be in your font list in CS5 if you are, in fact, running Windows.
Is this the same machine that has CS3 installed? Did you remove CS3? Do the fonts show up in any other programs? Indesign can see fonts that are installed in the system fonts, the Common Files > Adobe > Fonts folder, and the private fonts folder for InDesign in the application folder. If the fonts show in CS3, but not elsewhere, they are probably in the CS3 InDesign Fonts folder.

I'm using Adobe font Minion Pro and I need a small customization done. What is the process?

My project involves transliteration from Hebrew to English. The standard denotation for certain Hebrew letters that do not have a direct equivalent in the English alphabet requires a that a dot be placed underneath the English letter (particularly the letters 'H' and 'V').
The Adobe font Minion Pro offers hundreds of glyphs of alternative letter formats, including many letters with a dot underneath, just not the two letters that I need.
Is there any ways to get this font customized to offer these two letters with a dot underneath in all the style options (i.e., capital, lower-case, bold, italics, etc.)?
Is there an alternative? Perhaps a similar-looking font offers the glyphs in question or maybe there is a way to manipulate the font to meet my requirements i.e., there is a glyph for a dot that sits beneath the letters but it takes up its own space, maybe I could type it in the same space as a letter?
I've never used the forum before and I don't even know if anyone will see this.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sammy

With regards to Mike Wenzloff's response in terms of the license for Adobe fonts, unlike many other font foundries, Adobe does not prohibit you from making alterations of a font for your own use, whether changing individual glyphs, adding glyphs, deleting glyphs, changing or adding font metrics, and/or conversions to other font types.
Having said that, modifying a standard font is not a particularly prudent idea unless you contract witht he original font foundry to make such modifications. Why? Virtually all commercial font editing software is lossy, even if you don't change font types. The lossiness often occurs in the hinting since most font editors only retain the font shapes from the original font, not the hinting information.
More importantly, the needs expressed by sammyoziel, the original poster in this thread, are very real yet fairly simple. Effectively, he wants to make the equivalent of compound glyphs. The most common example of this is to portray the sound of the Hebrew letter Chet which is the gutteral h sound, often represented in Western Latin languages using ch. Of course, ch is more commonly used for the actual ch sound as in child.
I've seen two methods of dealing with these Hebrew letters with no Western Latin equivalent. The first is what sammyoziel suggests, putting a dot under the character. The other method is to simply use the underscore. For example, use h to represent the chet sound. That requires no modification to any fonts at all and is probably the simplest and safest way of accomplishing what you need.
If you must use the first method (and I have personally had to do this a number of times), I would most strongly recommend against trying to add glyphs to the font. What Unicode values would you use? How would you key them? And you would end up with a non-standard set of fonts. I would recommend that you simply use two glyphs. In the case of the h with a dot underneath, I would first key the h and then the period character. Custom kern the two glyphs such that the period is centered with the h. Then custom lower the glyph such that it is beneath the h. You may also need to do a custom kerning with the following letter or perhaps, insert an extra non-breaking space (see which space width works best) after the period.

Adobe Fonts used in logo design and copyright laws

Hi, if you are using an Adobe design software such as Illustrator, Flash or Fireworks to create a logo or banner for use as print and or web where it includes Adobe font in the logo and the characters create words ie; the trading name of the business do you need to approach Adobe for permission to use the fonts or is it expected considering the software is for graphical creations?

Why are we now saying that Photoshop can be used for logos? And what is wrong with CorelDraw? For someone who does not want to argue, it seems odd that an argument is happening within their own posts. :)
The ideal logo design tool offers versatile vector path editing tools and spot color swatch capability. Logo designers generally use Freehand, Illustrator, or CorelDraw... which all offer these abilities.

Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

Embedding Adobe fonts in a folio: any issues?

Adobe's font licensing terms/faq don't seem to address embedding Adobe fonts in a DPS folio.
I'm assuming that folio-embedding terms will be the same as PDFs -- that is, fonts that are okay for print and preview embedding in a PDF are okay for folios, too.
Is there an official policy for folio embedding? Anyone have this issue come up already?
Thanks!

There's actually two issues here that need attention. If you're just outputting to default DPS folios then the pages become for all intents and purposes images so there's no real font-related issues. The more difficult area is if you're embedding your own html files that use Adobe fonts. I'd imagine things get more coplicated here.

Can't see Adobe fonts in ID CS6

They're in HD>Library>Fonts. I've even added the relevant font aliases to ID CS6's Fonts folder.
I'm referring to Adobe fonts. They appear after Zapfino in Font Book and in assorted Apple programs, and in strict alphabetical order (i.e. A for Adobe) in Word and FontExplorer.
In ID CS6 I've searched for Adobe Caslon under A, under C and among the esoteric font groups after Zapfino.
Any help would be most welcome!

On further checking I found I had duplicates. The active ones were in <user>/Library/Fonts and the inactive ones were in /System/Library/Fonts. I've reversed the actives/inactives and they now behave. I guess ID doesn't care for the <user>/Library/Fonts path.

Adobepdf.dll missing when 99% of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium is installed?

99% Installed on Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium then received an error window: The file AdobePDF.dll on Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click O.K. Browse to the file and copy files from it. Please advise as to how to finish this install. I am able to open each one of the applications that were installed from the Program Files, but the install is still sitting at 99% and the Files Needed window is still up. Please advise. Thank you!

I did see this information, but I do not have 64 bit, nor am I trying to

Lion, Font Book & Adobe Font Folio

Howdy All,
I have a brand new Mac mini with Lion installed (of course) and I'm having a bear of a time loading the Adobe Font Folio. In general, I'm having a really hard time with Font Book on other Lion, late vintage, machines. I've tried every counter measure in my bag of tricks: boot in safe mode, Onyx cleaning, new user accounts, deleting plists, etc. At first I ignored the Font Book warnings, then I've heeded every one and not loaded the fonts. On my latest attempt, with a new user account account I have 444 fonts loaded, with the vast majority turned off, but Font Book hangs. I suppose I can always flatten the machine and start from scratch, but I'm just wondering if someone has an insight into the Lion/Font Book situation that I don't have. For the record, I have about 600 fonts running on about 30 Snow Leopard machines without any drama.
Thanks in advance for ideas.

Same here. My thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15995212#15995212
I've had no replies. Have you looked at Activity Monitor while this is happening? check it out. I think i'm just going to go back to Leopard, don't know what else to do. Do you have an SSD in there?
