Missing letters

All of a sudden when I turn on my computer in the am, my file name and drop down menus are missing letters. Like if the file name was "energyFile.doc", if might show up as " ne gyF e.d " Same with my drop down menus. I have run TechTool Pro on it - BTW 10.4.11. If I restart the computer, sometimes it helps other times it does not - any suggestions out there?

Sounds like a flaky Font, or second guess RAM.

Display problem- Missing letters

Hello there,
I had a display problem with my 15" mac book pro. Sometimes the words on the menu bar will have missing letters. For example, F le Ed t Vi w and etc. This does not only happen in the main interface, it also occurs when I'm browsing websites (the contents have missing letters too)or open other applications(iphoto, imovie) The problem is getting worse these days, I 'll have to restart my computer every single time when it happens.
Does anyone have any solution to this technical issue?
Thank you very much,
Lilly

I tried IVMichael's suggestion above and had no joy, but when i restarted i found a file called /Users/your_name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServicesQuartantined
after deleting that and restarting i seem to have solved the problem.
Good luck

Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
Thank you for your time,
Jason

This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.

Keyboard envy dv7 - missing letters

I've noticed while I'm typing in a document/email, etc., I have a lot of missing letters, forcing me to back up and fix them. I'm not a particularly fast typer, but I did not have this problem when I was using another HP laptop with Windows 7. Now I'm using not only a newer computer but Windows 8. I recently upgraded my bios with no improvement. Anything else I can check or adjust?

Could just be you're hitting the touchpad when typing since it's a different laptop.

Missing Letters throughout document

I have been working on compiling a number of smaller PDFs into one larger PDF for a manual I am working on. I had everything compiled a few days ago and a co-worker added a new pto the PDF yesterday that needed to be included. As I was proofing I have come to discover that on random pages there are missing letters that were not missing prior. I have done many searches but cannot find why this is happening or how to fix it. I have tried to replace these pages with the original PDF but every time I replace the page the letters continue to be missing. I have included a small example of the missing letters.
As you can see it is does not make any sense with the missing letters. IS there anyway to fix this problem without starting over? This is a 110+ page manual.
I am working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 10

My post # 3, June 24
I can document instances where several pdf's (from various sources) without embedded fonts are combined into one composite pdf.
Acrobat will not be able to successfully embed the fonts.
If however, all these original documents do have the fonts embedded, there are no problems rendering/printing the document.
Embedded and embedded subset are equal. Full subsetting is not necessary. (In the case of Open Type fonts there can be thousands of glyphs available which would increase pdf file size unnecessarily. Only the fonts used are embedded (subset).)

Missing letters when typing-also lack of spaces

When I type normally, I have dropped or missing letters and missing spaces. I have changed keyboards but it didn't help. Ths is what it looks like when I type normally. Otherwise, I need t type very sloly and that just doesn't orkfrme.

It sounds like the Filter Keys function may be turned on. It's an Ease of Access setting that tries to filter out inadvertent key presses. Are you using Windows 7? If so, try this: Click the Start button, and type "ease of access" into the search box. Click Ease of Access Center from the list of results.In the Ease of Access main window, scroll down and click Make the keyboard easier to use.Under Make it easier to type, find Turn on Filter Keys. If the box next to Turn on Filter Keys is checked, un-check it.Click OK.

Hello, thanks for your tips
I will try one after another.
I have downloaded SP3 from the directlink above.
I have found SP2 here-> https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-downloads
But I cannot find SP1 until now. The login on http://service.sap.com/bosap-support
doesnt work with the Forum Login (!?) So I have to call the german SAP support for that.
I will give a few more details that might be interesting
We used CR8 in our Application. Now with new Computers there were problems with printing to a virtual network printer. CR8 hangs unreproduceable. So we upgraded to CRXI. Now its the test phase and the hanging CR did not appear anymore. But now we have the problem with the missing letters. Because I am new to CR and especially CRXI I just brought CR to work and did not install any SPs.
Best Regards

Exporting to PDF - Missing letters InDesign CS5

I'm using CS5 at work. My boss already had a commercial font, the Helvetica Neue serie. I'm using that font right now in an InDesign document for our yearly catalogue.
The InDesign file is perfect, pictures and texts. But when I translate it to a PDF, letter go missing, 'li' 'ni' 'lo' and sequences of letters like that, all around the catalogue.
I know there are some threads that talk about missing letters but in previous versions of InDesign.
Anyone got an idea ?
I created once of twice PDFs without that problem, so I wonder what is happening ?

should I change font then ? it's kindda late, it's uploading with corrections right now to China....
Well, if what you have works for you, and if it's already on its way, then it's a bit late to change the font or change the way you made the PDF.
For the future, though, it would be good for you to figure out what went wrong. Now, I don't have a full set of Helvetica (horrors! I work in a nonprofit), so I had to try this with other fonts. I picked Minion Pro at first, actually. I exported all kinds of PDFs, both for print and for interactive, and I couldn't make the ligatures drop. And I viewed it in my browser as well as opened from the desktop, I tried it with generic Times, I tried it in many, many ways. I was not able to reproduce your issue.
It'll be worth the time spent digging if you can figure this out. Here are my guesses:
1) You folks are using a plugin or another app or some non-Adobe PDF viewer in your browsers. I remember in the early days of... um... I think it was Preview on the Mac circa 10.3? it would sometimes mess up display of ligatures in embedded fonts.
2) Everyone in your organization has the same corrupt version of Helvetica. (A very, very long shot.)
3) There's a bug in the Interactive PDF export. (Another very, very long shot.)
4) The font is not actually embedding correctly in the interactive PDF for unknown reasons, and we can't tell.
Anyhow, if it's a problem with your setup or your working methods, better to find out now rather than later. And if it's a bug, same. I'd start by trying to export interactive PDFs with other fonts that do have ligatures to see if you can narrow it down to "just ligatures" or "just Helvetica."

Email received are missing letters and words

Recently I have noticed that some of the email I am receiving is missing letters and even words. It can make it hard to understand what was sent to me. It is not every email that does this. Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks

I am having the same issues. Also after installing Office 2008. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Keyboard missing letters as i type

I bought my laptop about 6 weeks ago and this has been a problem since day 1.I tried to chat with online suppot but the chap did not help me. When I type, every now and then the cursor freezes and - whilst it has frozen - the subsequent letters i type do not appear. Then it will unfreeze and the letters will continue as i type.This happens randomly and sporadically. It doesn't matter if I am typing fast or slowly, it still happens. As a result - say I were to type the line 'I went for a walk in the rain. I saw a black dog. I waved and said hello....'
It might appear something like: 'I went for a walk in the rin. Iaw a black dog. Iwaved andsaid hllo....'
As ilook up at the screen i see that what i intended to type has not appeared. Very frustrating and it is becoming time consuming with work and emails as i have to constantly correct. It is also an issue whilst entering passwords. ********* etc. Just wondering if someone can suggest help / a fix for this issue??? Thanks in advance.

Hello JoeyR,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
With the keyboard freezing, and missing letters that you type. I would suggest the following document 'Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)'. The part of the document that you will want to complete are Pressing keys does noting (keyboard is not working), and Key presses are slow to respond.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting.
Thank you.

Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

I just got a call about this exact issue today!
The person is at a Marriott hotel which uses some type of company called STSN for their internet connection via both Ethernet and Wifi.
http://www.stsn.com/home.html
I'm waiting for them to call me back after trying every trouble shooting step I could think of. My only guess now is that it's Safari's pop up blocker blocking some kind of navigation or log-in window. I'm going to tell them to turn off pop-up blocker menu choice next.
After that it's turning off Java and Javascript to see if the have any affect.
Btw, they're experiencing this propblem on a TiBook G4. Also tried a new user account and two other pre-existing accounts but all had the same issue. Both with Ethernet and WiFi the problem remained.

Keyboard misses letters when typing

When I am typing on my keyboard that came with my computer, it misses letters. I type on several other keyboards and they all work fine so I don't think it is my touch. Had this for 3 months now and Best Buy refuses to take care of the problem for me. Can anybody help me?

Missing letters when typing on Satellite M105

I am using a Satellite M105-S3084 (Windows XP MCE) and have been unsuccessfully struggling with a keyboard problem since I first bought it. I tend to type fast, especially double letters and find that very often only one of the double letters shows up on screen. For instance "kk" would result in "k" only and similar missing letters even if not doubled. This causes a lot of wasted time correcting what I type.
I know that there are settings under Control Panel\Keyboard ("repeat delay" and "repeat rate") that permit setting speeds, but I have found them frustrating to use. I've tried both at various settings and still have a problem with missing letters. Maybe I just do not know which way to set which setting and I am just getting frustrated, or there is another setting somewhere else whic I do not know about.
Have others had this problem with mising letters while typing and found a solution?
Thanks.

Hello Jeff
If I am remembering well there was similar issue with Satellite L10 or L20, I can not remember. This was fixed with new BIOS version. US notebook models are not known to me but if you have time you can check Ask IRIS on US Toshiba page. There you can find many interesting documents.
Check it under http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/supportcentral/supportcentral.do?id=m1
Maybe you will be lucky and find something about your issue with keyboard.
