Non English Fonts - Croatian Fonts

Hi everzone,
I am working on a document that is in Croatian language and forthat reason need to use some special Croatian letters (for example ć,č,đ,š,ž). However, fonts I have installed on my PC do not support these fonts and I am looking to find what I need to install to get it working. I tried researching on the web and "Adobe Central European Font Package" is mntioned but I am not sure where to get that and if that would resolve the problem.
I found on free font as download on the internet that has these fonts but I need some nicer script like writing to do.
THANKS A LOT!!!

Bickham Script Pro came with Creative Suite 3, and I think later versions as well. It has Croatian support as well. ... Yup, you can find Bickham Script Pro in CS5 on the "Content" disc of CS5, too. Doesn't look half bad, either.
I think that the "Adobe Eastern European font packs" you are looking for are here, at the bottom of the page. However, I think that they are useful only for filling out forms in Acrobat - they're not actually fonts that you can install on your computer and use in InDesign, if I recall correctly, so I doubt it will resolve your need for additional fonts. But if you're looking for it, there it is.
I use a tool called BabelMap (a truly awesome bit of donation-ware) that lets me audit the fonts I already have installed... if you're feeling ambitious, check it out. I use it all the time because I work with many languages, and there's no easier way that I've found to quickly audit my fonts looking for one that supports a particular language. Here's what I do:
1) I copy to my clipboard all of the characters I need for a given language: ćčđšž. Or, perhaps, a phrase that has all of the special characters I need.
2) Open up BabelMap and go to Fonts -> Font Coverage
3) Select the "all characters in this text" field and paste my characters into the box
4) Click on "Calculate Font Coverage"
5) This generates a list of all of the fonts I have installed on my computer that support the characters I pasted into the box. I can then select the first, and then hit the down arrow key to look at the next font. In this way, I can just eyeball all of the fonts I have installed at any one time and know which ones support the language I'm working on.
That tool may be overkill for you - I handle dozens of languages so I have some, er, stringent requirements. But, it will tell you which of your fonts will work with your language.

Non english fonts

I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.8. For some reason, it will not print non-English fonts. As an example, I have New Peninim installed. Fontbook recognizes and verifies it. When I set that as the font in Textedit, it shows the text I type in but it does not show it in that font, which is Hebrew, but shows it in an English Font style. It does the same thing with most any other non-English font except for Cyrillic fonts, which it will show. Any ideas?

How should I organize and disable non-english fonts.

I'm a graphic designer and I'm having trouble organizing all of these random hebrew/japanese/chinese fonts that I never use.
I don't want to screw up my system, but I also don't want to scroll through 200 fonts every time I want to find one.
Is there an easy way I can find all of the non-english fonts and disable them?
Fontbook freezes and crashes all the time for me, so I've been using Suitcase Fusion free trial for a few days and disabled a bunch of fonts through it. Though, it prevents me from disabling anything considered a "System Font" which is fine, only having the necesccary non-english fonts is okay, I just don't want 75% of my font list in my adobe applications to be un-usable fonts.
I guess my problem is that by default, some fonts are pre-disabled on OS X, and should I run into problems, I want a way to easily re-enable these fonts if I need to. Also, since I've disabled so many fonts, I dont' know what ones are enabled by default. How would I go about restoring all of my fonts?
I think it'd be nice to be able to sort all of the fonts by what language they're in. But I don't know what language the font is because I don't speak those languages. Another problem is that you can't organize local fonts in Suitcase. I think using fontbook would be my best option for this, before switching back to Suitcase for regular use, but I still have the problem of restoring my already disabled fonts correctly, and figuring out which fonts are in what language. Could anyone help me out with this?

PS Here is a rough list of fonts provided with OS X intended for use only with particular non-Latin scripts:
Arabic : al bayan, baghdad, damascus, decotype naskh, geeza pro, nadeem
Hebrew: arial hebrew, corsiva hebrew, new peninim, raanana
Thai: ayuthaya, krungthep, sathu, silom, thonburi
Lao : lao
Tibetan: kailasa, kokonor
Korean: gungseo, headline, nanum, pcmyungjo, pilgi, applegothic, applemyungjo
Chinese: biaukai, gb18030, hei, heiti, kai, lihei, lisong, stfangsong, stheiti, stkaiti, stsong, apple ligothic, baoli, kaiti, lantinghei, libian, songti, wawati, weibei, xingkai, yuanti, yuppi
Japanese: hiragino
Armenian: mshtakan
Ethiopic: kefa
Indic: devanagari, bangla, gurmukhi, gujarati, oriya, tamil, telugu, kannada, malayalam, sinhala,
Myanmar : myanmar
Cherokee : plantagenet cherokee
UCAS : euphemia
Khmer : khmer

Non-English fonts problems.

Hello guys,
I have a problem with non-English (well Cyrillic) font. I faced this problem 3 days ago when was working in iDVD trying to type text there. The problem is if I type in Russian with chosen font it does no appear as its english counterpart. I have tried many of them but it seems all of them (except may be two or three) work same (wrong) way. I have also checked them in other programms and got the same result. I have even checked this in Photoshop CS2 but... guess.. the same!
I have read lot's of topics but did not find a suitable solution for me although I used some of tips while working on the problem. For example I checked everything in System Preferences and Fonts folders. Everything is ticked/unticked there as appropriate.
Hope you'll give me a solution.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Tom,
thank you for your reply and for dealing with my problem. I am sorry for not being understandable. It may be because English is not my first language. I'll try to explain it in a different way. I was working on iDVD project and tried different fonts. As I was doing the project in both languages (English and Russian) because I wanted them to look the same. For English version I took Monotype Coursiva font (hope I spell right) as it was suitable to the whole theme of the project. When I typed with the same font in Russian it did not look like its English version but still readable (it is not the case of encoding problems when a text you have typed looks as the set of strange symbols). Then I tried Lucida Handwriting and oher having the same result. I have tried CY fonts as well but it was difference in appearence between letters and digits (I typed chapter names like this January 2007 and so on). Digits appeared different to russian letters, actually they were similar to English version.
I switched to Mac a year ago from Windows and absolutely love it. In Windows I mostly used Word and Power Point to work with text and did not have such problems (hope windows users are not reading this now).
I think it is related to Apple fonts because I noticed that all the applications share the same Font Book. I have tried different applications on my Mac in order to track the problem down and even Microsoft Office's Word for Mac which I use sometime was not able to do the job I requested. In other words I have same problem. May be my Font Book is not full? May be I need to update or upgrade it?
Thanks.
P.S. It's possible that my explanation is a bit complicated and you still cannot understand what the problem is. If so, would it be a good idea to send you some screenshots to be able to show you what I mean?
If answer is "yes" will you give me your e-mail, please?

I want to get rid of Non-english fonts on my imac

I want to get rid of all the languages besides english on my imac. Also, my extended fonts folder that was in Library is now non-existent, all seems to be through font book...ugh.

The program used to remove languages is Monlingual from http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ . Developer says it works on Snow Leopard, however, at least one person on their web site says it works under Lion. In any event, you should have a system backup before using it. Choose the languages to delete carefully.

Non-English fonts not rendering correctly in iMovie 10.0.3?

I use xenotype Tibetan font in iMovie and it has always rendered correctly until I updated from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3. Now many of the stacked characters do not render correctly in any of the titles. Even projects that I made three months ago with 10.0.2 when opened in the new version render the font incorrectly. Is there a reason for this change? Is there any adjustment I can do? Line-height adjustment? iMovie 10.0.3 seems to be the only Mac software currently made by apple that doesn't render the font correctly.

Hello,
Welcome to the discussions. There have been some transition problems reported, although maybe not so many problems as you are experiencing.
I had the black/flash with the transition cross-dissolve in one of my movies recently. I found the suggestions in this thread to resolve that: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3842119#3842119
Have a look and see if it can help you.

Fonts messing up on non-english windows

I'm using Director 10.1 and Flash 8 Xtra for a 5 language
DVD-ROM, English, Spanish,French, German and Italian. The etxt is
stored in Director code and sent to several Flash 8 movies to
display them
Got results from my testing house today to say certain
characters not appearing when Spanish and Simplified Chinesse set
as OS Language on Win XP SP2. Both my flash movies and Director
text fields display ? instead of the relevant character. Sometimes
the character has an accent above it othertimes just a regular
letter like e or g. I am using embed fonts in both Director and
Flash. Avenir LT 85 Heavy seems to generate these ? and on some
screens in Director using regular text members the layout messes
(words apearing one character at a time on a line) when I use
Avenir 45 Book.
Now on my UK PC all 5 languages display fine, it's just on
these test machines.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?
Thanks
Kevin Boyd

Shouldn't be an issue if the font is embedded. The only thing
I can think
of is make sure that you're using the embedded version of the
font for every
text/field object. (There should be an * next to the font
name.) Also, is
this text set by the program? Or is it entered by the user?
If it's
user-entered text, a non-English keyboard may be inputting
foreign
characters which your embedded font may not support.
(Particularly the
Chinese one.) If it's necessary for the foreign-language user
to input
text, you may have to make some sort of conversion code to
make sure that
it's fully compatible.
I really hope that Adobe can do what Macromedia never would
and put Unicode
support into the next version of Director. Most problems like
this would go
away if they did that.

English font "Ostrich" not visible in german pages.

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro, August 2013 and yosemite and latest version of pages.
I have installed a free font named "Ostrich Sans". But in pages this font and a lot of others from the font collection are not visible, I suppose because they are english fonts. How can I activate these fonts?
Thanks a lot!!
Simone

There is no German Pages they are all the same Pages, and there is no such thing as an "English" font.
It either has the Latin letters, which it does, or it has a non-Latin set and even then practically all non-Latin fonts include the Latin.
Look further down the list, Apple has a couple of different categories for the fonts. Also since Ostrich is an extremely thin font it can be hard to see in the list. I see it in all versions of Pages.
Do you see Ostrich in TextEdit?

Is there a way to prevent Mail from loading non system fonts?

For over a year, and a system OS upgrade, Mail has been taking 7 - 10 minutes to load all the thousands of fonts I have on my computer for graphic design. This started with Snow Leopard on my 2009 Mac Pro (10 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD). At first I didn't know why the computer was taking such a long time to finish boot up. So I reformatted the drive--zeroing it out. Then I installed Mavericks and reinstalled everything else. Finally I tried logging the system activity during startup and noticed that something to do with fonts took up the biggest chunk of this time. Because Mavericks loads any programs you leave running at shut down, I saw that if Mail had the fonts window open, the list of fonts would slowly grow, filling up with the many font families I use for my work. I called tech support for my font management utility but they say the fonts are not in the system and and shouldn't affect the system during startup. In the end I gave up and just go drink a few coffees after hitting the start button. It's like going back to the early days 25 years ago.
Can I stop Mail from loading any non-system fonts? I never use anything but the default font.

Hey SchenkerBob,
It is possible to disable non-system fonts temporarily for all applications using the Font Book application. This article explains how to do so -
Mac Basics: Font Book - Apple Support
In particular -
Disable and enable specific fonts
In situations where you'd like to prevent a font from being available in applications, but you don't want to completely remove the font from your Mac, you can use Font Book to disable the font.
In Font Book, click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
Click the name of the font in the Font column.
Choose Disable "Font Name" Family from the Edit menu.
Since it might be problematic to have to disable each font individually, you can create a collection of fonts and disable the collection. See the article for how to create a font collection -
Organize fonts as collections
When working with fonts, you may discover that you use certain fonts frequently, but rarely use others. To make it easier to find the font you are looking for, you can organize your fonts into collections.
From the Font Book File menu, choose New Collection.
Type in a name for the new collection.
Click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
Drag the fonts that you want from the Font column onto the name of your new collection in the Collection column.
You can then disable collections of fonts -
You can also disable or enable all fonts in a collection: Click the name of the collection in the Collection column, then choose Disable "Collection Name" or EnableCollection Name" " from the Edit menu.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement:"The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach." How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement: "The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach."
I could not get rid of the Tahoma font in the WORD file.
How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

Thank you very much !
Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
Thanks again !

How do I get rid of non-latin fonts?

Hi -
Using FontBook I've isolated all the non-latin fonts into one collection. I had Photoshop shut down during this. I deactivated the fonts individually and then did the same to that non-latin collection. But when I launch Photoshop - all those fonts still show up on the font list. There have always been a few in MS Word - and they are still there - not deactivated.
Eventually I want to delete these useless fonts from my over loaded hard drive - but I can't even seem to isolate them and deactivate them using Font Book.
What is the correct procedure for deleting fonts - or at least deactivating them so they don't show up on any app's font list.
TIA your experience,
j2

Olde English font not displaying correctly

I'm trying to use and Olde English font. When I use it in TextEdit, works great but when I use it in Pages, it is being substituted with something else.
I have screenshots of each if that helps.
Thoughts?

Off the cuff, bets are you have a broken SFNT Spline Font file, that is, somebody's been at the tables that lay out the type in the line. Trying to figure out what's the matter with a font file from an unknown source without being able to determine the state of the tables in the font file is tough troubleshooting. In general, type should be treated as any other application program - you buy a licence, you get support, you get upgrades with bug fixes and beautiful new features. Would that it worked that way.

Chinese Font and English Font in one paragraph

I am working on a book translated from English into Traditional Chinese, using Indesign CS4 under WinXP sp3. In many cases I need to put English words among Chinese Characters. I set up Character Styles to apply the English Fonts I want, then doing word by word manually. Besides of the slow speed, it's easy to make mistakes doing by hand. I desperatly want to find a way to set up PARAGRAPH STYLES that I can specify both Chinese and English Fonts in a same paragraph stye. Will be very apprecited if someone please teach me how to get it.

Yes it can be done in CS4. I am doing a billingual book in Chinese and English. What you can do is select the paragraph,
1. Open "Paragraph styles", double click - "Basic Paragraph", Select "Basic Character Formats", Change the Font to a Chinese Character (e.g. SimSun and the size is 12)
2. Don't close the box, then select "GREP Style", select "New GREP Style", click "Apply Styel" and Select "New Character Style"
3. a New Character Style Box comes up, then select "Basic Character Formats" and select the English Character (e.g. Arial and the size is 14), then OK.
4. Will back to Paragraph styles box, then click "To Text" and select "Wildcards" and select "Any Letters", then click OK. It is done!!
I tried many ways before, and how I am getting used to it. Remember, if you have many different styles need to be set, (for example: Title (with both languages), contents (with both languages), you can set different Character's Name for different purposes when the "New Character Style" box comes up.

Non-standard fonts in JOptionPane

I have looked extensively through this forum, and no one has answered this specific question, even though it has been asked several different ways. Maybe someone has an answer now.
I am writing a client app using Java 1.4.2_02 that needs to display many languages. I have all of the European languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser and JOptionPane. I even have the Asian languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser. What I can't do is display the Asian languages (and probably any non-standard font) in JOptionPane correctly - all I see are boxes in place of the characters. Here is the relevant code of what I have tried so far:
        Locale.setDefault(Locale.JAPAN);
        int option = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
        String [] buttonText = null;
        switch(option) {
            case JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION:
                buttonText = new String[2];
                buttonText[0] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.yesButtonText");
                buttonText[1] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.noButtonText");
                break;
            // other cases...
        JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane("Do you wish to display Japanese fonts?",
                                          JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,
                                          option,
                                          null,
                                          buttonText);
        // Have tried many fonts - MS Gothic seems to be the one that should work, though.
        // BOLD seems to slightly work - I see a (Y) or a (N) after the strange characters.
        jop.setFont(new Font("MS Gothic", Font.BOLD, jop.getFont().getSize()));
        JDialog jopDialog = jop.createDialog(null, "Dialog Title");
        jopDialog.show();Even though most of the above code is from a post by one of the authors of "Java Internationalization", this doesn't work. Has anyone solved this problem?

To solve this problem, you have to tell the UIManager to set the font everywhere you need the new font. Unforunately, there is no one method call to do this. So here is the short version:
        localizedFont = new Font("MingLiU", Font.PLAIN, 12); // or whatever font you need
        UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("Button.font", localizedFont);
        // etc...    Another thread (I forget where) gave code to extract all of the properties of UIManager - find that thread to get all the properties.

Can't display non-unicode font

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
    Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font
    Font fontMapInfo = new Font( "MapInfo Transportation", Font.PLAIN, 25); // non-unicode font
    Font fontWingdings = new Font( "Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 25);
          // use integer number and convert into equivalent character
          // e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
          // notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value
          int i = 65;
          char c = (char)i;
          System.out.println( new Character(c).toString() );
          JLabel jlbl = new JLabel();
          jlbl.setFont(fontSymbol);
          jlbl.setText( new Character(c).toString() );1) I can't display any Wingdings font , any expert can help on this?
2) what is the difference between 0021(character code for Arial font) and 0x21(character code for Wingdings font) shown in character map?

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
Your other questions:
0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
0x270F (PENCIL)
0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

John O'Conner
