Non fixed font wth FileWriter

Why do some locales produce a non-fixed font type
character output when using FileWriter?
I know the charset is chosen based on the locale setting, but
I couldn't seem to affect the font style by forcing a
charset.
I'm trying to ensure that changing the locale on a workstation does
not change the formatting of my application's reports.
Thanks

They don't. A FileWriter just writes characters to a file. It knows nothing about fonts and cares nothing about fonts. Fonts are only used to display data on a screen or on paper. So if you are seeing different fonts used in different locales, it has something to do with whatever you are using to display the data, and nothing to do with the FileWriter.

Fix non-embedded fonts for USPTO filing

Hi,
The United States Patent and Trademark Office does not allow submission of PDF files with non-embedded fonts.
I know how to create documents from Word, etc. that comply with this requirement, but I frequently get PDFs from other sources that do not have all their fonts embedded, especially the asian fonts.
I know that one possible fix is to print the existing PDF as a PDF image. However, when I do this my file size becomes MUCH larger than the original. Re-printing to PDF seems like a very kludgy fix. Another very iffy fix I've used for large PDFs is to print the PDF document on paper and just scan it with our office scanner, which will keep the file size small but is a waste of time and paper.
Is there no better way to deal with the issue of non-embedded fonts?

Need Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended -
Advanced > Preflight
In the Preflight dialog, open the "Options" drop-down menu and select "Create New Preflight Profile".
Give the new profile a name & save it.
In the dialog, at the left you'll see your new profile.
Locate and click on "Fixups" (2nd from bottom).
Over to the right, over the listing of fixups that appears, there is a find/search field.
Enter "embed" (the first three letters will do).
Two fixups are available.
--| Embed Fonts
--| Embed Fonts (even if text is invisible)
Select one. Under the fixup list there is an arrow pointed to the left. Click it. The center pane will display the selected fixup.
Click Save then OK.
The profile is available for use.
A Batch Sequence could be made that uses this Preflight profile to permit processing many PDFs at "one go".
[If you do not want to DIY, then use the "out of the box" profile located in the PDF fixups Group.
Both "Embed" profiles are there.]
Be well...

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

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-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

Fixed / non-fixed storage in one storage type

Hi,
Within our warehouse we have one area with fixed locations for some products, other products not. No clear physical separation can be made.
Is it possible to create one(!) storage type in which fixed and non-fixed can be stored while using one putaway strategy. If so, how to set this up?
Thanks!

Hi,
Point is that we want to keep the warehouse as flexible as possible. By using storage sections you still have to assign bin locations to a specific section.
Within a range of 300 bins we might only want to use bin 20, 35 and 231 as fixed. In the future we might want to use bin 22 as well for a specific article. Based on your suggestion of using sections we have to assign bin 20, 35, 231 and 22 to a specific section. Correct?
Based on your suggestion; is the storage type putaway strategy "F" (Fixed) or "L" (First empty bin)?
Thanks, Roel
PS Somehow I logged in as someone else, therefor the reply as if I was the one of the first post...

Non web fonts in html sites

I have been seeing a lot of non web fonts in html sites and am wondering how that commonly is done.
I have used sIFR and I thought it was OK, but would love to find some other ways.
What is the most common solution for this? What else is out there?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

A few bloggers have posted pro/con comparisons of these techniques:

Removing Non-System Fonts

Hello,
I have messy fonts folders, too full.
I want to remove non-essential fonts and start again.
How can I best accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Lawrence.

"too full" for what?
This kind of exercise can be interesting - perhaps more interesting than you want. It will take time to figure out exactly which fonts you can get rid of. And you will most likely make mistakes and some applications will look strange or in worst case not start at all afterwards.

Non supported fonts, how to finnd and replace them

After opening my book in the new IBA version it found non-supported fonts . But how to find them easily and change it by hand?

The new iBA is supposed to embed such fonts so that it doesn't matter whether iOS supports them or not. Have you tried publishing your book and viewing it on an iOS device to see whether your fonts are displayed?

Is it possible to mix italic and non-italic fonts in an axis label?

Is it possible to mix italic and non-italic fonts in an axis label in diadem reports?

No, there is no chance to do this.
You can only use the "Textobjekt" to mix italic and non-italic fonts.
Thanks

Non-Adobe fonts: compatible?

I have a client who uses an InDesign template for which the font is AkzidenzGroteskBQ-Reg (and variations of the font family). Adobe.com has never heard of it. Obviously my client has made it work with his copy of InDesign (I'm submitting a list of questions about the font to him), but what problems might I have installing it for Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I'd like the font family to be available across CS3 and Windows VISTA for PC.
Sue

Sue,
Akzidenz Grotesk as a font goes back to the turn of the previous century and is a Helvetica forerunner. It is a Berthold foundry font, available for purchase from http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/berthold/akzidenz-grotesk-bq/regular/opentype-ps/329304
Note that your client cannot legally give you a copy of the font for installation on your computers, as it is protected intellectual property, much as InDesign is.
Yes, it is OpenType format, compatible with your Adobe applications on both Macs and Windows machines. Most non-Adobe fonts, as long as they are properly engineered and designed for your computer platform (OpenType fonts are bi-platform), are compatible with your system and the typical applications you use.
