OpenType in OS 9

Is there any way to use OpenType fonts with OS 9?

That'll work, if you're using ATM Light 4.6 or higher. If you're using ATM Deluxe (4.6+), you can activate them just like any other fonts.
Installation and system requirements are covered in the OpenType User Guide (PDF), and app compatibility and the like is in the OpenType readme (HTML). See http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype for links to these docs.

  • How to embed an OpenType font in Beta 2?

    Hi Folks
    I'm trying to embed an OpenType font into a Flash Builder Beta 2 project and haven't been successful yet.
    What I've tried so far:
    1. changing the order of the font managers in the flex-config.xml file, to put the one that handles OpenType first:
    <manager-class>flash.fonts.AFEFontManager</manager-class>
    2. in the .css file for the main mxml file, changing   embedAsCFF: true;  to embedAsCFF: false;
    3. embedding the font using a .swf file containing the font made in Flash CS3, and referencing that in the .css file
    4. embedding the font in <fx:Script/> using [embed]. Got an error message on the src line (Embed is only supported on classes and member variables.)
    [Embed(source="/Library/Fonts/CalliopeMVBStdRg.otf",
             fontStyle = 'normal',
             fontName='Calliope MVB Std Regular',
             mimeType='application/x-font',
             embedAsCFF="true")]
    Any ideas on what my mistake is?
    Thanks for your attention
    Kearney Buskirk

    It should just work in CSS with @font-face.  What error did you get?
            @font-face
    When you tried #4 did you add the in front of a member variable?
    [Embed(source="/Library/Fonts/CalliopeMVBStdRg.otf",
             fontStyle = 'normal',
             fontName='Calliope MVB Std Regular',
             mimeType='application/x-font',
             embedAsCFF="true")]
    public static var CalliopeRegular:Class;

  • Font licensing and EULA: Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition

    Hi all,
    I'm not necesarilly working with graphic design daily. However, I may have to replicate a design for a publication that uses Adobe Garamond Pro, which is why I got interested in Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition.
    However, before I shell out the cash, I'd like to ask a few questions about related EULA's and font licensing issues - as the last thing I want to do is buy something, and then end up sued/financially destroyed/imprisoned anyways. (which is why I prefer with open fonts & software - at least no worries about prison, in case of misunderstanding the legalese)
    So, here are the questions:
    I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose? Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.
    Macintosh can use OpenType, Mac Type1, Mac TrueType, and Win TrueType. Adobe products can read some Windows Type 1 fonts if installed in the correct folder.
    Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.... so just to make sure: I would definitely download the OpenType if I buy from the above  Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition link, right?
    Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it. Thus, I'd be interested in re-donwloading the Adobe Type Basics package. So is this package a zip file or similar, if so - how big is it? Can I download the file multiple times after purchase? Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
    I may have to do (in a role of page layouter for an academic institution) a document for a relatively big academic publisher (Springer); and I have little idea about how font licensing works there. Let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the publisher for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? I'm worried because I found in Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:As I understand it, print service providers are required by the font EULA to own the font even though the customer provides it.
    I suggest you ask your customer to purchase the modern OpenType versions of the fonts. ... but then, Springer are "publishers", not "printers"? How worried should I be about this? Should I ask for confirmation in writing from them, that they own the particular embedded font? Then again, since in this case I'd be working for an academic institution as page layouter, should the academic institution also buy the font? If the academic institution already owns the font, am I legally obliged to own it as a page layouter (even if I'd use that font on the institutions computers with licensed fonts on them)? I'm pretty sure I'd be legally obliged to own it if I intend to prepare the layout on my own computer, is that correct?
    The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
    Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above). So, in this case, again the same situation: let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?

    Well, I believe this is all I have for asking (for now) - thanks in advance for any answers!

    If you want Adobe Type Basics OpenType edition, then the fonts support multiple platforms.  OpenType fonts work on Mac, Win and Linux systems.
    Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format.

    Yes, the Adobe Type Basics Open Type Edition would provide you with OpenType versions of the fonts.  Sorry that we don’t offer all the different fonts, font families and variations on CD-ROM, but it would be cost-prohibitive to make all those versions, and font software is relatively small compared to application software.  That said, Our font EULA (End User License Agreement) which can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/pdfs/wf_EULA071111/EULA5seat_USEnglish07.11.11.htm l states: “2.5 Backup Copy. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.” So you can make your own CD-ROM.
    Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it.

Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
    The file format is OpenType (CFF).  I would recommend making a backup copy of these fonts if you don’t want to keep them on your system.  Our Electronic Software Download service is not meant to be used for storage.

    Wow!  Lots of questions here.  First of all, publishers publish.  Printing is just one form of publishing.  Embedding information for Adobe fonts can be found at the following:
    http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/additional_licenses.html
    http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/info/embedding.html
    If you send a file to a print service provider and send a copy of the font along as well, then the printer needs to own a valid copy themselves.  If you send the print service provider a PDF version of the file, then you can embed the font in the PDF (but you would not send the a raw version of the font).  In this case, the printer doesn’t need the font, because it is embedded in the document.
    The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
    If you buy a license for Adobe Garamond Pro, you have up to 5 seats.  So, it can be installed on a maximum of five computers at your company.  It is that simple to be in compliance.  If you were to obtain Adobe Garamond  Pro by purchasing Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition, then you can install the entire set on up to five computers at your company.  You are licensing the set, and the fonts cannot be split up and used across multiple users at your company.
    Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above).

Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
    Yes.  It is legal to send the document to a print service provider with the font embedded in PDF.  You are printing a document, and your interpretation of what it means to “publish” or be a “publisher” is not relevant.  The words don’t even appear in our EULA.

  • OpenType font won't work in PDF created from PM 7.0.1a file

    Per my client's request, I had to purchase a lovely new OpenType font, AJenson Pro, for a book project I'm paging using PageMaker 7.0.1a in Windows XP. First it wouldn't print on my postscript HP laser printer, but downloading an updated printer driver from the HP web site easily fixed that problem. But I have done everything I can think of and I can't get the new font to appear in a .pdf created using Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5, which came bundled with PageMaker.
    The font shows up in the finished .pdf as boxes with X marks in them instead of letters! I'm not trying to use anything but standard characters (no glyphs, etc.) in the font. I've been using PageMaker and creating .pdf files in Acrobat Distiller 5.0 for years and have had no problems until I got this new font. Adobe Type Manager shows that it is installed and it looks great on the screen.
    I purchased the entire AJenson Pro font family from MyFonts.com, so I have bold, bold ital, etc. Their technical support couldn't suggest anything I hadn't already tried.
    I'm planning on upgrading my PageMaker to InDesign soon, but I'll need a new computer to meet the minimum system requirements so I've been putting it off. I'm afraid to even download the free 30-day trial on my older computer. Any suggestions on how to get this OpenType font to work in a .pdf created using PM 7.0.1a and Acrobat Distiller 5.0, or do I have to upgrade to InDesign right away? I need to be able to create a .pdf so I can e-mail proofs to my client and eventually to send the finished book to a commercial printer. Thanks!

    I have had this same problem myself with most Open Type fonts. It's very irritating, because it seems like most of the new fonts are being issued exclusively in Open Type.
    I have developed a work-around, which you can attempt at your own risk.
    Purchase the software FontCreator (I use FontCreator 5.6 Home Edition). It's not very expensive.
    Open the problem font in FontCreator, and save it with a different name. In the process of saving it, the font will be converted to a TrueType font. Install the new version of the font. In my experience, you can then successfully use the font in Pagemaker, and convert it to a pdf.
    This is not a perfect solution because there will be a *very* slight diminishment in the crispness of the lines of the font -- but this is only visible when the font is magnified to something like 6400% in Acrobat. It is not visible to the naked eye, or at least not to my naked eye.

  • How do I change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document?

    Greetings, Community. It would be great if I could discover how to change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document. That's the simple question.
    To be more exact, I have an 18-page play that contains stage directions in caps in parentheses, which I would like to change to small caps. The font I'm using is an OpenType, Minion Pro, with small caps.
    Another thing is, I'd ideally like to be able to do that without changing all caps in the document, and also, to not have to convert the caps to lower case in order to do it.
    My source document (which I Placed in my InDesign document) is Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac.
    I did go to Microsoft to find out how to do it in Word, but could only find a solution for Word for Windows.
    I did try their solution anyhow (a macro) but it didn't work.
         Thanks a lot. It's great being in InDesign even though I had my good years with QuarkXpress, which eventually became impossible for me.

  • Opening a Mac/PostScript document in PC/OpenType environment

    I receive documents created on a Mac with PostScript fonts. When I open the document on my PC, InDesign lists the missing fonts becasue they are not installed on my computer.
    These same fonts are currently only available in OpenType format.
    If I purchase the missing fonts (OpenType format), will I be able to open the files produced with Mac/PostScript in my PC/OpenType environment and have InDesign automatically substitute the equivalent OpenType fonts for the original PostSCript fonts?
    More importantly, when I print out the document from my PC (or create a PDF), will it look identical to the original document produced in the Mac/PostScript environment?
    Regards.
    Kevin

    OK. But I notice that the list of missing fonts does not specify either PostScript or OpenType. All it says is that I am missing (for example): Mercury Text G3 SC
    So, as I understand your reply, InDesign will not substitute Mercury Text G3 SC (OpenType) installed on my computer for the Mercury Text G3 SC specified in the document because the original document used PostScript fonts?
    Is there a way to force InDesign to use my installed OpenType Mercury Text G3 SC wherever the same font name is specified in the document?
    Assuming the substitution is possible, will it look identical? I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether or not the OpenType format of Mercury Text G3 SC will be visually indistinguishable from PostScript Mercury Text G3 SC.

  • Can I embed OpenType fonts in Flash CS 5.5?

    I just reopened an old-ish Flash project and the fonts aren't working. The project was worked on previously in CS 3 or 4 - don't recall - on a Mac running some earlier version of OS X. I'm currently running Lion and Flash CS 5.5, and some of the fonts aren't embedding or rendering. The project is using Postscript fonts.
    I thought I read that TrueType fonts are more reliable, but the font I need (Akzidenz Grotesk) is not available in TrueType, only OpenType.
    Am I safe to buy and use this in OpenType format? It's several hundred dollars so want to be sure before blowing the money. I think I'm looking at this version, which seems to be the smallest/cheapest I can get away with: http://www.linotype.com/265010/AkzidenzGroteskStdValuePack-product.html
    Thanks!

    Thanks. I'm actually using the Font Embedding panel in Flash. Seems to be working though I can't get any of the variations to work.
    I create a new font in the Font Embedding panel, choose my font and weight (trying Myriad Pro and Myriad Pro Italic), export for actionscript (AS classes fontNormal1 and fontItalic1).
    Then in the class where I do my formatting, up top I have:
    private var fontNormalFont1:String = 'Myriad Pro';
    private var fontItalicFont1:String = 'Myriad Pro Italic';
    In my constructor I have:
    Font.registerFont(fontNormal1);
    Font.registerFont(fontItalic1);
    Then I create my text format:
    fmtMainTitle:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    fmtMainTitle.color = 0xffffff;
    fmtMainTitle.font = fontNormalFont1;
    fmtMainTitle.size = 18;
    Which I subsequently apply to text fields (including an embed font directive). It works great if my font is fontNormalFont1, but if I try fontItalicFont1 it comes up blank - no text appears.
    I tried creating an instance of the AS class for the italic font, and getting the font name:
    fontItalicInst:Font = new fontItalic1();
    trace(fontItalicInst.fontName);
    And I get back "Myriad Pro" - in other words it's only returning the base font name, not the full name.
    I'm pretty rusty at AS/Flash, and fonts were never my strong suit, so I could be doing all the the wrong way. I do need to have fonts available in CSS, which could be why I'm registering the fonts (it's been a few years since I built this app).
    Would appreciate any advice
    - Bob

  • Problem with Ligatures / OpenType features...

    Hi, I am writing a book using an OpenType font and encountering some problems.
    Note - if pics don't show up below, click and they'll "enlarge" and appear.
    This type of font has alternates, which can be edited using the "Typography Panel" as shown here:
    OpenType fonts, such as Zapfino, have alternate characters. Here's the default settings for this font:
    Here's what it looks like when you change the Typography settings...
    The changes look fine in iBooks Author, but when I sync them to iBooks on the iPad OR on the Mac, the fonts revert back to their original settings (with different character shapes). I believe this problem just started, and it is messing up my layout a great deal!
    When the book transfers to the iPad, it looks fine while the "loading..." screen is there. But as soon as the loading is done, the fonts jump from the chosen "Typography" setting to the default. This happens with downloaded OpenType fonts as well as pre-installed ones from Apple. It also occurs even when I am starting a fresh book from a template, so I don't think my file is corrupt. Any idea what I can do to help?
    Thank you,
    Stephen

    Tom, thank you for taking the time to check whether this works for you. I could have sworn it was working on my projects as recently as a few weeks ago, but perhaps I just didn't notice that when previewing the book on the iPad it was reverting to standard lettering.
    I'm not using Zapfino in the book, but I knew it would be a good example since it is a default font. I was under the impression that iBooks supported OpenType features because they allow selection of special typography features  in iBooks Author, those features display in iBooks Author, and there's some mention of turning on/off ligatures at this support site iBooks Author: Change text font, size, color, alignment, and spacing (see 2nd to last paragraph) ... ligatures being in the same panel as the other options.
    However, if it doesn't work for you and doesn't work for me... it probably just doesn't work!
    Thank you again for looking into this with me

  • OpenType Glyphs

    Hi, I have a problem with my Glyphs in Pages. They show in Special Characters, but they don't actually end up on a page. What's up with that?? What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    A little warning message comes up at the bottom saying that this is a glyph variant, but it doesn't say how to get around this. I just want a way to get certain ligatures that happen to be glyph variants. Any ideas?
    TrueType simple does not support substitution (for reshaping, reordering). In other words, no glyph variants, only simple one character to one glyph shaping in the CMAP Character Map. Apple's extensions to TrueType (marketed as GX, TrueType 2, Apple Advanced Typography) and Microsoft's extensions to TrueType (marketed as TrueType Open, OpenType) support glyph variants (for reshaping, reordering).
    Apple introduced a hack for direct drawing of glyph variants in the Apple Glyph Access Protocol for SFNT-housed font data (TrueType simple, AAT, OT). The hack lets you open the Glyph Catalogue in the Character Palette, insert your cursor in your copy, and click a GID Glyph Identifier or click Insert with Font for a glyph variant that is not drawn by a character code in the CMAP; glyphs drawn from characters in the CMAP have UTF16 and UTF8 short character identifiers as well as a GID.
    One would like to think that Apple's text group correctly inserted both the character information and the imageable composition, but Apple's text group inserts REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (UTF16 FFFD, UTF8 EF BF BD) instead of decomposing the Glyph Identifier into the input of character information and then inserting the input of character information. So, using the Glyph Catalogue chaotifies the input of character information.
    Adobe and Microsoft have a somewhat similar problem. In developing TrueType Open and OpenType, it was decided that application software should be able to override the drawing intents (feature selectors, rendering intents) defined in the intelligent font model. Since font software creators want to guarantee that font software customers can draw the glyphs they have paid for, Adobe and Heidelberg went on to provide PUA Private Use Area drawing for glyph variants.
    This mess has been elevated to standards tracks as well as to the European Federation of National Institutions for Language which reports to Members States and to the Commission.

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\LanguagePack\OpenType

    Can I delete the key as below?
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\LanguagePack\OpenType
    At Windows XP,if I want to run my application,I have to delete the key.But at Windows 7,when I delete the key,notepad.exe can't work.
    Please tell me the use of the key?Many thanks.
    By the way,
    Opening notepad is no problem,but when I input something,there is error dialog with the message of "notepad is stopped,please end it or debug it"
    The application I run is a VC++ program that was developped by visual stuido.Because my application uses peculiar font,without deleting the key,when I run my application,　a ruled line　can't be displayed rightly.That is to say,I got messy code.Would you please tell me how can I use my font without messy code?Many thanks.

    i believe that's the font that notepad uses. i wonder whether using the instructions above if you could change the font.

  • Opentype Feature Bug in InDesign CS6 until CC14.2

    Hi,
    my name is Sami Mandelbaum and I am doing a Hebrew font with a simple opentype feature (final position)
    Hebrew has 5 letters that changed format when they are the last letter of the word (in the left, hebrew is a RTL language)
    I am doing the the programation in microsoft VOLT and is very simple:
    When the letters כמנפצ are followed by general pontuation (space, comma, period, collon and others) they become ךםןףץ.
    The VOLT compilation works perfectly.
    It works perfectly when I have tested in text viewer from DTL OTMaster 5.
    It works perfectly in Indesign CS3-ME and CS4-ME.
    In Indesign CS6, CC, CC14 and CC14.2 everything works except when it is followed by comma.
    I tried everything but it does not work with comma at all.
    Comma is a neutral unicode character like period and others and it should work.
    I have experience in programming opentype features and workarounds but this time I'm stuck.
    Could anyone confirm this bug, please?

    Buttons don't work in DPS the same way they work in PDF. Specifically, the Show/Hide Buttons action is not supported. There are show/hide workarounds that involve combining buttons with multi-state objects, even if the multi-state object is invisible. For details, see the Overlay Basics issue of the free DPS Tips app.

  • CR XI R2, Crystal Report Viewer Opentype Font not supported

    Hi
    For my reporting I selected an OpenType Font. But with my crystal version it doesnu2019t work. My Crystal version is
    CR XI R2 Servicepack 3.
    In the Crystal Report designer, I can select the OpenType Font but with the viewer it doesn't work. I saw in the release notes (2008 and XI) that only TrueType und Postscript fonts are supported.
    Can you tell me, in wich version that OpenType Font will be supported?
    Thanks a lot.
    Pius

    I find it hard to believe Crystal doesn't support OpenType fonts as I am told by my design group that OpenType fonts are a "superior, widely-supported format".  I am finding this limitation very frustrating as my organization has a specific set of OpenType fonts that we are expected to use for branding purposes, but I can't use them in my reports!  And I can't find TrueType versions of the fonts, so I am forced to use other fonts and end up with a very different end product.
    Please reconsider!
    Thank you.

  • Indian language - Gujarati OpenType font problem

    Hi All,
    I  have designed a Gujarati opentype font using Fontographer 4 on a  macintosh machine, version 10.5.8, generated a TTF file of it and wrote  the tables for that font using VOLT on a Windows machine. When I test  the font in notepad, word on windows or openoffice in Linux, no  positioning or substitution tables appear. But all these rules are  working well when tested in the proofing tool of VOLT.
    Can  anyone please tell why is could be happening? Am I missing some thing in  the process?
    Thanks so much.

    Dear Hunt,
    Am little bit confused after reading your reply.As jui mentioend she have designed the font using fontographer and wrote the tables by using VOLT (in windows)
    So whether rendering engine is necesary for the fonotgrapher, as per my knowledge fontographer lets to design, edit, and manipulate fonts(Pls correct me if am wrong).And all the posiitoning and tabling happens in Windows by using volt, where bydefault uniscribe support is there.
    Pls clarify this.Also If it's the issue is any convertion tool is avialable for converting the font from MAC to Windows.Or wil it possible to do by fontographer or volt.
    And if we ported this font to fontforge, with the Pango or ICU backend support( in Linux), whether this issue will resolve ?
    PS:Am just a beginer in this domain,starts learing with jui.So pls apologise me if am wrong.

  • Mapping Adobe Font lib fonts to Opentype fonts

    I have a customer that has been using Font Folio on a MacOS 9. Now they are converting to PC and want to use opentype instead. They have bought the library package for Opentype.
    Is there anywhere a listing of mappings of fontnames from the old library into the new font names on the opentype?
    Or are all fonts named the same?

    All the fonts are named slightly differently, so that the two can co-exist. There is no listing of mappings available yet, but we (well, Nicole and I) have recently compiled one and are preparing to make it available shortly. It just needs some formatting and explanations written up.
    If you check back in a couple of weeks, we may have a pointer for you.
