Outline Fonts do not cut through tint panel underneath

Having completed the migration for our publication from ClarisWorks - which was just fine for 13 years - through AppleWorks (WEEPINGLY unrobust and erratic) to Pages, we now find that headlines set in Outline mode and positioned above a tinted panel,
*do not cut through the tint underneath*
and therefore those headlines look grey, instead of outlined white.
ClarisWorks outline fonts did, and splendidly. Even <spit> AppleWorks did. Pages, however, does not.
An Outline font should show the character in white, with a black outline. The white character should stay white when set over the top of a grey tinted panel.
The Editor is not happy about this. He is now wasting precious time in trying to make it work as it did using previous s/w.
Is there any way of making it work correctly? Or is the official line, with Pages, to just give up on outline font headlines and very very reluctantly change the design and go for solid black?
Many thanks

To fill text with color, gradient, or image – with or without outline
In Pages, create text. Large and heavy. (About 72 pt.) Then: Print > Open PDF in Preview. Crop. (Not too tightly.) Save as PNG.(To Desktop.) Drag PNG into Pages.
Insert square shape. Drag and re-shape so that it is slightly larger than text. Then: Graphic Inspector > Fill > Color or Gradient.
Follow same procedure if you want an image instead of color or gradient.
Drag shape or image to cover text, send backward behind text (If edge of fill color shows, select and reduce size.). Select text. Select Instant Aplha. Click inside each letter.
To make text background transparent, Select All > Group, then Print > Open PDF in Preview. Crop. Save as PNG.(To Desktop.) Drag PNG into Pages. Apply Instant Alpha outside text.
For an outline or shadow, apply Stroke and/or Shadow at this point. (Use Graphic Inspector.)
Select text and drag corner to enlarge or reduce. To change only height or width: Metrics Inspector > uncheck Constrain proportions.

Font Title Not Displaying in Character Panel Font Menu

Just updated to OS X Yosemite and noticed that the font titles don't display in the Character Panel > Font Menu. However, they do display when rolled over with the cursor. This is only happening in Illustrator. All other Adobe apps are correctly displaying font titles. Anyone else having this problem?
Using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 / Mac OS X Yosemite

fonts, björn, scott,
Unless three step reinstallation helps, you may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone.

My fonts are not visible in character panel in Illustrator 5

Hi
Its kind of hard to explain. The fonts are there but I cannot see them on the list unless I roll my mouse over them.
I want to reinstall the entire program but I wanted to know if anyone else has this problem.
I also want to upgrade but can't until next month.
I don't know if Extentis is causing any of the problem. I am currently running version 5.
I am also on Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1

rose,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6854594#6854594
It has been described on this Adobe page:
http://capitalmacservice.com/font-preview-working-illustrator-cs-5-yosemite-fix/
It may also depend on the monitor, as it appears from post #29 by Loncar in the same thread.
Obviously, this also influences some other things so there may be a downside to it.
Edit: hi Dov. Soon it may be just you and I here.

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Are you referring to an icon that looks like a monitor and has the word exec in green on it? If so, that's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this file is".
I'm guessing you're trying to use an incompete Type 1 PostScript font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol

AGarReg

The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Font Will Not Install

I work for a catalog company and we use the Adobe CS3 suite. After a machine meltdown I had to reinstall my system OS and Tiger Upgrade. After doing so and running one of my catalog pages in indesign I received a ton of missing font errors. While I was able to go to the archives and load some of these fonts, others that We have used in the past(and they have to be used because they are used for product titles) will not install. I open font book and click on add fonts, but when I navigate to the folder that has the font i need(transfered from a server to my hard drive) that font is ghosted out to where i can not select it. One Example is Eurostile Bold Oblique
thanks
DF

I'm guessing your example of Eurostile Bold Oblique is a printer outline font from a Type 1 PostScript font. If so, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

I create an enterprise project template in Project Professional but when I go to create a project in PWA the formattting does not carry through to the project

Hi
Project Server 2010
I created an enterprise template in Project Professional and formatted it and set the font to Gill Sans MT, I then pointed the Project type to this project template.
When I created the new project type in PWA the formatting and font did not carry through to the new project.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
Kind regards
M

Do you find that if you create a project in project professional using a template and then save it the formatting is shown OK? So you only see this problem when you are creating the project from PWA and the plan template is picked up via the Enterprise Project
Type?

Fonts are not reflecting while running Java Applet Through Forms

Hello Oralce Gurus!!
I have a Java Applet which has few lines of text in different
fonts such as AgencyFB, Verdana Ref etc., When I am running this
applet from console, I am able to see the text in different
fonts. Where as If I run the applet through forms (as a Bean
(ViewerBean) ), the fonts are not reflected. The text appears in
a default font.
All the fonts are installed on WinNT, where the applet resides.
I will be greatful if anyone can suggest me a solution.
Thanks,
Raghu

try out this
ImageIcon img1=new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(imagename));
for exmaple
Imageicon img1=new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("name1.jpg"));
dont 4get to include the image files in the jar file

External Fonts not loading properly in panels & buttons, works fine in labels / edits - help!

Hey guys,
I'm new to developing in Flex, so please excuse any
ignorance.
I followed the basic tutorial to use Flex to import external
fonts... here's my CSS code:
@font-face {
src: url(components/fonts.swf);
fontFamily: "Blue Moon";
global
color: #000000;
fontFamily: "Blue Moon";
fontSize:20px;
Here's what's happening:
1) On my development machine, I have the "Blue Moon" font
installed. Everything works fine here - I see the Blue Moon font on
everything in my project, from the titles of Panels to Buttons, and
so on. Everything's great.
2) On all other machines, which do NOT have the Blue Moon
font installed, I see the Blue Moon font properly on the labels and
edit boxes, but NOT on the buttons or on the title areas of panels.
Here is my site, so you can see what I mean:
http://thedemenscycle.com/
Assuming you don't own the Blue Moon font, you should notice
that the panel titles are a default font, where the "Username" and
"Password" and edit box fields are the Blue Moon font.
I am forced to conclude that for whatever reason my code is
not applying the externally imported font to the panels and buttons
for whatever reason. But it DOES apply the local font on the
machine, if availible. I'm really quite confused.
Any insight / help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I had this same problem, ended up just droping the fonts,
would be nice to see an official response to this issue.

Fonts are not showing properly when opened through mail?

When sending a PDF via email the Frutiger font does not appear properly on an iPad or iPhone. When viewed on an iPhone all the text appears as gradient boxes and when viewing on an iPad font becomes too light to be legible. Is this a problem with the font in the iOS platform? I also tried opening the file in iBooks and got the same outcome.

Does disabling hardware acceleration have a positive effect or is it still happening?

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

Hi, I have big problems since 2 weeks with outline, fonts, size in Ai CS6 : Numerical value are so big

Hi, I have big problems since 2 weeks with outline, fonts, size in Ai CS6 : Numerical value are so big and I can't change it with smaller. Apparently Ai said me that comes from AiPrefs... Could you help me please.
I tried to initialize my preferences but nothing change.

Pierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How do get outlined fonts to show up in a PDF

I have created a document in InDesign CS4 using a placed Illustrator CS4 file that includes a logo created with outlined fonts. I get the warningj message "The preset specifies that some fonts are not embedded. This application always imbeds fonts." in the Export Adobe PDF dialogue. The outlined text / logo is not visable in the PDF. The same document with the same link works fine in InDesign CS.

AaHa, the outlined element is not visible in ID in Overprint Preview. Is that the same as Preview Mode? It is on top of a placed Photoshop image that uses transparency (Multiply). This element was previously a white EPS file created in Illustrator on a MAC ten years ago and I converted it to an AI CS4 file in Windows 7 and then filled with PMS 4485.
Checking and un-checking Overprint Fill in AI's Attributes Panel makes no difference; Stroke Fill is checked, but grayed out?
Thanks.

Clearing 'search single location' and 'preview fonts with clip cut in

When reconnecting media, you can add a search location - how do you clear this search tool if the folders aren't valid anymore
in photoshop and after effects, u can preview the font after its cut into the sequence - how can u preview the font in final cut pro?
Thanks
Craig

hey andy
thanks for the search folder note - got it
also, what i meant about the fonts was that i know where to change it, but can i scroll through the fonts with the text already cut into a sequence? Now, u have to pick a font, check it, pick a font, check it
in photoshop, u can just scroll through all the fonts while the text window is open and see all the variations in fonts as u scroll down the list
is here a shortcut like SHIFT/SCROLL - hold mouse down, something like that?
thanks again
crag

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
Thanks,
-flash

Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
they can be the usual suspects.
Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
Good luck, let us know how you fare.
