Reader V8 problem with embedded font

Hello,
I'm having problems opening in Reader V8 the PDF file located at http://www.itech.ca/otf-cff.pdf . The file opens correctly in previous versions of acrobat. AR 4 5 6 7. It complains about the embedded font. Can anyone help me identify the reason why the font cannot be extracted ? Is there anything wrong in the PDF file when describing the font, or it's the way I'm generating the embedded font ? Is there any tool I can use to help me debug this ? Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Rabih,
Please repost in the Reader forum. This forum is for pdf specification
issues. Usually, the problems you are having are due to each successive
version of Acrobat adhering to standards more strictly. A pdf with a
problemsome font Acrobat or Reader might have tried to render the pdf
and hope for the best. Now it may reject the pdf.

Problems with embedded font with medium or heavy weight

Hey guys,
I'm switching a current Project from Flashbuilder Beta2 to the Flashbuilder final release.
I have a big problem concerning embedded fonts. The fonts I have to use are Futura Com Medium & Futura Com Heavy.
Here's some of my code:
@font-face
     src:                        url("assets/fonts/FuturaCom-Medium.ttf");
     font-weight:               normal;
     fontFamily:                 myFuturaMedium;
     advancedAntiAliasing:       true;
     embedAsCff:                 false;
.myDatagrid{
     fontFamily: myFuturaMedium;
     color: #ff0000;
this worked well in beta2, but I'm not able to get the embedded Font working in the datagrid with the Flashbuilder final release.
Any help on using embedded fonts in a mx|Datagrid is highly aprechiated.

Problem with embedding fonts in Illustrator CS5

I have just installed Illustrator CS5, and have tested creating a PDF document based on one of my existing files, as well as a new file.
When I open these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am told that Acrobat cannot access one of the embedded fonts (Korinna BT).
I have had no issues with embedding this font in Illustrator CS4, and (strangely), when I open these files in other PDF viewers (Preview and PDFPenPro), they report no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have removed and reinstalled the font in question, and tested/verified that the font is OK - but still not joy.
Regards
Jeremy

The error message I get is:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'MVZTIW+KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I check the fonts in the PDF in "Document Properties" in Adobe Acrobat the following is shown:
"KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Ansi
     Actual Font: Adobe Serif MM
     Actual Font Type: Type 1"
It seems that Illustrator is adding some strange "code" ('MVZTIW') to the beginning of the font, which means the actual font can't be found and extracted.

Problems with Embedded Font MS PGothic

Hello,
After editing a document in Japanese, some characters will not show up. Normally i would attribute this to a missing font pack, but after reinstalling the Japanese font pack on the computer, we strill get the error message:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'RNUQGV+MSPGothic-WinCharSetFFFF-H'"
Some characters may not display or print correctly.
We create the file with MS Word, and in word we have no problems. It is only after using PDF-Server to create the files does this become a problem. Other Japanese fonts do no seem to have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Problem with embedded fonts

Downloading pdf files from the web.
Cannot extract the embedded font - does not display properly, does not print. Also sometimes get out of memory

The wording extract is a question. Are you trying to copy the information? That may not be possible and may also be done on purpose by your bank or other company so that you can not copy the information. With Reader there is not much you can do. Either is displays correctly or not. The only option you have is to find the font, download it, and install it. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find the correct font as many fonts have the same names, but are not compatible.
So apparently these PDFs are being sent to you by these companies. Do they appear correct when viewing them in Reader? If so, you can probably print them by printing as a graphic.

Problems with embedded font on spark RichText control

« Hide
I have an embedded font that appears correctly when used with Halo components, but when associated with the spark RichText component, it is not recognized.
The embedded font is defined in css file, my css file
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily:"Helvetica Neue";
fontWeight: bold;
global{
color:#333333;
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
fontSize:12px;
The embedded font it used in the following manner:
<mx:Label styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
<s:Group width="410" x="38" y="52" height="50">
<s:RichText styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" fontFamily="Helvetica Neue" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
</s:Group>
The Label shows the embedded font correctly while the RichText control does not. It does not matter if the fontFamily is specified explicitly on the control or not.
I created a bug SDK-22137, but since I'd need to get this working soon any help would be appreciated.

Just a friendly reminder. Many of the examples on that site are fairly old and havent been updated to use the latest APIs. For example, "cff" has recently been renamed to "embedAsCFF". In fact, here's a better example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Also, depending on what you're trying to do, this may help you: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/06/14/using-a-cff-embedded-font-with-a-halo-label-contro l-in-flex-4/. Basically, you can set the textFieldClass style on certain Halo controls and have them use the mx.core.UITLFTextFieldClass (instead of the default mx.core.UITextFieldClass) so they can take advantage of the new CFF fonts.
In fact, here's the same example as above, but with the single embedded font:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

PDF export - problem with embedded font

Dear all,
I refer to a problem which was already discussed [here|Export to PDF wrong font;. I was asked to start a new thread and provide further information. Here we are...
The issue is nearly the same:
- We have a solution which both has a WinForms and an .aspx UI.
- We have a report, used in both solutions.
- The WinForms solution uses the Crystal Viewer to preview and print and export and so on.
- The web solution creates a PDF file and prompts to open or save. In this PDF, the font is substituted with Arial. This is actually the concrete problem.
1) Version of CR
on MY machine (MAYBE different on production environment, I have to check this):
Crystal Reports 10 (10.0.0.53327)
Crystal Reports Basic Runtime forVisual Studio 2008 (10.5.0.0)
Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit) (13.0.0.99)
Crystal Reports , version for Visual Studio 2010 (13.0.0.99)
2) CR Service Packs installed
Nope.
3) web / win app?
Both, see description above.
4) Is this happening on dev or deployed system?
On deployed system. It ONLY affects the web solution on the server, which is a Win7 64bit. My developement machine also is a Win7 64bit, it works on this device. On a colleagues machine (WinXP) it works, too.
5) What is the actual font?
The Font was exclusively developed for the customer by a designer, but it is fully embeddable (I already checked this).
6) Link to a screen shot that shows the issue
I do not know whether this really helps to NOT see a font replaced by Arial...
I hope you can help me. If the description is a little confusing, please ask, I will try to explain better, promised. Thank you, have a nice weekend!
Greetings,
Jens

Hi Don,
thank you very much for your reply!
The font is True Type, embedding allows preview/print.
What exactly does "Then make sure the WEB Servers have access to the font." mean? It is installed on the machine. I'm not really familiar with that server config stuff, as it is usually not my job...
Do we have to install the update (it is called support pack 2, right?) on the developement AND the deployment machine? Or only on the developement environment?
Best regards,
Jens

Problem with embedded font on offset printing

Hello,
I generated a leaflet with InDesign CS5. I exported it as PDF/x-3:2002. In the document, I used quote signs (American Typewriter Light font). When I export the PDF, everything goes well, and when I check in Acrobat, the font seems correctly embedded. However, when I picked up the leaflets at the printing house today (it's an offset printing), all the quotation marks were not printed (squares instead). Where does the problem come from?? Did the printing people did a mistake and what mistake? Or is it me?
Thanks for your help!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to this thread up until now, but having reviewed this full thread, I have a few comments to offer:
It is irrelevant whether the original text was copied and pasted or whether the font was Type 1, TrueType, a TrueType collection, OpenType CFF, etc. The real issue is whether the PDF/X-3:2002 file exported from InDesign is indeed valid. This can very easily be verified by running the appropriate preflight profile for PDF/X-3:2002 in Acrobat Pro 10 or 11. There is no need for any third party plug-ins or any other software for this.
Assuming that preflight pronounces the file to be 100% kosher with no exceptions and that the file displays properly in Acrobat Pro, you should then try printing the file (or even just the pages that exhibited the problem) from Acrobat Pro to a printer that supports Adobe PostScript 3.
If the printed output from the PostScript printer is correct as well, the problem lies totally with your print service provider and their workflow.
In our extensive experience, problems can occur in any number of ways. One of most frequent sources of problems are printers who routinely open PDF files in Adobe Illustrator to view and “fix” them, somehow thinking that Adobe Illustrator is a general purpose PDF editor. For the record, Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator can only successfully edit PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself when the “save editability” option is specified. Even then, Illustrator requires you to have all fonts referenced by the PDF file actually installed on your system; it does not use any fonts embedded in the PDF file. For other PDF files (such as those produced by Distiller, export from InDesign, etc.), character substitutions (especially for non-ASCII characters such as typographical quotes), font substitutions, color space changes, etc. are common issues.
If the printer is not abusing Illustrator on your InDesign-exported files, it could be any number of third party products that many printers use, some of which are of dubious value and some of which may be either defective in terms of compliance with the PDF specification or simply grossly out-of-date. (It is amazing how many print service providers put their customers' submitted PDF files through all sorts of “fixup” processes, regardless of whether the files need such fixups or not. Many of these “fixups” are more likely to cause problems than they are to fix anything!)
Under no conditions should you need to fully embed fonts in your PDF files. Certainly no Adobe software, including applications, Acrobat, and our PostScript and PDF RIP technologies licensed to OEMs is any way sensitive to whether fonts are subsetted or not! If a third party workflow component is so-sensitive, it is by definitiion defective.
In terms of imposition, there should likewise be no sensitivity to whether fonts are subsetted or not. By the way, the most reliable imposition is actually done at the RIP itself, not by programs that either place PDF files into other documents and regenerate PDF or by utilities that rearrange PDF files or create new PDF files representing the printed flats.
This thread also discussed the issue of whether the OP received a “proof.” Unless you receive a hard copy proof in which the content was put through the exact same workflow as the final product, including RIP and all prepress steps, it is very possible that the defect noted would not show up on the proof. Nonetheless, obtaining a hard copy proof is an excellent idea, especially if the issue comes up about liability for the cost of reprinting the job or even whether the original job should be paid for if the print service provider can't “fix” their workflow problems!

Help with embedding fonts in swf file

Hi, I am haviing a problem with my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
How can I fix this?
I am still a beginner using flash so the simpler the option the better.
Thanks!!!

there are quite a few ways you could mess this up but no one way that's typical.
create a new fla. click on the text tool, select static in the combobox and add a textfield to the stage. animate it. test it. any problems?
any other way (or ordering of steps) you use to create static text is prone to problems.

Flash Player 10, strange problem with emdedded fonts and movieclips

Hello, developers! I have a big problem with font embedding
and I can not debug it myself. So I need you help.
I' ve done a simple list of attached movieclips with
textfields inside them, with embedded fonts. I have no problem with
flash player 9 in order to see the list, but in flash player 10 I
can't see it. The font is very common, Arial actually so you can
test it very easily. I am using a font symbol in the library, a
class and an xml file for my data.
Also you can see it online in (if you have flash player 10
you can't see a thing)
http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/index.html
I have compiled the file as an exe projector in order to see
it as I do in flash player 9
http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/fontinflash9.zip
I have zipped also the source code in order to compile it
yourself.
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontembedded.zip
and the same example without embedded fonts (I have the same
problem there so perchaps are not the fonts)
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontnotembed.zip
Please, check it and tell me if there is a solution
available. Thank you in advance.

I've included also a much more simple example without the xml
and the font symbol, only the class and a movieclip from the
library, but I can't still see it on flash player 10
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/simplyfied.zip
I have no clue about this problem.

Problem with Consolas font in a form

I have problem with Consolas font in a form in latest Adobe Reader (v11.0.9)
It shows dots (password sign) instead of letters. Edit box is not configured for passwords.
Form was created by Foxit PhantomPDF and it shows correctly in Foxit.
Can somebody check PDF for errors or warnings?

You should embed these fonts in the document.
If you need more help with this, please ask in the Acrobat forum.

Problem with Arabic font: In certain contexts, when writing Arabic with vowel signs (fatha, damma, kasra, sukun) a sequence of sukun fatha/damma etc. would reverse automatically. Is this a known bug?

Problem with Arabic font: In certain contexts, when writing Arabic with vowel signs (fatha, damma, kasra, sukun) a sequence of sukun + fatha/damma etc. would reverse automatically. Is this a known bug?
Example: عَيْنٌ
would automatically convert to عَيُنْ
Funnily, it doesn't seem to happen here, but it does when entering text in a web interface (using Firefox, font Bayan) and when using Text Edit.
Seems to be a problem of a specific font, as e.g. Arial MS Unicode works fine. Any hints?
Thank you!

You can't do Arabic on MS Word for Mac. This app has never supported RTL scripts, so you need to use something else. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
You switch between languages by using the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen or by using the keyboard shortcuts apple/command plus space. Go to system prefs/keyboard/shortcuts to make sure that is activated.
To see which key does what, you use Keyboard Viewer.

You place vowels on letters by typing the key for the vowel after the key for the letter. The vowels are on the option/alt keys, option/alt + a gives you َ
