Remapping TrueType Fonts in Framemaker 9.0 maker.ini

Greetings, forum community.
When attempting to embed non-base 14 fonts in PDFs using Pitstop v7.52, I receive a notice that no TrueType version could be located.
I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the solution is to remap the unavailable font (in this case Arial, Bold) to an available font (Helvetica, Bold) in the Framemaker maker.ini file.
My entry in the maker.ini file is as follows:
Arial, Bold, *, *=Helvetica, Bold, *, *, *
Alternately, I could use Arial MT.
Neither, however, seems to work as I've mapped it. Upon generating a PDF, I still receive an error from Pitstop saying it was unable to embed the font.
Can anyone easily see where I may be messing up and offer a solution?
Thanks, as always, and best regards.

Unfortunately, I'm only vaguely familiar with Pitstop. I used it for a short
time years ago, but remember little about it. But I do recall that it is an
Acrobat plugin and therefore uses Acrobat to produce the PDF. So check your
"PDF presets" (.joboptions settings) in Acrobat Distiller because there is a
dialogue that lets you specify fonts that will never embed. Some of the
default Adobe PDF presets, including (if I remember right) even the Standard
options, have some fonts set in there to never embed (it assumes that
everyone has them on their computer already) and that may include the fonts
you are having problems with. If this is the case, just move the fonts from
the "never embed" column into the "always embed" column to fix your problem.
Then save as a custom PDF preset to use in the future. You can also save the
changes to the current preset, but I seem to recall that Acrobat updates
have recently started resetting some user settings without permission. So
you may find that changes you made have disappeared in the future if you
don't save as a custom preset!

Missing fonts in FrameMaker 9 even after installing Adobe Type Manager

Hi,
We are using Formata family fonts in our templates. We import the templates and don't see the font family.
We then installed the Adobe Type Manager and tried reimporting the template. No results.
We then edited the makers.ini file and added the Formata font in DefaultFamily, still we see the font as missing in the Paragraph Desiger and Catalog.
Any help in this regard is appriciated.
The FrameMaker version is 9 on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Mrini

Hi Mrini,
I need not the ATM on Windows XP or higher to install a font.
1. Open the \Windows\Fonts folder
2. Drag and Drop the font file otf, ttf or pfm (for ps fonts).
3. Then the font is available for Windows and for the applications.
4. Test it with Word and FrameMaker to choose this new font.
Additional information for FrameMaker and the maker.ini:
FrameMaker can differ Weight, Angles, Variations, Windows Weight and Angles only.
Indeed you can define the correct Family Name with information to the Windows font name and information.
That isn't longer important if you use FrameMaker on Windows platform, but it can be a great challenge
if you also work with Adobe InDesign.
InDesign works default with the correct Font Family name with Weight, Angles, Variations.

ACROBAT 6 DISTILLER - TRUETYPE FONTS

Okay so here goes....
We use quark to save our quark files as .ps (postscript) files and drag those postscript files to the distiller to create pdf's. The problem is when i send these pdf's created from this mac to a pc and open it up and go under file--->document properties--->fonts, I am seeing TrueType Fonts, which i shouldn't be seeing. It is illegal to use TrueType fonts when your distributing pdf's online. I had a hard drive that is dying so i reloaded the os's (9&x) on a new drive. Everything seems to be setup correctly, but when i distill the .ps files from the old drive im not getting any TrueType fonts within the pdf??? It seems to be Helvetica & Times that are having a problem on the new drive, they always show up as TrueType and on both drives im using Helvita & Times in the same location. ~/system/library/fonts/ Anybody that can help me i would gladly appreciate it.

That sounds like Adobe trying to sell you more fonts. The striped red letter A is simply Adobe's icon for any printer outline portion of a Type 1 PostScript font. But there's plenty of other vendors of PostScript fonts that of course won't have that icon. Doesn't make them any less usable.
There's also no law or rule against using TrueType fonts if you want. Although it does depend on what you're doing with the resulting PDF. If your PDF is going to a professional printer, then you should use PostScript fonts. Most professional RIP's still don't handle TrueType fonts well. The edges of characters look like they were cut out quickly with a scissors on the final files used to create film or plates for press. But if your PDF documents are just being distributed for viewing and garden variety printing from a laser or inkjet printers, there's absolutely no reason you can't use a TrueType font.

Can't import MapInfo TrueType fonts into MapBuilder

Hi forum
I am trying to import TrueType fonts from MapInfo, that we used to use in the MapInfo application, that we are migrating from. I try to use the "Import TrueType font" function in MapBuilder, but when I want to view the font afterwards, I just get a blank page. I have tested with the font MapInfo Cartographic (TTMICG__.TTF), which you can obtain as part as the free "MapInfo ProViewer" package from MapInfo, available here:
http://extranet.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1062
My own first idea was, that the underscores in the filename might cause trouble, but that doesn't seem so. Renaming the TTF file didnt make any difference. The file seems to import ok, but the Preview window remains empty.
I have tried importing a "standard" font like Times New Roman, and that appears to work fine. Are there any specific type of TrueType fonts, that MapBuilder does not like, and which you therefore for some reason cannot use in a marker style for MapViewer?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jacob,
look this thread: MapViewer 11g / MapBuilder / TrueType Fonts

Loading TrueType fonts?

Well, i was originally going to create a TrueType font loader, but after looking into the file specification there is ALOT of work which i would need to do, so i was wondering if there was a java package that can already do this for me?
Example;
Program connects to server -> server sends program a font file -> program then needs to use this file with the "Font" class, but i don't know if that class only uses installed fonts or if there is another way to do it via my program, but i don't want the fonts installed on the users system i would rather them be only available in the program of us.
Thanks for any help or info relating to my problem, any links to java api's would be a great help.

Read the API for java.awt.Font#createFont(int fontFormat, File fontFile). note that to make the newly created Font available for use with a FOnt constructor, you have to first register it with the GraphicsEnvironment. Also that the created Font has a point size of 1.

How to convert a logo in truetype font?

Is there a freeware or shareware program which can convert a logo in truetype font?
I saw Fontographer, but it's very expensive...

mnstudio
There are many tools out there that can do the job for you. Fontographer is one of them, but there is also Fontlab Studio or Glyphs (http://glyphsapp.com) which looks very promising and is a lot cheaper than the other two.
Fortunately there is also FontForge (FontForge.org) which is an open source font editing tool. The good thing about FontForge is that it is free, the bad thing about FontForge is that it is very complicated to get it up and running because they only provide sourve packages, no installers. But you can always search the net for a version with an installer, but these versions are mostly very outdated.
As far as I know, FontForge is the only free tool out there, so you might try it.

Cannot display Courier New and Index Marker font in FrameMaker 9/10 w/ Windows7

Hi.
Our company recently rolled out Windows 7 x64 and this seems to have had a negative impact on display fonts in FrameMaker 9 and 10.
What happens is this: When we open a FrameMaker file, any text in Courier New (which we use for command/code syntax) and any visible
Index markers can been seen initially but ONLY until you scroll off the page. It is as if the text font color has been turned to "white" and
the index markers have been hidden (they aren;t). The text does however, print - and the markers are really there, just invisible in spite of
the proper view setting.
I've tried several different printers, including Adobe PDF, to no avail. I can see Courier New and Symbols listed
in the Font List. Distiller is pointing to Windows Fonts folder, Adobe Fonts folder, etc. I deleted the fontcache.dat and rebooted.
Nothing seems to work.
The only workaround for the text font has been to change Courier New to plain ole Courier. But for the Index markers, we can
find no solution. I am hoping someone out there can help us. We have searched high and low on the net and cannot find any
solution. Alas. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours.

After many hours searching the net high and low and trying a gazillion different things, my manager found the solution this morning. It's very simple and solves the issue with disappearing FrameMaker 9 and 10 markers (mainly Index and end of line) and Courier New fonts. The solution is this:
Under Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization (or Control Panel>Fonts), clear the Adjust ClearType text check box when you need to work in Frame --- and select it when you don’t!

When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

Not all fonts can be packaged depending on their licensing. Some fonts are set to not allow packaging. For those you would have to manually locate them on your computer and add them to the folder where the packaging occurred.
For the images have you checked the "copy links" option?

IBooks Author TrueType font problem

I'm working on an iBook and I'm attempting to use a truetype font for a page heading, but when I preview it on my iPad, the font shows up correctly for a brief moment, then is replaced by something generic. I have confirmed in the Font Book application that the font is a .ttf, and it DOES show up in the font selector drop down menu on the formatting bar in iBooks Author. Why would the font show up correctly for a second or two and then disappear on the iPad?

It would appear that there's a bug in the preview mode. Maybe something to do with a cached version of the book? I fixed the problem by deleting the "proof" version on my iPad and re-sending it and now the truetype font shows up correctly.

Why do my TrueType fonts (from CS5 Contents/Goodies/Fonts folder) look awful?

I recently installed the fonts that ship with CS5 Web Premium. These are located in Content dvd in the Goodies>Fonts folder. the Open Type fonts look fine but all True Type fonts are pixelated...like the font isn't really there? Can anyone advise?

Actually those fonts do ship with some versions of the Creative Suite. They are absolutely not for any print-oriented production. And yes, they look like that.
Actually, Adobe has produced a number of TrueType fonts. There are a series of "web pro" TrueType fonts produced over the years and still available. See http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=1507.

Fixed layout ePub not display truetype font properly when uploaded to Amazon

I've created a kids book with inDesign CC which works fine on iPad but when I upload the book to Amazon KDP, the font which is a truetype font and not protected doesn't display properly. It has unusual spacing between the charaters and sometimes the letters overlap each other. Can i embed this font somehow to have it display properly? I can't find an option anywhere to do that. Or will I have to change the font entirely? Many thanks.

Hi Yves,
Yes, it is an SIL license. I am not using Allatuq anymore, I switched to Quicksand which I got from fontsquirrel.com.
Yes, there is a fixed layout epub option in inDesign CC 2014:
It even has some default sizing options though I have gone with a custom size to account for larger devices, desktop reading etc and am hoping that it's going to work.
The Kindle previewer (desktop version) displays perfectly.
The online previewer has had some display issues with what looks like drop shadows on some images but i'll need to look at the actual file on multiple devices to see what the reality is.
There are some inconsistencies between how the fonts look in the previewers. The online one is not perfect and the desktop previewer displays exactly as designed so again, I won't really know until I can get my hands on the devices. There is also a sizing issue with the online previewer that the desktop previewer doesn't seem to have. And then there will be the issue that the "purchase" file isn't consistent with the preview file you download so not sure how it will all pan out yet.
I had lots of overlapping and other character spacing issues until I changed my font to the OTF Quicksand with the SIL License. I'm hoping the drop shadows are just an issue with the online previewer.
And I'm hoping my conclusion is correct that the OTF with the SIL licenses work for embedding so long as you remove the encryption and replace the encrypted font with the orignal version (and include the license). And I'm hoping that is allowed.

Set TrueType font as Default

We have uploaded a new font (Verdana) via se73 (Install TrueType Fonts) and made an entry in the table TBTFFONTMAP. Now in the CRM Interaction Center when creating a new email or replying to an existing email we are able to choose this new font. However we would like to set this font as a default, so that whenever you create a new email or answer an email per default it takes this Verdana font. So far we have only seen the possibility to change the Internet Settings (Internet Options -> Lettertypes/ Fonts). However if we change the settings here we are not able to choose the size of the font, so it takes the size (size 12) of the current default which is Times New Roman and this is too big for Verdana.
Has anyone found out already how to change the default font of the email editor?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bianca

Sorry for the late response,
I started again with a fresh install of Windows Vista and again the same problem appears.
So to resume:
Open a new package
Go to the registry menu.
Add manually (with several right clicks New-> key) the following tree:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF
Drag the "Default DevMode" binary value (REG_BINARY) from my computer into the "Adobe PDF" key of the destination computer.
Save the project
Click on the Summary button crashed the wizard
In my opinion it is the REG_BINARY string length that cause the problem, I try with other long binary value from other key and it always give the same result -> Wizard crash. I also try with small binary value and these don't gives the problem (for example the "HKCU\Control Panel\Appearance\SchemeLangID" has a small value 09 04 and doesn't give the wizard crash).
Other thing with the binary value is that you can only create empty one, they cannot be modified, so you are obliged to install acrobat pro in order to be able to drag them from my computer to destination computer registry.
I will try with acrobat X and the related wizard next week.

MapViewer 11g / MapBuilder / TrueType Fonts

Has anyone tried using truetype fonts via MapBuilder yet?
They seem to work OK for most fonts but when I try to import MapInfo symbol fonts I get nothing, which is a pity since they are the only ones I'm interested in right now.
Ken

this is probablly because the mapInfo font file is not completely compliant with the Truetype spec. For instance, we have found that certain font files created by Corel draw cannot be read by MapBuilder. Try use another font creator tool and see if that fixes it for you. There is nothing Map Builder can do if the underlying Java JVM cannot parse the font file.
