Replacing fonts, characters disappear

I have a problem with the fonts.
At my company we are changing postscript fonts (Adobe FontFolio 8) to OpenType (Adobe FontFolio 11), and replacing fonts from indesign, characters disappear (for example, replacing the Helvetica Neue by Helvetica Neue LT Std) and some text boxes are empty. Do you know why it can be?

Yes, I have cheked it. Some text frames are empty. But only if I click "Change all", with "Change" and "Change/Find" it does well.
I have found the text frames are empty only in documents complicated, with many charts and tables.

Chinese font characters disappearing in CS6

I need to redesign an InDesign file that is in Chinese and originally created in CS5. When I open the document in CS6 some characters disappear (no pink box). When I substitute the font with another Simplified Chinese font, some of the missing characters appear but then I lose other characters. Is this a CS6 issue? Any solutions?

Chinese fonts can vary dramatically in character count, whether simplified or traditional, but older simplified fonts are particularly small (GB vs. GBK, etc.): the ChineseMac site has a handy list showing character counts for a bunch of fonts. And sometimes ID doesn't show a pink box, just a blank.
Differences can be really subtle. Several years ago I worked on a job using Adobe Fangsong, if I recall correctly. Some stuff disappeared on a colleague's machine, and it turned out he was using a version of the font bundled with an earlier version of InDesign and hadn't installed the revised font when upgrading ID. (The older one lacked some of the vertical punctuation symbols I'd added to the files.)
Good luck!

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
   public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
      try
         ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
         // we retrieve the total number of pages
         int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
         // step 1: creation of a document-object
         Document document = new Document();
         // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
         PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
         // step 3: we open the document
         document.open();
         // step 4: we add content
         PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
         int i = 0;
         while( i < n )
            document.newPage();
            i++;
            PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
            cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
         // step 5: we close the document
         document.close();
         ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
         out.close();
         return ret;
      finally
         in.close();

Find and Replace Japanese characters in pdf file on iPhone

Hi eveybody !
I want to find and replace Japanese characters in pdf on iPhone.
I using zlib to deflate stream - endstream block and extract text.It's work fine with latin-text.
But when i work with japanese characters , I don't know how to do it ?
I decode a sample japanese pdf file, and I know that each Japanese characters are performances as hex string : "<01b7><0e230a23>..."
But i don't know how to convert Japanese characters to the hex string like that.
Can evrybody help me?
Thanks!

Searching is the same process as extracting - since it's about turning page content into something understandable. So that still remains what you need to learn/understand - of course, referring back to all the previous sections about font formats, etc.
Replacing in PDF is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for two reasons - subset fonts and explicit glyph positioning. Have you determine (conceptually, if nothing else) how you plan to addresses these two issues?
PDF doesn't do UTF8 for page content - so don't worry about that.

Looking for, and replace special characters

Hi
I am quite new to AppleScript and can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
I have received several (a lot of) folders containing images with some strange characters in the file names. The images has to go to web, and I want to replace those characters with some that are web friendly. The characters in question is some Swedish A's and O's (Ä, ä, Ö, ö) and one that looks like the Apple Command symbol. (I was told this one is a combination of a and e).
Then, I would like to replace all spaces between the words in the file names with an underscore.
In addition, all image file names start with capitals and I would like to replace these as well.
Thanks

How do you set the left hand margin when writing emails. Some characters disappear off of the left side of the page because the margin is so close to the edge

When writing emails the left hand margin is so close to the edge of the page that some characters disappear from view on the left hand of the page. How can I set the left hand margin to not be so close to the left edge of the page?

Oy. You beat your head for hours and finally concede to asking for help, only to solve it two minutes later. Here's the answer.
In the inspector, on the Layout tab, there's a checkbox that reads, "Show Thumbnail Track".
UNCHECK that box and the gutter goes away.

Regular expressions-how to replace [ and ] characters from a string

Hi,
my input String is "sdf938 [98033]". Now from this given string, i would like to replace the characters occurring within square brackets to empty string, including the square brackets too.
my output String needs to be "sdf938" in this case.. How should I do it using regular expressions? I tried several possible combinations but didn't get the expected results.

Replacing 'special' characters

Hi all,
I was wondering if thers is a function module, class (method) or whatever (codepage translation) to convert 'special' characters like:
è, é, ë, ï, etc with respectively e, e, e, i?
More generally speaking we need to convert all characters (whether it be Unicode, Latin-1, etc.) to plain text containing only the letters of the alphabet from a-z and A-Z.
Kind regards,
Micky.

@ Rainer,
both thanks a lot for your relevant replies which are quite helpful. And I do think that we still needs some sort of intermediate table to hold at least some characters to be translated/converted into plain text.
@ Gautham,
I'm currently testing this function module with several codepages (parameter INTER_CP) beside the default codepage 1146. For characters like ë and ï this is definitely the way to go, but when using some characters that are really out there like ¥ŖßÞu0152u03A9u03C6, we still seem to be needing an intermediate table to replace these characters.
But again, some very helpful answers.
P.S. Although both answers are potentially worth 10 pts, It only seems fair to give you both the credit you deserve.

I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?

First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too.

Fonts have disappeared

Hi, i'm hoping someone can help me....
Im having issues with font book. It's currently empty and all my fonts have disappeared. If i try to install a font it will appear in font book until i restart my computer, then it will disappear again. All Microsoft fonts are non-existent. The only fonts i can access in Microsoft applications are Mac System fonts (which aren't very many). I have looked in the font disabled folder and its empty. I have also downloaded linotype font explorer and it hasn't helped the situation.
This problem all started when i downloaded some fonts from the net for teaching purposes (which i will never do again after all the problems its caused me).
Can anyone help with idea's on how to restore all my fonts? Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
Ell

These fonts are not standard system fonts. They were most likely added by another app or you installed them manually at some point. For OCR A and B, the old Bitstream versions are installed by CorelDraw for instance. Without knowing which app it actually was, though, your best option is to track them down using font sites such as DaFont.

Is there an easy way to replace fonts in Photoshop ?

Is there an easy way to replace fonts in Photoshop without clicking on each text layer? We just got a new font system, so now our fonts don't match up. Looking for a fast/easy way to replace the fonts like in InDesign or Illustrator.

Actually (You probably can guess what I’m driving at) Scripting could be used to automate such a task, but it would not really be »easy« unless one has some experience in the matter – if text-items contain a mixture of fonts it might even get kind of »complicated«.
Still, depending on the quantity of files to be edited, the OP could try asking in the Scripting Forum if someone might not have a Script for something like this already …

Replace multiple characters to single character
