_sans font missing!

I am using Flash CS3 and the default font is _sans.
This is missing from my fonts folder and I have tried to Google a download for this but have been unsuccessfull.
Can anyone supply a link/font details or suggest how I can access the font?
Thank you

Hi,
_sans(similar to Helvetica or Arial) itself is not a font and it is a device font like _serif(similar to Times Roman) & _typewriter (similar to Courier) mainly used for dynamic, input and static(horizontal only) text fields. Device fonts are not embedded in the Flash SWF file. Instead, Flash Player uses the font on the local computer that most closely resembles the device font. Because device font information is not embedded, using device fonts results in a smaller SWF file.

Font missing issues

After seemingly resolving 'font missing' message when opening a document, the font is still highlighted in pale pink and I can't seem to get rid of it. Can anyone help?

Strangely enough, I seem to have resolved the issue myself, by removing the fonts from Font Book. Your last reply popped up as I was removing them, and I was going to reload them to font book, however when I went to inDesign to open the document and get you some screenshots, the issue seemed to have resolved itself, leaving me baffled, as I thought I had to have fonts installed in Font Book to be able to use them?
I do have a secondary issue with another font, Knockout, though. I have added this to Font Book, for use in the same document (I had no issues with this one going missing though), but when I view it in Font Book, it appears as shown below? Do you know why?

_sans font problem or bug..!?

while using _sans font with 11px, the edge of W is getting cut. But wen i change to 12px or 10px it works fine...
ActionScript Code:
<mx:TextArea id="_txt" htmlText="{txtStr.toUpperCase()}" width="600" height="200" styleName="subSectionTextStyle" />
style
Code:
.subSectionTextStyle{
               font-family: "_sans";
               color: #FF0000;
               font-size: 11px;
any one can tell me the solution what is the problem with 11px for _sans.

Since installing Snow Leopard, several OpenType fonts I use in important projects have become unusable. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with Snow Leopard's type control UI, or the fonts themselves.
The most important one to me is Canada Type's $120 Ronaldson font family http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/ronaldson/ which I've used for many weeks successfully, relying on the "Rare Ligatures" checkbox in Pages and TextEdit.
In Snow Leopard, I can still view existing documents that were set with the rare ligatures; they render on-screen correctly. But in the Typography popup in both programs, there is no access to these character sets, just the basic font glyphs.
The "Rare Ligatures" checkbox does appear for Hoefler Text, for example. So I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is in Ronaldson (I've contacted the foundry), or with some sort of change in OpenType handling.
It's a pressing concern for me: I need to use this font family in particular. How can I tell whether the font is to blame, or something in the contextual typography dialog?
Open Font Book and use the menu item File > Validate font.
You could also try this: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-fonts-in-leopard-are-crazy-how-do-i.html
I have never tried it in Snow Leopard, though, so I am not sure how well it would work.
To me it is actually surprising that Rare Ligatures ever worked for you. There have been quite a lot of people reporting problems with typographic features and OpenType fonts in Leopard.

Symbol font missing problem

I have a Visio design containing symbols from Symbols font (in Windows) converted to PDF and then imported in the Illustrator CS 6. It says the symbol font missing and substitued with 'Myriad Pro', and those symbols are shown as crossed ('X'). As suggested in some posts, I tried to replace this font with <Symbol> font (tried others as well) using 'Find Font', but it didn't replace. Can some one tell me a working solution, preferably the solution to the missing symbol font problem itself, if not a way to replace.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Raj

Placing seems to work even without flattening, but as you said cannot edit text anymore.
Regarding the other solution, that is where my problem was. I tried to assign the correct font (and with some other fonts too just to check) to the text objects, but Illustrator doesn't seem to accept as the font remains the same 'Myriad Pro' all the time! It is infact what 'Find Font' does for font replacemet, if I understood correctly, but alas this too doesn't work.
Until there is no better solution, I can at least use the edit restricted place method for now! Thanks Monika for that.

Opera fonts missing/garbled? [solved]

I just did an Arch installation on my desktop out of curiosity, and it is FAST AS A MOTHER(rhymes with)TRUCKER ... now I can see what the whole rage was about! I've been running it on my 233Mhz Dechutes laptop w/212MB ram and THAT runs well, man!! 2.35 Ghz really shows.
Anyway ... I have installed (via pacman) xorg, xfce4, opera, and some other misc stuff, and when using opera, I can't help but notice that there are fonts missing. I have opera set to pop-up a progress bar at the bottom of the page as things load, and I see a lot of boxes, empty spaces, and sometimes kanji characters. Also, in the transfers window, there is no text at all. Like where the filename, size, etc. should be, there is just blank space. Very weird.
Is anyone having a similar problem? Is there a font pack that I should install or something? Everything runs spankin ... except for opera. And that still runs very spankin, just the fonts ... they don't.
Thanks all!

I had the same problem...
In opera no text in transfer window, in console - corrupted MC...
Fixed it by changing my locale=en_US.utf8 to en_US.85... can't remember exact numbers... You just edit /etc/locales.gen file - uncomment that en_US.85...... and then save and run locales-gen...
It workeg for me now i have a beautifull MC in console and everything else
I'm using fluxbox...

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

Fonts missing – though I'm 100% sure I'm not using them

Hi,
I've got a Keynote file, which I'm sure is only using one font ("Lato" from google fonts). Every time I open it, it says it's missing 2 more fonts (Cantarell and SourceSansPro).
I'm 100% sure the fonts are absolutely nowhere in the template. Not on any slide, and not in any Styles Preset:
I checked all presets and they only use Lato.
I duplicated the Keynote file and deleted all slides and all master slides apart from one. All I have left is an empty, white slide with absolutely no elements on it. Save -> reopen -> still says it's fonts missing!!
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I created the file, but during the creation of the file, the Lato font was not installed – I'm 100% sure.
The square shape was copied over from another presentation I created. And THAT presentation was using the Lato font (though NOT in the shape I copied over). For the new presentation, I don't use Lato and I also don't want to have to install it. I don't want to run around in circles, particularly not with installing fonts on iOS.
Anyway – the square only serves as a simple example, in order to illustrate the problem in a concise way. There's a lot more shapes that I want to copy from the old "Lato" presentation to this new one. NONE of those shapes have any fonts or text inside them, yet they still come up with the "font missing" problem.
I'm hoping that someone from the Apple Support team is reading this.

CS4: Make _sans font bold?

First of all, I apologise for cross-posting but i'm not sure if mobile flash developers will know more about my issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/522887?tstart=60
I'm despreate for a resolution, or a reason for this behaviour! All i want to do is have one static textbox, using _sans font, with some text normal and some text bold! Pleeease help!! I didn't have this issue in CS3!

Greetings back from Manchester, UK!
Thanks very much for your response.
"it means that Flash knows that the device you are authoring for doesn't have a bold series" - I'm working with the N95 8GB device, and the bold glyph worked on CS3 _sans which is strange? It also works physically on the device. Do you use CS4? Can you make _sans font bold in CS4? I'm wondering if it's my setup.
"You only have to embed a font once for each .swf.....www.fontsforflash.com" - phew. I'm glad i only have to embed it once. I might try this option if I can't solve my existing dilemma.
Thanks again!

Font errors in some fonts (missing "o") only when printing. Snow Leopard.

In a couple of fonts I use most commonly, the letter "o" (lower case o), does not print. A space appears when the letter should be. It displays fine on the screen. In a QuickView of the font file, the letter is also missing. This just started after I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
1. What is causing this?
2. How can I fix it?
3. Is there a good application that will let me see in innards of the font in detail?
4. How could the display differ from the printed version?
More info:
These fonts were originally purchase a long time ago (about 15 years ago) from Adobe. They are Berkeley and InterState.
The problem occurs in all variations of the fonts.
I have 100s of fonts; so far only these two are affected, but I haven't been able to look at every other font.

What I don't understand is 1) why these fonts worked in Leopard but not Snow Leopard and 2) why these particular fonts.
If you search you will find a large number of posts in these forums about changes in Snow Leopard related to fonts, e.g.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

Fonts missing in Photoshop CS5

I have many DVD case templates I created with Photoshop CS2. I now have Photoshop CS5. I am opening these DVD case templates with PS CS5. There have been several instances where the fonts I used in CS2 is not available in CS5. Is it possible for me to import these fonts into PS CS5? If so, how?
Thanks,
Angela

One follow-up question concerning the "missing fonts" issue.....
With Photoshop CS5, if the font is missing the program will alert you. Because of these alerts, I was able to determine which fonts were missing in my Photoshop projects and install the missing fonts.
Unfortunately, Premiere Pro CS5 will use the "next best" font if a font is missing. Therefore, I was trying to determine which fonts were "incorrect" within my APP CS5 projects and install the missing fonts accordingly.
My question.....I have approx 360 fonts from my XP computer. Would there be any harm in installing all of these fonts on my Windows 7 computer, to make sure I cover my bases? Currently, there are approx 300 fonts on my Windows 7 computer.
I have verified that if I try to install a font that is currently on my Windows 7 computer, I will get a prompt asking if I want to replace the existing font. Obviously in this case, I would not replace an Windows 7 font with a Windows XP font.
Take care,
Angela

All fonts missing in Linotype Fontexplorer X

Hi,
Can anyone help? I use Linotype FontExplorer X for font management (I have 1900+ fonts installed but have less than 100 active at any one time). I have been using it successfully for years, mainly, with Indesign (also Photoshop & Illustrator - CS4). I last used InDesign 12 days ago with no problems but when I opened a regularly used file today, my fonts were missing. I opened Linotype and every font except the system fonts is missing. I use Time Machine so have restored the User/FontExplorer X/Font Library folder but is there any way to tell Linotype where the fonts folder is without having to reinstall each font individually, I tried restarting Linotype but it didn't locate the folder.
Thanks in advance
CB

That 'gulp' worries me!
I've just 'Time Machined' back to Sept 2009 and those 3 files are the only ones that ever show up in that location.
The .db file is 1.9mb and last modified/accessed last night when I restored the Font Library folder and reinstalled a few fonts to make sure it worked.
Are the other files you listed important? Is it a problem that I don't have and seem never to have had them?
I thought once I had restored the Font Library all would be ok, I'm just looking for a way to tell Linotype where the Font Library folder is so I don't need to install all the fonts and delete the ones it's not recognising (I'm thinking of something like the 're-link' for an image in InDesign when you move something to a different location)
