Script for collecting Asian fonts

Was having issues with Asian fonts last week and asked a question on the InDesign side of the fence, and scripting came up, which brought me over here to ask if such a script existed for collecting Asian fonts.

Hi Peter-Thanks for your response. A big "duh" on me re: the checkbox option that exempts the CJK fonts. Thing is, this is my first foray into using asian fonts after 30 odd years in this business. I am aware of where they appear in the font list so I am sure that they werent loading.
I do believe in having the most organized and pristine font possible. I've tried hard w/getting the ones Im working with into what I consider good shape, but who knows. I have also read no these forums to dispose of the .lst files. I havent done that in ages-I didnt realize that that still had an effect on fonts so I guess I'll give that a try next. In the past, Ive had great succcess cleaning up fonts and working w/Suitcase and even Font Explorer. This Font Agent Pro seems flakey to me. It has real problems with opening fonts dynamically. I have had to restart the computer several times in order for them to be recognized. But, sometimes not even that helps. Yesterday, I resorted to putting the fonts I needed in the User/Lib/Fonts Folder.
I cant really say that it's one or just a few certain fonts that I notice being problematic-it varies from doc to doc. Thank you for your input. Much obliged.

Script to collect all fonts throw an assert in CS5 Debug. Have someone an idea to find the solution?

Hello forum members,
Sorry for my english, this is not my native language.
I use a Script from http://www.typomedia.org/adobe/indesign/fontcatalog/ to get all fonts from %Systemroot%/Fonts and the font folder of InDesign and write a simple text with these fonts. To test the script I run it under CS5 and CS5 Debug. It found only 6 of over 900 fonts. In CS5 Debug any time I run the Script, I collect two times the assert:
JavaScriptDataConverter::ScriptDataToVariant - Untranslated key string: System Font
Eng: Script providers must return untranslated strings to INX and translated strings to scripting clients.
QE: Please report this assert as a 2/2 bug
..\..\..\source\components\script\javascript\JavaScriptDataConverter.cpp (101)
In my first step I consult the developer of the script, but he has no idea why I get the assert. He also test his script under InDesign CC but he has no problems.
My InDesign CS5 and CS5 Debug versions are installed on the same system Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP 1.
I think the assert is the reason I get only 6 fonts in the normal CS5 Version.
Maybe the problem occur, because its a Server System or there are interdependency with other components because its an developer machine.
Have someone an idea or a similar issue, how I can clear my problem?
Thanks for your attention

The debug version is for developing plugins, so a script programmer need not know such details.
The assert is just a warning, you will still receive the string.
As you have the debug build, you should know that, and how to file a bug report / support case, but I doubt that bug fixes for CS5 will be handled with high priority - after all it is just an assert. OTOH if you can demonstrate that this also leads to broken INX files, that might ring a bell.
Iterating fonts by means of the file system is a less than stellar idea, for that purpose we have the app.fonts collection which also considers the other applicable locations - application specific fonts, document fonts, fonts provided by font activation programs, even fonts in some spurious location of the scripts folder and missing fonts. The font object also has a property for its file system path, if you really need that (writing your own package command?).

IOS Asian font support for apps?

In iOS 6, Apple removed support for Asian fonts needed for pdfs whose Asian fonts are not actually embedded in the files.
Does anyone know if there is an app in the App store that contains these fonts that would make them available for other applications to use? Or would that be considered a change to the OS and not be allowed?
For myself, resaving these PDFs to embed the fonts is not a viable option - I have 2,000 of them on my iPad and not only is that more work than is worth, but it increases the size of each file by a factor of 10. Not only that but they open a lot slower (I tried it on one or two of them). It's a terrible idea if one has a lot of files.
I'm looking into other manufacturers' tablets to replace my iPad to see if they h, but if I can find an app that will let me keep my pad for the purpose for which I bought it, that would be even better.
Thanks!

but mine has no asian font supports since fw updated.
Are you sure? Can you not see the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean with Safari aimed at this page?

Asian fonts display in font book but show as Western fonts in apps!

Adobe apps still display Asian fonts as Western characters, even though I've changed language settings via the "international" control panel of System Preferences. Perhaps I have not done this correctly? I've restarted the machine after changes to Systems language prefs. Asian and other calligraphic fonts are all installed and display fine in Font Book. Is there a fix?

As my aim is to access character sets without the
need to change the language settings on my machine
That's exactly what Character Palette does.
think the ideal solution is to get a copy of
Fontographer and copy all the decorative fonts and
save them as standard fonts.
A total waste of time in my view.
True Futhark has several
characters that stand for phonetics not compatible
with plain roman alpha/qwerty keyboard use. I
understand the same is true of other fonts-there are
bound to be discrepancies.
Most of the characters in the world are not compatible with qwerty keyboard use. That's why in general people don't use that method to produce them, or try to jigger fonts so they might be able to.
Perhaps this is why so
many characters come up as "?" even when inserted
via the Finder's character palette?
This may be because your app is set to Latin-1 or some other limited encoding. It should be set to UTF-8. Try Character Palette with TextEdit and you will not get any ?'s.
Control+T does nothing in Adobe apps, as far as I can
see. Apple+T brings up the Type palette but there is
no "insert special character" option there.
I got that wrong. The combo for Apple apps is Option + Apple + T. I don't know if that works in Adobe (don't use them myself).
I did notice a wonderful
Tibetan font that must be on my machine somewhere,
though it does not show up in Font Book under "All
Fonts"!
These are part of the ST series of Chinese fonts. If you go to the Tibetan range in Character Palette you can see this and you can also input them in TextEdit or a UTF-8 doc. Or you can examine the contents of an ST font by putting Character Palette in glyph mode.
I guess ideally, for graphics use, one should get the
characters into a standard font file, as I suggest
above, and then type away merrily qwerty-style.
Some Asian scripts have thousands of characters. Using a qwerty keyboard to try to access a few of them from a recoded font is not something that anyone does as far as I know. They use a specialized Input Method or the Character Palette or a similar utility. Also unless you are truly transforming your output into graphics/photos, your input would be seen as qwerty on other machines.
suppose these decorative fonts are available on the
web somewhere, where those who sell them have gone to
the trouble of transcribing the characters in to an
'ordinary' font for you?
Never seen such things myself.
It seems a shame that Macs OSX can't grant you access
to all these decorative fonts (indeed, to all
installed fonts) in a more straight forward manner.
The Character Palette is the most straightforward manner possible for accessing such scripts, if you do not want to switch keyboard layouts. All computer system use a similar mechanism. It even has a Favorites section where you can store characters you want to use frequently so you can avoiding looking them up each time. If you have some specific problems using it, I'd be glad to help, here or by email (click on my name for the address).
Am I correct in these assumptions?
No, I think all of them are wrong myself.

I am creating many site collections reading records from sharepoint list using powershell in sharepoint online tenant (office 365).
Few site collections are created and then getting above error so this error record will be skipped then few succeeding record processed then again getting error.
pattern is like:

Based on my research, the issue can be occurred due to something get corrupted in the script task. To fix this issue, please copy the code in the task, then rebuild the script task with the same code to test again.

Looking for a web font - advice please

Hi, I know this isn't a DW question, but I'm hoping somebody might be able to guide me.
I'm looking for a font (preferably on google fonts) that resembles Edwardian Script. If anybody knows off the top of their head a font that is similar, could you advise me please?
Thanks.

Most hobbyists and bloggers sites could probably fly under the radar with unlicensed fonts. But commercial web sites could be in for a whole heap of litigation woes. It's not worth the risk for something so trivial.
Please cite a case where a commercial website was sued for violating the fonts license? In UK Harrods tried to sue a coffee shop for using Harrods fonts and they lost with heavy legal costs. Fonts can never be patented and people are free to use whenever they can.
Some bully boys will try anything but people have to stand for their rights. I am currently in dispute with easy Jet because I have registered one website with name like easy XXXXX. Now they tried to bully me for using the word easy and I challenged them to sue me. Their solicitors wrote to me and intimidating me and I won the first round. They are appealing and so the case continues. The court has decided that I should not promote the website until the appeal is heard but in the meantime, I have notified easy jet the revenue I am losing because of this restrictions. The court is aware of this and if I win the case, I shall be entitled to millions of pounds in compensation due to lost revenues.

Having Problem with Asian Fonts

I'm having a problem installing the packages ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-arphic-uming. They install fine, but it completely corrupts all my fonts.
Any new applications that are launched (or when KDE is relaunched) have nothing but boxes for the fonts, and, when I log out of KDE to KDM, everything appears as boxes. If I log in to KDE and check out the Fonts section in KControl, it just crashes.
Thinking it was just a KDE issue, I installed Fluxbox, and it won't even start.
This is a brand new installed based off of the 0.7.2 base ISO, and I've updated everything completely. Before the fonts are installed, everything is working perfectly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

On Friday I started to develop a page that had japanese translation. I had no problems with it.
Anyway, I realized something that may help you. No matter what font i choosed, japanesse characters where allways showed, and they were always the same.
It means that asian fonts override standard fonts. What can be happening to you is that you don't have the fonts properly configured (either the fonts by themselves, or in Xorg).
I don't know enough about fonts to give you more information about it, but what you should do after reading this is uninstall all asiatic fonts, install japanese fonts, install kde-i18n-jp and create an a user account with KDE set to japanese language and see if it works well to you. If it does not work then the problem is in your configuration. If it works well then do the same with the asian fonts. If they are still not working then to me it looks as a bug, and you should report it.

Resetting font on PS CS4 to English - keep showing fonts in Asian font

Can anyone help me?, I keep resetting the font preference to English, but many of the second half of my font list in PS keeps showing in Asian fonts not allowing me to see what the font preview looks like at all. These same fonts are in English in Ai on my computer with no trouble seeing the preview in English, but when using PS, they are not understandable. These fonts include ( see attachment) Odd because many of the standard fonts are preview just fine and then the lower list still is unreadable as it remain in Asian font. Help?
Thnaks - BIG Gratitude - K-Nine

Thanks Chris, but why can I see the preview perfectly of these very same font when I work in Ai, but now in Ps they remain in Asian script.
I love these fonts and can use them in Ai easily because I can see each one's preview in the scroll, but I can remember what they look like in Ps so I have to try each one out on some text to see what it looks like..it s a drag - any advice to get them to preview in Ps as the do in Ai? -Cheers

Is there a script for changing layer names in ID CS4?

I have multiple documents with an average of 20 layers in each. Each of the layers is named for the expiration date of the coupon in the ads. When a new order comes in I retrieve the previous files and change the dates via scripts and the Find/Change option. I have looked but cannot find a way to rename the dates in the layers as well.
Does anyone know of a script for this?
Thanks in advance!

E-mail, eh? You're missing out a lot of fun stuff, as there is
- editing your own posts
- using bold and italics to highlight important stuff
- finally being able to shout (some posters think it's necessary to use a large bold font to make their post stand out in the crowd. They are correct, it does. In the Bad way.)
- inserting images
- uh, Jive (-- sorry, couldn't think of any more fun stuff to add)
