Solution for Vista, missing Postscript fonts, & CS3

Just switched over 64-bit Vista (first time on Vista for me--no more ATM Lite) and found that even if I installed my old .pfm-conforming postscript fonts, they'd show up in everything but CS3.
I had followed Adobe's directions for Vista and postscript files, and installed by right clicking and selecting "install". All showed up in the Windows/Font directory, but the only PS font Photoshop saw was Myriad.
Since Myriad is Adobe's font, and was probably installed with CS3, I tried uninstalling all PS/Type 1 fonts from the Fonts directory. Myriad disappeared as well.
So I figured, no, Myriad must have been installed in the same place as the others.
Nonetheless, I tried dropping my postscript files (.pfm, .pfb. .inf for each) into Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts, and THAT worked.
Now all my postscript files function perfectly fine throughout CS3--Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
64-bit related? Vista installs only .pfm files in the font directory but CS3 wants the .pfb or .inf files as well? No idea. But I do know Adobe's support docs were useless on this matter.

I did and got a friendly guy who apparently had never heard of the 2739 error. I was hoping to get some support here. In another thread I read something about holding the installation window until installation starts. I can try it, but I doubt I am quick enough before the error window opens.

  • Missing Postscript font characters

    Hi fellows,
    I bought "ITC Friz Qouadrata Baltic Regular Italic"
    Postscript font from fonts.com. The font map includes Latin
    Extended A characters, but I'm not able to see all of them in
    Flash! In Photoshop CS3 characters work just fine. Characters are
    šŠ and žŽ but there may be some others also.
    I've tried to embed all the characters in Flash but it
    doesn't help. I can't even type the characters in static field -
    what can I do? I'm useing Win XP.

    Not all fonts are fully supported and you can't compare flash
    and ps, two totally
    different applications which handles fonts in very different
    manner.
    Try to type that text in some other text document where you
    can see the character
    correctly, and paste it in to flash. If still does not work,
    then you out of luck.
    You will need to try different font.

  • [Forum FAQ]Solution for Windows PowerShell console font issue when changing system locale

    Issue description
    After changing Windows System Locale to another country, users cannot modify Windows PowerShell console font to Lucida after modifying the font settings. There is also a potential bug report in Microsoft connect:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806286/powershell-4-console-font-issue
    Reason
    In most situations, this problem is caused by system locale is changed to other countries from United States, such as Chinese, French, etc. Because of this change, the code page and font of Windows PowerShell console might be changed with system locale.
    For Example, if change system locale to Chinese (Simplified China), Windows PowerShell console
    (%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools) properties would be changed like this:
    Solution
    To resolve this problem, please follow the steps below:
    Access to the path below to find the shortcut of Windows PowerShell:
    %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools.
    Right click Windows PowerShell and choose Properties.
    Switch to Options, check if Current code page list there, if that it is, choose
    437 (OEM-United States) and click Apply. Maybe you will encounter an
    Access Deniedpop-up as the following picture.  Then you need take ownership of current PowerShell File, switch to
    Security Tab and obtain full control permission for current User Account.
    Note: if Current code page was not list there, just leave alone
    Options settings and switch to Font Tab.
    Switch to Font Tab, choose the font you wished to use, click
    Apply.
    After the above settings, current Windows PowerShell console font should works as you wished.

    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
    This is on a BIOS system

    This is on a UEFI system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
    The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu.  By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot.  Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

  • PostScript Fonts not recognized in OSX 10.4.3

    I recently installed FontExplorer X and noticed that all Postscript fonts are not recognized, not even by Fontbook. I had the same problem on a PC when ATM wasn't installed but OS X should recognize them.
    Before this happen, I was also trying to delete the Adobe Illustrator tryout because when you try to install the full version it won't install unless its gone. I had to delete files from several places and I wonder if that had anything to do with this.
    One question is, does OS X come preinstalled with ATM (Adobe Type Manager) or does the OS just recognize it natively. I thought maybe I deleted ATM in one of the Adobe folders.
    Something else I noticed is the System Postscript fonts are recognized. So its just the ones I have installed on the system.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    12" Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Sorry, cgriff44. I didn't address some of the questions in your original post. I'll be more specific this time.
    I think the problem is a bit deeper than that. OS X isn't recognizing Postscript fonts period. ... I have over 13,000 fonts and not one postscript font works (except the system postscript fonts).
    As noted in your first post, you may indeed have thrown something out OS X needs to handle PostScript fonts. It's hard for me to say, of course, since I didn't see what you tossed. But there's a bit of confusion in your statement about the system fonts. If you mean the ones in the OS X /System/Fonts/ folder, then those aren't PostScript fonts at all. They're almost all .dfonts (a TrueType variation). As are all of the fonts in the /Library/Fonts/ folder. If you have OS 9 (Classic) installed, all of the ones installed by default are also TrueType. Albeit, the older Classic variation.
    One question is, does OS X come preinstalled with ATM (Adobe Type Manager) or does the OS just recognize it natively.
    OS X handles PostScript fonts natively, there is no need for ATM in OS X. Nor does it exist for OS X. However, if you work with PostScript fonts in Classic apps, you do need to install the OS 9 version of ATM.
    Since you have so many fonts, I can probably assume you're well aware that the suitcase of screen fonts and printer fonts must be together in the same folder in order for a given PostScript font to work. That they don't seems to point to a fault with the OS. You may have to resort to reinstalling OS X to fix it. If you do, make sure to use the Archive and Install method. Also making sure to turn on the check boxes to preserve your user settings and preferences.

  • CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 Vista Ult64

    CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
    Truetype and Opentype work fine. I have searched through all the forums here multiple times, but not found a solution. The only workaround I found was to manually put the font files in c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Fonts.
    When I put any font files in that folder, they show up in CS3 for use, but not in windows apps. I thought I would make a permanent work around by placing all of my uninstalled font files in that folder, then use suitcase to install them from there. That didn't work because EVERY font in that folder is available to CS3 and turned on. Do they get installed when you put them in there?? It didn't seem like they were installed, and windows apps didn't see them.
    These are workarounds anyway. My main goal is to have suitcase work so I can organize my fonts efficiently. Extensis blames the font and CS3. I have read that there are adobe issues with other font management software as well as suitcase. Any help would be appreciated.

    Got mine FIXED here is what i did:
    Windows 7 64bit SP1, CS 5
    Postscript fonts (comprising of *.pfb + *.pfm files) did not show up in any CS5 app, but showed OK in Word, Excel, Notepad etc.
    Tried  activating through Suitcase Fusion 2 and also through FontExpert 2009 -  but neither of them made the fonts visible in CS5 apps
    1) open Start Menu/Control Panel/Fonts
    2) on the sidebar there is "Font settings" item
    3) set the settings as i did
    [    ]  Hide fonts based on language settings
    [ x ]  Allow fonts to be installed using a shortcut (advanced)
    FIXED mine,
    now i can use Suitcase Fusion 2 to install any PFB/PFM fonts without any problems...
    PLEASE IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU TOO, LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE SO OTHERS KNOW IF THIS FIX IS 100% WORKING

  • Vista 64 Treo 600 Sync Solution that should also work for Vista 32

    Ok Here is a partial solution for a Treo 600 (Bell) with Vista 64 (along with my Treo 755p TELUS)
    I recently purchased an Acer with Vista 64 to replace a XP machine that was having increasing hardware failures. I did not know at the time there was no support for Vista 64 and that Palm had only released a Vista 32 desktop the week before.
    I managed to install the Vista 32 bit desktop software on my Vista 64 machine with no error messages but when I tried to install my Treo 755p I found out about the lack of Palm USB Vista 64 drivers
    Insert Palm wasting time on Folio instead of Treo driver support rant @#!%!#%^^!#^@^@!%#!!!!!!! (I know it should be longer but most of it has been said before) Ok back to business.
    Treo 755p
    On the Palm forums I found the instructions for getting a Treo 755p to sync via Bluetooth
    I followed the instruction and purchased a Blue Tooth USP key (Oh and I tried the Kensington - Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter first...^$%^@@^@^!!!!! before I found the Iogear USB Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 Wireless Adapter which works fine and is the only one I would recommend) I now have my Treo 755p working with Vista 64 with only one error message (I'll get back to it later)
    Treo 600
    I was not impressed with the fact that this device had not support at all from Palm for Vista (32 or 64) $#%^!%!^@^@^%@ (ok I feel better)
    I found a suggestion from a UK site that mentioned you could sync a Treo 600 via IR and even suggested the correct IR USB unit to buy (SITECOM CN-100)
    http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+fast+IrDA+adapter&productcode=CN-100&productid...
    Unfortunately that particular IR USP reader is only sold in the UK. So I took a chance and ordered a "Cables Unlimited USB IRDA Adapter tem Number: C250-1160 (about $17.00 Cdn). It arrived a few days later and it installed on my Vista 64 machine immediately without requesting any "driver disk" I followed the instruction from Palm on how to set up a USB Sync and tried to sync. The Vista machine identified the Palm and was willing to work but the Palm desktop and active sync was not responding. I reread the IR instructions and it requires you to complete a USB sync first (@!#$!$#%!^%!#%~%!!!!!!!)
    So I took a night to think about it. My only solution I could think about was to see if I could fake out the Palm desktop / sync software. I fired up the old XP device and copied the user profile for the Treo 600 and copied it into the correct location on the new Vista 64 machine. I tried IR sync and low and behold it worked. (Oh and an IR Sync takes a very, very long time) After the first sync I received a few errors, my Documents to Go files were in new locations, some calendar and memos were duplicated all were very minor. I manually fixed those errors and then completed IR Sync and the Treo 600 now works with a Vista 64.
    Of course this solution only works providing you have access to your old Profile, but I figure if you been using a Treo 600 you probably not a new user. If your completing a totally new install on Vista I would suggest find a XP machine install it on it and complete sync, then copy that profile to the Vista machine.
    Treo 755p Back up Error
    The one error I received was it was unable to back up this file PmTraceDatabase
    The message read: “Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
    -SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN”
    I looked for this file in my profile on the old XP machine and was unable to locate it, but I noticed they the Treo 600 didn't have this message when I copied over the entire profile, I tried to do the same with my Treo 755p profile but the error did not go away. So after researching the Palm Forums I found this simple solution
    http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=28291&query.id=134275#...
    So now that I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get both of our Palms working with Vista 64 I figure the 64 bit USB drivers should be available any day now.......oh and I'm now hating Vista less......
    Post relates to: Treo 600 (Bell Mobility)

    Used Cables unlimited IrDA wireless Bridge....followed instructions...installed included software...even with Vista 64 and Zire 31...worked like a charm!

  • Postscript fonts not appearing in CS3 Help!?

    I have quite a few postscript fonts installed on my Windows XP Professional 64-bit computer, but none of my adobe programs are showing them as available. I tried using my old Type manager deluxe, but it won't let me install it on a 64-bit system. I used the windows font installer to install the fonts. How do I get my creative suite to recognize the fonts?

    Seems to be a known issue with 64 bit systems. I've seen it myself with
    some fonts. You can place them in a private Adobe fonts folder and try
    that but I've just taken to using the TrueType versions since my Type 1
    fonts all came with TrueType also.
    OpenType is the way to go for any new fonts, though.

  • Hi there, In CS3 I saw both my scanners in Import From Device, but in CS4 they are vanished, anyone have a solution for me?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, In CS3 I saw both my scanners in Import From Device, but in CS4 they are vanished, anyone have a solution for me?  Thanks in advance.

    The Twain.Plugin conflicted with bad scanner drivers made by scanner manufacturers and caused too many problems so it is not installed by default. Its in the goodies folder.
    But I have to ask. Why tie up a $1000 application to use a $100 scanner? Use the scanner as a stand alone with the software that came with the scanner or use VueScan that way you can keep working while you are scanning. BTW you know that you are using the scanner software when you scan through photoshop right. Photoshop has no scanning capabilities built in.

  • Solution for OPML error in SOA suite Startup (Win Vista x64 and older)

    h1. Hi Folks!
    When installing SOA suite on Vista 64 bit I encountered lots of problems. One of them was the following upon starting the SOA suite:
    At 33% in the progress bar, the starter gives an error, returning a question about OPMN.
    Caused by: oracle.ias.opmn.optic.OpticBadConnectException: Error connecting to OPMN (is it running?): Connection refused: connect
    Being a newbie in this field, I resisted to learn everything (Oracle as part of a course of Busines Process Integration Laboratories at the University) about the works behind the package. Unfortunately, OPMN drove me crazy for days!
    The main problem for OPMN is the unability for the system to handle certain issues.
    One of the issues: When in a testing environment that is unstable (i.e. a laptop) some issues occur:
    * sleep resume is not supported
    * hibernation resume is not supported
    * restart is not always working for all processes
    (tested this with XP32 & XP64 SP2; SP 3; Vista 32 and Vista 64)
    The main issue is with OPMN and the services that are started and controlled through it.
    A solution for our workgroup has been made:
    -create a reset.bat file
    -use the following code:
    +@echo off+
    ECHO Step 1 in the server reset is running: Shutdown OPMN processes
    D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin\opmnctl shutdown
    ECHO Please continue the reset sequence by pressing any key
    pause
    ECHO Step 2 in the server reset is running: Restarting OPMN processes
    D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin\opmnctl startall
    END
    The commands regarding ECHO and the pause break can be omitted, but for supervision it is better to see if all processes are started in working order.
    Please note the absolute paths, these are from my personal setup as they are the default from the manual. Adjust if necessary.
    As User Account Control (UAC) does interfere a lot with programs in Vista (32 & 64) and from SP3 also with XP, please assign administrator rights to the reset.bat file.
    This solution should take care of the "OPMN (is it running?)" issue, without rebooting or cold restarting the server.

  • Missing system font for template

    I was trying to load a template (Info, Checkbox), but am getting the error message that this project uses a missing system font: applemyungjo regular. Anyone know where I can get this font?

    I'm not sure why LT thinks it needs this Korean font, but it now has what it wants. When I did my erase and install of Leopard, I did not include the optional foreign fonts. I reinstalled the fonts from the install disk for the computer (without having to touch Leopard installation) and it works now.

  • Best coverflow and missing feature alternative solutions for all platforms.

    Personally for me coverflow was a important feature. Not JUST a feature but what really defined iTunes as BEING iTunes.
    I would have actually loved if apple instead of removing it expanded on it and made it faster,better,stronger. With things like back label support  so on and so forth.
    I'd like the communities thoughts on some of the best alternatives for the missing coverflow & other features currently left out of iTunes 11 on both Mac and Windows.
    Also, If there is a way to link(link up) any of those to iTunes 11 for track and volume control. Ideally for not just sending but also receiving track and volume input.
    And whats the absolute BEST solution for each platform. I understand running iTunes 10.7 or 11 sandboxed or on another machine may also be an option.
    So.. lets look at things like resource usage Vs usability...
    For me CAD (CD Art Display) has always been helpful especially combined with raindrop even tho it doesn't have flow options for the most part on 99% of themes. It still makes my library pop.
    Looks like there are 3 options for Mac
    Steel Sky (SteelSkies)
    Everplay
    CoverStream
    Its worth noting Everplay has Last.FM support. Not sure if that can be integrated into iTunes 11 somehow.
    For windows the only thing i could find remotely like coverflow is a widget called XDeskCover
    To mods:
    Please stop deleting my posts. If you want to take the time to completely remove a feature from a program atleast let us explore some alternatives so we can continue actually using apple products.

    another method suggested in these forums in the post "session manager stopped working with firefox 3" by Charles Anderson works for me and allows me to use my little X.
    go to options -> General tab
    under startup/when firefox starts -> change to something other than "show my windows and tabs from last time".
    I've had this on show my homepage previous and it got changed somewhere and I think it was from an update or addon which is why a few others are having the same issue.
