[SOLVED] wine arial font only bold and italic

I have installed office 2003 in wine. Some one send me a document in arial regular font. It looks fine in winxp, but when I open with the word by wine the all the arial font looks bold and italic.
I have also tried with winetricks corefonts but nothing changed.

The problem got solved when I copy pasted the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/TTF to wine fonts folder.
Now arial looks fine as of windows.

  • Bold and italic fonts in dynamic text fields.

    I have a dynamic text field with the text "IMAGES". The font
    is Arial, it has BOLD and ITALIC checked, and has basic Latin fonts
    embedded. Now, I use Actionscript to change the text:
    textField.text = "IMAGES";
    Suddenly the text disappears! Now, it seems to me that since
    BOLD and ITALIC are checked on the text field, changing the .text
    value should simply change the text itself, which should then be
    rendered in bold and italic, and since I have bold+italic Latin
    glyphs embedded, it should display properly. But what's clearly
    happening is that when I set the text using Actionscript, it is
    attempting to display the NORMAL font instead, and since it's not
    embedded, it won't display. I know this because if I create another
    proxy text field off the screen and embed the NORMAL Arial glyphs,
    the original text field's text will display just fine - as
    normal-weight text.
    But why is this? Do I have to use a TextFormat object to set
    the text to Bold and Italic EVERY time I want to dynamicaly change
    the text? This seems silly. I simply want my text field to be bold
    and italic every time the text changes, and NO normal text!
    Any ideas?

    I met the same problem using ActionScript3 and Flash Professional CS5. There are two problems with dynamic TextFields:
    - When you set style "Bold" for a text field in CS5, the "bold" property is not available in the TextField object in ActionScript, its defaultTextFormat.bold is alway false; I don't know if we can get this property anywhere else.
    - When you change the text of the dynamic TextField object, its style changes to normal no matter whether it was bold previously.
    This is really a bug in TextField, Adobe should fix this to implement TextField in an expected way.

  • CS4 (XP Pro)--missing bold and italic fonts for PMingLiu font

    I'm working on a book that's been translated into Chinese. The Chinese text I'm using was sent to me in Microsoft Word using the PMingLiu font. While in Word, there are some characters that appear in bold and/or italics, but those disappear when I try any means of importing into ID (as in placing the file as a Word document, placing the file as rtf, or even just copying and pasting from Word).
    As I've seen mentioned in other topics on this forum, no matter what I do, I get the pink boxes that I have to highlight and change to PMingLiu (slow but not a huge problem). But I really do need the bolds and italics. I only seem to have "Regular" PMingLiu--don't have the bold and italic varieties listed in my font list.
    Are those fonts available somewhere to download?
    Thanks so much to the oh-so helpful readers of this forum!

    Microsoft Office applications as well as many other applications allow you to "bold" or "italicize" content even when the "bold" or "italic" version of the font is either not installed or in fact might not even exist. Artificial bold usually consists of stroking the character slightly in addition to filling it. Artificial italic is performed by skewing (obliqueing) the character to simulate the look of an italic style. Although these artificial techniques sometimes yield usable results, they are typically NOT supported by graphic arts programs such as InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop. Typically, bold and italic faces are typical of most but not all "Latin" font families but are less common for non-Latin font families.
    In your particular case, I suspect that artificial bold, italic, and/or combinations of bold and italic were used with the font in question. InDesign does "the right thing" by indicating that no such font exists. If you want to simulate bold, let the characters in question be stroked in addition to being filled. The width of the stroke will obviously depend on the point size of the text and the style of the characters. You will need to experiment a bit. For italics, skew the characters to the right; again you will need to experiment.
    Doing a quick web search, from what I can best determine, there are no bold or italic versions of PMingLiu available either for free or for paid licensing.

  • Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

    Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
    The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
    I have attached an example.
    I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
    http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm    <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
    Here is the example

  • PDFExport fonts. How they are detected, difference between bold and italic.

    Hi,
    i am experiencing issues with PDFExport mainly because i don't understand how the engine detects fonts in the original document.
    First i will explain my issue:
    PDFExport is used on linux machine environment.
    Copyright reasons prevents me from using windows fonts for PDFExport. I downloaded some open source fonts, most of time they are working fine. the issues that i have are with the variations the fonts. italicized and bold.
    Lets take an example of a .doc file. the file contains Hebrew characters some of them are bolded some italicized and some are regular. the font that .doc used is a windows font called David.
    When i use PDFExport with the original David fonts everything works fine and converted correctly to PDF. Since i cannot use windows fonts i resorted to using the Open Source fonts, they too have similar in style to David. they have bold version, italicized version and regular version.
    When i use the open source fonts the detection of the font is incorrect. the entire document becomes italic. when i remove the italic version of the font everything is bold. and when i remove the bold version everything becomes regular. -- i am missing the bold and italic styles when they are used in the document.
    (note that the original document can use any font it wants not restricted to the Copyright issue)
    if i understood how the detection worked, i could modified the open source fonts that i have so that it will detect correctly all the different style (bold and italicized ) correctly.
    my first question:
    How can i use the Open source fonts and also not lose the bold and italicized styles?
    my second question:
    2. Is there a way to recieve via the API which fonts the engine looked for and didn't find? it can help me to better understand which fonts i need. and may be look for them and bring them manually.
    sometimes even when i used the entire windows fonts folder still the fonts where missing or incorrect. (in the resulted converted PDF 'squares' instead of characters). an API like this may help me look for the missing fonts.
    my third question:
    is there a general guide or Standard which fonts to use. i wish to use the minimum number of fonts which will get the job done. i.e characters will be visible and not squares, styles (bold and italicized) should not be lost.
    my forth question:
    How do the engine choose which font to use?

    These are very deep technical questions and I assume it will be difficult to find anyone who knows answers on this forum.
    You will need to speak with Outside In people (you could also try other conversion component such as OpenOfficeConversion - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10800/c03_pdfi_all.htm#IBRAG238). Contacts to OIT are available at Oracle Outside In Technology, or try to create a SR via Metalink.

  • BUG - in flash pro CC, 'bold' and 'italic' properties of TextFormat have no effect on rendered text

    Concise problem statement:
    If you compile with flash pro CC, and use the 'setTextFormat' method of a TextField, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties of the TextFormat argument have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties work as expected.
    Apparently, with flash pro CC, the only way to make the text render correctly is to change the font name (add the suffix ' Bold', ' Italic', or ' Bold Italic'.) This means code which dynamically changes font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. For example, if you use the 'bold' property the text renders bold in CS6 and regular in CC, whereas if you change the font name to add the suffix ' Bold', the text renders bold in CC and DOES NOT RENDER at all in CS6. This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create an xfl with 2 TextFields on the stage, both with font "Trebuchet MS" and style "regular", one named boldTrueText containing the String "bold = true", one named fontNameText containing the String "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage for visual reference, both with font "Trebuchet MS", one with style "regular", one with style "bold".
    2. Add the following code to the Actions panel on frame 1:
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.Font;
    var format:TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat();
    format.bold = true;
    boldTrueText.setTextFormat(format);
    format = fontNameText.getTextFormat();
    format.font = "Trebuchet MS Bold";
    fontNameText.setTextFormat(format);
    var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(), count:int = fonts.length;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < count; i++) {
        var font:Font = fonts[i];
        trace("fontName: " + font.fontName + ", fontStyle: " + font.fontStyle);
    3. Save, and compile with flash pro CS6 and flash pro CC.
    Results:
    With flash pro CS6, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CS6, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders regular, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    Expected results:
    The same text is rendered in both flash pro CS6 and CC. I don't know why this behavior was changed in flash pro CC - it causes silent failures in code which dynamically changes font styles. I expected the flash pro CS6 behavior to remain the same in CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    If you don't want to break backward compatibility (any further), you could make both the behaviors work in flash pro CC, like so:
    With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold (font is still "Trebuchet MS"), and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold also.
    With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
    fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
    I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix.  Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    I just can't believe how there is ZERO documenation for any of this.  Flash's stylesheets have fontStyle and fontWeight properties, but they only recognize regular/italic and regular/bold respectively.
    This change in Flash CC completely breaks systems built in Flash CS6, and the font naming is actually arbitrary and is not a consistant combination of font name and style (e.g. "Eras ITC" family's bold font name is "Eras Bold ITC", but the bold version of Times New Roman is "Times New Roman Bold" (with Bold at the end, rather than the middle), and what's absolutely appaling is that the font name used at runtime is not exposed anywhere in the Flash IDE!!!  In the IDE you select a font family and font style independently, which is absolutely not what's used at runtime, because it actually uses a separate, arbitrarily named field in the font file for the font name. So we can't even know from within Flash what the proper runtime name is, unless we trace it out or open the font properties details tab in Windows explorer.
    It seems that Flash CC is always using the font "Title" that can be found in the properties of the font, NOT the font name displayed in Windows Font Preview or in Flash CC.  For example, the font name for Times New Roman Bold in Windows Font Preview is just "Times New Roman", but the font title in the properties/details tab is "Times New Roman Bold".  If they made the change to allow for specific fonts to be selected, that's fine, but it completely breaks HTML support in TextFields if it's not respecting bold and italic tags.
    This may actually be a trend on the web now, if you read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/14/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declara tion/ , it says: "If you’ve used one of FontSquirrel’s amazing @font-face kits, then you’re familiar with this approach to setting weights and styles. The CSS provided in every kit uses a unique font-family name for each weight and style, and sets the weight and style in the @font-face declaration to normal. [...] Notice that the font-family names are unique, with each font-family name accessing the appropriate Web font files."
    But there's just no mention of this in any documentation I can find.  What the hell.
    It's also helpful to realize that font and u tags have been deprecated in HTML5, while b and i tags have been repurposed since they still retain semantic meaning apart from style: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags

  • Backspace turns on bold and italic

    This is a completely infuriating problem in Dreamweaver 7.
    For several months now, when I'm working in design view, if I hit
    the backspace while typing, it turns on the bold and italic for the
    font. The conspiracy theorist in me was hoping to find on the forum
    that others are having the same problem - I was hoping to point a
    finger at a programming time bomb set to go off several months
    after the newest version came out so that people would be incited
    to upgrade. *sigh* I guess that's not the case.
    Does anyone have an idea why it's doing this and how I can
    fix it?

    Look in your keyboard shortcuts for "ctrl-H"?

  • Text appearing as Bold and Italic in CS4

    Hi Guys
    Whenever I create a new document and type into it the text is automatically 'bold' and 'italics', I have saved the page and opened on another computer running CS4 and the text is fine (not bold or italic). I have created a page on another computer and opened it on the troublesome one and again it is bold and italic ((
    I cannot see anything in the preferences that may cause it, I have also discarded the configuration folder which contains the preferences for the program - no good either (( So as a last resort I have re-installed Dreamweaver and it is still playing up. I guess I can re-installs the complete CS4 suite but rather not as it is going to take a while and also may not fix the problem.
    Any ideas anybody??

    I have just copied the code from the page as below and as you can see there is no bold or italic applied:-
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  • Bold and Italic Not Working in Mac Mail

    I was looking for answers about why my upgrade from SnowLeopard to MountainLion caused my Mac Mail to stop having the ability to change type to bold or italic with shortcuts (i.e.Command + B, Command+i). I didn't find anything helpful, so I thought I'd share my workaround.
    I opened FontBook and removed any duplicate fonts and then restarted Mac Mail. Immediately my shortcuts started working.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Bold text appears bold and italic

    Hi Folks,
    Can anyone please explain why this happens?
    In FW when I click the bold text button, the text appears bold but italic aswell.
    Thanks in advance

    That's unusual. Which version of Fireworks and what operating system are you using?
    If you click on the Faux Italic button, is the italic styling removed? (It should be. If not, click twice.) You might want to try quitting and restarting the application—or shutting down and restarting your computer—and see if this takes care of the problem.
    FYI: It's generally a better choice to add bolding via the Font Style dropdown menu, if that style is available within the currently selected font family.

  • Hello. I am trying to self host Italia fonts (Book, Bold and Medium) on Adobe Muse. I purchased web fonts from Linotype that are "obfuscated" - which means the name is hidden. Apparently I also need to install system fonts. Can I install with code in muse

    Hello! I am trying to self host Italia fonts in muse. I purchased from Linotype the web fonts. But they sent obfuscated fonts and code. I need to also install as system fonts and those do not work for that. We already have different Italia fonts that we owned prior but they are not obfuscated... Is this a problem? Is there an easier way I can do this? TIA!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

  • Hotkeys for Bold and Italic?

    I'm sure this easy and I'm dumb for not knowing it, but is there a hotkey for making selections bold or italic?  I do a lot of that and it would save my wrist many hours to find a way to do this.

    Ctrl (Cmd) + Shift + B and Ctrl (Cmd) + Shift + I.
    You'll find a nicely organized listing for all the default keyboard shorcuts as the second-to-last item listed in the contents for InDesign Help.

    Leo and Aandi,
    I am using below code for getting the font. But for few fonts like "Century-BoldItalic" it is returning NULL. Can you please tell the reason why this is faling. Also how to coin this font face name to make this work. It would be useful if you provide relevant header file information.

    objSysFont = PDFindSysFont(&objPDEFontAttrs, sizeof(objPDEFontAttrs), 0);
    thanks,
