[SOLVED] X11: Fonts issue with HDL Designer

Hi,
Yesterday I installed HDL Designer for my job. But I couldn't launch it successfully.
After some environment variable checks, it give me this error message:
Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.
The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font:
ISO8859-1
My locale is set on fr_CH-UTF-8 and the application set LC_ALL to C.
And after some searchs, I found two non-working solutions:
A pretty old:
http://www.edaboard.com/thread1456.html
I tried to create the old X11R6 directory and then do some symbolic links with no success.
A recent one with the right applications version:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/solve … er-2013-1/
I haven't found any equivalent package for "xfonts-75" in the official repositories nor in aur.
So maybe I missed something like symbolics link 'cause I don't have the sames directories.
Any idea?
Thank you.
[EDIT] Problem solved. I found the missing fonts package (xorg-fonts-75dpi).

Font issue with Safari

I've read of others having font issues with Safari 5.1 and Lion, but I still have Snow Leopard and am having an issue with some fonts showing as a block of As. This occurred when I set up Suitcase Fusion 3, but I did not touch any system fonts. I was able to solve part of the issue with activating Arial in the font manager, but some areas still do not reveal font, most notably, areas marked for username/password on forms. Any ideas? Btw, I do not seem to have a problem in Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks, Carolyn. I use a third party font manager but disabling it is not an answer for me. I put some fonts back into the user folder (never touched the fonts in the system library) and resolved SOME of the "A" issues, but not all. I have no problem in Chrome or Firefox. I've tried multiple solutions in the past couple days, including this fix for sandboxing conflict http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/ but then I got permission errors when I tried to change the file. I'm not even running Lion and I'm having this issue.

Font issue with InDesign and OS 10.6

I have read quite a bit on this but have found no resolution. We installed OS 10.6 on two of our three G5 Macs at work. We use InDesign CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
When we open an InDesign file that we all share, the machines with 10.6 on it say fonts are missing. (I believe this is a naming convention problem.) I learned that some of the fonts for InDesign should be moved to the InDesign font folder. We did that. That helped on several of the fonts. However, we still have an issue with Helvetica Neue, and Universe (67 or other numbers). I have the same Universe font family listed, but when I go to find 67 or 47, they aren't there.
Anyone else having this problem? Do we need to go in to every document and change the fonts to avoid this error? Is there a better fix?

I have just swapped from an old Mac Mini (using 10.4.11) to the new Mac Mini (using 10.6.6). I did not do any fiddling about fonts. Everything is as it installs. The only thing I did is to resolve duplicate fonts in Font Book.
For convenience, I used Arial for documents. Now when I open an ID document, it says Arial[TT] (as well as bold, italic...) is missing. I checked the Arial ttf group is in /Library/Fonts, but in ID font list, it shows an Open type.
All I want is that the fonts should work, when I open all the InDesign documents (still in CS2 Version) that I created since last five years. I am no techie by any means, what I need is a step-to-step to solve the font issue, so that I can get on work immediately.
Any concrete step-to-step advice is highly appreciated.

Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

Same issue here whenever I'm using a different color profile. Only the default color profile seems to work properly with the new sidebar in mail.

Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
iWeb
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Safari
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

This should help. Good Luck.

Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

Hi.
I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
- When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
- When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.
Kind Regards

Fontographer PS fonts issue with Yosemite

I have created a number of PS fonts (.otf) with Fontagrapher 5. They have been working flawlessly ever since on my MacBook Air (mid 2012) 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
Since moving yesterday from Mavericks to Mac OS X Yosemite, things are terrible. All fonts created with Fontographer are not displaying and printing correctly …. my 6 indian music books and numerous documents in hindi/english diacritical are thus unusable. I tried with Nisus Writer Pro, Text Edit and Mellel to no avail.
Checking with the Apple software FontBook, it says all my Fontographer Fonts are « usable » (green ok check) and that there is no conflict/problem. To be sure, I removed all factory fonts which could potentially make problems (orange warning), rebooted the Mac but, despite that, nothing works properly. Fonts are incredibly SCRETCHED on display (space between characters is huge) and some of them don't print as they are displayed. I also naturally updated the printer (Xerox Work Center 6605 DN) driver to the latest Yosemite compatible version (oct.16, 2014) but that doesn't change anything. I also tried different ways of making pdf from the different word processors but the same thing occured on pdf.
Please, kindly check and inquire about this important issue with Apple fonts experts. Number of us, using Fontographer Fonts, must be facing the same incompatibility with Yosemite.
Please do let me know what I can do to solve the problem. I don't even know how I can downgrade to Maverick yet.
Thanking you in advance for a quick reply

Well, Kurt Lang did solve my problem and I won't ever be enough thankful to him. He tried one of my font and took the time to examine it with FontLab Studio. In case other persons experiment the same type of troubles, I am pasting the mail I got (along with the corrected font) for info :
Hi Patrick,
I did find one issue in particular. OpenType fonts should have a UTM setting of 1000. These were at 2048. So I changed those and had FontLab Studio rebuild the names (I just let it do its thing).
The originals you had sent wouldn’t even appear in Office 2011. The rebuilt ones do, though for whatever reason, bold italic won’t show. However, you can click the italic and bold buttons and the correct font is used. Otherwise, the new fonts all work as expected in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, TextEdit and others. I tested them in both Mavericks and Yosemite.
Can’t guarantee success, but give these a shot.
Kurt
That guy is an angel. He spent a tremendous amount of time examining, testing on Mavericks and Yosemite and on several apps until resolving the problem. Too helpful, too nice and too competent. That's a treat.

Font issue with DW

I'm getting close to finishing my first site. I recently went online to test it out. I noticed on the desktop everything seemed fine. When I looked at it on my ipad I had a bunch of font issues. That reminded me of what I heard about building font stacks. I looked into it and I must be missing something because no matter what I do I can't seem to get the fonts to work on an outside machine. I'm using DW cs5

What John is saying is:
A computer can only display fonts that are installed on it. Anything else will display as unicode characters (looks like heiroglyphics) or if the system can do it, will be substituted with a default font (usually Tahoma or Arial).Try writing a document in WordPad using a custom font, and the delete the font from your system. When you open the document again you will either see an error message warning that the font is unavailable or heiroglyphics where your text was. Browsers don't give any warnings like a word processor does though.
I have over 4800 different fonts installed so the odds that I'll run into something on a webpage I can't view, in the designed font, are pretty slim.
The odds of the average user (whose computer only has about 246 fonts installed) seeing your custom font (calamity teen btn) are about one in a billion. Instead, the browser will substitute a "default" font for it, (usually Tahoma or Arial).
If you are building something for JUST your personal use and you are the only one who will ever see it, use whatever fonts you want. Your system has them installed and can display them in your custom designed webpages. More power to you. BUT...
If you are building it for the web (and over six billion potential visitors), stick to the standard web fonts.
Sure, it won't look as fancy as what you've just designed, but at least people will be able to see the fonts and the layout won't be all screwed up when Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome or Safari makes a substitution.

Font Issue with Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office

I have been using this toolkit for only a few days now, but I just have to get this issue off my back. When developing a toolkit it would be a good idea to use the same cluster to represent fonts in ALL places. If you look at "Excel Set Graph Font" vs. "Excel Easy Table" they take two completely different clusters. Why? I don't know, but it is *very* annoying.
How could something like this slip through the cracks? Is there some reason why there is this discrepancy? From my perspective as a software engineer I see no excuse, but maybe someone else can justify this oversight for me. I just hope that I don't find any more issues with the toolkit...
Naveen.

Naveen,
what you said is true when dealing with same kind of objects, but in this circumstance, different cluster defines the font of a differnt object. For example, you may not want the user have as many options with defining the font for the X Y axis title as that for defining the text in the table. This is ture when you want your generated report to have similiar styles.
But this is certainly something we will think about, thanks for your constructive suggestion,

Issue with Output designer and Konica bizhub Pro 920 Driver:

Hi, i would appreciate if someone could help me with the following issue:
I have designed a document using Adobe Output Designer and need to print it on Konica printer which uses above driver. Konica is not included in Adobe Presentment Target List so i am trying to use a Generic Postscript L2 - (PSLEVEL2) presentment target. I want to make few changes to this driver to match it with destination printer settings. e.g Output Order should be Face Up, Input and Output Tray should be Auto, Print position should be Left etc etc. I have tried to edit ICS file but it's not making any sense to me as i dont's know the PCL. Could anyone familiar with a similar situation help?
Thanks in advance

Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

Hi,
I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.
Kenny
Environment:
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 V11.0.0.2013.0303.1.892433

Win 7, LiveCycle Designer does not display properly
Win XP, LiveCycle Designer used to display properly

Thanks vNohria.
I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue and couldn't find any.
P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

Solved IOS 6 issue with headphone remote

Upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6 and my Klipsch headphone remot would not work. Volume buttons worked, and the center button would start playing music, but it would not stop or pause the songs. I tried my original Apple earbugs with the remote and did not have any problems. The I used the Klipsch again, and now they work great.
Sounds strange, but that is what happened.

Hi All,
I was facing all sorts of issues with my earphone controls.
This solved my problem.
Double click home button. (press twice).This will show you all the apps that you have currently open.
Long click on the 1st app in the list [about 3 seconds]. This will make the icons wiggle and show a red minus sign on the left hand top corner.
Scroll [right] to see your music app (if you can't see it already).
Press the red minus sign. This will completely close the music app.
Restart your music app and things should be back to normal. [I also would close all other app in the same fashion, just in case, cause things like youtube apps use the controls on your earphones as well. ]
In short: - kill, kill-em-all and restart your music app.
