Some Unicode does not display despite proper font support

I am having trouble figuring out why certain pages do not display Unicode blocks I know I have fonts for. For example, I have fonts for Imperial Aramaic (Quivira and 2 others), and two for Linear B Ideograms (Aegean, Code2001). I have verified this via the excellent BabelMap application, which will show you which fonts installed support which Unicode blocks. If I go into the preferences and make the default font Quivira, the Imperial Aramaic characters get displayed, but not the Linear B ones. And vice versa if I pick Aegean as the font. I would expect FFox to figure it out and work out any font that could support the Unicode block. Here are 2 test pages:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/imperial-aramaic.html
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/linear_b_ideograms.html

Did you try to select a common font like Verdana or Arial as the default font?
That should make Firefox automatically use the right font if the currently selected font don't have the glyphs.
You may also have to enable fonts for web pages.

  • Acrobat Reader 9 does not display Type 3 fonts correctly

    Acrobat Reader 9 does not display Type 3 fonts correctly for quite a few of our older, PDF version 1.2 PDF files in our products, where normal Acrobat or Digital Editions show no such problem. It only shows the bottom part of the glyphs but then shifted to the top of the glyph area.
    Files available for test/reference upon request.

    Hmm, this cannot be, as this is legacy material from 1997. There is no way that this can be changed using Type 1 or OTF fonts other than retypesetting everything from scratch, I fear, and that will be just too much expensive work. Interestingly, Acrobat Reader 8 and the latest Adobe Digital Editions display these PDFs correctly, so I have no alternative other than assume that the changes in the font rendering mechanism in Reader 9 are responsible for this. I am checking these files with Acrobat 9 Professional shortly...

    I see that you're using ASP, if the fields in question are
    memo fields in Access or nText fields in SQL server, then it's
    possible that the following tech note may help out:
    http://www.webassist.com/media/professional/support/technotes/10009.pdf
    Or you may need to specify all of your columns (not SELECT *
    ) and manually move the memo/ntext fields to the end of the list of
    fields.

  • Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

    Hello
    Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
    I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
    I am using Lion 10.7.5
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

  • In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

    I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

    The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
    defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

  • Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly.

    I am currently using Adobe Reader version 9.1.3. When I open certain files, it displays the following message, "Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly". Some fonts are actually missing and will not display when printing. I have tried updating adobe but the problem still persists. Under file properites, the following font TTF5BC9A0t00 is recognised by Adobe as true type and custom encoding. Anyone has any suggestions for fix??
    Cheers

    BUT, does it say "embedded" or "embedded subset" next to the font name. If not, the font isn't included in the file and if you don't have it, it can't display or print it.
    The file creator will need to embed the fonts properly although "some" fonts don't allow embedding. This could be one of them.

  • The font 'Didot' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display.

    I am receiving this message:
    "The font 'Didot' contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
    The message appears only in one form, not others. It appears only once, the first time I click on the form after opening it, then not again until I reopen the form.
    The font is not embedded in the form and does not exist on my computer. The font is not employed in any field in the form or in its static elements.
    Would appreciate any help in getting rid of this very annoying message.

    I have a 2 page PDF form that is getting this error message every time I open the document.
    "The font "HelveticaNeue" contains an invalid encoding. Some characters may not display."
    The document has been in use for a year (never having this error message) and needed some updates. All that was changed was the addition of some extra fields and some options in one java script to reflect extra addresses in a drop down menu.
    HelveticaNeue was in a PDF layout (from Illustrator) for the background but this variable was removed when I converted all fonts to curves (outlines) and replaced it in to my form. Under Properties>Fonts HelveticaNeue isn't even listed. All fields are Myriad Pro (triple checked) so I cannot understand how it is still an issue. It does not seem to have any impact on the document apart from the error message. It is hard to remove when it does not appear anywhere in the document except for the error message.
    I have worked backwards and deleted all java scripts and it is still an issue. I have re-imported the background with active HelveticaNeue fonts and it is still an issue. Deleted any fields that relate to java scripts and it is still an issue. Tearing the hair out.....
    Any help would be hugely appreciated as I would prefer to not have to start again from scratch.
    Run FontBook and verify the Font. If defective open your System Install CD  open Fonts. Drag this font to Desktop.
    If you can Remove the defective font by draging to Trash (if system font you'll have to give username and Password) .
    Then drag the copy on Finder in same folder dective was removed from
    THen Restart Computer with shift key down. Hold down until a screen comes up where you must sign in. wait until screen fully loads. Now try the PDF.  If works shut down Acrobat (or Reader) and the restart computer normally.
    If this doesn't work do the repair located at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377

  • InDesign CS5.5 does not display fonts correctly

    InDesign CS5.5 does not display Futura fonts correctly. I have removed all versions of Futura from FontBook on my Mac (running Mac OSX 10.7.4) but CS5.5 - Indesign, Illustrator & photoshop - still displays Futura as being open but only InDesign does not display the font correctly. The font displays correctly when I open InDesign CS4 and all other versions of Illustrator and Photoshop.  I really need to use this font. What's going on with InDesign?

    In your first screen shot , there are 2 futura font ,one is Adobe Type 1 font and the second one is True Type, you might have installed both the type of the font on your computer sometime. Now you have removed all the futura font and it is still showing in the Indesign , also the same thing happened with the Minion Pro , seems to me the font cache is not updating.
    First remove the Adobe Font cache's file:-
             At the Finder, choose File > Find.  
             Type AdobeFnt.lst, select the system drive, and then press Return.  
             Delete all AdobeFnt.lst files found (for example, AdobeFnt10.lst).
    then clear system font cache  :-  
    Launch Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities)
    Enter the following command at the prompt and press Return: sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Restart your computer immediately

  • Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

    This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
    Error message is :
    "Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
    It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
    - All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
    - the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
    The solution :
    - to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
    - is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
    compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
    This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.

    Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
    The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
    I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
    Here are the sections I deleted:
    Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
    Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
    I did leave the entourage settings though.
    hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

  • Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    No on the book title, no problem there.
    The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
    Thanks for getting back to me.

  • I uploaded a new font and it does not display in firefox

    I have a website that uses a font that is not a standard "Microsoft" font - I uploaded the font to my computer and it displays just fine in Word and Open Office, but my website does not display it. How do I get FireFox to read the font file I just uploaded? I made certain that it IS available in the Windows\Fonts directory.

    Well, browsers only display "system fonts" unless, in Html 5 you establish the CSS @font to use other fonts.
    But, you are sounding like you are not doing that. When you design a webpage on YOUR PC *your* systems fonts will show properly ON YOUR PC because they are *your system* fonts that the browser can find... on *your* machine only.
    BUT, all other PCs/Macs/etc. probably do not have your font installed on their machines and the browser on their machines cannot find the named font, so it substitutes best guesses at it from the normally available generally available system fonts. So, when you create a webpage on *your* machine you WILL see what you are creating because THAT font is available to the browser... but only on YOUR machine.
    **** Only Solution **** is to use Html-5 @fonts CSS definitions BUT that too is tricky but works. Otherwise you get standard system fonts whether *your* machine displays properly or not.
    Hope this helps

    Hello Anubha,
    I am having a similar problem on my machine.  I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
    I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1.  I am using Version 11 of Reader.
    When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says:  cannot find or create the file Times, Bold.  Some characters may not display or print correctly. 
    However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document.  Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print.  Can you please help?  Thanks.

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
    This script will only work on Macs:
