Something strange happening with my fonts

Hi there,
Please see the link to this pdf.
http://mssociety.ca/bc/pdf/2012_Footnotes_1_print.pdf
The PDF is supposed to have all the fonts embedded, but page 1 is showing up wonky - sometimes. Some of the fonts on page 1 are incorrect. They should all be Futura. The rest of the pages seem to be fine - and they use all the same fonts. Not sure why this would only affect page 1 if the fonts weren't embedding properly.
But sometimes when you refresh or reload the page, it loads correctly and they are Futura. I don't get it. It happened sporadically on my other co-workers computer as well.
And if you save the pdf to your desktop, and then open it, it's fine.
I appreciate any help in advance.

Thank you!

Thanks for the posts everyone!
A new development. Part of the problem is that the fonts are not displaying on the first page – but what make the document really unusable – is that the “ff” is missing from “Dollars making a difference” in the table of contents. Since “ff” is a ligature in the pdf I wondered if that was part of the problem.
I re-exported the pdf in this version – but replaced the “ff” ligature with just two fs instead. http://mssociety.ca/bc/pdf/Walk_Footnotes_1_2012_web_NVI.pdf
This is a web-res one but I had the problem with press-ready and web-res files.
This one appears to be fine now. Can you tell me if it loads correctly on your machine? Maybe a problem with ligatures then….Which is a pain if I have to take them all out of my pdfs.
This only appears to be a problem when viewing the PDF in a web browser. If you save it your computer and open it up it seems fine.
Bill@VT – I’m not sure why Times New Roman didn’t embed in the first pdf…Strange. But the font that is used all over that first page – which is not displaying correctly is actually Futura.
The PDFs were exported from InDesign CS5….and I have Acrobat Reader X (10.1.2) and Acrobat Pro 9.5.0
daniel27lt – the image on the front page is 1.8 MB jpg. I exported both Press Ready PDFs and Web Res PDF from InDesign and they both have this problem when viewed in the Web Browser. I don’t think converting all my images to GIFs is going to be a good solution for me and I do believe the problem is in the fonts.

Something Strange happen with my FreeHand - see if you know why?

Hi All,
Not sure if anyone here have been experiencing what I am about to show.
The font MyriadPro suddenly become like this... see attachment.
Why?

Hi Maeric,
No worries, my problem cannot be solve if I keep it to myself and everyone else do the same. We have to come out of our shell and be counted so we will know how many of us are out there in the same boat. When you spend so many years mastering a software like FreeHand and knowing how productive and efficient it has been, it is heart breaking to know we can't do much as individual to save it from the Giant palm of Adobe to thumb it down.
This latest set back fortunately is not isolated to only FreeHand but instead it is got something to do with Open Fonts.
For the time being I will just use Postscript fonts.
I am still hanging on to FreeHand for as long as it can still run and hopefully someone come out with a brilliant idea to revive it.
I am not give up yet.
I will always believe in FreeHand and will always love FreeHand
Thank you

Something strange happen with Maps

Hello Everybody ,
When I was in Saudi Arabia, the maps as usual we know its become so bad and when I check china map I didn't find any of metro lines and stations, all gone as we know.
the strange happen , when I reach china and I connect to China Unicom , the maps has been changed to new ones , includes all places and metro lines and station , both English and Chinese language, and no 3D.
its not same as google but it called AutoNavi. so I was happy with apple and I though apple has updated their maps.
but when I go back to Saudi Arabia , I was surprised that maps back as before , and when I look to china map , again all disappear metro , etc . also its using again tomtom maps !!
Does this happen with anyone ? or someone knows about it ?
here 2 images one when I was in china and one when I back to Saudi for same area ,, near to Quzhuang station in Guangzhou , China.

I got this article about the AutoNavi in china , but how it can be change by it self without any updates ? and why don't apple use it all the world ?!

Something strange happen with my app store account

Hello everyone,
At home we have two computers, mine is a MBP Retina and my wife has an iMac. Yesterday she got an uppdate advise and when she went to uppdate the application "The Unarchiver" app store said that she has to connect with my accout in order to uppdate the app. I tested deleting the app from the iMac and ran app store updates again and it found an uppdate for the same application and that is strange since I deleted the application, App Store should show "download" not "update". I tested with other apps and I didin't have any problem in downloadning nor updating with my wife account.
All this in my wife computer (iMac)
I took a look anyway to my computer (MBP) and app store doesn't have any update pending for me and I have "The Unarchiver" installed.
Is someone else with similar problem?
Thanks for any comment or help since my wife is driving me crazy, everyday asking what is the problem.

If the update on your wife's iMac asks for your Apple ID to update the app, that means that this app is your content bought with your Apple ID and you have shared it with your wife and authorized her Mac to use your content at some point in the past. Even on her Mac, your content is your content and requires your ID and password to be updated.
If it was saying update instead of install after you deleted the app, then there is likely a backup of your wifes Mac that has the old version of the app. The Mac App Store (MAS) can see its apps on attached/mounted drives and partitions.
Check the version number of the app on your Mac, maybe you already have the latest version.

Something Strange happens in my wireless card

i have a wireless card in my laptop.But,something strange happens.And i'm really confused:(.
lspci | grep BCM43
and i got:
04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
then type:
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
i got:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1693] (rev 02)
so, i think the "Broadcom BCM4312"page in archwiki(ie.http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312)may help.so i just do as the wiki page.
after that,i use Wicd to manage them.
it seems evrything is ok:D. the wireless card was marked with "eth1",and the previous "eth0".
but,something strange happens: after i reboot my laptop,then ,they exchange their "names"! the strangest thing is that it seems to happen randomly!
for example,nothing happened since the day before yesterday.but.this morning,they changed
and this is the "MODULE" line in my rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand !ssb lib80211-crypt_tkip wl !b43 vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp !vboxadd !vboxvfs)
so,any advice?

Notes on trying out netcfg:
- install netcfg: pacman -S netcfg
- set up a profile file in /etc/networks.d (copy a file from /etc/networks.d/examples and edit it)
- add the name of the profile file to NETWORKS=() in /etc/rc.conf
- add '@net-profiles' to DAEMONS=() in /etc/rc.conf (put it after 'network', prefixed with '@' so you don't have to wait for the network just to log in)
- remove the name of your interface that you want netcfg to set up from INTERFACES=() in /etc/rc.conf (so it doesn't try to set it up twice)
- also turn off whatever other network configuration daemon, like wicd, you might have been using.

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
<description>...</description>
tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
You should really have a language tag, e.g.
<language>en-us</language>
(you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
<itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

Something Strange Happening?

I'm not sure if something strange is happening but:
Yesterday, my co-workers hard-drive on his new Macbook Pro (just a couple months old) started slowing way down. We ran Verify Disk from Disk Utility and it recommended a Repair. We booted from the Leopard install DVD and tried to repair it but he unfortunately didn't get it to work and had to go to the Apple Store for a replacement.
Today, almost 24 hour later, my hard drive started acting up with the same problems (only I was able to repair it with Disk Utility after booting from the install DVD).
So I did some searching on the twitterverse, and I'm finding that in the past 24 hours there have been a few more cases of people losing the hard drives.
Could it be that the recent apple update has an issue?? I just find it really odd that my machine, which has never had an issue nor shown any sign of oddity would start having an issue 24 hours after my co-worker, whose mac was brand new...
Anything to be concerned about or false alarm and extremely convenient coincidence?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It's hard to tell with hard drives--notebook hard drives have an average useful life of 3-5 years, but some fail almost immediately. I don't think a download would bother a healthy hard drive, but if the drive already had some problems, it might cause them to be more apparent.
If you want to keep tabs on the physical health of your drive, you might like SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
There is also SMART Reporter:
http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter/
SMART Reporter is free and places an icon in your menu bar that is supposed to give early warning of impending hard drive failure. It actually did with the Fujitsu drive that originally shipped in my computer. I got a lot of reports of I/O errors, and when I checked with SMART Utility, the drive was failing, even though it had passed with no errors the week before when I was still under warranty.
It's also prudent to verify the disk and repair it if necessary before downloading software. Doesn't hurt to repair permissions afterwards, even though there are a lot of them that don't get repaired.
I can only say that with my WD Scorpio Black 500 GB drive, none of the recent updates have caused any issues.

SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED - please help

Dear friends
somethign really strange happened this morning on my ipod. I connected a friend's of mine ipod video at my computer and everything went just fine. I disconnected his ipod and then plugged my ipod. That's when my problem started. My itunes opened and his ipod appeared again, with all of his musics, videos, playlists. My ipod turned into his ipod. But none of the musics listed play. Nothing. I disconnected, tryied to use my ipod, and again, it was his songs, his playlists appearing on my screen.

Flash Player 10, strange problem with emdedded fonts and movieclips

Hello, developers! I have a big problem with font embedding
and I can not debug it myself. So I need you help.
I' ve done a simple list of attached movieclips with
textfields inside them, with embedded fonts. I have no problem with
flash player 9 in order to see the list, but in flash player 10 I
can't see it. The font is very common, Arial actually so you can
test it very easily. I am using a font symbol in the library, a
class and an xml file for my data.
Also you can see it online in (if you have flash player 10
you can't see a thing)
http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/index.html
I have compiled the file as an exe projector in order to see
it as I do in flash player 9
http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/fontinflash9.zip
I have zipped also the source code in order to compile it
yourself.
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontembedded.zip
and the same example without embedded fonts (I have the same
problem there so perchaps are not the fonts)
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontnotembed.zip
Please, check it and tell me if there is a solution
available. Thank you in advance.

I've included also a much more simple example without the xml
and the font symbol, only the class and a movieclip from the
library, but I can't still see it on flash player 10
http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/simplyfied.zip
I have no clue about this problem.

Something strange happened while I was working with CS4

I'm not sure whether I accidentally hit a keyboard shortcut or clicked on anything without knowing, but for whatever reason, my clips on the timeline weren't "snapping" into place when I move them around like they were before. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can reset it back to the way it previously was?
Another strange thing that happened: I was resizing some footage to remove something from the side of the frame, but when I resized it, it didn't ask if I wanted to confirm this change and no box came up showing progress on rending the frames, like it normally does when I do this. I'm a little worried that it hasn't rendered them right.

Resize where. Timeline, Effect Controls, AME? Be more precise.

Strange happenings with my Fonts

A real mystery. If I'm creating a batch "text" for a number of files the strangest thing happens. I have to change 10 files all with the same or very close to the same pixel size. In this case 1024Lx . I want to insert a "copyright" text across the image. I create the action, that includes: text, text size of18pts and opacity. and then batch. The resulting font sizes are very unenven. They are all show up in the individual files as 18 pt but some are invisiblley small some are gigantically large and some are just right. And my name's not Goldilocks.
I've tried this on PS3 and PS6 with the same results.
Any suggestions on getting this to work correctly.
Thanks!

Photoshop is a complex program and it takes time to acquire the knowledge to use it well. While action are easy to record you need some knowledge skill and practice to record an action the will well on any document.
Dealing with size is not easy in actions. Size can be handled better using Photoshop Scripting. However scrpting is not easy. So I put together a little package on crafting actions which include my take on dealing with image size.
The package also includes a dozen scripts I wrote to be use in actions to help action do some thing they can not do on their own.

Something strange happened to my iPod

Yesterday I was listening to my iPod in shuffle mode. But when one of the songs ended the nex one didn't start. I looked at the iPod and I saw, that the display was showing the name of the next song, but nothing was moving and the song wasn't playing. I clicked all the buttons but nothing happened, the display was still showing the same thing. I tried to connect it with the computer and the "Don't disconect" text appeared but after that I still couldn't do anything with the iPod. It was just not working. I waited until the battery dropped down and then I tryed to charge it. Fortunately it worked and everything was ok again. But what was the reason about that? I'm afraid, because if it's something serious I'm not sure if they'll be able to fix it in my country.

As I understand from the link the iPod could be reset when I toggle the hold button (I did this), to press and hold the buttons (did this), to connect it to the computer (did this) or connect it to a power adapter (I did this, but it worked only after the battery dropped down).
