Tahoma font not recognized in Flash CS4

Ok, here is my current problem I wanted to use Cs4 to edit a flash template but noticed it kept saying I did not have tahoma font installed. I checked the font folder and I did have the font installed on the system but nevertheless I reinstalled it which did not fix the problem so I manually mapped/substituted it to the Tahoma I had on my system but noticed the fonts still appeared off when I published. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it still occurs. Do you have any suggestions?

Here is the link to the other thread I started. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2080590#2080590
If anyone wants to try to help with that too.
Thanks in advance.

Fonts not nested in Flash Menu

Hi,
CS3 flash professional 9.0 (...created 18th Dec 2007)
This is similar to the days of suitcase and Quark, but OSX i
thought these problems were gone. Im using fontbook and every
application works fine, all my fonts are nested in their folders in
the font menu, but in flash they are all loose, and its hard work,
has anyone got this problem or overcome it?

This has come up a lot on here. I thought they might have fixed it in CS4. At least they fixed the problem where fonts would not appear in the list if you activated (using a font management app) while Flash was open. Used to have to restart Flash.
In any case, Flash does treat fonts differently than other Adobe applications. I'm sure someone will jump on here and defend Flash but the truth is in the pudding. Loaded fonts do not always appear in Flash when they show up fine in the other apps.
I hope Adobe gets it together in CS5. Still waiting for them to fix the issue with font baselines shifting in FLA's between Mac and PC.
Best thing you can do is post a request:

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.

Format AVHCD not recognized in Adobe CS4

Hello
I have download the trial version of CS4 which I have updated in to 4.2.1 with the adobe updater.
I have a camcorder SR10 Sony for which I have record in AVHCD Full HD.
When I try to import my MTS file, Premiere tell me that the format is not recognized.
I want to try Adobe for video editing.
What I have done wrong ?
regards

As Ann points out, NOTHING related to MPEG (any sort) is supported by the trial version, due to licensing issues with the MainConcept MPEG CODEC. The full-paid version has full MPEG (and AVCHD) support, plus it has Encore, the authoring program. With the trial, the best test footage will be DV-AVI Type II.
If you go with the full-paid version, please uninstall the trial, run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 several times (maybe running a Registry cleaner afterwards), and then install and update your full-paid version of PrPro CS4. Otherwise, you will have other problems. The unistall, Clean Script, install order is VERY important. Do not omit a single step.
Good luck,

Captivate 4 not exporting to Flash CS4 correctly

When I export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4 it doesn't place the imported objects on their own timeline. Instead, it places each object into a movie symbol, which has its own timeline. The problem is that when I save it as a .swf in Flash and then I open it in After Effects none of the highlight boxes are visible.
As you know, After Effects does not see Flash symbols that are buried below the main timeline.
I opened up a project I worked on a year ago (with a different computer) and the Flash files had the exported Captivate items on the main timeline with the object on its own layer. Those files work fine in After Effects.
Can anyone tell me if they are having the same export issue with Captivate 4 not exporting its elements in Flash on the main timeline (as seen in the help file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582981-7fff. html)?
Thanks!

I found the solution here (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2004/09/export-captivate-movie-to-macromedia.html). I'll reprint the steps here:
1. Close Flash CS4 if it is open.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Captivate
4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
5. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash CS4\en\Configuration
Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers
7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
8. Open Flash CS4.
9. Create a New Flash Document. Save the document (or Flash may freeze when importing)
10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
11. Browse to and select the CP file.
12. Click OK.
Here is a comparison picture of the results. Without the steps above the imported Captivate assets will reside inside of a movie symbol (one for each slide). This is labeled "incorrect" in the image. I want each asset on a new layer in the root timeline. This is labeled "correct" in the image.
I want to go from Captivate to Flash to After Effects (because Captivate generated Flash files are unreadable in After Effects). For full disclosure, I used Captivate 3 in the steps above, but I hope this is a solution for Captivate 4 as well (I decided to stick with Captivate 3 because it worked in a project I used a year ago).

Not all fonts are recognized by Lightroom. Try a different font.

Certain installed fonts not appearing in flash

This has become a pretty frustrating experience. I'm running
XP and have installed 6 .otf fonts, from the Avenir family. Flash
MX 2004 and Flash 8 don't see all but the Light and Roman versions
of the font (they are the only ones that appear in the font menu).
Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop display all the fonts, however.
An associate suggested that sometimes Flash doesn't like the
names to be non-standard; in other words, it doesn't like "Heavy",
but prefers "Bold", etc. This seems to support the fonts not being
displayed in the Flash font menu, as they are
AvenirLTStd-Heavy.otf, AvenirLTStd-HeavyOblique.otf,
AvenirLTStd-LightOblique.otf and AvenirLTStd-Oblique.otf. The only
two being displayed in the font menu are AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf and
AvenirLTStd-Light.otf ("Roman" and "Light" are pretty traditional
names).
I've tried renaming the fonts to "Bold" and "italic", etc.,
but Windows still sees the original names. I've tried opening the
fonts in Notepad and changing all references (for example, all
"Heavy" to "bold"), but saving the font file (even if I add and
remove a space) makes it unreadable as a font (security issues, I
think).
One reason I think it's a naming issue, is I did try renaming
Heavy to Roman, and installed it, and Flash saw it as Roman, but it
had the Heavy characteristic. This work-around doesn't work,
however, as I need Roman, too (and renaming it Roman2 doesn't
work).
Is there any solution for this? I need access to all of the
Avenir font family, as it's for a branded project that uses Avenir
specifically.
Oh, and last but not least, I have the fonts installed on my
Mac, and Flash 8 and CS3 both see all the fonts, no problem.

It has nothing to do with font name itself. Also, by the way,
font being a system component,
can't be easily renamed in NotePad. You will need dedicated
font editing tool like Macromedia's
Fontographer.
Anyway, Flash simply does not support some fonts and font's
families. Unlike Other tools you brought
up, Flash is vector based and not catered to handle all kind
of fonts, but specific groups only. In
fact if you deal with more applications, you will realize
that it's a common issue. CorelDraw supports
literally any font, half of which won't never shop up in
Photoshop, then these that show up in photoshop,
half of it won't show up in Flash, and so on. You just can't
use all the fonts and it won't matter
whatever you change their names. It's all about the font and
its outlines and the way it is made.

Fonts, not beautiful like Flash???

I've noticed that text captions don't look smooth like text
created using Flash. They are closer to html fonts. I don't know if
it's lack of dithering or what. Does Captivate not have the same
kind of font smoothing capabilities as Flash?

I've found when resizing captions that are bullet lists, you
need to press Ctrl-A to make sure you have everything selected.
Then changing font size will resize the bullet points.
Just highlighting all the text by dragging the mouse doesn't
seem to pick up the bullet points (in Cap 3 anyway).
I think there is a work around to the bullet list/anti-alias
problem. I think you need to add a couple of "returns" at the end
of the bullet points, and then resize the caption so that you can't
see the extras at the bottom.

Fonts not recognized on a specific port

Hi,
We have a indesign server running as a service on two ports. When we try to process a indesign document on a 18383 port, it says certain fonts not available. But, if the same document is processed through 41000 port, fonts missing error doesn't come up.
On changing the port from 18383 to 42000, it worked fine. Is there any reason for the port not able to find the fonts in the system?
Thanks.

Hello,
Has anyone faced a similar problem before? We need to know the reason for this as if this happens in the future, we should be able to have the solution in hand.
Thanks

Certain fonts now available in Flash CS4

Some of my fonts, namely Trebuchet and the entire Swiss family do not show up as options in Flash.
I've also noticed this happens with Dreamweaver CS4 as well.
I do admit I moved all of my fonts to mostly one location so I'm wondering if I violated some ridiculous Adobe requirement.
Does anyone know where Adobe expect the fonts to be?
I'm on two Mac Pro's, one has Snow Leopard.
I moved all of my fonts to the user/Library/Fonts folder except for the system fonts.
Is there a preferred place to store fonts for Adobe apps?

i think flash uses your system fonts. if you change fonts available to your system, you change the fonts available to flash.
