Hi, is anyone else having trouble packaging fonts in InDesign CC, from a windows 8 machine?

Best I can suggest is trash the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

Trouble packing InDesign files (CS6)

Recently I've been having trouble packing my InDesign files, getting this message (translated from Swedish): "Failed to copy the necessary linked files" and the document is then not packed at all. Any suggestions what I can do about that? All links seem to be ok and the documents seem to be ok otherwise.

Check for illegal characters in file names. “/“ seems to be the biggest culprit. Very long file paths can also cause it.

Using Sinhala Unicode Fonts with Indesign

Hello,
We are having trouble using Sinhala Unicode Font with Indesign. We require this to covert content to the EPUB format.
Siyabas - how to install Sinhala Unicode
Do you know if there is a Plug-in for the Sinhala Unicode Font? Or is there someone in the community working on it?
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your post. We want to convert to reflow able text, which can include illustrations (For Example - Children's Books).
We tried FM Abbhaya Font as it is easy to read and using a traditional Sinhala keyboard input method.
For Some reason we cannot get this input to be recognized by Adobe Indesign, to convert to an Epub format.
We tried the open font on Windows, but it means selecting each character from a table. As a small publisher it is not practical.
In fact the ideal path for us will be to convert our printed books to Epubs using OCR.
Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your time.

Using Adobe Thai Font in InDesign

Hi
I am having trouble with using Adobe Thai Font on text copied from PDF into InDesign(CS3). When typing with Adobe Thai Font in InDesign it shows as a 'normal' font like Arial. When copying from PDF to InDesign the text appears as glyphs almost like Windings.
How do I get the Adobe Thai font to use properly?
Hop you can help me.
Kind Regards
Anne

It's not clear what you're trying to do. As Peter said, typing Roman
characters will get you Roman characters. The Thai font won't translate.
If you set up Thai input, then you can type Thai, or you can just use
the Glyphs palette.
But you mentioned something about copying from a PDF. What you get from
a PDF depends on how the font used in the PDF was encoded. Does the PDF
use Adobe Thai? You might get better results saving out RTF from the PDF.

My iMac has trouble loading fonts (and speakers) on startup.

Some mornings my brand new work iMac (running 10.7.2) has trouble loading fonts on startup. Sometimes the speakers don't appear to be connected/active either. Both problems go away for the day once I've restarted the computer once or twice. Any ideas on why this is?

Ok, ready?
1. How many fonts do you have?
2. How did you install them?
3. Which version of InDesign?
4. Your speakers: If external, is there a Lion update for them?
5. Have you checked your preferences for "Sound?

Changing the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars?

Is it possible to change the size of fonts in InDesign's menus and toolbars? I'd love for the Control Panel at the top to be a bit easier to read.

Thanks Bob, didn't see it anywhere but figured it was worth asking. I think the size is a little biased toward people with better vision than me but I guess I'll have to live with that.

How do I use a Hebrew font in indesign?

How do I use a Hebrew font in Indesign?

You will need either the Middle Eastern version of InDesign, or a plugin like World Tools for the English version of ID. If you are a Creative Cloud member, you can just download the ME version by setting your langauge correctly in (I think) the Creative Cloud app. If you own a perpetual license for some earlier version of CS, then it's not so easy, and World Tools is (in my limited opinion) probably your best bet.

Bengali Unicode fonts in InDesign CS6

Dear InDesign Gurus,
How do I type using "Bengali" (Unicode) fonts in InDesign CS6? I've tried to copy/paste the text from an existing word document on to an InDesign document, but it shows up with square blocks! I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64Bit OS.
Is this even possible? Would someone please provide me some detail steps?
Many thanks in advance.
Simon

Cyndee,
As I said, I'm fairly new in ID, would you kindly tell me the steps so that I know what to do?
Ellis,
I am working with a ID Magazine template. Obviously the template has blocks and pre-written text inside those blocks. If I try to delete the text (without deleting the BOX + contents within) and paste the Bengali text from some other document, some of the characters do not stay in place. Whereas, if I just create a text box and paste the text inside the new box, texts show properly.
So my question to you Gurus is... how can keep the template I'm using and just replace the text within text box and save time. Would someone plz guide me?
Thanks for your professional help!

Replace document fonts in InDesign CS6, js

Hi,
I need to replace document fonts in InDesign. I get the existing fonts with following script, but not sure how to replace let's say Helvetica Regular with Aria Regular:
for(var counter = 0; counter < document.fonts.length; counter++){
            //If the <fontFamily> element for this font family does not already exist in the XML, add it.
            if(counter > 0){
fontFamilyName = document.fonts.item(counter).fontFamily;
                    fontFamilyName.toString().replace(/\s*$TT$$/gi, "");
                    alert (fontFamilyName);
                    fontName = document.fonts.item(counter).name;
            alert (fontName);
            fontName = fontName.split("\t");
            fontStyle = fontName[1];
            if(fontStyle == "BoldBold"){
                fontStyle = "Bold";
            fontName = fontName[0];
            alert (fontName);
Thank you.
Yulia

Yuliart please mark as correct
Virender,
I didn't put in the font style because it wasn't asked for but if you are finding both the font and the style as in your example then you don't need to do a separate line for the style
Just use
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Arial\tRegular";
I.e. the font name seperate from its style by a tab \t
You only need to use a separate line fontStyle if you are looking for that style irrespective of which font the style is applied to although some might argue to use it for readability.

How to find font in Indesign, which is in Windows Font Folder?

Hi
I need to use Monotype Sorts font.
This font was not in the Indesign list of fonts.
I bought the font and downloaded it to a file on my hard drive.
It is called Monotype_sorts.ttf
I then went to Windows Font Folder in Cpanel and installed it.
I then followed advice I found on the web and copied the font to the Adobe/Indesign CS5/ Fonts folder.
However I still can't see the font within Indesign in order to use it.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I need to try and work this out very quickly.
I'm on Windows Vista.
Many thanks liz

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
... I then went to Windows Font Folder in Cpanel and installed it.
I then followed advice I found on the web and copied the font to the Adobe/Indesign CS5/ Fonts folder.
That was some bad advice you got there. Indesign is fully able to use all of your installed fonts -- the ones in Windows. Only a very few specialized types of fonts that cannot be installed in Windows need to go into ID's "private" Fonts folder. (And another reason would be you want to keep your Windows system 'clean'.)
The problem may very well be that InDesign now sees two versions of the same font, and refuses to let you select either, just to make things not too complicated. So delete the font in one of your locations.
If that doesn't work either, read this thread on how to reset InDesign's internal font database:

Cannot Embed font into InDesign PDF

I am on ID CS5 Win7 and when exporting to PDF smallest file size get this message. I bought the font form Comicraft and used it before In Ilustrator without probolem, but this is my first time using the font in InDesign.
Now I am just trying to send a pdf for client review, and can probably find a way to bitmap the pages font. My main concern will be how can I make a pdf-X for final printing?

Mike Gondek2 wrote:
Comicraft replied back sayng that their fonts can be embedded. I believe my problem is that I converted the font to PC and Fontlab turned that option on by default for a .ttf font. Unfortunately looking into their liscening agreements I cannot convert their fonts to another platform, so will have to convert this ID file over to mac and work on my slower older mac system to finish off this client approved job.
I was surprised to find out that Comicraft allows
Once a design is approved for release I need to send this to a printer to print.
Can I?
Send a copy of a font to a printer only so they can image the file? This is what most all printers request, only very few accept PDF-X.
Embed the font into a PDF, and send the PDF?
Outline the font and send this legally (hate to do this cause file size gets so large, and occasionally I have them do small type changes).
RESPONSE: Any of those options are fine. If you send the fonts, please remind them to delete them when the job is finished.
thanks!
This probably differs per vendor, but wanted to share what I found out.
That's seems in direct contradiction to the information on the FAQ page. I did see on the site that they would sell you a version for the new platform for 20% of your original cost -- I'd opt to get an OpenType version.

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

Why can't I get open type features to work properly with an open type font on InDesign CS5.5?

I installed a very complete set of styles of an opentype font with Font Book – Mac OS X 10.9.4 – but when I tried to format a sample text on InDesign CS5.5 I noticed that I could not use the opentype features on the Open Type menu as I usually do.
Could anyone help me, please?

It's ffScala Sans, but has separate files for small caps, figures, etc.
I was trying to use small caps, lining figures and superscripts when I
noticed none of the OT features are available.

I want to take Arabic fonts in InDesign

I want to take Arabic fonts in InDesign. I have the version of InDesign CS 3 (Germany). The program rotates the letters. What should I do? Do I need a different version?

Hi Steffi,
There is no way to make the german version of InDesign CS3 supporting Arabic. At that time, there were 2 differents version of ID, the "international" one and a specific for Arabic & Hebrew support ("Middle Eastern" version) developped by WinSoft Intl in France.
Today, the current version is InDesign CS6. The version of ID shipped in the middle east has the Arabic support embedded. So, it would be ideal for you. As alternative, you could add "ScribeDoor" to any InDeisgn. ScribeDoor is a plugin developped by WinSoft Intl which brings the Arabic & Hebrew support into InDesign: http://store.winsoft-international.com/products/product/winsoft/scribedoor/scribedoor-for- indesign.html
Hope this helps
