True Type Problems

Has anyone had trouble using or installing True Type fonts. I need a lot of different fonts and i can get True Type fonts for free. Anything to watch out for?

On the other hand....
There are places you can get quality fonts for free. The Font Diner kind of specializes in retro style fonts. While most of their collection is not free, they do have a page of freebies (click on "Free Silverware").
You really have to look around to find good fonts that are free. Places like www.macfonts.com point you to all kinds of useless sites. By useless, I mean the fonts aren't worth the time they take to download.
But a good TrueType font should give you no trouble. They are supported by OS X.

Problem with True Type font

I have a Windows True Type font (Palatino Linotype, purchased directly from Linotype) that I use in my PowerPoint presentations in order to provide compatibility with my benighted PC-based clients. I just installed Leopard (a Christmas present from my family!), and this font is not working properly in Word.
Two letters are bad: i and j. There is extra space inserted after the letter i whether upper or lower case. There is no space around the letter j: if I type 10 consecutive j's, I see only one.
It was working fine in Tiger. It works fine in Excel, PowerPoint, and Mail (i.e., it displays correctly and prints correctly). The error only occurs in Word and persists when I send the file to the printer, and also persists if I print to PDF or Preview. The error is visible in all layouts of Word.
I checked out 10-12 other fonts, including several other TTF fonts, and they are all okay. I also tried moving the font from my user Library to the System Library, and taking it out of the folder that it came in, but the effect is the same.
I have the latest version of Word (11.3.8). I have updated my initial install to 10.5.1. I do not have any special drivers loaded. My machine is pretty much plain vanilla Apple.
I suspect that this is either a Word problem or a Linotype problem, but neither of those vendors are usually of much help, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to assist.

If anyone has been able to resolve this please let me know. Thanks. -Derryl
If you haven't done so already, it's important to ask yourself here
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word/topics
so at least the MS experts that hang out there know about the problem

Any problem with replacing system true type fonts with postscript?

I want to replace the Times true type (d.font) font in the systems fonts folder with a Times Postscript font. Will this cause any problems? Are there any system true type fonts that can't be replaced with postscript fonts?

You should not deal with fonts inside /System/Library/Fonts/. Your system may not be able to boot!

How to print true type font in smartform with ECC6

hi,expert:
I want to use true type font "Comic Sans MS.ttf".
I upload this font file by SE73 named ZTT2I.
In SE73.. select the Radio button "Font Families" And click on the "True type Font Installation" button. click the font attribute ITALIC。
Our print device is LP01 and driver is CNSAPWIN
when I create a new style in smartform using the font ZTT, in preview window the font still like other font.
Our system is IDES ECC6, SAP_BASIS SAPKB70014
Now when I create smartfrom in language EN adn logon with language EN,it can print correct style of that font.
But if the smartform is base on language ZH or logon with language ZH, the output is not correct.
why? How to solve it?
how can I solve this problem?
thaks a lot

Hi,
Is the problem that uploaded true type font ZTT is not used when language is ZH? Did you update the chinese version of the style associated with the smartform? There is a separate style for each language version. So you need to log on in Chinese language and update the style with new paragraph, character formats. Then you need to activate the style and smartform for ZH langauge also.

Aidan

True Type Fonts in Java

Hi all
I searched through the forum and found some threads with the same problem but never a solution attached so here is my question:
I'm currently trying to use a True Type Font in Java. I installed the font under windows and it works fine in e.g. Word, but when I try to use it in Java all I can see are "rectangles". I'm not sure if the problem lies in the font itself or if it is a problem of Java. The fonts are named "Fughetta" and "Toccata" and can be found here: http://www.efn.org/~bch/aboutfonts.html. He is a code snippet I'm using to test the font:
public void setFonts(Graphics g)
        if (f != null) {
            return;
        f = new Font("Fughetta", Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, 26);
        System.out.println(f);
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        setFonts(g);
        String s1 = "1234567890��!\"�$%&/(()=?`";
        String s2 = "qwertzuiop�+asdfghjkl��#yxcvbnm,.-<";
        String s3 = "QWERTZUIOP�*ASDFGHJKL��'YXCVBNM;:_>";
        String s4 = "1��{[]\\}@�~�|";
        g.setFont(f);
        g.drawString(s1, 10, 30);
        g.drawString(s2, 10, 70);
        g.drawString(s3, 10, 110);
        g.drawString(s4, 10, 150);
    }All help is appreciated ;)

Hy, Thanks for your sollution, but now I can't use this kind of approach.
I need to show a Bar Code Font inside a JTable cell, so I created my CellRenderer, in which I tried to change the font to my "Code EAN13" True Type font.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
            Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
             Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
             if (column == CollectInfoTableModel.CODBAREPRODUS_INDEX ) {
                     Font barCodeFont = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 36);
                     c.setFont(barCodeFont);
}This doesn't work, it just prints some strange characters.
I tried your sollution, but when I make :
Graphics2D g2D= (Graphics)c.getGraphics();i keep getting g2D = null.
What can I do ?
Is there a way to obtai a valid Grapics object on which to draw the glyphVector on ?

Windows True Type font fine in Font Book but not in some apps

I got a Windows True Type font from a guy having some issues with it when printing website on Windows XP and I thought I'd try the font on Mac OS X 10.4.4.
It imports fine into Font Book and previews fine. When I opened up TextEdit the font can be seen in the list of fonts, but when one selects it changes to the Monaco font instead of the "real" font seen in Font Book.
In Word the font don't show up at all but in Photoshop it seems to work fine.
The font is validated fine according to Font Book.
How come it behaves like this?

Thanks for your reply.
"OCR-A BT" is the name of the font.
The origin I don't know about. I just got it from a guy I barely know.
I know there can be various problems with fonts. Just thought it was interesting that Font Book validated and showed it fine, but still it didn't seem to be all healthy since it doesn't work in all app.

When opening DIR files I get a long delay while Director "Builds True Type Fonts"

Running 11.5 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8
When opening DIR files I get a long delay while Director "Builds True Type Fonts"
Anyone know how to work around this?
I've got all the fonts in my library and embedded in Director. (Do I need to dump them from my DIR? Dump and reinstall?)

Two bits of advice:
1) Pare down your code to no more than 30-50 lines. Enough to compile and show the problem, but not so much as to make our eyes bleed, and for no one to want to read your post or help you.
2) You would be wise not to state that your problem is "urgent". Even if it is urgent to you, realize that it is not urgent to us. Many here take offense to this as it implies to them that a) the poster thinks that his post is more important than everyone else's, and b) that the poster wants to put pressure on the volunteers who come here to help on their own free time. Just a friendly word of advice.
I'll be happy to help when you've posted a reasonable amount of code. Good luck!

Why Premiere Title don´t see my new True Type fonts?

I´ve installed several new true type fonts but Premiere´s Title don´s see them. What can I do to fix it?
Thanks.

Ann,
I think that I missed something in your commets. Please help me understand. On my workstation, I've got over 9K Fonts. These are in my C:\Fonts\PS_Fonts, \\TT_Fonts and \\OTF_Fonts folders. The only ones that show up in any program are the ones that are "installed" in my system. I cannot "test drive" any of the non-installed in any program, that I know of, except, of course, Extensis Suitcase.
What am I missing? Maybe, I'm about to learn something really new and neat?
Thanks,
Hunt
PS to the OP, do you have a list of the Fonts, that are not showing up? I'd be curious to see what they are. I've seen times that some of the Asian Fonts did not show, even when properly installed. There is a "patch" from MS for those, but cannot find the link. I believe that some Arabic Fonts also need a special "patch" from MS. Do any of yours fall into these catagories?

Junk Characters are coming in the Print Preview of True Type Font

Hi
I am facing one issue. Here I have installed on one of the True type font of Gujarati (one of Regional language for India) language.When I see Print preview using LP01 Output device (which has SWIN Device Type) these true type font coming as Junk characters. But when I take print it is coming perfectly Ok. I want to know is there any setting required to maintain for Output device to see Print Preview in Gujarati also ?
I feel that when System is generating output for Preview it is ignoring true type font..
If there is any solution kindly let me know
Regards
Bhavin Shah

Hi,
Try creating the spool using the unicode device type SWINCF(see note #812821) and check the result.

Type problem with InDesign, especially CC.

Hi. I'm experiencing a type problem with InDesign, especially CC. When I open a type box, the cursor appears in the top right hand corner. I can correct that by selecting 'range left' but when I paste or type in my copy, the final period of each paragraph appears at the beginning of the last line. This is drivning me up the wall as I can find a way of correcting it.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a MENA (Middle East North Africa, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, …) version? Then restting woul not help.
If not, you have to create a new document with the same Paragraph, Character and Object Styles (name should be identical) and import them into the other document to overwrite these style oddities.
If you are working without styles? Create correct new styles and apply them.
I doubt that resetting preferences will change here anything as paragraph properties from any existing document will not be changed when working with new preferences.

How to use a non-standard true type font that won't be changed by the native environment on others' computers when they open the document?

We are using a non-standard true type font (Zurich Ex BT) when creating a .pdf document but when others view it, the font is changed on their computers. How do we use this font and keep it from being changed when others look at it?

This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.
