Turning bold font to normal

hi,
i am working on a textbook in several languages. one of them is arabic. i ran into a great font in arabic, that can suit me well. the problem is that in it's normal mode he is too bold for me (it's truetype of course).
is there any way in indesign to thiner the font a bit. but in a way it will look perfect?
thanks
rafram

Try using other Arabic Fonts bundled with InDesign CS3-ME, perhaps Adobe Arabic or Winsoft font families -which includes multiple weights.
PLUS, there is plug-in for InDesign CS3-ME called TASMEEM Creative Edition for Arabic calligraphy, see the controls for Arabic font display....

I'm using the @font face to embed fonts on my site. Everytime I use a heading tag Firefox adds extra emphasis (making a bold font even bolder). How can I resolve this? The heading tag renders fine in Chrome/Safari.

Emails sent with normal font received in bold font; if I send to myself, same thing happens;

emails leave in standard font and sometimes return/received in bold font; this is random and does not follow a pattern; all else works fine; I use WXP on one pc and W7 on other pc

If the problem dont occur in Safe Mode check your addons, try disable one by one until the problem dont occur in normal mode:

One font turns bold and one disappears on export to PDF?

Hello
Why is it that when I'm export a particular InDesign file to PDF, one frame of text (which has the exact same font and style as other text in the document) ... turns bold?
There is another, different font too, which completely disappears!

Like I said, the entire document uses the exact same font throughout without glitches, so there is no logical reason for a little bit of it (at the bottom of one page) to suddenly just decide to be "bold" when it's set to regular like the rest of the Lucinda GrandE!
The font looks a little tiny bit bold in Indesign, so that must be where the problem began..(but why?)
I included two pictures, as requested. One, shows how it is in InDesign, and the second as it is in the PDF, which appears much bolder.
I didn't have a "pdf export dialogue box", which keeps coming up in my research... just File-->'Document Presets' or 'Adobe PDF presets'
I have mine set to 'print quality'
InDesign (bottom line of text looks bold, but it is set to regular)
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/coffeyville1975/indesignpicture.png
PDF (here it looks even bolder)
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a349/coffeyville1975/pdfpicture.png

The fonts all turned bold even in sites and even in mails for read and unread mails.

When I visit any sites, the fonts on my browser turns bold. Even when in my e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail), my read and unread mails/messages are both in bold. Why? What Should I do?

Such an error can indicate a problem with a missing or corrupted font.
You can try to run the System File Checker program to see if that fixes it.

Weird Bold-Font Substitution

Ever since I updated to 10.4.11 this morning, including the brand-new Safari 3.0.4, Safari has appeared to be font-substituting all bold Arial (or Helvetica?) fonts. The substitution almost looks like Arial Black. (Another poster had a similar problem, but not exactly the same.)
I've repaired permissions, trashed the Safari plist, and smashed the Mac OS X font cache, all to no avail. I don't have any Safari haxies.
What should I do?

I had the same problem since the update, bold fonts would sometimes show up as black, like on Google, all bold fonts would be Arial Black.
I managed to fix it by disabling Arial in Font Book (It turns out I had duplicates in the Arial font family) than restarting Safari and everything was back to normal.
So maybe try looking under All Fonts and open the Arial font and see if you have more than one of each type, try disabling any duplicates and any Arial Black duplicates.
Hope that helps because I know how annoying this problem is.

Bold font in Flash not showing in SWF

Hiya,
Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm not an expert with Flash.
I'm adapting an off the shelf mp3 player and would like to make some text bold - namely [see: http://www.stevedrake.net/music_09] the text that shows the current artist/song at the top.
This is dynamic text from an XML file. I've embedded the fonts [Verdana regular and bold - OpenType] in Flash CS5 but the bold won't display even though the special characters do display [Jónsi].

I know what you mean, the outlines embedded should be thicker because we "think" it's embedding the fonts as 2 separate classes. I don't think it's this simple internally. You can see in the font manager it groups fonts variants (regular/bold/italic all under the same font name). Internally it's actually keeping track.
This is actually behavior I don't mind. My example was more complex than it needed to be. I like when fonts just map properly and actually all you need to do is set the .bold flag and it will automatically use the bold version of the font that's embedded. That tells me they're internally linked.
e.g.:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useBold:Boolean = false;
// fonts
var gRegFont:Font = new GRegular();
// handler
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);
function handleClick(e:MouseEvent):void
    useBold = !useBold;
    // fix Flash's desire to mass-apply, set twice
    tf.bold = false;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 0, 16);
   // now handle bolding
tf.bold = useBold;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 17, myTLFTextField.length);
// TLFTextField init
var myTLFTextField:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
addChild(myTLFTextField);
myTLFTextField.x = 10;
myTLFTextField.y = 10;
myTLFTextField.width = 400;
myTLFTextField.height = 100;
myTLFTextField.embedFonts = true;
myTLFTextField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myTLFTextField.text = "This is my text: This is affected by format";
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(gRegFont.fontName,16,0x0,false);
myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf,0,myTLFTextField.length);
I don't even need to set the .font property at all. Internally it's linked and that works fine. I'm not even instantiating the bolded version, it's precompiled and available. I also forgot to set embedFont=true and some antialiasing but it works if you do or don't anyhow.
Edit:
Haha I see you were editing your post too. I think we're both on the same page seeing we said the same exact thing. Although I do need to set the non-bold TextFormat like I did setting from char 0-16 or the entire TextField (or TLFTextField) goes to bold. Setting both formats every time fixes the issue. I don't even need to keep setting a font, it's already saved in the formatting object. I just turn bold on and off.

Acrobat X Converts Non-Bold Font to Bold From Word Doc

I had used Acrobat 8 at work for over three years with no problems converting any MS Office documents to PDF files. I've purchased Acrobat X Pro for my use at home and now every time I try to convert a Word file (either a doc or a docx), it changes the font on the first page to bold and leaves the second page normal, as the original font in the Word file. I'm not using an especially unusual font (tried it with both Californian and Antiqua, with the same results) and the font shows as embedded in the Acrobat properties, so I don't think that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, is this just one of those "improvements" that renders the software useless, or is it possible this is something they hope to fix soon?

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the font for changes". In the Word file, only items that are supposed to be bold show as bold; in Adobe, the first page shows entirely as bold and the properties show that I have both regular, italic, and bold fonts - which is correct, because the original Word file has both regular, italic, and bold fonts in it - just not where they are supposed to be (at least on the first page). Second page is fine. And, as I mentioned, "converting it from Word 2007 using Save As PDF" - that *is* using the plug in. My point is that whether using the Word PDF plug in or converting directly using Acrobat X created the problem. I say "created" because this morning, it seems to be working fine. No rhyme. No reason. Not doing anything differently. I do know that I've seen a similar problem in a PDF letter I received from a colleague who was using Acrobat X (while I was still using 8). She reviewed the original Word file and, like mine, it was fine, it was just in converting that the problem arose. So I've decided that the solution involves rebooting one's 'droid. It seems that 21st century solutions are the same as they were a quarter of a century ago. Oh joy.
Thanks to all for the input, though.

Adobe Form - Print choice of bold or not bold font

We have an Adobe form that prints sales order line items that are followed by their scheduling data (if any). So, each order line item could be followed with one or more scheduling line items or none. Example:
(Order line)        10      9055450            7,000       EA          <other data>
(Schedule lines                Expected Ship Date:         5,000     EA   05/30/2011
    for the order line)         Expected Ship Date:         2,000     EA   07/16/2011
This is working fine using a subform but now we want to print the scheduling line items either as bold or not bold depending on some logic. So, we want this:
(Order line)        10      9055450            7,000       EA          <other data>
(Schedule lines                Expected Ship Date:         5,000     EA   05/30/2011
    for the order line)         Expected Ship Date:       2,000     EA   07/16/2011
We have an indicator set for each scheduling line item that indicates if the schedule line is to be printed as bold or not bold (schedules-bold_line = u2018Xu2019).
Is there any way to override the font settings in the Layout using Script Editor?
Weu2019ve tried using Script Editor (at a upper level subform) to set the presence (hidden/visible) of two different subforms (one to print as bold and one not bold) but that printed both subforms.
Weu2019ve tried using Alternative nodes (true/false) that check the bold line indicator. This works but it prints the wrong data because there are direct binding references to multiple levels of repeating data. That is, instead of printing the schedule lines for order line item 10, it prints the schedule line items for order line item 20.
(Order line)        10      9055450            7,000       EA          <other data>
(Schedule line                Expected Ship Date:         1,000     EA   06/01/2011
    for the next order line)
How would I use relative binding in Alternative nodes?
Is there a better method to accomplish this task?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Radhika - Thank you so much for your answer! You helped me find the solution. I ended up using FormCalc and this is the code that worked in the Ready Layout event of the EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform :
data.BODY_PAGE.TABLE.ITEM_VALUES.ZLINE.TEXTSUBFORM.EXPECTEDSHIPDATE::ready:layout - (FormCalc, both)
if ( $.BOLD_LINE_IND[*] == "X" ) then
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "bold"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "bold"
else
$.ShipQty[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.ShipQty[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
$.DelvDate[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.UOM[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].font.weight = "normal"
$.PlantName[*].caption.font.weight = "normal"
endif
The EXPECTEDSHIPDATE subform is bound to the Schedules table that contains ShipQty, etc. The BOLD_LINE_IND field contains the value that toggles the print between bold and normal.
The key to making this work was to correctly format the condition and code and to find the right event to place the code in.
Thanks again for your help!

Don't use bold font in file names

I use Bridge in detail view, and the image names are in bold font in that view. When you click on an image name to edit the name, it resizes, which is annoying: every time I click on a name, I click at the point where I want to insert or begin selecting text, and when the font goes from bold to normal, this point moves.

Thank you, Jim, for the fact that Bridge in CS3 did away with the bold font for file names.

Changing Table defaults to Font to Normal, and Align-Vertical to Top - DW 5 (kind of a repost)

Hello,
This is pretty much a reposting of my last 2 questions...
In DW 5, trying to change Table default settings to
- Normal font (right now default is Bold)
- Vertical Alignment to Top (current default is middle) (so that text and lists will start at the top and fill down, like an ordinary document or table in Word)
I have multiple columns across the screen, different categories of events, news, resources, that I will be updating over time.
Ideally I would like to be able to 'simply' type and update the listings as needed (including bolding, indenting, the occasional image), just like in a document. I know this will involve tables, especially when it comes to 'indenting' text under a heading.
Updating a website. My in-progress work-up is here - http://www.wnytrauma.org/index33.html - (I know the coding is probably a mess, but I'm an old dog and this is a new trick).
Thank you,

If you can't find a stylesheet named outline-table-cells.css, it might be a name inserted by my Firebug.
In any case, try adding a rule with these properties in any css that your page uses:
table td, table th {
font-weight: normal;
vertical-align: top;
Note: The default font weight for a table cell (td) is normal
The default font weight for a table header cell (th) is bold.
If you were to use td instead of th you would not need the font-weight: normal property to override the default

Bolded fonts only in Firefox - how to normalize it?

My problem is the bolded font: before view - http://i.imgur.com/6FlBHZs.png, after view - http://i.imgur.com/cxaRhtZ.png
I want to return the normal view of the fonts in the websites. This problem appears only in Firefox.

Are you zooming those pages. because that can cause Firefox to use a bold font if you zoom too much?

How can I prevent sites displaying in bold font in versions of FF later than 3.6?

Many sites (google, gmail, wikipedia to name a few) are appearing in bold font when they should not be. This started for me in FF4, and has persisted in FF5 and now FF6. I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I've seen many replies to questions about bold font problems telling people to reinstall, e.g. arial as the problem is corrupted fonts on their system. I've tried reinstalling several fonts (arial, verdana, tahoma, times new roman...) and it doesn't solve the problem. Also, if I reinstall FF3.6, the problem goes away, so it seems to be an issue with FF and not my machine.
I've also tried running FF6 in safe mode, with addons disabled, and restoring the default settings. None of this has helped.
I should add that I have another machine running FF6 with the same addons, but with Windows 7 x86 - all pages display correctly. Is this a known issue for FF4+ on 64-bit systems?

Thanks for replying. I'm using exactly the same profile as I did in 3.6, and reinstalling 3.6 does solve the problem. I'd rather use the latest version though.
I've just checked Tools > Options > Content > Advanced of the two machines side by side, and they're identical. The 32-bit one is fine, and the 64-bit one isn't.

How can i take out the bold fonts from webpage?

Hello,
My website homepage is all in bold fonts and after trying everything i thought to solve the problem, i cant find a way to un-bold the font.
This the page i am referring http://silentdisco.de/
Hope you could help... I have this situation for some time and i really dont know what i could do to solve it.
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Start by removing the inline styles from your HTML code. You've got quite a few of them.
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-size: 20px;"></span>
CSS styles belong in your style sheet.
