Type 1 fonts installed in windows 7 are unavailable in CS5

I'm using Windows 7 with Creative Suite Production Premium CS5.
My company recently updated the fonts in use on our website which we puchased and installed on our machines. The fonts are Type 1 fonts and as far as I can tell have been installed correctly with both components of the fonts being installed in the directory. The fonts are available in all other applications but Creative Suite. Both recomended methods of font installation have been tried to solve the problem. (Right click "install" and drag/drop .pfb/.pfm files to font directory) Other font types I have installed have worked fine in CS5.
Adobe help chat and Call In Customer support weren't able or willing to offer any help or support.
Can anyone help resolve this?
Thanks

You don't need .inf files for the .pfm/.pfb files combination to work properly in Windows 7. In fact, .inf files are not used in any way by Windows 7 Type 1 font handling.
I have plenty of Type 1 fonts installed in Windows 7 64-bit without any problems and certainly no .inf files. The normal means of installing Type 1 fonts in this environment is to navigate to the directory containing the .pfm/.pfb file pairs and right click on the icon(s) representing the .pfm files. You have a choice of either Install or Install as Shortcut. In the former case, Windows copies both the .pfm and the corresponding .pfb files to the Windows\fonts directory and makes the appropriate registry entries to effectively install the fonts. In the latter case, only a linkage is made to these files and the equivalent registry entries are made.
Perhaps the OP is not running with Administrator privileges or has registry problems on their system.

Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 professional

Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 pro, what do you need to do to make them availabe in the program

If you have Word installed, make a simple PDF from Word that has text set in Tahoma, then print to the 'Adobe PDF' printer. Open the PDF file you just created, then hit Ctrl-D. In the Fonts tab you will see what font the PDF file want to use and what font it actually uses.

Did a fresh install of Windows Vista and Premiere CS5 and now Premiere is buggy!

Hi everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS5 on my quad core system editing AVCHD clips just fine and then I had to do a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium. I then did a fresh install of Premiere Pro CS5 on a separate hard drive and opened up one of my AVCHD projects. Now, for some reason, the same AVCHD projects that played fine before are now jittery and also show blocky artifacts. The jitter seems to be a constant jitter every second and the blocky artifacts seem to happen mostly when the subject in the clip is moving. I know the problem isn't in the original clip from my GH-1 camera because if I play the original clip that is on my hard drive, it plays just fine so, it has to be Premiere CS5 that is causing the clips to play all jerky on the timeline. Can someone please help me solve this problem? One more thing, when I reinstalled Premiere CS5, I installed the latest update from Adobe. I didn't have that update installed before when the clips played fine. Could that update be the culprit? Thanks.
My clips were recorded using a Panasonic GH1 HDSLR camera and are 1080/24p (progressive).

Font installed on Windows but doesn't show in Photoshop

I have Arial Narrow Bold etc. installed in the Windows fonts folder but it still doesn't show in Photoshop CS6. Arial Narrow shows but not the bold version. It shows up in InDesign, however.

Where can I download missing "Minion Pro" and "Myriad Pro" type fonts?

For some reason I have fewer Minion Pro & Myriad Pro type fonts on my Windows 7 home computer than I do on my Windows 7 work computer, and I'm trying to do the same commercial project with both of them.
I have subscribed to Creative Cloud for over a year, and am wondering, can I download them from Adobe?
There are lots of free font sites on the web, but are they Legal, Safe, and Simple?

Look for a "Saved Fonts" folder in Program Files\Common Files\ Adobe

Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN font file extension not showing

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer.
I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever.
I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:- ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even attempting to install it may corrupt your operating system installation and its ability to properly render Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The last version of Windows for which ATM was at all compatible was Windows XP, 32-bit only!
Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, even Type 1 fonts, on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the font file for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the .PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the Install option.
The font file you are trying to install is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.

CS3: Fonts missing even though installed in Windows\Fonts

Fonts are "missing" when opening a CS2 Indesign document in InDesign CS3.
For example, a document uses Adobe Caslon Pro Bold. Under InD CS2, this font was located in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. That directory is now empty (except for some additional fonts that weren't part of CS2). I guess uninstalling CS2 cleaned out this directory.
When opening the document in CS3, I get a message about a missing font. The only available Caslon face is "Regular".
There are 5 Adobe Caslon faces installed in Windows\Fonts (regular, bold, italic, bold italic, semibold, semibold italic). But CS3 doesn't recognize anything but "regular".
I had made backup copies of all Adobe fonts that I had installed with CS2, so I copied those backups to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. Now InD CS3 finds them.
Has anyone else had this problem? What is the solution? I have re-installed CS3 but this doesn't fix it.

First up, ATM. ATM4.0 (Light or Deluxe) is not supported under W2K or XP and should be uninstalled. After that, the 4.1.2 patch should be run, which just edits the registry, since removing ATM leaves Windows unable to install Type 1 fonts. Uninstalling ATM4.1 on any Windows platform prior to Vista (which it's not supported under) causes PFM files to be left unassociated with the system font applet preview page. The patch fixes that too. These are the only problems with having ATM on XP and they're usually easily fixed.
My first step would be to remove ATM because you're running an unsupported version.
> I did not try the current "light ATM" release because the release text on the Adobe site did not suggest the necessity to upgrade.
Well, that version of ATM will not state anywhere that it supports XP (given that it predates XP), so the prudent course would be not to install unsupported software until you're sure it will do no harm. And entering the terms "ATM" and "XP" into Adobe's search engine quickly turns up advice not to install any version prior to 4.1.
> Is there any reason one should only use OT fonts in ID?
If you're working cross-platform (as you are), then OT is definitely the preferred option, but ID can utilise Type 1 and TrueType fonts with no problems.
I have most of the BT Futura fonts you listed, though I only have the T1 versions to hand, though I could dig out the TT ones and might. But there are a couple I'm not clear on from your list: BT (do you mean you have BT Regular or Roman and BT Book installed and accessible in FrameMaker?); Medium/Extra Bold Cond (is this medium condensed and extra bold condensed, because you have also listed MdCn BT?); TMed (what's the full name of this?).
Apart from those three, all the fonts showed up in ID, once I had deactivated the TT versions that came with Windows. Most were listed as variants under Futura BT, including the roman of LtCn BT and MdCn BT. The last two fonts showed up as separate entries in the font list, but only the itals variant, as you saw.
There is a bug in ID that leaves it sometimes unable to distinguish between regular and book weights, but the issue here seems to me to be one of strange style links in the BT fonts, not anything to do with ID.
To summarise, remove ATM, check you don't have the Windows TT versions active, and then check all the variant drop-down menus. Then report back here.

New MBP users using XP via Boot Camp - Can you install Open Type Fonts?

Have any of the new MacBook Pro owners that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
After having troubleshooted with Adobe and Microsoft, and after having reinstalled Windows over 6 times on two different new MacBook Pros, I am starting to believe that this issue affects all new MacBook Pros.
For some points, could someone please try to install an Open Type Font in Windows XP, and let me know if you are successful?
Thank you!

I had the exact same problem and *finally solved it*. I am running Windows XP Professional on a new MacBook Pro via BootCamp as well. Although its totally contradictory to logic, you need to use True Type fonts. I understand, you open your fonts folder and all the standard fonts are Open Type. We had purchased a font family that I had running on my Dell which used the exact same operating system. It was Open Type and it worked fine. I got a new MacBook Pro and was transfering everything over, including all of my fonts. The fonts that we purchased as or had converted to Open Type for me (the only windows guy working on graphics related stuff) were not loading on the new machine (MacBook Pro) even though they worked fine on the old (Dell). When I tried to install them, I kept getting an error that read something like "unable to install font. it may be corrupt, contact font vendor." I spent about a week with the font vendor trying to figure it out. no luck. One day I tried install a folder full of other fonts, mixed versions of True Type and Open Type, and all of the True Type installed and the Open Type did not. I got my hands on a True Type version of the font I was struggling with and now it works fine.
It makes no sense. Every person who seemingly knows way more about this type of stuff seems to think that this is not possible, and that I'm not smart enough to understand what I did. They will tell you that there is nothing different about running windows on a Mac than on a PC, in fact it should run better on a Mac, blah blah blah (not really true in actual practice as far as my experiences go). But this worked for me and I have no problems with it anymore. Good luck.

Boot Camp users using XP via Boot Camp, Can you install Open Type Fonts? 2

I have written this post as a continuation of the following archived thread, which has never been solved.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1778497&start=0&tstart=0
Have any of the Boot Camp 3.0 users that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
From the many complaints and troubleshooting in my original thread, we know that this is definitely an issue with Boot Camp, which prevents users from installing Open Type Fonts, specifically from Adobe.
Has anyone else experienced this with Boot Camp 3.0?
Thanks!

The fix for this can be found here:
http://www.thomasphinney.com/2008/12/no-font-instal/
It's a simple registry edit. It resolved the issue for us on both nVidia and ATI iMacs running XP in Bootcamp.
Here's the relevant excerpt:
+Nvidia says the problem occurs on Windows XP only, and Vista users are unaffected, but at least one Vista user has reported they had this problem and the fix resolved it. It affects multiple NVidia cards, and some (unspecified) ATI cards. The fix, posted by David Ingraham in a horribly lengthy thread on the Adobe User Forums, and in a post by “PixelNinja” on the NVidia forums is this:+
+— start of email from HP —Good news. Nvidia has identified the problem and provided a fix. The way it was explained to me, Windows expects the device driver to be a certain size (maximum). In this case, the nvidia driver is slightly larger than expected. A simply registry entry will resolve the issue in WinXP (the issue doesn’t occur in Vista).To resolve the problem, do the following:+
+Open the registry editor (regedit)+
+Navigate to+
+HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management+
+Add a new REG_DWORD entry called SessionImageSize with a value (decimal) of 20+
Reboot
+The Type 1 fonts should now open/install without any problems.+
+— End of HP email —+

Thank you very much!

Experiencing the same from a fresh install of Windows XP on Boot Camp 2.1.
Tried 2 different scenarios. Installed Windows XP, Boot Camp Drivers, Open Type Fonts. Received an not a valid font file when trying to install. Installed Windows XP and then the Open Type Fonts. All fonts registered and accessed by the operating system without the Boot Camp Drivers. Installed the Boot Camp Drivers and checked the fonts, received error messages accessing fonts.
Pretty sure its the Boot Camp Drivers that are causing the problems with Windows and the fonts. Hopefully there is an updat to address this issue.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

[SOLVED] Help Required Installing True Type Fonts

I am currently using Xfce4.8 and have installed xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-75dpi and type 1 fonts.
Now the fonts in xfce are starting to look good, menu fonts on firefox look good but many webpages
are using ugly non aliased fonts.
I would like to include the ttf-ms-fonts and have found the folowing wiki page:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13030
I have installed the dependemcies
fontconfig xorg-font-utils xorg-fonts-encodings
and also just one font:

I am unsure how to install the verdana font so any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thanks Guys, I am now having trouble with makepkg
I have unzipp ttf-ms-fonts
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ ls
LICENSE PKGBUILD ttf-ms-fonts.install
When I run makepkg this error appears:
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Fakeroot must be installed if using the 'fakeroot' option
in the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf.
So I check contents of /etc/makepkg.conf
--snip--
# BUILD ENVIRONMENT
# Defaults: BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
# A negated environment option will do the opposite of the comments below.
#-- fakeroot: Allow building packages as a non-root user
#-- distcc: Use the Distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler
#-- color: Colorize output messages

BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
#-- If using DistCC, your MAKEFLAGS will also need modification. In addition,

This looks as though option fakeroot is enabled, is there anything else I need to change?

FontAwesome appears as question marks in FrameMaker 12. I installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder. Do I need to do something else to get it to work in FM?

I need to update our fonts/templates to Font Awesome. I downloaded and installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder.
The font appears as question marks (????) in place of the text in FrameMaker 12.
The font appears correctly in other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook.
I tried this with both FontAwesome.otf and fontawesome-webfont.ttf.
Do I need to do something else to get this font to work in FM?
Thanks-
Stephanie

Well, if it's any consolation, it does the ????? thing (complete with bad font metrics for the question marks) in FM9, too.
I'm tempted to blame the font, but it could also be that FM is confused by things that shouldn't be where they are. You'll notice that some of the glyphs aren't given descriptive names in Character Palette.
For example, code points U+0000 through U+001F. Those are supposed to be the C0 Controls in Unicode, and not displayable glyphs.
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf
Ditto for U+0080 through U+009F, which are the C1 Controls:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
The glyphs at these code points should either be in standard Unicode positions (where the glyph is covered by Unicode, such as that left pointing triangle at U+0011, which might have been the same thing as defined by Unicode at U+25C0 or 23F4) or in some Private Use area.
Ask for your money back .

Displaying Windows True Type fonts using Java 1.1.x

Can anyone shed some light on why I cant just use the name of the fon't I want to display? Here is the code I'm using:
Font font1 = new Font(sFontName, iStyle, iSize);
this.setFont(font1);
sFontName is the name of the font, and it works with the font names that are garaunteed by Java (i.e. Dialog, DialogInput, Monospaced, Serif, SansSerif, or Symbol), but if I try to use a true type font name such as "Tahoma" it just loads the default font instead. Is there a different method required to load system dependant fonts?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If your font is properly installed (i.e. in the fonts folder and you've performed a restart) then it should work. I have code in the splash screen for an open source project like this:
subTitleLbl.setFont (new java.awt.Font ("Lucida Blackletter", 0, 18));Which works if the font is properly installed. Otherwise, it simply grabs the system font, as you indicated.
I've done some searching, and haven't found a way to load a font into java. Java won't do it because it's not platform independent.
Fortunately, this code works even if the font is not present--it just won't have the font you want.
