Type characters display as boxes on some fonts.

Some fonts display each character as a box. How can I display these fonts properly in Illustrator? The fonts are installed and work normally in other programs.

If you are on a mac find all your .LST files and delete them. They are your font database files, and can get corrupted, no harm will be done by deleting them.

Chinese Characters Displaying as Boxes

My iTunes used to display Chinese characters fine. But today, they all show up as boxes. I originally thought that it was something wrong with Windows, but I'm pretty sure it's an issue with iTunes. I tried to type in Chinese, and it works fine in other programs, but when I do it within iTunes (to change a song title), it becomes a box. And when I browse to the file within My Computer, the filename shows up in Chinese. But if I look at the properties of a song (Get Info), it will show the path with all the Chinese characters replaced by boxes. I believe this problem came up today, as I synced my iPhone last night, and it was fine then. I even tried to change the Language Preferences, but that only changed the menus and my songs are still boxes. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone else have this problem?

Characters display as rectangles in some fields

On a few web sites, some of the words/sentences are displayed with all characters replaced by small rectangles. If copied and pasted into a word document they display correctly. eg. "Thanks for visiting our Web Site" appears in the website as a row of small rectangles. (I have pasted them here). It has to be a font problem but all settings are standard.

PS - I have had this problem before with an earlier version of Firefox but at the time it went away with an upgrade of Firefox.

How to use textfiled to display one string that some characters are embed font support some not

hi everyone
i try to use embed font on a textfield,however,the embed font can only support limit character glyphs.
so i was think is it possible that if the font include character,i use that font,if not include,i use default system font
like the text function on http://picmonkey.com
if i want to use embed font to textfield,i have to set textFiled.embedFonts=true
however,if i did that,the characters not included in font can't not be displayed,even i change textformat.font="_sans"
so how to solve this problem?
what did picmonkey do?

use textFiled.embedFonts=false

I have a Text control string box with some initial text. I would like to highlight old text with click of mouse and type in new data from keyboard

I have a text control string box with some initial text (says: Please enter Name). I would like the operator to click on the text control box and have it automatically highlight so that when new data is typed in the old erases (all at once) and the new data is now in the text box.
I tried using the "Text.Selection" property node and when I run it and put the mouse inside the text box the initial text is highlighted and if I press "delete" on the keyboard or if I start to type in new data the initial data does delete but once I start to type new characters they erase each other. For example if I want to type in “Willi
am” I type the “W” and then the “I” but the “I” erases the “W” and now I am only left with an “I” in the text box and so on. I appreciate any help

It seems you are continuously setting the property node over and over again. This should only happen once if you mouse over it.
Create a property node for your text control with the following three items:
(1) KeyFocus (wire a "true" constant to it)
(2) Text.SelStart (Wire a "zero" constant to it)
(3) Text.SelEnd (Wire a constant containing the string length of the text).
Put this property node inside an event structure, triggered by "Mouse enter" on the string control.
(see if the attached example works for you)

PDF problem. Some fonts do not display.

Since moving CS4 to a new Mavericks installation I have two problems -
1. On clicking 'print', the application quits with no warning or message.
2. On exporting to PDF some fonts display only a bounding box for each character. Some fonts display OK.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

Thanks Peter, not sure about the fonts. They come up OK on mu InDesign document but not on the PDF. I will check that out.
As for the migration, I already did a fresh install on the new system.
Cheers.

MS Notepad unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares

MS Notepad is unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares. But when I copy those squares on notepad to Wordpad or MS Word, they display the Chinese characters just fine. I've no idea why those Chinese characters I type can't display properly on notepad. I check the font of the notepad and it's the default. I've another Windows Vista desktop computer which has notepad of the similar setting and display Chinese characters just fine. Both are using Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New Experience Input Style to input those characters. But I don't understand why my Windows 7 is facing this problem.

Hi,
Notepad is a very simple text editor BUT it will work if you use the SAME language in Windows. Please try:
1. go to control panel, click "Clock, Language, and Region"
2. click "Change location" under the "Region" section
3. go to the "administrative" tab, then click "change system locale...", then select "Chinese".
Regards.

Bold type displays too large on some pages

Bold italic type is displaying about twice the size that it should on two pages of an eight page site. (Type box also has plain italic.) I know what I'm doing, and have about 50 pages on five different sites, and these recent two pages are the only ones displaying wrong. Have html snippets from flickr with affected type boxes, but I have these on over 40 pages with no problems. I selected text and set all to correct size, but didn't help. What's going on?

As an example, the "U S Coast Guard Station Ma'alaea" at the bottom right of the Map page is a span with a class "style_1". The html is...
<span class="style_1">U. S. Coast Guard Station Ma’alaea</span>
... and the CSS...
.style_1{
font-family:'Arial-BoldItalicMT','Arial',sans-serif;
font-size:16px;
font-stretch:normal;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:700;
line-height:20px
Note that the font size is 16px - not 13px.
If this is not what you chose in iWeb, you need to troubleshoot the application itself.

Why some fonts don't display properly

I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font. Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

After upgrading to Firefox 8.0.1, now on at least one website I use, it limits the number of characters that I can type in a text box to 275, is there a way to fix this?

That may be part of the coding that the web page is using.

In Photoshop Elements 1, how do I put a frame/box around some type ?

I am doing a post card and I want to find out how to put a box around some text (i.e. a text box) and then be able to alter the thickness of the line.

Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions of the card, background white (or whatever suits you), resolution 300px/in
With the rectangular marquee tool, drag out a box of suitable size. You will see "marching ants" surrounding the rectangle.
Open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette
Go to Edit>Stroke(Outline) selection. Enter the width of the stroke (try 5 px), select the color, place it inside
Type the text to be within the confines of the text box with the type tool
N.B. The advantage to having the stroke on a separate layer is that if you don't like it, you can delete the layer and replace it

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

Some fonts I use for my iWeb-made site are not properly displayed on other computer. How can I sort it out?

Hello everybody.
I have made a website and I have noticed that some fonts and some background shapes are not correctly displayed on other computers (non Mac users).
Could you help me to sort out this problem?
Thanks
Andrea

It's not a browser issue per se either.
You see the Font because the font is your computer. The same font has to be on the computer of your visitor.
iWeb use a substitute font based on a font list it uses. If that substitute font is missing too, the browser chooses a similar font, which is not always the one you want.
You can force your font to display on a PC (but not with Internet Explorer) using a custom stylesheet with an embedded font. See it here :

Does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

Hi drewacg,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Are you the administrative contact on your Creative Cloud team subscription? The admin user doesn't receive the same set of services as a full seat, so you will have a Typekit Trial plan instead of the Portfolio plan.
You have the option of upgrading to the Portfolio level, though. If you would like to do that:
1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio
Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
I hope that this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to send your Adobe ID information to [email protected] and we can look into it further for you. Best,
-- liz
