Unicode fonts not displaying

I pruned my fonts back last week, but removing them from my System Folder, but now the Unicode fonts are not displaying in my web browser (maybe same in other apps, but haven't noticed). What specific font is used for Unicode display?
Thanks.

Tom-I appreciate the response. I'm trying to get the 3-line list menu "hamburger" icon to appear with character \2630. Since I removed the bulk of my fonts, this appears as a missing link in my web browsers. Not sure which of the various fonts may include this character.

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

Some Unicode does not display despite proper font support

I am having trouble figuring out why certain pages do not display Unicode blocks I know I have fonts for. For example, I have fonts for Imperial Aramaic (Quivira and 2 others), and two for Linear B Ideograms (Aegean, Code2001). I have verified this via the excellent BabelMap application, which will show you which fonts installed support which Unicode blocks. If I go into the preferences and make the default font Quivira, the Imperial Aramaic characters get displayed, but not the Linear B ones. And vice versa if I pick Aegean as the font. I would expect FFox to figure it out and work out any font that could support the Unicode block. Here are 2 test pages:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/imperial-aramaic.html
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/linear_b_ideograms.html

Did you try to select a common font like Verdana or Arial as the default font?
That should make Firefox automatically use the right font if the currently selected font don't have the glyphs.
You may also have to enable fonts for web pages.

Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
Anyone else notice this?

It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

Unicode character not displaying when PDF is created using PDFMaker

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Our company letterhead contains a special character (Unicode 25AA "Black Small Square"). When a PDF is created of a Microsoft Word document (2003 or 2007) using the PDFMaker, that character is not displayed in Acrobat (shows as whitespace). Strangely enough, if I search for the character in that PDF file using the Acrobat search function (query "u/25AA"), the search finds the character, but again, it is displayed as whitespace.
However, if I create a PDF from that same Word document by printing to Adobe PDF, the character displays correctly in Acrobat. Additionally, if I do a SaveAs to PDF (Using the Microsoft plugin), the character displays correctly in Acrobat. This leads me to believe that muy issue is related to the PDFMaker (as opposed to the PDF printing function) and how the character is embedded into the PDF file. I have tried opening the PDF in other versions of Acrobat, but I get the same result.
Any suggestions? We would like to utilize the convenience of the PDFMaker for our letters and reports, and not have to use the print function. I can email a sample of all the PDF's I spoke of upon request, but the issue should be reproducable using the following steps:
1. Open MS Word and type (or copy from the Character Map) unicode character 25AA in Arial font.
2. Save Word file.
3. Use PDFMaker to create PDF file.
4. Open PDF file and view results.
Any guidance or help is appreciated.
Phil Hinton

First, check the fonts in the PDF to be sure that they are not embedded (you are likely correct that there is a problem). What job settings are you using. Try the press or print. Also check the job settings to be sure that ALL fonts are to be embedded.
Also, check the log file of Distiller (set it to not be deleted in the settings). If there is an issue with the license of the font then the font will not be embedded. In that case you need to find a licensed version of the font or change to a different font.

Fonts not displaying properly (square symbols)

I'm trying to troubleshoot an error in a 3rd party vendor's java applet where fonts are not displaying properly. It seems as though when the arial bold font is used, it does not display from a particular computer. (this is a company terminal server, by the way).
To illustrate what I mean, I've posted links to small images showing a working example from another machine:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_working.gif
.. and a non-working example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_error.gif
(apologies, I don't know how to include images in this forum).
Vendor support can only provide support so far as requiring a certain version of a JRE is installed -- after that, it's up to me. I've tried comparing the two JRE/lib/Fonts directories and Windows regional settings but they are the same. I've also tried setting the Sun Java console trace level to DEBUG while Internet Explorer is running the applet.
Is there any where I can look to find out what font is missing, or whether the "JavaFontNotFound" exception is firing? Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Make sure that you're using the correct font. Arial Bold does not provide full Unicode support. Thsi webpage may assist you:

Russian Font not Displaying

Yes, I know that my version is painfully outdated, but it's
what I have to work with. I have Russian text which displays fine
in the browser, but when the file is opened in DW, the text turns
to random characters. I tried changing the Document Encoding in the
Page Properties with no success.

there's a character that looks like an "h" with a cross that I'm pretty sure is not in the cyrillic alphabet.
But it is: ћЋ U+045B and U+40B are used in Serbian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SerbianCyrillicalphabet
But I think that page is designed for a non-standard encoding anyway, "Academic Russian". You would need to download a special font to get correct results, and there is no guarantee such a font will work in Safari and other OS X apps because they are designed to use Unicode fonts, with other standard encodings being translated into that for display. If it doesn't work in Safari, sometimes you can make such custom fonts work in FireFox or Opera.
See this page for the special font needed and explanations about browsers:

Fonts not displaying correctly in Mail & Safari since updating to 10.4.5

On some of my downloaded email and some websites the fonts are displaying wrong! What's weird as I figured out that the font is called Brady Bunch which I don't even seem to have on my system or if I do I can't find it.
I figured out it was Brady Bunch by copy/pasting it into TextEdit and then went to Format > Show Fonts. It doesn't seem to effect Firefox browser.
My Apple mail (v2.0.5) preferences > Fonts & Colors > are all Helvetia. Safari (v2.0.3) Preferences > Appearance are Times 14 and Courier 12.
It looks really unprofessional replying to an email and the text I'm replying to is in Brady Bunch.
Can anyone help?

Fonts not displaying correctly in Muse, working fine on upload. HELP! Working on Muse CC 2014, Mac OSX 10.9.4

Hello!
In Muse, my fonts are displaying incorrectly, when uploaded the fonts are correct. I am guessing this is a system issue. First time I have had this problem since making the jump to CC 2014 and it is making designing painful . I've updated everything, dumped and reinstalled the web fonts, restarted, cleared PRAM and scratched my head a bunch. I also tried to find a font cache to dump but could not locate it...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Musers! - Andrew

Fonts not displaying correctly on one computer

This issue applies to the past couple versions of FF. I am currently on 35.0.1 on a Windows 7 computer. I have similar configurations on several other Windows 7 computers and have not experienced this issue.
Basically the issue as that fonts on certain pages either do not display at all, or may just look like a long underscored ( __________ ).
I have experienced this issue on a number of different sites, so it's not site specific. The attached screenshot of the Facebook login screen is a perfect example of what I mean.
I have also attached a screen shot from another site where the words of a text menu just show ups as a line. The menu is at the top right of the image (highlighted and circled).
I have toggled the hardware acceleration option based on other suggestions and it does not resolve the issue.

You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
*about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

Fonts not displaying on some computers

I created a document in Microsoft Publisher on my laptop (running Windows XP SP2) and created a .pdf using the "Save as postscript" funcion and Acrobat Distiller (5.0)
I emailed it to our webmaster who put it up on our webpage.
Now, when I go to view it from the website on my desktop computer (Windows XP SP2) in Mozilla Firefox, the fonts are not displaying properly.
As a test, I emailed it to myself and tried to view it from just within Acrobat on the desktop computer and they're not displaying properly that way, either.
The document displays correctly when viewed from my laptop, both in Acrobat and in Mozilla Firefox.
I am concerned that others will not be able to view the fonts either, and as the purpose of this document is to have clients choose the font they prefer for ordering merchandise, it is imperative that they be able to see the fonts!
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem?
Thank you!
Tracy

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer and selecting a settings of print or press (not the standard). Saving to PS is likely a Publisher issue and they may not have indicated to embed the fonts. You might be able to get around that in Distiller if you choose a settings file other than Std (same as for using the printer).

Web font not displaying in Muse

Hi! Seemingly out of nowhere, Source Sans Pro will not display in design mode in Muse 2014. To see the font correctly, I need to preview in browser. I also can't see the formatting (bold, etc.), though it's there. Any help appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't have that folder, nor the one listed here for 2014: Re: Source Sans Pro not displaying in 'Design' mode

Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files. The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
And here is the same file uploaded just now:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file. With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless. Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/dae50071-9596-44ce-b525-3f52663f8cca
Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

FREE3OF9 barcode font not displaying in Firefox's new built-in PDF viewer

I have a PHP web app that uses FPDF (v1.53) and the FREE3OF9 barcode font to dynamically generate a PDF which includes a barcode in it. The font is imported into the document using the FPDF AddFont method (http://fpdf.org/en/doc/addfont.htm). In versions of Firefox prior to 19, the PDF opened in a new tab, was displayed by the Adobe Acrobat plugin, and the barcode showed up perfectly fine.
Now that Firefox 19.0 is using its own built-in PDF viewer, the barcode no longer displays at all -- there's just a blank spot where it should be. It continues to display fine in IE and Chrome. How I can get the font to display correctly in the newest version of Firefox?
I understand that I can change the Action for the PDF content type to 'Use Adobe Reader' in the options, but I'd prefer to fix this so that my users don't have to change their browser settings. Or at the very least, it would be nice if they could only change the Action for PDFs originating from my site and not globally.
Thanks.

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.
