Unlicensed fonts in Adobe Typekit (Font Server)

Right now our company is in negotiations with licensing for the full Adobe CC Suite.
We're looking at utilizing the Adobe Font Server - Typekit since it will be part of the licensing, but we believe we've run into a huge roadblock.
We've come to understand that Typekit doesn't like free fonts that weren't aquired through their list of registered Foundries.
The problem is, we literally have thousands that have been collected over many years we'd need to import.
Has anyone else out there come across this bridge yet?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. The Typekit logo is included in the missing fonts dialog for several Creative Cloud programs, most noticeably in InDesign. We have found that this causes confusion as it's not clear that the missing font prompt is often unrelated to Typekit; this will change in a future software update so that you only see the Typekit logo if the fonts that are missing are available for desktop sync.
You can also turn off the Typekit font sync option in your Creative Cloud application, under Preferences > Fonts. This won't remove the logo from the missing fonts window, but may reassure you that Typekit is no longer being invoked by your software programs.
I'm sorry that we can't provide another option at the moment, but it is something we are working on to improve in the near future. Please let me know if you have any other questions,

Adobe typekit javascript added in html, but fonts are not loading/showing on browser

I have a set of fonts selected in adobe typekit, after i have used the embedded code within the html file, i still don't see any fonts being displayed/shown on browser. This is for the fluidlayout am working on for a website using dremweaver.
The "boilerplate.css" has it's own fonts mentioned, but this has got anything to do with the fonts am using from adobe typekit?

Hi Sharath,
This is Ben from Typekit support. Typekit can be used locally. However there are some necessary steps that if left out, will cause the fonts not to render. In order to use Typekit locally, you've got to:
1. Be running a local server when testing your site in the browser. You can tell if you're running a local server by the URL of the local site. If it starts with: file:// then you are just viewing the local file in a browser and not running it from a local server.
If the local URL starts with: http:// then you're running a local server.
2. The domain of your local server has to be part of the domain list in your Kit. So, if your local server uses: localhost, you'll need to add this to your Kit's domains.
Note also that Typekit won't preview in DW's live mode. You'll need to preview the site in the browser in order for the fonts to work.
I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, you can always email us directly: [email protected]
Cheers,
Benjamin

Could use of an unlicensed font empty out an Adobe InDesign file?

Has anyone ever encountered a situation where the use of an unlicensed font caused an Adobe InDesign CS3-created file to suddenly go empty after a couple of months? Whey I say "empty", I mean that the entire data fork is blank, only leaving the resource fork around. Thanks in advance.

No, it's not the backup system. This particular network was set up to use the portable home directory syncing system to sync all data to a server and only the server gets backed up. *BUT* the sync system was set to "manual" because automatic syncs were slowing the machine down. And the user had not been manually syncing for a couple of weeks. Also, a CD she burned within two hours of creating some of the Adobe files *ALSO* exhibited the same problem (empty data fork, leaving a small resource fork).
As far as I know MacOS doesn't natively allow files to be manipulated like that. Hence the mystery that I'm trying to solve.

Adobe Print form error: Initialization of the font server module failed.

Hi all,
When trying to open a PDF preview the error below is displayed:
"Initialization of the font server module failed."
The problem occurs with SAP GUI 7.10 patch 15 and Adobe Reader 9
With SAP GUI 7.10 patch 12 and 13 with Adobe Reader 9 the problem do not happen.
Has anybody faced this kind of problem? Is it a SAP GUI patch release issue?
Any help is welcome.
Kind regards,
Thiago Viaro

Hi Thiago,
We had exactly the same problem, but also with sp 12 and 13 for sapgui 710.
After applying ECL 6.0 Patch 4, the problem was solved.
Please have a look at sap note 1308147 and 1356854
Cheers,

Firefox 3.6 Font Issues with OSX Font Server

Just wondering if anyone's found a fix. There's an ongoing Firefox issue that keeps getting fixed (I have asked there with no luck) with updates but I'm wondering if perhaps there's a plist issue that someone might know about. What happens is that some fonts are either bolded or italicized by the system. The fix is to restart OSX's font server through the Terminal and it works — at least until you restart. I've validated fonts with Font Book but so far, everything's fine on that end.

While I have not contacted Adobe, I am sure the answer will be don't use Firefox 3.6.8. ( The compliment to the answer you gave. It not Firefox that has the problem but Adobe.)
Since the only solution that I have seen is to disable the key reason to use Firefox 3.6.8 (crash protection) then the problem would appear to be in how Firefox as done the crash protection.

[SOLVED] "X font server" - where are you in arch?

can't find xfs/xfstt or fslsfonts and associated utilities to run/manage a font server.
tried looking everywhere - main repos, aur, googling etc...
the only mention of "font server" is found in wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts
pkgfile returns nothing for xfs,xfstt,fslsfonts
can anybody help me find those?

As far as packages go, debian stable (wheezy) provides https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xfs and https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xfstt, so do most of rpm based distros.
As Trilby suggested, maybe it'd be possible to achieve the same with Arch, without using xfs/xfstt, so let me briefly describe what i'm trying to do.
I'm trying to run a persistent (hibernate-able) X session, using xpra with xephyr and xdmx, connecting to lightdm via xdmcp - basically it goes something like this:
$xpra start :100 --start-child="Xephyr :101 -ac +xinerama +bs -screen 800x600 -wr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev"
$xpra start :200 --start-child="Xephyr :201 -ac +xinerama +bs -screen 800x600 -wr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev"
$xpra start :300 --start-child="Xephyr :301 -ac +xinerama +bs -screen 800x600 -wr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev"
$Xdmx :10 -display :101 -display :201 -display :301 +xinerama -input :101 -param XkbRules evdev -ac -query localhost
xpra is used for network transparency, xephyr for compatibility and xdmx to actually create a single desktop, xdmcp is enabled in lightdm.
Everything works, except for "-query localhost" with xdmx. Apparently there's a long standing bug/feature of using lightdm with xdmx, where xdmx is incapable of displaying fonts, if provided by client side, ie. appending "-fontpath /usr/share/fonts/[blah blah]".
On debian i worked around it with "-fontpath tcp/10.0.10.10:7101" and everything was running just the way i wanted to, with xfs[tt] and friends.
Now, after switching to Arch, i discovered that xfs is not provided anywhere. Perhaps there's a different way of achieving the same funtionality i'm looking for. I welcome any suggestions. Meanwhile i'll try packaging xfs[tt] myself.
And thanks for your replies people!
P.S. current xfstt is developed/maintained here - http://www.hadrons.org/software/xfstt/

Using Adobe TypeKit with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

We're working on a prototype website using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and trying to use an Adobe typekit font on it. I have registered the EB URL with the typekit I registered. The font works well for about an hour, then disappears. Does TypeKit block Elastic Beanstalk URLs from using fonts? The actual URL is FGL CALCULATOR TESTS. I registered the URL "fglcalculatorwebser-env.elasticbeanstalk.com" in the typekit. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks,
Paul

This is what I get using another host FGL CALCULATOR TESTS

Adobe Typekit Issues With Illustrator

Hi,
I'm working in Illustrator and trying to select a font (Proxima Nova) that I had already added through Adobe Typekit. However, when I go to select it in my Character Panel it's not there. I then tried to add it using Typekit but it says it's already installed. Anyone have any idea what is going on and how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Hi
Which version of Illustrator and operating system are you working on ?
Have you checked in other applications like InDesign, Word etc ?
- Manish

Creating PDF's - Cannot get Arial to work - only getting MyriadPro (Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10))

Hi
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10) to create PDF's from input XML.
I have had some trouble getting Arial fonts which are used in my LiveCycle Designer created XDP's to be produced in the resulting PDF using the java API or the Process Flow (watched folder) in Output ES. I have put Arial TTF fonts into both the Server Fonts and Customer Fonts folders and the Arial font still seems to be coming out as MyriadPro in the final PDF.
Is there something I am doing wrong ?
Regards
Robert.

Hello Jackson,
We got this working by adding the below fonts to the server-fonts directory on the jvm which you specify in the LCM when you configure the livecycle and bounced the jvm and thing to note down here is that we added our Windows system fonts which are "ttf" files and our jvm is on linux. You can give a shot and see if this works at your end also.
Fonts added:
ARIALN.TTF
ARIALNI.TTF
ARIALNB.TTF
ARIALNBI.TTF
ariali.ttf
arialbi.ttf
arialbd.ttf
arial.ttf
Thanks-
Karthik.
