Urgent – QuarKXpress 8 and Type 1 Font Problem Under 10.6

Hi,
I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6 with QuarkXpress 8.1.6. on a Mac Pro.
When I open a document created in QuarkXpress 7.5 in QuarkXpress 8.1.6, some of the text is not flush with the top of its text box. It seems to have moved down by a millimetre or two. Also, when I copy text boxes that appear to be correct and paste them into a new page layout, the same problem occurs, where the text again appears to have moved down within its text box. Some older files created in QuarkXpress 6.5 seem to open okay.
*The QuarkXpress known issues page says the following: Mac OS 10.6 only – Due to a change in Apple's APIs, text that uses Type 1 fonts may display increased vertical spacing when you open a project in Snow Leopard.*
I've spoken to Quark's technical support team who have advised me to update my OS to version 10.6.3. to see if this corrects the problem.
Does anyone have the same issues and will updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3 correct the problem? If not, I'm in a bit of a predicament.
As usual, any advice would be great – thanks!

Caveat to this post:
I don't use Quark, but I'd believe the author's own suggestions.
That said, before upgrading to 10.6.3, consider that you may not have full compatibility with 10.6.3 in other software. You may want to make a test bootable hard drive with just Quark on it, to see if it solves your problem and then check to see if all your other essential applications and drivers run as expected. Quark has its own forums here:
http://forums.quark.com/
Where I'd ask the questions to see what other users have been using to fix the issue.

How do I make PFM and Type 1 fonts available for my document?

I am trying to work with a document in InDesign. There are some PFM and Type 1 fonts in the document that can't be found. I have them in a folder on my computer but don't know how to make them available. I downloaded Adobe Type Manager Light, but am running Windows 7 SP1 and the exe file doesn't work. I also watched a tutorial about fonts, but can't find the folder that the person was talking about in the video. Can someone help me?

Hopefully you have not damaged Windows by trying to install ATM. Windows 7 has native T1 type support built in.
To make them available in Windows, Presuming they are actually Windows format fonts, you would right-click the font and choose Install Font, or CS6 or CC you can put them in a folder named Document Fonts in the same directory as the .indd file, and they will be availble to that file alone.
Note that Mac format fonts are completley useless on Windows. They're easy to spot, though -- they'll show a file size of 0 bytes in Explorer.

I Cannot Print From Photoshop CC, Performance is SLOW and TYPE causes a problems.

Hi!
To start, I have noticed HUGE bugs with Photoshop CC on multiple levels on different computers with different setups.
Computer one
Print Issues: I am getting this error message "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing" and "The saved print information is an incompatible version. It has been set to default values.". I have tried deleting the pref file, updating the printer driver, checking print logs and computer updates. All are up to date and running well. When I hit print, the dialog box comes up but will not allow me to change ANYTHING. So I can only print on an 8.5x11. However if i go into the actual printer preferences and change the default settings there, then go to photoshop and print it will allow me to the size I set the defaults at. I can print from any other program without an issue and I did not have any such problems with CS6. What other causes could be the cause of this and what are your suggestions to fix this? It seems to be a Photoshop bug, which is what I have been reading a lot of. I work off a Dell, windows 8.1 64bit. I would LOVE to downgrade to CS6 but cannot once I upgraded to CC. I did not have this problem when I first upgraded and for a few weeks after.
Performance and Font Issues: This seems(ed) to go hand and hand. But also performance happens more sporadically for some odd reason. The CPU usage and MEMORY went to 100% and photoshop was using 1,860.2 sometimes spiking to 4,000 MB of memory. I searched all the forums and found that my photoshop was not liking a specific font. I removed the font and things started moving faster. Then a few minutes later, it started to lag again with the same type of CPU and MEMORY spike. I then did more research and found that turning off the font preview has helped, so I turned off that. Photoshop started to work A LOT faster, no lag and seemed to function correctly. The 2 weeks ago, I started to experience the lag again (but without the CPU and MEMORY spike) and with only opening certain files to which none had any fonts that Adobe has said doesn't work with photoshop. I then researched again and found that again, the fonts preview when hoovering over the fonts and having the fonts change in the document was giving issues. Alass...there was my issue, again with the fonts. I then did all the research and did what the forums said such as, try using a brand new doc and create a file with out any of the fonts in the old doc to cause conflicts. NOPE. I was having issues in the new doc and getting this error "Could not complete your request because of program error" then photoshop would lock up because of CPU and MEMORY spike.
Computer two:
Same issue as computer one's Performance and Font Issues.
Now, I am no programmer nor do I understand that complexity of what goes in to create these programs, but EVERY ADOBE forum I have read will not admit it's a font issue or that there is a problem with the fonts, BUT my WEEKS of issues and research all keep coming back to FONTS when dealing with performance issues. So how can we get a fix on the fonts issue asap as my team nor I cannot work in the current photoshop because of performance issues?
A quick response would be much appreciated!
Thank you much!
UPDATE: I received a phone call from ADOBE and they said to me that they could send me a CS6 version that i wouldn't have to pay for and would also "Solve My Problem". I said, no thank you being that I have the CC and have access to ALL the programs, so that actually doesn't solve my problem or the overall problem of the CC program. So they escalated my problem and will have someone else respond to me as soon as possible.

Quite frankly that’s too much text for me to read in one post … (edit: So consider this more of a bump of the thread than an actual attempt at helping.)

Adobe Open and Type 1 Fonts in XP/SP3 plus updates & CS3

Since applying the latest Microsoft updates to XP/SP3 last week I can now no longer add Open Type 1 or Type 1 fonts to Fonts in Windows, and therefore can't add more fonts for use in Photoshop CS3. I tried a new harddrive, reloaded with XP/SP3 plus updates and the exact same thing occurs. Any of those types of fonts I try to add come up as corrupt/can't load, when in fact they are not corrupt and the exact same font files load with no problem in another XP/SP3 machine that hasn't had the updates applied, and they also load without a hitch in a Vista machine. Anyone else, who has all the updates installed noticing this? Anyone have a solution? I know that this isn't exactly 100% related to Photoshop only, but it does affect the program. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated................frank

This problem is now solved. Microsoft updated the video driver for my video card, and it was obviously the wrong one. It took two days and a lot of work to discover what had caused the problem, but at least the story has happy ending. Now, back to Photoshop! :)

Windows XP 64 and Type 1 Fonts, CS3?

We have recently upgraded to CS5 and have installed Windows XP 64 on our graphics departments computers. They had previously had the 32 bit version of Windows installed and had no problems with Type 1 fonts. We have CS3 and CS5 installed until everyone has been upgraded to CS5. They are unable to see the Type 1 fonts when using CS3 but can see them in CS5 and other programs.
Does anyone know if I there is a fix to allow the fonts to be used in CS3?
Thanks,
Eric

(1)     Adobe does not officially support Windows XP 64-bit with any of its applications. XP 64-bit was more of an experiment for Microsoft than a real operating environment. Vista 64-bit was the first reliable 64-bit desktop version of Windows supported by Adobe. At this point, we most strongly recommend that you immediately move to Windows 7 64-bit which is fully supported by Adobe.
(2)     There is no fix for the problem you encountered. The workaround is to put the Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite's private font directory.

PDFXML and Type 3 fonts

Is there any known issue with creating PDFXML from PDFs that use Type 3 fonts? In some instances the conversion fails with the message "The file contains Type 3 fonts which are not converted to Mars format correctly."
Any idea if this is an expected problem?
Regards
Ian

Hmm, this cannot be, as this is legacy material from 1997. There is no way that this can be changed using Type 1 or OTF fonts other than retypesetting everything from scratch, I fear, and that will be just too much expensive work. Interestingly, Acrobat Reader 8 and the latest Adobe Digital Editions display these PDFs correctly, so I have no alternative other than assume that the changes in the font rendering mechanism in Reader 9 are responsible for this. I am checking these files with Acrobat 9 Professional shortly...

10.4.4 and MS Word Font Problems

On Tuesday of last week, I installed the 10.4.4 system update into my 450 MHz Power/PC G4 tower. Following the installation all of my Mircosoft applications (Word, Excel, etc) are crashing whenever I try an access their font menus. For some reason the system update must have changed the calls out to the fonts and the MS products are now all confused. If I do succeed in opening the font menu in Word (without the program shutting down), it is displayed as unintelligible garbage - in Excel the font menu appears with several font menus overlaid on top of one another making it impossible to distinguish which font is selected. It appears none of my other applications are similarly effected.
I have already attempted the following fixes with NO success:
- re-installed Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac applications (twice)
- updated to the most recent version of Word, Excel, etc.
- trashed Font libraries and re-installed in various sequences
- used disk utility to repair permissions
- re-installed 10.4.4 using Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 COMBO installer
Any thoughts? Are other people reporting this problem? Can I download the 10.4.3 system update and run the installation (to go back to 10.4.3 from 10.4.4) or will that just screw everything up????

Thanks again Libertine for your replies. I had tried zapping the PRAM and saw the other comments already. None of it seemed to help. The drive would mount on the desktop, but usually spin down and back up after a few minutes. So on Saturday I decided to try to copy everything off it onto another drive. Since it usually would go too long before glitching I decided to copy one folder at a time. Numerous times it would glitch in the middle of a copy and I would have to unplug it and plug it back in then start the copy of that folder all over again. On several folders I found that it would glitch on the same file (digital photo) every time. If I removed the one offending file it would copy the entire folder. I have no idea what that's about. They were photo files and I could open and view the photo fine. So who knows. Anyway, I managed to get it all copied to a new drive. Now it gets real interesting. I did nothing else but to copy the files to a new drive. And since then the drive has not glitched even once. I am totally baffled. First Aid had said the drive was OK and DiskWarrior had no problems with it. I had optomized the directories on it a couple days before I upgraded to 10.4. So who knows? I guess it will remain a mystery. Once again, thanks for all your suggestions.

Wine and yet another font problem

So I upgraded my system (had to load lots of stuff, Xorg, Wine, the kernel..) and now my Wine fonts look like this:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/anpurola/winecfg.png
Some fonts are ok, but most of them are unreadable. I mostly run poker clients. I tried to delete my .wine directory, and install fonts again with winetricks, didn't help.
Does this have something to do with the new Xorg? I had to remove RgbPath and AutoAddDevices from xorg.conf BTW, to get it work.

[Solved] Gnome shutdown and logout menu font problem

Hi All,
When I click shutdown or logout options under System, the popup window apears as normal, but the there is no readable font/ characters. The characters look like what you see when you open a binary in a text editor, just thin little squares where the text should be. All other menus and text are working fine.
Any idea?

Urgent ! CORBA and JDBC! The problem is continued...

Hi Don!
Thank for Your advice!
did you use an oci jdbc driver in your code and then deploy it to the jvm in 8.1.6 ?
you need to use the "server side" jdbc driver documented in the jdbc manuals ...
Please review the "Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 2 (8.1.6)
A81354-01" at :
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/java.816/a81354/toc.htm
Especially the section called "JDBC in the Server: the Server-Side Internal Driver"
located in Chapter 14 at :
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/java.816/a81354/advanc4.htm#1001042
But... I have used the "server side" jdbc driver from the beginning in according to specification.
Moreover, I have applied all variants offered in Chapter 15.
But I have got, however, the same mistake: "No suitable driver".
Here are my attempts:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public java.lang.String PetroDeleteRow() {
// IMPLEMENT: Operation
String res="GOOD";
Connection conn=null;
try {
// 1th-variant
OracleDriver ora = new OracleDriver();
conn=ora.defaultConnection();
//2th-variant
conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:@application:1521:ims2","ims","www");
//3th-variant
conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection:");
//4th-variant
conn=(OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:","ims","www");
catch (SQLException e) {res=e.toString();}
return res;
What did i wrong? ;-((
Gali
Thanks in advance!

Hi Don!
are you running the code inside jdeveloper or inside the 816 jvm ?Yes, of course. I have deployed my CORBA object on the 816 server and then I
invoked PetroDeleteRow method from my client code.
try
System.out.println("Calling pressurecorba.PrognosisInterface methods...\n");
System.out.println(corbaInterface.PetroDeleteRow());
System.out.println("...done!");
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
Furthermore, when I use SQLJ in CORBA object all is correct.
if in jdeveloper what version of it ?I use JDeveloper 3.1.1.2

Thanks in advance!

NetBeans 6.1 and Java WebServer 7 problem under OpenSolaris

Hello, I have a big problem with NetBeans 6.1 (all upgrade installed) and Sun Java Webserver 7.0 (release 7.0U3 B06/16/2008 10:24); running under OpenSolaris snv_101a (2008.11 RC2).
The web server is installed into /opt/webserver7/ and run fine, but when I try to add it as a server under NetBeans 6.1 I receive the error about +/opt/webserver7/+ isn't a correct directory.
Any hint?
PS: the NetBeans plugin for the WebServer version is 1.6

Can you report it in NetBeans mailing lists [http://www.netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html|http://www.netbeans.org/community/lists/top.html] and [http://forums.netbeans.org/|http://forums.netbeans.org/] as well?

Flash Font Problems

I'm using Flash CS4 and have wasted--over the course of the past 18 months--at least three days of work time trying, in vain, to make Flash fonts work completely consistently.
Problems: 1) Fonts don't appear after FontAgent activation (must copy to Adobe/Fonts folder), 2) Bits of styled type totally disappear on compile (haven't figured this one out and try to avoid certain faces), 3) and most recently, totally bizarre font display (looks like egg thrown against the wall), which, despite verifying the fonts, replacing them (even though they checked out fine), cleaning the font caches (with Font Finagler, nee Font Cache Cleaner), doing a million restarts and praying, are still screwed up.
One possible common thread is that these seems to be OpenType fonts. But the errors are totally inconsistent -- for example, the font with #3 above had worked fine for nearly a year before becoming hopelessly destroyed in the past five hours, and only *some* characters in #2 disappear.
I'm posting here mostly out of frustration, since previous posts on similar issues haven't yielded decent (working) solutions and Googling these problems (ad nauseam) mostly shows people using either different font managers (or none at all) or working with dynamic text. (Mine is static text.)
But perhaps someone has a definitive resource/recipe for troubleshooting and solving these font problems?
Or perhaps someone could shed some light on why Adobe uses separate font folders and caches?

OK, well! It seems that I'm **not** crazy. I just read in TidBITS today that what I saw last week was related to a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7, which apparently fixed some font security problems, but broke something having to do with OpenType fonts. I guess I made the mistake of being on the bleeding edge.
http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078
I stick by my general complaint, however. Adobe or some good member of the community should create a definitive resource for understanding and solving font problems in Flash. I've spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions in Adobe help docs, in questions posted on these forums, and Googling for solutions -- and have seen many, many others expressing my same frustration of wasted time and so-so answers. Since fonts are critical to pretty much every Flash project, this should be information that is **easy** to find.

Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!
