Using Asian languages in Illustrator CS4

Hello,
First time posting to this forum. I searched existing topics (and Google) extensively, but I either didn't find what I needed or I'm not informed enough to determine if what I'm reading is actually the answer I need
My company has a bunch of marketing flyers that need to be translated into Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese and some other languages to satisfy some new clients who speak these languages. Our translators have sent us .doc files with the translated text.
My problem is, I cannot get this translated text into Illustrator. One example font is "mingliu.ttc"...I utilized "Install files for East Asian languages" in my Windows XP settings and installed the mingliu.ttc font like I would any other font. It DOES show up in my Adobe list, but it types English characters.
Assuming I can get my hands on all of the exact fonts our translators are using, does anyone know how to get them to properly display in Adobe?

Yes, tedious. I learned this when I first migrated from FreeHand.
The trick is to not bother making tint swatches (!) (I know, I know. A departure from custom. Of course, you can make them if you want, but they turn out to be superfluous.)
Instead, I color select objects with "unnamed" tints, and when I need to modify them, I use the magic wand with a very low tolerance to select the fills (pretty instantly) and strokes (pretty instantly) and adjust the slider accordingly. Because I've gotten so accustomed to this contortion, I've actually forgotten how much of a contortion it is compared to what you're accustomed to.
If someone knows a better way, have at it by all means please.

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase?

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase? InDesign has a fonts folder, but not Illustrator.

i found this info from this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3466307. The user who asked this question stats this solution worked for them.
First in Language and text preferences in the system preferences select Hebrew as the input method.
The in Illustrator click the text tool in your document or drag to create a text frame.
While the cursor is active select a hebrew font
then go to the menu bar for the finder and where there is the American Flag pull it down and select hebrew
now go back to the document and start typing.
Remember if you do not have the ME version you have to have it flush right and type backwards.

Help to create outlines using javascript in adobe illustrator cs4

Hi,
Please help me to create outlines using javascript in illustrator cs4.
Thanks
Karthik

The textFrame object has a createOutline() method. So if you are wanting to save a version of your file that will not require fonts then loop thru these items in your document… (Loop backwards btw its easier that way) Take a look at the other posts at the top here as others are wanting to do the same thing… If your document is more complex then you may need to iterate all the way though which takes a bit more work…

if I want to add a especial cursor ,how to edit these number?

Hi,
I also had this problem on a Mac and I found the following solution.
1. I draw my cursor with Resorcerer.
2. In Resorcerer, I select my CURS resource then I click the Hex button. In the window, I select and copy the column named Hex Data.
3. I past the result in TextEdit.
4. I launch a little application I did with AppleScript to convert the text in the good format to b used with XCode and Illustrator CS4
Here is my little application to convert a text in TextEdit to the gool format.
Maybe, this will be useful…
If there is a better solution, I am intersted.

Is there a native Swedish Illustrator? Mhh. If so, perhaps setting the default language and install language accordingly might do the trick. Otherwise of course setting those to en_US should at least give you a working English install...

Can you use Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a book tutorials(on CD rom) without buying the software?

I recently purchased Adobe Illustrator Classroom In a book CS4, and am having trouble getting to the lessons through the CD-rom which came with the book. My question is do I need to purchase the Illustrator CS4 product to use the tutorials/lessons? I would REALLY appreciate some help, it's needed for a college credit for a design major. Thank you!!

There's the trial version that you can download from adoble.com. I think it's good for 30 days. Other than that, doesn't your school have a computer lab?
There's no way to open the files and work with them other than in a copy of Illustrator. You might be able to open them in inkscape (free) or Freehand (no longer available) but then what are you learning? Not Illustrator...
[edit] You should be able to get most of the lessons done in an older version of Illy though, which might be more affordable (if you can find them for sale)

Is there a fix for the slow processing yet? Clipping mask slows down Illustrator CS4 to the point it can't be used

I've seen a few older posts regarding CS4's bug with applying a clipping mask to any image that is somewhat complex, but have yet to find an answer.
The problem is, any time a clipping mask is applied to a semi-complex shape, Illustrator CS4 slows almost to a halt. We're talking 10 minutes of the beach ball to apply the mask and then another few minutes to do anything else with the document. This is unacceptable. My system is loaded (Dual 1.8 GHz G5, 1.25 GB of memory). The exact same files process fine in CS3. Many of our other designers are running iMacs and cannot work on the files at all using CS4. There has to be an answer to this problem.
Prefs have been deleted, Document Raster Effects has been lowered. Any other suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

My system is loaded (Dual 1.8 GHz G5, 1.25 GB of memory).
Uhm.. that's "loaded"? That's like the slowest G5 made with almost the minimum amount of RAM.
But.. I agree with you. Clipping masks seems to drastically slow CS4 down. Even if an object isn't really complex, but included many objects. I'm running a much faster system than you are and I have to wait around 3 to 10 seconds after any operation for some files. It's annoying. So far, I've not found any solution other than to expand and clip the masks.

Illustrator CS4 can´t sometimes use some fonts

Hello I have a strange issue with illustrator CS4 under Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Design Premium, which is driving me really crazy. If I am trying to write some text using for example Titilium Font, Olijo or some other ttf and otf fonts, I can see them in font selection, but whe I change to them Illustrator automaticaly switch to Myriad Pro. Few minutes ago I have sucesfully written a text with Olijo font then I restarted computer and Illustrator refused to use the font next time. I do not know what is causing it because other programs Word, Excel, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash can use them font without any problems. This issue is happening randomly with random fonts only in Illustrator. It also happened once with Myriad Pro font Family. Anyone knows how can I solve this?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my custom fonts (bought and downloaded) are in the folder C:\Fonts, system fonts are in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. For font managing I am using Bitstream Font Navigator.

You could check these knowledgebase articles on troubleshooting font problems:

Previewing imported bitmaps for Illustrator CS4 using Windows XP

Hi all
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to preview a bitmap while importing it into Illustrator CS4 (File>Place). I am using Windows XP SP3 and I know you can see a preview on bitmaps with the Mac version.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
George

Some general comments (when I used CS3 and WinXp I did not have any problems, now I am on Win7 64bit Pro and CS5)
Check your WinXp configuration and eliminate (not remove, just stop from running at startup) anything you don't really need
Background programs can cause problems for video editing
The usual advice is to disable anti-virus (and, of course, don't connect to the Internet) to reduce the drain on resources
Also do not have other programs YOU start running, so PPro has 100% of the computer's attention & resources
Be sure you have a good device driver for your nVidia card
This is usually the latest one (direct from nVidia, not Windows update) but you MAY need to experiment with driver versions in case a later version does not work well
>HDV project where the bulk of the files are HDV from a Canon HV20
CS5 is much better at allowing different kinds of files in a project, I'm not so sure about earlier versions
If your final output is going to be DVD what MAY help is to do only the HDV part, save out to DV AVI Widescreen, then do the other codecs in a separate project, and finally join the DV AVI files in a final project
CS4 is 32bit so will not take FULL advantage of Win7 and a 64bit computer... but if you have enough memory (I would say 12 or 16 Gig, depending on motherboard) that will allow CS4 to use as much ram as possible
Just how do you have your drives configured?
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file

Navigator-Window doesn´t function using big sized Disigns over 3 meters (Illustrator CS4)

Hi all,
I think this is a bug. Perhaps you have a solution for me.
I need a flag in the dimensions 1.2 meters (wide) and 3.0 meters (build up). In "Setting up document" I entered the values in centimeters.
The problem is when I want to move the red rectangle in the Navigator, the desktop, canvas layer moves completely uncoordinated only in one direction.
The only thing I can do is to scroll with the scrollbars or the mouse-wheel. As I have to zoom in, this kind of workarround is realy bad for me.
Who knows the problem and has a solution? I use Illustrator CS4.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
emusik

Hi Laary,
thanks for your answer.
Problem is, that I can´t reset AI with the shortcut: Shift+CTRL+ALT+Double-Click as Windows opens the register for relation to the AI.exe.
I´ll upload the file. Perhaps you can check it for me.
https://www.wuala.com/emusik/ai-problem?key=c1sBpNiGuG6X
Or could you let me download an ai-document of you with 120cm 300cm?
My colleague has the same problem with the file. We both use AI CS4 14.0.0
Thanks a lot and best regards.

I'm not sure what artboard view is, sorting and naming artboards is not available in CS4 either, sorting however is possible via script workaround,

Include Asian Language Packs for Reader 7.07 in GPO Installtion using Installshield Tuner

Dear all,
using the Installshield Tuner to create the necessary files (like the mst file) works fine.
The deployment of the Acrobat Reader 7.07 with Group Policy works fine as well, but is there a possibility to include the Asian Language Packs(Chinese Traditional and Modern) within this Installation?
They are only available as .exe files. Can they packaged to msi file or are already available?
The option (launch other applications) to run files is not good, because some people don't have local admin rights.
I tried manual installation by copying the missing files (CIDFonts and CMAP Folder, and anotherfile) later on and that didn't work as well.
I spend a lot of time of searching, but no result so far. Are there any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Andreas

run the installer exe and grab the msi file out of the %temp% folder
