Using fonts not copyrighted By Adobe.

Hi people,
I'm making a phonetics book with Adobe Indesign CS5 and to transcribe the phonetics I need to use Phonetic Ox font. However Phonetic Ox font is a font that Adobe doesn't have any copy rights. When making the documents, Adobe allows me to create text using the non-copyrighted font. However it warns me that when the document will be converted to PDF, the Phonetic Ox font will be missing because of copyright issues.
I bought the phonetic software about 15 years ago from Linguistics Software Inc, it is on a floppy disk!!! and as part of the price I am allowed to use their fonts in commercial ventures such as publishing.
At present I am reduced to creating the text, in Phonetic Ox font on Microsoft Word (WordArt), developing the font in Adobe Illustrator as an image and placing the final image on my Adobe Indesign document as an object.
Is there anyway that I can use the font as text, rather than as an object, and that when I finally convert my Adobe Indesign Book to a PDF format, the Phonetic OX font will appear in the PDF version?
Thanks in advance.
Gary

Thanks Peter
How do you embed a font into AID, similar to the way you embed a new font in your office system?

Using a custom font: Not appearing in Adobe

I am using a custom font for a project at work. The font has been installed on my machine and works great in other programs (Microsoft Word and Open Office, for example). The font is not displaying on the font list in Flash or Photoshop, however. How can I make the font appear?

Arial Unicode MS font not viewable in Adobe Reader 9

I have created a form in Acrobat Acrobat X Pro which has some labels in Arial Unicode MS font and when i view the form in Reader 9, I'm not able to view the labels. I have Arial Unicode MS font installed on my machine. What could be the problem?
Robin

The use of the Arial Unicode font may seem a simple way to get things done, but in fact this needs enormous care and testing. It will need at least some of the far eastern language packs installed, probably Korean.
For example, the font will need to be installed on each computer where the form is to be filled. This is not a free font, you cannot even buy it, but it comes with Microsoft Office. So only people who have purchased Office will have the font.
I would recommend using a Punjabi font. This should be a properly encoded Unicode font, one which works only on copies of Windows with Punjabi support NOT a "trick" font to work on Western Windows. Even so, Acrobat's support for languages outside western and the "big four" far eastern languages (Chinese x 2, Korean, Japanese) might not be sufficient.

You cannot fix it. Contact the person that created the pdf file.

Type Kit font not loading in Adobe Muse 2014

HELP!!!!!
Type Kit font Source Sans Pro will not load in Muse the app. Which means no WYSIWYG for me. Other type kit fonts are working. When I select them Muse displays them correctly, and when a switch back to Source Sans Pro it doesn't display correctly. If I switch between Regular, Bold or Black the font appears exactly the same.
I trashed the Muse preferences and restarted, nothing has helped.

Hi Jen,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. There is a workaround to this problem in the forum thread:

I hope that this helps,

Why is Helvetica font not available on Adobe Acrobat XI?

My friend has same program and has Helvetica-I am not able to edit the PDF because she has Helvetica and my version (Academic) does not have it.

Helvetica is a standard MAC font. The equivalent on a PC is Arial. I am not sure if you can change the font (compatibility issue), but if you try that you might be able to edit.

Font not showing in Photoshop (works in non-Adobe programs)

Hi all,
One of the fonts I want to use in Photoshop CS6 is not showing up. I installed the font, it is working in Word / Gimp / Paint.Net etc, though not in Photoshop or Illustrator. In the picture below you see the font preview, the installed font properties, a preview in Word and the absence of the font in Photoshop.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Bram

There must be something in the font's encoding that Adobe doesn't like. If you run the font through an application like Font Validator it shows several errors. I guess Adobe apps are more stringent with fonts than other applications.

there is some font labels that do not appear in adobe acrobat and appear in the reader " appear as boxes" and I need to work with the acrobat can any body help

I don't know if your on a Mac or a PC.
So you need to locate the Font cache file for Acrobat (make sure Acrobat is quit) and remove to Trash/Wastebasket.
and empty. The open Acrobat back up and the font cache file should rebuild. If your on a Mac the simpliest way is use a Utility called fontnuke and have it remove all Font caches.
Font cahces frequently corrupt as they are in constant use. Mayb Windows machines have something similar as Font Nuke.

Using fonts bundled with Adobe applications

I use the Adobe CS6 Design & Premium / Middle East Version.
I have a question regarding the use of the fonts bundled with Adobe applications.
I design and sell greeting cards and printable items you can download and print at home or at a print house.
Before I send the file to a client I convert the type to a shape (Photoshop) or create outlines (Illustrator/Indesign) and sometimes I send a pdf file.
Am I allowed to use these fonts for these purposes??
Is it ok to use these fonts that way?
One more question,
How can I find out if a font is bundled with Adobe or installed with my OS? is there a list of adobe fonts that are installed with CS6?
Hope to hear from you soon
Thank you!!

it is an allowed use. But if you are sending them a pdf, you need to convert the fonts to outline nor rasterize it. Adobe allows embedding of their fonts in pdf files. However, not all font houses allow this. If you have a font that doesn’t allow embedding, the Adobe app will not embed the font.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Fonts not found

We are changing our user from a Mac to a Windows (7) based computer and we are running in to issues with files that she created on the Mac version of Adobe Illustrator. She used some fonts (AGaramond-BoldItalic for example) and it works great on the Mac. I copied all the font files to the windows computer and made sure they work (opened Illustrator and created a document with the fonts).
The issue now is that when we open the old documents from the Mac on the Windows computer it gives an error "Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted."
I am not sure how to tell the file that the fonts Are there because when it opens all the fonts are to a default Arial.
So far I have tried:
Removing all Adobefnt*.lst files
Resetting adobe settings by holding ctrl+alt+shift and opening the program
Testing the file on a brand new user account
uninstall and reinstall the program
None of these have worked.

There are more cache files than the adobefnt files. See here for more detailed instructions on cleaning your font caches. That said, it sounds likely that the issue is that your fonts are mac only, as Larry said above. You should be able to use Type -> Find Font... to replace them with whatever version you have on the PC but watch for formatting/flow changes. Also, my condolences to your designer. ;-)

Is it legal to use font from adobe in commercial online flashgame on facebook?

I have a plan to make online flashgame on facebook for commercial (like playfish or zynga flashgame) and I want to use a font from adobe name "Lithos Pro Black" here is url (https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFont&code= LITP10019000)
I'm not sure this font allowed to embed in flashgame on facebook for commercial?
I just chat with adobe agent via online chat support and she told me that I can use this adobe font in flashgame on facebook, but don't have ready information on the website.
If someone know this issue please confirm me that if I buy font from adobe("Lithos Pro Black"), can I use "Lithos Pro Black" font in my flashgame for commercial?
Thanks for every answer

Yes, if you license "Lithos Pro Black" from Adobe you can embed it in your Flash game. Lithos Pro is an “Adobe owned font” family, and by licensing it from Adobe you're covered by our EULA which allows that kind of usage.
For some more information please read our blog post about Web Font Licensing http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2010/10/web-font-licensing.html and the FAQ http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/web-font-licensing-faq

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24. Can someone help me with this? - JML

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?
