Using Sonata Font in Illustrator on IBookG4

I'm using Sonata Font in Illustrator on an IBookG4 laptop and I'm suddenly NOT able to get all of the music notation that I can on a desktop.
For example, each character on the keyboard corresponds to each musical notation; then there is the shift + character to get more musical notation; and also option + character to get the rest of the musical notation.
I can not use option + character to get the last of the musical notation that I need.
Is it the laptop keyboard or Illustrator?
Please advise

There may be some kind of font conflict; the use of a font utility or other
tool may be warranted. This specialized use of software appears to have
limited your hoped-for replies in solving the immediate problem.
In other instances, where some keyboard combinations don't work on a
portable Apple computer (whether or not they did work, then failed, is
another matter) there is an Apple support document which suggests
the use of an external keyboard will do more than the built-in one can.
The following link may not apply to your situation, or model:
[ Apple Portables: Some Key Combinations May Not Be Recognized... ]
I'm wondering if there isn't something simple, other than managing fonts,
that could help this issue go away. I suppose you've tried routine system
maintenance such as repair disk permissions and other duties; and if
the hardware is suspect, ran the Apple Hardware Test to see if there is
another indication of a keyboard failure..? Since you say it was sudden,
I wonder if the built-in keyboard is the problem. Best of luck...!

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.

Can I use Web Fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop?

I'd like to use a few of the web fonts for a clients project but I need to be able to have the fonts available for me in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Dreamweaver and Muse.
I am a full Creative Cloud Subscriber and need to have complete integration across all or most products.
Thank you for help in advance

The short answer is this is not possible.
The long answer is Photoshop & Illustrator use print fonts installed on your system (True Type, Open Type, Post Script).
Web fonts (ie: Google, TypeKit, Edge, etc...) need a web browser to display them because they use file types that are not recognized by other applications.

Can I use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CS3?

Can I use Hebrew fonts, which are loaded and enabled in Illustrator, CS3? Although they are listed in the Character palette, the Hebrew fonts appear at the bottom of the list enclosed in < > brackets. When I choose such a Hebrew font, the letters appear as blank rectangles in my document? Font Book says they are valid Truetype fonts. What's wrong?
Thanks for any help.

How do i use the fonts in illustrator to create a monogram?

i am new to illustrator and need to know how to use fonts in my projects

Use the "Character" palette to view the fonts you have loaded. Monograms usually require something a bit out of the ordinary. Create an account online ( for instance, myfonts.com ) and be prepared to purchase what you plan on using for your design. Don't forget, the computer is just a tool. The actual designing will come from you. That will require some sketching, some research, and some development.

EPS File Not Using Proper Fonts in Illustrator

I am trying to import an EPS file that I created in Finale 2014 into Illustrator CS6 (64 bit). It seems to not want to use the Maestro font for the noteheads, rather replacing it with Myriad Pro. I have tried this on multiple machines with the same result. I have tried to switch the font manually, but it will not change.
Likewise, I can open the file in Photoshop just fine with all fonts intact.
I need it as an EPS file because I need to be able to ungroup the vectors and alter them in Illustrator.

devinc,
Maybe the maestro font is not up the requirements.
Illy is particularly particular about the quality of fonts, because she can work with them at a deeper/higher level than most, so you can easily have a font that works in all other applications, but Illy refuses to recognize it as a font.
Some failing fonts discussed in earlier threads have turned out to have rather basic flaws, such as redundant, superfluous, or (if I remember rightly) even stray points, or other clear errors in the paths that they consist of.
You may need to look for similar fonts that Illy is willing to work with.

I want to use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CC 2014

Hello - I have installed Illustrator CC 2014 in both the English and English/Hebrew versions and still can't seem to get my Hebrew fonts to work. No matter what I try, any verbiage I type is still showing as roman characters. Any tips or advice?

I also need larger text in tabs.

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.

Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

Is it possible to use the fonts I have in my Mac Font Book with Creative Cloud software, such as Illustrator and Photoshop?

Hi Kyley,
Syncing fonts from CC is a feature of Typekit. However, fonts that you've installed manually on your system will be available in all your apps. You won't need to sync them.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers,

Illustrator can't use bitmap fonts?

In the list of available fonts, Illustrator CS5 just doesn't show a particular bitmap font (maybe it's skipping some others too, but I didn't check). I'm sure the font works well, in fact it shows up and works normally in Photoshop, and I also use it for interface in some other software that allows customizing of interface - in a few years never had a problem. If it matters, it's a fon file.
Digging around the internet I didn't see anybody complaining about it, the only thing I've found is an article for beginners that talks about using bitmap fonts as if it were perfectly possible.
So, how can I use this font in my documents? Or will I have to design everything in Illustrator and then finish it in Photoshop.
Edit: if it matters I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

That's true, but what made me think Illustrator should be able to read a puny bitmap font is (among other things) this piece - I wouldn't trust it too much ("Pixel fonts are quite popular these days. It all started in Flash…") but it actually has screenshots, so I assumed they must have materialized from somewhere (and what it says about positioning of the lines is true, so it probably knows what it's talking about).
Edit: and I just noticed… the fonts I actually have as "Hidden" (in the Font control panel) show up in Illustrator all right - Comic Sans says hello (I should have uninstalled it instead of hiding it I guess). Heh…

Using fonts from illustrator in a logo

Are you free to use fonts from illustrator/photoshop in business logo's?

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...
This (that “you can copy and send the fonts for a reproduction house for the sole purpose of reproducing that particular piece or job”) is absolutely not true! In fact it is not true for any of Adobe's fonts!
What is true is that your ability to send, share, or even embed fonts is dependent upon the EULA (End User License Agreement) for each and every font you use in your content. And, by the way, any restrictions in the EULA legally override any embedding permissions that might be set in the font itself for TrueType and OpenType fonts!
Other than for fonts that are explicitly labeled as public domain or freeware, it is exceptionally uncommon for any font foundry – and that includes Adobe and Monotype (Monotype now includes Linotype, ITC, and Bitstream) – to permit licensees to simply package and send fonts along with the base document (Illustrator .AI, InDesign .INDD, etc.) and other digital assets to a print service provider with one exception. That exception – and that exception is not universal but does apply to fonts licensed from Adobe – is that such fonts may be sent to a print service provider as long as the print service provider is also licensed for those fonts. Well, what good is that you may ask? The reason for this is that there are subtle differences between versions of fonts released over time including improvements and corrections. Adobe does allow users to make local modifications of fonts as well while maintaining actually ownership of the fonts. To deal with both these cases, Adobe does allow fonts to be sent with original source files to print service providers if and only if the print service provider also has a license for such fonts. The need for such a license is exactly why Adobe markets its Font Folio product to print service providers; it fulfills the licensing requirement for their customers sending original documents with fonts to them either for reproduction and/or editing.
One of the reasons why Adobe has been so much behind PDF workflows is that for many fonts (including all those licensed from Adobe), you may embed the fonts in the PDF files you create from you content, send the resultant PDF file to your print service provider for reproduction or to a publication for embedding in their content (such as for advertisements) and neither you nor the recipient needs to pay any further licensing fee.
However, you should note one further restriction. Some font foundries (including all the font brands of Monotype) allow for fonts to be embedded in PDF files, but except for private distribution of such PDF files (including to print service providers and publishers), requirement additional royalty payments for distribution of PDF files in which their fonts are embedded! Note that Adobe has no such restrictions on any fonts the fonts it licenses!
I know that the above information may conflict with both what many in the industry practice and believe is true, but those licenses are indeed legally enforceable. We are in fact aware of font foundries that run webbots looking for PDF files with their fonts embedded for which royalties have not been paid. The fact that many content providers and print service providers have blatantly ignored the font licenses in the past does not provide a tenable legal excuse for ignoring font licenses now.
- Dov
PS: To address the original question in this thread, you may use the fonts provided with any Adobe software in your content such as logos (even if they are created with non-Adobe software while you are licensed for the Adobe software) and you may distribute such artwork to others with the fonts as long as that is distributed in the form of either PDF files or EPS files with the fonts embedded. (Adobe most strongly recommends PDF over EPS for modern, reliable workflows!)

How to monospace fonts in Illustrator?

I can't seem to find this feature - is it possible to do this in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!

Good responses here, but I just wanted to add in one other solution. This is painstaking but I'm having to do it for a project. I literally need a grid of text. I'd much rather just have a monospace font. Illustrator, if you're listening, a "Force Monospace" option would be excellent for UI designers, puzzle designers, and a lot of other people. People go to illustrator to do the odd jobs that other programs can't do. This feature would be at home here.
The basic idea is to use linked text boxes and flowing text. This will be much easier to do in InDesign, since that program was born to flow text. I find it hard to click the flow button in CS5 and you can't hold option to continue the linkage process like you can in InDesign.
Anyways, details on how to do this below. If you absolutely need a monospace layout of text glyphs, and don't have a monospace font to work with, and need to work in illustrator, this should work. I'm not saying that it will look good or be legible, and I guarantee you'll curse Illustrator because this would be very easy for them to add in as a feature.
1) Click and drag out a rectangular text box. Don't just click and start typing, you need an actual type box.
2) Enter your text and style your text how you want it. Use the increased tracking method, posted above, if you want to see roughly what it will look like.
3) Decrease the tracking so it's 0 after you have everything styled.
4) Add an uppercase M to the beginning of your text. That's typically (no pun intended) the widest character in most fonts.
5) Resize the text box width so all you can see is that first M. You can make it a little wider just to be safe.
6) Drag out a copy of that text box, and delete the text from the new one.
7) Drag out copies of this empty text box. They should "flow" from left to right for English or other left-to-right languages. You should have as many boxes as you have letter in your final text.
8) Link the text boxes: first click on your text box that has your placeholder text. You should see a red overflow [+] sign on the right side of the box. Click that.
9) Click the edges of the next text box and you should see text flow from one box to the next.
10) Rinse and repeat until all your boxes are filled. As you're doing this, you'll have multiple smaller letters filling up smaller boxes. There are two way to solve this:
11A) Hit enter after each character to force the text to the next text box. This is cumbersome.
11B) Increase tracking to a very high number or something that will prohibit two characters from occupying the same box. This is good if you are going to want to edit the type after the fact.
12) Horizontally align your boxes, center your text, and you're done.

How to use a font in font book

Hi,
i have a font sitting in my 'font book' called 'arial hebrew bold'.How do i get to use this font either in word or illustrator? I am wanting to send hebrew letters to a printer/cutter to produce some hebrew letters for me. The font shows up in font book but does not show up in the font list of word or illustrator??
nibbs

MS Word for Mac does not support correct Hebrew and for Adobe apps you should use the special ME version. The best OS X apps for Hebrew are Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and Open/Libre/NeoOffice.
If you want to type Hebrew, you first have to go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the box for Hebrew, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar and the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then you select Hebrew in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type away. Select Keyboard Viewer to see which key does what. You cannot really use Arial Hebrew until you do that (unless you want to input via the Character Viewer).

Fonts in illustrator for online

hi - I work in illustrator and use regular fonts for exporting .gif graphics for use on web browsers - should I be using specific web fonts? This is not for websites but documents viewed on screen. Mainly Times Roman and Arial. So far they look okay but I was wondering if there is a better option?

Certain fonts are desgined to look good on the web
http://www.myfonts.com/search/web+fonts/fonts/
http://www.adobe.com/products/webfont.html
The same rules generally apply for most digital applications, except for example large scale digital billboards.
Now don't lock yourself into using only web fonts for your digital projetcs, as there are plenty out there that do not claim being designed for web, but work just great.
Similarly there are also SC and expert set fonts designed to work as small caps, Titling or Poster fonts designed to work at large sizes. Look into these rather than using the small caps feature as that just scales the font.

Use of fonts embedded in photoshop for commerical use? (Static content, like images)

Hello.
I am developing a Mobile game for Android, and I can't stop thinking about if i am in the clear when it comes to the use of fonts. I've searched the web, but can't really find a clear answer.
I am using only font embedded in photoshop/illustrator, and only displaying them in static content, such as Images/logos. So my question is, am I in the clear, or do I need som kind for special license for this?
FYI I am mostly using the MonoType Impact font. I stumbled over this though, its Monotypes Imaging EULA for fonts ( I think). It says :
You may embed static graphic images into an electronic document, including a Commercial Product, (for example, a "gif") with a representation of a typeface and typographic design or ornament created with the Font Software as long as such images are not used as a replacement for Font Software, i.e. as long as the representations do not correspond to individual glyphs of the Font Software and may not be individually addressed by the document to render such designs and ornaments.
Would appreciate any help, thanks!
