Using TTF Fonts in ROME

Hello,
i've been using Rome for several months now (meaning since almost the first days of the prerelease) and i'm pretty satisfied. I use ROME for all my graphics i have to create for my work. I even do my presentations with ROME. But now i've stumbled over a little problem. I need to use CI-Fonts which are only available in the TTF-format.
Is there any way to use those fonts in ROME? I've noticed that ROME seems only to be capable of using SWF Fonts. Hope someone can help me with that ;-)
Best regards,
Mathias

I have a whole lot of .ttf fonts in my special fonts
folder
The usual place to put them would be Users/username/Library/Fonts. Is that where they are?

Applet loading and using ttf font

Hello,
I'd like my applet to load a TTF file from the server (or from a provided jar file) and
use it to render text, or use it with GUI elements like TextArea.
Here the significant part of my code:
        URL fontURL=applet2.class.getClassLoader().getResource("my.ttf");
        try { fontStream = fontURL.openStream(); } catch (Exception e) {
            str=str+"Error 1\n";
            e.printStackTrace();
        str=str+"Step 1\n";
// also tried this way instead, as well as including the ttf in a jar or as separate file on the server
//      fontStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("my.ttf");
        try { font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fontStream); } catch (Exception e) {
            str=str+"Error 2\n";
            e.printStackTrace();
        str=str+"Step 2\n";
        try { fontStream.close();} catch (Exception e) {
            str=str+"Error 3\n";
            e.printStackTrace();
        str=str+"Step 3\n";
        big_font=font.deriveFont(40f);
        text_out_main = new TextArea(str,4,40,TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE);
        text_out_main.setFont(big_font);the funny thing is, that this works on several Linux installations I tried (all UTF8/Unicode based ones).
And I tried several WinXP/Win2k FF/IE/Safari combinations and none of them works! The Windows
machines all show a standard font but with the size 40f, I cant see any exceptions, the strings "Step 1"
to "Step 3" are nicely attached to the main string and not a single "Error x" string appears.
All systems use the latest jre 1.6 plugins.
Any hints are appreciated.
Thanks,
Leander

Meanwhile I found out that the TextArea (or probably any other awt gui element)
did not use the font when running on Windows, when drawing to a Graphic or using
it with a JTextArea everything is ok.

Can someone help me by teach me how to make the css for that ?

You need to convert it to webfont
Create Your Own @font-face Kits | Font Squirrel
and then follow this tutorial
Add self-hosted web fonts | Adobe Muse CC tutorials

How do I use a font I downloaded in my Flash game? I downloaded the font as a TTF file, but can't figure out how to configure it.

I downloaded the file from 1001freefonts.com
I've looked at many tutorials about embedding custom fonts - I'm not sure what they are achieving, they never seem to have a step about importing TTF file or anything.
Thanks!

close flash pro.
right click the downloaded font file > click install.
start flash pro.
among other ways to use that font, you should be able to find it in the properties panel when you select the text tool.

[SOLVED] Can't use ttf Windows fonts in Libreoffice

Hi all,
I've been a relatively amateurish Arch user for about two years now, so I do know my way around the wiki and AUR, but as far as I can tell I'm the only one having this issue. I dual boot with Windows 7, and need to be able to display and use the ttf fonts from Windows 7 on my Arch partition, especially when I'm using Libreoffice. Now this has always been pretty easy. I've simply used the ttf-win7-fonts package from the AUR, but for some reason that package is no longer working. I've also tried manually installing the fonts per the instructions on the wiki, but to no avail. No matter what I do, I just can't get Libreoffice to recognize these fonts. The cursor simply blinks as I pound away on the keyboard, and no new characters are added to the document. Something that may be relevant: My graphics chipset is an ATI HD 4350, so I have to use the [catalyst-hd234k] repository for my video driver and [xorg111] for my X server. And yes I have added the font paths to my xorg.conf file, and updated the font cache as user and as root.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nibbles
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the fonts are displaying just fine in other apps. Tried the following, and it didn't work either.
pacman -Rs libreoffice
pacman -Scc
pacman -S libreoffice

I did try that, actually, even though those aren't all the fonts I need. It didn't help. Maybe I should take this over to the libreoffice forums?

Microsoft TTF Fonts package needed for commercial use in portable application

package for commercial use. This package should be independent of the being used only on the Microsoft Windows.

Can't find text in distilled file, using some fonts

The products I have are Mac OS 10.6.8, Acrobat X and 9, and Word 2011 and Apple Pages for Mac; Acrobat 9 and Word 2007 for Windows XP.
There are numerous ways to create PDFs on both platforms, whether through save as or creating a PostScript file and distilling it. The problem is that with docs I have using Calibri, Cambria, and Candara, if I distill a PostScript file made from Mac Word or Pages, neither Acrobat nor Apple Preview can find text in the resulting PDF, whether the file distilled with Mac or Windows Distiller. (Meaning a "find" for a string comes up as not found.) All other combinations are okay, even writing a PS file in Windows Word and distilling with Mac Distiller.
I mention the fonts specifically because most of the time I use OTF faces, which always work. I even tried using the Windows TTF versions in the Mac operating system -- same failure.
And even if I force these fonts to be embedded in the Distiller job options, still no joy. If I take so much as a comma and set it to an OTF, I can find the comma. Also, Acrobat *can* find Arial text in a Visio flowchart placed in the Word doc. I don't know how the author placed it there, but it's probably copy from Visio, paste into Word.
The reason why I care about this is because the distilled PFDs are just a tiny bit better looking on the screen than other options, such as "Save as PDF" from the Mac OS Print dialogue. The only other one that looks as good is the Create PDF button in Windows Word, but I would rather not have to use Windows just to get a better-looking PDF.
So to summarize:
Mac app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = fail
Mac app > write PS file > Win Distiller = fail
Win app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = okay
Win app > write PS file > Win Distiller = okay
Mac app > save as PDF directly > okay
This might not be a problem with Distiller per se; it could be the Mac OS engine that creates the PS files. You see, I had heard that Apple used their own internally developed engine for the options to save PDF files directly, but was using Adobe code when one used the option to write a PostScript file, so that's why I'm so surprised and disappointed it fails.

Hmmm. In what way are Distilled PDFs "a tiny bit better looking on screen" than those made by OS X?
You are viewing both in the same app and platform?
And you're referring to font display?
What settings are you using in Distiller which you think might have some bearing on this?

OS X's native graphics drawing environment, Quartz, is essentially a "Display PDF", so creating a PDF file is a very simple procedure.
Writing PostScript for printing uses Apple's own cgpdftops CUPS filter. I doubt there is any "Adobe code" as such, and I dispute the implication that "Apple code == bad; Adobe code == good", which you seem to suggest.
The specifications for PDF and PostScript are clearly documented, and it should be easy for anyone to follow them.
However, the fact remains that when Apple converts these MS fonts to PS, something goes wrong. It may be a bug in Apple's code; or it may be that Apple it strictly interpreting font data which MS is playing fast and loose with. Windows' own PS export would no doubt be designed to work with the looser implementation in MS's fonts. This is just hypothetical of course, though is in keeping with tradition.
What you could do is use a decent text editor like TextWrangler (free from BareBones software) to compare the PostScript code from Windows and OS X.
You could also look a the Properties tab in Acrobat of the PDFs, and compare the font encoding.
You could also test running out PostScript from any other app on OS X that you have using those fonts.
However, I think it is unlikely that you will see resolution unless MS releases a new version of their fonts, or some new version of OS X makes an amendment to fix the bug or cater for the MS issue. Perhaps Lion will do this; perhaps it won't.
Are you using the versions of these fonts that came with Office 2011 for Mac? What happens if you use the Windows versions of the fonts on OS X?

Why don't some of my .ttf fonts appear in the font menu?

Hello,
I have a number of .ttf fonts installed on my system (located in Win7/Windows/Fonts folder) which do not appear in Flash or other Adobe applications such as InDesign. I did try putting them in the Fonts folder of these programs instead of the default Windows location but that didn't work! The fonts are available in the font menu in Microsoft Word 2010. The fonts all have a dot before the file name, see below. So could that be the problem? I am using some of them to type Vietnamese characters. Can anyone help?

That did it, thanks. Now they still don't.fully load but they do have links at the bottom to get the rest of the message.

How to install .ttf fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08 ?

Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 x86 10/08 on my Pentium-II machine. It is working fine. I am using Java Desktop Session 3 (JDS3).
I have to install a few true type fonts (.ttf) to the machine and make it accessible in the gnome-terminal. I have the font files, that is .ttf files, in my system, but they are not installed.
Could you please give me the procedure to achieve this? Should I install any patches for this?
Regards,
Sreeram

Hello Lubos Kocman,
Thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and put the .ttf fonts in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory and rebooted the system.
[Actually, you had mentioned to put them in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF directory. But I did not find the TTF directory. Instead I found TrueType directory and so I felt it appropriate to place them here.]
But still I am unable to access and choose those fonts from my gnome-terminal's font list. Have I missed something? The same result was obtained when I placed the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory also. Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.
How do we ensure that the system has recognised the fonts which have been installed newly? Any commands to confirm this? Are there any log files pertaining to fonts, where we can know whether the fonts were recognised by the system, and if not recognised, the reason for the same?
Also, I would like to paste the contents of /etc/release of my system:
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 27 October 2008
Should I install any patches to this version of Solaris 10 to get the .ttf fonts installed. As mentioned earlier, I am using Java Desktop System, Release 3 desktop.
Kindly guide me in installing/accessing the .ttf fonts.
Regards,
Sreeram

Using custom fonts in iBooks Author

I have a book in South Asian (Indic) script. The encoding is Unicode. I wanted to see how different fonts would look on iPad. Using iBook Author i created two different versions of the book. One used Gujarati MT, Apple supplied font. The second used open source TTF font. It checked out fine by MacOS when I installed it. The rendering of conjuncts (which would use additional glyph present in the font file) on iBook Author looks good. When I use "preview" function of iBook Author to see how the content would look on iPad, conjuncts dont use special glyph but only standard character (I guess GSUB is not utilized). I tried the same experiment with Arial Unicode MS and Shruti both are standard fonts provided under Windows. it appears that only Apple supplied fonts have correct glyph substitution on iPad.
Is there a way to fix it?
If the issue is with iBook Author, I can use another software. My book is plain text so Author is an overkill. I was using it to test embedding of custom fonts because Author is easy to use.
If the issue is missing definition in the font that is required by iPad rendering engine, I can get the font author to enhance the font.
I attach four images. First two are from iBook Author where rendering is correct. The next two are from iPad where rendering using non Apple font is messed up.

Is comment about enhancing the font to support AAT still relevant? Are you saying that iOS needs those AAT extension that macOS does not need? Is this mostly around MORX table?
iOS (and OS X) comes with two Gujarati fonts, Gujarati MT and Gujarati Sangam MN. So the easiest thing to do is to use one of those.   Other platforms will probably have their own default Gujarati fonts with different names.
If you want to embed a different Gujarati font in your .ibooks format book, then you will indeed have to convert that font from OpenType to AAT before iBooks will display it correctly.   It's not true that OS X no longer needs AAT Indic fonts -- Pages for example still cannot use Opentype Indic fonts.
To convert an Opentype Indic font to an AAT Indic font I think someone will have to add a morx table along the lines of what is contained in Gujarati MT.
Bear in mind that iBooks Author creates a format that can only be read on an iPad (unless you want to export to PDF). If you want to produce books for all platforms and readers, then you need to use .epub format and a different app, like Pages or Indesign.   With epub format you would probably not normally try to embed fonts but just rely on the reader to supply whatever Gujarati font is already on the device.

Apex fop add ttf fonts

Hello, Im solving problem with PDF printing in Apex 4.1.1 and fop 0.93 running on oc4j . There is problem with some characters displayed as “#” in output pdf. This usually means the selected font doesn't have a glyph for the character.
I have studied apache fop reference where is written that I can add custom fonts. But I cant realize how to modify apex_fop.jsp to add ttf fonts.
Can anyone help?

Hi
Some times ago I created fop module with polish characters. It was hard work.
1. I used free true type fonts with special characters
2. I created metric files based on this fonts
3. Connected to config files
4. Rebuilded some jsp page
5. Changed apex reports print templates
You can read it on my blog (only polish version ): http://apex.dbe.pl/search?q=fop there is files to download with readme.
Probably you can't use it with APEX Listener 2

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.

Web browsers always use aliased fonts if possible

This is screwy, folks. I needed to install xorg-fonts-100dpi and xorg-fonts-75dpi in order to get KWord working properly, and now Konqueror is *always* using 75dpi fonts for *everything* on *all* web pages, even though my font configuration (the default!) looks like this:
Standard font: Bitstream Vera Sans
Fixed font: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
Serif font: Bitstream Vera Serif
Sans serif font: Bitstream Vera Sans
Cursive tont: Bitstream Vera Sans
Fantasy font: Bitstream Vera Sans
Now, whatever bloody fonts Konqueror is using now, they look aliased and generally hideous and sure as hell are not Bitstream fonts! :x Could someone please help me sort this out?
Edit: here's a screenshot...
[URL=http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot27jd.png][/URL]
Ugly or what?

I dont think this is a bug at all......
From what it looks like... Konqueror is doing the correct thing.
font,th,td,p { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }
Those are the fonts specified to be used throughout the CSS of the site.
Load this up and see what you get. (yes its a hideous non standard mix of xhtml and html4 as well as using dirty tags instead of css. shoot me.)
<html>
<body>
Verdana. Is this aliased? 
Helvetica. Is this aliased? 
Arial. This is always aliased. 
</body>
</html>
My system doesnt seem to have Verdana and Arial, so I get a generic sans font for them. But it does have helvetica.
Konqueror is correctly noting that the system doesnt have verdana, and falling back to arial, which I also don't seem to have, and finally falling back to Helvetica, which by nature is an aliased font.
Your specified sans-serif font is only used when all three of the web page's specified fonts are unavailable.
So no bug on konqeror's behalf. It's behaving correctly. Maybe its that the primary listed fonts are incorrectly installed, not installed, or for some unforseen reason, unusable by kde.
AFAIK, Arial and Verdana are MS fonts, so installing webcore (ttf-ms-fonts) and restarting KDE/X ought to fix this problem.
iphitus
edit: and as expected, installing ttf-ms-fonts fixed it. you might need to wait a while for kde to pick em up though, or restart kde.

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.

SVG (xml version)
