  • Why Arial Narrow font not working on my blog?

    I have one blog name http://articlezeneu.blogspot.com/, I have used Arial Narrow font at Post title. On Chrome and IE, it's working but on firefox it shows Arial.
    Can anyone can solve my problem?

    You may have to use extra CSS properties on Windows to make Firefox use the Arial Narrow font: font-stretch:condensed
    When DirectWrite rendering is used rather than GDI rendering, font families are grouped differently.<br />
    How a browser reacts here will depend on which font subsystem it's using.<br />
    Windows has two different font subsystems: GDI and DirectWrite.

  • Illustrator CS2 Suddenly not Recognizing Arial Narrow Fonts

    I created a graphic earlier today that used Arial Narrow Bold Italic. Later on today I had to update the graphic with new information and now it is telling me I don't have the font installed. The Arial Narrow fonts are in the fonts folder and are recognized by all other CS apps, Office apps, etc. I have replaced the fonts countless times since getting this message, restarted my computer, all to no avail. I eventually had to go to another computer to do the update. I even tried copying the fonts from that computer to mine and I still get the same error in Illustrator.
    I don't know what the heck happened. I didn't install any new fonts between the time I made the graphic and the time I tried to update it. Do I need to re-install Illustrator? I need to know ASAP, as I will be updating this graphic tomorrow and of course would still like to use Arial Narrow in Illustrator.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Btw, I'm on WinXP SP2.

    I had the same problem when I upgraded to CS3. Haven't explored the reasoning behind it but did try resetting (deleting) several PREF files, reinstalling the font, but nothing changed. I did find the following: Select ARIAL font and under FONT STYLE select the NARROW option. This will be give you the equivalent of NARROW REGULAR but there are no direct style options for italic, bold, or bold italic. Since I don't use the font that much, my only work around was to apply a stroke of .15-.25pt to the text for bold and a 20° shear for italic.
    If anybody's got a answer to why ARIAL NARROW got wrapped as a font style of ARIAL and not just a font, such ARIAL BLACK, etc., it would be greatly appreciated.

  • CS6 - Arial Narrow fonts do not show up

    I installed CS6 on a brand new computer with Win 7 Pro 64 bit.  The arial narrow font will not show up in the pull down menu for fonts.  This seems to be a common problem as there are a lot of results when searched online.  I tried several of the solutions, but none have worked.  Some people have said it is a Microsoft Office thing.  I found a hotfix for Office 2007, but I am using Office 2010 so the hotfix does not apply.  Has anybody ever figured this out?  Please help.

  • Arial Narrow Font not embedded PDF when generated on server

    Hi,
    I'm struggling with some font issues. My report contains only Arial or Arial Narrow subset font. These fonts are installed on all client and server machines. When I render the report locally and export it to pdf then everything works fine, the report looks
    ok and when checking the pdf properties the Arial narrow font has been embedded. After deploying it to a SSRS server 2008 R2 and render it from this server the export to pdf converts the Arial Narrow font to Helvetica messing up my report.
    Any ideas how to maintain the Arial Narrow font?
    As far as I can tell every condition as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(SQL.100).aspx are met. 

    Hi hans0305,
    According to your description that you have problem with the font in the PDF, The font type is correct when you export report to PDF in the Preview but font changed from Arial Narrow to Helvetica when export to PDF in the Report Server, right?
    This problem is related to the font-embedding of PDF. The font Arial Narrow haven’t embedded successfully to the PDF. Please check in the client machine which the report server and report manger located to make sure the Arial Narrow font have been installed
    correctly by enter the Control Panel and select the “Font”.
    For the client machine, closing all instances of the PDF viewer then reopening them should fix the issue. If the issue still persists, you may need a full machine reboot to get the client/server to recognize the newly installed font, you can also try an
    reinstall of the font Arial Narrow.

  • Problems with reader an arial narrow font

    like the title of the thread says , y have a problem opening some pdfs , not with all , the problem is an error message telling me that  the arial narrow font is not available and the pdf is filled with dots instead of characters . I´ve tried to change fonts folder in windows but it didnt result , so i dont know what to do , i´ve also tried use the option of use local fonts only but it doesn´t works.
    PD: Sorry for my bad english , I hope someone could help me , thanks in advance

    I believe the .lst font files only exist on mac, and the PC .lst file are some MS office format.
    Have not used amp font viewer as I have suitcase on my Win machine, but try closing all unnecesary fonts, especially arial narrow. I do remember an ID conflict with one of the olders versions of Helvetica Neu with arial.
    Did this used to work before and is something that started up recently, you may want to look into what new installs you had, search through and kill your processes one by one, or do a system restore.
    Finally I would look at your copy of arial bold, and disbale that and install and opentype version. The newer opentype version will probably use one fo the newer FOND IDs adn you will have access to more characters and be crossplatfrom. If you cannot disbale arial bold, then it is the version that is one of the sytem core fonts, and you can try repairing your windows install which may replace that.
    You may have a bad sector, run checkdisk

  • Why are my desktop fonts not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore?

    Why are my desktop fonts are not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore? I know that my desktop fonts are not web safe and will export as an image... But I would still like to have them as an option. Why did this start with the latest release? I cannot find anything in the preferences or menus to make them show up as an option. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and Muse 2014.0.1.30 CL785017. Please help!!!

    Hello,
    Could you please try the following:-
    Reboot in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key (it takes a while) so the OS clears the font cache.
    Reboot then in normal mode and the fonts should show properly.

  • Why are colors faded when saving from Photoshop? And other weird things...

    I'm working on a file that's a CMYK default US Web Coated SWOP v2 file. I've tried saving to tiff and jpg from this file and both save faded versions. See below:
    Here's how it looks in PS:
    And as a jpg:
    And then another very bizarre thing... I saved it as a pdf to see how the colors would look and when viewing it in acrobat pro, I saw this:
    ....this is the same exact file as the other 2... Nothing was changed other than saving as pdf... Now I have 2 questions!
    Thanks for your help and expertise,
    Sarah

    If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK.  Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used  and all devices calibrated well  colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off  when color management is not done.  Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
    Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile.  You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
    In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit  all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

  • Why are there free fonts included with Adobe Reader?

    I noticed that there is a folder with free Adobe fonts included with Adobe Reader. The fonts are Courier Std, Minion Pro and Myriad Pro.
    Why are these fonts included? Will these fonts be included with future versions of Adobe Reader?

    The fonts are only for use with Adobe Reader. You should not attempt to use them for any other purpose. They are included with software that is free of charge, but still subject to license and may not be copied to other systems...
    All versions of Adobe Reader have included some fonts, but they change.
    They are mainly there to help Adobe Reader show PDF files that do not embed fonts, to generate substitutions in a wide range of sizes and shapes.

  • Why are all my fonts capital letters only?

    I was trying to design a birthday invite the other day and all of my fonts are only typing in capital letters. The caps lock is not on and i tried messing with the button on my keyboard thinking maybe it was sticking but this problem is only happening in photoshop. How did my fonts become all caps locked and how can i fix it?

    AWESOME! Thanks so much! Such and easy fix, can't understand why Tech support on the phone couldn't answer that question without wanting to charge me $40!!

  • Why are my photos on recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, shown as touching their neighbours both above, below and at sides, and in effect have become a wall of photos! What has gone wrong?

    I have recently downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade to PSE 8 which I have run for a year or two. Whenever I add photos to PSE 13, they appear as normal except that there is no space around each individual entry and all photos are crammed together and appear as a wall of photos. Why is this? What has gone wrong?

    Moving the discussion to Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Why are webpages narrow on Windows 7 with Firefox 6?

    Recently got a new PC that has Windows 7 installed. I downloaded Firefox as my browser. Version 6. All webpages are narrow and font size is small. Do no have this problem if I use IE. Is there a setting that I need to change in Firefox?

    If you have increased the minimum font size then choose the default setting "none".
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • Why are Apple MM fonts 0kb in system/library/fonts?

    The title says it all. Both Helvetica and Times are 0kb on several of the Macs on my LAN, but not all. Why?
    On some Macs they have a size, as any "healthy" font would.
    10.6.6 or 10.6.7 both have the anomoly.

    Then I went back to automator, and now it was in
    French, which was the new #2 language!
    So I think there's something wrong with my english
    settings, although most apps do appear in English,
    just a few apple ones.
    Did you also do this as recommended earlier?
    "Do Get Info on the icon for any program affected and hit the Languages tab and make sure English is checked and Japanese is not checked. "
    Also create another account and see if the same problem exists. If not, it probably means you have bad caches or .plists in the main account.
    What may have happened is that you have lost (or lost access to) the English localization files for those particular apps. You might try repairing permissions, and if that doesn't work perhaps reinstalling the apps.
    Will Fontbook work from another account?

  • Why are the colors in Illustrator and Photoshop so off?

    Hi,
    Let me just start off by saying I have the color mode in both Illustrator and Photoshop set to RGB. Yet, there is a noticeable color difference between a picture on the internet and when I paste it in for example Photoshop.
    Picture from the internet:
    Picture when pasted in Photoshop:
    It's the same thing in Illustrator. And this is not just with pictures by the way, it's affects all the colors I use, which is a major pain in the rear.
    Anyone know a fix?

    Well, my suggestion in post #13, was to help me find out what the cause of your problem is. It doesn’t solve your problem permanently but temporarily, only for the current session of Photoshop or Illustrator by making these programs show your image without applying any color management conversions.  So, you have to do this every time you open such files in these programs.
    If you want to understand what is going on and be in control, you have to go through a lot of walls of text unfortunately .
    I’ll try to explain it roughly but if you don’t understand it you need to read more about color management.
    You are using Safari and this is how its color management  works:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/technotes/tn2220/_index.html
    on that page it says:
    "Important: For images that are not tagged with a color profile, their color values will be displayed on the screen by Safari with no optimization or adjustment for differences between devices in how they render colors. This may result in the colors not being displayed as originally intended"
    This made me think that like most images on the web, the image you are using doesn’t have a color profile. In that case, assuming a certain scenario based on your input, the reason it is displayed differently from Photoshop and Illustrator is because you have a color profile of your monitor used by your system that is different than the color space used for the display of the image. By default RGB Images without a color profile are displayed using  the color space set for the working space in the Color Settings of Photoshop and Illustrator. Also by default this color space is sRGB.  If your monitor was also with an sRGB profile assigned in the system, which is the case with all monitors that come without a color profile provided from the manufacturer, you should have not experienced this problem because Photoshop and Illustrator will see that the color space you want to display your image is sRGB and your monitor is sRGB, and there will be no color conversions because both color spaces, source and destination are the same.  Unless someone else has setup your system ,color management, and installed a monitor profile,  my guess is that the manufacturer of your monitor has provided a color profile installed in your system that is not sRGB.
    When you choose View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB, this in effect turns off the color management because you are displaying the image in the same color space as the one assigned to your monitor.
    If you want to turn off the color management permanently which will be valid only when displaying images in the sRGB color space, you can assign the sRGB color profile to your monitor. This will show the images on your monitor with the same colors as those displayed without color management in the other applications and choosing View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB will make no difference.
    Non color managed programs can display the color only in the way your monitor displays it. Color managed programs simulate other outputs on your monitor. The only way to match the display in color managed and non color managed software is to turn off the color managed software. This will display the same color values with the same color in all programs on your monitor.
    The purpose of the color management is to allow the viewer  see the colors as intended (the way the creator sees them when creating the image). Different devices and media output the same color values differently resulting in different color. Therefore, when the viewer uses different device or media the colors if not color managed properly will look different or not as close as possible.
    When you turn off the color management, or even when it is on but not properly applied, which I suspect is the case in your situation, you can’t be sure that the colors you see are as intended. In other words, you can’t tell if an image is supposed to look the way you see it, and you can’t create images providing means that will allow others to see them the way you see them. 
    So, for whatever reasons you want to make colors look the same in all your programs, have in mind that this is valid only on the current state of your monitor, and this also cuts the possibility to see and send to others colors as intended.
