Why are my fonts in different groups in Illustrator CS5?

I am running Illustrator CS5 on a Laptop PC. I am constantly installing new fonts to work on customer projects...
I have noticed that sometimes the fonts appear in the font list in alphabetical order, and sometimes they appear either towards the top or bottom (not in order), or they are in a completely separate grouping at the bottom of the list. Is there any fix for this? I'd prefer that they all be in Alphabetical order if possible...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Scott. F.

Check the font prefs and the various text-cnetric panels' options. this happenes when you choose to group by English name, but the font is encoded for a different region/ uses a different set of characters.

  • Why are my fonts changing while I type in cs5?

    I just got a new PC and installed AI CS5.  Been using it for a long time with no issues on previous PC.  Now when I attempt to edit text, while I type the font mysteriously changes to Chinese characters or some odd, widely spaced serif font.  Type menu won't change it.  I'm baffled, and it's made AI nearly unusable for my needs.  While typing, a strange gray bar appears below the characters, which is a sign that this problem is starting.  Restarting the application fixes it for a few minutes, but not every time, and it reverts back to the same problem shortly after.
    I'm probably missing some helpful details, so please ask for clarification.  Any help would be invaluable.
    Thanks.

    Hi Mylenium,
    you are completely correct. I think the issue was due to some strange document settings carried over from CS3. I ended up trashing those files and pasting into fresh CS5 documents, which corrected the issue. However I can't reproduce the issue now
    Thanks for your help though, and I appologise for the lack of documentation.
    Cheers,
    Cheyenne

  • Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

    Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

    Are you referring to an icon that looks like a monitor and has the word exec in green on it? If so, that's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this file is".
    I'm guessing you're trying to use an incompete Type 1 PostScript font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
    Adobe Garamond
    AGarBol
    AGarBolIta
    AGarIta
    AGarReg
    AGarSem
    AGarSemIta
    The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
    1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
    2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
    3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

  • Why are the fonts so small since I upgraded? I have difficulty reading folder names even when I wear my reading glasses.

    Why are the fonts so small since I upgraded? I have difficulty reading folder names even when I wear my reading glasses.

    Kirby:
    . What version of OS X?
    10.6.8 - latest Snow Leopard.
    . How are you determining the size of the Vault?
    Using Finder: "Size 5.8 MB on disk".
    . What exactly did you do that you describe as "I decided to set up a Vault to back up to the Time Machine external hard drive.".  In general, Time Machine should be on a drive dedicated to it (that is, with nothing else on it).
    Oops, right: I meant Time Capsule. Time Machine is backing up to the Time Capsule, but I thought I could also use the Time Capsule as an external hard drive as well as a target for Time Machine. So, this is a non-no?
    . How many images show up when you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and filter using the Filter Rule "File Status" with the argument "Referenced"?
    1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
    2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
    But, using Finder:
    iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
    Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
    Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

  • Why are some fonts blank in my CS5 character panel?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering why some fonts arent visible in my character viewer. I am using Illustrator Version15.0.2 on a MacBook Pro running 10.9.1. I have included 2 screen shots below for a visual reference.
    AND
    Additionally, I'd like to understand how the fonts in the character viewer menu are organized. I know they are alphabetical, but what are the grey divider lines representing?
    Can I deactivate non-english language fonts so that this menu is less conjested with fonts I never use? I've used Illustrator for years and am finally getting around to asking this question. I can't seem to find a straight forward answer regarding which fonts are actually non-english. As a side note, I use Font Explorer X Pro to manage my fonts.
    Thanks for any insight into this.

    I cross referenced with Photoshop's character menu, and they are showing up there. I included screenshots from Photoshop below. It looks like they are all non-English character fonts. They are not fonts I installed, but one's that are housed in my Library/Fonts folder. I'm not sure if they have always been in there, as they may have been installed with my Mavericks upgrade. They definitly came with either OSX or Mavericks. I will send a few to you if you would still like me to.
    Best,
    Erin

  • Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

    why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

    What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
    If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
    iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
    So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames

  • Why are these fonts auto activating?

    I've just updated to Tiger 10.4.8. One day later I install CS2 (previously had CS).
    I use FontAgent Pro. Now, whenever I open Safari or any CS2 app. (just the app, not an actual document) a bunch of fonts are auto activated which I don't want to be activated, and as far as I know don't need to be activated. They are Devangari MT, Geeza Pro, Gujarati MT, Gurmukhi MT, Hirangino Kaku Gothic Pro, LiHei Pro, STHeiti, Times, and Photoshop also auto activates Osaka.
    Can anyone throw any light on this? I've posted in the Adobe forum (as not really sure if it's a mac thing or an adobe thing) but had no answers. Thanks

    Hi Kathydate,
    It doesn't matter what manager a person may be using. If any of the Fonts folders have something in them, they will be active. Check these folders for the fonts.
    /System/Library/Fonts/
    /Library/Fonts/
    ~/Library/Fonts/ (the tilde means your home account)
    The Adobe apps have their own folder at:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/
    If there are any fonts in that folder you want to remove, do not remove the folder "Reqrd" or any of the items in it. The Adobe apps need those fonts to operate.
    For more details on font locations and which you can remove, see my article, Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther.

  • Why Are My Fonts and Imported Photos Pixelated in Photoshop?

    It is so strange. I worked on a Photoshop document earlier today. I imported a photo and wrote text on it. When I printed it, it came out perfect. Then I started a new document. I imported a photo which is 2400 pixels wide. The document size is only 11 inches wide so the photo should stay nice a sharp. I also wrote text on the document. Both in screen mode and when I print this new document, everything is pixelated and fuzzy, not crisp like my first document. Also, when I type text the font is in SHARP mode so I don't see what the problem is. Please help? Please help me get sharp prints again.
    Thank you,
    David

    I have never had this issue before. Whenever I PLACED a document, it was always sharp, no matter what size the document was? Also, why is the font type pixelated? I would be happy to send you the PSD so you can see for yourself.

  • Why are contacts listed in a group in my address book, missing when I try to email that group?

    I created a group in my contacts.  I have added more people to this group and it now contains 57.  However when I go to mail the group, only 43 of the contacts show up.  How do I fix this?

    I'm guessing you are still sending to a "group MMS".  Look at the top of the message, does it say "Group MMS" and does the "to" line state something like your GFs name & x more?  If yes, then you are still sending to the group.
    To get back to only your GF go to CONTACTS, find your GF, tap "Send Message", select her cell number.  Hope that works.

  • Why are certain fonts showing up in Japanese in Illustrator CS6

    In Illustrator CS5, I would use a font called Kozuka Mincho Pro/EL.  Illustrator's font selector would show the font with the English name.  I'm on a Mac running 10.7.4 and Font Book shows me the font with the English name as well.  After upgrading to CS6, the font name in Illustrator is being displayed in Japanese.  Unfortunately, I don't read Japanese.  Is there some way to correct this on my end or is there a bug in Illustrator CS6?

    Hi D Holcomb
    If you acess Illustrator > Preferences > Type section there´s a field you can enable called Show font names in English.
    If you enable this option...does the Kozuka font continue to be showed in japanese?
    Best Regards
    Gustavo.

  • Why are the fonts in the fillable fields changing in reader?

    Hello, I created a fillable pdf in acrobat. When I open the pdf in reader on my iPad the fonts in the fillable fields change. It is throwing off the fields and things don't line up correctly. I can't figure out how to correct the problem or why it's happening in the first place. Also, the fields behave differently in preview on my Mac. The fonts are correct but the placement is off. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

    Solved it! I went back into acrobat and locked the appearance of all my text fields. Everything now appears as it should in reader.    Still have no idea why I needed to do that?

  • Why are my fonts and font sizes completely haywire in 6.0.1?

    I have never has issues with fonts and Firefox. I upgraded to 6.0 two days ago and everything turned to Arial Narrow. Fonts were smaller, fonts are mismatched on pages and look strange. I tried changing the options and setting minimum font sizes and font faces, but when I use the back button these font faces and sizes no longer exist and I see the page in Arial Narrow again. This is so frustrating - I can't even browse the web because I can't read the darn thing.

    Check the font prefs and the various text-cnetric panels' options. this happenes when you choose to group by English name, but the font is encoded for a different region/ uses a different set of characters.

  • Why are my fonts and graphics not showing up on some computers?

    Help for a newbie?
    I just published my first website! It's pretty basic, but I
    learned a lot.... But some of the colors and fonts show up
    differently on different computers. Also, I created an image that
    had gray and white marbling and it showed up as just gray on the
    website.
    Can you tell me what I need to do to make my graphics show up
    properly?

    > Colours are subjective which is why there are "web safe"
    colours, these
    are
    > alleged to look the same on every PC
    Sorry, but that is NOT what web-safe colors refer to. In the
    old days many
    users had 8-bit graphics cards capable of displaying only 256
    colors.
    Web-safe colors were those included in the most common 256
    color palette.
    Today hardly anybody uses 8-bit graphics cards so designers
    are safe using
    full-color (24- or 32-bit) palettes. Your comment that colors
    are subjective
    is correct if you mean that colors will often display
    somewhat differently
    computer to computer. This is because of the wide variation
    of graphic
    cards, monitors, room lighting, etc. What looks like dark red
    on my screen
    might look brown on another. This is unavoidable.

  • Why are my contacts under the group Professional?

    My contacts have always been disappearing whenever I'd restore my phone/iPad, and I never knew why until a few days ago. It turns out that ever since I've been making contacts from who knows how long ago- my contacts have been saved under a group called "Professional."
    I don't know what that group would be other than my email that I labeled Professional. Which, I don't understand why my contacts would be saved on that account, I only use it for email and never told my contacts to save to it. Also, I can't find any way to switch it to iCloud or even my sim cars. It's really annoying because I am often switching to a different iPhone or fresh restore and it stinks having my contacts unorganized. It's a mess.
    So anyway, I'm wondering how do I move the contacts from Professional to iCloud. I'd like to organize my contacts as much as possible and right now it's just the super opposite. There's Facebook causing duplicate contacts and it makes everything complicated- but that's a different story.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello Bobbert1yBobby
    If the contacts are on your iPhone and they are separated out with on your iPhone and then iCloud, then all you need to do is turn off iCloud contact syncing. It will ask to delete or keep the data; you will want to keep the data. After that then turn the syncing back on and it will merge everything to iCloud for contact syncing. If you are using Exchange to sync the other contacts, then they are kept separate. Check out the second article for more info on that and resolving duplicates if there are any.

  • Why are TypeKit fonts not displaying correctly in Pages (iWork)?

    I have just subscribed to TypeKit and am experiencing highly peculiar behavior from the two fonts I’m using in Pages (iWork): Basically, fonts in my document don’t respond appropriately to requested changes in style. For example, if I increase the point size by one point using the the formatting commands built into Pages, the font drops a point size. I’ve had the same experience using the kerning command, where the kerning decreases when I have set it to increase. (So far, the only fonts I’ve been using have been Futura PT and Proxima Nova.)
    Look at the example in the screenshot: “FEATURED EXPERT” on the top line shows in Pages as being 24pt Futura PT Book. However, “SOLO,” a few lines down, which is definitely displaying as smaller, shows as 25pt Futura PT
    In a potentially related issue, when I reopened this same document today, text boxes were suddenly too small for the text (again in Futura PT and Proxima Nova). It was as though Pages was suddenly reading those two fonts differently.
    I have had no issues with other (non-TypeKit) fonts in the same document.
    Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Any suggested fixes? I'm reluctant to unsync/resync the two affected fonts (the only ones I have sync'd to date) because I don't want to wreck the document!

    Thanks, Christopher. After I posted my original question, I did come to realize that it was Helvetica not Future PT showing. Here’s what happened, and here’s why I still need some guidance…
    The document dropped Future PT because when my wifi signal dropped, the Creative Cloud app displayed this error symbol (see graphic) in my menu bar.
    At that point, my computer could no longer access my TypeKit fonts and the document reverted to the system's Helvetica default.
    This was not an isolated incident.
    If I turn wifi off manually, there is no issue and CC continues to operate in the background as it should, with TypeKit fonts still available.
    However, if the wifi drops out on its own, I get the above error symbol and I then lose access to my TypeKit fonts. Very rarely, the CC app will self-correct when the signal is restored. More often than not, I must quit the CC app and relaunch it in order to get things back to normal.
    This doesn’t strike me as normal behavior Have you ever encountered anything like it? Do you know of  a fix that will allow the CC app to self-correct when the wifi signal is restored?
    Any assistance will be appreciated! 
    Thanks!
    P.S. TypeKit troubleshooting doesn’t address this particular issue.
