    Why can't I use Vietnamese fonts with Adobe Elements 10

  • Why can I not use Dina-font as a Xft font?(SOLVED)

    If I use the following code with i.e. dzen2: -*-dina-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 everything works fine. The problem is that I want to use it in awesome's statusbar, but ASFAIK it only uses Xft fonts.
    Dina fonts are stored in *.bdf.pcf.gz files and as I understand it these font types should be usable in Xft oriented apps. Or what?
    Any hints/help are appreciated.

    IT works fine for me, this is what I have in my .Xdefaults:
    urxvt*font: xft:Dina:size=10
    These are the font files I have on my system:
    $ ls -l /usr/share/fonts/local/Dina*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24K 2008-02-08 00:54 /usr/share/fonts/local/DinaBold10.pcf

    Maye sure that you have correct font paths in your xorg.conf, and mayre fun mkfontdir/mkfontscale on the directory where you have installed the font.
    EDIT: I don't use awesome anymore, but "Dina-10" worked just fine in awesomerc (if I remember correctly).

  • Why can't i use special fonts in preloader

    hi,
    im having trouble with embedding a specific font in my
    preloader.
    flash only lets me use device fonts (arial, courier etc.), if
    i try to embed the characters, it wont show anything at all in the
    loader.
    1) html
    2) source
    fla
    thanks for any replies guys!

    In your .fla, you have the dynamic text object in frame 1 of
    the first
    layer. In the second frame, you have an blank keyframe and
    the
    actionscript to control the dynamic text.
    Move that keyframe with the actionscript to a new layer on
    frame 1, you
    should get much better results.

    g -
    I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Why can't I use the Edit with Illustrator or Edit with Photoshop features in FrameMaker12?

    Why can't I use these features any more?
    I also can't use the Launch Photoshop or Launch Illustrator features. I use the Adobe Master Collection 6 for those products.
    Adobe Captivate is also grayed out.

    Unless you installed FM as part of TCS5, it's unlikely FM 12 knows the
    software locations and has tied into the other programs.
    Since you just installed, I'd call Adobe Support for help because they do
    free installation troubleshooting.

  • Why can't I use word, excel etc after upgrading OS X lion ?

    Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

    Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

  • Why can´t I use inport VI in win xp even when I have used userport aplication?

    why can´t I use inport VI in win xp even when I have used userport aplication for enabling port reading in this plattform?, I´m getting data from the parallel port in epp mode, my pc´s pararell is ok bcs I can read data in c++

    If you have an older LabVIEW (6.1 or earlier) you will need to exchange the in port and out port VIs that came with LabVIEW with different ones and install a DLL. The reason is documented here . This link (which is the first link returned when you search ni.com for "in port") explains basically that the OS won't let you until you have kernel level access. The devzone link at the bottom of the refered page will include all of the code that you need to install (VIs and DLL) to make it work.

    Thank you

    Hi,
    Does the ManyCam option appear in other apps ?
    Messages for instance or Photo Booth ?
    In Messages you will have to go to the Preferences > Video section and the camera drop down (below the pic)
    In Photo Booth there are no Preferences as such and you use the Camera Menu. (when you have two cameras)
    One reason for not seeing the Many Cam is you have not restarted the computer since installing it.

  • Why can't I re-install CS4?

    Dear friends on the forum:
    I recently purchased Abode CS4 on-line
    and managed to install it OK.  Just the other day, however, it crashed and wouldn't let me launch it again so I
    uninstalled CS4, used Cleanscript then re-downloaded the program and re-installed it--or tried to!  What I got was that little window that appears right off the bat
    saying "Adobe Premiere Pro Installer: Initiallizing" with the caption below reading "Checking System Profile"  All well and good.  However, that thin blue line indicated progress of the process gets 90% accross then stops, never to go to the end.
    Any suggestions as to what I might do about this?   I have a PC running Windows XP Home Edition with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 2.8 GHz and 2.5 GB of RAM.
    Many thanks for any and all input!
    Regards, Lewis

    Yes I did buy my copy of CS4 from Adobe, Bill.  I didn't deactivate my copy before uninstalling, however.  How does one do that?  In any case, I went through this twice.  The first time, I simply uninstalled CS4 by going through the control panel.  Then I ran Clean Script but, of course, CS4 was already gone so I uninstalled all other CS4 applications (like Encore).   I then reinstalled CS4 from the setup file that was already on my computer and it was when that problem with "Checking System Components"or however it was phrasedcame up.  I tried uninstalling everything again and deleting the setup files, re-downloading it all and trying to re-re-install!  Same problem.
    I tried the link to kindly provided but it led me to "Unexpected Error" at the site where it was supposed to be.  I will try again later.  In the meantime, if you have any further suggestions in light of the above, I'd be humbly grateful. 
    A computer-savvy friend suggested that I purchase a new hard drive, install it on my computer along with my O/S (Windows XP) and CS4 and get the BIOS to point to that drive when it goes to boot up the computer.  He said that I should dedicate this drive exclusively to my video work.  Does any of this make sense? 
    Many thanks!
    In appreciation, Lewis

    Subject: Why can't I re-install CS4?
    First, when you say that you bought CS4 "online," did you buy from Adobe Store?
    Before you did the uninstall, did you deactivate your copy?
    Here is a basic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/569663?tstart=0 that covers general installation issues with Adobe programs.
    Good luck,

  • Why can't I re-install my PS Elements 11 on a new computer.

    Why can't I re-install my PS Elements 11 on a new computer. It has been removed from the old machine. I have paid for a license key and would like to install it on my new HP. It tells me that the license key has expired. Why, I was unaware of obsolescence?. I am not very happy!

    Why can't I use Siri or the GPS features while traveling in a vehicle? Works in home, shops,hotels, and other fixed places.

  • Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

    Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time?  If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???    

    I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here.  Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
    Q:Did you download from this location?  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
    A: Yes
    Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
    A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
    Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error.  An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again.  If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support.  I did so and was told "This page is not available"
    Q: Did you try to download again and install?
    A:  Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB.  I tried many other devices; none worked.
