Why font styles fail to work

I am using Windows 7. In Indesign 5.0 some fonts do not appear with their styles. For example, a particular font has 4 variants (Normal, Bold, Bold Italic and Italic). But only one style appears in Indesign.
I have tried to put all the four fonts in Indesign > fonts folder also. Yet it fails.
Can anybody help.

"SwitzerlandCondensed", on the other hand, sounds like a cheap copy -- or even a ripped-off version (of, possibly, a cheap copy).
Cheap Copiers don't take the time and effort to fill in all required fields necessary to uniquely identify fonts and still maintain proper linkage between its variants. InDesign is very careful in accepting such fonts, and if there is reason not to use it, it won't show up in ID's font list. (But even then it's known to sometimes choke on such malformed fonts.)
Only with some very careful and time-consuming cross-checking of every single parameter in the fonts you could solve this -- and to "repair" it needs a deep knowledge of the font file format. For this case, I simply would not bother:
Advice #1: don't use any such fonts.
Advice #2: don't attempt to use this font in particular. You've already found reasons not to.

Why the style doesn't work?

It's my very second test using Flex.
quote:
<mx:Application ...>
<mx:Style>
Text{
backgroundColor:#FFFFFF;
</mx:Style>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Text />
</mx:HBox> ...
</mx:Application>
This code doesn't work. I'd like to set my text control's
background to white. Why is it wrong?
Thanks.

Because mx:Text does not have a backgroundColor
style/property.

Why would hyperlinks fail to work half-way through generated PDF?

I'm trying to create a PDF of a MS Word file using the Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF function. In the generated PDF, half-way through the file the hyperlinks stop working although they display correctly. In the source Word file, the links work fine. The Word file is heavily cross referenced and is about 14 MB. It was originally a 26MB file, but I reduced the filesize by converting the embedded graphics from embedded Visio objects to .wmf images.
My question - what would make the hyperlinks fail? Is it a system processing issue? The rest of the PDF seems fine. Note that the final PDF also contains bookmarks. All other PDFs I generate work correctly.
System Details:
Word 2003
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional
Windows XP, Version 2002, SP2
789 MHz, 3GB RAM
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just in case, I would suggest updating your Acrobat. You have to install the updates in order, but AA7 is currently at 7.1.2. The updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. Version 7.0.1 is a very early version. The latter versions (7.1.x) were primarily security updates. The 7.0.x updates were fixing a lot of the bugs.

Why does javascript fail to work at gmail on IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 systesms?

Sorry about asking this question again; but I have not gotten a responce
in over 6 months.
Both firefox 3 and seamonkey 2 seem to have the same problem
on IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 systems.
If I try to login to gmail using their standard method (Not HTML)
I can not select any folder. If I select a folder firefox hang.
I just see a message saying "Loading".
I am also experiencing problems when I access my financial
institutions (Online banking!).
I believe the problem is in the javascript implementation.
Not sure about gmail; but I do know that the problem at
my financial institusions sites has to do with executing
a javascript.
"I really need some help. firefox and seamonkey are the
only browsers that have been ported to my systems."
If some one can tell me where to look or what is causing the
problem I can submit a problem report to IBM and have them
fix the problem in their version of firefox. So far IBM has not
been able to figure out what is causing the problem.
I really should upgrade to firefox 3.6.18 and seamonkey 2.0.14; but
I can not find a working version. The only thing that works on my
system is firefox 2.0.0.20 and seamonkey 1.1.18. I keep getting security warning when I uses these browsers.
I really would appreciate some help!

Why is Safari failing to work on more and more websites?

From unresponsive form boxes, to failure to respond to search requests, to working with 1Password extension, the Apple browser has stopped being effective and unresponsive on more and more websites.
I switch to Firefox and all is well. What gives?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Why are some font styles not available in the Typewriter function?

I would like to use Arial Narrow Bold, however it is not listed. I do have this font style in C:\Window\Fonts but it does not show up when I use they typewriter function. I am able to use this font style in Adobe when in the forms field. Is there a way to update the fonts available for the Typewriter?
Thanks for any advice!

I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.

I need the font style century gothic for a project im working on, but neither my final cut pro x nor my photoshop have this font style. Where do you get/buy new fonts?

Not on this list.
Maybe it gets installed with something else? For example, I have MS Ofiice on the 10.7 system but not on the others.

Why can't I change my font style, and please don't give me a apple approved generic answer, please give me a reasonable answer as to why, not just because we designed it that way.

Not able to get font style for some fonts

Hi,
I am getting font style(like regular, bold, italic etc) like this-
while (count < fontCount) {//loop , which iterate throgh used fonts.
                                                  ATE::IFont currentFont = fontRefArray.Item(count);
                                                  if (!currentFont.IsNull()) {
                                                            FontRef fontRef = currentFont.GetRef();
                                                            AIFontKey fontKey = NULL;
                                                            result = sAIFont->FontKeyFromFont(fontRef, &fontKey);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetUserFontName(fontKey, fontname, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetPostScriptFontName(fontKey, psname, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetFontStyleName(fontKey, stylename, 50);
                                                            result = sAIFont->GetFontFamilyUIName(fontKey, familyname, 50);
For some fonts(not all the fonts) , Style name is comming as empty string, however for other fonts its working. Not sure why its working for some fonts and not for others. Other font properties are coming fine for all fonts.
When its failing, result is not kNoErr, but i dont know that how to get the exact error?Please help me in this issue.
Regards,
Harsh

Hi A. Patterson,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried GetFontStyleUINameUnicode() also but its also returning the emply string for style name for some of the fonts only difference is that error is kNoErr for all fonts. May be there is some problem with those specific fonts(who knows? ). m keep digging this.
Regards,
Harsh

Unable to search for font style Italic

In InDesign's Find/Change dialog, I click on the Find Format magnifying glass to open the Find Format Settings dialog. I click on the Basic Character Formats tab, and in the Font Style field I select 'Italic' from the dropdown menu. When I release the mouse button, the field displays 'Regular', not 'Italic'. If I key the word 'Italic' in the field, the same thing happens. The only way I've been able to get around this is to specify the Font Family as well, but I want to search for Italic Font Style regardless of the Font Family (there are several in the document). I haven't specified any other search details in either the Find/Change dialog or the Find Format Settings dialog. I'm currently using CS5.5 but I've experienced this problem dozens of times in both CS4 and CS5.5. I have a vague recollection of occasionally being able to do it, but if so it's been very rare.
Is there a reason why this is happening? Is there any way to search for Italic Font Style regardless of Font Family?

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks for the script, it worked fine, but on top of that it inadvertently revealed what is going on with this issue.
When I ran the script, the Find Format field in the Find/Change dialog showed '+Italic'. However, when I went into the Find Format Settings dialog, the Font Style field said 'Regular'. When I exited the Find Format Settings dialog, the Find Format field still said '+Italic'. The Find process worked fine, that is, it found text formatted as Italic.
I then went back to what I was originally doing, without using the script, and exactly the same thing happened. The two fields didn't match up, but the Find operation worked fine.
I'm currently working in CS5.5, but as I recently purchased CS6, I tried it in that program and exactly the same thing happened. And just to confirm my recollection, I tried it in CS4 and it happened there too.
I realise also why it has occasionally worked OK. Sometimes I would have entered Italic in the Font Style field and immediately clicked OK to exit the Find Format Settings dialog, and I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. But once I got used to the problem, I started to make a habit of tabbing out of the Font Style field 'just to make sure'. I would have seen it revert to Regular, and I would have just given up and (unnecessarily) worked my way through the font families one by one.
Anyway, now that I know what's going on, it's not a problem at all, but it's odd that it's persisted through at least three versions of InDesign. Thanks, Jongware, for your help.
Does this happen on Windows? Has anyone else on a Mac experienced this strange behaviour?

Font style not available on select machines (Captivate 5)

Cap community,
For most of our projects, I selected Lucida Sans as the default font for most caption types. Internally we would hand a single project file off between 2-3 different people and didn't have any issue until recently my boss does not have the Lucida Sans Regular font style while at least three others of us do.
Below and left is a screenshot from my machine that shows the Regular font style. Below and right is a screenshot from my boss showing the missing Regular font style.
The obvious thing to check is that she does in fact have the same font family and not just the Italic, Demibold Italic, and Demibold families. However, we both have the same font on our Windows > Fonts folder. Here is a screenshot of that font from the Windows font viewer. The font name is Lucida Sans Regular (TrueType) and the filename is LSANS.TTF (oddly enough, the font viewer describes it as OpenType even though the name in Windows Explorer reads TrueType... but this is the same for both our machines so it doesn't appear to be a different variable).
We even carefully uninstalled her Lucida Sans font family and copy/pasted my font file to her machine to ensure we had the same one, and still no joy. Has anyone run across this issue? Seems like it could be either a font issue or Captivate, but leaning toward Captivate since we feel relatively sure that we have the same font.
BTW, as a result of this difference when she opens the .cpx project file I'm working on it replaces all the Regular font styles with her Demibold or Demibold Italic, which throws everything off if she wants to publish to swf or Word doc.
Best,
Danny

Hi Danny
Two things:
First, please submit this as a bug to Adobe using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (link is in my sig)
I say this because Adobe needs to be aware of this issue. And it relates directly to my second thing below.
Secondly, I've seen others report missing fonts and such that were present in Captivate 4 but not in Captivate 5. To date, I don't recall seeing anyone from adobe answer any of these threads with a reason or a solution. So I'm hopeful that by all affected reporting this as a bug, someone will finally hear back from Adobe on the issue. If that happens, I'm also hopeful that one of these threads will be updated to advise why this is happening.
Cheers... Rick

PC Suite 7 - Loading Style Failed - Clean Vista ma...

Hello,
I work at a company that migrates from windows XP to Vista , we are trying to deploy PC Suite on a clean vista machine , and we tried on several machines. but the application straight downloaded from nokia.com/pcsuite starts with an error. its shows a little popup box telling "loading style failed" some how the gui doesnt start up.
on 5 machines the same error pops up but on 1 machine afther a new ghost has been placed on it) it did start up but the gui was completely messed up (small letters , or no letters, size of the gui was wrong so buttons where shown half). then exiting the application trough right click on the tray icon of PCSync it came with the same error starting it up the next time.
Fun thing is that all the applications work fine, when we start the executables, as example
C:\Program Files\Nokia\PC Suite 7\contentcopier.exe
C:\Program Files\Nokia\PC Suite 7\videomanager.exe
and so on.
But the PCSuite.exe wont load. (and the get connected(.exe) wizard also switches back to Pcsuite.exe when exiting
I tried with several profiles and also machine configurations. compatibility mode, run as administrator and so on..and so on.. but sofar no luck.
i think it might be a policy or other (3rd party software) interference on our end. but i have no clue where to start looking.
Some help would be greatly apreciated.
Kind regards
Arnold

Thank you AdrianHughes for your swift reply,
i just downloaded as suggested the latetst version of Ovi Suite, are you shure its not still in beta testing ?, cause this final release that i downloaded starts up with a Portugese-Brazillian interface & licence agreement. then it wants to check for updates wich i allowed to do (ofcourse we want the latest version)
while installing this message popped up:
Seems the common Dell Optiplex 775 (business pc) isnt supported
So im sorry to say this isnt gonna work for me (my company) since this machine configuration is used alround .. and if i package this and distribute it, it might not work on slightly different configurations)
I had a program running in the back that recorded everything the application does so lets see what it actually did ... extracted/downloaded several files to %appdata%\OviInstallerCache including 2 of the 3 Prerequirements (being windows components).
but what amazed me more is that this application is build on the *old* components of Pc Suite 7 what didnt work in the first place under vista (even tho these are loose components) And nokia made it even harder to deploy this software using microsoft installer technologie .. instead of making 1 Msi file to be installed.. they now have a total of 9 MSI files whilest PC suite 7 had 4..
Prerequirements:
WindowsMediaFormat11.msi
VC90-x86.msi (or 64)
MSXML6.msi
Application it self:
NokiaConnectivityDriver.msi (same as nokia pc suite 7 *maybe slightly changed)
PCCS.msi (same as nokia pc suite 7 *maybe slightly changed)
OviTrilogy.msi
Oviplatform.msi
Nokia_Ovi_Suite_Software_updater_1_8__39420.msi
Nokia_Ovi_Suite.msi
Why not make 1 msi file for deployment.. well atleast thanks for the support sofar, if any one else has an idea on how to fix this problem with pc suite 7 im all ears.(eyes on screen)
Kind Regards
Arnold

Email font style and size

Lately my email font style and size setting will not save. I have to keep setting them each time I type an email. I do not want to use the default style and size. Why is this not working even though I follow the suggested instructions in the Settings area? Thank you.

I have the same problem as kakingsbury. THIS IS A SUDDEN PROBLEM WITH VERIZON EMAIL. PLEASE SEND A FIX TO YOUR USERS, VERIZON!
Recipients of my email (browser is Chrome) cannot read it because though I send it in 12 font, they receive it in "too small to read" font even when I change the size to 16. Tried changing from RTF to plain text but since the New Verizon email does not allow email in plain text it automatically adjusts back to RTF.
Tried changing the settings in Chrome Advanced settings then logging out and closing browser. Seems to work. Not sure if recipients will be able to read it.
