Why isnt Indesign CS5 showing "missing" fonts in the same way as previous versions?

A font in our layout is not displaying as italic (this is one of those situations where there are several weights in a font family and the italic is called Gotham Book Italic and not just Gotham Italic) and not highlighting at all in the layout with the pink box.
When you select the problematic type, the window shows it as [Italic] which would be fine on its own but when I go up to FIND FONT to find and replace all instances with the proper Italic font, it doesnt show up at all as a font, let alone as an issue.
So far, purchasing CS5 Design Premium seems to have been more trouble than its worth.

I think maybe it would be a good idea to run the file through .inx or .idml. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod?

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod? In itunes all you get is "Get Info" then "Lyrics" and that screen then locks itunes until you close it. Inflexible, annoying and surely unnecessary?

All songs need Album, Artist and title.
Also, look under Artist -> Compilations.

I recently created a new iPhoto library, why does it now show 2 iPhoto libraries the same and 1 being my new one when I hold option and open iPhoto at the same time?

I recently created a new iphoto library. It seems now that when I hold down the option key and open iphoto I now have 2 iphoto libraries (both the same library) as well as my new library which is now my default as I intended but why would I now have 2 listed the same in this box? When I go to finder>pictures there is only the 2!! I hope I am making sense!

Try the following to see if you can get rid of the ghost:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How to fix InDesign CS5 install/program-opening problems the "right" way?

After my second install of CS5 Design Premium, I was still having all sorts of problems with opening programs. InDesign was especially troublesome and I posted my woes at the bottom of this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/661059?tstart=0
John Hawkinson (presumably an Adobe employee) kindly replied suggested I start a new thread so he could help me debug properly. So while the iron is hot...I'm ready...let's debug. Can it be done in an hour?
Other comments from John H.:
"You should realize that removing the welcome screen plugin is not supported and can come back to bite you later on. It would be better to fix it properly. Probably by reinstalling InDesign."

After about a minute though, the program opened, welcome screen and all...
Oh dear. Well, then I guess it's not stuck.
So, we know it's not specific to your customizations from CS3 or otherwise, since it doens't affect your new user. So it's either something about InDesign's installation on your machine, or something about your machine in general.
I forgot to ask: Do you have any font management software installed? Have you tried disabling it? That has been the source of a variety of problems... One of the things InDesign does at startup is enumerate all the fonts on your system. Do you have a really large number?
How about any plugins for InDesign or other software that modifies its behavior?
I am mostly out of ideas. Your Sample Process output is not very informative to me. It looks like it is in the midst of calls to the operating system (all the CF* stuff is Apple's CoreFoundation code), rather than inside InDesign's code itself. Which could implicate...the operating system's font subsystem, graphics subsystem, or, well, almost anything.
I'm afraid I'm almost out of ideas. It would seem pointless to suggest you replace your preferences, since you started out with a clean user account.
You can certainly de-install CS5 and run the CS5 Cleaner Tool and then reinstall. No promises that it would work, though, it might just be a waste of your time
If you're feeling really exciting, the only other thing (other than the above) that I would try would be to go the Activity Monitor, and choose View > Send Signal to Process and choose Abort (SIGABRT). That will force InDesign to crash. The crash report may be a bit more insightful than the call graph from the Sample Process. Though it'll be frozen at an instant in time, so it might not reflect what's going on during the bulk of the rainbow-wheeling. Anyhow, the relevant section is the "Thread 0 Crashed: " portion and the lines that follow until Thread 1.
I suppose it might be possible to instrument the CoreFoundation calls with dtrace. That's definitely not something I've done and it's probably easier to take out the WelcomeScreen plugin and soldier on. Hopefully something along the way will help before you get that far.
And of course, you can open an official support case with Adobe...

Why does Firefox 5 open links in a new tab or new window rather than within the same tab? Previous versions opened links in the same tab allowing use of the "back" button on the mouse. Having to close so many tabs and windows is really irritating.

Vista Ultimate SP2

The problem is just with the name of the tab, not with the contents of the page -- the page looks normal??
I ask about the page because Firefox 23 seems to have introduced a problem with Firefox's "fast back-forward cache" on the Google search results page. It is related to the "instant prediction results" feature interacting with Firefox is some different way. (More in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863?page=2#answer-485663])
Might be related. Not sure.

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

How do I save an image after I have zoomed in on it? I can't work out why I can't save a zoom-in the same way
I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily

CS5.1 Missing fonts - converted to outline

Hello, I have PC with Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 installed.
Problem:
I had to open eps file, where is font Obelix Far East, which I don't have and needs to be replaced to Myriard.
When I open this eps, all Obelix's words are automaticaly converted to outlines.
original:
CS5.5 - immedatelly after opening:
Is any way to prevent convert words? I can see it first time, because before CS5.5 I used only CS4 and there was no problem with this. I simply replaced missing font for the known one and that's it...
Thank you very much for any idea.
Regards...Ilja

like maybe I hit some odd key command that made it all go away but I've been unable to get anywhere.
Yes that is the case, you accidentally must have hit the cmd + T key and now you have set Bridge to show only thumbnails.
Under the menu view you will see a checkmark in front of the option: "show thumbnail only" . Click on it again to deselect or hit again cmd + T (on a Mac) and you get back to the normal situation

Export command do not show missing font error

Our plug-in is using the SDK's PDFExportCmd to export InDesign file to PDF.
Every thing works fine, except we got into a serious issue when one of the Font is missing in the Indesign file.
When an InDesign file having missing font is exported it successfully converted to PDF without reporting any error, by replacing the missing font with default font!
The PDF preset used has following properties but looks like InDesign completely ignore these property.
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Warning
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Error
or
/CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Ignore
Please note that when same InDesign file is exported using InDesign's Export... it reports the error message saying Font is missing!
Are we missing something?
Is there some properties that need to be set while exporting to PDF?
Or is it a serious bug in PDFExportCmd?
Alternatively is there a way to validate the InDesign file before exporting?
(I saw the api IExportValidationCmdData, but there is no documentation on it usage.)

There is no difference in the contents of the trial of iWork you get with a new Mac or with iLife '06 & the retail box.
I've learned not to delete any of the fonts that come with Apple apps any more because of things like the error you got. It's odd that a Pages document is using that particular font. I have two copies of that font on my G5, one in the main fonts folder & another in a folder of fonts that came with AppleWorks. The one in the AppleWorks folder has an Apple version 3.3 © & a date of 2000. Both have an Esselte Letraset © with a date of 1990.

Does Indesign CS4 recognize missing fonts in links?

Could anyone tell me if Indesign CS4 (or any version of Indesign) will recognize missing fonts used in a linked image? We have a customer that is using Indesign CS4 they have linked images from photoshop (no fonts in the photoshop images) and .eps files that were created using Easy Barcode Creator. Indesign is not seeing that the font is missing from the eps file (easy barcode reader), nor is there an error when exporting a PDF or print a PS. Preflight in Indesign doesn't detect this either. If I open the eps in Illustrator then I get a font missing error. I don't want to open all the files (supporting links) to find out if I have missing fonts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I've been playing with this a little, and I get what you see, too with .eps files. Find font will list the fonts used in the links, but for the most part woen't tell you if they are missing (seems to know they're missing in placed .indd files, though). Not a whole lot of help, but at least it puts the list out front where you can see the fonts, and check to see what doesn't look familiar.
Maybe the scripting guys have some clever ideas.

Why doesnt indesign remember my last font??

Hi all,
Im currently testing Indesign and one thing which is really bugging me is the fact when your typing say a headline in Gill Sans and you then create another text box for your sub headline, the text snaps back to its default typeface. I know i can duplicate my original text box to maintain that typeface but why does it snap back to the default typeface??
Illustrator remembers the last font used and it saves time knowing your going to get the same typeface used previously.
I hope you can help
Thanks everyone
Andy

Bob, Peter thanks for taking the time to reply.
Bob I’m going to invest that book you mentioned. If it gives me what I’m after its money well worth spending and then I will claim it back off the business, lol.
Peter, I’m a shortcut monster, I create my own shortcuts. I have been using Illustrator for nearly 10 years now so going up in the menus is a no no. The problem I have is when someone asks me a question on how to do a particular thing, I forget how to find stuff via the drop down menus because I’m so reliant on my shortcuts.
Indesign and Illustrator are very very similar so its just a case of creating my illustrator shortcuts within indesign, dead easy as you know.
The font issue I have is just a time saving thing that’s all, or lazy you could say!!
Thanks again guys
Andy

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw, Lucinda and papyrus. How can I access these.

I miss not having the same fonts as cs3 ie Bradshaw Handwriting, Lucinda and Papyrus. How can I access these on cs5? I have not found the fonts for this program to my liking.

I can't find any reference to a handwriting font named Bradshaw anywhere. Are you sure you have the name right? ITC Bradley Hand Regular, along with Papyrus and the Lucida (no "n") family are all included with recent versions of Windows, though, and should be in your font list in CS5 if you are, in fact, running Windows.
Is this the same machine that has CS3 installed? Did you remove CS3? Do the fonts show up in any other programs? Indesign can see fonts that are installed in the system fonts, the Common Files > Adobe > Fonts folder, and the private fonts folder for InDesign in the application folder. If the fonts show in CS3, but not elsewhere, they are probably in the CS3 InDesign Fonts folder.

Fonts different between CS3 and CS5 on Win7 system using the same fonts directory

I have several files created in Fireworks CS3 that work fine. Fonts are all installed in the system directory on my Win7 box. This used to be a WinXP Pro box.
I can load a file into Fireworks CS3 without a single issue and the text all looks perfect. The way it should. Close CS3, open CS5 and load the same file and CS5 tells me I have to update my fonts. Why? Same system, same fonts in the same fonts directory. Only thing that's changed is that I'm opening the file(s) in CS5.
The fonts do not look the same in CS5. Am I going to have to redo every Fireworks CS3 file so that it looks correct in CS5? If so, why?
-- Bob
Here's a sample image the way it's supposed to look. The Swift gets hosed. PlazaDUtil is the font. I'd hate to have to redo all my logo files.

Prior to CS4 Fireworks used the Macromedia type engine. From CS4 forward, adobe introduced the adobe type engine to improve text handling/integration between FW AI and PS. As a result moving CS3 files over to cs4 forces FW to update the fonts.

You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.
