Why won't InDesign recognize fonts all of a sudden?

We've been using InDesign (CS6) to design our company business cards (designing and uploading them ourselves allows us to get a great deal), and up until now it's been fine. Today, however, I opened up one of the business card files to change something only to find that the font used in our logo is now unrecognizable to InDesign, and is being replaced with Myriad Pro. I've tried restarting my laptop and moving the font to InDesign's font folder, but with no luck. It's a font that I downloaded some time ago, but which is working on all of Microsoft office and the other Adobe programs in CS6. Has anyone ever had this happen before? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

You have a "bad" font on your system and it whacks out things. Remove the offending font.

  • Why won't Indesign recognize my printer under Windows 7?

    I have reinstalled InDesign on my new computer under Windows 7 and it won't recognize my HP printer.  On selecting the Print option, it lists the printer, but won't print It previously worked fine under XP.  Can anybody advise me?  Is it a compatibility issue or do I need any special drivers? .
    I am using Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
    Thanks
    Karon.

    KarrieKat,
    Will another program, other than InDesign, recognize your printer? Are you able to print a Windows 7 Print Test Page? Have you installed the drivers certified for Windows 7 as specified by HP? Prior to migrating to Windows 7 from Windows XP did you run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor? 
    To determine if your current computer configuration will be compatible with Windows 7 please go to the following link: http://tinyurl.com/no4xb7
    Another resource to verify compatibility is available at the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center located at the following link: http://bit.ly/1gW6Ns
    Also, should you require additional assistance and feedback Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.

  • My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

    My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

    -You stated: " It is on, but I cannot use it "
    Does this mean that the iPod works fine but when you connect the iPod to your computer iTunes does not see - your iPod?
    - Have you tried:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - If you really have OSX 10.6.x (not 10.5.8 as stated) try:
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    - Have you tried another cable and USB port?
    - If the iPod is not working then there are other things to try.

  • Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.

    Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.  It says I don't have the neccesay permissions in ~/library/preferences.  this has just happened recently.

    Who is your email provider?
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If yes, try deleting the mail account and adding it again.

  • Why won't iTunes recognize some of my songs?

    I can't figure out why iTunes will not recognize over 100 of my songs.  I recently purchased a 7th gen iPod to replace the other one which was stolen.  Never had a problem with anything before the new iPod was installed, registered etc.  Any advice?  Thanks

    Hi dpjakob,
    My interpretation of your question is that iTunes has lost its link to 100 of your songs. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Thanks,

  • My iphone 5 won't connet to server all of a sudden

    My iphone 5 won't connect to a server all of a sudden and I've reset my settings and turned phone off  and back on and re-entered my password. What should I do now?

    If it makes a sound, that means your computer has seen it, at least, and it's able to connect.
    I'd try the following, in the following order.
    1) With the iPhone disconnected, hold the Sleep/Wake button AND the home button UNTIL the Apple logo appears. After you hold these buttons down, the slide to power off will appear, but ignore that. Then the screen will blank. When you see the Apple logo appear, let go. Once the iPhone restarts fully, plug it into the computer, and see if iTunes will see it.
    2) Repeat #1, but before you plug the phone in, restart your computer. After your computer AND iPhone have fully restarted, open iTunes, then plug your iPhone in.
    3) Download and install iTunes over your existing installation. Restart your computer, then plug your iPhone in.
    4) Uninstall iTunes fully, and ANY Apple related programs (Apple Mobile Device, etc.). Restart your computer, then install iTunes. Restart your computer again, and then open iTunes and connect your iPhone.
    If none of these work, you may have to put your iPhone into either Recovery Mode or DFU mode.

  • Quicktime Player won't play avi files all of a sudden

    All of a sudden Quicktime Player won't play my avi files. They worked previously. I could play them with Quicktime 7 with or without Perian. I'm running 10.6.4.
    They'll run fine on my MacBook and I don't have Perian installed on it.
    Any ideas?

    I just uninstalled Flip4Mac and everything is working as it's supposed to. Very strange. Perhaps a conflict with Perian? But then again, QT didn't play the avi files with Perian installed. So, I guess the conflict is with Flip4Mac and something else.
    Thanks anyway

  • Why is my Macbook Pro slow all of a sudden?

    Question repost as the first question posted, only received one answer that did not assist at all, unfortunately.
    I have a 2013 Macbook Pro that i purchased earlier this year.  My second.  First one had 0 problems, ever.  I upgraded from 8 to 16gb of RAM, and it was running just as it should.  All of a sudden, and without any warning, it has slowed to a snails pace on just about everything.  I get the pinwheel of death constantly, it's taking 20-30 minutes to move 1.77GB of data, which used to take under 1 minute.  Programs are slow to open, and the stalling is constant.  I've read a few forums, and all signs seem to point to the beginning of a HD failure?  Can someone please assist?
    Sidenote:  i went and checked the disc permissions, which did show many errors, all of which, however, i repaired.  It started working again fairly well for a day, and is now back to the same level of slow.  What could this be?  Please help.

  • Why is my Firefox browser slow all of a sudden?

    All of a sudden, my Firefox browser is extremely slow. I did not change anything nor did I download any software.
    It takes me some time to go to web pages and such. What can i do?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Why is Amazon my default search all of a sudden?

    I have only updated Aurora, that is the only change I have recently made and all of a sudden when searching in the URL bar, which usually searches using Google, it searches Amazon for anything I enter. How has this happened and how do I get rid of it?!

    You can check if you still have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the searchplugins folder in Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
    *browser.search.defaultenginename
    Currently selected search engine (that you may want to reset):
    *browser.search.selectedEngine
    You can try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Why won't iTunes recognize all the pictures in a folder I am trying to sync

    I am trying to add a separate folder  with 160 pictures in it to my iphone 4 but iTunes is only recognizing 83 of them the are all jpeg and roughly the same size they are not read only.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Why won't InDesign open its own .indd file on iMac?

    I have InDesign CS5.5 on an iMac OS 10.7.5 - I created an .indd file about a month ago on this machine, using this version of InDesign.  This machine is not networked, the file has no links in it, no images and is only 1.3MB in size. 
    InDesign won't open the file and this is the message I get when I try to open it:
    "Cannot open the file "odes_PRINT.indd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, o the file may be open in another application."
    No other programs were open,the file was not open in another application and presumably, InDesign ought to support its own file format and not require special plugins to do so. No one but me has been in that file.
    I've tried restarting the program and the machine, deleting and replacing preferences and renaming the file.  It seems like this happened to me once before a few years ago with an earlier version and I believe I had to scrap that indd file.  I could rebuild this file as it's just all text, not that big and I have the text in a plain text file BUT I want to know why this happens and what to do about it. I make large files for clients, this is a small client file that I can easily rebuild but some I can't and can't afford to have this happen again.
    I've been googling this problem all evening and I'm out of ideas - anyone else got any?

    Try my script in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429 -- it will tell you if it's an InDesign file or not.
    If it tells you it is, the file must be internally damaged beyond repair. (And then you've lost it. Yes, it happens.)
    If it tells you it is not, then ... well, then it is not a native InDesign file. At that point you need to retrace your steps: what did you do when you thought you were "saving" it? (As it is, in fact, impossible to use "save" in InDesign and not save 'as' an InDesign file.) What other file type could you have used? Do you ever manually or automatically rename files?
    Needless to say, if it is no longer an InDesign file (never mind what the file extension says), then you cannot open it in InDesign anyway. But if you know what type of file it is, you can open it with the appropriate software (e.g. a JPEG viewer or an RTF reader) and see what's in it.

  • Why won't InDesign break hyphenated words at the hyphen?

    Why does InDesign not break hyphenated words at the hyphen?
    For example: "empty-handed".
    InDesign will break either "empty" or "handed" on either side of the hyphen. But not right at the hyphen, even if "empty" and "handed" are each set to No Break.
    Anyone know why?
    The hypen is typed in normally using the hyphen key on the keyboard.
    If I type a space after the hyphen, InDesign will break there, of course: "empty- handed"
    InDesign will break at an en-space: "empty–handed".
    But I prefer not to have to type a space or insert an en-space or other characters because I also need to export text to ePUB and want only the actual text.
    Correct break (if needed) at end of a line should be:
    . . . empty-
    handed . . .

    There is no reason why InDesign should avoid breaking hyphenated words at the hyphen. That's the preferred break location.
    This must be a bug.
    Evidence:
    When I turn Hyphenation OFF for a paragraph that contains a hyphenated word (such as my example, "empty-handed"), the hyphenated word is correctly broken at the hyphen (if needed at the end of a line). But when I turn hyphenation back ON, the word will not break at the hyphen.
    See the two screenshots below.
    1) Hyphenation is ON. "Empty-handed" is unbrokenat start of Line 3, yet line 2 is very loose, with room to fit "Empty-":
    2) Hyphenation is OFF. "Empty-handed" is broken at the end of line two, at the hyphen (resulting in better word spacing).
    By the way, the other settings in this Hyphenation dialog don't affect this issue. I tried changing them all, with no different result relating to the break at the hyphen.

  • Why won't itunes recognize my iphone 3 on my new mac book air?

    I just got a brand new mac book air for the holiday and I migrated all my files over from my old computer, but when I connect my iphone 3 to the new computer, itunes did not recognize it in the finder.  I was able to sync and back up some files. And the computer knows that the device is connected (I checked in the System information file and it is listed as being connected. The phone also charges when it is connected, and I can sync my files). I have gone through many of the already relevant suggested fixes (used different USB port, changed cable, restarted computer, restarted phone) and still nothing has changed.  I am running mac OS X 10.8.2 on my laptop and I have version 6.0.1 on my iphone.
    I haven't re-installed itunes yet, as some have suggested as the laptop is brand new. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
