Windows XP 64 and Type 1 Fonts, CS3?

We have recently upgraded to CS5 and have installed Windows XP 64 on our graphics departments computers. They had previously had the 32 bit version of Windows installed and had no problems with Type 1 fonts. We have CS3 and CS5 installed until everyone has been upgraded to CS5. They are unable to see the Type 1 fonts when using CS3 but can see them in CS5 and other programs.
Does anyone know if I there is a fix to allow the fonts to be used in CS3?
Thanks,
Eric

(1)     Adobe does not officially support Windows XP 64-bit with any of its applications. XP 64-bit was more of an experiment for Microsoft than a real operating environment. Vista 64-bit was the first reliable 64-bit desktop version of Windows supported by Adobe. At this point, we most strongly recommend that you immediately move to Windows 7 64-bit which is fully supported by Adobe.
(2)     There is no fix for the problem you encountered. The workaround is to put the Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite's private font directory.

Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 - move and type tool bugs

My company recently had me upgrade my Dell Lattitude E6400 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was a reimage, so I had to reinstall all my software. Previously, I never encountered any bugs with Photoshop (barring the one that doesn't allow you to exit layer options, e.g., opacity, without physically changing layers)... anyway, now I've got two rather - extremely - irritating issues that resolve only when I restart Photoshop.
1. Move tool (I use CTRL + Click and hold most often): when I place my cursor on the screen, on the object I wish to move (with the correct layer selected), then I try to move this object, suddenly the object JUMPS to some far away corner of the screen. All I am trying to do is what I've always done, move something over a small bit; instead, I have to chase it around. It's like the center of the object/layer suddenly changes.
This issue seems to go away - at least for a while - if I restart phothoshop. But, if I leave it open for a while (as I use it 4+ hours a day) it returns, inevitably. SOOO frustrating.
2. Changing text box size: Every so often when I go to adjust the width/height of a text box - while using the text tool - something happens that causes the text box to actually skew/scale/distort/etc. the text. I've never seen this happen before - not on my personal copy/machine, nor on the Windows XP install.
I've Googled these issues, but to no avail. I'm hoping *some*one out there has some thoughts, particularly for the first issue, which is by far the more irritating of the two, as I end up chasing things around the workspace. (I often have to zoom WAY out, hit CTRL + T to get the transform box to show me where in the workspace it is, and it's generally FAR out of view.)
Thanks, in advance.

Some screen interactivity will be reduced without OpenGL, but it's livable.
OpenGL use was new for CS4, and as it was a whole new way of getting information onto the screen it did cause some problems.
If you do find the problem is gone without OpenGL (and I suspect it may be; I used CS4 for a long time without seeing what you're seeing so I'm convinced it's a problem on your specific system), check the video driver upgrades from Dell. A lot of drivers are coming out specifically to support OpenGL as Photoshop needs it - of course, nowadays, that's for CS5 mostly but it's likely helping to make OpenGL more stable for CS4 as well.

I just purchased a 28" 4K monitor to use with Premiere Pro CS6 in WIndows 8.1 and the fonts are super tiny.

No matter what settings I choose, the fonts on the display are impossibly tiny. The menu fonts at top are readable, but everything else feels like I am taking an eye exam.
Is this fixable, or do I need to return the 4K monitor and fuhgedaboutit?
Since I am doing some shooting in 4K, I thought this monitor would make sense.
If in fact it can't work with PP CS6 on WIn 8.1, what is the best recommended monitor to use with PP CS6?

I understand your issue and I don't have a solution for you. Sorry. In Premiere Pro CC 2014, you can increase the size of the fonts in the Project panel, but not in CS6.

You may want to ask this in ourHardware Forum.
Lots of gear heads that can help you there.

Type font too large on website

On one website, I somehow managed to enlarge the type font or zoom in so that the sides are cropped. In the past, I've minimized the
page images and type fonts and only resolved it by blowing out Firefox and reinstalling it. This is on my laptop (Windows 7) and I think it may have something to do with letting my finger rest on the touchpad when I hit the right/left click button.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

Illustrator CS3 - type/font and right click/font quit working??!!

All of a sudden: if I type a word out and then go to "type/font".... none of the installed font selections will show.....also will not show if the text is selected and I "right-click" my mouse.
I can change fonts if I use the interactive menu at the top of the screen.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Well, I trashed the .ai prefs...... and restarted the program.... and the same thing occurs. I swear, I've never seen such an unstable program in my life.
Would appreciate any suggestions regarding this issue.... even if it's one of Adobe's 10 key combination workarounds.
Thanks.

Windows 7 and Adobe Fonts

hi, i have windows 7 and still using CS3. type manager does not work with windows 7. i was so accustomed to using type manager but thought i figured out how to get my fonts working. They are in other software (such as microsoft/quark). However, in all my adobe products my fonts besides the fonts which were loaded on the computer are not showing up. can you help?

There is a known bug with CS3 and all 64-bit versions of Windows (not just Windows 7) in which Type 1 fonts installed in the C:\Windows\fonts directory simply do not show up in the applications. This was fixed for CS4. The workaround is to also install those Type 1 fonts in the Creative Suite private font directory. They will then show up in the CS3 applications' font lists.

Where can I download missing "Minion Pro" and "Myriad Pro" type fonts?

For some reason I have fewer Minion Pro & Myriad Pro type fonts on my Windows 7 home computer than I do on my Windows 7 work computer, and I'm trying to do the same commercial project with both of them.
I have subscribed to Creative Cloud for over a year, and am wondering, can I download them from Adobe?
There are lots of free font sites on the web, but are they Legal, Safe, and Simple?

Windows True Type font fine in Font Book but not in some apps

I got a Windows True Type font from a guy having some issues with it when printing website on Windows XP and I thought I'd try the font on Mac OS X 10.4.4.
It imports fine into Font Book and previews fine. When I opened up TextEdit the font can be seen in the list of fonts, but when one selects it changes to the Monaco font instead of the "real" font seen in Font Book.
In Word the font don't show up at all but in Photoshop it seems to work fine.
The font is validated fine according to Font Book.
How come it behaves like this?

Thanks for your reply.
"OCR-A BT" is the name of the font.
The origin I don't know about. I just got it from a guy I barely know.
I know there can be various problems with fonts. Just thought it was interesting that Font Book validated and showed it fine, but still it didn't seem to be all healthy since it doesn't work in all app.

How do I make PFM and Type 1 fonts available for my document?

I am trying to work with a document in InDesign. There are some PFM and Type 1 fonts in the document that can't be found. I have them in a folder on my computer but don't know how to make them available. I downloaded Adobe Type Manager Light, but am running Windows 7 SP1 and the exe file doesn't work. I also watched a tutorial about fonts, but can't find the folder that the person was talking about in the video. Can someone help me?

Hopefully you have not damaged Windows by trying to install ATM. Windows 7 has native T1 type support built in.
To make them available in Windows, Presuming they are actually Windows format fonts, you would right-click the font and choose Install Font, or CS6 or CC you can put them in a folder named Document Fonts in the same directory as the .indd file, and they will be availble to that file alone.
Note that Mac format fonts are completley useless on Windows. They're easy to spot, though -- they'll show a file size of 0 bytes in Explorer.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.

Hi Dale,
You can follow the article: System requirements | InDesign to check whether CS3 products can work on InDesign CS3.
Also please let me know what error message you are getting while re installing InDesign.

How to keep alignment in Windows LARGE and SMALL fonts

For years, I fought with LabVIEW, trying to keep things looking decent in both Windows LARGE and SMALL font sizes.
By this, I mean Settings - Control Panels - Display - Settings - Advanced - General - Font Size
I love to use large fonts - I run my display at 1600x1200 and it just looks better.
But if you plop an indicator on a panel in LARGE fonts, save it, then open it with SMALL fonts in effect, it looks horrible.
N.I. Doesn't care about this - just look at how ugly their own examples get when viewed in LARGE fonts.
So I developed a method to make the bottom of the label text line up with the bottom of the numerical text, whether in LARGE fonts or SMALL.
Click here for examples. Basically, I turn OFF the SIZE to TEXT attribute and right-justify the label (if on the left of the numeric).
This works OK, except I have just discovered that it depends on the text being the default size.
If I have a 17-pt numeric with a 17-point label, then they both appear as 13-pt when I switch to SMALL fonts - great -- they're still aligned.
But if I have a 17-point numeric with a 16-pt label, when I switch to SMALL, the numeric shrinks to 13, but the label stays at 16, and is thus vertically misaligned with the numeric.
So how can I have a 17-pt numeric with a 13-pt label, and have them BOTH shrink when I switch to SMALL fonts?
I suppose I could use property nodes, and detect the switch myself, but I have 50+ of these on a single VI to do - that would be ugly to watch the labels jumping around.
I suppose I could have two VIs - one for LARGE fonts and one for SMALL, but I don't want to duplicate th
e code.
Any other ideas?

It is true that we don't have a
solution. It isn't that we don't care, but the solution choices stink.
Well, I'll stand by my opinion that N.I. doesn't care - when using the default app font, there *-IS-* a solution - the link in my original post points to a page that I show my employees on how to solve the problem. It is solvable, for the case of using the default font and size. Yet N.I. uses the default font and size, but LOOK HOW THEIR EXAMPLES APPEAR (see attached files). This is how the example software looks, out of the box. These are not ancient examples, either.
It is NOT my opinion that, because there apparently is no solution for non-standard sizes, the stuff looking ugly is NI's fault.
But when a solution DOES exist for standard sizes, why they don't apply it is beyond me. Even some of the LabVIEW dialogs suffer from this.

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards
