• missing fonts in Indesign CS3

  I have a weird problem with missing fonts in InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS3 under Windows 7 64-bit. PostScript fonts are not on their menu, but are listed as being installed in the menu \windows\fonts. Fonts are also available in Microsoft products and in Framemaker. The strange thing is that the old saved files that use PS fonts have always listed fonts (but not other fonts PS). If I open a file inherited with the particular font to PS, I can create a new InDesign file that will have this font available. If the legacy file is not open, the new file will not police as an option. I know that the CS3 products are pre-Win 7 64 bit, but Framemaker, for all its ancient code, works like a charm.

  By fonts PostScript , we assume you mean fonts Type 1.

  There was a problem in CS3 as you describe. The problem is solved with the CS4.

  The solution is to copy the Type 1 fonts (both the.) PFB and. PFM for each font file) in the InDesign and Creative Suite-specific fonts directory. They will be seen by the CS3 applications.

• Missing fonts in Indesign

  Hello, I have problems, find missing fonts in my Indesign CC program. At work, they use an earlier version of Indesign CS5 and of course the fonts are there, but when I work at home, I can't find the fonts anywhere in my CC version. I need this problem as I work from home due to problems of connectivity to work. I read in some forums of old, and I'm sorry, I guess I'm a noob here, but there was so much confusion open type, Extensis Suitcase... and so on.

  I need a very clear answer how get these fonts on my computer. I don't know why Adobe have brought to this program. Also, I looked through fonts Type Adobes kit nothing helps. So, it's really confusing. Please help me because I need this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE!

  At work, use file > package... and include the fonts. Take the case of the House package and the fonts should be available in the file without having to install.

• Missing fonts in InDesign packed file

  Hi, I am looking to get an indesign file off the coast of a trainee Designer in another office. He conditioned, but there are still mssing fonts, and most of the text is highlighted in pink. I will paste the following text file, so you can see that some fonts are missing. I activated all the files in the fonts folder, but it is looking for Helvetica Neue T1 in 4 different weights (slim 35, 45 Light, Roman 55, 75 "BOLD"), none of them are in the folder fonts. My apologies if I'm being dumb and missed something obvious.

  I'm on a mac using CS5 on a single computer and CS6 on another, he works with or. I think they are on a mac, as far as I know.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help or give advice, don't want to replace all of the fonts on this huge file, much appreicated, Dara

• What can I do to recover the missing fonts in InDesign?

  Since a few years I'm working on my Mac OS 10.5.8 on a photo album in InDesign CC3.

  The text includes policies issued in 2012 including Arial, book Antigua, Lucida calligraphy, Times New Roman, and time, policies that have recently disappeared when opening InDesign with the news that they are not part of the system. Why do existing, policies issued suddenly disappear and what can I do to get back them?

  As a newcomer to this forum, I hope that someone will be useful and enjoy every given indication.

• Missing fonts InDesign CC

  I have a laptop that I use when I work away from home.  My laptop is a macbook pro that I bought recently (early October 2013).  Both my iMac and macbook are passed by the recent updates to the Mavericks and my iMac works fine with creative cloud.  However, when I was trying to open documents I share via the drop box on my laptop, using InDesign CC who was just upgraded a few days ago, I was told I was missing 3 fonts, all fonts that are always in InDesign.  So I turned off my computer and restarted it, and now it tells me I'm missing 9 fonts!  I have to go out of town for a family emergency tomorrow and I need my laptop.  I searched and have no idea how to fix this.  It is a headache I really don't need right now, so any help is very appreciated.

  These are the missing fonts:

  Bell MT "BOLD"

  Average BlairMdlTCTT

  Book Antiqua Bold

  Bookman Old Style

  Bookman Old Style bold

  Cambria

  Cooper Black

  Mona Lisa solid ITCTT

  Caslon great Medium

  And honestly, I have not tried uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign CC - is it possible?

  Most of your missing fonts appears to be fonts that are installed with Microsoft Office, with the exception of Blair, Mona Lisa and Big Caslon. These fonts appear in your FontBook app?

• Delete the "Missing fonts" dialog box during the execution of JavaScript

  Hello

  I develop a script (in JavaScript) which allows to convert all the InDesign files in a directory specified for PDF files. I'm running into a problem when I run the script because all InDesign files have missing links / fonts.  Therefore, a "Missing fonts" dialog box opens after each InDesign file opens.  I believe that because this dialog box is open, I get the error:

  "cannot process the request because a modal dialog box or the alert is active.

  Again, I'm assuming that my script does not work because the dialog box open "missing fonts.

  Is it possible to remove all the instructions of the user?  I've read some things about the levels of user interaction, however I have not found a way to settle this with JavaScript.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thank you!

  Hey!

  Try this:

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
  

  and on the finish to put this:

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

• Illustrator, says 'Missing Police' while InDesign detects and uses the same fonts OK

  Looks like I'm having some problems with fonts for CC Illustrator on Mac OSX (Mavericks), both new installs.  Specifically, I'm trying to open a .ai file that uses the font "Coolvetica.  Then, I get the error "Missing Fonts" here:

  

  I installed the police and restarted Illustrator:

  

  

  I opened the dialog box "Find fonts" to see that is still missing:

  

  I wanted to check that it was, in fact, installed, then I open OpenOffice and tried it with success.  Also, I opened InDesign and tried it with success.

  I searched the forums for clues.  I found there a CC cleaning tool, if I followed the instructions, making sure to restart my computer and reinstall Illustrator.  Unfortunately, I was met the same problem after reinstalling.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  To recap:

  Steps to reproduce:

  1.) to open a .ai file that already contains fonts "coolvetica.  In my case, it's a file that has been generated on another Windows computer running an earlier version of Adobe CS.

  2.) get the error message about missing fonts

  3.) install the fonts using the font book

  4.) restart Illustrator and re - open the file

  Expected results:

  Police is correctly

  Actual results:

  Still missing a font

  Thanks for the persistence, Jacob.

  I tried to clear the cache of fonts using 'sudo atsutil databases - remove' and restart immediately with no will.  I also gave the thing 'Place' a trial with no will.  However, I did find a resolution!

  In this case, for some reason, I have two different .ttf files "Coolvetica" I installed, both are the value of type 'Ordinary' (see screenshot in my first post).  Even if they are all two "regular", they have a different appearance for them (once again see screenshot above).  I was beginning to think that this double name is confusing Illustrator, so I dug deep enough into it and found that I could change 'Ordinary' to something else so that the name is not in conflict.  "This necessary by using the guide here: FontGeek" TTX helps to rename fonts.  After you run the police through program "ttx", I replace all occurrences of 'Ordinary' with the 'descent' (in reference to the stung 'G') within the generated file .ttx.  I then re - crossing "ttx" program and installed the newly created fonts.  I opened Illustrator and tada!  It worked.

  Ultimately, it seems that the name of type of duplicate fonts was which was missing his shot upward.   I was able to replace the fonts correctly after that.  This could cause headaches for other members in my group because they their policies will have a different name than mine and now they're going will be requested to "Seek a police", but I think that it is a step in the right direction and I can figure the rest out later.

  Thank you!

• InDesign CS4 missing fonts

  I'll try that again.  After the upgrade from CS2 to CS4, there are many missing fonts from my system, in particular the Warnock Pro family.  How can I get that back?

  My CS2 Premium came with a disk called Resources and Extras, and in this drive is a folder called Goodies. In the subfolder of InDesign, you will find some fonts. There is also a folder called documentation, and in this folder, you will find that another called fonts which is where Bickham Script Pro and Warnock Pro are hidden.

  Similarly, CS4 came with a labeled disc content, with a Goodies folder contains a subfolder fonts. I'm not sure wheter you woould get images with a download to disk, but I think so.

  You can install these fonts normally as with any font - you wouldn't need to run CS2 or CS4 Setup to access.

• Missing fonts - InDesign CS3

  I read everything I could find on the mssing fonts, but continue to have problems with opening the InDesign files and receive a message on a police missing (Arial Narrow).

  InDesign CS3 v5.04

  Two users (Administrator and user (with the Local administrator rights) have no problem with missing fonts when you open the same file.

  Two different users (who both have Local administrator rights) receive the message about missing fonts when you open the same file.

  The PC has the police loaded in Windows,

  I copied Arial Narrow in the Adobe\Indesign\Fonts directory

  I deleted all the files from Adobe*.lst

  After the Adobe*.lst file is recreated the lst file has the specificity of Arial Narrow in the lst file.

  Don't know what to try next

  I did not understand the original message that users working on the same PC. Who would like to do away from the problem of the police, I think, and perhaps to a corruption of preferences, although I couldn't say for sure.

  I think trying the patch would be a good thing, and Yes, there are perhaps Adobefnt*.lst files in each user profile that should be deleted (maybe it's all that is false). Otherwise, replace preferences for the users concerned may be in order.

  On the same machine, assuming there is no problem on customizations user of everyone that you don't want to share, you can copy the profile data of one user to another without problem, or you can rebuild each bad set from scratch. See this page for instructions (in English) and don't forget to read the comments. Adobe InDesign CS4 * setting preferences

• Auto replace missing fonts during script place

  I have a script that runs at startup that puts a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in a word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of errors javascript because there is an open dialogue.

  Y at - it an option to automatically replace the missing fonts in a specified font?

  InDesign CS5

  Windows

  Form I understand that you can't replace missing fonts until the document is opened. To avoid the modal dialog box missing fonts, you can set

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
  

  before the opening of the document and then make your substitutions of fonts. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

• How to get rid of pink highlights on missing fonts?

  Hi, take a look at this screenshot.  See how the text is highlighted in pink?

  http://imgur.com/9Udspvl

  I worked on this document, which was started by another developer, and I have all the right fonts.  I know.  InDesign has replaced all the missing fonts by something similar, and it's fine for my needs.  Then, I was working on the doc for two days, with missing fonts, and everything was fine, roses only highlights.  Then somehow (I don't know what I did to trigger it) all missing fonts becomes highlighted in pink.  What I've done and how I put back it?  I don't want the missing fonts highlighted in pink.  They were not like this before, even if the fonts were still missing.

  Another thing about this document view has changed as the rose also, appear.  At first, when I got a picture or text that ran out of the page, it was not displayed.  The finished page where it ends, and the extra part of the image that would be cut has not been demonstrated.  Now it shows images that extends off the page.  You can see in the same screenshot above.  This setting affects this and how do I put back it?

  I hope this makes sense.  Thanks for any help.

• Export PDF of unique pages, spreads via Javascript

  Hello

  Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I am a beginner when it comes to scripts, so apologies if this is really simple.

  I tried the search all over the internet and even looked through the Adobe guides and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

  I have put something in place in pairs printers, facing pages etc.

  Via Javascript, I can export in spreads.

  I also want to be able to export as single pages.

  for example PDF a range of pages to: 2,3,6,7,8,5,4,1

  Do it manually, I simply change the export for the below settings:

  

  How can I do this via Javascript?

  Thanks in advance.

  I don't think you can do like this.

  you apply app.pdfExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads = false

  and after this you applying parameters of your "e-mail", who have the option to export as the pasta spread and settings if I think well last will overwrite the previous one.

  In my view, that it will be easier for you to create 2 settings in indesign, recognize cases and apply search e.g. 'email_spreads' and 'email_singles' settings and control them with the button of your radio.

  Otherwise you should not apply predefine the indesign pdf presets and write all parameters in your script - in this case, you will be able to drive pages/how to export spreads

• Modify the filter script to check missing or outdated links AND missing fonts
