Problems with fonts

My fonts, such as displayed on my screen, have suddenly become thin and spider.  This affects all my windows applications, including the body of the messages to and Works word processor. I assume it is the result of an automatic update of Windows. Any ideas or similar experiences out there?  This does not affect the result, it come out as usual on the printer

You could try to change the resolution of your screen and see if that makes a difference (right-click on the desktop and choose personalize).  It could be dies however, that your video card or monitor.

Thanks Steve.  Yes, I restart frequently. The problem has been with me for a week or two

    I have a new machine, just a day old, and I'm having a problem with fonts.  The file Explorer, Edge and other similar programs seem to go from a very readable font that lights up in half a second or less whenever I move down on the page in these applications.  Police that results is much more difficult for me to read because of the lightness that results.

  • Big problems with fonts after upgrade to Yosemite

    Hello

    I upgraded my macbook pro to Yosemite for more than six months and since then, I have serious problems with application of fonts in browsers and many software I use. I googled the problem over and over again and nothing seems to help.

    In general, these are the main symptoms of the problem with screenshots:

    1 system ads are gibberished, or better yet, appearing with something like that, instead of letters:

    2. bold letters does not at all (when I use gmail, for example) or leads to an illegible font change:

    3. hyperlinks symbols on Web sites or webmail applications simply appear as empty squares and there is no way of knowing what you click on.

    Bottom line: before turning to the last option and the resettlement of Yosemite, if someone could help, I'd be more than grateful.

    You probably have a lot of fonts installed garbage. Follow these steps to recover your Mac for only the fonts installed in OS X.

    (1) open the book fonts and choose restore fonts Standard menu. All third-party fonts will be moved out of the system and root of the fonts in the library files in a new folder next to each named (deleted) Fonts.

    2) click on the desktop so Finder is the name of the app next to the Apple logo in the upper left corner. Hold down the Option key and choose go > library. This will open your user account's library folder. Create a new empty folder on the desktop. Open the folder fonts in your user account. If there is something in it, move them to the new folder on the desktop.

    3) restart in Mode safe mode by rebooting and hold down the SHIFT key. When you reach the office (you need to log in Mode without failure), restart normally. Among other things, this erases all the cache files on the account of the user logged in Mode safe mode and resets the database of book of fonts for this account.

    (4) clear all remaining the system font cache files. Close all the running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal application and enter the following command. You can also copy and paste from here in the Terminal window:

    sudo atsutil databases - remove

    Terminal will then ask your admin password. When you type, it will not show anything, so make sure you enter it correctly.

    This command removes all the font cache files. To the system and the current connected to the user account. After you run the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    Now test. With only fonts available provided OS and all data policies implemented cache and other such parameters cleared and reset, fonts should appear correctly in the system.

  • Problem with fonts

    This isn't really a problem with Illustrator, but any help would be appreciated.

    Suddenly and for no apparent reason a bunch of fonts disappeared from my menu fonts.

    I use Linotype FontExplorer X to organize my fonts. I see here and many of them are enabled, but for some reason, "not available".

    I tried but in vain even re-import them.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Steve,

    Had you been with CC (2014), I should have suggested 4) or 6) on the list immediately. but now, I hesitated.

    If illy is the only one unable to use these, I'm afraid it's his problem. Then maybe the list is justified after all (point 11) 5) is questionable, but (also) might be relevant).

    You've seen before (too often), but it's here. If you have been careless enough to go with Yosemite, 6) is almost inevitable, of course.

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • Problem with fonts AXT (Arabic)

    Hello

    Strange problem is when I open the Indesign file with fonts AXE. Its similar fonts missing but in fact there is no font is missing. I have to go to each text box and chenge the manuly to the police to solve the problem. I don't know why this is happening.

    Please check the screenshot.

    his case even not but I get some answers for my case

    After receiving several complaints from users Adobe ME about AXT fonts, I received an official response from the concerned team that products Adobe CS6 does not support the AXT fonts. That said, you can find some of these fonts will run well, some will have small problems, and some will be displayed at all (as in your case). Best option is to convert the AXE OpenType fonts, or buy the first hand OpenType fonts.

  • Problem with fonts for language thai

    I use Indesign CS5 server and my programming language is VB.NET.

    I tried with the Tahoma font for the THAI language and he had problems with the text even after assignment of metric kerning value.

    Please see my requirement in the image below. I need something like the one given in the second part of the image. I had used Courier Thai in this case.

    Thai_Issue.JPG

    Does anyone have an idea of what font is suitable for the thai language.

    Please suggest if there is no font Verdana of size for the thai language.

    Thanks in advance... !!

    I'm pretty much the same boat - I know a lot more Lao I'm doing on the thai. However, I can tell you that:

    (1) turning on the world-ready composer should solve your problems of tone-brand-placement, according to the quality of the police.

    (2) Verdana has no Thai glyphs

    3) Verdana is optimized for screen use, not for printing.

    4) given that you use vb.NET we know you are a Windows user. Microsoft just witih a bunch of fonts with Thai support, surely one of them is a good screen.

    (5) wait! Tahoma has Thai support and is a halfway decent screen.

    (6) but he is not dealing correctly because you do not have the lit world-ready composer.

    (7) I must admit that I don't know why "Courier Thai" composed properly; I suspect that it's full of hacky little tricks to make your marks properly compose on operating systems with the help of incomplete complex script.

  • Problems with fonts in InDesign CS3 in Snow Leopard

    Has anyone else had problems with the font book and InDesign CS3?

    Just had some new Mac Mini running Snow Leopard against Migration Assistant an old Mini. Initially, every thing seems to be great. But on the opening of the ads in Indd CS3 I noticed that fonts disappeared, even if they have been enabled in the font book.

    Then I reinstalled the necessary fonts and we don't use iLife and iTools products, I traded the Helvetica TrueType for the version of Adobe.

    It does not work...

    So, I have rebuilt the Mac fonts installed, once again, a CD original and installed InDesign CS3 clean (orig DVD)...

    Yet once again, did not work.

    Now, I know I can put fonts required in the folder Fonts in InDesign, or store them in ~/Library/Fonts, but since we have a library of 3000 + policies that manage our users with the font book, it will become unworkable.

    Anyone could launch a patch or fix this, another way...?

    There is a Snow Leopard update, you will need to search in preferences/software update system after the upgrade. After the reboot, this problem has been elminated for me, fortunately!

  • Problems with fonts in outline or draft publication (Captivate 4)

    I still have problems with the fonts in my projects.

    Standard, I use only Verdana 11 pt and pt 10 in my slides. This standard/consistency is quite obvious, when I'm viewing the slides in edit mode. However, when I preview or publish the project, the text of the slide in the slide is not consistent.

    It seems that through some slides display slightly crushed Vendana... it is clearly Vendana just reduced in height. I tried various options, such as the definition of the quality mode, and so far, nothing has helped.

    Please see the attachment, which should better illustrate what I describe. Each of five 100% cropped screenshots come from separate slides and I have grouped into a jpg.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Shawn

    It's strange. I say this because to my knowledge, the smoothing applies ONLY to transparent captions. All other legends are not smoothed.

    Out of curiosity, when you tested, have you tried each way? The setting is enabled as well as people with reduced mobility? I do suppose that it is possible that a bug exists whereby the global setting could be ignored. If so, it would be the first I've heard of him. (not that I come remotely close to being Omniscient 'end all' of Captivate trivia - LOL)

    See you soon... Rick

  • Problems with fonts in Indesign

    I did a new install of 10.5 currently, as well as standard CS4.

    I now have problems with police in my Indesign templates. I am sure that I installed all the fonts I have before but I always get errors of police.

    I have problems with the fonts have a (TT) behind their names such as Helvetica (TT).

    I'm guessing that the fonts are True Type?

    Any ideas of what I could do wrong?

    Since I'm quite a few models I would rather not repair by yourself.

    Thanks in advance!

    There are 3 types of fonts, Adobe Type I (at least 2 files for each policy with extensions *.pfb and *.pfm), (with extension *.ttf) TrueType and open Type.

    And behold, I'm quite sure your problem. Open Type fonts can be found with the extension *.otf AND the spirit of expansion *.ttf. And InDesign makes the difference between OTF and TTF.

    When you made the models, you have used TrueType. Somewhere between yesterday and today, you have reinstalled the police. But not the TrueType version. I guess that the version of OTF (with extension *.ttf).

    3 solutions:

    1. Reinstall the police TrueType version (and don't forget it's TrueType and non OpenType with extension *.ttf)
    2. in InDesign (in each file, sorry), replace the font (say) [TT] ARIAL ARIAL with what ever you have installed
    3. If you have (for example new Arial) installed, ignore the warning, InDesign uses the version of the font you have installed (it will look the same), but it will continue to warn you

    However, I recommend the first or the second solution, they are the safest.

  • Problem with fonts. If enable hardware acceleration "BOLD" fonts look weird, but if I turn it off, "BOLD" fonts seem good, but normal fonts look weird

    Title.

    With hardware acceleration: http://imgur.com/jHRk6Yl words 'empty' look and really weird air instead of being "BOLD". But if I disable it, normal fonts look "weird" in some Web sites (not all) and are difficult to read.
    Any solution?

    Thank you!

    Hmm, another user Windows 10 reported this after installing some Helvetica fonts.

    In your screenshot, the text 'blue indicated' is the following style rule:

    font-family: "helvetica neue",arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
    

    So I guess you have Helvetica Neue installed locally, which seems to have strange problems in Firefox.

    If you don't want to remove this font on your system, you can use custom style rules for Firefox overrides Arial, which is what I see on Windows 7 on this page. I saw the first time that documented in this article (from 2010!):

  • Problems with fonts and the Fontcache.

    Recently, I noticed that a Svchost was running constantly at high CPU usage, as well as a few programs had stopped working on my PC. After doing some poking around, I believe the problem to be with Fontcache and my fonts. It turns out that my partner has installed a large number of fonts, which I suspect to be corrupted. Unfortunately, I can't open the fonts folder, or the section fonts in Control Panel.

    In an attempt to put an end to the use of the processor (which I think is of Fontcache constantly trying to start upward - and otherwise), I have disabled loading in services, however it still loads up when I try to start a program like InDesign. InDesign will also not load, I suspect that for the same reason.
    I could not remove all the fonts, or find no way to remove them, without access to the section fonts in Control Panel. I tried to access via a command prompt and just can't take the ownershop/control of them to remove them. All of the guides I found on the internet forced me to open the folder of fonts/Control Panel and manually change the permissions using the Windows user interface, but obviously I can't do that.
    Does anyone have a solution to remove fonts or an another workaround for the problem?
    Thank you

    Hey shady,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, it seems that you are unable to remove the control panel fonts.

    1. what happens when you try to access the control panel?

    2. do you get any error code or error message?

    I will certainly help you with this issue.   Here are some methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run the troubleshooter of performance on the system and verify.

  • Problem with fonts unavailable haunt me

    With the help of Frame 11, I can't create a PDF file because of unavailable fonts. I dutifully change to what the console says using the Character Designer. This works. But when I open the files back up later, the message of unavailable fonts return.

    I need help with that. Thank you.

    The pod of fonts shows missing fonts and gives you the opportunity to replace fonts. When you replace a font, it replaces all the tags/communities that use it. So even if it is hidden somewhere out of sight and mind, you will replace.

  • Problem with font size, is change suddenly wrong with resolution

    Hello!

    It has been two weeks since my Photoshop CS5 has begun to abnormal behavior. Could I humbly ask for your help, please?

    A picture is worth a thousand words, I did a Visual description:

    photoshop-resolution-problem.jpg
    (not sure how to work the forums here, I also uploaded it here)

    In the past, I could open a picture I wanted to, and type in this image, the text would be always the same. The size of the police, in particular, would remain the same. For example, the Segoe Print 18 points would always look the same on an open image.

    And then, about two weeks ago I noticed sometimes problems, policies, at the same size usually, were suddenly huge. I finally got to where he comes from, the resolution of the image.

    If the image resolution is 72, then the fonts are similar to the usual. If the image resolution is higher, the fonts look more great.

    To make the fonts look the same as usual, I have to manually change the resolution, with an Image > Image size, change the resolution to 72 and then, because the dimensions of the pixels fell after changing resolution, write once again the size of initial image pixel.

    For the life of me, I don't understand what I did wrong. I'm not accusing the program, I have checked something without noticing it, somewhere.


    A friend did the test on his machine, and he didn't have this issue.

    Here are my program settings, if they are relevant (mirrored here):

    photoshop-resolution-problem-my-settings.jpg

    If you can help, will have saved a poor Editor, and you'll have my eternal gratitude!

    Stop it! Not resetting preferences. station_two is clueless.

    Your image with pt Verdana 15 to 600 dpi and 72 dpi shows that you get the correct result when you specify the size in points, which is a physical measure (1 pt = 1/72 inch). At 600 dpi to 72 dpi, a given policy will cover 600/72 = 8.33 times more pixels in width and height.

    If you already receive the same coverage of pixel with different resolutions, you were probably specifying the size in pixels instead of points. (At 72 dpi, 1 point is equivalent to 1 pixel, so you do not notice any difference between points and pixels at 72 dpi.)

  • Problem with fonts in InDesign - same font of the same document, different thicknesses

    Will there be transparency on the page?

    It looks like the effect 'breach' common when there is transparency on a page. It shows on the screen and in preints of low resolution, but not, in my opinion, out of press.
