InDesign :: Copying From Old Doc Adds Incorrect Fonts
Feb 5, 2014
I'm using InDesign CS 5. It's on a MacBook Pro runiing OS 10.9.1.
I have a document that was sent from a client. The client's doc was in ID CS 6. I have used the Find Font command to change ALL of the the fonts to one font, Alegreya Regular, an OpenType font from Google. I saved the doc and Quit ID CS 5.
When I copy and paste from the old document to the new one, the text appears as Futura. I have deleted all instances of Futura from the old file, and there are not any style sheets with Futura in the old file. Why does the supposedly-deleted formatting persist, and how can I get rid of it for real (and forever)?
I am trying to link fonts that are missing in adobe 5.5. When I go to print it says fonts font missing. I have the fonts, the designer sent me, but I am not sure where do I go to link them.
When I preflight and package my InDesign CC file for the printer the fonts are synced front CC fonts, but don't go into the Font File. Instead there is a document named AdobeFnt16.lst.
How does my printer get access to the fonts? In the preflight they show "protected" and don't collect in the font folder.
I have previously laid out a book on InDesign CS5 using an arabic AXT font and my client came back to me with a few changes in the text. I have recently downloaded CC and when i open the file the type is highlighted in pink and the error mentions it's a glyph issue. The font is installed correctly and works fine in illustrator.
When I open a file using Indesign 5.5, it is absolutely perfect. When I drag it to Indesign CC, it tells me that there are fonts missing. Then I cannot update those fonts because they dont appear. My font management software (Suitcase Fusion) is completely up to date.
In our workflow, we have a few users who are doing design work on Windows installations of IinDesign CS6 (2 in WIndows 7 and 2 in Windows 8). On all four systems, we have noticed that when we open files from packaged folders that contain the Document Fonts folder, that InDesign slows to an excrutiating crawl, which makes working on the document near impossible. We've narrowed down this behavior to the AdobeFnt14.lst file that seems to be a result of InDesign opening the file using the fonts in that folder without being told to. Deleting that file will temporarily fix the problem, but InDesign recreates it when you open the corresponding document and then you have to delete it again.
We use Universal Type Cient for our font manager, but as far as I know, we didn't install any font auto activation plugins.
Other than deleting the font folder, we've not been able to figure out how to stop ID from trying to automatically load the fonts. We'd love to just turn that "feature" off so that we don't have the hassle. I'd rather have fonts missing and turn them on using our font manager, than have ID slow to an impossible crawl whenever we open archived files. How to stop ID from automatically loading fonts from a document fonts folder?
Im working with a clients file and being told Im missing some fonts. There is text ALL OVER this thing and it will be a major headache to see where the font problems are located. When I open a file like this in InDesign where a font is mssing, its highlighted in large pink boxes that stand out real easy. Does Illustrator have a similar feature?
I am finding missing fonts when I publish a PDF document from InDesign CC file.I tried to install the custom fonts in my system, but the installation is not getting completed.
I am using the fonts like, Akzidenz-Grotesk and Helvetica family fonts.
Recently, my freehand lasso tool in CS2 has been, by default, adding to the first selection I make without me asking it to. Usually you would have to hold shift down to do this, but it is doing it automatically. How do I stop this?
Caps lock is not on.
I would prefer it to be back to normal because I often deselect using the lasso tool by clicking out of a faulty selection I have made.
way to stop Photoshop from adding the 'copy' suffix to files when you save them as additional formats? I'm working accross multiple Photoshop versions on multiple computers and would like to standardize the save functions.
why when i export artboards there are not the size i specify but 1 px more than the one i wanted.(fil>export>artboards checked).i checked if it overlapping or not it s the same result
I recently upgraded from Photoshop 7 to 11 and now I'd finding that my photos have been automatically assigned additional and incorrect keyword tags. Most prevalent seems to be place and event mistaking. I'm now going back through all my photos to verify the correct tags and remove the incorrect.
With CS6 on my Mac Pro desktop, in cloning skin color the newly cloned areas are perceptably more red. I have on occassion played with color mixes (not knowing what I was doing, just experimenting) and may have screwed something up.
I've been receiving the same basic files from a client for a few years now. The Illustrator (15.10.) file is saved as an Acrobat (10.1.3) PDF then opened in Photoshop (12.1 x64).
In the art is a 50% grey blur like shadow that's some imported raster shape. That blur is over the artboard, with no further tone, color or layers beneath it, so, theoretically, it's on white. Up until this current set of files i'd have no problems importing the pdf in Photoshop, flattening and saving, the blur would transition to white and everything was good. But now, even though when still layered it shows the white to be 0/0/0/0 in cmyk, as soon as I flatten it, that white area is now 0/0/0/3.
I've gone through the Illustrator file and cannot find an new elements, and when I take a previous PDF who's tif file is fine, and open that pdf in Photoshop, I get the same addition of tone. So this tells me something has changed in Photoshop, be it a setting or preference that's been altered.
When I command + click a layer or mask to select the contents therein I get the 'marching ants'. After flattening + copying the selection + creating a new document with preset sizes + and pasting the selection onto the new image I get a 1 pixel border around 1 edge of the image.
I can tell I have extra space because when I change the default bkg of the 'Background' layer to black I can see the black on one side...
First image shows my selection...
Second image shows a zoom of the selection... aka: it has no extra space
Third image shows the blk background behind the copy / pasted image to show the extra space that somehow got added...
Been a while since I've been here. Life interfered
I've just upgraded to Xara P&G Version 6 from Xara Xtreme 4. ( I know, I know what took me so long right? ) Well, Xtreme was doing everything that I required and as such never felt like upgrading but have finally done so. Still getting the hang of the new functions and facilities.
One thing that is bothering me is the new Layers task. In the older version, any imports or changes I made were always done on the active layer. In the new version something strange seems to be happening. Every time I import a new object, Xara automatically adds a new dedicated layer for the object. This means that I am ending up with tons of layers
Am I doing something wrong? Or can I change any setting so that Xara does not automatically add a new layer. I much prefer the facility of the old version where it was up to the user to add new layers as required.
I am trying to add the measure command which adds nodes / points to what I select to the tool bar and it wont let me do it when I select it out of the commands search box.
When I export from Illustrator CS5 with "Use Artboards" checked it adds a "-01" to the end of my file name before the extention. I'm assuming that its because its artboard #1 or something. It happens with the all or the range button checked. It doesnt show the -01 when you are saving the file name. This is pretty annoying because I have to go back and re name the files when this happens.
When drawing a path with the brush tool and then placing the brush back over an anchor point to continue the path, sometimes it continues the path and sometimes it deletes the path and just starts a new one. Why does it sometimes add to the existing path and sometimes start a new one?
Starting this week, when I print my note cards from LR, the greenish line (aproximately 1/8") is added to the top of every photo. It's not noticable if I do draft mode printing. Also, if I print to jpeg file, then print this file outside LR, it's not there. I blamed it on 3.6 upgrade first, rolled back to 3.5, but it haven't solved the problem. I'm on Windows 7 and HP Photosmart Premium C309a printer. I really need to print lots of cards and I cannot!
Addition on 12/17/11 - the line is not noticable on black or any darker color.
On import lightroom 5.3 still does not recognize previous imports of the same file name. I have the "do not import suspected" checked, but LR5 does not exclude the old files. Import has Copy, New Photos and Do not import suspected duplicates checked. No problem with LR4.4 on imports
I am using the type tool in Photoshop CS6 (windows XP pro) and I am running into this weird issue. I have never seen anything like it before. It isn't my keyboard or computer, it only happens in Photoshop. When I am typing and I mess up and use backspace to delete a character, the next character I type in gets doubled. Random letters will pop up as well - such as when I type "S", the letter "U" shows up... when I press the spacebar, it adds an extra letter instead of a space (the following letter or previous letter used). The cursor gets placed before that second character too. I can delete it using backspace or delete but then if I press spacebar to continue, it shows up again and again. I can't get rid of the extra characters!
I've tried activating and de-activating various key locks on my keyboard to no avail. Is there some button I pushed or weird formatting I somehow accidently implemented?
I have attached two jpg's so you can see what I mean.
I have been importing this text for a long time and ever since X5 it is doing odd things. When I select the text to edit it, it highlights all of the text area in a light blue color. Usually I can get one edit done, if I try and select any other part again, Corel crashes and I have to re-open my program. As you can see what I have to edit is these strange characters that show up where the apostrophe's are supposed to be.
I've been in touch with the makers of the program I am importing FROM and they have no idea why I'd be having trouble with their text. They say all they use is Aerial.
