Unstable fonts

[Vanillla]

My fonts are become unstable in Publisher. I believe manly those that I
downloaded from the internet. Sometimes I’m not able to use them at all even
though, they are still appearing installed. Or I just able to change part of
the text and if I add more to it the whole text changes back to the previous
font.
In Word I do not have any problems with my downloaded fonts.

Any idea what’s happening and what could be the solution?

I appreciate your help.

There are some fonts that you can download that do not include the whole
alphabet unless you pay for it.

 

[Jan Kucera]

Hi, I think thats exactly the same problem I have, which I discussed
9-10.4.2006 under header "Not able to use all fonts :'("

JoAnn, if you think that this is because the font does not include whole
alphabet I would then 1) this is silly, Publisher should use the font
symbols it has and if the font hasn't some chars, it should display general
character or display only these characters in default font, not deny whole
font without any reason - 2) ask, what is the minimum the font has to have
to be usable in Publisher? 3) why all other Office applications works do not
have any problems with the font?

Vanilla, my discussion unfortunately ended without solution, I promised I
would send some font example - however I didn't have and don't have much
time nowadays, so if you could send some sample it would probably help to
others see whats going go.
Yes and a tip for you, if it is not whole book but only a heading or
someting like that, you can use Insert | Symbol to write with your font
char-by-char.

This is really pain.

Hi JoAn & Jan
Thanks for responding to my thread.

Those fonts--I am talking about--are freeware, completely free. They worked
previously and they might work again next time when I want to use them. What
makes it frustrating is that one day there is no problem at all using them,
but maybe the next day none of those fonts are ‘willing to work’ for you.
You just don’t know what's going to happen expect.
Plus there are no problems at all with Word documents; which makes me think
that there is something about Publisher which makes them ‘act’ the way they
do.

Some of the fonts are came fron TypeOasis.

Hi Vanilla.
Yes I think this is Publisher-only problem, but I don't have troubles that
it works some day and some no... it just don't work me all the time. Maybe
it works when you don't use the characters which are missing/wrong mapped -
maybe.

I'm afraid I can't help you but it's quite fine finding that I'm not alone
with such problem.

[Jan Kucera]

I don't want to be annoying, but why all of you are thinking it is because
of baddish fonts? If admit and ask what the font must have - nobody answers.
If I create my own fonts professionally, what should I do to make them work
not only in Word but also in Publisher?
Don't forget we are talking about fonts like Georgia and so on as well.

If you are having problems with your fonts generally, then it is a Windows
issure, not a Publisher problem. Use the PowerToy, see if it helps. Do you have

JoAnn (or anyone else who can help)- I'm new to this group thing and cannot
figure out how to start a new question. I'm able to "reply" - so here goes,
with my apologies to the creator of this particular post.

I have an 11-page newsletter, created in Publisher 2003. I need to send
various pages to either my client or proofreaders, etc. The pages I need to
send often vary from person to person. I'd like to create separate docs for
each page, as well as keep a file containing the entire newsletter (I don't
have a pdf writer). How can I create a separate pub. document for each,
individual page? Thanks!

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

The best way to create .pdf files of the pages you want to send to the
various people. Go to www.primopdf.com and download PrimoPDf. It's free and
will allow you to create the files you need. *Believe me*, as a newsletter
editor you NEED something that will let you do that.

Dear Mary,
As I wrote in the previous thread, I have all latest both OS and Office
service packs. It is the same on different computers, different both OS and
Office languages and different OS versions.
And it is always and ONLY Publisher, so I still think this is not windows
issue.

Thanks for trying to help though, it is big problem for me.

Do a detect and repair in Publisher found under Help. Windows controls your font
folder, not Publisher. The Georgia font is installed with Windows, as well as
many other fonts. You will not be able to repair your font issue through
Publisher.

I downloaded and installed your font. I understand what you are saying, the
glyphs do work in Word. If you open the character map you will find the caron
glyph is not included in this font. However if you type alt+138 the capital S
with the caron will appear. 0+154 will bring up the small s.

--
Mary Sauer MSFT MVP
http://office.microsoft.com/

Surprisely..... I do believe the problem is in the fonts, in theirs
mappings, or some technical stuff in it - remember the characters can be
insereted through insert symbol command.
Although Publisher should work as well as Word with them, I am able to admit
that it has - becuse of its purpose and power - handle them the another way
and that way forgets to put up with some of our fonts data.
I would really welcome to hear from some guy who made this stuff a deeply
technical information how to make the font Publisher-compatible. Or somebody
who knows where could I ask.

I absolutely have no time to find repro or browse my font library and find
out which font is refused completely even when using basic latin characters,
however I did find one which is probably not mapped correctly. It behaves
very well in contrast to some others.

I included screen shot in Word and in Publisher, typed by keyboard. The
TrueType font can be downloaded at
http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/fonts/pc/PORCELAI.ZIP. Note that when you
insert in the Publisher the s with caron using Insert symbol, it works.

1) Why has the Word no problems with the scaron glyph and the Publisher has?

2) What can I do to make this font work?

Please do not write that this font is downloaded from the internet for free
so it hasn't some chars or is shoddy. This is maybe true, maybe isn't. I
would like to know, what is wrong inside the font file, and how to correct
it in order to be able to make my own, Publisher-compatible fonts.

Thanks.

Hi Vanilla.
Yes I think this is Publisher-only problem, but I don't have troubles
that it
works some day and some no... it just don't work me all the time. Maybe
it
works when you don't use the characters which are missing/wrong
mapped -
maybe.

I'm afraid I can't help you but it's quite fine finding that I'm not
alone
with such problem.


Hi JoAn & Jan
Thanks for responding to my thread.

Those fonts--I am talking about--are freeware, completely free. They
worked
previously and they might work again next time when I want to use
them. What
makes it frustrating is that one day there is no problem at all using
them,
but maybe the next day none of those fonts are 'willing to work' for
you.
You just don't know what's going to happen expect.
Plus there are no problems at all with Word documents; which makes me
think
that there is something about Publisher which makes them 'act' the way
they
do.

Some of the fonts are came fron TypeOasis.

My fonts are become unstable in Publisher. I believe manly those
that I
downloaded from the internet. Sometimes I'm not able to use them
at all
even
though, they are still appearing installed. Or I just able to
change part
of
the text and if I add more to it the whole text changes back to the
previous
font.
In Word I do not have any problems with my downloaded fonts.

Any idea what's happening and what could be the solution?

I appreciate your help.

 

[Jan Kucera]

Hi Mary, thank you for looking into that, sorry for not being very friendly
all the time.
First of all, do you know why it works in Word and other applications I've
tried and it doesn't in Publisher?
Secondly, where did you find the (s)caron is not defined? I have opened the
font (in Font Creator) and found scaron, Scaron and caron glyphs. If I open
the properties of the scaron glyph, I can find this:

PostScript name: scaron
Mappings:
-Macintosh roman [Byte encoding table] to $009A (latin small letter o with
diaeresis]
-Microsoft Unicode BMP only [Segment mapping to delta values] to $0161
(latin small letter s with caron)
-Unicode 1.0 semantics [Segment mapping to delta values] to $0161 (latin
small letter s with caron)

Can you see what is missing?
Or what else need to be specified?

Thank you again,
Jan.

I downloaded and installed your font. I understand what you are saying, the
glyphs do work in Word. If you open the character map you will find the
caron glyph is not included in this font. However if you type alt+138 the
capital S with the caron will appear. 0+154 will bring up the small s.

Surprisely..... I do believe the problem is in the fonts, in theirs
mappings, or some technical stuff in it - remember the characters can be
insereted through insert symbol command.
Although Publisher should work as well as Word with them, I am able to
admit
that it has - becuse of its purpose and power - handle them the another
way
and that way forgets to put up with some of our fonts data.
I would really welcome to hear from some guy who made this stuff a deeply
technical information how to make the font Publisher-compatible. Or
somebody
who knows where could I ask.

I absolutely have no time to find repro or browse my font library and
find
out which font is refused completely even when using basic latin
characters,
however I did find one which is probably not mapped correctly. It behaves
very well in contrast to some others.

I included screen shot in Word and in Publisher, typed by keyboard. The
TrueType font can be downloaded at
http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/fonts/pc/PORCELAI.ZIP. Note that when
you insert in the Publisher the s with caron using Insert symbol, it
works.

1) Why has the Word no problems with the scaron glyph and the Publisher
has?

2) What can I do to make this font work?

Please do not write that this font is downloaded from the internet for
free
so it hasn't some chars or is shoddy. This is maybe true, maybe isn't. I
would like to know, what is wrong inside the font file, and how to
correct
it in order to be able to make my own, Publisher-compatible fonts.

Thanks.
Jan.

PS: I'm sorry Vanilla for taking your thread, but the problem you
described
is exactly the same I have too and I believe it can be solved answering
these questions.

Thanks Mary,
I did try font repair; but it does not seem to do anything. I
downloaded
the program twice.

I installed the .ttf version, so my results were based on that.

I then installed the postscript font and the (s)caron symbols are present. They
will insert from Publisher's symbol menu and when typing the alt+number. So the
font is stable and works the way it should. (The Type1 version had the (s)caron
capital T missing). Why Publisher and Word differs in the way they work I
suppose it has something to do with coding. Word is primarily a document
application and does have the capability of opening WordPerfect documents. I
understand WordPerfect uses Type1 fonts more so than Word.

How many folks need these symbols for page layout?

I also looked at ttf version, I've never worked with the postscript one nor
I know whether I could it open at all.. So what are your steps from which
I can see the scaron is missing?

If your symbols means letters with caron and so on, then these are quite
common in other languages...

Well still don't know what to do in the ttf to make it work... because in
other fonts, like Arial.. it of course works.

In the charmap I can't see anywhere which glyphs and how are defined.... I
only see the actual glyphs and when I point to them, the name and alt
keystroke appears.
However I have a key on the keyboard for the scaron, as you can have for ü
or something, but ü works, and ¹ doesn't. But even the alt keystrokes
doesn't work for me in the Publisher too.

I simply inserted through the alt+number. Have you tried the alt+0138 for
the capital s and alt+0154 for the small s?

If I open the properties of the scaron glyph, I can find this:

PostScript name: scaron
Mappings:
-Macintosh roman [Byte encoding table] to $009A (latin small letter o
with diaeresis]
-Microsoft Unicode BMP only [Segment mapping to delta values] to $0161
(latin small letter s with caron)
-Unicode 1.0 semantics [Segment mapping to delta values] to $0161
(latin small letter s with caron)

Can you see what is missing?
Or what else need to be specified?

Thank you again,
Jan.


I downloaded and installed your font. I understand what you are saying,
the glyphs do work in Word. If you open the character map you will find
the caron glyph is not included in this font. However if you type
alt+138 the capital S with the caron will appear. 0+154 will bring up
the small s.

Surprisely..... I do believe the problem is in the fonts, in theirs
mappings, or some technical stuff in it - remember the characters can
be
insereted through insert symbol command.
Although Publisher should work as well as Word with them, I am able
to admit
that it has - becuse of its purpose and power - handle them the
another way
and that way forgets to put up with some of our fonts data.
I would really welcome to hear from some guy who made this stuff a
deeply
technical information how to make the font Publisher-compatible. Or
somebody
who knows where could I ask.

I absolutely have no time to find repro or browse my font library and
find
out which font is refused completely even when using basic latin
characters,
however I did find one which is probably not mapped correctly. It
behaves
very well in contrast to some others.

I included screen shot in Word and in Publisher, typed by keyboard.
The TrueType font can be downloaded at
http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/fonts/pc/PORCELAI.ZIP. Note that
when you insert in the Publisher the s with caron using Insert
symbol, it works.

1) Why has the Word no problems with the scaron glyph and the
Publisher has?

2) What can I do to make this font work?

Please do not write that this font is downloaded from the internet
for free
so it hasn't some chars or is shoddy. This is maybe true, maybe
isn't. I
would like to know, what is wrong inside the font file, and how to
correct
it in order to be able to make my own, Publisher-compatible fonts.

Thanks.
Jan.

PS: I'm sorry Vanilla for taking your thread, but the problem you
described
is exactly the same I have too and I believe it can be solved
answering these questions.


Thanks Mary,
I did try font repair; but it does not seem to do anything. I
downloaded
the program twice.

TweakUI has a font folder repair utility that may help.

I know fonts can be pricey, but they are well worth the price if
you are
concerned about the integrity of your publications.

Hi Vanilla.
Yes I think this is Publisher-only problem, but I don't have
troubles
that it
works some day and some no... it just don't work me all the time.
Maybe
it
works when you don't use the characters which are missing/wrong
mapped -
maybe.

I'm afraid I can't help you but it's quite fine finding that I'm
not
alone
with such problem.


Hi JoAn & Jan
Thanks for responding to my thread.

Those fonts--I am talking about--are freeware, completely free.
They
worked
previously and they might work again next time when I want to
use
them. What
makes it frustrating is that one day there is no problem at all
using
them,
but maybe the next day none of those fonts are 'willing to work'
for
you.
You just don't know what's going to happen expect.
Plus there are no problems at all with Word documents; which
makes me
think
that there is something about Publisher which makes them 'act'
the way
they
do.

Some of the fonts are came fron TypeOasis.

There are some fonts that you can download that do not include
the
whole
alphabet unless you pay for it.

message
My fonts are become unstable in Publisher. I believe manly
those
that I
downloaded from the internet. Sometimes I'm not able to use
them
at all
even
though, they are still appearing installed. Or I just able to
change part
of
the text and if I add more to it the whole text changes back
to the
previous
font.
In Word I do not have any problems with my downloaded fonts.

Any idea what's happening and what could be the solution?

I appreciate your help.
