| Subject | Displaying text in "uninstalled" font? |
| Message-ID | <81efedba-9097-4e4b-9abe-dc5abe5e299a@googlegroups.com> |
Dear all, If I take the following postscript-file: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 /Arial findfont 15 scalefont setfont 72 200 moveto (text) show showpage then it nicely displays the "text" in Arial, if opening in Adobe Illustrator CS6 Tryout. But I want it to display in Myriad Pro, so I should change the findfont-command: /Myriad-Pro findfont or something like that. However, this gives rise to the error: Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted. Of course, Myriad Pro IS installed in AI CS6. Please note that it is NOT an option to change the font in AI, I want this to be incorporated in the postscript file (which is programmatically generated by myself). I checked the manuals (Bluebook, Language Specification,...) but could not find it. Probably I'm overlooking something. Could anyone offer me some help please? Thanks very much in advance, Jef

Are you sure the PostScript FontName is Myriad-Pro? They'll often have suffixes like -Book or -Regular. -- -- Rod -- rodd(at)polylogics(dot)com

Myriad Pro is (AFAIK) the OpenType version of this font. I'd expect that AI comes with the OpenType version. Is it clever enough to map the PostScript name to the OpenType font? Thomas W.

Thank you all! My problem was solved. It is indeed sufficient to use MyriadPro-Regular. I have to learn quite a lot, clearly... Thank you once again for helping me out so quickly, and providing these interesting references! Greetings, Jef
