Font Manager shows it as being installed. Here's Illustrator using the font correctly and Corel showing the wrong version AND not allowing me to change it to the correct version. It greatly increased the ease of use of working with hundreds of pages in my workflow but that one feature isn't enough to keep me using this version in a production environment.Īnd no, the font isn't the issue. Believe me when I say that I'm super disappointed in this version. I would try using another font manager to keep using this version but if there's a chance that Corel might decide to automatically convert to Arial with no warning, then a font manager is useless. It did but it also converted all of that text to curves. One of my designers had a Panose suggestion to switch from a TTF to an OTF version.

Install the Gotham font using Windows, open Corel and the file again for the correct font to be opened properly. Then it wouldn't allow me to change the text to Gotham in the program. I manually selected Gotham from the drop down and it still opened using Arial. It showed Arial being the Panose suggestion. It happened with Gotham on a particular file. It just opens and hopefully you notice the switch before hitting save again.Īnother issue is having the Substitute Missing Fonts dialog window open but not seeing the correct suggested font. No Substitute Missing Fonts dialog window. I've had multiple files where a font will be switched to Arial without warning. The best thing about FM is the ability to install fonts automatically through the Panose matching but it straight up doesn't work. Multiple fonts are unusable through Font Manager. The fonts manager is totally broken in my opinion. If it is a seven, replace it with a standard seven on your keyboard.This is more of a post of hope that Corel sees this and tries to fix it but it won't matter in the short term since I'm reverting my department back to version 2020. For each of the characters that were giving you and issue, you will do a find/replace. Select a sample of the missing glyphs and run through your fonts until you find one that displays them properly.Ģ. There maybe an easier way to tackle this but this is how I do it.ġ. If you find that the font you need to use still does not have the glyphs and you still have those squares, you may need to do some find and replaces. This dialog will allow you to replace missing fonts with something suitable. It appears that you may have carried some formatting over from the previous document.įirst ensure that you have a suitable replacement font. It gives you more flexibility in posting and it is more likely to be answered. In the future, you may want to consider posting questions in the forum section. You only need to delete them in the event you were having a problem. For the archane details of what these files do, I’ll refer you to Thomas’ blog entry.īut there’s nothing wrong with having these files! They normally do no harm, and they probably speed up your font display. One of them is the AdobeFnt.db file I’ve circled in the illustration above. The confusion is that there are also two files whose names begin with AdobeFnt, which you don’t want to delete. These are the font cache files which you may want to delete. If you do a search like I did, you’ll see a large number of files with the extension *.lst.

Thomas’ post is to tell you how to correctly delete these files. You can freely delete font cache files because the operating system or the Adobe font mechanism automatically generates new ones when it needs them. But that would require a separate article!) (This can also be caused by a corrupted font as well. The symptoms of corruption might be a font which displays incorrectly.
It’s rather a rare event, but because these files may be updated and modified, it’s possible that they, like all files on your computer, may get corrupted. Your operating system and Adobe’s own font technology (used in all the Adobe Creative Suite applications) create cache files to make font display faster. It turns out that these are font cache files. What are these mysterious files which appear in odd places in your computer? For example, when I did a search this morning on my computer, here’s a partial list of what I found: I was reminded of this because of a post this week by Adobe’s resident font guru, Thomas Phinney, on his blog. One of these pieces of knowledge is that if you’re having font problems (fonts which don’t display correctly, for example), a possible solution is to delete the AdobeFnt files on your computer. Those who have worked with fonts for a long time have developed a lore about them, and how to handle them successfully.
