I'm a reformed font addict. Since January 1st, I've been on a mission to remove fonts from my system that I don't like or know I won't ever use. They not only take up space but when I need to make interesting graphics (I do social media for clients) I have too many too look through to make good choices.
Can someone tell me why I have literally hundreds of Arabic fonts, I can assure you I didn't download them. But what is most interesting is that most of them I cannot delete at all, the option is grayed out.
If you wish to proceed with removing them despite this the link to their locations were posted by me previously then you do so willingly that any outcome and any issues that occur will be your responsibility entirely.
additionally FontBook may not be flexible when you are working with hundreds of typefaces and their fonts and a 3rd party solution may allow your system may benefit from a dedicated font management system optimized for larger font libraries.
Thanks Jimmy. Do you have any 3rd party suggestions? It's just odd to me that they don't allow me to remove fonts in different languages, when I only speak English and I'm virtually 100% sure I will not need Chinese fonts anytime soon. I can't imagine why that is.
I'm sure you (and Apple for that matter) understand that when I'm going for a few interesting fonts to use together my job is a LOT more difficult when I have to scoll thru 1000's of fonts many of them, in various funky languages.
I've made all the designers I support downgrade to FB but I we manage by client or job so it's easier to navigate, disable or enable sets, as a result the applications are faster loading and working with fonts - as a rule I do not disable those "non english" fonts as you may not need them but the system may use them for a number of reasons, web pages for one.
After further investigation, I realized that this problem only occurs in the Chrome browser.
But the previous fonts that I made with G2 do not have this problem in Chrome.
I sent the font file with a sample text of this problem.
i urgently need for my studies arabic fonts support on my arch system.
since browsing arabic web sites and composing emails in arabic with mozilla is no problem, i suppose arabic fonts are already installed. but what i have to do that they work with other applications - especially with abiword and aterm?
i have no experience with arabic fonts, but if you have a font installed, that has arabic chars, you have then only to make sure, you can input arabic (in kde switch keyboard to some country that uses arabic) .... wait a min .. i have to google for more infos ...
i already googled without success - may be i used the wrong key words but the once solution i found was yast related and as far as i know from my suse time arabic fonts or chars are already enabled on suse
Just to confirm, but as someone who has had experience with displaying Arabic on Linux, the bitstream vera fonts have the necessary glyphs. The ms-ttf-fonts are also good (thini arial and times new roman).
I've never used abiword, but OpenOffice has always coped. With regards to terminals, I've not had any experience. I recall Suse 9.1 worked ok from Konsole, but I think it had utf-8 encoding enabled by default.
Even after I have set up keyboard Arabic input the downloaded Arabic fonts still come up either as boxes ( adobe Arabic system font) or English letters are displaying with and Arabic "look"
The document which you create will open in their version of InDesign and appears well however, they will have to fix many things, most importantly text frame threading which needs addressing before using the document as all text frames must be flipped and shifted from their location on left page to right page and vise-versa.
So if you want my opinion, you'd better download an older InDesign with Arabic Support and build your template there. This way you keep your latest English InDesign version and use the older InDesign for this particular job.

It does not look as it suppose to look like and also it adds some symbols that are not suppose to be there.
When I upload the same font file to other design tool (Pitch) it looks as it shown online of the font specimen page. What could be the problem here?
Hi, I've similar issue, same fonts are working in previous versions (Illustrator 2021) but 2022 can't read 90% of arabic fonts. It Shows the font and preview but when you select a font either its some boxes or just the same characters....
AXT (Arabic Xtension) fonts were created for QuarkXpress in the 1980s, they're bad enough to use in a publication as they're not searchable in a PDF. Adobe announced back in 2014 that they will stop supporting these fonts. I know AXT fonts are widely used in the Arab World because these fonts are bastards as no one owns them now.
I have a small problem regarding fonts since I'm working on Arabic lessons. My problem is that when I view my work in the preview option it is neat and nice, but after I publish the lesson some letters are being misplaced or seems to be collided with the border. Is there some fonts you could recommend for me to get over this problem?
It solved my problem. I guess the problem was not using a Unicode font. Is there any other Unicode font that is supported in Storyline for Arabic text? Or is it a general concept for all Unicode fonts?
And if you're able to share a sample slide with our Support Engineers for testing, that would be gold! You can send it privately to our team here. They'll take a closer look, and will delete it after troubleshooting.
Arabic fonts are unfortunately not relative to Latin fonts in size; when choosing a specific font size, then Latin fonts are definitively much larger. When regular browsers set a browser font which is readable in English, will be too small to read in Arabic even if font size is chosen same. It would be awesome if brave could automatically detect arabic fonts and resize them to be relative to latin fonts.
attached file/ with arabic font/ if i plot to my ploter its ok ./ if i plot vea outocade pdf pc3 the letters not conected/ there is no glue btween them // why ?plz try it / i checked the difrence btween confegration of my ploter ant aut-pdf ploter /and some thing missing / i red a pit about it/it seems conected to these 2 / how can i install them in aut pdf plooter ??? is it posseple .
I have found that the Capture fonts options does work with some SHX files but not all. I have logged this issue with the team in the past. The Product Feedback page as suggested by @WarrenGeissler is a great way to bring additional attention to the issue.
the text u sugest is true the only arab text ploted wright in the pdf ploter .but its so bad .the leters grafecs (the midle leters and the end leters ) not good . check plz the end leter in the word ... its not the same .. and if want to change it need to do shift all the time i hate it its bad font not easly readable ........ im sorry about my inglesh.
If you're only using Arabic fonts then i think the charset iso-8859-6 will work. I've never worked with Arabic fonts, but UTF-8 is only supposed to work for languages with Latin letters and extra ASCII characters. I do not know if Arabic is a part of UTF-8. Try iso-8859-6!
Your problem is that the encoding is getting jacked up somewhere along the way. You should be saving the information in the database as Unicode, as Ignacio said. Then, when you display it in your webpage, you need to encode the text as utf-8.
I was using lunacy version 6.9 without any problem but since version 7 one of the fonts can't be read, I skipped the update and rolled back to version 6.9... today I downloaded the latest version (v7.1) but the problem still persist hence I'm making this report.
Dear Team, I hope you are well.
while integrating with outlook to automate our workflow, we would like to customize the emails which are sent to our clients and change the fonts, sizes , etc. However, this feature is not currently available.
It would be awesome if we could customize the automate emails so our clients would have a better view while receiving our messages.
Thank you for your assistance in advance.
Arabic fonts tend to appear smaller than Latin fonts because of the vertical space taken up by diacratics. This is especially noticeable when typesetting the Quran, which has much more of these than Standard Arabic. My question is, should I scale up the font, by say, about 1.2 or 1.4, in order to account for this? Or is this a bad design decision? What font size do Arabic books usually use?
Even within Latin fonts there is a wide variation in x-height. You also have to account for bolding, stretching, letter spacing l and other effects. CSS even has font-size-adjust and size- adjust for this purpose.
its seems rapidweaver is forcing mac arabic fonts on arabic text , making it very very hard to fomat it on foundry or font pro , the only way is to use html stack which making it like hell to format it , please please fix this problem .
the image above to show how much i suffer , it create even span for every word , making it very hard to use any font stack to format my text with the font i want because there is inline html created by force from rapidweaver
In Styled Text, you may want to select the entire text block and format is as paragraph via the format menu. Then you can force your own font and styles onto all paragraphs using Font Pro. I have helped some Japanese users do exactly this with Font Pro.
