Agreed, but it is the out all the big guys use, even Adobe states to export from Indesign and print the PDF. Quark does too as you have seen, The guy who writes the MS OFfice Print engine actually wrote a whole blog post about it. You have the worst case since you are on a Mac, You could eliminate the issue at the driver level in Windows with just about every PS driver Xerox has by changing the font handler, but it isn't possible on the Mac (OS won't allow it), And you can't go PCL because nobody makes PCL drivers for OSX (Yes there is a generic PCL in the OS, no it isn't capable of pretty much any specific features)
Thanks, Joe. As far as I can see, the font is rightly embedded (with QuarkXPress it is very easy to controll embedded fonts before printing, you can even embed or unembed every single font), so that's not the point. Your suggestion to write PDF/X and then print is -in my opinion- one step too much, but if there's no other way, I'll have to do it. The other links you gave are helpfull in a way to notice, that I'm not the only person with this problem, but there are no real solutions mentioned, as far as I can see ...
the following combination doesn't function: printing a Quark (9.5.4 as well as 2015) document with typefont JoannaNova, a open type (CFF W1G) font. Computer: Mac, system: Mavericks, printer: Phaser 6600N. And it says: ERROR invalidfont / Offending Command: definefont // STACK: /Font -dictionary- /(name of the font that doesn't print). Other programms function well (Illustrator, Acrobat). What's going wrong?
I am in discussion with my designer in Japan and he said he does not want to move to InDesign and his reasons include the following:2) AID provides only a few Japanese fonts in the open type format, failing to satisfy designers' needs for
as high creativity in design as being required currently.
3) Japanese fonts are unreasonably expensive. Many designers are unwilling to "abandon" the existing font assets: Usually a single font set of a particular style costs $300-$500.
4) In AID, one can use part of the existing Japanese fonts, but even so, Japanese fonts and English fonts are
incompatible in the case of the open type format. (One has to buy new sets of open format Japanese fonts)
5) AID costs $9000.I know #5 can't be correct, but can someone tell me more about fonts... Will he have to abandon any of the fonts that he currently uses in Japanese Quark 4?Will I be able to open InDesign files with Japanese fonts in them whether they are created in English InDesign 2 or Japanese InDesign 2? I have a G4 running OS 10.2.5.Thanks for any help.

Coming back to InDesign. The JP version open the English version and you can edit the text. So you know, I have been using my Englsih version of InDesign to typeset Japanese, Chinese, Simplify and Traditional, Korean and other left to right languages without too much trouble. I am able to mix fonts to my heart desire: OpenType, TruType, PS1, and even dFonts; and again I haven't seen too many problems.I am hoping that Adobe will improve the capabilities of InDesign to be more compatible with the JP version or any other language, so I can realy work in a multi-;ingual application for all my needs.Here is more info for the JP verison of InDesign: I believe that when he reads more about InDesign he will be able to make a better choice of pagelayout.
I'm a little confused by the argument that seems to say that not enough OpenType fonts are available to make InDesign worthwhile. InDesign can work with older fonts, and the extra capabilities it has with OpenType fonts are essentially a "bonus."Also, not only does InDesign J come with several very high quality Japanese OpenType fonts from Adobe, but Morisawa and TypeBank both make Japanese OpenType fonts.I believe the cost of InDesign J is proportional to the US price, although the added features might make a difference. I would be very surprised if it were anything like $9000.Regards,TThomas Phinney

The J versions of PageMaker and QuarkXPress are essentially just the Roman version with Japanese dictionaries and text directions tacked on. Neither application has Japanese/Asian grid-based composition. InDesignJ, by contrast, has a full set of Japanese-specific composition features.As Mr. Phinney points out, InDesign is compatible with most current font formats. InDesignJ costs about $900 US. For the differnce between that and the price of QuarkXPressJ, your friend should be able to buy quite a few nice OpenType fonts.Next, InDesign can create composite fonts from any compatible font format, giving you the ability to use the J glyphs from one font, the Roman characters from another, and the symbols from yet another, should you so desire.As Marco points out, both versions of InDesign can open files in either format.Thanks,Ole
I just completed my first job in Japanese this morning. The client sent me word doc prepared in J by professional translator that I then imported into ID using Osaka. I could print live files and PDF's here in office. I sent the printer a PDF file and he couldn't queue it to his AB Dick DPM2000 platemaker. Even more surprising, he couldn't download the ps file I sent to his platemaker either. We finally scanned my bw printout and printed from that. Any suggestions? Should I have used one of the other Japanese fonts? Oh - even though he's running X, he couldn't print from my live file which is how the whole thing with PDF and PS came about. I think he's running 10.1. Thanks.
I'm trying to rationalize some font setups, and am perplexed by what I'm seeing with Quark 9. The computers that I'm looking at have some private copies of some Helvetica fonts. A bunch of these fonts are also contained within /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont, so FontBook complains about the duplicates. I'd like to ditch the files in /Library/Fonts in favor of the System versions, and every program except Quark 9 is happy with that.
It's the /System/Library/Fonts location. If I copy the Helvetica.dfont file into /Library/Fonts, then FontBook freaks out about all the duplicates, but Quark sees the fonts and offers them all up on the fonts menu.
Typeface makes the targeted font automatically available to QuarkXPress.The font will be temporarily activated, which means that it will be deactivated when you close Typeface (depending on your current settings).This allows you to freely try and switch fonts and you don't have to worry about cleaning up later.
When you drag a font to QuarkXPress Typeface will check if it has the necessary permission to switch fonts. The following steps guide you through setting these permissions. If you've already given permission the font of the currently selected text in QuarkXPress will be changed right away.
The first time you're using Typeface to switch fonts a file access dialog may show up, which asks for permission to communicate with other apps. The correct folder is already preselected, choose Allow to give Typeface access. This has to be done only once. If you have previously given Typeface access you don't have to give access again and the dialog will not show up.
Security restrictions in macOS prevent communication between apps by default. A dialog to request permission will automatically show up. Choose OK to give Typeface access. This has to be done once for every app you want to switch fonts in. After giving permission the dialog will not show up anymore for QuarkXPress and Typeface will continue to be able to switch fonts.
Text is an integral part of nearly every publication. QuarkXPress lets you create and edit text directly in your publications or import text from most popular word processing applications. In addition to the standard text formatting and editing features, QuarkXPress includes such features as finding and changing text and its attributes, spell checking, custom spelling dictionaries, and a font usage utility for making project-wide changes to text formatting.
Press Command+Option+Shift+M/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M to jump directly to the font field in the Measurements palette, enter the first few characters of the font name until it is recognized, then press Return/Enter. Now select a font style from the font style menu.
Your most recently used fonts display at the top of any font list. Specify the number of recently used fonts you want to be displayed in Preferences > Application > Fonts. To turn this feature off, specify a 0.
To display font previews in font menus, check the Show in Font Menu box in the Fonts pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu). Press Shift key to temporarily override this preference.
But, many of the font families have more than a single font style which map to the same font face like Bold, SemiBold, Condensed Bold, Heavy, Black font styles which map to Bold. In such cases, if the user clicked the bold button to apply bold styling, there was no standard mechanism to identify which of the bold face font styles should be selected. Likewise, on clicking on the Bold button to remove bold styling, there was no standard mechanism to identify which of the plain face font styles should be selected. This behavior created a lot of confusion for the users.
It was not possible to add buttons for each of the font styles as the font families could have numerous font styles . Multiple clicks on a single button to select the desired font style was also not a feasible solution.
