Original Mac Font

[Kym Wash]

Replyingor forwarding messages - You can have a different font on messages you're forwarding or replying to. This setting is mostly for the two check boxes that let you mark your comments with your name (or other text) or with a different color of text.

Composing and reading plain text messages - Plain text messages will be received by the other person with a standard font, but if you want to use a nicer font when you're writing the message you can. Just understand that font won't be sent with the message.

Hi, I start to write an email, then paste another one into it - the new one is pasted in a different font. I try to go to the end of that bit and write some more, but I can't figure out how to get my original font back for that bit. It just stays in the same font as the pasted bit now. Any help appreciated! Thanks

I played around with it and it seems there are a couple of ways. One is to paste unformatted as suggested and then just select it and apply formatting to the selection. (This might be better because it stops the "ransom note" effect of a whole bunch of formatted pastes from various places.)

On the other hand, if you do want to preserve source formatting, it seems to work fine if I just put a word (or really even a character) after the insertion(paste) point. Then paste formatted, and the word or character after the pasted text remains in the previous format, as does anything you add to that area.

If you are pasting from another app or email, it's best to Paste Without Formatting (Ctrl+Shift+V), to avoid adding unwanted formatting. Pasting the normal way from Word to Outlook 'works' because it's a closed system of proprietary formats.

Yes that is one way. I just like being able to paste something in a different format (from anywhere, not just Word) to make that passage stand out, and then comment on it in my original format. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard to do.

Just come across this issue myself. Found a resolve, not sure if this will work for everyone. I was trying to edit a PDF that was using the Calibri font which I didn't have on my macbook. I then went and downloaded it using an external website but I couldn't use in it Acrobat. Acrobat uses fonts from 'Adobe Fonts' since the newest CC update. I found and downlaoded the font on Adobe Fonts and its now working.

Same issue as everyone else. I am experienceing the same exact thing. It will allow me to edit one word but the second I move to another word or text or box it defualts to Geneva with the error message.

i would appreciate any help I can get!

I do not quite understand why in a pdf editing software changing the text (if available on the computer and in the pdf fonts list) should be that "complex" in the first place ?!!

Sure but what if your font (which you've installed locally) can't be found on Adobe Fonts?

There's no reason that user-installed fonts should be inaccessible on an internationally released document creation and editing platform. I think that's the gist of most of the complaints on this thread, and mine as well.

To edit a PDF and preserve the appearance you need to have the font locally on your machine. Editing a PDF is normally not recommended. Best is always to use the source document edit there and recreate a PDF.

I've been using Adobe software since 1994. I'm aware of best practices. I've also had moments in the past 30 years as a designer that editing the PDF itself is the easiest solution, when you don't have access to the source document. If you've always got full source access to everything you get called upon to edit - your life is certainly blessed.

I went to Google Fonts and downloaded the Noto Sans family of fonts, then opened Windows fonts and manually added each of the fonts there. They now appear in all my Microsoft Office apps as well as Adobe.

I fixed this issue by going into the Creative Cloud app, and it turned out my font hadn't downloaded properly. I clicked download family within Creative Cloud and then I could use the font in Adobe Acrobat. Hope this helps someone!

To add to the other comments and for future people looking for a solution. You will need to restart your Adobe product after installing it via the Creative Cloud App, otherwise, it won't work.

My company recently upgraded from WF2.0 to WF4.0 and we were pleased to find the built in Adobe file printer but quickly found that in printing the pdf's that a lot of the text formating was coming out wrong. It is most apparent with notes that are right justified, the pagination and spacing is all wrong. The default drawing text is 'font' and the pdf settings were to convert to true font. I played with it for a bit and found that if the font in the drawing was a true font, I used CG Triumvirate, then it would print the pdf perfectly. So my thought is to try and change the default drawing font to CG Triumvirate. I have been able to manipulate my settings and my config file so that when I create a new drawing it will indeed default to CG Triumvirate. The problem is that when I open up an existing drawing it still opens in the original font. My company has well over 40,000 drawings already in the PDM and we often create new drawings based off of old ones.

Is there any way to change the default drawing font to always open to a font of my choosing? It doesn't seem unreasonable to have a setting like this. I'm sure someone will suggest it, but I have already tried setting 'default_font' to 'CG Triumvirate', and to 'trium', all it does is set my menus to this font and it does nothing for the drawing font. I know that I could go to the menu and select all the text in the drawing and go to Format - Text Style and attack it from that direction, but I have a lot of designers in my group that will forget or will not bother and their drawings will come out not properly formated. If anyone has had this problem, or has a solution it would be greately appreciated.

To me it also makes no sense to have a possibility to change the font globally. Just imagine when you have the font settings in your config.pro, each user might modify his config.pro and get other results than you when opening the drawing.

All of our users use a standardized config.pro file and are not allowed to manipulate the file. What I am trying to say is that I would like a way to setup pro/e so that whenever I open an old drawing it will automatically import the text into the new font of my choice. But from what you are saying, the font settings are stored in the drawing properties for each individual drawing?

It seems odd to me that a macro is what is needed to do something that should be very straight forward and should be a standard setting within pro/e. I suppose this is what I'll have to do if I cannot find another answer.

Yes you are right, this does in fact make everything the way it appears on the screen. We have already considered this, but we as a department are having a really hard time going back to this. Have you seen standard 'font' printed side by side with a truetype font? The difference is night and day. We never realized how hard on our eyes it was to check and read the standard font because it was all we knew, once we started with the truetype font no one in the department wants to go back. We each check each others work, we all check several dozen very detailed drawings each week and it is a huge strain off the eyes to be using the truetype fonts now.

Thanks for your input. Sorry, but I don't follow the suggestion. When I try to edit any text in the document, I am unable to select the "Officina Sans ITC Book" option. It appears at the bottom of the drop down list of fonts, but is grey and "frozen out" - and can not be selected.

I am having the same issue. Our college uses Myriad Pro Regular. I could edit this same document last year before my computer was updated this summer. Now I'm having this issue and I don't see any fix on this so far.

Having same issue. Did a recent Creative Cloud update and although Acrobat wasn't in the update, I now cannot type with Open Sans Condensed on the document that I just typed with that font in Acrobat last week. It's not just this font either. Word types with it fine, Fontbook says the font is fine. Acrobat will actually edit the text of the first line of my old document in Open Sans Condensed until I hit a carriage return then it gives me that same error message that the original font is not available and using Geneva in its place. Very odd that font won't work. I downloaded a version of the font and re-installed, even changed the name of it, but to no use. Stuck in font prison and can't text my way out. Send help.

Ever get a fix? I have the same issue. I have a PDF that I have to fill out 3 times (slightly different) every 2 weeks. Most of the info is the same. We just edit dates and times in about 30 different locations. I get, "The origianl font Arial is not available or can't be used in editing. Adobe Acrobat is using the fong Z...@R9366.tmp in its place." Then instead of an actual font I have just squares.
