<div>You should have at least one sans-serif, one serif and one monospace font (mainly for web browsing). You should be safe with only ttf-freefont and ttf-liberation. Note, all truetype font packages start with 'ttf-'. OpenType font packages begin with 'otf-'. To remove all OpenType fonts, remove all packages starting with 'otf-'.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Free Fonts No Download Required</div><div></div><div>Download Zip: https://t.co/KrKWuWuJjq </div><div></div><div></div><div>Additional data point: Running Arch and Gnome with testing repos and have been experiencing the same issue as the OP. I've tried a clean build using the latest AUR package that was just released (ttf-google-fonts-git 1:r6359.d19527646-2) and continue to get the same unresolvable conflict error as the OP.</div><div></div><div></div><div>It's more that I want to be in control of the fonts running on my computer - not someone else. As a graphic designer I run with the minimum fonts possible - and only activite fonts as and when necassary. I'm a big fan of Kurt Lang:</div><div></div><div></div><div>Kurt Lang - the font management guru - doesn't recommend this. I've tried moving them out of the folder, but can't. And the folder does say Resources / Required / fonts so given these three things I'm reluctant to delete the fonts in case it breaks CC</div><div></div><div></div><div>So how do I resolve this, I'm unclear what the minimal font set required for my Java application to work. Im unclear do I just need to provide fonts or a fonts.properties file as well, or is that file only used by Oracle jres rather than OpenJdk</div><div></div><div></div><div>Recent openjdk and java versions use fontconfig that can choose the appropriate fonts (or font substitutions) on a wide range of locales (for example build text from several fonts when no system font has sufficient coverage alone). It is much more complete and accurate than the old system that only covered a limited set of encoding and locales, could only make simple decisions and required manual declaration of font substitution order in fonts.properties files. Basically the old system could not scale to the number of locales in the world and the complexity of today's unicode</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>But to compute the correct choices fontconfig needs fonts to be analyzed and indexed first. That's what fc-cache is about. Fontconfig can not just read font files on demand, the Google Noto font family weights gigabytes alone for example, it needs to pre-compute an index to help choose quickly the right file or files whenever there is a run of text to render. Lucida is a legacy font with toy (by current standards) unicode coverage.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I don't remember if you can configure fontconfig to watch its font directories and autogenerate new caches whenever they change. That would probably not be a great idea, indexing complex opentype unicode fonts is very computing intensive and people have been known to move files around a log while putting their font directories in order.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You can use Icongram. It helps you to import required icons from various libraries like FontAwesome, Material etc. If you need more customization not sure if it will help you but it can cater to most use cases.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Installed a new Epson printer (old printer was also an Epson). Windows 7. Scanned a document (as PDF). When attempting to open the scanned document, using Adobe, I received an error message. "A font package is required in order to correctly display this page." I was directed to install add-on from adobe.com. I don't know what I should add-on. Trying to install Creative Cloud desktop. It stalled at 64%. I don't know if this will resolve my issue.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Yes, that is the font pack have to install. There is likely a chance a font is used which has Asian characters in it and Reader doesn't have those fonts by default available. And those are not usually required unless you open such a file.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I let all fonts I used to use when I found there was free and paid between them and the files were mixed. I started from zero to find a clear resource and I found google fonts. Then I was shocked with this word "attribution". I think, "It is impossible and insane to attribute if you use a font for one word or in a piece of art or in a video, and the usage rate was simple." I've never seen anyone do that! I cannot find a clear answer, and on the other hand, by attribution, do they mean the source if you edit it or use it in a piece software or in a project?</div><div></div><div></div><div>OFL fonts have no attribution requirement of downstream work. The license as such applies to the font program and the name. This is by far the most common Google font license. You only need to include the license and copyright if you distribute the font program (in other words a font file so end users can edit things).</div><div></div><div></div><div>I am not sure if I understand clearly what you are concerned with. Google fonts are free to use in both commercial and non-commercial projects, so you should be able to use them in any piece of art or film without attribution.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Attribution is only required under some licences, if you were to edit the font, make a derivative work, and redistribute it as another font, as your own work. It's not required for normal use of a font in a project. Some licences also require that you share the derivative font freely (Share alike).</div><div></div><div></div><div>i have reached this link when i decided to get the answer from the source .. SIL Open Font License, 1.1 . not required notice the licence it may be different in each font ..</div><div></div><div></div><div>With the proper PDF job options, fonts are embedded into the PDF as live type. This allows the font to retain it's original hinting data. See here for an explanation on hinting: When is font hinting used for print?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The only reason to ever outline type is to prevent font issues when opening the file in a different work environment. However, no other application or format embeds live type. This is the difference with the PDF format -- embedded fonts. PDF is designed to be a self-contained, all inclusive, format unlike other applications. If you were to send an .eps or .ai or .psd file, then yes, you need to also send the fonts or if not sending fonts, outline the type. But none of that is needed for the PDF format, especially not for PDF/X files.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If I do the same on Leap 15.2, dvips takes the cmssi type1 fonts (e.g. /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/cm/cmssi10.pfb) from the package texlive-amsfonts. Of course I have the texlive-amsfonts package installed on Tumbleweed, too. As I understand, type1 fonts should be prefered over Metafont, anyway.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In order to add fonts, you have to be signed in to the Creative Cloud desktop application with a named-user Creative Cloud subscription. It isn't possible to add fonts with a device or site-wide Creative Cloud license.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I appreciate the solution given by Jens and find it's a nice one. The problem with that solution is that the required font Times-Roman is actually missing from the Type1 Mathematica folder. So I just wanted to share a workaround I found. It's very simple.</div><div></div><div></div><div>After some googling, I found a solution which required me to check if any of the fonts being used were "Locked" (I'm on Mac, BTW). However after going through each one I found out that they're all unlocked and permissions are set to read/write on their folders.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As for the 'greek' page, the files were zipped in a .rar. I've uploaded a duplicate .zip archive, which should be able to be opened by Macs without any 3rd party software. I wouldn't waste time trying it though. I'll search for the Mac related fonts and system files when I get to school tomorrow, until then, there's not much I can do./* Reason I ask for no emails, just to clarify, is that I'm subscribed to this thread, and will receive email notifications of any additional posts.

If anyone has a solution, please email me at eisor at uga dot edu.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Thanks so much for all your help with the missing fonts and getting dreaded error message. Everything worked fine. I downloaded your reqrd.rar and zipped it to get the relevant 2 folders. I searched and searched as to where to put it, like Ann I have a MAC. I followed Ann's location on my mac and got to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts and that's all I had. I moved Domingo's Reqrd Folder over and renamed the folder to Reqrd (full location now Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/Reqrd.) I opened up both Indesign CS2 & Photoshop CS2</div><div></div><div>and both errors have been resolved (Indesign with the error about CMAPS & Photoshop with error that Abobe could not complete your request because of a program error.)Thank you so much Domingo & Ann for your insight to where on a MAC the folders would go.All the best and Happy Holidays.Richie</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I've been using Ccleaner for years, and I appreciate the program. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I would LOVE to have an accessibility feature that allows the user to enlarge fonts. I'm in my 60s. My 22" monitor is about 3 feet from my eyes. I need a customizable larger fonts option.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Thanks!</div><div></div><div></div><div>There's always Resource Hacker ( ) to "try to increase the fonts" in programs that will allow it (many don't). In some programs it's easy, it's literally changing for instance the font type size from for example 10 to 12, but it can screw up any dialog boxes a program may have and it's only useful for very old programs that don't get updated frequently or for those which are abandon-ware. It isn't worth even trying with CCleaner being that it's digitally signed and will probably cause antivirus to think it's malware, and since CCleaner gets updated too frequently.</div><div></div><div> dd2b598166</div>
