Missing required system fonts or cmap files

I have uploaded the archive file to my website for now. Anyone can download them whenever they need to, and if you have any friends or come across anyone with the same issue, you can point them to that location. I have gotten some Emails regarding further issues, not only regarding the files, and I may put up some small posts or docs regarding quick fixes and other work-arounds that come up.

If you still want to email me with a thank you, or anything like that, go ahead ;) but I don't think I'll have to be sending the files as an attachment anymore.

As always, good luck.

Missing Files: http://public.newrandom.com/Reqrd.rar

Instructions:

The attached archive contains the CMaps and Base folders that contain the files that you are most likely missing. Just unzip the files using an unzip program such as winzip, winrar, or Windows built in archive program. Make sure inDesign is not running. Delete the CMaps and Base folders in your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd folder, and copy these new folders in their place. Simply run inDesign and you should no longer be presented with the error message.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me.

I've been getting a ton of emails lately, and I'm just starting to not want to do keep emailing anymore, really. It was good the first 50-60 emails I got, but now it's just getting crazy. I had no idea there were so many people missing these files, and I think this should be a wake-up call to Adobe that they need to figure out what in the world is going on here.

Anyway, I will continue to email the files for now, but I will soon upload them to my public webserver, or some other convenient location, and just let users download them at will.

I will post a link to the files, as well as a few mirrors, as soon as I get them online so expect them sometime this afternoon (GMT -5). In the mean time, don't be afraid to email me =)

Glad to have helped so many people,

Worked great! Thanks Domingo!

Out of the blue, I've got the same problem...missing fonts and no InDesign startup. Man, you'd think these Adobe "showstoppers" would disappear after all these years of getting cussed out! Then there's Premiere....

Domingo, if you can send me those files, I'd be very grateful:

stephen@armours.com

Mucho thanx to all you fellow sufferers and to Domingo for his solution.
No thank to Adobe for their slow and often worthless help...

Stephen Armour

Thanks to Domingo from me, too - his solution works, and I'm really grateful for his help.

Anthony Frost.

Thank you for sending me your files.
Adobe InDesign CS2 works perfectly on my machine.

The only way I was able to fix my missing files error was to request the files from another user on iRC. I HAVE the missing Cmap files that caused this issue for me.

These files go in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps

The following files that should be in there are:

You may for some reason be missing the Base folder. It's also in that Reqrd directory, with the CMaps folder. The files in the Base folder are:

wmbi____.afm
wmbi____.inf
wmbi____.pfb
wmbi____.pfm
wmb_____.afm
wmb_____.inf
wmb_____.pfb
wmb_____.pfm
wmi_____.afm
wmi_____.inf
wmi_____.pfb
wmi_____.pfm
wmr_____.afm
wmr_____.inf
wmr_____.pfb
wmr_____.pfm

If you would like to recieve a copy of these files, please do not hesitate to eMail me @ Stoned4Life[at]gmail[dot]com.

P.S. The files are what fixed my problem, but I cannot gurantee anything as to what may result from you useing them. Also, if this is in some way, shape, or form, against Adobe policy, F*** YOU! Fix the problem yourself next time Adobe.

I just opened my NEW CS2 prem and installed it and cannot open ID...I am getting the same...
I called adobe for help! did not get problem resolved!!!!! THANKS! not!

You would think for $1200.00 it would work.... typical adobe

I CANNOT fix this issue. No matter how many times I uninstall, install, reinstall, in any order, I just can't get it done. I've even tried, not sure why this would help, but have done the same in combination with quicktime. The solutions they offer just aren't working for me, and I'd appreciate any help.

Someone offered the idea of copying from another PC the missing files. I don't have this installed on another PC. Is there a way I could download the files separately?

I have this very problem too :(

Is it possible to contact Adobe directly about this? Their "fixes" don't work, and I'm left here with a piece of software costing hundreds of pounds which won't even open. As you may imagine, I'm not best pleased...

Tony.

PS Thank you nonetheless to all those kind folks who have offered their assistance thus far.
