Problem with the Non-English Characters

Hello,

Sorry for bringing up an old topic but I'm going  to be more spesific this time.

As you can see the glyhps that I need is already added to the font structure and every time I need a font I have to add those glyphs one by one. I dont want to do it for every font that want to use. I want a shortcut to do them all.

We too have purchased Dax Pro to enable Polish Glyphs in Adobe Flash to render and although the font appears to contain the glyphs and renders them in other applications. They do not however show when used in adobe flash swf's. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your effort,

Yes I'm in need of turkish character support. Like Thomas said, I have no problems with PRO fonts. All I do have problem with the Standart fonts, which I use at work. they have bought Font Folio already, I guess they wont be buying any more fonts if I request. Also of course I'm not distributing or over-writing any of the fonts that I have edited. It's like runing another designers poster with finger-paint. Anyway, I'll try not to use std fonts then.

Thank you all for your help.

choose a different font

heh, this was the LAST thing that I would like to hear for sure

I'm told that this is the exact difference between Adobe's Standard and Pro fonts - the Pro fonts have additional glyphs, including those necessary for extended Latin script. Standard fonts just have the basic English character set, with maybe a bit of help for Spanish and French.

You're doing Turkish, right? Adobe's coverage for Turkish in its fonts is not great - some of the Pro fonts have Turkish coverage, many do not. If you want your work to remain accessible to people who are not you in the future, then editing fonts to have extra special characters is a horrible idea. At the very least, rename the edited versions and leave creator info in the font. If it's all for your own work, it's just barely okay. I work in a translation firm - getting a document in someone else's homemade edited font called "Helvetica" is a huge hassle.

In short, before you buy a font, you need to check for the glyph coverage you need. You didn't do that, and most of the fonts in the Adobe Font Folio do not have Turkish coverage.

korhanes,

I don’t think there is any hidden secret behind the Font Folio font collection. If a font is available with an extended glyph set it is great. If it is not available, there are a couple of options (in no special order):

* choose a different font

* look at major font shops if another publisher has a similar font with the required glyph set

* wait until the font vendor publishes an updated version

* add the glyphs to your licensed fonts for your private use

None of those are what you wanted to hear, but as far as I know there are no "hidden" Pro versions which Adobe is not shipping.

The bigger interest in non-Western Latin and  Cyrilllic glyphs started about 20 years ago, after the fall of the Iron Curtain and some years later the inclusion of Eastern European countries into the European Union. One would think this was time enough to enhance all popular fonts to that extended glyph set, but, well, ...
