Hello, does anyone have a solution for using "MathType" with Indesign,
I have big font problem in formulas, sometimes the character disappears PDF creation or when we ask for a "Display of superior quality."

My idea is that information is too basic in import in InDesign and can not read and insert adéquoite police.

Bonjour, quelqu'un a-t-il une solution pour utilise "MathType" avec Indesign,

J'ai de gros problème de police dans les formules, quelque fois des caractère disparaisse à la création de PDF ou quand nous demandons un "Affichage de qualité supérieur".

Mon Idée est que les information sont trop basique dans  dans les import et que indesign ne parvient pas à interprété et à insère la police adéquoite.

    Be sure you're following the instructions on our instruction page for using MathType with InDesign: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/works_with.asp#!target=indesign

    You've left out a critical part of the picture, and that is how you're getting the equations from MathType into InDesign. One thing that may have a bearing on this issue is that I recently learned that when you start with a Word+MathType document and place it into InDesign, the MathType equations are converted into EPS with WMF preview (if you're on Windows). If you convert the problem equations to EPS/none, many if not all of the problems go away -- at least they did in the document I was working with.

    If you'd like to provide a sample document, either by attaching it here or sending a link to a cloud folder, I'll take a look. If you're going from Word to ID, send the Word document as well as the .indd document.

    Your issue is related to font problem, different version of  "symbol" font make the issues. To come across this issues, I would recommend you to use "Eculid Family" which was supplied by the "MathType". Font will there in the "MathType folder". Create a MathType preference with "Eculid Symbol" instead of "symbol". Shaji

    Thanks, but this I know, it's been answered long ago.
    I referred to a javascript to reimport the equations in InDesign, in place of the file names.

    But that's ok now, I modified the one I had and it works fine for the moment on CS6.

    Wow. Fantastico!  Thanks very much.  We've been copying from Word and pasting into InDesign. We'll look into seeing about changing the setting to 'EPS/none'.

    Thank you, Bob!!
