Let’s say you were stupid and deleted your .db files. Is there an easy way to get them back without reinstalling Adobe Illustrator?

I have a problem with Hindi Fonts, one of the characters of the font gets corrupted, probably when used in MS word. After it happens, this character gets replaced by another one in all programs I am using Like Pagemaker, QuarkExp., CoralDraw etc. except Word pad. Please let me know through email , why it is happening and what is the cure.

It will be a great help.

@Garry: That is generally due to the font activation plug-ins from the font management software developer. CS5.5 requires different plug-ins than CS5. However, these things are notoriously fickle. Here’s my take on font-activation: http://indesignsecrets.com/whats-the-deal-on-font-auto-activation.php

When I open an existing InDesign document in CS5.5 the fonts do not automatically open like they did in CS5. Why?
I use Suitcase Fusion 3 with the latest updates.

Thank you so much for your reply Mike! It turned out it was the Output setting “Text As Black” You have saved the day

Sarah-

Some of the documents or some of the fonts?

If it’s document wide, they may have been printed with the setting Text as Black in the Output tab of the print dialog. Print settings are sticky so this will stay on until someone prints with it off.

If it’s only certain instances of text within a document, it could be overprinting (check your overprint preview) or some weird color conversion settings, but those are just guesses.

I am using InDesign CS4 & I can’t seem to figure out what is going on with my text. I have several documents created with fonts in various colors, but when I print, only some of them turn to black. (should be dark brown, blue & white) Any suggestions?

Using CS4 Indesign and cannot get the ITC Garamon bold to show on the menu. There was a talk about it in the post and I would like to know how to fix the problem. I used FontNuke but to no avail. Thanks
