In any event, we gave the corrupted Helvetic.ttf file the boot and installed a brand new version, crossing our fingers because before when we had attempted to replace the old Arial PostScript files with the newer/real ones (something that we couldnt do consistently, for unknown reasons) replacing the fonts caused massive problems with a lot of text in a lot of tables. This time, instead of packaging the Arial.ttf files and then choking for one or both of us, InDesign bundled the Helvetic.ttf file and everything still worked OK on both computers. Then I packaged the test files, trying to recreate the same situation as the original documents that, once out of my computer, returned font errors. Sure enough, no font problems for myself or my coworker. I did some testing once I discovered the discrepancy, making new files with these Arial imposters. The only way to see that they were being generated NOT by the Arial.ttf file(s), but in actuality the Helvetic.ttf file, was in the path information in Find Font. These Arial PostScript imposters were being displayed under ∺rial in InDesign both in the font list and in Find Font. Some documents were originally created by myself by copying/pasting PageMaker text and graphics, others were just brand new documents with brand new text and graphics.Ĭome to find out, we had a corrupted Helvetica.ttf font on both our computers that somehow got itself associated with outdated Arial PostScript info. They were not, the font files were right where they always had been and were even packaged with each document. Here's where we stood: All InDesign documents my coworker and I attempted to open that contained Arial fonts (regular, italic, bold, bold italic) came up with an error message that these fonts were missing. To make a long story short, THIS was the cause of my problem. It seems like when InDesign generates its font list and the Find Font dialogue box, it gets its information on what fonts are available from PostScript files, not necessarily the fonts themselves.

Read this post from a different thread and then my post #11 above: Silly me? (i cant just change the document designs - corporate standards use arial narrow. Does rebooting refresh them? i did that with no luck.ĭeleting hundreds of fonts and reinstalling programs is not my first choice of game plan i'm on a tight deadline and don't have time to experiment, was hoping to find a reliable solution that was relatively quick and painless.
#Reinstall arial font windows#
Someone suggested deleting the Windows cache files - i would try that but i don't know where they are.

I still don't get Arial Narrow showing up independently on the font list, even after rebooting. the fonts at the office were older versions, so i deleted the new ones and installed the old ones from the office, and they show up with the TT icon. I noticed that all the arial fonts on my home machine list with the Open type icon even tho they have ttf extensions. This is a pain because I telework so much and keep getting missing font alarms that I can't resolve at home.) (At the office I have Windows 2000 and the fonts show up fine with the CS2 suite. As others have noted, all is well with the MS Office suite and other programs, so this is definitely a CS2/3 issue with the MS XP/Vista operating systems.

#Reinstall arial font pro#
However, I am running XP (Home version, had the same trouble with Pro version, both with SP2), not Vista, so this is not exclusively a Vista problem. Hi, i'm having the same trouble (with InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Photoshop CS2) of Arial Narrow embedding itself in the Arial font list with no way to access Arial Narrow Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic.
