    I need to replace Arial font with a different font file for a specific application. Is...


    Subject says it all ... I have a specific app (a karaoke player) which is hardcoded to use Arial. I need to replace this with a different font supporting one of the legacy ways of mapping diacritic characters to ASCII. Anyway, the app doesn't allow to choose a font.

    I've experimented with font substitution in the registry but I didn't get very far. And anyway I'd like to avoid mangling the Arial font system-wide.

    I'd love a launcher which would run the app and transparently substitute arial.ttf to somethingelse.ttf.

    Is there any such thing? Googling gave me nothing.

    Thanks!

    Arial Font

    Hi Sujata, the issue is with Edge and other programs, like Corel, but in Office the font appears well.

    I already installed the pending updates and restart, but the issue continue. The problem is not with the font size, is with the kind of font, specifically Arial Font.

    Thanks

    Helvetica font not Swapping to Arial font on Windows 10 & Windows 7

    Hi,

    We are experiencing issue related to the way Windows handle Helvetica font when it is being used in the external files received. When we receive a Indesign file having Helvetica font it gets Swapped to the Arial font automatically on some workstations when
    we export the PDF file but on some workstations it did not.

    We checked the settings of both workstations on which font swapping happen and where it did not, but we did not observe any difference. Also, we checked the Windows Registry entry at,

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\

    We did not observed any difference on both workstations and the Helvetica was mapped to Arial.

    Can you please suggest that how to make the default substitution for ‘Helvetica’ font to be ‘Arial’ font windows. Please suggest the setting which will help us to auto substitute missing Helvetica Font with Arial front while exporting PDF from Indesign file.

    We are using Windows 7 & Windows 10 machines.

    Adobe InDesign version is CS5.5

    Please let me know if any further details are required.

    Regards,

    Shashank
