When Prinergy processes a job and detects that fonts are missing, it
automatically looks in the following places, in the following order:
1. The location specified in the font search path for the job
2. The
<Job Folder>\Fonts
folder (for fonts converted for a
specific job)
3. The
%AraxiHome%\CreoAraxi\Data\Fonts
folder (for fonts
converted for all jobs)
When the fonts you want to use for the job are located in two or more
folders, you must add a search path for each folder that you want
Prinergy to search, and specify the order in which you want Prinergy to
search the folders.
Missing or non-embedded fonts can be embedded into the PDF during
the refining process. The font locations which the refiner uses for
embedding are:
●
Normalizer fonts:
%AraxiHome%\AdobeExtreme\bin\fonts
●
Global font converter fonts:
%AraxiHome%\CreoAraxi\data
\fonts
●
Job font converter fonts:
<Job Folder>\Fonts
Notes: The 14 base fonts are automatically embedded during refining. Therefore,
the Prinergy normalize function will not detect missing 14 base fonts in a PDF file.
To avoid this, customers can either:
●
Clear the
Ignore the 14 base fonts
check box in the Preflight Profile Editor.
●
Move the Normalizer fonts (except for Courier) out of the
%AraxiHome%
\AdobeExtreme\bin\fonts
folder. This prohibits the normalize function
from embedding missing fonts, and causes the normalize function to fail even
for the missing 14 base fonts.
OpenType fonts
The Font Converter does not support OpenType fonts.
If your input files contain OpenType fonts that are not embedded in the
file, add the location of the OpenType fonts to the font search path.
This is likely a rare scenario, since software capable of handling
OpenType fonts is also able to embed them.
Although the Font Converter cannot convert OpenType fonts, most
native applications, for example Adobe Creative Suite 3, convert
OpenType fonts to PostScript Type 1 (which the Font Converter
supports) when embedding fonts. You can also include embedded
OpenType fonts when exporting a PDF file from Macromedia
FreeHand. As OpenType fonts gain popularity, more software will start
supporting embedded OpenType fonts in exported PDF files.
