Thanks.I’ve noticed a lot of designers putting text into Quark via the clipboard (copy and paste), but you really want to be using the File>Import Text command, as it allows you to import MS Word styles into Quark. If I've missed the mark on this, please get back to us with additional detail of the problem. Note: when you are ready to move over to Jaguar, be sure that you don't use any version of ATM - it's not compatible. In your Appearance Control Panel -> Fonts, you have the option to select "smooth all fonts on screen." Experiment with these two settings to see what works best for you. And be sure that you have selected "smooth edges on screen" in ATM. If this is an aliasing issue, first, be sure that you are using ATM Light or Deluxe 4.6.1 or 4.6.2 - nothing earlier. You don't give too much information about "fonts not working" in other apps. You have to completely refresh the screen in order to see smooth, antialiasing as necessary intermediate color values between the background and text color are temporarily lost. QuarkXPress does not redraw fonts onscreen properly when you edit in a text box. No font issues that I can attribute to these Macs or OS or ATM Deluxe. I (and many others) successfully run new G4s under 9.2.2. This is most likely NOT a Mac hardware problem (although there is a remote possibility that there is a faulty video card). Please tell us more about your system environment so we can try to narrow this down for you. But I can't say if this is something on my computers, or if it is a fluke with XPress. I use QuarkXPress daily (and Adobe still lets me into the forums as a Forum Host ), and this has happened to me a couple of times. The "cure" for me has been to "select all" and "copy" the entire document's elements to the clipboard, create a new blank document and page-by-page, paste the elements into the new document. From time to time, an XPress document that has been cloned a number of times (for, say, updating or for different versions) may start suffering from some forms of corruption, including fonts that display correctly, but print as Courier. Can't comment on your printers, as you haven't told us anything about them.Īlso, a couple of things I noticed about QuarkXPress (using v4.11, ATM Deluxe 4.6.2, MacOS 9.2.2, LaserWriter 8.3.x, HP LaserJet PostScript and PostScript-clone printers). Also, be sure to be using ATM or ATM Deluxe 4.6.1 or later (if running under MacOS 9.x). I also suggest (FWIW) updating to QuarkXPress 4.11. Or request a new download in case of corruption. I'd first suggest a reinstallation of the offending Bembo, by the book, from the original Adobe media/download. That aside, it sounds like some form of corruption. I don't know if there is any relationship here to your specific problem. On Macs, I've composed emails with bullets, and have seen them turn into Yen symbols if they're not translated properly by the email client - but from what I recall, this happens primarily if the Mac-composed email is opened on a Windows-based machine. So it's just Bembo Regular and Bembo SC that seem to have the problem. The really strange thing is that I can change to any other font I want to, and all of the problems disappear. And curly quotes disappear entirely, leaving the "blank character box." Other minor characters screw up, too, but these are giving me the biggest fits. Basically, several of the minor characters are messed up.īullets (option-8) turn into capital Ys with horizontal slashes through them. At any other magnification other than 100%, the on-screen errors match the printed errors. It looks and prints fine in Word or any other application, but when I copy it into Quark, that's where the fun begins.Īt 100% magnification, everything looks fine, but it never prints fine. The font is Bembo, which I bought recently from the online store. I hope I don't get shot for posting this here, and I'd be using InDesign if my publisher allowed it, but I'm having fits with an Adobe font in Quark XPress 4.1.
