ReminderVDP Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 When I go to Compose a file in Producer, all the fonts show up as Helvetica on the output PDF. The Embed Fonts box is checked on the output tab and we have loaded the fonts on the server with FontLoader. Any suggestions would help. Can we manually add the fonts we need to a folder on the server? If so, where should it be located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 What does the log file for the composition say about the fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 When it composes, I get this error: Collect finished with possible errors. Please check the log file in </private/var/folders/Vs/VsrIblroF6eiTqpndHxhlE+++TI/-Tmp-/TemporaryItems/FusionPro_collect.msg>. And I can't view the Log. I'm posting the .msg file that I changed to a .txt file so I could look at it. The file came from the FPDirect/Submitted/1361478261 folder.FusionPro_collect.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, it says what the problem is in the file you posted: Files not copied because they are missing: 1 PSRT_STAMP_BLANK.tif But that's not the composition log file, it's the collect log file. To see the composition log, click the "View Log" button in the FP Direct Monitor app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 When I click that in the Direct Monitor, it opens in the browser and times out so I've never actually seen what the log looks like for a file I compose. Could that be a port issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be a port issue? If you can view the output, you should be able to view the log file too. Just change the last bit of the URL in the browser from ".pdf" to ".msg". If that still doesn't work, you can manually locate the composition folder in a subfolder of the Working Directory for FP Direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Figured out the Log issue. It was an accidental space being added in the file name. It says that the missing fonts aren't loaded. Does that need to be done on the server side? I have loaded all fonts on my desk top version and they appear correctly. We have also run the fontloader.exe command and they still aren't loading. Any other way the fonts can be loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other way the fonts can be loaded? The fonts should be collected up with the job in Assets.dat. Are these fonts you're using directly in the Variable Text Editor in the template? Or are they fonts you're calling out with markup tags in rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReminderVDP Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are fonts used in the Text Editor. Do I need to move the Assets.dat folder somewhere else on the server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you shouldn't need to move anything. The Assets.dat is collected up with the rest of the job. I recommend sending the collected job to Support, as it's hard to diagnose font issues in the context of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
