type problem

this week is my week of type nightmares.
I have the font (yes typo, it's legitimate) Reykyavik One - for some stupid reason the lightest weight (A Guage) shows up bitmapped in Quark, and does not show at all in Illustrator, though it previews fine in fontexplorer.
A Guage regular does not preview in suitcase but A Guage italic does, and works in illustrator.
what in the fucking shitty fucking hell is going on and how do I fix it.
Psyops are of no help.

are they type I fonts?

sounds like a poorly produced set of font files... is it coming from a respectable foundry? did you buy it?

PsyOps is indeed respectable, and usually quite helpful. Was their reply uninformative or did they not reply at all?

have you installed the font as an administrator, and you're now logged in as a regular user? or various parts of the font were installed in your computer's fonts folder, but other parts were installed in your user fonts folder? sometimes it's a permissions issue on OSX.

just no reply as yet, I didn't install the font but I dont think it's permissions as it shows up in fontexplorer, it's just bitmapped

if it's type 1, there are 2 parts, screen files and printer files. one or the other may be corrupt.

(Jul 12 06, 12:17)it could show up bitmapped because you have permissions to use the screen version, but not the printer outlines file. again, only a type 1 thing.

here's a really weird one, while we're at it--I bought Miller display light, and in Flash there are no spaces between words, but in other applications it's fine!

acescence yes I'm sure you are right, it's a type 1 font, the bits are there but I guess the printer outlines are corrupt.

Rand - try clearing your font caches.
