There are just three workarounds that I know (the second and third are permanent solutions, but there is a price):ġ) Uninstall conflicting OpenType fonts when you need Type 1 versions of Helvetica, Times or Courier in your job and use Safari or Firefox while having OpenType versions uninstalled to be able to show sites that use these fonts. Helvetica Medium and Times Roman under the Type 1 families). Adobe InDesigner (tested with CS 4, CS5 and CS 5.5) does not list certain styles belonging to Times and Helvetica families at all, if you haveĮven just plain styles of these fonts installed as both OpenType and Type 1 versions (it correctly displays TT and T1 appended to conflicting family names, but fails to list e.g. If you install OpenType versions of these fonts with exactly same names (as you need to, to have the browser find the fonts it can render), a name conflictįollows, which is not a problem for Internet Explorer 9, but it is for your page layout program. E.g. So, you need to have Type 1 versions of Helvetica, Times and Courier installed, at least occasionally. (with new jobs you can naturally choose the OpenType versions, but you need the Type1 versions when opening and editing old jobs that use Type 1 fonts, to avoid reflowing of the text). You cannot replace them with OpenType fonts (Adobe's Helvetica LT Std, etc.), as they have different metrics from the Type 1 version fonts The problem for graphic designer is that Helvetica (AT1) and other basic Type 1 versions must be installed anyway. I have now tested several different methods, including change of registry settings in FontSubstitutes section, as advised above, but have not been able to reach a satisfactory solution. If you insist on having 'real-life' examples, go visit Wall Street Journal, GeoTrust, Having any other browser than IE9, no problems whatsoever, and both the page and all installed fonts get rendered. Specifying an installed Type 1 other than Helvetica, Times or Courier: the page gets rendered but with the default font, not with the font specified. Not having them installed (as obviously was the case with the IE9 developer team and all beta testers), no problem, as Arial, Times New Roman But reverse the font definitions as follows:įont-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif įont-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif įont-family: Courier, 'Courier New', monospace Īnd then have Helvetica, Times or Courier (Adobe Type 1 fonts) installed on your system, and you get garbage. See below for a code example, if required.įont-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif įont-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif įont-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace Any Windows OS where IE 9 runs (Vista 32/64, Win 7 32/64). This is a developer site, so I figured you might be able to test this yourself.
