  Impossible fonts to be found / Fontes impossíveis de achar

  Posted by Kelve Freitas on July 15, 2020 at 12:57 am

  I opened a PDF on illustrator and saw that I don’t have the fonts present in the pdf, and I can’t even find them on Google. I really need them to save me a lot of work (putting all the texts in font I own).

  The names are CIDFont + F1 to CIDFont + F5 (ie it has f2, f3 and f4).

  Eu abri um PDF no illustrator e vi que eu não tenho as fontes presentes no pdf, e ainda eu não consigo sequer achar elas de jeito nenhum no Google. Preciso muito delas para me poupar um grande trabalho (o de colocar todos os textos em fontes que eu possua).

  Os nomes são CIDFont+F1 até CIDFont+F5 (ou seja tem o f2, f3 e f4).

  Hi Kelve,

  Late reply but maybe helpful for future projects.

  CIDFont is not a real font, but a substitute created by the software that exported the PDF. The software probably had some issues embedding the original font, and created a CIDFont instead.
  I believe the F1 to F5 define the weight of the font.

  If you do not need to do any text corrections you might consider te following:
  Instead of opening your file in Illustrator directly, import the file in a new Illustrator document. Then use the Transparency Flattener to create outlines of the text. This way there is no need to find the correct fonts. However, you cannot edit text (unless you like to try some copy/pasting characters manually) ?

  Hope this helps
  Tom
