- "My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are."
- ―Newt (from Aliens)
Rebecca Jorden, known to most people as "Newt", was the sole survivor from the Hadley's Hope settlement on Acheron following a Xenomorph infestation at the colony. She was the daughter of Russ and Anne Jorden and sister to Timmy Jorden. The United States Colonial Marine Corps unit which was dispatched to the moon in 2179 discovered her hiding in the colony's ventilation system. She subsequently became close to Ellen Ripley, who later risked her own life to rescue Newt from the Xenomorph Hive.
Newt was one of four people to survive the infestation on LV-426, along with Ripley, Corporal Hicks and the android Lance Bishop, who was badly damaged. She later died when an EEV carrying her crashed on Fiorina "Fury" 161.
Early life
Newt was born on March 15, 2173 in the colony Hadley's Hope on Acheron[1] to Russ and Anne Jorden. She was the couple's second child, after her older brother Timmy, and was the first child to be born at the colony. As such, her birth was the cause of much celebration amongst the Hadley's Hope inhabitants.[5] As a child, Newt enjoyed playing in the ventilation ducts with her brother and the other kids at the colony, despite their mother's threats to "tan their hides" if they did it again.[6]
Living a nightmare
- "Newt, I love you very much and I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
- ―Anne Jorden, to Newt (from Aliens: Newt's Tale)
In 2179, Newt's parents were sent to survey a previously unexplored area of the moon's surface, acting on information received from Carter Burke. Newt and her brother went along with their parents for the trip. At the given coordinates, they stumbled across a derelict spacecraft, and Russ and Anne immediately went inside in search of potential salvage that they might lay claim to, leaving Newt and her brother Timothy outside in their Daihotai Tractor. Unbeknownst to the Jorden family, the derelict ship was the same one discovered by the crew of the ill-fated USCSS Nostromo some 57 years previously, and the unprepared prospectors soon stumbled across its cargo of Xenomorph Eggs. After some time alone with her brother, Newt's mother returned, and as she desperately attempted to contact the colony on the radio, Newt noticed her father's body outside with a Facehugger attached to his face.
24 hours later, Newt and her brother Timmy were taken by Timmy's friend Aaron to a spot in the Hadley's Hope ventilation ducts where they could see their father in the medical facility to which he had been quarantined. As they watched in secret, they witnessed Russ' death from the Chestburster inside him.[7]
Later, with the Xenomorphs kidnapping colonists and multiplying in number, Newt and her remaining family were moved to the sub-levels of the complex where several survivors took up refuge in a storeroom.[7] Despite attempts to fortify the room, the Xenomorphs eventually breached it and Newt's mother and brother were killed, while Newt herself barely managed to escape through a vent.[7] While the Xenomorphs continued to attack the colony and take away the few remaining survivors, Newt managed to stay undetected by hiding in the extensive ventilation system, building a den near the operations center.[2]
Survival and rescue
- "We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly."
- ―Newt, regarding the Aliens (from Aliens)
When a team of Colonial Marines aboard the USS Sulaco arrived at the colony to investigate, they quickly detected Newt on their motion trackers. After Private Drake almost accidentally shot her, Ellen Ripley pursued Newt into the ventilation system and eventually calmed her down. She was later given a check-up by the squad's Hospital Corpsman, Corporal Dietrich, who found Newt was malnourished but otherwise physically fine. The young girl was initially mute, but eventually began talking to Ripley, telling her her name.
When the Marines moved to the colony's Atmosphere Processing Plant in search of the other colonists, Newt and Ripley went with them in their APC. After the creatures ambushed the Marines inside the Hive, Newt and the survivors escaped the area and planned to evacuate, but their dropship was destroyed by Xenomorphs and its crew killed, stranding them on the moon. In the aftermath of the crash, Newt told the survivors that the creatures "mostly" came out at night, and that they should return to the relative safety of the operations building.
Captured and freed
Despite only being a child, Newt assisted the Marines in fortifying the administration building where she could, helping them carry equipment and move supplies. As the survivors bunkered down to wait until Bishop could remotely pilot a second dropship from the Sulaco to the surface, Ripley and Newt slept in the colony's medical facility. While they were sleeping, Burke freed two live Facehuggers being stored in the med lab, intending for them to impregnate Ripley and Newt and thereby obtain Xenomorph specimens for Weyland-Yutani. While the two were trapped in the room with the creatures, Ripley used her lighter to set off the fire alarm to get the Marines' attention. The Marines arrived and took care of the Facehuggers.
Before Burke could be dealt with for his treachery, the Xenomorphs attacked and overran the operations center. Newt led Ripley and Corporal Hicks, the last surviving Marine, out through the ventilation ducts but was knocked down a shaft into the colony's sewers by an explosion. While Ripley and Hicks attempted to find and rescue her, they arrived too late and Newt was taken back to the Hive.
Newt woke up cocooned inside the Atmosphere Processor. Almost immediately the Egg placed in front of her opened, but as the Facehugger within attempted to pounce it was shot to pieces by Ripley, who had come to save Newt and was drawn by her screams. After freeing Newt from her cocoon, the two were cut off by an explosion and inadvertently strayed into the Queen's chamber. Surrounded, Ripley threatened to incinerate the Queen's Eggs, and in response the Queen called off her Warriors. However, when an Egg began to hatch Ripley set the entire chamber alight and left several grenades to kill the Queen before escaping with Newt.
The Queen survived and set off in pursuit, following Ripley and Newt all the way to the landing platform near the top of the Atmosphere Processor. At the last moment they were rescued by Bishop in the second dropship, escaping just before the Atmosphere Processor exploded and destroyed the colony.
Aboard the Sulaco
- "Get away from her, you BITCH!"
- ―Ripley, to the First Acheron Queen
Upon landing back aboard the Sulaco, the Queen revealed herself to have stowed away in the dropship's landing gear, and after tearing Bishop in two she set upon Newt, who attempted to hide beneath the floor grating in the Sulaco's hangar bay. The Queen eventually cornered Newt, but was fought off by Ripley in a Power Loader and ultimately ejected into space to her death. With the Queen dead, the survivors — Newt, Ripley, a wounded Hicks and the damaged Bishop — entered hypersleep for the trip home.
Although Newt survived the events on Acheron, her hypersleep chamber was later breached by acidic blood from a Facehugger that had stowed away on the Sulaco. A firefight in the cryo chamber between Hicks and several Weyland-Yutani PMCs subsequently started an electrical fire when the Facehugger, now attached to Ripley, was hit by stray gunfire, and as a result of the electrical fire, all four occupied cryotubes were ejected in a Type 337 EEV. Damage caused during the launch resulted in the EEV crash-landing in an ocean on Fiorina "Fury" 161 near the Fiorina 161 Class C Work Correctional Unit; Newt's breached cryo-chamber flooded and she drowned in her sleep.
After her body was recovered, Ripley suspected that Newt may have been carrying a Chestburster and asked the prison colony's resident doctor, Jonathan Clemens, to perform an autopsy, claiming Newt may have had cholera. Clemens, although skeptical, carried out the procedure and found nothing unnatural inside the body, much to Ripley's relief. Newt was later cremated on Fiorina 161, along with the body of Turk (whose corpse was mistaken for Hicks').
Personality and Traits
Even before the harrowing events on LV-426, Newt was a quiet and restrained girl.[6] Despite her shy nature, she had a good relationship with her parents and was close to her brother, who was the only person who called her by her real name. Newt often joined her brother and his friends in playing in the colony's ventilation shafts, a game at which she would teasingly claim to be the best because she could fit into areas the larger boys could not.[6]
Following the destruction of the colony by Xenomorphs, Newt showed great resourcefulness in hiding in the vents she knew so well from playing with the other children. She collected basic food and bedding to help her survive alone until help arrived, her only companionship being her favorite doll, Casey, reduced to just a dismembered head by this point. When help did arrive, she quickly developed a strong bond with Ellen Ripley, eventually entering a surrogate mother/daughter relationship with her, both of them having lost their respective families.[6] Despite her young age, Newt showed courage and maturity above even some of the hardened Marines sent to Hadley's Hope, staying calm when several of the military personnel around her were cracking up and never failing to give what limited assistance she could offer. Of all the Marines, Newt became closest to Hicks, who was the only one to really accept Newt into the group, treating her more as an equal than an abandoned child and showing respect for her survival.
Behind the Scenes
Original comic book appearances
Following Aliens, the character of Newt went on to appear in a series of comic books published from 1988-1990 by Dark Horse Comics that continued her story after the film, along with Dwayne Hicks. In these comics, Hicks and Newt travel to the Xenomorph home world in order to combat an infestation that has taken over the entire Earth, before again teaming up with Ripley to destroy the Aliens.
However, following the release of Alien3 in 1992, in which Newt perished, the character's name in these stories was altered to Billie — this change first appeared in the novel Aliens: Earth Hive, an adaptation of the comic series Aliens: Outbreak released several months after Alien3. Similarly, Hicks became David Wilks, while Ellen Ripley became a synthetic version of herself. Subsequent reprints of the early comics have also used these altered names, thereby keeping the stories congruous with the film franchise. Despite these changes, the characters' back stories were not altered (beyond the names of people and places), and so Newt and Billie both share remarkably similar experiences — both were the sole surviving inhabitants of a colony overrun by the Xenomorphs, and both were rescued as part of a disastrous Colonial Marine mission to the planet.
- For many of the scenes where Ripley carries Newt around the Hive in Aliens, a simple lightweight dummy was used; as the audience only ever sees the back of the Newt's head, it did not need to be an accurate double.[8]
- The comic book Aliens: Newt's Tale is told entirely from Newt's point of view.
- In the Aliens arcade game from Konami, Newt is a minor non-playable character. In the first level, she can be seen crawling out of the air ducts and walking away as Ripley or Hicks fights the Aliens. Two driving segments also involve driving to rescue Newt. The first driving segment will end with a winged Alien taking her away while trying to reach the player.
- In the video game Aliens: Colonial Marines, Newt can be heard in an audio message recorded by her mother, Anne, found in the ruins of Hadley's Hope. Newt is also heard in an audio log found aboard the Sulaco in the expansion pack Stasis Interrupted, in a message she records for Hicks while he is on the radio trying to contact Earth.

Great journeys begin with small steps and the Mets took on this day in 1969 when Ed Kranepool homered twice to back Tom Seaver to a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
It was the Mets' sixth straight victory and it gave them a 24-23 record to pull them over .500 at the latest point in the season in club history.
I grew up in Cleveland, but had family in New York that we visited every summer. This was about the time I started paying attention to the Mets watching them on Channel 9.
I used to love watching Ralph, Murph and Lindsey Nelson.
The TV coverage of the Indians at the time was horrible, but these guys made it fun to watch the games, and when they started winning it was even better.

Lawyers for terrorist suspect try to blame government
There's no dispute that a 19-year-old Muslim college student tried to set off a car bomb at Portland's 2010 Christmas tree lighting ceremony, but how he reached that point is the crux of a trial that began in federal court this week.
A jury of seven men and nine women will decide whether this was a case of the U.S. government preventing the radicalization of a young Somali-American man, or was instead the FBI's coercion of an impressionable, hotheaded braggart into a plan he was otherwise incapable of carrying out.
Mohamed Mohamud's attorneys began to build their case during opening statements Friday, arguing that he was the victim of a sophisticated manipulation by undercover FBI agents.
"In America, we don't create crime," defense attorney Steve Sady said. "The FBI cannot create the very crime they intend to stop. And sometimes, it's just a matter of going too far."
Sady said Mohamud was an impressionable college student who talked big about carrying out terrorism plots but had neither the means nor the experience to follow through.
That changed, Sady said, when undercover FBI agents posing as jihadist co-conspirators provided Mohamud with a fake bomb in November 2010.
Prosecuting attorney Pam Holsinger said Mohamud was on the path to radicalization, and it was only the FBI's intervention that prevented him from committing terrorism in the U.S. or abroad.
Holsinger pointed to a picture of the estimated 25,000 people at the Christmas tree-lighting event.
"Little did they know that the defendant plotted and schemed for months to kill each and every one of them with a massive truck bomb," Holsinger said.
Given multiple chances to reconsider, Mohamud refused, Holsinger said, intent instead on being a soldier in a religious and cultural war with the West.
Even prominent radical Islamic contacts in the Middle East, including the American-born Samir Khan, had to admonish Mohamud against being too violent, Holsinger said.
"Even (Khan) had to tone down the radical and violent message," Holsinger said.
Through 1 1/2 days of jury selection, U.S. District Judge Garr King made his way through a significant portion of the 85-person pool of prospective jurors, several of whom said they had reservations about the FBI's counterterrorism strategy after 9/11, including its sting operations.
It's no surprise in Portland, a city that has a long and uneasy relationship with federal law enforcement. The erroneous prosecution of a Muslim attorney on terrorism charges, the city's withdrawal from an information-sharing task force with the FBI, and the overseas interrogations of two Portland Muslim men have all contributed to a fractious climate.
Sady warned jurors that they would see and hear Mohamud expressing views about the West that they may find "offensive or disgusting," but urged them to put aside their emotions and decide the case based on the law.
Holsinger made reference to some of Mohamud's radical writing and statements he made to undercover agents. Some of what he published online for an English-language al-Qaida publication will be shown to the jury, she said, and he was writing for the publication in February 2009, long before the FBI contacted him.
Dates are critical to the dueling narratives presented by the prosecution and defense. Prosecutors told jurors to focus on Nov. 26, 2010, the day Mohamud is accused of punching numbers into a black Nokia cell phone that he thought would set off a 1,800-pound bomb.
The defense says the crucial date is more than a year earlier: Nov. 9, 2009, the day Mohamud was first contacted by an informant directed by the FBI to feel out his intentions.
Before that day, Sady said, Mohamud wasn't predisposed to terrorism. He was simply an angry, conservative Muslim trying to pull off a double life as a gin-drinking, marijuana-smoking college freshman.
"The FBI agent wrote that in an email," Sady said. "This was an (easily manipulated), impressionable kid."
The trial continues Monday with evidence from the prosecution.

I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if you could give some details on this strategy.
Great stuff Irage - I don't know the first thing about college football - so i'll be following.
What was your record last year?
I killed in MLB. From about mid-May to the end of July I made 35k, with my inital 5k investment. I have a strategy to use for next year and I don't killed on the juice.
I don't remember if I have the stats for last year. I think I kept them, but I just have to find it. I use Covers to record my success and prove they are legit.
Still horrible at NFL, so I will look to others for help there.
I have been getting SPAM from a tout called Smooth. I remember him being a good football capper, but he absolutely sucks at baseball, yet claims he had a winning season. Hard to trust someone that won't post the plays before game time, but then you can't really trust anyone that makes you pay for their picks. I would be willing to pay for picks if they were verifiably hitting above 85%. Since no one can do that, anyone who charges is a scammer.

1. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 16, 2007 6:17 AM (in response to (bilglas))I don't have Vista, but try copying the fonts (don't move them or non-Adobe apps won't see them) to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
2. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 23, 2007 10:19 AM (in response to (bilglas))I have the exact same problem. I spent 4 hours yesterday trying everything immaginable to fix this - nothing worked. Specifically, illus. can't see the Arial Narrow family. It lists Arial as the family and Narrow as a style but can't see Arial Narrow Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, etc.
Any ideas?
3. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 23, 2007 10:24 AM (in response to (bilglas))PS - Peter
Vista won't allow me to copy the font files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. I tried dragging, copy/paste, threatening gestures with a baseball bat... They just won't copy - no error message - just nothing happens.
4. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 23, 2007 10:46 AM (in response to (bilglas))I've always found saying "Please" to be more effective than baseball bats, but I'm not dealing with Vista. That is very odd.
5. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 23, 2007 11:11 AM (in response to (bilglas))Because I don't have this problem I thought maybe it's a version issue.
The four variants of Arial narrow all show up in my fonts folder as separate file, and double clicking any of them to get a sample and font data reveals that they are all OpenType with TrueType outlines (they all have the .ttf extension, if you make it show) and are version 2.3 from Monotype. As far as I know, these fonts were included with Office 2000, but I won't swear to it as they could also have been part of the Windows XP installation.
Do you have a newer or older version on your system?
6. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 23, 2007 11:14 AM (in response to (bilglas))Looking back on other threads I see this is a Vista issue, apparently, and not a CS3 issue as folks reported it with CS2 as well.
7. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 23, 2007 11:26 AM (in response to (bilglas))Hi Peter
This problem seems to be all over the boards since at least Feb.
I have a brand new machine with Vista pre-instaled. I had Illus CS2 installed on an XP machine and the fonts all show up there. I have a friend with CS3 and he has the same problem. So, actually it appears to be a CS2/3//Vista problem.
8. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 23, 2007 11:34 AM (in response to (bilglas))Did you check your font versions? I'm curious if they are the same as mine.
9. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 23, 2007 11:44 AM (in response to (bilglas))narrow, narrow bold, narrow bold italic = 2.37
narrow italic = 2.30 (copied from XP machine as one of my many fix attempts)
10. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 23, 2007 11:58 AM (in response to (bilglas))Al,
Set a restore point before you try this, and then only if you are desperate, because I have no idea what will happen since you can't seem to copy fonts.
Copy the version 2.3 fonts from your XP machine to any folder except the fonts folder. (keep in mind I don't have a Vista machine to look at).
Use Windows to uninstall the Arial Narrow fonts from the file menu in the fonts folder (and I'd REALLY try to copy them to someplace again before doing this).
Reboot, just to be sure the registry gets updated.
Use Windows to install the old versions from the folder where you copied them from XP, using the fonts folder file menu command again.
Check to see if I'm a hero.
11. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 23, 2007 3:01 PM (in response to (bilglas))Hi Peter
I fixed it!! I read on another forum that corrupted fonts might be being read as arial so I went through and deleted about 250 of the over 400 font files on my system, including the Arial Narrow family. I then installed the older Arial Narrow family from my XP machine. That didn't fix it but then I re-installed Illus. and that did it. I have no idea which were the offending fonts (if that is indeed what the problem was) but somehow it worked.
Thanks so much for your advice and interest.
12. Re: Missing FontsThomas Phinney Jun 25, 2007 4:04 PM (in response to (bilglas))If somebody else is in the same pickle, I'd suggest after replacing the fonts, you try deleting the Adobe font cache files rather than reinstalling an entire application. Alternatively, you could remove the "bad" Arial Narrow fonts, launch InDesign, and then put the good/old Arial Narrow fonts back in place.
13. Re: Missing Fonts(Gery_Rudolph) Jun 25, 2007 10:08 PM (in response to (bilglas))Hi, i'm having the same trouble (with InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Photoshop CS2) of Arial Narrow embedding itself in the Arial font list with no way to access Arial Narrow Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic. However, I am running XP (Home version, had the same trouble with Pro version, both with SP2), not Vista, so this is not exclusively a Vista problem. As others have noted, all is well with the MS Office suite and other programs, so this is definitely a CS2/3 issue with the MS XP/Vista operating systems. (At the office I have Windows 2000 and the fonts show up fine with the CS2 suite. This is a pain because I telework so much and keep getting missing font alarms that I can't resolve at home.)
I noticed that all the arial fonts on my home machine list with the Open type icon even tho they have ttf extensions. the fonts at the office were older versions, so i deleted the new ones and installed the old ones from the office, and they show up with the TT icon. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I still don't get Arial Narrow showing up independently on the font list, even after rebooting. Someone suggested deleting the Windows cache files -- i would try that but i don't know where they are. Does rebooting refresh them? i did that with no luck.
Deleting hundreds of fonts and reinstalling programs is not my first choice of game plan; i'm on a tight deadline and don't have time to experiment, was hoping to find a reliable solution that was relatively quick and painless. Silly me? (i cant just change the document designs -- corporate standards use arial narrow. don't get me going on that one.)
14. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 26, 2007 3:27 AM (in response to (bilglas))Search for and delete all Adobefnt*.lst files. Don not delete the Adobefnt.db file.
15. Re: Missing Fonts(Gery_Rudolph) Jun 26, 2007 10:53 AM (in response to (bilglas))thanks, peter. i deleted the files and rebooted. no dice.
16. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jun 26, 2007 11:04 AM (in response to (bilglas))Try temporarily deleting the Arial Narrow fonts again and the AdobeFnt*.lst files, too. Reboot, launch InDesign, and reinstall the Arial Narrow fonts.
Re-reading Thomas's post I think it might be important to regenerate the font cache file before installing the Arial Narrow.
17. Re: Missing Fonts(Al_White) Jun 27, 2007 4:36 AM (in response to (bilglas))Hey All
Read this post from a different thread and then my post #11 above:
"A little update on my specific problem which has been resolved, in the course of which I discovered some strange stuff that remains unresolved. It seems like when InDesign generates its font list and the Find Font dialogue box, it gets its information on what fonts are available from PostScript files, not necessarily the fonts themselves. To make a long story short, THIS was the cause of my problem.
Here's where we stood: All InDesign documents my coworker and I attempted to open that contained Arial fonts (regular, italic, bold, bold italic) came up with an error message that these fonts were missing. They were not, the font files were right where they always had been and were even packaged with each document. Some documents were originally created by myself by copying/pasting PageMaker text and graphics, others were just brand new documents with brand new text and graphics.
Come to find out, we had a corrupted Helvetica.ttf font on both our computers that somehow got itself associated with outdated Arial PostScript info. These Arial PostScript imposters were being displayed under Arial in InDesign both in the font list and in Find Font. The only way to see that they were being generated NOT by the Arial.ttf file(s), but in actuality the Helvetic.ttf file, was in the path information in Find Font.
I did some testing once I discovered the discrepancy, making new files with these Arial imposters. Sure enough, no font problems for myself or my coworker. Then I packaged the test files, trying to recreate the same situation as the original documents that, once out of my computer, returned font errors. This time, instead of packaging the Arial.ttf files and then choking for one or both of us, InDesign bundled the Helvetic.ttf file and everything still worked OK on both computers. Very odd.
In any event, we gave the corrupted Helvetic.ttf file the boot and installed a brand new version, crossing our fingers because before when we had attempted to replace the old Arial PostScript files with the newer/real ones (something that we couldnt do consistently, for unknown reasons) replacing the fonts caused massive problems with a lot of text in a lot of tables. This time there was no rocky transition. Once Helvetic.ttf was gone, InDesign loaded up the correct Arial PostScript files and gave us no error messages about fonts being missing. This is interesting, given that we had deleted the font that originally created all the instances of Arial in these documents, but not so interesting if InDesign is seeking out PostScript data, not actual font file names, when it decides what fonts are available for use.
I still do no know how the Helvetica file could have been corrupted to return this particular result or why the problem was able to jump from one computer to another when no files were exchanged at any time this was the real horror, files that no one but myself had ever touched and were nowhere else but my computer were suddenly reporting missing fonts.
Kudos must go to two programs, Font Xplorer, which tipped me off to multiple versions of font PostScript files hanging around, and Font Doctor, which identified the Helvetica font as corrupted. InDesign was a help in that it was the only program which displayed both the PostScript file info and the font file path (otherwise Id never have known Helvetic.ttf was generating the Arial PostScripts), but if it wasnt so picky, none of these problems would likely have surfaced in the first place, soo.. "
I didn't have Helvetica installed and since I deleted about 200 font files I don't know which one(s) were corrupted, but the result was the same. You can delete the Adobefnt*.lst files and reboot all you want but until you get rid of the corrupted fonts, it won't help.
18. Re: Missing Fonts(KellyGarrett) Jul 2, 2007 10:12 AM (in response to (bilglas))Ok same problem here. I needed arial narrow bold super bad so what I did is install Font Xplorer (props to Mr. White) and right click install on arial narrow bold.
It showed up in illustrator.
19. Re: Missing Fonts(Dave_Saunders) Jul 2, 2007 10:15 AM (in response to (bilglas))> arial narrow bold super bad
Now there's a font to crave! [grin]
20. Re: Missing Fonts(Tina_Oliphant) Jul 7, 2007 1:45 PM (in response to (bilglas))I have perhaps a similar and certainly equally as frustrating a problem. I am trying to download about 10 Khmer fonts. All the fonts appear in Word and Photoshop, but only 2 of the 8 appear in InDesign CS2 on Windows XP. Any ideas?
21. Re: Missing Fonts(Tina_Oliphant) Jul 9, 2007 5:44 AM (in response to (bilglas))Worse, the fonts show up in Indesign 2 but Not CS2 (Windosows XP).
22. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jul 9, 2007 5:53 AM (in response to (bilglas))Just to be sure, have you scrolled through the whole font list in CS2? They might be grouped at the bottom.
23. Re: Missing FontsJoel Cherney Jul 9, 2007 10:27 AM (in response to (bilglas))Hey Tina, which Khmer fonts are you trying to use? My experience with both the Limon and Ekreach families is that they need to be edited in order to appear in ID. Editing fonts is a horrible, horrible idea for any stable print workflow, and may well be in violation of the licensing agreement depending on foundry, but in the case of Limon and Ekreach, it's the only way I know of to get them to function in ID.
I'm 95% sure that Khmer fonts won't appear at the bottom of the font list in ID. If they're Khmer Unicode fonts, they're not supported by Cooltype or Uniscribe, or at least they weren't the last time I checked. If they appear in ID at all, I'd bet money that the fonts are identifying themselves as Thai fonts, and you'll have severe character drops when trying to set Khmer type.
If they're not Unicode fonts (like the Limon and Ekreach mentioned above), then they most likely will not appear in the font dropdown because they weren't generated correctly. However, if you have a tool to edit TrueType fonts, you might be able to get them to work in a duct-taped sort of way.
24. Re: Missing FontsThomas Phinney Jul 10, 2007 8:50 AM (in response to (bilglas))"It seems like when InDesign generates its font list and the Find Font dialogue box, it gets its information on what fonts are available from PostScript files, not necessarily the fonts themselves."
"...replace the old Arial PostScript files..."
"InDesign was a help in that it was the only program which displayed both the PostScript file info and the font file path (otherwise Id never have known Helvetic.ttf was generating the Arial PostScripts)...."
Just two clarifications: the writer is using "PostScript files" to mean "(PostScript) Type 1 font files," and these ARE actual fonts. However, they later refer to "Arial PostScripts" to mean fonts showing up in the menu regardless of what fonts are physically around. Very confusing.
25. Re: Missing Fonts(Mauro_Bertuol) Jul 17, 2007 1:43 PM (in response to (bilglas))Has anybody found a solution for this? How about Adobe Support? I could not find anything on their knowledgebase.
26. Re: Missing Fonts(Tina_Oliphant) Jul 18, 2007 8:54 PM (in response to (bilglas))I am using Limon fonts, specifically S1 and R1. S1 appears just fine (not at the bottom of the list), but not R1. And they both appear correctly in Word.
27. Re: Missing Fonts(Mauro_Bertuol) Jul 19, 2007 4:49 AM (in response to (bilglas))I found the culprit but not exactly the solution. The problem is NOT related to Vista. It also happens in machines with Windows XP. The issue is related with Office 2007. Adobe products do not recognize fonts installed by Office 2007.
I did several tests. I installed Vista on a desktop. Arial Narrow is not installed as system font. Then I installed CS2 and Arial Narrow (version 2.35). It worked perfectly. After that I installed Office 2007. The problem appeared again: Arial Narrow displays as a variant of Arial. And if you a have a document in Word using Calibri, Distiller does NOT output the PDF because it does not find the font.
Then I tried to remove Arial Narrow version 2.37 (installed by Office 2007) and installed Arial Narrow version 2.35. A weird thing happened: the font appears duplicated in the Windows font folder.
I did the same tests in a desktop with Windows XP. Adobe products work fine with Arial Narrow as long as Office 2007 is not installed. Once you install Office 2007 the problem appears.
I called Microsoft and they told me they cannot help me with this. Adobe is not helping.
What the hell are we supposed to do?
28. Re: Missing FontsBobLevine Jul 19, 2007 4:58 AM (in response to (Mauro_Bertuol))I can confirm the behavior but I'm not quite sure it's a bad thing going
forward. I far prefer to see these font styles linked properly to their
Whether this was intentional or not, I don't know.
You might want to take this over to the type forum where the real font
gurus hang out. There may be some insight into this over there.
29. Re: Missing Fonts(Mauro_Bertuol) Jul 19, 2007 5:13 AM (in response to (bilglas))The problem is that I cannot apply the following styles:
Arial Narrow Bold
Arial Narrow Italic
Arial Narrow Bold Italic
The only thing that I can apply is Arial Narrow itself. I would not mind if all the arial narrow styles would appear under Arial. The problem is that I cannot use the 3 styles above.
Also, how do you explain that the new fonts installed by Office 2007 as Calibri are not recognized by Distiller?
30. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jul 19, 2007 5:14 AM (in response to (bilglas))>I far prefer to see these font styles linked properly to their
And I doubt that anyone would be complaining if ALL the narrow variants were showing up with the plain variants. It's the missing italic and bold variants that seems to have people (rightly) steamed.
Interesting that this is an Office 2007 issue. One more reason not to upgrade.
31. Re: Missing FontsBobLevine Jul 19, 2007 5:20 AM (in response to Peter Spier)Ah yes...I do see the problem now.
Interesting. I'm guessing there's some type of bug there, but I'm not
enough of an expert in font technology to to even guess who's fault this is.
32. Re: Missing FontsBobLevine Jul 19, 2007 5:38 AM (in response to Peter Spier)I never should stepped into this thread. Ignore everything with the
exception of confirming the behavior. :(
33. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jul 19, 2007 5:41 AM (in response to (bilglas))>I'm guessing there's some type of bug there, but I'm not enough of an expert in font technology to to even guess who's fault this is.
But we can take a stab at who is in a better position to ignore or break an existing standard. ;)
34. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jul 19, 2007 6:29 AM (in response to (bilglas))Could you post a link to putting the genie back into the bottle, please.
35. Re: Missing Fonts(Mauro_Bertuol) Jul 19, 2007 7:59 AM (in response to (bilglas))I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
1) Log into any computer running Windows XP, locate and copy the 4 Arial Narrow files:
Please note that the extension is TTF, not OTF (installed with Office 2007) and the size is smaller (Arial Narrow OTF size is over 170KB)
2) Copy the files to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
3) Open any Adobe product (I have tested with Illustrator CS2, Indesign CS2 and Indesign CS3). You will now see both Arial and Arial Narrow listed. However, Arial Narrow (Regular) is listed under Arial.You will see:
ARIAL and the variants:
Bold Italic
ARIAL NARROW and the variants:
Bold Italic
Therefore if you wish to use Arial Narrow Regular you have to select Arial and the variant Narrow. For the the other Arial Narrow variants, select Arial Narrow and the variant you want to use.
Please let me know if this worked for you. Good luck!
36. Re: Missing FontsPeter Spier Jul 19, 2007 9:28 AM (in response to (bilglas))I'd like to add to my earlier post speculating about responsibility.
As I'm not a font expert, nor knowledgeable about how Adobe products get information about what fonts are loaded in the system, I suppose it is possible that this is similar to the problems people report about various Adobe apps "breaking" their PDF workflow.
In those cases it has been suggested that the problems are caused by third-party developers' failures to properly implement the postscript standard. In fairness, it is not impossible, however unlikely, that Adobe could also be guilty of such a lapse, and that the newer fonts are making use of code in a new, but compliant, way which was not anticipated.
37. Re: Missing Fonts(Howie_Nordström) Jul 28, 2007 11:23 AM (in response to (bilglas))Thanks you Mauro. That did the trick.
38. Re: Missing Fonts(Andrew_Caruso) Jul 29, 2007 5:33 AM (in response to (bilglas))BRILLIANT! It now works perfectly!
39. Re: Missing Fonts(AnneC) Aug 3, 2007 7:21 AM (in response to (bilglas))It works!! Thank you Mauro!

Edwards Penalized for Jumping Restart
Carl Edwards left Richmond International Raceway believing that he did the right thing as the leader on the Lap-319 in the Capital City 400 Saturday night.
NASCAR officials, however, said he was wrong in several ways. First of all, he wasn't the leader, NASCAR officials said, and he passed the real leader, Tony Stewart, before the start/finish line. And secondly, he didn't restart properly, even if he was the leader, because he accelerated before the start of the restart zone.
So NASCAR officials believe they were justified in issuing a pass-through penalty that dropped Edwards to 15th a couple of laps later and led to a 10th-place finish.
"The 14 (of Stewart) is the leader and he didn't even get to the zone to restart the race," NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said. "Carl, given the information he had, tried to get his best start and jumped the start.
"They were a couple of car lengths before the zone. You've got to get to the zone first. That didn't happen."
Edwards, who had led a race-high 206 of 400 laps, didn't seem convinced.
"I feel that a chance to win that race was taken from us," the Roush Fenway Racing driver said. "I'm real frustrated. … We worked real hard for tonight and that's how it goes sometimes in sports. It's tough."
The confusion started when Edwards, Jimmie Johnson and Stewart were the only drivers on the lead lap when the caution came out to interrupt a series of green-flag pit stops.
Johnson and Stewart had pitted, but Edwards hadn't, and pitted under caution. Johnson was penalized for a crew member rolling a tire—crew members must have control of the tire until the middle of the pit box—and Johnson had to go to the rear of the field, making Stewart the leader.
But after the drivers lined up double file one lap prior to the restart, NASCAR had to wave off the restart so Johnson could get to the tail of the field.
As they rode in double file around the track, Edwards beat Stewart to the line one lap prior to the restart. That triggered the scoring monitors and scoreboard to post Edwards as the leader.
Edwards then asked his spotter, Jason Hedlesky, if he was the leader. Hedleskey said he was, later telling the team that he was told by the NASCAR official on the spotters stand and by Stewart's spotter that Edwards was the leader.
So Edwards, thinking he was the leader, gunned it just as he thought he got to the restart zone.
"I thought Tony Stewart was the leader on the inside (and) NASCAR told my spotter about three seconds before the restart that (I) was the leader," Edwards said. "They put us on the scoreboard as the leader, so I realized I'm at a disadvantaged position—I'm in the outside lane and NASCAR made a little mistake.
"I got the best start I could. Tony didn't start or spun his tires. … I don't think it's right. I don't agree with it."
NASCAR penalized Edwards for jumping the restart and he had to do a pass-through penalty—meaning he had to drive down pit road under green, at pit-road speed.
Edwards said he wished NASCAR would have thrown a caution flag and restarted the race with him back in second.
Edwards, crew chief Bob Osborne and team owner Jack Roush met with NASCAR officials after the race.
"We had to agree to disagree. … I don't feel like we did the wrong thing," Edwards said. "I just feel we did the best we could with what we had there and if the same thing happened again and I hadn't experienced this, I'd do the same thing every time.
"It's just too bad we didn't get a shot to race for the win."
Team owner Jack Roush declined to comment on what he thought of the NASCAR explanation.
"I don't have anything to say," he said.
Osborne left frustrated and said it came down to straightforward jumping the restart.
"We were confused based on being told who the leader was by the officiating (people)," Osborne said. "They said we did both (violations). At the time, I didn't feel like we did, but looking at the video, we were too aggressive on the restart."
Stewart said he thought he was the leader and was prepared to restart the race.
"We were the first one to line up and we were the leader on the board," Stewart said. "So I don't know how much clearer it could be that we were the leader.
"If that was the case (that Edwards was the leader), then they should have put the caution out and given him the opportunity to choose the lane that he wanted. It's a miscommunication between upstairs and the drivers."
But what about Edwards saying that the NASCAR official supposedly told his spotter that he was the leader?
"Supposedly is a really strong statement," Pemberton said. "As you are coming to the restart, there is a lot of finger-pointing up there and everybody has to look at the scoreboard but you really have to look at the fact of that they knew coming to one to go (before the restart), 14 was the leader and the 99 was second.
"It was as clear as that."

There is a part of Erin Blair that won't allow her to accept, at least completely, that her Olympic dream – all these years later – is actually coming true.
Ask the first-year fifth- and sixth-grade health teacher at Lakewood School in Carpentersville what the moment was like when her phone rang and the news arrived that she'd be traveling to the 2014 Sochi Winter Games in February as a women's hockey referee, and Blair struggles to come up with words.
Perhaps it's because of the enormity of the accomplishment. After working eight international tournaments, Blair will skate on women's hockey's biggest frozen stage. Maybe it's because after three years of learning she was even being considered for a spot on the officiating crew that will work the Sochi Games, she was selected as one of six referees and the only from the United States.
But considering this isn't the first time the 32-year-old Blair chased the Winter Olympics, the realization that she actually made it is still a little bit much to take in all at once.
"I don't even how to put it into words," Blair said Thursday, two days after she learned of her Olympic appointment. "I feel blessed. I feel like I've been given some great opportunities in the past, and this is the ultimate goal. This is what everybody that does what I do wants to do.
"It's kind of a feeling that I can't believe it's me."
As fulfilling of a feeling as that is, though, perhaps it means more because she understands what it's like to be on the other end. Blair, a former goalie at the University of Findlay (Ohio), had attended open tryouts for the U.S. National Team as a player. She never made the cut, leaving the Lisle native feeling disappointed and forcing her to move on from a goal of representing the U.S. in an Olympic games.
But when Blair started officiating just as a way to remain connected to hockey, the desire to make another Olympic team – as a referee – re-emerged, pushing Blair to put herself back on a track to reach the Winter Games. Over the course of her 13-year officiating career, Blair kept surging ahead, first in the minority as a female Division I hockey referee and then at the international level. With each step, she inched closer to making her Olympic debut.
Along the way, she never lost sight of her role on the ice.
"Whether I step on the ice for a Mites games with kids that are 6, 7 years old or I step on the ice for an international U.S. versus Canada game, it's the same concept of calling the game to the best of your ability," Blair said. "You see what you see and do the best that you can. You can't overthink it. Everybody's going to have nerves, but you have to step out there and say, 'This is my job.' "
Even if it's not on a full-time basis.
Unlike her male counterparts who are career hockey officials – including Crystal Lake resident and NHL linesman Andy McElman, who also learned last week he will work the Sochi Games – Blair has had to balance her Olympic dreams with maintaining a career away from the ice.
After working with young athletes in the exercise science field, Blair changed direction four years ago, returning to school to pursue her teaching certificate. The career shift limited how much Blair could officiate, as she focused on a completely new direction in life. Yet, even in the chaos of reinventing herself with her career, she never allowed the Olympics to stray from her to-do list.
"It's like my two worlds were colliding," Blair said. " Yeah, I wanted [the Olympics], but it was a juggling act. But I was still able to accomplish both of my goals. I've become a teacher and I was selected to work the Olympics, and I think that made [the appointment] even more special."
The latter has given Blair a celebrity status at Lakewood that other first-year teachers don't often experience. She began the school year knowing she was on the short list for an Olympic appointment, allowing Blair to include her students on he journey to Sochi.
On a regular, if not daily, basis, they would ask if she had heard anything yet about the Olympics, picking up excitement as the selection date drew nearer. The smiles Blair sees from her kids has made the journey even more meaningful, understanding that even a refereeing job that sometimes seems like a sidelight to Blair's everyday job is having an impact on her students.
Blair recently served as a motivational speaker for Lakewood's Dare To Be Rare after-school event, inspiring girls to never give up on their dreams. After hearing Blair's story, students – along with her educational colleagues – couldn't help but get caught up in Blair's Olympic hopes.
"She had to work hard and she wasn't always successful at everything and sometimes she didn't make something, but she picked herself up and brushed herself off," Lakewood School Principal Asia Gurney said. "Maybe she had to try something different or try a little harder, and I think that's a very good influence for our kids.
"Her determination, her positive attitude and her willingness to work hard and have a vision and goal and work toward that is very inspiring."
Before leaving for Sochi in early February, Blair will train off-ice three days a week while skating one or two additional days to physically prepare for a women's style of play known for its finesse and wide-open play. Unlike the men's game, there is no body-checking in women's Olympic hockey, making conditioning – even for the officials – a top priority.
Blair, who worked the 2011 Asian Winter Games before 8,000 fans in an environment so loud she could barely hear, will begin to picture her biggest officiating assignment to date, embracing the opportunity as well as finally seeing her Olympic dream come true.
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this because it's so unique and so different than anything else I've ever experienced," Blair said. "Even at the tournaments I've worked, we don't get a lot of people, we don't get a lot of big crowds to come watch the games.
"So it's one of those things that I haven't ever seen, and so I don't even know what to envision."

Oscar Niemeyer, the architect whose soaring buildings form the heart of Brasilia, the instant modernist capital built in the wilds of Brazil in the late 1950s, has died. He was 104.
Niemeyer, who had outlived his contemporaries to become the world's oldest practicing architect of international stature, died Wednesday at a Rio de Janeiro hospital. The cause was a respiratory infection, a hospital spokeswoman told the Associated Press.
During his long and productive life, Niemeyer was revered as well as ridiculed for his daring designs, but the creativity and sheer volume of his works ultimately spoke for him. In 1988, at 80, he shared architecture's biggest prize, the Pritzker.
PHOTOS: Oscar Niemeyer's life and work
Niemeyer, a diminutive, soft-spoken man, worked well into his 90s in a Rio de Janeiro penthouse office with a stunning view of Sugar Loaf Mountain and overlooking Copacabana Beach. Hundreds of projects came into being kindled by this view.
Many of his designs began with a quick sketch that embodied his love of the curve — from Einstein's universe, to the sinewy white beach that he gazed at nearly every day, to the voluptuous women he so loved to watch walking along that beach.
These women, he often said, were his inspiration.
"Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple," Niemeyer told the Washington Post in 2002. "I am a Brazilian before I am an architect. I cannot separate the two."
A passionate man, he lived in protest of the right angle "and buildings designed with the ruler and the square." His politics were also those of protest — he became a communist in the 1940s because of his anger over the inequality he saw around him, and he was a longtime friend of Cuba's revolutionary, Fidel Castro. His designs — especially of Brasilia — were partly an attempt to push his country toward egalitarianism, bringing rich and poor together through housing projects and public spaces.
A few years after Brasilia was completed, when a rightist military coup in 1964 not only destroyed Niemeyer's dreams of a just society in Brazil but also took away his sponsors, he fled to Algiers and then Paris. In the city, he had an office on the Champs Elysees and met Pablo Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and many other notables and, he later recounted, lived a hedonistic life far away from his wife, Annita. He returned to Rio in the late 1970s.
Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida de Niemeyer Soares was a Carioca — a native of Rio — whose heritage was Portuguese, Arab and German. Born Dec. 15, 1907, he was the son of a businessman and his wife who lived in Laranjeiras, a quaint, hilly neighborhood within the city.
While at the National School of Fine Arts, from which he graduated in 1934, Niemeyer worked with architect and urban planner Lucio Costa, who would lead Niemeyer to projects that would make his name in international architecture.
Costa, the master planner of Brasilia and an early proponent of Brazilian modernism, at first was unimpressed when the young draftsman joined his firm. Before long, they were working with Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier — who was in Brazil as a design consultant to the government — on the defiantly modern design for the Ministry of Education and Health Building in Rio. The building, which incorporated Le Corbusier's signature "brise-soleil" louvers to shield it from Brazil's intense sunlight, became a symbol of the new architecture in Brazil.
Le Corbusier would greatly influence Niemeyer, instilling in him a sense of fluidity, spontaneity and what David Underwood, writing in "Oscar Niemeyer and Brazilian Free-form Modernism" (1994), called jeito — "the lightness of touch, the graceful elegance of form and the movement inherent in the sauntering 'Girl from Ipanema' celebrated in the best of Brazilian modernism."
While Le Corbusier opened doors to creativity, however, Niemeyer saw his work as very distinct from his mentor's. As he told The Times: "He posited the right angle. I posit the curve."
In bringing to life his sensuous designs, he relied on what was then a new and versatile material — reinforced concrete — which he pushed to its limits, especially at load-bearing points, he wrote in a 2003 essay for Deutsches Architektur Museum, "which I wanted to be as delicate as possible so that it would seem as if [they] barely touched the ground."
The first Niemeyer structure built was a maternity clinic in Rio in 1937. His first major project, commissioned in 1940, were buildings for Pampulha, a then-new suburb of the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte, including a yacht club, casino and a church so avant-garde in design that church officials refused to consecrate it for 16 years.
With Costa, Niemeyer also designed the Brazilian Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1939, and Niemeyer influenced the ultimate design of the United Nations headquarters while serving as Brazil's design consultant in 1947.
In time, his portfolio would include a postwar housing project in Berlin; the universities of Constantine and Algiers in Algeria; the French Communist Party headquarters in Paris; the Cultural Center of Le Havre, France; and the Mondadori headquarters in Milan.
He also designed the Strick House in Santa Monica— thought to be his only residential commission in the United States.
He will perhaps be best remembered for Brasilia, the bold project launched by Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek in 1956 in an effort to unify his vast country and move it forward half a century in a mere five years.
Kubitschek commissioned Niemeyer and Costa to oversee his dream of moving Brazil's capital from coastal Rio to a nearly uninhabited high central plain more than 700 miles away. Niemeyer had described it as "a dismal patch of wilderness."
Costa developed the master plan, which from the sky resembled an aircraft, with public buildings in the body of the craft and housing in the north-south wings. Niemeyer designed the major public buildings, including the Alvorada Palace, the cathedral and the Supreme Court and Congress buildings.
Niemeyer began his work on Brasilia by designing the glass-and-concrete cathedral, which resembles an old-fashioned woman's corset with stays cinched around the middle. To heighten the drama for worshipers, Niemeyer designed a dark subterranean entrance hall from which one emerges into a light and airy nave.
"Instead of looking out into the emptiness, you look upward, to where the Lord is waiting," the lapsed Catholic told Newsweek in 2002.
Within four years after construction began, Brasilia was established as the country's seat of government — a feat that took 40,000 workers and ultimately broke the country's treasury.
Though monumental in its grandness, Brasilia has had its share of ardent critics, including Robert Hughes, who had called it a "utopian horror."
Even Niemeyer was disappointed that Brasilia did not fulfill his idealistic dream of one bright and equal city full of the future. Twenty years after it was built, Niemeyer said that the poor "see the beauty of Brasilia through binoculars."
But to other criticisms — for example, that not all of Brasilia's buildings are functional or lasting — Niemeyer verbally shrugged. "It's not enough to be functional," he told The Times.
His goal was to astonish, to inspire, to make his buildings "beautiful and spectacular so that the poor can stop to look at them, and be touched and enthused."
Neimeyer's wife of 75 years, Annita, died in 2004. Two years later he married his former secretary, Vera Lucia Cabreira. With his first wife he had a daughter, Anna Maria. His survivors include many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
Luther is a former Times staff writer.
