Playtest Font Problems


Advanced Player's Guide Playtest: Final Playtest

Dark Archive

I just downloaded the final playtest PDF (man am I excited) but when I open it the computer tells me that it cannot unpack the font and so I cannot read any of the information in the class tables. Has anyone else had this problem? How do you fix it? I've tried downloading it multiple times but I still get the same issue.


Same problem, no solution yet. Posted in another thread where people were discussing the issue with missing 'A's and mentioned it. I speculated that there might be a problem with corrupt embedded fonts and am waiting to see if our esteemed Technical Director Vic Wertz has any ideas.


I'm getting the same problem.

I had the same problem trying to open the file in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and again in 7.1. I then tried opening the exact same file in Adobe Reader 8.1.4 and it worked much better. I still don't have any A's starting the paragraphs but at least all the tables and text are legible (instead of being dots).

It looks like the fix we employed to improve compatibility with older versions of OS X seems to have caused problems with some versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I've reverted that change for now. Folks who were having problems, can you repersonalize and redownload, and let me know if it's solved for you?

It resolved. Yay!

It's working for me now as well, thanks!
