How do I deactivate fonts in Adobe applications, CS6, Mac OS 10.6.8?

After years using font management applications (Suitcase, FontExplorer) a couple of years ago suspicion of corrupt fonts led me to strip down to using just FontBook as a minimalist font management tool. It is very cumbersome though that even though in FontBook I deactivate all the fonts I'm not working with or wanting to explore, a huge list shows up in my Adobe applications. How can I control/sync my preferences for which fonts are active or not? I'm a graphic designer, so this is a real annoyance.

You cannot deactivate fonts when the are installed as system fonts. But you can install fonts for some software manufacturer like Adobe for them only in the Application Support in their subfolder is a font.
With InDesign you can also install fonts for InDesign only in InDesign's font folder.
With in InDesign you can also install fonts on a Document level only, if you place them in a folder named "Document fonts" which has to be in the same directory as the INDD file is.
But with the current CC versions you see in the font dialog a star at the left of the font's name. Click on this star, then it will become a Favorite, and then you can click above to filter your favorites only. This will hide all other fonts. This may work for you to reduce the list.

Font not available in Photoshop CS6 or Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have installed the Frutiger font family in the font library. It appears in the drop-down menu in InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. How can I make the font available in these programs?

It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!

You may try to clear the font caches; instructions may be read here: http://www.fontmarketplace.com/info/font-help.aspx; there are font caches clearing applications for Mac, searchable with the search term clear font caches.

Can i change the behavior of the character menu so that the list begins with the current font selected and not at the beginning of the list?

Im struggling with the way the font selection tab works in the character menu.
When i scroll down the list and select minion halfway down the list, the next time i click on the font tab, the list starts back at the top of the list making me scroll down the list every time i want to look for a font.
Can anyone offer some suggestions here?
thanks
jeff

You can't do it exactly the way you want, but if you have InDesign CC or CC 2014, you can set fonts in the Character panel or Control panel Type menu to be Favorites. Click the "star" beside a font to set it as a favorite. Then at the top of the menu, click the "star" filter to show favorites in your list instead of a list of all the fonts.

You just install it in the OS.
Photoshop gets the fonts from the OS.

What's a good wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver CS6 Mac?

I'm trying to build menus in Dreamweaver CS6 Mac, and started using Spry...then learned that Adobe will no loner be supporting Spry and that it may not be as compatible with browsers in the future.
What's a good alternative wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver that's makes it easy to create horizontal/vertical pop-down menus/sub menus? I'd be willing to pay for it if it's worth it. Would be nice if it worked within Dreamweaver using Design/Spit modes the way Spry does, but not essential. Thanks!

Project Seven are widely regarded for their commercial DW menu extensions.
PMM3 is one of the best I've seen

I have no affiliation with Project Seven other than as a happy customer.
There are other menu systems out there too but I've never used them.

CS6 Mac character box scroll

Hi all,
Using the new caracter font scroll feature in CS6.
When scrolling through fonts by highlighting in the carater box and watching my type change from font to font, it will come to a stop at certain fonts.

The problem is the scroll stops when it reaches OS fonts that have < > around them like < Apple Braille >
Is there a fix?

RTL & Indian Language Support for Indesign CS6 Mac

Hi,
I am using Adobe Indesign CS6 Mac version and need support to using Arabic and Indian Language Support. I am not able to write this language. When I am pasting from Word or anywhere text is going cracked.
I also learn to enable language support from Character setting but I can't find Kashidas option on my Indesign.
It will be very helpful if some one support how to enable this option or download.
Best Regards,
Rakesh

That's because Larry is correct, and Ellis is correct about you needing to take Larry's advice if you don't have the World-Ready Composer in your menu. You need something like the World Tools plugin from InTools to access the complex-script tools not available in the menus in your install of CS6.
(Or you could employ Ellis' other suggestion and move to the Cloud. But World Tools is rather less expensive in the long term.)

FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.
This script will help by clearing the font cache and will test for corrupted fonts.
This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.
This script doesn’t solve duplicate font name, but clears out your font cach . It it will solve some duplicate font style name issues such as the one in the link below.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4306828#4306828
There is a pdf file explaining how to use the script and what it will do.
See attached files.

Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.

Duplicate font in PDF causes prepress RIP failure

I've scanned various forums trying to get a handle on this problem but nothing seems to get at this issue.
A book that we've built with InDesign generates pdfs that show a duplicate MyriadPro-Light font embedded in the document. The second iteration of the font has a different icon and is listed with as Type 1(CID) with Encoding: Identity-H. The Acrobat Pro PDF/X-1a preflight doesn't flag any issues with the file, but when I sent the file to prepress their RIP flagged the MyriadPro-Light font as having inadequate permissions. They were unable to substitute a font or bypass the error. What's more, they were unable to print from the packaged source files I provided - getting the same error. They had to brute-force open individual pdf pages in Illustrator, convert to outlines, generate an eps and place 170 eps pages in Quark to get a file that would RIP.
Here's an image link that shows the two MyriadPro-Light font entries with the balky one highlighted.
http://home.comcast.net/~bjnicholls/fileaccess/EmbeddedFontsAcrobatPro.jpg
I've looked for duplicate MyriadPro installations in my XP SP2 system fonts folder and in the common files/adobe/fonts folder. There were duplicates for several MyriadPro fonts, but only the Light variant is acting up. From what I've gleaned, the Indentity-H suggests the font is a screen font or something along those lines.
I moved all the OTF fonts from the common files Adobe fonts folder trying to troubleshoot the problem. I bypassed my FontAgent Pro utility and ensured the MyriadPro OTF fonts were installed in the system fonts folder with no fonts with similar names.
I theorized that pdf and eps graphics placed in the book documents may have a font variant embedded in them, so I went through all the placed vector format files and converted type to outlines. A subsequent pdf export shows the same duplicate font problem.
I'd appreciate help with a strategy to track down the offending font. There are 11 documents assembled into one InDesign book, I'm generating a book pdf from the book dialog window. I've opened each document looking for font error messages and found none. In each document, Myriad Pro Light shows normally in the font pulldown lists and behaves normally.
Some of the document files were worked on via a Mac. As far as I know the same Adobe Opentype fonts were used by that designer. The documents started out in InDesign CS2, but as my collaborator acquired CS3 we've moved the document into the new version.
In addition to diagnostic strategy advice, I'd appreciate information or links to explain Adobe's application font strategy (dedicated font folders in both the common program files folder and so-called "private" font folders associated in the application folder tree). I've seen many threads where this fragmentation of installed fonts causes confusion and I'd like to understand what Adobe's intent is with this separate font management system.
I suppose I should ask this in the Acrobat forum, but I don't understand why this font issue isn't flagged in Acrobat preflight checking.
Thanks for any light you can shed on these questions.

Therer is absolutely nothing wrong with the scenario of a PDF file having one font subset as regular Type 1 and another as a double byte CID encoded. That is all perfectly kosher per the PDF specification. As such, no PDF/X preflight or any other rational preflight profile will flag this as an error since it is not an error!
I suspect that the "problem" is not that there are two subsets of a particular font, one as a regular Type 1 font and the other as a CID-encoded font, but rather, that there is a problem with the RIP itself not being able to properly deal with CID-encoded fonts. The fact is that CID-encoding has been part of the PostScript language specification for well over 10 years (standard in PostScript 3 and most PostScript Level 2 printers can handle these fonts - even my 12 year old LaserJet 5M can handle them!) and the general PDF specification since Acrobat 4 / PDF 1.3 in 1999 (although Acrobat 3 did support them for CJK Asian fonts).
Note that the scenario you offer occurs not only with InDesign, but with Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat Distiller. All of them can yield PDF files that would be a problem for your printer's RIP.
Looks like your printer needs to update their software to some reasonable level.

If I had a font I used in CS6, how do I import it into CC?

If I had a font I used in CS6, how do I import it into CC?

No worries.
If you are using a font manager, it will either have an activate or install option in it. The help file for the particular font manager likely has the process written down.
If you are not using a font manager, then depending upon your OS, you simply install them. I am using Windows and so installing a font is as easy as right-clicking on the font file and choosing install. I have no idea how to installa font on a Mac if that's what you are using. Either OS font installation can easily be Googled, though, if you are not sure.

About resolving duplicate fonts

Hi to all !!
Got a question about resolving duplicate fonts.
Safari (1.3.1) quits on occasion, especially after long internet browsing.
So following Bee's estimed adviced, I trashed the icons folder and checked for duplicate fonts. Of course there were some so I applied "resolving duplicates" and it worked to clean up certain fonts but on other I got a message asking me: Are you sure you want to disable the selected fonts? If you do, these fonts will not appear in the collection "All Fonts" in the Font panel.
I've tried selecting the whole font or only the duplicate within but for these 5 fonts I get the same message.
Is it OK to click "OK" ???
Thanks again for any help, it's greatly appreciated!!!
Eric

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
We're other Mac users here, asking questions and sharing solutions.
You have a distinct font conflict. It's probably a free font that you downloaded.
You're going to have to click on each font to see the sample text. It's going to
look like the mystery one on all your menus. It's a small-caps font. Once you find
out which one it is, trash it.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.
