Fonts in Preview

I opened a PDF created by someone else in Preview, highlighted a few words, and saved the file. After saving, anywhere the original PDF's text was in italics now displays in a completely different, less readable font. Any idea what happened or how to prevent it from happening again?

sharonnie,

Gtk2fontsel pkgbuild. Font selection preview app.

This is acctually standard gtk2 widget for font selection/preview compiled alone.

Well, let's say this is solved, though not properly.
If you encounter a "no show" problem like mine, it may be an issue involving theme multi-compatibility with gtk2, 3, metacity and the like.
Try switching to another theme to see if your system better "support" it, or use separate themes for gtk2 and gkt3.

'custom' font sounds like you may be working with a font that is unsupported on iOS/iPad.
Supported fonts are found in the pull-down font menu in the toolbar. Authors are obligated (mostly) to stick to that list.

Pdf created with Mathematica 9 misses font in preview

Dear all,
I have installed a new font called 'Arev Sans' in Regular, Italic and Bold face. It works fine in Keynote and Mathematica and all other programs so far. Now I did an Export of a plot in mathematica and tried to look at the created pdf with Preview. It turns out, that only the Italic and Bold fonts of Arev Sans are shown in the correct way. The Regular face is substituted by another font. Unfortunately this is the same if I try to include the plot in keynote, which is bad because I want to use the Arev font in my presentation. However, if I open the pdf with Acrobat Readrer the fonts are ok.
Does anyone have a suggestion what to do? Would be great!

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

I did as you suggested and there are no errors after the valdiation with Font Book.
Yes Regular is listed against Arev.
Actually, the font works in Keynote and also in Mathematica. The problem occurs just when I do the Export from Mathematica and include the created pdf into Keynote (or likewise open it with Preview). It seems to me that there is an issue with the font coming from Mac Os...

How can I change annotation font in Preview?

Hi,
To view PDF text files, I am using Preview, which seems to me far better than Adobe Pro.
The only problem I have with Preview is the font size in "note" option in annotation function.
It is just too small for me. Is there any way that I can change the font size in "note"?
I know I can change font size in "text" option, but I almost gave up how to do in 'note' after searching the web for months.
Help me plzzzzz...

This is a very old thread, but in case you stumble across this thread wondering how to change annotation or cursor fonts, it is possible.
a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"] {color: black;} a.lia-user-name-link[href="/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88938"]:after {content: '';} .jrd-sig {height: 80px; overflow: visible;} .jrd-sig-deploy {float:left; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img {float:right; opacity:0.2;} .jrd-sig-img:hover {opacity:0.8;} .jrd-sig-deploy:hover {opacity:0.8;}

Font in Preview blurry

In Yosemite, when I look at a pdf file in Preview the fonts are blurry compared to Mavericks. The upper image below is a screenshot using Mavericks, and the lower one is from Yosemite.
I tried fiddling with LCD font smoothing in preferences, and restarting, but nothing changed. Anyone else having this issue, and maybe found a solutions?

Dear Stuart Field and concerned Apple staff,
Apparently it is because the anti-aliasing algorithm used by Preview.app in Yosemite is incorrect.
The same problem has been raised and discussed recently on other sites including Reddit and StackExchange.
A comparison of the same PDF viewed in 10.9 and 10.10 can be seen below (images taken from this post).
10.9 (correct and beautiful with colorful shadow):
and on 10.10 (weird, grey shadow):
Presumably this bug is coming from the incorrect adjustment for Mac family with retina display.
Note that this bug does NOT happen in Safari, which is quite amusing.
Sincerely,
Leo

Font weight preview in CC 2014

Is there any way to show just one weight in the font list like before (with a submenu dropdown for the weights) instead of the entire font family showing? Some font families have over a 100 weights and I don't want to scroll through 100 slightly-different versions of the same font... this considerably slows down my workflow when I just want to search for a nice font to use in my design :/

Pressing . on the number pad doesn't work?
Trust me when I say that scrubbing the audio in 13.0 didn't work well... warning “RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames” after scrubbing audio in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)
So, this was a bug they were trying to fix with 13.1 (and may have messed something up with your specific system), Adobe will want a bug report on your system. Give as much info as possible: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Can you preview audio when it's not going through the BlackMagic?

How do I fix jagged fonts in Preview?

Something happened and now all the pdf-documents I open in Preview have really jagged fonts and terrible quality. I'm using OS X 10.6.8. This might have happened when I last updated the software, but I don't remember exactly. How do I fix this?

Wow, now I feel really stupid. I just found the "Smooth text and line art" and clicked that. Fixed the problem. Amazed.

Sharing Indesign on CC show low-resolution images and not the right font in preview

Dear Adobe,
I really want to make use of CC Files and the sharing ability with my clients. I have shared an Indesign file, whereas all the links in that indesign file are on CC Files too. The font is a regular Futura Std. But both the links in the files (background and logo) and the font used are not showing up correctly. I deleted the file and uploaded it again, but it is still showing a bad preview. This is not something I can share with my clients.
Am I doing something wrong? It appears that another Illustrator file is showing its preview in low-resolution and after 2 seconden it renders it at a higher resolution.
Regards,
Daniel

Fonts may not and links will not show up correctly in the image preview on the Files page. The preview being created on the server is not able to access the links, and only the default fonts are available.
You can export a PDF and share this with your clients (and you can always include a link to the InDesign files if the clients need to download them).

How do I change the annotation font in Preview?

So I'm not fond of the default font used in the annotation sticky in the new Preview.app. However, the Font menu seems to be disconnected from the sticky - in that if I select the Font inspector, it unselects the sticky so the changes do not apply to it.
How can I change this? And while I'm at it, any way to get the timestamping feature turned back on for the sticky note? It helps to see when I wrote the sticky... Thanks.

Delete the font, wont change size but the tpye. https://discussions.apple.com/message/20064773#20064773

Changing Default Annotations Font in Preview

Is there a way to change the default annotations font in the preview app for Mountain Lion? I'm using the annotations feature to take notes on class assignments, however, I don't like the default "noteworthy" font. I've tried to change it by selecting Tools > Show fonts. However, when I highlight the annotations I've taken, then try to select a different font, it only closes my annotations note without changing the font.
Along the same lines, is it possible to have rich text formatting while using preview's annotations feature?
Thanks in advance,
AH

Hello Experts,
Pleasure to meet you all through this forum. This is my first reply to a question.
Mr. Chuan Lee, try the following and let me know if it works to your issue.
1. Choose the document that you would print and choose the PLD icon.
2.Click the field on the Print Layout Design on the left and then check the Font and Size in the Format Tab of the Properties window on to your right below field Index window.
3. If it is differing from what you are expecting, change and font and size and save the changes.
4. Check the box " Block Overall Font Change" below the Font&Size property fields.
5. Save your preferences.
I think it should work.
Experts correct me if i am wrong. Appreciate me if I am right.
All the best Chuan lee.

Incorrect font in Preview

Every now and again I have an issue with the incorrect fonts showing in Preview but not in Adobe Acrobat. Instead of showing what I think should be Arial of Helvetica it shows in an rounded italic font.
Any ideas?

Ah ha, I've found what the problem was. I had a font called "Helvetica" in Linotype Explorer X which was showing up in the program as Helvetica Rounded Italic for some strange reason. So Preview must have been reading from that and displaying incorrectly. I've deleted the problem font and all is good.
