Fonts not working

I've searched the forum and i'm stumped.
the problem: switching fonts in pages (v.1.2) does NOTHING>no font changes occur on the page. the words are highlighted and the same documents work fine on my tibook. i've treid reinstalling pages and panther.
ps. all fonts work fine in textedit. i'm totally baffled.
here's some background:
in an effort to stabalize my fiance's pismo, i downgraded from tiger to panther. i've got it up to 10.3.9 and it is stable. mostly, except for the pages issue above. I DID use backup and restore a bunch of pref's and settings. i'm not sure if that might have something to do w/ it.
pismo Mac OS X (10.3.9) 768ram

Try checking your fonts using the "Validate Font" command in Fontbook.
If that doesn' work, you could actually check your fonts using Font Doctor: http://morrisonsoftdesign.com/with_fl/index-7.html
Although this is rather expensive. :-/

Why does set font not work in report generation toolkit?

I would like to change font and underline when inserting text into a Microsoft Word document. I have tried using the
"Set Report Font" vi directly in front of an "Append Report Text" vi in my own application. The inserted text at the bookmark is always in the default text mode
of the document. Is this a bug?
I also tried the find and replace vi with the same result. Font will not change.
I also cannot find any examples of this usage that work. See example vi file below.
Save at C:\ or adjust the template location accordingly in the vi.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Chris

That's a cool tool Ben! However, with a bookmark, you know the location on a Word Template, and if you know the location in MS Word, you can then set the fonts you want in Word.
Do you know how to change the fonts in a string?
Example, How do you insert this block of text on a SINGLE MS Word bookmark?
PART NUMBER: 1234567890
DESCRIPTION: These lines are formated dynamically, some orders may have 1 PN, and other orders many have 500 PNs.
I'm formatting my line details and inserting them on a MS Word bookmark. After the initial bookmark I have no more control of the fonts for the entire string block. I'd like to dynamically change the fonts in a string and I'd like to use MS Word. I saw HTML report writing, but, in my particular application, HTML reports will not work.
Doug
I don't have the time to try anything but as a suggestion I would experiment with the range start end properties (e.g. from start =0 to end =
12 bold is true, from 13 to 23 bold is false, ....) You first insert text without formatting then you use the range start and end to format the text.
I'm not sure it will work but it's worth a try.
Ben64
note: I would create a 2D array of start and end index of your string and auto-index a for loop that contain the range property node.

New fonts not working in photoshop...

I have installed new fonts on my mac but they will not work in Photoshop.. can somoene help me? I don't know if I have done something wrong or need to take another step.. I am running CS4 and OS 10.6.4. The message I get when I try to use a font I recently installed is "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intitalized." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most likely you have some corrupt fonts installed.
Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems.

Armenian Mshtakan font not working in MS Word

Hello,
I am able to use the Armenian Mshtakan font on a Macbook pro using OS 10.7.5 only in Text Edit. It will not work in MS Word.
Is there any way to get Mshtakan font to work in MS Word for Mac? Currently using MS Office 2011.
Microsoft's website states that it does not support custom fonts due to security issues, and yet there are some custom fonts that DO work in
Word, Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
I've tried clearing the cache file for MS Office Preferences, tried copying the font in fontbook to the Microsoft fonts folder. None of these things have worked.
Thanks!

I've got the same problem.
Have you found the solution yet?

Copperplate Gothic font not working in some versions of Firefox

Copperplate Gothic font not properly working in some versions of Firefox. whereas perfectly working in remaining browsers. when I follow the instruction and Restart Firefox in Safe Mode, the problem does not happen in Safe Mode. According to instruction for Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems, If problem not occur in Safe Mode, it is most likely because of hardware acceleration. when I Turn off hardware acceleration, the problem is no longer happening, then hardware acceleration is likely the cause of this issue. How i can fix this issue for Firefox on deployed site without changing font.

Does Firefox use another font instead?
If this is the case then which font?
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

Font not working in Illustrator

Hi
I have a problem with a font, which is not working illustrator.
Yes, I have installed it on the computer (C:\Windows\Fonts), and the font is working fine in InDesign..
I have tried to place it in the Illustator folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Required\Fonts
re-statring the computer, but still not working.
I'm wokring on a PC with Windows 7
Please heeeelp me..
Thank you.

It wouldn't hurt to clarify what you mean by "not working."
Does that mean you can see it and select it in the font menu, but then it somehow subsequently fails to __________ ... ?
Or, do you mean it doesn't appear in the font menu? (Please be sure you check the entire font menu, and not just where you expect it to appear via alphabetical order.)

Using AS Linkage name for embedded font not working in CS6

"Myriad Pro" with bold and italic styles embedded with the linkage names "Body", "BodyBold" and "BodyItalic".
Creating a TextField using Flash CS6's toolbar and setting its font to "Body*" works fine, but not when its htmlText value has <b> and <em>, etc, tags.
This also does not work:
style.setStyle(".something", {fontFamily:"BodyBold"});
... but this does:
style.setStyle(".something", {fontFamily:"Myriad Pro Bold"});
Using the AS Linkage name worked in prior versions. I like using them because I can change global fonts for "stage" elements.

Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.

Embedded CFF font not working in TLF in latest stable build and higher (4.0.0.13875)

We are using embedded fonts with the TLF framework and since upgrading to the latest nightly build or the stable build, it stopped working. Here is a short example:

Cyrillic (cp1251) font not working

Hello all!
I installed a cyrillic font called ER Kurier 1251, but it works for English characters only. Some other font is used to display Russian characters, as if Mac OS X didn't find them in this font.
Although, when I browse this font in Font Book, Russian letters are there!
Can anybody make it work?
Anton
Here's the link to the font:
http://brama.com/compute/mac/fonts/ERKurier1251.hqx
(I used the free Unarchiever utility to unpack it, because the Mac OS's standard utility didn't extract them correctly. Also I can e-mail the unpacked file to those you will be interested.)
And here's another post that I came upon, which may shed some light on the problem:
"Regarding the compatibility of old Cyrillic TrueType fonts working with OS X, there is a bug in how OS X reads these fonts: they surely continue to work as such, but even if such fonts were recognized by Mac OS 9 to be compatible with the Cyrillic language kit, this does not necessarily mean that these fonts will be recognized by OS X as Cyrillic fonts - they may be treated as Latin fonts (in OS 9 terms: fonts for the Roman Script) simply containing Cyrillic characters - and then you loose the ability to switch fonts in apps that are Unicode-aware.
The issue actually depends on how such fonts were created, and the bug affects fonts consisting of several weights that were grouped into a font family (so that you can select the weight by applying the appropriate style)."

That doesn't seem to help. I already have Russian (Cyrillic Mac)keyboard layout, which came with Mac OS X. Now I have downloaded ER Kurier Mac (which is in Mac Cyrillic encoding). Still not working...
The keyboard layouts that Apple provides with OS X are Unicode only. To type with a font in a legacy encoding you must install something else which maps the character codes 128-255 (hex 80-FF) used for Cyrillic in the legacy charset to the normal keys.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCyrillic_encoding
Whether such layouts will function correctly is another question, but it is worth a try. You could even try making one yourself for cp 1251 using Ukelele.

Font not working after loading snow leopard.

My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard. Is there any way to fix this?

I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
If you want to check it with Font Book, use File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
For the real font, go to

"Ultramagnetic" font not working

I'm working on a HUGE project which uses the PostScript font "Ultramagnetic." The font jumbles all the words together like this:
Thisisacorporatefontsousingsomethingdifferentisoutofthequestion.
The font works fine in Word, Quark, InDesign, etc. (It does NOT work in Keynote which makes me wonder if it's an entire iWork issue)
I've tried everything under the sun. This is a corporate font so using something different is out of the question.
Does anyone have a solution or know the best way to inform Apple of this issue?
Thank you!!

Corporations can claim support for type product that is correctly licenced. The professional procedure for you is not to post on a public list, but to inform your client of the problem, and ask your client to please consult the End User Licence Agreement. Of course, it is not uncommon in corporations to find that there is no understanding (outside the IT Department) that type product is subject to licence and that, if tampered with e.g. in a primitive font editor or in a professional fond editor used primitively, can become corrupt whereby warrant is forfeit.
By the bye, the Adobe Type 1 font program dictionary format is a dinosaur in the family of reprosauria.
Also be very, very, very careful with Linotype. Under Heidelberg, and under the current owners, the company has mass manufactured and mass marketed type product not only in Adobe Type 1 format, but also in TrueType and OpenType format that overrides the source character string. In professional prepress in Germany it is considered that under German law customers can claim the cost of the type product.

Up/Down Arrow While Selecting Font - Not Working

Does anyone know why the up down arrows don't work in Illustrator for selecting fonts?
I'm on a mac running CS5.
It does not work with CS3 either. When I first installed CS5 it was working but then quit a few weeks later.
It works in photoshop, just not illustrator.
Check out the video

Did anyone mention it doesn't work on a Mac...anyone?
The OP must be thinking of Photoshop

Added Font Not Working

Hi, I am new here. I just purchased a font (Boycot) and added it to my "fonts" folder. It works great in MS Word, but doesn't seem to work in Photoshop. I have CS2 and I'm using a PC. When I select the text tool and then the "Boycot" font, I see only blank spaces (if that) and then I get an error message. The two messeges are: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialised." or "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Other font's work fine and as I said... the "Boycot" font works in other programs like MS Word.
Thanks!

Now he tells us! You do realise it's now Year 2000+9 don't you?
Anyway, do a normal OS search for Adobefnt*.lst (that's .LST!) and delete all instances.

Installed Font not working

I found the Font Book and the font I want to use - Apple Symbols. I've tried a dozen different ways to get this font to work in WORD or APPLEWORKS, but it never shows up anywhere but in the Font Book. It even shows up as 'INSTALLED', but it still won't show up anywhere else? I've googled instructions, but they all tell me to just go to Font Book, double clik the font, hit INSTALL when the window opens and go for it. But nothing happens.
Where I would like it - In WORD there under the INSERT pull-down is a menu item labelled SYMBOLS. If I could get this font in there I'd be a REAL happy camper!
On a related topic, all my fonts in the WORD fontlist seem triple-spaced when I scroll up and down. What's up with that?
Love my new MacMini G4 - who knew they could put a whole computer in a chocolate box? Of course, who ever thought they could put a hundred LPs in a credit card?

Welcome to the Discussions!
Apple Symbols is indeed a rather special font. On my Macs, it does not even show up in Font Book. Word 2004, as you discovered, does not recognize it as a symbol font. In order to use this font, you need to open System Preferences (Apple menu) and go to the International pane. There, in the Input Menu tab, enable the Character Palette and check the box for showing the input menu. After closing System Preferences, you should have a flag icon on the RH side of the menu bar. Select the Character Palette for many options for examining all the glyphs available and inserting them into compatible programs. I would recommend TextEdit rather than Word for experimenting.
