Safe easy method of changing fonts in a custom template :TIP

This might have been covered before but here is a tip I have worked out. If you have a custom template and you would like to change the font of any styles do the following:
Quit active applications
Go to the Library>fonts folder (both user and system) and move the font you would like to replace to somewhere safe. (eg desktop)
Open Pages and select the "my" template you want to change. Choose Review from the warning dialogue. Substitute the missing fonts with font of choice.
Save as new template (or overwrite the original)
quit Pages
return fonts to font folder
Done!!
This method obviously works for missing fonts and if the missing font is automatically substituted by Pages, ensure that font is temporarily removed too.

I was thrilled to see the font substitution feature in all of iWork. iWork'06 made it near to impossible to get rid of that error message and find the problem font. Well done Apple!
iWork '08 is awesome!

Changing font to a custom font - styleddocument

hello
i've been trying to change the font in a styleddocument to a custom one that is not registered on the pc
(i'm trying to make an application that holds the fonts in a folder, so that they can be dynamically loaded when needed)
until now nothing worked
i've tried 2 ways atm:
        JTextPane background = new JTextPane();
        StyledDocument styledDoc = background.getStyledDocument();
        if (styledDoc instanceof AbstractDocument) {
            doc = (AbstractDocument)styledDoc;
        } else {
            System.err.println("Text pane's document isn't an AbstractDocument!");
        initAttributes();
        background.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        background.setEditable(false);
        File file = new File("fonts/mCode15.ttf");
     FileInputStream fis = null;
        Font font = null;
        try {
            fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fis);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (FontFormatException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MatrixWindow.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        background.setFont(font);    // FAILS
        SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet();
        StyleConstants.setFontSize(attrs, 12);
        StyleConstants.setBold(attrs, true);
        StyleConstants.setForeground(attrs, Color.WHITE);
        StyleConstants.setFontFamily(font.getFontFamily);      // FAILSdoes anybody know any working solution for CUSTOM fonts?

You should override public Font getFont(AttributeSet attr) method to return proper font with attributes.
See how it works in src of DefaultStyledDocument class.

How do I change Fonts or manipulate text I am writing on Firefox? Is there a toolbar, or extension I can get to have easy access to these type of tools?

When writing comments or sending messages,etc., I would like to be able to have access to text options such as; bold, underline, change font, font size,color, etc. I've seen others do this but cannot find anything on my desktop to allow me these write tools.

Orange Firefox button>Options>Options>Security, Privacy etc.
If the Firefox button isn't showing - right click on a toolbar space and uncheck the Menu Bar, this will reveal the Firefox button and you can toggle from one to the other.
Or, in the Menu Bar>Tools>Options.

How to change font/ font color etc in a graphic object using JCombobox?

Hello
My program im writing recently is a small tiny application which can change fonts, font sizes, font colors and background color of the graphics object containing some strings. Im planning to use Jcomboboxes for all those 4 ideas in implementing those functions. Somehow it doesnt work! Any help would be grateful.
So currently what ive done so far is that: Im using two classes to implement the whole program. One class is the main class which contains the GUI with its components (Jcomboboxes etc..) and the other class is a class extending JPanel which does all the drawing. Therefore it contains a graphics object in that class which draws the string. However what i want it to do is using jcombobox which should contain alit of all fonts available/ font sizes/ colors etc. When i scroll through the lists and click the one item i want - the graphics object properties (font sizes/ color etc) should change as a result.
What ive gt so far is implemented the jcomboboxes in place. Problem is i cant get the font to change once selecting an item form it.
Another problem is that to set the color of font - i need to use it with a graphics object in the paintcomponent method. In this case i dnt want to create several diff paint.. method with different property settings (font/ size/ color)
Below is my code; perhaps you'll understand more looking at code.
public class main...
Color[] Colors = {Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN};
        ColorList = new JComboBox(Colors);
ColorList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
                 JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ev.getSource();
                Color colorType = (Color)cb.getSelectedItem();
                drawingBoard.setBackground(colorType);
          });;1) providing the GUI is correctly implemented with components
2) Combobox stores the colors in an array
3) ActionListener should do following job: (but cant get it right - that is where my problem is)
- once selected the item (color/ font size etc... as i would have similar methods for each) i want, it should pass the item into the drawingboard class (JPanel) and then this class should do the job.
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel {
       private String message;
       public DrawingBoard() {
              setBackground(Color.white);
              Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, fontSize);
              setFont(font);
              message = "";
       public void setMessage(String m) {
            message = m;
            repaint();
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
              super.paintComponent(g);
              //setBackground(Color.RED);
              Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
              g2.setRenderingHint
              g2.drawString(message, 50, 50);
       public void settingFont(String font) {
            //not sure how to implement this?                          //Jcombobox should pass an item to this
                               //it should match against all known fonts in system then set that font to the graphics
      private void settingFontSize(Graphics g, int f) {
                     //same probelm with above..
      public void setBackgroundColor(Color c) {
           setBackground(c);
           repaint(); // still not sure if this done corretly.
      public void setFontColor(Color c) {
                //not sure how to do this part aswell.
               //i know a method " g.setColor(c)" exist but i need to use a graphics object - and to do that i need to pass it in (then it will cause some confusion in the main class (previous code)
       My problems have been highlighted in the comments of code above.
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!!!

It is the completely correct code
I hope that's what you need
Just put DrawingBoard into JFrame and run
Good luck!

How do I change fonts in a Text field ??

Okay I've tried to implement a JComboBox that allows the user to change fonts in the text field. So far I've tried different methods to do it but to no avail. Could somebodoy here read the programs source code for me and tell me where I went wrong?

How do I change font colors in the navigation bar

I'm designing a new website for my son's high school lacrosse team. It looks great, and I hope to upload it in the next week. The one thing that I haven't been able to do is change the font colors and font type in the page navigation links a the top of the pages. Can anyone help me with this?

I outlined methods to change iweb navbar in this thread:

How to change fonts in iCal?

How to change fonts in iCal? I can't harly read my calendar-tiny print size. How could I change the font size?

Your question really got me thinking. Actually, I don't think you should feel like an idiot at all. I think it is Apples failure that they made this difficult. Seriously, who would ever think to press Command and arrow to switch months? The little arrows next to the word Today are so small and inconspicuous that I remember having this very same question when I started using iCal too.
So, here is what I did to make it easier for my wife that uses iCal too.
Open System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts Tab, and finally Application Shortcuts.
Click on the Plus symbol under the right hand pane.
Select iCal from the Application list
Add two shortcuts: One named Next and the other named Previous and press your desired Keyboard Shortcut.
I assigned the left arrow and right arrow for these tasks.
Now it makes more sence for someone that is not used to Apples idotic way of doing things. ;-)
I use keyboard shortcuts all over the place. Actually, sometimes it gets me into trouble when I use someone elses computer and my shortcuts don't work. I blame their computer for it and forget it was my "tuning".

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Change font size of WEBGUI in SAP ERP

Hi all,
I need to change font size of WEBGUI in SAP ERP.
It is easy to change it in Webgui of SAP BI, using Internet Explorer functionalities (View -> Text size -> Largest), but same procedure doesn't work for transactional SAP modules (i.e. SAP HR).
Do you know how I can change the font?
Alternatively, do you know if it exists any patch or support package to resolve the problem with IE?
Thank you in advance,
regards
katia

Hi Katia,
there is - as far as I know - no way to change the fonts size of the WebGUI screens. The way the lay-out of the Dynpro screens and its controls is determined does not allow to scale by different font sizes.

I want to change fonts but get message "no available system font"

I am trying to edit a PDF flyer created by another party. Using Acrobat Pro on Mac OSX. I select "edit document text" and then try to delete or change the text and get the message. "all or part of the selection has no available system font You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font"
I don't see any font format bar or other method of changing the font.
Is there a way to work this?

Over at the AUC's "Acrobat Answers" Karl Kremer replied to a similar question.
In part he wrote:
"I assume you want to edit content in a PDF file, and you cannot do that because you don't have the font installed that is used in that file. That is the way Acrobat works: You need to have the font that is used in your document installed on your local computer in order to make changes to text that uses that font. There is no way around that. You will have to find out what font is used for the text you need to edit, and then acquire that font (and that usually means to purchase that font, unless you are a subscriber to e.g. CC and that font is available via TypeKit).
Another option is to select all the text and change that text to a different but similar font. You again can only use a font that is available on your computer as the target font. But once you've done that, you should be able to edit your document.
You change the font by selecting Tools>Content Editing>Edit Text & Images, then you select the text you want to change, and your target font."
Be well...

Change Font in TextArea

Hello,
I'm working on a small Editor-App and I just want to add the oppurtunity to change fonts. I'm using a TextArea and it should be possible to change the font for parts of the TextArea, not just for the whole one.
Thanks for your solutions

The java.awt.TextArea doesn't support multiple fonts in a single TextArea. AFAIK, if you want to use java.awt, you'll have to write your own. The javax.swing text classes make it easier.
