10.4.4 and MS Word Font Problems

On Tuesday of last week, I installed the 10.4.4 system update into my 450 MHz Power/PC G4 tower. Following the installation all of my Mircosoft applications (Word, Excel, etc) are crashing whenever I try an access their font menus. For some reason the system update must have changed the calls out to the fonts and the MS products are now all confused. If I do succeed in opening the font menu in Word (without the program shutting down), it is displayed as unintelligible garbage - in Excel the font menu appears with several font menus overlaid on top of one another making it impossible to distinguish which font is selected. It appears none of my other applications are similarly effected.
I have already attempted the following fixes with NO success:
- re-installed Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac applications (twice)
- updated to the most recent version of Word, Excel, etc.
- trashed Font libraries and re-installed in various sequences
- used disk utility to repair permissions
- re-installed 10.4.4 using Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 COMBO installer
Any thoughts? Are other people reporting this problem? Can I download the 10.4.3 system update and run the installation (to go back to 10.4.3 from 10.4.4) or will that just screw everything up????

Thanks again Libertine for your replies. I had tried zapping the PRAM and saw the other comments already. None of it seemed to help. The drive would mount on the desktop, but usually spin down and back up after a few minutes. So on Saturday I decided to try to copy everything off it onto another drive. Since it usually would go too long before glitching I decided to copy one folder at a time. Numerous times it would glitch in the middle of a copy and I would have to unplug it and plug it back in then start the copy of that folder all over again. On several folders I found that it would glitch on the same file (digital photo) every time. If I removed the one offending file it would copy the entire folder. I have no idea what that's about. They were photo files and I could open and view the photo fine. So who knows. Anyway, I managed to get it all copied to a new drive. Now it gets real interesting. I did nothing else but to copy the files to a new drive. And since then the drive has not glitched even once. I am totally baffled. First Aid had said the drive was OK and DiskWarrior had no problems with it. I had optomized the directories on it a couple days before I upgraded to 10.4. So who knows? I guess it will remain a mystery. Once again, thanks for all your suggestions.

Urgent – QuarKXpress 8 and Type 1 Font Problem Under 10.6

Hi,
I'm currently using Mac OS X 10.6 with QuarkXpress 8.1.6. on a Mac Pro.
When I open a document created in QuarkXpress 7.5 in QuarkXpress 8.1.6, some of the text is not flush with the top of its text box. It seems to have moved down by a millimetre or two. Also, when I copy text boxes that appear to be correct and paste them into a new page layout, the same problem occurs, where the text again appears to have moved down within its text box. Some older files created in QuarkXpress 6.5 seem to open okay.
*The QuarkXpress known issues page says the following: Mac OS 10.6 only – Due to a change in Apple's APIs, text that uses Type 1 fonts may display increased vertical spacing when you open a project in Snow Leopard.*
I've spoken to Quark's technical support team who have advised me to update my OS to version 10.6.3. to see if this corrects the problem.
Does anyone have the same issues and will updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3 correct the problem? If not, I'm in a bit of a predicament.
As usual, any advice would be great – thanks!

Caveat to this post:
I don't use Quark, but I'd believe the author's own suggestions.
That said, before upgrading to 10.6.3, consider that you may not have full compatibility with 10.6.3 in other software. You may want to make a test bootable hard drive with just Quark on it, to see if it solves your problem and then check to see if all your other essential applications and drivers run as expected. Quark has its own forums here:
http://forums.quark.com/
Where I'd ask the questions to see what other users have been using to fix the issue.

Wine and yet another font problem

So I upgraded my system (had to load lots of stuff, Xorg, Wine, the kernel..) and now my Wine fonts look like this:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/anpurola/winecfg.png
Some fonts are ok, but most of them are unreadable. I mostly run poker clients. I tried to delete my .wine directory, and install fonts again with winetricks, didn't help.
Does this have something to do with the new Xorg? I had to remove RgbPath and AutoAddDevices from xorg.conf BTW, to get it work.

Wow it works! Thank you! Too bad if some of you still have problems.. BTW I'm using nvidia-96xx driver.
edit: Now that I tried different programs, I noticed some of the graphics won't work For example, I don't see any buttons in programs such as Spotify or Full Tilt Poker client..
Whoa thanks. It worked for me too.

[Solved] Gnome shutdown and logout menu font problem

Hi All,
When I click shutdown or logout options under System, the popup window apears as normal, but the there is no readable font/ characters. The characters look like what you see when you open a binary in a text editor, just thin little squares where the text should be. All other menus and text are working fine.
Any idea?

Flash Font Problems

I'm using Flash CS4 and have wasted--over the course of the past 18 months--at least three days of work time trying, in vain, to make Flash fonts work completely consistently.
Problems: 1) Fonts don't appear after FontAgent activation (must copy to Adobe/Fonts folder), 2) Bits of styled type totally disappear on compile (haven't figured this one out and try to avoid certain faces), 3) and most recently, totally bizarre font display (looks like egg thrown against the wall), which, despite verifying the fonts, replacing them (even though they checked out fine), cleaning the font caches (with Font Finagler, nee Font Cache Cleaner), doing a million restarts and praying, are still screwed up.
One possible common thread is that these seems to be OpenType fonts. But the errors are totally inconsistent -- for example, the font with #3 above had worked fine for nearly a year before becoming hopelessly destroyed in the past five hours, and only *some* characters in #2 disappear.
I'm posting here mostly out of frustration, since previous posts on similar issues haven't yielded decent (working) solutions and Googling these problems (ad nauseam) mostly shows people using either different font managers (or none at all) or working with dynamic text. (Mine is static text.)
But perhaps someone has a definitive resource/recipe for troubleshooting and solving these font problems?
Or perhaps someone could shed some light on why Adobe uses separate font folders and caches?

OK, well! It seems that I'm **not** crazy. I just read in TidBITS today that what I saw last week was related to a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7, which apparently fixed some font security problems, but broke something having to do with OpenType fonts. I guess I made the mistake of being on the bleeding edge.
http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078
I stick by my general complaint, however. Adobe or some good member of the community should create a definitive resource for understanding and solving font problems in Flash. I've spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions in Adobe help docs, in questions posted on these forums, and Googling for solutions -- and have seen many, many others expressing my same frustration of wasted time and so-so answers. Since fonts are critical to pretty much every Flash project, this should be information that is **easy** to find.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

Word break problems when typing in Asian fonts like 'Nepali and Hindi'

Hi!
I have to type Nepali and Hindi words but the words break unnecessarily. Is there any option in InDesign CS4 to control it? I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
How to fix it? Any idea will be highly respected.
I'm using Vista 32-bit with SP2.
Thanks.

Option #1: do not hyphenate the text at all. You don't say if this is all Nepali/Hindi, or mainly English text with some foreign words -- if there is no English text at all, you could disable hyphenation entirely.
Option #2: Do Not Break. If you are using character styles for the Nepali/Hindi text (for example, because you need to change the font), you could apply No Break to the entire string. Don't do this if it's more than a few words, though (or treat the spaces inbetween differently).
Option #3: Create a GREP style with just No Break in it. Then apply this to Nepali/Hindi text runs only -- http://indesignsecrets.com/search-for-foreign-language-characters-in-text.php shows you how.
I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
There must be a difference in the default word breaking algorithm. I wouldn't have guessed ID would break text with dedicedly foreign character sets applying its default hypenation rules, but there you go.

Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

Acrobat 9 and Indesign Std 5 Frutiger TT Font Problems

I have several Acrobat 9 users with the Frutiger TT Fonts installed and working fine
I have two Acrobat 9 and Indesign 5 std users with Frutiger TT Fonts installed and they won't work most of the time when doing the following...
They are converting Word 2003 into PDF with Acrobat but where the Frutiger Font is used it leaves out words or sometimes paragraphs.
Any other font is OK just Frutiger that has the problem and only on PC's that have Indesign installed.
All other PC's that only have Acrobat 9 installed will convert the Word doc to PDF using the Frutiger Font.
Naturally I have Uninstalled and reinstalled all products in several different ways to overcome this issue.
In one case I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and the Frutiger Fonts. Reinstalled both and all appeared to work fine for a whole day.
The PC was turned off at the end of the day and when turned back on for use the next day the problem had returned.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Rave,
I have not tried creating another user Account but I have since uninstalled the whole CS Suite (used CC cleaner and manually going through all the native prefs and deleting them etc). Afterwhich, I did a fresh install and both softwares, including PS, Br and Ai, have been working flawlessly for weeks now.
cheers

Font problems in Office 2008 and iLife 2009

I've been using a Mac for years, and have never had so many problems before. I'm am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a 2006 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook. I recently did the 6.2 update last night, as I was hoping it would solve problems that I had been having. It actually made it worse.
Whenever I try to start up either Word or Powerpoint in Office 2008, the "Optimizing font performance" text pops up on the Word/Powerpoint startup window, taking around 30 seconds to a minute to fully load the program, while the beachball spins away (I have 600+ fonts, but it still shouldn't do this). I've Googled this problem before, and came up with the solution to uncheck "WYSIWYG font and style menus" in the Word preferences menu. However, with the update last night, it's gone back to the "Optimizing font performance" text every time I start up the program.
I've even gone as far to clean up the font cache in Onyx, repair permissions in Disk Utility, repair any problem fonts, fix duplicates of fonts, and even go into the Office Library folders and delete the font caches by hand (as recommended by Microsoft).
Also, I've just started having problems with iLife, including Pages. Whenever I try to open a new blank document or saved document, Pages freezes up, and I have to force quit. When I look into my processes (using iStat Nano), the font cache is running at 90% or higher.
I'm very confused and not sure what to do next besides backing up my data and reinstalling Snow Leopard altogether. A HUGE thanks to anyone that can help me!

"Optimizing font performance" text pops up on the Word/Powerpoint startup window ... (I have 600+ fonts, but it still shouldn't do this)
It shouldn't take quite that long, but that still is a lot of fonts to have open at once.
It seems to have worked for Word, but trying to open a blank document in Pages causes it to crash. Keynote opens a blank or template-based document, but as soon as I try to click to edit text, it crashes.
Office and Pages/Keynote are completely unrelated to each other, vendor wise. Something is going on at the OS level to affect multiple apps from both Apple and Microsoft.
It may not be as simple as this, but try removing all font cache data from your Mac. Download the Snow Leopard version of OnyX. Click the Cleaning heading and then the Fonts tab. Check all items (except Gimp if you're not using that), then click Execute. When it's done clearing the cache files from the system, it will tell you to restart. Do not skip that step!
After the Mac restarts, check to make sure OnyX has removed the Office cache files. Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Font problem with Montserrat and Maven Pro from google

Seems like some fonts don't render as they should in Firefox 29.0.1. I tried to use google web fonts like Montserrat and Maven Pro, no problem with downloading but this fonts don't look good.
I tried to install Montserrat to my Windows 7 (64) and deactivated css so that FF runs the font but same problem occurs.
A really strange problem is that from my computer at work this fonts don't work from FF or Chrome, all versions of IE is fine.
At home i have a laptop with same OS and version of FF and from home it works! But not Chrome..
I have search on the net and at your support site but haven't find any answers yet.
You can look at http://arenago.axiell.com for your self. Below is troubleshooting information from my version of FF where this problems occurs (Sorry about the Swedish)

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

Ugh.
MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages. Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated. System: 10.10.1

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages. Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated. System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)

The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image). Here is the what I found for a search of "mouse cursor flickers os x yosemite"

What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse?
