10.4.8 does not recognize postscript fonts- help!

I have a new Mac Pro running 10.4.8, and I have copied all the fonts I used on my old G4 running 10.4.3 into the appropriate place on my hard drive. However, the postscript fonts don't seem to be available to my applications, and I can't activate them through Suitcase Fusion either. When I click on a font and go to Get Info, they are not showing as Postscript Type 1 fonts like on my old Mac, but as text files!
I really need the Postscript fonts as I need to send jobs to print, what can I do??
Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

In the past, I have experienced difficulties copying fonts from one machine to another (or more often to removable media, to go to print) when Suitcase has been active on the source machine. My experience is that you end up only copying part of older fonts.
Try quitting Suitcase on the source machine and then copy over a small selection of the problematic fonts. Then activate them through Suitcase on your new machine and see if they are now available to your apps.
I hasten to add that I quit using Suitcase sometime ago, so this might not actually be the cause of your problem but its worth a shot. I switched to Font Explorer X ('cause its free and a more than adequate replacement!) some time ago and would never look back.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not recognize system font

    I scanned a document to pdf, opened it in Acrobat X Pro and then applies OCR to the image by clicking Edit in the OCR dialogue and chose ClearScan. I then went to edit the text, but when I clicked on a selection, a TouchUp dialogue box popped up stating, “All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.”  The font used in the document was Arial 10 pt. Does Acrobat not recognize that font? Is there any way to edit this pdf's text?   

    I still haven't got a sense of what exactly you are after, since you are not only talking about settings with visible OCRd text. But my results partly support yours, partly not. My tests were with Acrobat X, your mileage may vary.
    OCR with searchable image... the image contained standard fonts, which I could freely edit. No problem, except of course that the results didn't change on screen. I could also correct OCR suspects, which is the editing Adobe are expecting you to do.
    OCR with cleartext... the image contained generated fonts, which I couldn't change. I don't see this as a security thing, rather that Acrobat has generated synthetic fonts which match the exact appearance of the scan, and has no idea what the original font was. I can't edit these, because I don't have the font. (If it let me edit them I suspect it would fail horribly, because the generated font will only contain the letters it believes to be there, not other ones you might need). I can, however, select the text and change the font, then edit the results. There were no OCR suspects, which I find a little odd for the same original, but the OCR was indeed more accurate.
    By the way, I may not have made this comment: editing PDFs is sometimes possible, but it should always be thought of as a desperate last resort. Just be happy the few times you can use it, don't expect much or anything, and you won't be disappointed. If you want to edit scanned text (as opposed to correct OCR) don't scan to PDF.

  • Why mac os does not recognize arabic fonts

    in mac pro using lion os does not support arabic fonts except one font and not like mac photoshop w` recognize a lot of arabic fonts
    why and how to solve

    mahmoudbitar wrote:

    That does not sound correct.  Lion comes with 7 Arabic fonts supported by Apple apps:  Al Bayan, Baghdad, Damascus, Deco Type Naskh, Geeza Pro, Kufi Standard, Nadeem.  Plus a few others which should also work in TextEdit.
    What apps are you trying to use?  MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic.  Instead of that you should use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice.  For Adobe apps for best results you should use the special ME Version designed for RTL scripts.

  • Canvas does not recognize the font Arial Narrow

    After setting the font property on the canvas context to "Arial Narrow", the context does not render text in the desired font. Other browsers (IE9, IE10, IE11, Chrome, Safari) all render Arial Narrow correctly. The css tricks people have mentioned on this site do not work with canvas. Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/txymf/

    Additional font properties like font-stretch:condensed may be required on Windows.

  • ITunes does not recognize ripped CDs-- Help!

    Last night, I ripped (or imported, whatever term you'd like to use) The Wall by Pink Floyd into my iTunes library, and everything was perfectly fine (in fact, i'm listening to it from my library right now).  However, tonight when I tried to rip the rest of my Pink Floyd collection, the music was imported just fine, and appears in Finder when i search it using the This Mac tab, however it does not appear in my iTunes library, even though The Wall did.  What should I do?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Adobe X does not recognize "Ariel" font

    Adobe X is not recognizing an " Ariel" font and displays text in a document as a series of "dots".  Other pdf documents have no problems reading text when I open them.  This event only occurs from a single source providing me with their pdf document where i receive an error message claiming that the Ariel font is not recognized.  What can I do to correct this?

    You may have a different version of Ariel than them (for instance, they're on a Mac and you are not or they have an older version). Have them embed the font information into the PDF.

  • FCE does not recognize Canon GL2--HELP!

    I recently purchased FCE, and this is the first time I've used it for a project. When I originally installed the software, I did not have an external device to set up (I'm using my friend's Canon GL 2).
    I am trying to capture video from the GL2, but whenever I run the easy setup, it says "Unable to loacte the following external devices:, etc."
    The camera is on and set to VCR mode, and properly connected to the computer.
    The really strange thing is that iMovie recognizes and is able to capture from the camera.
    I have tried everything in the manual and the support site to fix this problem. I have reinstalled FCE, I have shut down my computer, turned the camera on and off, then restarted the computer. I have logged in with a different user account and tried it from there. Everything yields the same result.
    Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem?
    It's times like these when you really wish that Apple had free tech support.
    Thanks

    You have reached the free tech support ... lol
    Make sure you are using Firewire BASIC as the camera firewire control protocol.
    Is there a firewire drive between the camera and the computer? Try capturing with the Camera directly connected to the computer. Canon cameras are notorious for their shaky implementation of the firewire protocols and do not play well with other devices on the firewire bus.
    If it still won't capture, Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    Also when you try to capture, make sure the camera is turned on BEFORE you boot the computer.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to open a CS5 file in CC - does not recognize plugin - please help. Just removed old software and replaced with CC yesterday.

    I was having issues with illustrator and it was time to upgrade anyway, so I uninstalled all previous versions of Adobe and upgraded to CC. Now I'm trying to open my old files and the exact error reads, "Could not read the fiel because the plug-in could not understand this file." What plug-in do I need to download? And why wasn't this part of the package in the first place?

    Jeannie,
    The three step reinstallation may be relevant.
    But you could try to create a new document and File>Place the troublesome one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    If it is a corrupt file, there are some more things to try, but in this case it might take too much of the little time before your deadline.
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

    and another similar website,

  • Windows says it does not recognize my ipod HELP please

    Had ipod for 3 days. Worked fine. Last time I docked it, gave me an error message saying it was not recognized becuase it was malfuctioning. Reset, restored, re booted, reinstalled itunes, deleted apple auto update, changed ports, you name it. So I took it back to the store and plugged it into a PC and a mac, using my cable, and it works fine. My other usb devices working fine. I tried a windows restore to when it was working, and for some reason I get another message saying that it cannot be restored (never had that happen before......). Any new ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

  • How can I unlock my daughters ipod.  She had forgotten the code and tried to get in so many times it says ipod disabled.  When I plug it in the computer it does not recognize it.  help please.

    How do you unlock a disabled ipod touch?  My daughter has locked herself out and my computer doen't recognize it when we plug it in.

    When you say it doesent recognize it do you mean it doesent apear what so ever in iTunes?, or do you get a recovery screen?
    If it doesent apear what so ever try having the iPod plugged in and while it is still plugged in hold the power and home button at the same time for 10secounds and see if the device apears when it restarts.
    If the device still doesent apear try another iPod connector.
    Concerning the forgotten password, you will have to put your iPod in recovery mode. A video on how to do this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
    After that click the restore button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
    Once it has finished restore the iPod from a backup which can be found by right-clicking the iPod name in the left of the iTunes window.
    If you have any other questions please ask

  • After downloading iOS 6 ipod is flashing apple and itunes does not recognize

    I tried to download the new iOS 6 for my ipod and now the screen is just white when I tried to reboot it, now it flashes the apple and white screen and itunes does not recognize it.  help?? it is only 8 mos old

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
    - Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

  • Font Book does not recognize fonts in /library/fonts

    I just did an erase and install. I chose to install extra fonts into the system and this wierd problem just started yesterday. Font Book will not recognize the fonts in the /library/fonts folder. Font book will not even install additional fonts in this state. I restarted the computer and that seemed to fix the problem. But now it's back again. I think it happened after I woke the computer from sleep mode, however the problem does not appear everytime I wake the computer up. I noted the following entries in the system log that seem to coincide with the problem after waking the system.
    (after the system is waked)

    Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Well, I'm glad trashing the fonts cache fixed that problem. Font conflicts have been known to totally screw up things like MS Office. Whether or not it could screw up launchd, I don't know. But, if the problem doesn't resurface, then it definitely did.
    However, I'd send a bug report on the launchd crash to Apple and include the crash report. Send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Go to <https://connect.apple.com/MemberSite> and join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Then, go to <https://bugreport.apple.com/>, click on the Login to the Apple BugReporter link (using your ADC username and password), and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering. If your item isn't fixed with a new update, you can fire a follow-up on your original, via e-mail.
