5.0.4 fonts & book order cancellation?
For my first iPhoto book ever, I thought I'd keep it simple: I did not change the default fonts. In iPhoto 5.0.4, for a large travel hardcover, appear to be Didot, Times, Marker Felt. There were no font warnings in the finished project.
I previewed the book pdf that is uploaded, and the text was all there, though it looked different. Nevermind, I thought, and went ahead with the order. Twice I bought the book, and twice now it has been cancelled in the "printing" stage. When I re-opened the project and inspected the fonts, I found they had all been changed -- NOT by me. The fonts were now DFPKanTeiRyu-XB, Song, and Lucinda FAX. I re-set fonts to "default" in the settings, and sure enough, they changed back to Didot, Times, Marker Felt. But now there were font warnings (overflow in a couple of boxes). So I edited to cut down until there were no warnings.
I went to re-assemble the book and some fonts changed back to DFPKanTeiRyu-XB. I re-set again, and re-assembled, and this time the fonts were as selected. I'll see if this one prints without cancellation!
Anybody else experienced this strange behaviour?

The Travel theme is known to be buggy, losing text in the later pages, etc. Try a different theme.

To not display the button in the Customer UI , set profile option, IBE: Enable Order Cancellation in Order Tracker = No, and
Or for B2B users , remove the IBE_CANCEL_ORDER permission (and the IBE_CANCEL_ORGANIZATION_ORDER).
Please advise if you need additional details.

Iphoto book order cancelled - Totally dissatisfying customer service
This message to alert you that Apple might cancel your iPhoto book order for no reason !
This is what just happened to me, leaving me in a totally dissatisfying and frustrating situation, as I did everything to have this book in time for Christmas, had to go through over an hour on the helpline with Customer Services, whose agents are badly informed on the solutions that they can offer you when such mistakes happen ---
I ordered an iphoto book on December 14, in order to have it in time for Christmas.
Nothing was reported wrong or erroneous when I placed the order and uploaded the book. Two days later, Apple cancelled my order without any notification sent to me. I have only learned about it on December 21, worried that my book had not arrived yet. I checked online about my order status, which then said "order cancelled". No explanation why. I waited for Monday December 23 in order to be able to talk from someone at Customer Services. I was then told that my order had been cancelled because one picture and text was overlapping, but they could not tell me exactly which one. It was then suggested to me that I should replace the same order and call back so that they could accelerate the process.
I placed the order and sent the exact same book to Apple again and then called back. Another assistant from Customer Services advised me that there was nothing they could do in order to accelerate the printing and delivery process. All they COULD HAVE offered me was 15% discount, which the first assistant did not mention and which now was too late for me to benefit from since I had already placed the order. Also, I was told that my exact same order did not produce any issue for printing, so that the first cancellation was in fact made without any reason.
This leaves me with the following situation: Although I have placed my first order in time for it to arrive before Christmas, I end up with no Christmas present, over an hour lost on the phone with customer services, no discount, no accelerated printing or delivery process or any other gesture in order for my infuriating situation to be less so, and a photo book that will arrive in early January when I will have already left my family to work abroad again.
I am entirely dissatisfied with the quality of the Apple iphoto book service and Apple customer services. I have not obtained any help or remedy from your customer services although several mistakes had been made on their side.
You are well advised to consider alternatives before spending hours on creating an iphoto book...Anne, that is really outragious. And I cannot understand why the support did nothing to rectify their mistake and help you to get your book printed in time.The support teams at the Print Products Stores probably will not read these these Forums, these are user-to-user discussions. So, to make Apple listen to your justified complaint, use the feedback form.

Font Book disables fonts every time I restart my computer
First, some info on my computer:
- OS X 10.9.3
- Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 version 7.5
- Office 2011 14.4.3
- Suitcase Fusion 5 16.2.0
As a graphic designer, I've accumulated thousands of fonts. In an attempt to clean this up, I recently purchased Suitcase Fusion 5. I transferred the fonts by going into Font Book and selecting "Restore Standard Fonts." I then took the Macintosh HD; Library; "Fonts (Removed)" folder and added those to Suitcase Fusion 5.
Then I went back, and added about five of the removed fonts back into Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts — just because they are fonts I use frequently — as well as the Microsoft folder of fonts.
Now, for some reason, every time I start my computer (I shut down every night before leaving my office) about half of the Microsoft fonts are disabled by font book. The next day I enable them and everything works well and they all show up in both my Adobe and Office programs, but I'd really rather not play that game every morning. Again, almost all of the fonts being disabled are in the Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts; Microsoft folder, but only until the Ms or so, after which point they all show up as enabled and work just fine. And then there are a couple of outliers I've marked with an asterisk, that are just in the typical Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts folder that are also being disabled, the most confusing one being ThirstyRoughTextures.ttf, because the rest of the Thirsty Rough family is working just fine. (This single Thirsty Rough file is the only of the five-or-so fonts that I added back into my library after restoring it to standard fonts that is acting up. The others show up in all programs just fine.)
Anyhow, does anyone know why this might be happening, or how to resolve the issue? Any input would be great, thanks!

*ThirstyRoughTextures.otfI'm fed up with Font Book and ready to remove it.
Just to keep it easily handy, put the Font Book app on an external drive. All other supporting system files for it will still be on the drive, so using it again rather than a third party font manager is as simple as copying FB back into the Applications folder.
It is essential after deleting Font Book to follow the steps in my article to remove the abandoned Font Book database. Even with the main Font Book app removed from the drive, if the database exists, OS X will keep trying to read and use it, and it will interfere with all other font managers.
which seemingly only activates fonts once I open up that extension
Those are extension panels Suitcase adds to apps they've written them for so you don't have to go to the main interface in order to turn fonts on or off. It's a convenience thing to speed up access to your font sets.
what will happen to programs like Microsoft Office that aren't compatible with Fusion?
If you use a panel in the Adobe apps to turn any fonts on or off, all apps system wide will see the changes in available fonts since that's how it works with any manager. Or, you can launch the main Suitcase interface to do the same thing.
MS Office has an annoying quirk I haven't seen with any other app. It will not pay attention to any fonts you've activated or deactivated after Word has been launched. That's not a Suitcase issue, it's any font manager. Office simply does not keep tabs on available fonts while in use. To see fonts you've activated after Word is already running, you have to quit Word and relaunch it. Same with turning fonts off. Doesn't matter that they're not available any more. If they were when you launched Word, they'll continue to show in the list. Attempting to use one of course doesn't work. It types in Arial, or something, but not what you chose since it can't.
Is FontBook irrelevant and Office/any other program still just utilizes the actual HD/Library/Fonts folder without it?
When font management is working as it supposed to, all apps (save Office) will change the list of fonts you can use as you turn them on or off. It used to be, way back in Tiger, 10.4 (before 10.4.3) and earlier that any fonts in the System or main Library folder were available all the time with no way to control them, other than physically deleting fonts from those folders. This is still true of the System's Fonts folder. -
I am trying to find out if my Font Book has Crashed. My Illustrator all of a sudden would stop responding, uninstalled it and reinstalled. But I get the following error when I tried to create a PDF:
The font Futura could not be imbedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroked key will not be visible. It says this about all of the fonts in my document. And they are messed up on the screen also.
In word, it takes forever to load, it seems to stall for awhile when it gets the Font info. And when I look in the drop down menu for the fonts, they are all jumbled on top of each other, and when I scroll down to the bottom, it has weird distortion stuff, nothing that even looks like a font.
A few months back I downloaded Suitcase by Extensis, but after it installed, I had nothing in my drop down menus for my windows, The drop down menu was empty, I did not even have options for shutting down the computer. It was that way in all my program windows. So I used App Zapper to remove it, but there were plug ins left behind in Illustrator & Indesign. So I manually removed them, and the apps seemed to work fine till 3 weeks ago, when I got the Black Screen on my computer. I wasn't even doing anything, I walked away came back and it was there. Took 2 reboots to get it up, but when I went into any app that has font options it would either not load due to not responding, or it would take forever for it to load.
Also, get some kind of weird language on all the Adobe stuff I have installed on here, the screen says it is displaying in English, but it is definitely not English.Thanx for the reply, although for future reference I prefer warm fuzzy emails, that do not make me want to cry...
Sorry, didn't intend to bring you to tears. It is better to post here though since you may get help from quite a few knowledgeable people.
I am a PC person, so this is my first full time MAC position, which I am not finding rewarding.
This is unusual. Macs are normally very stable. It's hard to tell from here of course what may have led to so much trouble. I still think your first best bet is an Archive and Install. Find the gray OS X installation disk that came with your Mac. If the copy of Tiger you have installed is a retail disk (black with a silver X on it), use that.
For safety's sake, you should first create a backup of your hard drive to an external, or other internal drive if you have one.
Insert the OS X installation disk in your drive. A window will appear for it when it mounts. Double click the icon to install OS X. The Mac will reboot to the CD/DVD for you. When it's ready, you'll first get the option of which language to use. Continue to the next screen. I can't remember how quickly the option you need comes up, but I think it's after which hard drive you choose to install OS X to. Anyway, look for a button that brings up a choice as to how OS X is installed. You'll find a choice for Archive and Install. Make sure to also select the option to preserve your settings and preferences. Continue with the installation.
When it's done, you'll have fresh install os OS X on the hard drive. Apply all available updates. You'll also find a folder marked Previous System. That's everything the Archive and Install replaced. You can trash that. That will take care of any problems with the OS itself.
I had Illustrator loaded previously, using all of the same fonts, embedding all fonts, including Futura, and this is the first time I ever saw this message. I do not have this message is InDesign, instead I get "You might not be able to print w/.... or stroke its characters because the fonts outline file is missing". And then when I go to PDF it says it could not embed the fonts due to the missing "Outline File". What the heck is an "Outline File"???? And how do I get one?
Ah, so the Illustrator message is probably incorrect. On the PC, I'm sure you're aware that a Type 1 PostScript font is made up of two files for each type face. One with a .pfm extension, and the other with .pfb. Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts are made up of two parts. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.
So in your case, you have the suitcase of bitmap screen fonts, but not the vector outline font for the typeface you're using. Hence the message, "...because the fonts outline file is missing". Since so many of the fonts you're trying to use won't embed, you probably only have the screen fonts for all of them. -
Font Book does not recognize some Postscript type 1 font files
I am new to OS X and am trying to copy all of the fonts used under OS 9 (using Suitcase) to be available under OS X. I have copied all of my font folders into the correct location, but some of them do not appear in the font list within Font Book, and if I try to use the Add Fonts... menu to select these files they are grayed out.
The Finder shows all the problem fonts to be "PostScript Type 1 outline font", just as for the files which do work. Is there any reason some files may not work in the Font Book? Note that if the files are corrupted, I don't understand because they were (and still are) working fine under the Classic environment.
I'm not sure, but I don't think any of my TrueType files have similar problems. I have noticed that all of the PostScript Type 1 fonts which do work have an additional suitcase file in the folder, whereas the problem fonts do not. Does Font Book require a suitcase file to properly recognize and use the Type 1 files? I thought that the suitcase only contained the bitmapped fonts which are obsolete to OS X, but that's a guess...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.Hi roxlankford,
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But, as you've noted, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

Hello. I ordered an iPhoto book last week to give to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tonight, I just checked on the order status and found that my book is cancelled. I received no notification about it, and all I could do was fill out the online form, so customer service will get back to me on Monday via email (if I'm lucky...). There is no telephone number for me to call about this. I decided I'd best do some searching to try to figure out what had happened.
I had thought that the preview I saw in iPhoto was the preview of the book. I found out I was wrong. So I created a PDF preview of the book and found some craziness that I don't understand. In iPhoto (and any other program, i.e. PhotoShop), my photos are fine. They are mostly TIFF format and high resolution with a few high res JPEGs. However, when I view the PDF, there is a band of black and white pixelation about 1/2-inch across the bottom of some pages - not all. The photos in that area are messed up in that band zone. The other photos are totally unaffected. This affects both TIFF and JPEG photos, and both black and white and color.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what was your solution? I would be extremely grateful to anyone for advice or information about this! The anniversary party is less than a week away and I'm beyond my limit of stress right now...Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Import enough photos for a book (use some of those in the current book) create a new book and preview as a PDF. If you don't see the problem then it's limited to your library which may be damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.

If you get the same problem in the test library then log into another user account on your Mac, create a test library and try it there. If the problem shows up there a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

If you don't encounter the problem in the other user account then it's something in your account that's the culprit. Post back with the results.

Can I create a PDF with embedded Postscript Type 1 fonts when ordering?
I have Adobe Acrobat Professional version and can set up a Postscript file to be distilled with the proper settings for print. I often do this for professional printers. Are there settings available for book orders, and if so, can I send my own PDF through the iPhoto application somehow? The books need to have a "Prairie/Arts & Crafts" look, and they look much better using some of Postscript fonts I have than anything that came with the system.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPhoto 6Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Some fonts are in library fonts folder, but not in font book or in illustrator
imac/tiger/illustrator11
So I have some fonts that are in library>fonts but do not appear in font book or illustrator font list
also no fonts names listed in attributes, when you highlight font in the artwork, (but does list whether it is regular/bold!)
-also when I go about illustrator(11) it gives me info but locks program and have to force quitType 1 (PostScript) fonts require 2 files to make them work.
The FFIL files are screen fonts which load into the OS/programs in order to show up in the menus. They should show up as Font Suitcase in the KIND column of the finder. You will also need the corresponding LWFN file which is the postscript outline file. That will show up as Postscript Type 1 outline font in the KIND column of the finder. That is used to render the font on screen and output it.
OSX needs both of those in the same location in order to work correctly. Needing two pieces is just part of the problem. The names of the files are also different. The PostScript parts usually having abreviated names.
And it's more complex than that. One FFIL file actually may have many screen fonts inside it for the different variations of the font family. Then you will need to make sure you have separate LWFN files for all of those.
I know it's confusing. The 2-piece font just asks for problems. Unfortunately that is how Adobe invented them 20+ years ago.
OSX makes it harder by not letting you open the FFIL file to see what's inside. In OS 9 and earlier you could open the suitcases and add or remove screen fonts - even add unrelated fonts all to the same suitcase
Well I've rambled enough about Type one Fonts. I hope my first few paragraphs clear up some of it for you. -
Font Book: Installed postscript Fonts don't always appear in Font Book list
Greetings,
I was helping a user the other day with Font Book. I was showing him how to add/enable fonts into Font Book when I noticed a problem I had never seen before. Before I get started, the fonts in question are from the Adobe 7 Font Folio library. There were newly installed by me from the original disk, and known not to be corrupt. I also know that that Postscript fonts are an accepted font format in Tiger.
That said, when adding.installing a particular font using Font Book, it would not "Appear" in the Font Book" list of fonts. I would attemp to, again add/enable the font (by selecting it from the Adobe Library) and still it would not appear in the Font Book list with the other installed fonts. This would happen to any font that I tried to install. Once this happenend to a specific font, I could no longer get that specific font to install.
I removed the Font Book .plist - no luck. I also rebooted - no luck.
Obviously, no application was able to recognize any of the fonts that would not install.
It was as if Font Book would not recognize any font that I was trying to add/enable.
Could this be a corrupted cache issue, or .plist problem? Could this be a permissions related issue? What did work finally was to add the font to the "Computer" set, where it would be avaialbe to all users. But I could not get the font to install into the "User" set. Weird.
Also, What is the significance of these four fonts:
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
These fonts above are part of the default package that is loaded into the /System/Library/Fonts
Is it safe to replace these with Postscript version from my Adobe 7 Font Folio collection?
I have read most of the font related tutorials and articals.
thanks,
Hairfarm
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.6)where did
you get the information about pre-92 Adobe postscript
fonts being uncompatible?
Oh, sure, it's hard enough for me to remember things these days and now you want me to remember where I learned them from?? geez... [gone lookin' ... okay, back] It was, as I vaguely recalled, on the Adobe site, re troubleshooting in OS X, in a list of "do this to solve your problems": "Make sure that you are using the latest version of the font... If the font's creation date is prior to 1992, a new version of the font may be available." The only Type 1's that have given me any problems were, all three of them, older than 92, and in troubleshooting something here a few weeks ago, that turned out to be a problem for someone else, too.
But all of the Tiger font
research that I have done suggests that Adobe
Postscript fonts were acceptable.
Yes, well... Type 1's are supported. It seems that some older ones are a little funky (not in a design sense....)
Ideally, what fonts can be removed from Tiger from
the System/Libray/Fonts folder? I know that all four
of the MM's (Helvetica LTand Times LT), Lucida
Grande, Geneva, Keyboard, Last Resort, and Monoco
must stay, but what about the others?
You also need a real Helvetica - that is, not the MM version. You can replace the system's Helvetica with one of your own, but there must be an available Helvetica around at all times.
Then there's AquaKana (two of them, regular and bold). They're not on Apple's official "do not remove" list, but there's some anecdotal evidence of its being needed. It's "real" name begins with a period, so it doesn't appear in any menu, so it's not going to hurt anything if you leave it there.
In stripping down nonessential fonts, lots of people just remove everything from the Library/Fonts folder, but I think it's good to leave the basic most common web fonts available: Comic Sans, Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana, Times New Roman. This keeps web pages looking the way they're supposed to - and they shouldn't conflict with anything that's being really designed!
This is assuming that the fonts
being used are not damaged and "Pass" Font Book's
validation test.
The assumption within that assumption is false: Font Book's validation is pretty iffy. I think the only reason we don't see it as REALLY iffy is because fonts, on the whole, are pretty solid in OS X (your current experience to the contrary). I've installed fonts (properly) that flew through the automatic-on-install validation but failed when I used the Validate Font command afterwards. I've had fonts that pass both the on-install and specific after-install validation but get a Bad Font warning dialog when being re-enabled after a disabling. (And I didn't use the font in between... ) Who knew Font Book did any validating when you re-enable fonts??
This is what I would do:
(Not necessarily in this order)
1. Trash Font Book .plist
2. Trash all Font Cache's from all three libraries
(System, Computer, and User folders)
3. Reboot
4. Delete problem fonts from User and Computer
Libraries and reinstall using Font Book.
Please tell me if this strategy is ill-advised, and
what the better course of action might be.
None of it is ill-advised. I would add starting up in Safe Mode to see if the problems exist there as part of the narrow-down-the-problem stage. Same goes for setting up a separate user account and see how things are behaving there. (Yikes... did you try that yet??)
In addition, there are some special things to do when it's Office apps having the problem, or something going on with Adobe's application fonts folder...
Also, Zaph Dingbats is acting up as well. I removed
the .dfont version that was in the system folder, and
replaced it with the Adobe Font Folio Postscript
version (ITC Zaph Dingbats) that I loaded into Font
Book User/Library/Fonts folder. Now that I think
about it, that specific font has been around for
along time, and may very well be pre-1992. Hmmm...
Can you further define "acting up" ? In addition to the ZD dfont from the system, I've been using/testing ITC ZD from Adobe with no problems. It's version 2.0 with copyright dates of 1985 through 1987.
A lot to respond to. My apologies.
No problem. You caught me on a night when I'm too tired for real work but not so far gone I can't do this (tho I'm soon on my way, bleary-eyed, to get a fix of Sudoku puzzles). -
Since upgrading to Yosemite I have a problem with Font Book now being EXTREMELY slow in loading.
Under Mavericks the collection list shows up almost immediately and the full font list comes up in about 10 seconds for about 15 seconds to load the 617 font families, of which only about 25 are normally active. (I am in publishing/graphics and have a need for many font families)
Under Yosemite the font list shows up after about 15 seconds but the collection list takes 50 seconds!!!
There is the exact same number of fonts active but a 35 second difference in the speed to bring the app to full capability.
Font book appears to be loading the information in the reverse order with Yosemite and perhaps this is the cause for the big delay in loading.
Any suggestions other than?I also forgot to add that for some of the pages that don't load or load slow. if you actually type the address into the address bar preceeded by "https://" instead of relying on search links or bookmarks it will load.
-
I'm not sure how or why, but Font Book seems to have disappeared from my Applications folder and my Mac in general. Is there any place I can go to download the Font Book application??
No, you cannot download OS X components, but you can reinstall them from your OS X Installer DVD. See the following:
How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)

Where we can check the Sales order cancel reason?
Hi,
We are developing a custom report for Sales Order Booked Vs Cancelled. In this report we want to display the reason for canceling the order. We are selecting the reasons while canceling the sales order. But the reasons are not showing in the tables. Where we can check the reason for canceling? Is there any table?

System fonts not showing in Font Book
I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book. I cannot get the system fonts to show up in Font Book and, hence, those (System) fonts don't show in Apple apps, e.g., Safari, Grapher, Text Edit, etc., etc.
The only way I can get the system fonts to show in apple apps it to drag the System>Library>Fonts folder to the "Collection" column onto the "Computer" collection. This is fine, but it copies the System fonts to the ComputerName>Library>Fonts folder.
I've tried for hours to get the System fonts to show in Font Book and do it without the System fonts being copied to the Library or User folder, i.e., I want the System fonts to stay in the System fonts folder only.
If I boot into another partition and bring up Font Book everything works as I would expect, and Font Agent Pro is not installed on that partition...
Any Ideas?
TIA,
Geoff
Quicksilver 933, PB 15" 1.67 Superdrive Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi PS1,
I am using Font Agent Pro as a font manager and am wondering if there's a conflict with it and Apple's Font Book.
Yes, in a sense. If you always open and close your fonts through FAP's interface, then it's no problem leaving Font Book on your Mac. It will simply sit there and take up a small amount of disk space.
That said, it's still a nuisance having more than one font manager on your computer at a time. Say you disable all of the fonts in Font Book that you can. Assuming the fonts are still in the /Library/Fonts/ folder, you then turn them on and off with FAP. The problem then is which orders are the applications going to believe? Are the fonts active, according to FAP? Or inactive, according to Font Book?
Also, if you double click on any font to quick activate it, both FAP and Font Book will activate the font. So you will find yourself confused fairly often when you deactivate the font in FAP, but they still keep showing up in your applications as active. That would be because Font Book is still holding it open.
So if FAP is going to be your main font manager, then copy Font Book off to another disk for safe keeping (so you don't have to use Pacifist or an OS install to get it back on your system if you need, or want to), and then remove it from your hard drive.
Definitely don't remove the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder! If you remove Lucida Grande from its default location in any way, you will lose control of your desktop. The only way I can think that Taavi managed to accomplish this was moving files around booted to an external drive, or from another Mac via FireWire Target Mode. It's impossible to do on the same drive your booted to. You'll lose control of the desktop every time if you remove Lucida Grande. Although Taavi may have made his/her copy to the /Library/Fonts/ folder. That at least would still leave an active copy of Lucida Grande somewhere, but I highly recommend against that sort of handling of the system fonts. -
Font Book acting very very weird, had to abandon it...
Hi all.
This happened before but this time it seems permanent...
I use Chinese True Type Fonts (.TT) as part of my daily work, but I only load them when I need to use them in Photoshop.
Today as usual I enable the whole lot of them in Font Book as any other day, but when I launch Photoshop, after scrolling down to the last English Font, the Chinese Fonts that should appear after that were not there...
I tried Repairing Permissions, quit and launch both PS and Font Book, restart... to no avail.
And I understand the when Font Book loads the fonts, it actually place a duplicate copy from its origin to the User's Fonts folder or somewhere in the main System's Font folder, right??
Anyway, I went into those font folders and sure, all the Chinese Fonts are all there, they just don't show up in Photoshop?? So in order not to "overload" my fonts folders, I deleted all of the Chinese Fonts, and some other extra English fonts that I have activated and been staying inside those font folders...
So now I use (back) Suitcase X1, which for some reasons I don't quite like, for one you have to keep it launch from startup, but using Suitcase to activate all my Chinese Fonts, they are back in Photoshop, where they should be... and I am beginning to appreciate Suitcase, for it just activate the fonts from wherever they are, and not copying another duplicate and place them in the Fonts folders.
But I would still like to find out what might have cause my Font Book to "malfunction"??
