Hi, I am a fairly new user to Dreamweaver. Is there a way to
set the font size in Dreamweaver and it will always appear at this
size in the browser - Safari, IE and Netscape??
12 what?

Is it possible to get the style, font and related info of a paragraph text of a in design file and write all the stuff on the same in design file on the left side with small fonts
as
Lets this is a text in in design file :

Not sure if this would solve your requirment but just in case might be helpful:
1. We can mix up the HTML and HTMLB components in the JSP Page. However, can access only the HTMLB components in the controller. The following link refers to what customizations are offered by the HTMLB framework:
[http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/]
2. Another option would be to use AbstractPortalComponents or a simple web app if that's feasible. (where custom UI themes, css and layout are more in control of the developers.)

What are the names of those fonts? Have you downloaded and installed the special Zawgyi font?
What is it exactly that you cannot read? Can you provide the url? -
How does font size relate to font height
Hi,Im getting confused about font size.
If I use a font of say font size 12. Does that mean
- its maximum height is 12
- its maximum ascent above the baseline is 12 but it can also go below (descent) below the baseline making total height something else.
- something else.The short answer is: "No".
The font size is APPROXIMATELY equal to the ascent, or probably more accurately, the ascent is approximately equal to the font size. But if you check font metrics for any given font you will see that they are not exactly equal. Perhaps there is some definition somewhere that specifies a precise relationship, but if so, I don't know what the formula is. Even the font metrics are only something of a general hint: according to the API documentation, some characters can be taller than the ascent or drop lower than the descent. And of course character widths vary widely.
My practice is to get the font metrics object and ask what I've got, rather than relying on anything. -
Font Book Automatic Font Activation
Hello
I have been happily using Automatic Font Activation from font book for quite long time. Today i noticed that feature absolutely died. Did not heal cleaning caches, restarting ATS Server via ATSUtil in Terminal command line. Simply feature stop to work and i did not really change anything.
Please anyone could help me fix it?
Do not suggest me any 3rd party apps i just liked it way it was before it stop working
If that help, problem occurs only on my Mac Pro. All seem to work fine on my Macbook ProYou've done your trouble shooting!
Try repairing disk permissions. It can fix a myriad of problems.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try forcing background tasks...

Corrupted fonts Gone from Font Book / problem remains
_I have spent all day paying for the recklessness of installing fonts willy-nilly , I have now learned of font valication, and dozens of new things but, after using advice from Dr.Smokes' eBook & other sources, I still get such pages as the Apple start-up full of upside-down looking junk !
Can anyone help my addled, swollen brain, & point me towards the next step, or where to find it
~~TIA~~ --=Dave t_Hi, Dave:
1. You've not provided any of the useful details needed to help solve your problem. For example:1.1. What fonts did you install?
1.2. How and where did you install them?
1.3. What fonts have you since removed?
1.4. How, and from where, did you remove them?The people answering questions here are not clairvoyant. WIthout such details, there's little to nothing that can be done to help you.
2. If I assume you installed them via Font Book, and did not change Font Book's default preferences for where fonts are installed, then:2.1. The fonts you installed are probably in your Home > Library > Fonts folder. If so, either trash them or create a new folder on your desktop and drag all the fonts in your Home > Library > Fonts folder to such. Assure your Home > Library > Fonts folder is empty.
2.2. Then, clear your font cache: see my "Undoing Font Book" FAQ or the "Reset Font Book" section in my book.
2.3. Also, clear your browser's cache. If you are using Safari, then press Command-Option-E.3. If none of the above helps, or if you may have trashed system-related fonts, then the next thing I would suggest is performing an Archive and Install of Mac OS X. See either the "Archive and Install" chapter in my book or my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
You know how to reach me if any of the above requires further clarification.
Good luck!

Missing Fonts and Embedding Fonts
I've run into some strange behavior using Flash Catalyst, and I can't seem to find a solution.
I've created a project that uses a custom font. The font displays just fine in the design window, however whenever I open the project it says the font is "missing". Yet the font still shows up in the font list and is properly installed in my font directory on OSX.
Additionally, when I deploy the project to the web I select "embed fonts". When I load up the website, the font initially appears correctly, however hovering over or clicking on the text buttons changes the font to a default font in a very strange and unpredictable way. Here's the website for reference: http://www.neighbors-film.com
I believe this is related to FC being unable to find the font file, however I'm not sure how to tell it where the file is located.
Any suggestions?Hey Mykill G,
To use preflight tool, you might need to go to Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF fixups > Embed fonts >Edit
Then, Edit Profile window will appear. In this, select Fonts under Embed fonts category and click 'unlock' from the right hand side.
You can now click on 'Add' button to add the desired fonts.
Also, You might check font permissions for Acrobat at the following link:
Additional License Rights, font permission list | Adobe
Please let me know whether your query is resolved.

How can I get the example fonts from the font file Programmatically?
Hi Friends,
I am doing one mac application for the fonts management. Now I would like to Preview the Font in the NSTextView. This is my coding for the textView.
NSTextView *text3=[[NSTextView alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(250,500,450,30)];
[text3 setString:@"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"];
[text3 setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"GangofThree" size:40]];
[[[self window] contentView] addSubview:text3];
Because I have set the string in English for the NSTextView I can't able to view the other languages characters.I got the character set of the font file by using this code.
NSCharacterSet *characterset = (NSCharacterSet *) CTFontCopyCharacterSet (fontRef);
This Font is greek font.Now My question is how can I able to get the greek characters from this characterset.Your text string would certainly have to be in Greek itself, not Latin. No normal font just translates Latin letters to Greek, they use other codepoints reserved for Greek letters.

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start
After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start! When I start FireFox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens as if FF just crashed??? I don't see any records in event viewer. I am using FF v3.6.3 on a Windows 7 box. I tried uninstalling 3.6.3 and installing 3.0.18 and had the same problem!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After a uninstalled all fonts including system fonts and then reinstalling system fonts. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; AskTB5.5)The files with submitted crash report ids are inside the ''submitted '' directory, from the directory you found the LastCrash.txt timestamp file.
The file names will begin with '''bp-'''
There might be more information from the crash report, but it might just tell us you are crashing the first time Firefox tries to use a font.
One thing I suppose you could do is select only those fonts you've got in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced and then uncheck the '''Allow pages to use their own fonts''' option.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel#Fonts_Dialog
To be honest, I can't find anything on this Netscape Font Navigator and it sounds highly dubious. -
An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book. I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts. Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful. I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster. I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere. The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font. Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.
I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works! Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear. Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use. You can click onto that folder to change its name. Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted. This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

Font Book: Managing Fonts, Duplicates, Warnings etc... Need Help!
How this all started...
I have a lot of fonts. I use them for design purposes, and recently added a bunch of new ones.
As a result, I had a problem with an Adobe program and the font displayed in the workspace.
I figured out which one caused it and deleted it. (I've never used it before, and it wasn't a common font, so I didn't really care).
Problem with that solved.
So I figured that I ought to go through Font Book and check everything else and started Validation (under User).
I had several Errors, Duplicates and Warnings.
I (maybe naively) allowed Font Book to "Resolve Duplicates".
QUESTION 1 (a) (b): Could letting Font Book resolve duplicates create any problems? and how does it decide what to trash?
I also let Font Book move all the Error fonts to my empty Trash Folder.
- I then moved all those to an empty folder on my desktop.
I then moved all the Warning Fonts to another empty folder on my desktop.
So now, in User fonts, there are currently no problem messages.
This is where it gets a little trickier...
In "All Fonts" or "Computer" there are no caution symbols adjacent to any fonts, but if I run Validation, I get a lot of duplicate fonts.
For example... Arial exists in:
Library/fonts
User/Library/fonts
Library/Fonts/Microsoft
QUESTION 2: Do I need to address these? and if so, will that have an effect on any programs that use those fonts?
* I did some research on this, and found an article at Mac World, discussing this, but I don't feel any better/wiser after reading it or the comments...
"Problem" since resolving duplicates and/or moving warning and error fonts (from User):
Since I resolved duplicates, and moved the error and warning fonts, I've noticed some "minor" changes in appearance with websites.
Such as in Hotmail, and a website that I'm a member; the font displayed is now just slightly different.
Albeit, the difference is very subtle, (but as a designer, I noticed this right away) and my concern is how this may affect any design work I do, if somehow the change I'm seeing is more of an error.
* I have to make an assumption that its a font used in scripts (like Arial, Helvetica, etc, etc) that use my fonts for display.
QUESTION 3: So the big question is, how the heck do I address that now???
About the Warning Fonts:
For the most part, the fonts that came up as "minor warnings", showed the message 'kern' table structure and contents.
- I know that "kern" is suppose to be the spacing between characters.
QUESTION 4: So, why does Font Book care and warn about the "table structure and contents" of font spacing between characters, for any font???
QUESTION 4b: If that's NOT what that means, then I'd appreciate a plain English definition (perferably a source from Apple directly).
Caches:
I'm seeing changes on the fly with fonts (and the display on websites), if I try and move fonts that had warnings like Arial styles or Helvetica styles back to my User Directory, so I'm guessing that Font Caching isn't affected by this.
If anyone is going to suggest that I deal with the font cache (since I've read several questions on this topic already), I'd appreciate some explanation about WHY I would need to address font caches and HOW they might be affected in respect to your suggestion and the problems I'm having.
Additional Information:
I use a MacBook, Mac OS X 10.6
~ If there's some other information that you may need from me, then please ask away... I need to figure this out, and Font Book is driving me crazy!!!Yes hindsight is 20/20. I realize now that I should not have allowed FB to do what it asked. (But that's a moot point now).
Having a large number of fonts is something I've always had for design purposes. I never had issues with fonts on a PC, and didn't expect these sorts of problems on a Mac. And how is someone suppose to know NOT to trust a pre-installed program that's suppose to MANAGE your fonts???
I don't touch the system fonts. I am well aware that they can't be deleted, nor do I add any fonts to that directory.
I agree... I need to narrow down the issue. That was the whole point of posting this!
I do keep backups of my system and files. I have considered just replacing the font folders with what I had before, but it just brings me back to where I had all the warnings, errors and duplicates... And I'm not entirely sure if and how that could affect the font caches, and if I would need to then address those. I've been researching this quite a bit, but so far, all I've found is complaints or questions from people with similar problems. For whatever reason, very few people seem to want to offer help with this kind of problem (but I thank you for at least trying)...
With Dreamweaver, its not quite that simple. If it was, then I wouldn't need the help. Even if we disregard the issue I have with Dreamweaver, the problem also exists on some websites, webmail, etc. Websites (and Dreamweaver) use standard font families and display their fonts from YOUR installed fonts. The font problems I'm have online are not missing fonts, they are just not the same font in size or appearance that they were before (and no, my webmail, and these websites didn't change. I had someone give me some screenshots to confirm). But I can't figure out exactly where the problem is, because it appears that I DO have the standard fonts. It could be that FB removed a version that was better than what was left behind, or it could be something else.... I have no idea anymore. I'm just getting more frustrated. -

XP Pro Windowsw/Fonts has a font. It is listed as available in MS Word. It is not listed as available in Adobe Illustrator CS6. How do I fix this? Thanks.
BobbyH5280. Very helpful answer! I am XP for the next week on CS6. I did find 3 items that helped. The fonts are in AI, but are listed on the bottom of the list. Also in Edit/Preferences/Type, checking "Show Font Names in English" makes the font list easier to read (doesn't appear to change the sort order though), and (with your suggestion) checking "Sow Asian Options" might do something positive. Thanks to all of you who sent in tips.

How do I get fonts in my font book to a place where I can use them?
I have some Hebrew fonts in my font book but I don't know how to make them useable. I don't even know how to ask 'help' how to get them out. Meanwhile the Japanese fonts and the Chinese fonts are readily available.
I have a similar problem except I can't use any other fonts other than roman characters- all I want is to type in simplified chinese.
As with any other language, and just explained above for Hebrew, you go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for the simplified chinese input method you want to use, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Finder. Then in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder you select Chinese and type.

The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the do
Hi,
I created a PDF from a Word document that used Cambria font, and when I select it in Acrobat to try to change the font I get "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
How can I change the font and why is it preventing me from doing so?
Thanks,
JuanJuan,
No, Acrobat is not a word processor.
More to the point Acrobat lets one "work" PDF and PDF is not a file format designed as a word processing, editing, formating, or page layout file format.
PDF is, essentially, a "final destination" format.
What it is is described in the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1).

Can I copy fonts from /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts to /Library/Fonts ?
Hi,
Short Version
The short version of my question is in the subject (specifically, I'm referring to files of type afm, pfb, pfa and maybe some other sort of pf? located in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/)
Long Version
Here's the long version, along with an explanation of why I'm interested. Please keep in mind that the only thing I know about fonts is what is contained in the xfig documentation.
I'm using LaTeX Equation Editor. (It, in turn, is using the TeXlive 2007 distribution of (La)TeX. Yes that replaced some "system files" like /usr/bin/pstopdf, but I recovered them from another Leopard Mac.) However, the equations which LaTeX Equation Editor is rendering just look wrong; for example, the equation $a=b$ renders in a boxy upright font, whereas the symbols are supposed to be italicized (math mode). Some symbols (for example $\epsilon$ a.k.a. ε) just don't appear. However, I found that the directory /tmp/random string of hyphenated numbers/ contained equation.tex, equation.eps and equation.pdf (among other files). Examining equation.eps using gv renders the equation correctly. However, viewing equation.pdf in Preview reproduces the faulty rendering. The faulty pdf is reproduced by regenerating equation.pdf using epstopdf (as supplied by TeXLive). Using (Apple's) pstopdf instead results in a slightly better result, but symbols like ε are still missing.
Just using the eps file is not useful (in addition to being kludgy) because the problem is also reproduced if I import the eps file into Keynote. Using Grab to take a screen shot of gv's successful rendering eliminates the transparent background, which results in an ugly import into Keynote.
Incidentally, I did not have this problem when using Tiger.
I'm assuming, particularly since gv didn't even work properly until I had installed fonts following the xfig documentation, that this is a font issue, and that, in particular, my X11 fonts are not transferring to Aqua. Is there a way of transferring the X11 fonts I installed for gv etc. to Aqua and if so how? Do I have to worry that font files in Aqua appear to be named after the name of the fonts, whereas under X11, the map from font name to font file appears to be the purpose of the extra file /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.dir?
Thanks!You must in fact add your custom fonts, as the default font set will be the same on all macs running Lion.
You do not offer details, but I may confess what I do in order to have the same font set on all macs at home, just in case someone needs to work on another computer. Usually, they are linguistic fonts.
- I do not install additional fonts, bar the first time when I install a new Mac OS
- save all fonts stored in System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts unto an xternal drive, just in case something wrong happems
- I have a folder with my custom fonts, which are added to all macs around
I do not know what you want to do, but I offered a hint.
