Another font problem, I think.

Now that I have the basic two fonts cleared up, most text in the drop down lists are scrambled. An image here: http://www.anthemwebs.com/images/fontsafari.gif
Any thoughts?

Release 3.0.2 solved the problem.

Having a font problem - I think - after updating 10.4.5

I had a minor problem today which made me need to restore a backup of 10.4.4 (on the boot drive) which I made a few weeks ago just before my first 10.4.5 upgrade. Anyway, I restored the drive and than before booting into 10.4.4 on the newly resotred drive, I just ran the combo update on the drive. I figured this was an OK thing to do. BTW, All my user data is on a seperate drive.
Once I booted into it, I updated all the iLife apps and went to run some apps to be everything was cool. Everything seemed fine until I ran iDVD which when I brought up a recent project freaked out about the Helvetica Neue font used in the theme being missing. Well, I didn't remove the font in the past few weeks, didn't install any fonts, and besides, I think it's a system font? So I go and look in FontBook and I don't see it anywhere.
Anyone want to take a stab at what the heck happened and if I should be concerned? Any way to correct?
Thanks.

The mystery continues. I had the font in /Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.dfont, but it wasn't loaded for some reason?! I added it in FontBook which than put it into the User fonts.
Shouldn't this have been loaded automatically without adding it to the User font area? Is there a cache somewhere I need to dump?
Thanks.

Another N80 PROBLEM (I think?)

i was stupid enough to get an N80 on ORANGE... eversince the phones constantly connecting to orange internet without even a warning!
has anyone else had this problem or do you think its the sim
is there anything i can do to fix it!

Seraphin,
Dont know what your problem is but you seem to constantly be giving insults to people who dont conform to your ideas or suggestions here.
I have spoken to many people who are not happy about the operator firmware because of problems it gives them because of restrictions and the way that the operator configures the phone so that you have to use their sevices, especially in the begining withought realizing and actualy being charged a large amount of money for these services.
I made one suggestion that somebody can take or not, its up to them, not you..the suggestion wasnt meant for you.
I know many people who have upgraded from network specific firmware to non network specific firmware, and some of those upgrades were done at Nokia sevice centers and the warantees on those phones are still intact. This rightly or wrongly has been explained to them by the NSC and if there is a problem with warantee then this is the problem of the NSC that the upgrade was made.
please keep your personal insults to yourself, or as I have suggested to you before PM me and I will answer you directly, as you keep telling us to the point that its getting boring, these forums are for help and advice, I dont see insults either helpull or good advice.

Another font problem

When I set a font in iweb (nothing fancy, just arial) and then publish the site. Safari does not understand it and automatically goes to its default font. The fonts look perfect in firefox too...
Seems like quite a significant mistake on apple's part if other browsers are more compatible with their own software than their own?
Any ideas?
thanks

Any clues though?
Sorry, no. Without being able to see it, hard to know if it's more than a local problem or what might cause it.

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.

Font problem in Classic

I posted this over in the Classic forum...but it's rather dead over there and I fear it may not be seen for a while...so here's the problem...
I'm running Quark 4 in Classic and having trouble with fonts. Though the fonts are on my computer, and in the OS 9 fonts folder, they won't print correctly. If I use the same printer and print from Quark on my old iMac (running OS 9) the fonts print and look fine.
I read another thread in this forum that mentioned the fonts must be OS 9 fonts (and must not have been run through suitcase or a similar managing program???). So, on the off chance that my husband or I just took OS X fonts and copied into the OS 9 folder, I copied the OS 9 fonts from the iMac (I just grabbed everything in the Frutiger family, as it was one that I had an issue with) and then dumped them into the OS 9 fonts folder on my iBook. I restarted Classic mode in order to make the fonts available to the OS and then printed again. The font still prints all pixeled-looking.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to find the original font disc and install them from the disc?
Any help would be most appreciated!!!!!

Hi Diane,
Glad that the tip helped to "solve" the font problem!
Not sure why you are printing the file info at the bottom of the page. It does sound as if it is a print setting somewhere though. Hopefully someone has a clue for you.
Again, thanks for the "solved" star and if I can think of something else for you to try I'll post back. Let us know if you figure it out.
good luck,
littleshoulders

Ooops, I misread your reply, and see that by changing the paper size it corrected the issue.

Leopard and font problems

I have had my fonts default to courier when
printing, just like the others who have posted notices in recent
weeks. I wish I had never installed Leopard because I use FH
daily-- I don't understand Illustrator even though I have it. I
THINK in Freehand. I know I can change all my fonts to paths or
print form the PDF preview mode BUT I don't want to have to do
that. Anyway, I have another issue. I do a newsletter once a month
and the editor sends me the articles cut and pasted into eMails. I
have copied, cut and pasted the articles into FH beautifully up
until Leopard. Now I get all those crazy weird characters.
Apostrophes become "i"s, quotation marks become exclamation marks
and spaces get crosses in them. I am ready to scream! I don't want
to reinstall Panther but I will if I can't fix these issues.
Anybody got any answers? is calling Adobe Customer Support a waste
of time?

For the garbled font problem you might try removing font
cache files.
FontNuke will do the job. You can download the latest version
here.

Pages 08 fonts- problems with Arial, Times New Roman - how do I repair them?

Pages 08 fonts- problems with Arial, Times New Roman - how do I repair them?
Using 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro
Mikeaaa

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.
Thanks

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!

HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard. It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote. Any suggestions of how to fix it?

Dear Kurt,
in bigger companies thinks come slow :-) Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
But I wasn't able to get it to work.
Do you have the one big hint for me???
Thanks and best regards... Udo

Font problem in reports, IAS Version: 10.1.2.2.0

Dear all,
I have installed about 20 applications servers on windows but never met this problem before.
I am facing the problem in viewing the report output on the Windows 2003, Oracle Application server
Installation Type: Forms and Reports Services
Version: 10.1.2.2.0
I am using Arial 10 as default Font of the report,
but in output I am getting another font.
Please Help!
Regards,
Tobias

I have found this reference on a search of oracle:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_trouble.htm
Section D1.11 says this is a know problem and to copy one registry entry to another, however, this entry does not exist on the Windows 2003 server this is running on.
Any ideas?
D.1.11 Printing and Font Errors When Using In-process Server
The in-process server does not recognize the default printer of a user currently logged on to Windows. This is because the service that runs the in-process server is logged on as the Local System.
Problem
Any of the following:
* Printing to default printer fails with the REP_3002 error. For example, the following command:
http://myrepsrvr.us.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=myrep.rdf&destype=printer&desformat=html
results in the following error: Error:"REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
* Deploying reports containing Oracle6i Graphics (OGD) graphics causes Reports Server to stop responding.
* Font alignment problems in a PDF file output from an in-process server.
Solution
To work around all these issues:
1. Open the Windows registry using a registry editor (for example, regedit.exe). Create a backup of the registry before you edit it.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
3. Copy the string value of Device for this key. For example: \\MOWGLI\sierra,winspool,Ne02:
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
5. Paste the Device value copied from HKEY_CURRENT_USER (the string value of Device for this key will be empty).

Strange system font problem

Hello,
I have the following problem for 2 days now:
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1462/bild1.png
I did not install anything. I tried to delete font caches but it did not help.
I re-installed the system but that did not change anything. After resetting the PRAM the problem was solved. At least for some hours, but now the problem appeared again.
When I do a reboot, strange white lines appear over the grey background and the Apple Logo, then the screen turns blue, the cursor consists of white lines too and nothing more happens. After several tries to reboot the Mac is running again, but the font problem still exists.
First I thought of a graphic card problem, but it seems that this font problem only concerns system prefernces and system applications.
I have no idea what to do now, so please help me.

Hi "Apfelkrautsalami"
Font caching information is stored on a per-user basis in
/private/var/folders
I have no idea if it'll help, but you could try this:
- Open a Terminal and do
*sudo rm -rf -- /private/var/folders/??*
- Restart your machine
(Note 1: The '--' prevents rm to think that folders like '-5' are options)
(Note 2: The '??' will match any two-letter directory. I didn't want to say '*')

Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

Hello everyone,
I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
that had minor errors.
I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
this font as well as mine and many others.
10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR: The font system thinks
the font
file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
is active, but the file no longer exists!
Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
Any ideas of how to fix this problem?
Thanks

PDFMaker font problem

Can anyone offer any advice on how to debug a font problem?
I am using a (shareware) symbol font on my Windows XP system. It works great in FrameMaker, and comes out perfectly in Frame-generated PDF files.
Unfortunately, I also have to convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF, using the same font. When I generated those PDF files with PDFMaker, the font characters all show as little squares. I checked MS Word as well, and it has the same issue.
I've checked the font properties in the generated file using the TouchUp Text tool in Acrobat - the font is recognised and embedded. If I try to make changes, I get this error message:
"Some of the characters in the current font are not available, the missing characters will be replaced by place holder characters (maybe dots '.').
"A work around to this is to select another font which contains the characters in the TouchUp Properties dialog.
"Proceed with replacement?"
I'm using Office 2007 under Windows XP Professional. The font is shareware and unsupported. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the problem isn't in PDFMaker, but I don't know a whole lot about fonts, and I'm not sure how to debug this.
Can anyone offer any advice?

If you go to the general tab in the Adobe PDF printer properties, there is a button for printing preferences. Select that and go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab. There should be a check box for leaving the log file intact there. You can also simply print to the Adobe PDF printer with print to file selected. Then open the file in Distiller and watch the messages created (these steps are automated if you do not print to file).
You can also check the fonts in the PDF (use ctrl-D, font tab). If they are embedded, that information is stated in parentheses. If there is no statement of embedding, then it did not get done. That is not necessarily an error if the job settings are not set to embed the font.

Font book or CS2 font problem?

I am using a mac Pro, running OS 10.4.11, w/ CS2. I am having a problem with either font book or CS2. Certain fonts are not viewing correctly when I use them in CS2 programs. I get a font error when I open the file, and when I try to fix the font by choosing the same name again, the font appears as another font entirely (in fact after I closed and reopened everything the font it substituted changed, and if I choose italic it changes fonts again). I do not know if the issue is with font book or CS2, but I have installed around 1500 fonts, and have had some other minor issues when I open files in Adobe programs, with fonts not showing up even though they are installed and enabled. I fix that problem by disabling the font and then re-enabling it and it then shows up in the font list.
So after all that, my question is what should I do? Should I reinstall CS2? Or is the problem more likely cause by font book?
Thanks

Font Book is an inadequate font manager made by Apple for managing the few meger fonts Apple includes with the system.
FAP is a robust font manager made for professionals with thousands of fonts

Another font problem, I think.
