Arial Font accidently Replaced

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with the "ARIAL" font on my powermac G4. It seems that I have replaced the font. I don't know how it happened. All I remember doing was installing graffiti fonts.
Now the computer has replaced the arial font with a graffiti font that I have installed. I've tried everything I can think of and cannot fix this problem. I even check the font in the font library and it shows up as normal. Can someone help with this?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Anytime your Fonts have an anomaly, try trashing the preference file.
Go here: MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate this file:
com.apple.FontBook/plist drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file as your Mac will create a new one for you.

Arial font in safari replaced with another!!

the other day i downloaded some new fonts. for some reason safari suddenly began replacing the arial font with one of the new fonts. i tried to locate the font (and i thought i did and i deleted it) but the problem is continuing. it won't even allow me to use a different font. help!

Oddly enough, it is only in Safari.
That's normal.
As you can see the Arial font comes up as another font,
It looks like a stencil font. You should be able to find it in font book from the sample pane and dump it.
even when I change to a different font, the fonts on the websites will not change to the specific font I have chosen.
The font for a website is most often determined by the code of the webpage and not by what you set Safari prefs.

Replace Arial Font

How can I replace the Arial Font collection that is standard with OSX ?
Pages and Text Edit is not allowing me to select the various styles of Arial.
As an example, I cannot switch from "regular" to "bold".
All other font collections work fine.
Thanks in advance,
Lenny

FontDoctor lets you repair fonts.
Alternatively, you could use Pacifist to dig them out of your installer CD and replace the installed copies (in /Library/Fonts).
Personally I'd be asking myself how just that one font got "defective" in the first place. Perhaps it's only the font cache that's corrupted. You might try clearing the font cache and see if that fixes the problem. You can use OnyX for that (download the one appropriate for your system). Use its "Cleaning" tab and select the "Fonts" tab under that.

ARIAL FONT IN REPORTS(WINDOWS), NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY UNDER LINUX

Our Reports are developed under Windows (Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33 and Windows 2000/Windows XP) and generated under Linux (IAS 10.1.2.0.2 with Red Hat Advanced Server). The Report Output is a PDF, that will be downloaded by the user with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. This works fine, but fonts are not shown correctly in the PDF, especially ARIAL, which is the font we use.
I have run the Fontsolution Configuration Script from Metalink, but we still have a problem.
When you look at the font.pdf, wich is the testreport from fontsolutions, some sizes and styles of Arial are printed correctly others not.
Arial 8 is ok, but Arial 10 and Arial 12 are something like Times New Roman.
Arial 12 Bolded is correct, but Arial 12 italic and Arial 12 bold italic are also not
the Arial Font.
How can we correct this problem?
Regards
Udo

# DESCRIPTION:
# Each line is of the form:
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet> = \
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet>
# The <Face> must be the name (string/identifier) of a font face. The
# <Style>, <Weight>, <Width>, and <CharSet> may either be a numeric
# value or a predefined identifier/string. For example, both US7ASCII
# and 1 are valid <CharSet> values, and refer to the same character set.
# The <Size> dimension must be an explicit size, in points.
# The following is a list of recognized names and their numeric
# equivalents:
# Styles Numeric value
# Plain 0
# Italic 1
# Oblique 2
# Underline 4
# Outline 8
# Shadow 16
# Inverted 32
# Overstrike 64
# Blink 128
# Weights Numeric value
# Ultralight 1
# Extralight 2
# Light 3
# Demilight 4
# Medium 5
# Demibold 6
# Bold 7
# Extrabold 8
# Ultrabold 9
# Widths Numeric value
# Ultradense 1
# Extradense 2
# Dense 3
# Semidense 4
# Normal 5
# Semiexpand 6
# Expand 7
# Extraexpand 8
# Ultraexpand 9
# Styles may be combined; you can use plus ("+") to delimit parts of a
# style. For example,
# Arial..Italic+Overstrike = Helvetica.12.Italic.Bold
# are equivalent, and either one will map any Arial that has both Italic
# and Overstrike styles to a 12-point, bold, italic Helvetica font.
# All strings are case-insensitive in mapping. Font faces are likely to
# be case-sensitive on lookup, depending on the platform and surface, so
# care should be taken with names used on the right-hand side; but they
# will be mapped case-insensitively.
# See your platform documentation for a list of all supported character
# sets, and available fonts.
# BUGS:
# o Should accept a RHS ratio (e.g., "Helv = Arial.2/3").

# If helvetica..... entry appears in the top of the list, all the styles of
# helvetica font in the layout will be subset as helvetica Plain font.

# This is the printer configuration file.
# The format for entries in this file is:
# <OSName>:<Type>:<Version>:<Long Name>:<Description File>:
# The first field is the name of the printer. It is the name you give
# to lpq.
# The second field is the type of driver to be used for the printer.
# Currently, "PostScript" and "ASCII" are the only types of driver for
# printers supported for now. But in future we may be supporting
# drivers for other printer types.
# The third field is the version of the type of printer driver. It's 1
# or 2 for all PostScript printers; or 1 for ASCII printers.
# The fourth field is a long description of the printer. This will be
# presented to the user in the "Choose Printer" dialog window.
# The fifth field is the printer description file to be used. For
# PostScript printers it is the PPD file of the printer. (This field is
# currently unused for ASCII printers.)
# You can use default.ppd for the description file if you don't have a
# PPD file for the printer, but it's best to use the correct PPD file
# for the printer.
# You must fill in at least the first two fields (printer name and
# type). If the version is empty, it defaults to "1"; if the long name
# or description are empty, they will default to empty strings. A
# version of 1 or an empty long name is fine, but, for PostScript
# printers, you must fill in the description file name.
# You don't have to update this file to use any printer. The printer
# chooser interface let's you select a printer and driver at run time,
# as well as associate a printer description file to the printer. You
# should list all printers accessible to users here, however, to
# simplify selecting a printer.
# The first entry in this file will be used as the default printer, if
# no printer was selected in the operating system. (For Unix, the
# following environment variables will be used in turn to get the
# default printer's name:
# TK2_PRINTER
# ORACLE_PRINTER
# PRINTER
# For other platforms, see the Installation and User's Guide for your OS
# for information on setting the default printer.)
# WARNING: Do not define multiple entries for the same printer by the
# same name. Selecting a printer with multiple entries will always result
# in the first entry being selected. Instead, see if your OS allows you
# to create an alias for the printer, and use an alias for the second type.
# The following are examples; replace them with printers accessible from
# this machine.

If you want to make platform independent use of fonts, you have to use the family, such as sans serif.
Arial is owned by monotype (http://monotype.com/). You have to contact them if you wish to redistribute it with your application. They also might have a suitable version that renders nicely under linux.

Arial font substitution for (LabVIEW for) Linux

Hello,
as LabVIEW was not capable of keeping the font size and spacing constant when running a VI under different Windows versions, screen resolutions etc, I have never used the "application", "system" and "dialog" font options in LabVIEW but have fixed all fonts to Arial 14 pt. This worked wonderful on all Windows systems - without that unnerving problem that control lables overwrite each other and things like that (what always happened when using LabVIEWs "application" font option).
Now, when running the same VIs under LabVIEW for Linux, the font looks terrible, as there is no Arial font in Linux. Does somebody know an easy way to solve this problem without setting all fonts to "application font" in LabVIEW? For instance, any "ini file type" setting in Linux telling the operating system which font to use when Arial is not present, or any free font substitution that we could add to our installer routine that the operating system would use automatically instead of Arial?
Best regards,
Gabs

Unfortunately, your problem is a version of a generic problem faced by GUI programmers of all types - how do you handle varying system fonts? There are various solutions, based on who your customers are. You are using one of the easy ones that works well until you start doing cross-platform development. The main options are, in order or increasing complexity:
Lock the font to a specific font and size. This works well if your customers are limited to a single platform and are not visually impaired (do not want to use large fonts).
Use system fonts and allow extra space. This is a compromise that only works in most cases. Use about 50% extra for small strings and 10% - 20% for larger strings. This also gives you extra space for localization, should you need it. Visually impaired customers will run into space issues, because large fonts can be 2X or more larger than the default, system fonts. Note that the different Windows variants have different font sizes as well. Windows Vista increased default font sizes, especially for some Asian languages, such as Japanese.
Query the font size on entry into a GUI VI and rescale everything appropriately. This is hard, since it must be done for every VI with a GUI. Some system dialogs do not handle large fonts well, so you will probably end up replacing them with your own versions to get good appearance. You could probably write a system to handle this sort of scaling, but to my knowledge, no one has (please prove me wrong ). I have always used custom code when needed.
No one really does this well. Change your system font on a Windows OS to large fonts and note all the problems you run into. I would recommend option 2, unless you have a lot of extra time. Your customers will love you if you pull off option 3.
More tips to help.
Do your development on the platform with the largest system fonts. If this is not possible, change the LabVIEW system fonts of your development system to match the largest size you support. I usually develop using 13pt Verdana, since it is one of the largest of the variable spaced fonts.
Check your work by using large fonts in Windows. If it looks good there, it will probably be OK for most uses.
Good luck!

Preview : problem with PDF and Arial font

I receive PDF files from my telco; the PDF use the Arial font, which they embed in the PDF. Not an ideal choice, but I can't change this.
Problem : when I display the file in Preview (OS X 10.5.6), large parts of the text do not appear. The file can correctly be displayed with Adobe Reader on the same Mac, on other machines (Windows PC with various PDF viewers) or in GMail. The issue really seems to be related to the "Preview" application.
Any idea on what causes this? Are there limitations on the PDF files that Preview can display ?

Not necessarily! Because there are many places fonts can reside in Leopard, multiple versions of the same named font may be present. This is especially true for fonts that may come with multiple software installs like Arial (commonly installed by Microsoft Office). The system may not always choose the most recent font. It is a simple matter to check in Font Book for conflicts.

Arial Font Changed to a different font

Hi, i have a huge problem with the arial font in my macbook pro. It shows something like this in font book about the Arial font:
if you see the background behind font book, you can see that even the font in goole chrome changed. I've tried to reset my macbook pro but nothing is happening.
It also appears as linkin.ttf when i tell it to "show in folder" Thanks for helping. I really don't know what to do right now.
And whenever I check google something this happens:

Hello jdessie
To fix the issue, I would remove the font from Font Book and make sure completely remove it from your Mac. Once that is done, then I would reinstall OS X Mavericks. As part of the installation of OS X, Arial will be reinstalled and it will be the correct font that you need.

Arial font not showing up

For some reason, the font Arial is not showing up in my documents, most notably Office documents. The folder is there in my Fonts Library and the standard system fonts check out ( I ran the restore standard font function), but still it does not show up. ANythoughts on what is gping on? I am running OS 10.7.

I had this issue with Excel / Office Applications on Lion and Mountain Lion. On deeper investigation using the page referenced by baltwo I found an Arial font that was corrupt / had a size of zero bytes. On removing the corrupt Arial and restarting my issue was resolved.

How to do Arial fonts in EPSON LX-300+II

Arial or Helvetica fonts are added in device type EPESCP9 or EPESCP2 in output device that uses EPSON LX 300 + II. I'm using the INCH7 page format for the check printing. When the check was printed, the output was not Arial; instead it looked like a Roman font. Arial fonts are already in list of printer fonts of EPESCP9 and EPESCP2. Also, the font used in check sapscript is already changed to Arial. When I used SWIN, it printed the Arial font correctly. I can't use SWIN since SWIN is for Windows and not for Linux.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
In SPAD you need to create the Device type & then the page format should be created for that specific Device type.

Arial Font Issue

I have been creating some technical manuals from FrameMaker using the print method. I have the print driver set up to embed all fonts. After the DPF has gone through reviews the PDF must be deited to provide an issue date and an inserted date before posting on the web. We have been using the touch up text tool w/Arial font as the security settings that are required do not allow for protecting the text from the typewriter tool. On some documents we were getting the warning that "the original font is not available..." becausse of the difference in how windows/Acrobat read the installed font. The text goes in the document just fine but in other places what was perfectly good text will change spacing to L ook Li ke This.
The Arial fonts I have been using are getting embedded as ArialMT. I understand that the Windows reads the Aril font as Arial but that it's real name is ArialMT, the MT standing for the producer, Monotype. when the touch up text tool is used it sees the Arial font as Arial and since that is not the embedded font hence the error message. I have found that setting the property in the printer drivers printing preferences "rely on system fonts only..." to unchecked allows the Arial font to be embedded as Arial instead of ArialMT. (I put this part in case it can help someone else). This setting gets rid of the warning but in either setting the touch up text tool still embeds a new Arial (CID) font. Does anyone know how to stop this??

Try going to Applications/Font Book and validating the font. There may be option to do that in Font Explorer.

Arial font missing from Mountain Lion

Arial font doesn't appear in Mountain Lion, but all my spreadsheets use it. As a result, when I open any spreadsheet, it appears blank until I change the font. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks

Arial is a built-in font.
Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Mac 101: Font Book
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

Arial font rendering problem in AIR

Hi,
I am new to flex. I have a problem in rendering arial font in Label in AIR application.
I have attached the screen shot.The letter W has been cutted.
Regards,
Jayagopal.

OK, I eventualy discover that Java uses its own font configuration, and look for the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/TTF. As I use Bohoomil bundle fonts, which does not install fonts in this directory, Java wasn't finding the right fonts.
Copying the DejaVu family in /usr/share/fonts/TTF solved the problem.

Arial fonts in the headings of my website pages are distorted in FF4

I have heading at the top of my web pages using Arial font and this has been without problem for over ten years in any browser.
The Arial font looks fat in FF4.
Is this an issue with special coding needed for FF4 web-pages, or could it be that my ISP needs to have their servers optimized for FF4?

Thanx for your suggestions.
However, changing the Use hardware acceleration makes no difference.
When trying to access about:config I get the following: "Navigation to the webpage was canceled - What you can try: Retype the address. ?!?
I've never had to tune a browser previously and if I have to do this then all FF4 users are going to have to do the same to see my webpages as they appear on any other browser :-((

How can i find something that i have accidently replaced and saved. Thanks
