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.

Can't copy file from SAP-directory to FTP server

Hello,
I can't copy files from the SAP server to the FTP server. The file is created with OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET commands and is placed in the SAP-directory S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work.
I can see and read the file with transaction al11, so I know it's there.
But the FTP command always gives the same error:
S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work\[FILENAME] errno 22: invalid argument
I can connect to the FTP, but the put command keeps failing. Somehow, the file in the SAP directory can't be read, it seems, even when
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Ok, I found out that I have to use SAPFTPA as RFC destination type, instead of SAPFTP, otherwise the folders can't be located.
But with SAPFTPA I can't seem to connect to the FTP server. I've tested the connection with sm59 and it works, but for the FTP it doesn't work. When I use SAPFTP as destination type, it still works.
What can I do?
Thanks.

How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
thanks

Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
Hope this helps, let me know

How can I copy songs from one iPod to another?

I received a new iPod Classic (last generation) and I'm trying to transfer my songs from my old iPod Nano (also last generation).
My iTunes library is also split up between my two parent's houses and I only have half the songs on my Nano in this computer's library.
Is there a way to copy only the songs on the +iPod Nano+ (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?

*Is there a way to copy only the songs on the iPod Nano (not the iTunes library) and drop them onto the new iPod?*
You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, you have to copy the songs back to iTunes and update the new iPod from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

OSB : How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects?

How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects in OSB?
For eg:
I have a service call out action in Project1/proxySer1
I want to copy this to Project2/proxySer2.
Espicially, in our case error handling callout is common to all of our projects and we should be able to copy from one to another.

Thank you for the reply.
It was my fault. I was on two different servers, while i was doing this and so didn't work. But copy /past action works as you suggested.
Can I select multiple actions from one stage and paste to different proxy service? I have too many options to copy/paste and hence I have this question.
Is there any other way of copying all selected actions in one stage to another, but not the complete stage itselft?

I have tried doing this but it comes up with your not authorised .

You can't copy directly from one iPod to another, the songs have to be transferred to iTunes first and your second iPod is updated from there. The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod

If the above option is too much work you may want to look into iRip which you can find information on it at http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/ there are other software out there starting from free and going up in price, but iRip has a free demo to recover 100 tracks.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

Can I copy clips from one project to another? The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event. I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events. I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills. ABout 50 of them, When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them. So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it. (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff). Seems to work so far.
So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else. Do you know a way around this?

For windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
