Can't Install Postscript fonts OS 10.7.2

I have a new iMac runing 10.7.2 and I want to install my postscript fonts from my previous mac. I can't seem to get them to install. Any one else have this issue? It seems to work but the fonts never show up.

CS2 I believe is PPC based so will not work on Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Either you will need to update to a later version or reinstall Snow Leopard.

How can i install bangla font in my nokia asha 311...

How can i install any font in my nokia asha 311 manually. Help me....please (signhnsk). It's my last chance. I cannot distrub you any time. Help me.....

Ah? As already said, it isn't possible for you to manually install languages. You need to flash a different software variant of the phone which contains that language built-in.
So better is to visit the Nokia Care Center and ask them to do the job

You cannot install fonts or other keyboards on the iPad. You can make suggestions to Apple here.

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,

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).

Cannot install PostScript fonts

I have just got the G5 with Tiger (10.4.4). I tried to add my PostScript font into the Font Book and nothing happened. I tried to put whole folder in it and just an empty folder appeared (more over all the folders such as "Classic, Fixed Width..." disappeared).
I tryed to use Suitcase Fusion from Extensions and even this program did not want to load the fonts - it can see the files but it's like it would not be the font files.
The problem is that the fonts which I am trying to add are working on 10.4.2 with absolutely no problems.
I tried to upgrade to 10.4.6 but that did not solve it. I even install the system again - no solution
I am desperate the last option - if you won't help me - for me is to format the discs.
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) nVidia 7800 GT (BTO), 23'' Cinema Display, two 160GB (Stripped RAID)

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM - it was on my side. I have a backup of my files on the web server and I put the folder with the fonts ther. Problem was that I did not zipped it so when I downloaded it to my computer, somethig was probably changed so that the Mac did not recognized the files. Now I have the fonts from CD and all work 100%.
Seems like the OS X will be good system finaly

Can't get Postscript fonts to load

I'm moving fonts from my old OS9 computer to my new OS X Tiger computer. For some reason, whenever I try to use the Font Book to add new fonts, the PostScript Type 1 Outline Fonts are grayed out. This is driving me crazy. I know it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. Why won't OSX let me add PostScript fonts to my system?

To add to Kurt's advice, make sure the fonts that you want to copy over from the OS 9 Mac aren't in use by the OS 9 Mac when you attempt to copy them from your OS X Mac. By "in use", I mean that on the OS 9 Mac, they're physically installed in the /System Folder/Fonts/ folder, or reside elsewhere and are activated using a font management application. Because of the way OS 9 works, the active font suitcases are "locked down" by OS 9, and OS 9 won't let someone from an OS X Mac copy the files over. Only the PostScript Type 1 outline fonts will end up being copied over. In OS X 10.3.x, the OS X Finder would not inform you at all that copying the files failed. In OS X 10.4.x, the Finder will at least let you know that it failed to copy over some files (the active font suitcases).
Easiest way to assure you transfer the files properly is to go to the OS 9 Mac, create a second copy of all the fonts you'd like to make available to the other Macs, at some other location on the OS 9 Mac where they won't be activated. Then, when you connect to the OS 9 Mac from your OS X Mac, copy the fonts over from this deactivated copy rather than the originals.
I would recommend my Font Book Helper application, but unfortunately it doesn't work properly yet in OS X 10.4 -- I hope to release an updated version of Font Finagler with a Font Icon Helper feature that is OS X 10.4 compatible.
Anyway, hope this helps....

How do I install Postscript Fonts (.pfb) in OS X

Howdy,
I'm a recent switcher from Vista to OS X, and I cannot for the life of me get any of my .pfb PostScript fonts to work on OS X? Its suppose to have built in support for it Like Windows but I am either doing something wrong or that was a lie!
All I have unfortuntely is the .pfb and .pfm files for my PostScript fonts.. do I need any other files? The pfb's on their own worked in Vista, so I'm just assuming that it should be the same for OS X right? I tried imported the fonts via the Font Book but I cannot select .pfb files, so I tried dragging the pfb and pfm files into Library/Fonts and still to no avail?
Any ideas on how I can get these fonts to work? or am I screwed?
ta
Steve

The pfb's on their own worked in Vista, so I'm just assuming that it should be the same for OS X right?
No, PC and Mac Type 1 fonts are not interchangeable. A Google search on "pfb mac" will give you plenty of hits. Here is one idea for conversion:

Can't install a font I need for work - please help! 10.4 ={

Hello,
So I am trying to install this font on my work computer, which is old and has os x 10.4.11 (tiger?). I have downloaded the TTF file onto the desktop. When I double click to install it, it says I need to choose an application and none of them I tried will work. I have a brand new macbook myself and downloaded the same font - worked fine because I could put it right into font book.
The problem here is that I cannot find font book anywhere on this computer and have not found any helpful discussions on how to re-install it or about different ways to get this font downloaded and usable. I have tried everything I can think of. I would just make these damned brochures on my own computer, but then they won't convert to this one.
Anyways, super frustrated - any advice/places to get font book/or something else I could use would really help. I don't even care if it's a round-about way of doing it, I just NEED this font!!
Thanks ahead of time!

Is the font compatible w/Tiger?
The Font Book is inside the Applications folder. If it is not there, use Spotlight to search for it. If Spotlight cannot find it, you can custom install Font Book directly from the system DVD that originally came w/your MBP. Use the custom install option. It should be inside the Bundled Software folder. If not, there, it will be inside the Applications folder.

You cannot legitmately install fonts onto your iDevice without modifying it but this will cause you to loose warrenty on your iDevice.

Can't install LWFN fonts

Hi,
I have three font families (composed of around 40 files) in PostScript 1 format and whenever I attempt to open them with Font Book, I get no result. Dropping them into the dock icon does nothing, I can't drag them into the folder list on the left hand side and when I attempt to go through the 'Add Fonts' option, all of the fonts are greyed out and unable to be selected..? Can anyone help?
Cheers.

Hi Jeremy,
The LWFN file is the outline printer portion of a Type 1 PostScript font. These will not work on their own.
You should be able to find your answer here. Read down a bit in the thread for my post and the following one by Mark Douma.

Can't install Simsun font

I have a Word document which uses the Chinese font Simsun. I found the font file in the MS Office/Fonts folder but I can't seem to install it in FontBook -- when I try to add it, nothing happens. FontBook doesn't hang or anything, it's just . . . nothing. The font doesn't appear in the list.
Is this an issue with the font itself or with Font Book?

I put Simsun in cherylkohler/library/fonts (I don't have a "home" folder, I assume this is what you mean)
If from the Finder you do Go > Home, you presumably are in the cherylkohler folder, right?
I wonder if there is something about 10.3 which doesn't like that font? (I'm using 10.4 but I did not think there should be a difference). Did you restart your machine?
Another place you can ask if necessary is the Word newsgroup:

Can't install PostScript Driver on Win 7

Hi,
I am trying to install Adobe Page Maker 7.0 upgrade CD on my Dell Laptop that has Windows 7.
Everything else installed except the PostScript Driver.
It starts to install then gets to - choose a printer.
I chose Generic Printer then it says chose an operating system and it gives me a choice of Win 95, Win 98 and Win NT.
I have Windows 7.
Thank you

No, can't do. It's hoplessly outdated and not compatible. If you really need PS output, look into GhostScript or other commercial products or use your normal printer driver's "to file" option. Otehrwise there's nothing to be missed.

Can you install Sinhala fonts for iPad 2 ?, Can you install Sinhala fonts for iPad 2 ?

There are lot of sri lankans who are interested in buying the iPad but there is a huge problem with the language barrier. If you all make an app for this as soon as possible , believe me there with be a lot of happy apple users

You can't add fonts to the iPad so that they are available in every app, only Apple can do that - so if a third-party wrote an app that included it, it would only be available within that app.
You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe support will be added at some point : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
