Card messages won't do symbol fonts?

I'm trying to print a birthday card from iPhoto but the message area on the inside of the card doesn't seem to like symbol fonts like Monotype Sorts or Zapf Dingbats. It doesn't seem to accept oriental fonts either. (accented chars ar OK)
Any ideas how to get around this or why on earth they would restrict printing is this way?
thanks,
Miles

Hi,
iChat (the forerunner that Messages in built on) has a whole bunch of Sound with the app.
There were 17 different Actions you could set the sounds for.  (some like an Audio Invitation was the same as the Video invitation sound so there were not 17 different sounds.
Up until Messages 7.0.1 in Mountain Lion you could set these sounds to be Off, On or list another sound (any of the iChat sounds, System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects alert sounds (System Alerts) or any you had in ~/Library/Sounds (your User Account's Sounds)
Since Mavericks/Messages 8 the Alerts Pane in the Messages Preferences has disappeared.
You can only change one sound and that is the one fro Message Received in the General Section of the Preferences.
All other sounds play when the function they were originally designed for happens.
As a consequence you now have  Buddy List open and you will here the Login sound each time it logs in.
I have just disabled all my Accounts in Messages that have Buddy List (all the non iMessages ones).
Originally it kept my pic on show  until I iMessages my iPhone.
At this point it hung, then Crashed.
On restart it was using my Contacts App > My Card pic.
Turning on account in Messages to Enabled again does not automatically change the Pic back.
It looks like we need to bring this to their attention again.

This page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat and currently does not list anything past iChat 5 so type your specs into the Free text area.

  • Symbol fonts in ADE

    Hi.
    Why the symbol fonts do not show up in ADE?
    I created an epub file from Indesign with embedded fonts.
    The garamond and helvetica fonts show up fine, but dingbats and symbol fonts are not.
    The same is viewed fine in Sigil and on iBooks (when i remove font encoding).

    I don't think you will get much help for DRM removal on the Digital Edition forum.
    You won't be able to make any changes using ADE prior to DRM removal.
    After DRM removal you will have a standard .epub or .pdf.
    There are several DRM removal tools, I don't know how similar the result are: try EPUBEE.
    For a .epub you can massage details such as fonts in Calibre.
    If you are more technical, you can open the .epub using a zip manager such as 7-zip and see all the files.
    You can then edit the .css files, and any font files that may be embedded, or even the individual .html files if easier.

  • Messaging won't open E72

    I would think that a new phone wouldn't have any problems, yet I just got this E72 and I' having problems. With or without my 16gb card inside. Messaging won't open. Everything else works fine, Email works, Contacts works, everything else work. I remember "settings" being a little hesitant just now but it's not a problem I can still use it.
    So no matter how I go about loading "messaging" it'll flash or act like it open and then nothing. I can use my shortcut and create a new message and then send it (or put it the Outgoing). Sigh... I wipe the 4gb card clean too.
    I'll try a full reset. (Hard)

    mmmk did *#7370# 12345 and did a hard reset. Then I see that my memory card didn't get reformatted. Make a note of that. Since it didn't get reformatted it attempted to install programs on the card that aren't there anymore. After I took it out and cleared out and reformatted on the E72 Messaging is working like it should. HOPEFULLY after I reinstall all the programs I need it'll still be working.

  • MathType and Symbol fonts on Mac

    I'm running MathType 6.0a, InDesign CS4 6.03 on Mac OSX 10.5.7
    There's a known issue with the Symbol font, but I can seem to get it to show up in InDesign or illustrator (It's fine in Word), though my system only shows one version of symbol, and it looks to be the correct one (stored in Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts)
    MathType recommends: (http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/TSN47.htm)
    What causes this problem
    The MathType installer moves the Symbol font suitcase into a folder that it creates called "Fonts (Disabled)" during installation to ensure that your system does not use it.
    When you upgrade your version of the Macintosh Operating System, reinstall Microsoft Office, or apply a patch to or invoke a "First Run" of Microsoft Office, these programs check your Fonts folder for the Symbol font suitcase. Since the Symbol font suitcase has been moved out of your Fonts folder, they install a Symbol font suitcase into your Fonts folder.
    Some users, because they do not see a Symbol font suitcase in their Fonts folder, place a copy there, possible moving the Symbol font suitcase from "Fonts (Disabled)" back into their Fonts folder.
    The best way to avoid receiving this error message is to manually remove the Symbol font suitcase from the Fonts folder in your System folder after upgrading Mac OS, or reinstalling, applying a patch to, or invoking a "First Run" of  Microsoft Office or one of its components.
    This worked for my home computer, but isn't working on my work computer (where I really need it).
    I've also tried repairing permissions as per, http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn126.htm
    I run FontExplorer (the old free version), but it's useless for dealing with system fonts.
    Does anyone know anything else I can try?

    You may want to rerun in FEX > Tools > Clean System Font Folder… on the chance that your evil computer put it back.
    Que the Indd Secret Site:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/removing-nonessential-system-fonts-in-leopard.php
    Apple says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1642
    Anything other than:
    Monaco.dfont
    LucidaGrande.dfont
    LastResort.dfont
    Keyboard.dfont
    Geneva.dfont
    and a working copy of Helvetica (any brand will do and only then assuming you need Photoshop), will get you where you need in terms of fonts. Every other font in your system is wholly optionally and I personally let FEX manage anything that isn't the above five fonts, think anyone who doesn't is making a mistake.
    Short version. Delete every copy of Symbol and run every command under the Tools menu of FEX, throw two reboots in the machine and hope for the best.

  • Captivate 5 Won't Import My Font From PPT

    I'm working with Captivate 5 and PPT 2007.  I'm importing a PPT presentation into Captivate and it will not pull my fonts through.  It changes everything to the Captivate default font.  The strangest thing is that I imported the exact same PPT presentation yesterday and it kept my fonts.  I've tried it several times today and it won't do it. The font is an option to select in Captivate so I just can't image why it's doing this. Any idea earthly idea why this is happening?? I need help quick!

    Copying my PPT slides into a new file and importing the new file into Captivate worked! Thank you SO much!

    Subject: [Import/Export] Captivate 5 Won't Import My Font From PPT
    Have you tried importing a small PPT with the same required font into a new Captivate project?
    I'm wondering if the issue is due to some corruption in your current project.  Sometimes trying the same task in a brand new project file works, where doing it in another existing project doesn't.
    Perhaps you could also take a screenshot of the font issue and show us what it looks like and what it should look like?

  • Snow Leopard Symbol font doesn't always work in MS Office

    I have to share files between MS Office 2011 for Mac and MS Office 2010 for Windows. As a mathematician, I use the Symbol font on my Mac frequently, but when I open those files in Windows, different characters have been substituted for the characters I typed.  Can I change something I'm doing on the Mac side to have the characters display correctly on my PC, or do I need to approach the problem from the Windows side?  Why isn't the Symbol font universally compatible?  Is there another variation in the Symbol font family that would be more compatible?

    You may be using the legacy symbol character encoding, which is not a good idea any more, as most apps have moved to Unicode.  Instead of using the Symbol font, make your characters by going to the Character Viewer (Edit > Special Characters), view = Roman, Tab = By Category, Category = Math, Digits, Greek
    PS Depending on what app you are working in, you might want to use an Equation Editor rather than just typing symbols directly:

  • When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
    This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
    (td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
    **I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

    Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
    What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
    "How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
    <b>**********Solution*********</b>
    Download the file:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
    Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
    Install the font that was downloaded.
    <b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
    I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

    Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors.  Pressing OK doesn't remove error message.  Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

    The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
    The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times),  lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and  the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
    Happy Printing

  • Does anyone have "No sim card" message after upgrading to iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 4 ?

    Hello,
    I've upgraded my iPhone 4 (8 GB model - GSM) to the new iOS 7.0.2 version yesterday evening and strangely enough he restarted fine, but with the "no SIM card" message. After having pulled out and put back in the micro SIM card several times without success, I've restored the iPhone completely to the 7.0.2 update, but the problem still lasted.
    I've personally solved the issue by downloading the original 7.0.0 IPSW file and forcing iTunes to restore it: push on Option/Command key while clicking on the restore button in iTunes after putting the iPhone in DFU mode by pressing the Home button when powering on . After the restore everything works fine again and I had just to unlock my Sim Card the regular way in order to activate.
    Therefore I'm wondering if anyone else has also encountered this problem and if someone could explain me the origin of this issue.
    I'm living in Belgium (Europe) and using Belgacom Proximus as carrier.
    Best regards,
    Amaury Vaernewyck

  • HT4101 The SD card reader won't import images to the iPad. I purchase 10 months ago, and haven't had a problem with it until today. How do I remedy this problem? I'm about the go out of town and prefer not a travel with my laptop.

    My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!

    Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
    Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher)
