Change font menu source?

In the font menu in Pages' toolbar, I see all fonts installed on my computer - even those in other scripts such as Arabic. On the other hand, in TextEdit, I see only the fonts in the "English" list in Font Book. Is there any way I can make the font menu in Pages (and the rest of iWork) work the same way? Could I do the same in Office 2011?
I'm hesitant to disable those fonts on the system level to get the same effect. While they're not on the list of required system fonts, as they represent other scripts the computer is capable of showing, I think there might be unintended consequences.

How to change font-size of application menu

I want to change font-size of application menu. How?

Hi,
To change the font size of the Application menu, you need to change main.css file.
at 'body, td, input, select, textarea' class.
For more detail about main.css, please refer Bookshelf
Siebel Developer's Reference at [8 Cascading Style Sheets].

HT2473 How do I change the menu bar size? without changing resolution. Also there is no way to change fonts of the safari menu bar and items. How do you change that?

guys I need to change the menu bar on my mac. so I can view that clearly while sitting on my sofa or I am swithing back to windows.
Thanks

Hi, sorry to say, but OSX can't do that.

Can't change the font directly in the FONT MENU.

Recently I noticed a strange problem (?) When using my ADOBE INDESIGN CC 2014.2 When I try to use the fonts, I can only see a message asking me to connect with typekit .
But, even after connecting it to my adobe account, I can't access my local fonts. The only way to access my fonts is goint in the menu TEXT > Fonts (as seen below).
From there I can access all the fonts normally.
The program is updated and I have no idea how to solve it.
Can you please help me to solve this issue? Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi Isis,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. It looks like you have the Typekit filter turned on in the font menu, so it is only showing those fonts you have synced from Typekit. Since you haven't synced any, the list is blank.
To turn off the filter, click the grey T at the top of the menu.
Once the Typekit filter is turned off, you should see all of your installed fonts listed again.
Please give that a try, and let me know if you have any other questions. Best,
-- liz

How do I change fonts in a Text field ??

Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
Oops! Sorry, missed that.
So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.

Is there a way to group fonts in my font menu?

In CS6 on my Mac, I downloaded a bunch of fonts, installed them, and opened PS. When I select text and go to the font options drop-down, it is hard to find the new fonts that I want to work with unless I go back and check each font name, etc.. There are various groupings of fonts already there by default, and I am not clear on the reasons why they are grouped the way they are.
1. Is there a way to place certain fonts into certain groups/customized so I can easily try out the new fonts on my files?
2. Why are there 7 groups of fonts, each separated by horizontal lines in my font drop-down menu?
Thanks in advance!

I can recommend the Fonthero plugin for Photoshop. http://www.layerhero.com/fonthero/
I have it, the support is great and I like being able to change fonts in a Type layer in a single click. CC 2014 compatible only. $39

Hi All,

Then try to change the font color from the font menu icon. It does not work. But after selecting the text in text box 1 and trying to change the font size from the menu seems to work fine. Can any one plz help??

Motion 3 - Crashes every time I try to change font

I'm having trouble with Motion on my Mac Pro at work. I'm trying to create a title graphic. I can create a text layer and type the text, but when I choose the font drop-down list from the HUD, Motion crashes. Help! It's getting a little frustrating.

hi
i have been having the same problem. I went through my entire font list and disabled the ones it had a problem with. But then ones it was fine with before will crash it now. One way to absolutely make motion crash is to to use the Font menu in the text inspector and scroll down it to dynamically change the font. This will always crash it. The way round it is to get the menu up, pause and then scroll down and make a choice. This way the text object doesn't automatically update.
If you look at the crash report in my case, it seems to related to a call to GetGlyphMetrics. This didnt happen before we had the glyph control we have in M4, so I can only assume there is something screwy with the code, now it is doing more with the text objects.
not helpful, but you are not alone.

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Change font size on macbook pro 15 retina

HELP... Cant see the words
can someone please tell me how to change font size on macbook pro 15 retina... I have this HUGE screen but the font on the screen is SUPER small.... can someone help me

Sorry, OS X hasn't evolved to a scalable UI type for hard of seeing users. If you drop the resolution your type gets blurry.
However I have two solutions.
1: You hit System Preferences > Accessibility and set a control key for zoom/in out, set the zoom to where the pointer is at and get a third party scroll wheel mouse. This way you hold the control key and can zoom in/out anywhere the mouse is pointed at.
2: You follow my User Tip here and use Firefox with the associated add-ons.
Since Firefox is customizable, your able to create larger menu type and have web pages automatically zoomed (full page, graphics and all) to your minimal needs.
Also FF will remember your window size so your not having to resize that each time you open the program. There is also a Full screen option.
Since web browsing takes up a lot of time on machines, at least you have that part licked. If you use web based email like GMail, since it's in a web browser that is zoomed as well.

Change font in Adobe Acrobat Extended Pro

I was wondering how I am able to change the font in Adobe Acrobat. I know we can use the type writer, but how can I make it my own font, color and size? Please help! =)

You cannot create fonts with Acrobat.
Doing so requires a dedicated font creation application.
Or purchas of Fonts to augment what the OS and applications install.
To change fonts in a PDF to something else that is on the local machine and available to Acrobat you could try this:
Select characters with the TouchUp Text too.
Right click for the context menu.
Select Properties.
Select the Text tab.
Look over the configuration options to see if they meet your needs.
Be well...
