CrashReporter complains that "LastResort" font is not available

I have a brand new Mac Pro which I've been installing applications on. Recently I had an issue with Thunderbird crashing, the logs had a bunch of these entries (below) which indicates a system font is not available.
I've not removed anything myself. I'm concerned about this - how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Download and manually install the 10.6.5 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix it, reinstall the OS, which only replaces all the OS components and basic Apple apps, leaving everything else in place. If that fixes it, run Software Update, get back to 10.6.5, repair permissions, and restart.

  • Suddenly...some fonts are not available.

    InDesign CC 2014 Crashed today. When I relaunched it I found that some of my fonts are not available. I'm on a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.10)
    For example, two weights of Proxima Nova are available (Light and Regular) but the other weights are not. Those other various font weights are available in other apps (namely Illustrator).
    Below are various screenshots
    1. Screenshot from InDesign
    2. Screenshot from Font Book to show the fonts are active
    3. Screenshot from Illustrator CC 2014 showing these fonts are available there.

    I quite InDesign. Then I did a search and trashed all the AdobeFntXX.lst files that had a two digit number. I deleted the files and rebooted my computer. I then launched InDesign and had the same problem.
    So, I quite InDesign again and deleted my Indesign Prefs and Saved Data file and relaunched. Same problem.
    Very strange... since everything is okay in Illustrator, Photoshop and even an older version of InDesign CS6.

  • My font is not available in Illustrator...

    I am attempting to use a font that is available to me in Indesign CS5 and is installed on my computer (a PC), however the font is not available in Illustrator CS5. I have attempted installing the font in the Adobe Common File, but that did not help. I don't understand why a font would be available on my computer in general, but not in Illustrator. Any thoughts?

    May be Illustrator doesn't like it. Yes, I'm not kidding, Illustrator is programmed to be quite picky accepting fonts in its menu - the fonts must be top quality.
    Another thing is to make sure the font is in the Fonts folder in your system and not in some place available to inDesign only like a program's fonts location or if you are using a font manager.

  • Why adobe pdf file to  word converter professional online  is not available in India where ADOBE as a company itself has established such large offices in Bangalore etc...its ridiculous to see messages on cloud.adobe that some services are not available i

    Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of  posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
    There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
    My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
    And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
    There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
    I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
    To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

  • I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

    I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

    You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
    a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
    must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
    institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
    It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
    from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
    To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
    available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
    in the US with verified billing address in the US.
    You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
    cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
    the aforesaid conditions.

  • I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia.

    Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?

    Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
    Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
    I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
    You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up.

  • HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Hi,
    I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

    Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date.  All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue.  If that doesn't work, let me know.
    I am a printer tech for HP.

  • When I try to use the editor in Joomla, I get the message that cut & paste are not available.

    Hi -- I'm using Joomla to develop a website. When I try to use the editor, I get the message that cut & paste are not available. I am directed to instructions to edit the user.js file. I found the file in xhpnmg5i.default and then inserted the various 'user_pref' lines as instructed changing the site name to "http://localhost". This made no difference whatsoever so I downloaded an add on called allow clipboard helper. Looks great but how do you use it? There's nowhere on the screen that allows you to start the program. I've spend most of the day trying to do something that I'm surprised an open source program doesn't just let me do. HELP

    Uninstall the program then download and reinstall - activate with the serial number from your Amazon purchase.

  • I am getting a message that "my podcasts are not available at this time"  Second day this has happened, i have synced phone many times.  what is going on?

    I am getting a message on my iphone 5 for the last two days saying that " my podcasts are not available at this time"-any ideas of what this could mean?  I have synced phone many times.  Is it itunes?  My carrier?
    thanks

    I just figured out a solution.  I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod.  I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them.  That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • Why am I told that fonts are not available when the file was originally created in Fireworks?

    I get the "Fonts not available" message when I open up a document, i.e. open up a png document in the program/computer/etc. where the program was created in the first place.
    I don't get this. How can the fonts not be available when I'm using the same program that used these fonts originally? Having said that, the appearance doesn't seem to change.

    Are the fonts in question installed on your computer?
    Fonts are not part of a program, fonts are installed on a system. Once installed, a font is available to any program that uses fonts. If you're opening a document that was made in the same program, but on a different system, using fonts you do not have installed, then you will get that message.
    So... Are you opening a document that you created? Are you opening the document on the same system on which the document was created? Have you made any changes to the installed fonts (installed or uninstalled any fonts)?
    What version of Fireworks are you using and what OS are you running it on?

  • One or more Fonts are not available

    I have seen this problem on this and other forums in the past
    but I have never seen a response that made sense or lead to a fix:
    I created a flash file a few months ago. It uses a font called
    "microgramma". I now want to make some changes to it and I get this
    message:
    "One or more fonts used by this movie are not available."
    etc...
    The font is a truType font, works fine in every other
    application on my machine, but now for some reason, Flash doesn't
    see it. This is not the first time this has happened to me. It
    would be great if Adobe would address this.
    Flash CS3 on a MAC ppc with OSX 10.4.11

    You should be able to get this to work. (btw - mac guy :) Is
    the Font listed in the Flash 'Library' panel, or are you refering
    to the main Font menu, and embedding? I'm uncertain, and perhaps
    I'm mistaken.
    You can create a Font 'file' the resides in the FLA Library.
    Have you tried using the small icon in the upper right corner of
    the 'Library' panel, and selecting 'new Font...'? this should
    create a complete Font package?

  • Fonts shown as installed by Font Book not available to applications

    I have several fonts that Font Book shows as installed that are not available to any of my applications, including Word and Quark Express. These fonts include Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, and Arial Italic, all of which I believe were installed as part of OS 10.4, along with several other fonts in the Arial family that are available to my applications. How can I get all my installed fonts to be available to my applications?
    John Link

    HI John,
    Try deleting the FontBook pref file: com.apple.fontbook.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the .plist file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Word or QE and see if those fonts are available now.
    Validating fonts
    If fonts are not displayed as expected when you open documents or you cannot open documents, it's possible fonts have been corrupted. You can validate fonts to confirm they are still safe to use, and remove any corrupted fonts you find.
    Take care not to remove system fonts, located in /System/Library/Fonts; removing system fonts could cause some applications to quit unexpectedly.
    To validate fonts:
    Open Font Book and select one or more installed fonts to check.
    Choose File > Validate Font.
    In the Font Validation window, review the fonts listed for warnings or errors. Use the pop-up menu to display warnings and errors separately, if necessary.
    For fonts with warnings or errors, click the disclosure triangle next to the font to see which validation rules show errors.
    To remove a corrupted font, click the checkbox next to the font. Make sure fonts you want to keep are not checked. Then click the Remove Checked button.
    You can also use the Console utility to troubleshoot problems with installed fonts. In the console.log window, type "font" or a font name (such as "Arial") in the Filter field to find font-related log messages.
    You can validate font files before installing the fonts. To do so, in Font Book choose File > Validate Files. Browse to and select a font file to validate and click Open. Font Book displays the Font Validation window and indicates whether it found problems with the font.

  • AI CS6 OSX - font loaded, not available in AI

    So I've got a font family loaded (via Universal Type Server, not that it seems to matter) that is completely available in all applications but CS.
    It looks like the font is possibly poorly named and AI is collapsing all 4 members of the family into a single menu entry.
    Is there an easy fix for this?

    It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!
