CS2 question - SVGs+default font

Hi,
I need to know if there is a way to change the default font for SVGs. I have done the thing with editting the "Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK" and "RGB" but that seems to only change the default font for new .AI files. Whenever I open a SVG (even though the only font in the SVG is arial) the font box always goes back to myriad. So when ever I need to add text to the page I always have to change the font - which is annoying as all get out because I update several hundred of these buggers a year.
Any ideas?

Bear with me guys. I'm trying not to panic. I have a ton of files causing me font problems.
Two issues:
1) I tried Find Font and it didn't work. When I go to Type, then Font, I find that Blair is listed TWICE - one of them has a blue TT next to it and looks like the font. The other Blair listing does not have a symbol to it's left, does not look like the font, and is listed like this:
< BlairMdITCTT Medium - diamond symbol - then closed bracket >
Now what? Do I need to close one of those and if so HOW, and which one do I close? I do not have font management.
2) Whether I hit "update or just "ok" to open these old illus 6 files into CS2, the same thing almost always occurs. I'll get the default font message and then I'll open a file for instance, that uses Trajan Bold and Univers. The file doesn't look right, as if it's substituting the fonts. Then when I then go to Type, then Font, these fonts are on the list just ONCE each, and they are listed like this:
< Trajan Bold (then a diamond symbol) >
< Univers (diamond symbol) >
If I highlight the Trajan Bold word in my document, for instance, a checkmark appears to the left of < Trajan Bold (then a diamond symbol) > but of course it isn't showing up correctly.
THEN, if I open another file that doesn't use these fonts, they do not show up on the font menu list at all.
Are these global problems easily fixable? Explain it to me like I'm six.
P.S. Do these particular font problems have anything to do with the "this legacy text must be updated before you can edit it" issue? Here is another question (link below) I asked a few months earlier which contains extensive answers to the updating questions. I thought I'd cite it below so I don't cause anyone to go off topic.

This might be a stupid question - change default fonts?

but I am unable to get the default fonts changed to the ones I want to use. Am I missing something simple/basic/obvious? Wouldn't be the first time.

IND CS2-CS4 Type Find Font default

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to alter the default font in the window when you go to Type>Find font.
I have to alter, by Find Font, one font in a lot of documents and it would be very time-saving if I could get the default to open with the font I need to change into.
At the moment, when I open this box, I get the default coming up as Times (T) when I'd like it to read - in this instance - Frutiger Std. If I could change this default, it would save me trawling through the drop down list of fonts I have open, on every document to go from Times to Frutiger.
I've tried altering things without any documents open but can't find where I could change this default and I can't get to the window without a document open as the option is greyed out.
I'm working on CS2 at the moment. I have CS4 (but not CS3) but can't use on this job because of the 'linking pictures' issue with client using CS3.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

I don't think there is any way to change that default, but typing the
first letter of the font should get you there quicker than scrolling
through a long list of fonts.

[CS2/CS3 JS] How to set Default Font for multiple documents

Hello,
How do I set the default font for any new text frames I create.
I have several thousand InDesign templates in which the default font is set to a font that is no longer licenced and therefore requires changing.
I already have a script which will open each template and change the first insertion point of any (empty) text frame to a new font but any new text frames created in these templates still want to use the unlicensed font.
Thanks for any assistance.

for existing documents:
app.activeDocument.textDefaults.appliedFont = myDoc.fonts.itemByName ('Arial\tBold');
for newly created ones:
app.textDefaults.appliedFont = myDoc.fonts.itemByName ('Arial\tBold');

Title Default Font Question

The default font for the "Centered" title option appears to be Gils Sans.
Does anyone know how to set a different default font, perhaps either for that title option alone or for all title options?
Not a big deal, but since I always use Arial for my titles, it would be convenient to have it default to that font automatically.
Thanks.

The easiest way I know of: control-click the title, and choose "open a copy in Motion"; then, in Motion, change the font and do a File->Save as... to something like "centered - Arial". Now you have a custom title that defaults to Arial.
(Of course, this only works if you have Motion; or you can ask someone that has it to create it and send it to you)

Default font missing?

I have a new 20" iMac that seems to be missing the default display font. All text seems to be thin and blurry in every application. Any idea how to restore this? It's actually my boyfriends, and he's a graphic designer...so he perhaps installed something that FUBARed the fonts, but I'm not sure of the correct way of fixing it.

Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

How to change the default font size in X11?

I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).
The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
Thank you very much in advance.

You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.

How do I change the default font in Comments?

I'm a professor and I grade papers with the Pages' Comments feature. I would like to change the default font and font size for Comments when doing Tracking so that my comments consistently use the same font and font size no matter what font the student has used in their paper. The only way I can do that now is to change each individual comment. Is there a way to do that globally? Thanks!

I apologize but I know that this question was asked and answered several times (I wrote the answers).
So, taking time to search in the existing threads with a request like :
comment AND font AND default
built from words extracted from your title returned 15 entries.
The first one is :

and it contain what you need.

Default font size for message buttons

I am using Office/Powerpoint 2012 and Adobe Presenter 8.
When a quiz question is created all of the elements use formatting from the theme, default shape, default text box etc. The appearance tab formatting can only be applied AFTER the quiz has been created and these settings are ignored when the quiz question is created.
I can manage all of the formats using power point formatting EXCEPT for the font size on the message buttons! It is always sized to 18pt. I am forced to navigate back to the appearance tab and "apply formatting to all existing quizzes".
It's not all that time consuming but it is an extra step that could be eliminated if i could only find how to set this default font size!!
The font size i am trying to default to is Calibri 16.
The font that is applied to new message buttons is Calibri 18.
Any idea how this can be accomplished?
p.s. Is it also possible to change the position of the buttons?

Hi,
You need to change the Quiz message font using the the Appearance tab in Quiz. There is no other way.
Also , you may change both the orientation as well as the position of buttons using the Appearance tab in Quiz.
Goto Appearance->button placement->Orientation
Appearance->button placement->Position on slide
Thanks,

Default font in a theme?

Hello,
Where do I find out what the default font is for a theme? I'm using the Sand theme.

Hello,
The easiest way is to use firefox and the web developer toolbar.
http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/
The CSS > Edit CSS and the sidebar will open up with all the stylesheets that are effecting that page.
You'll want to look at the theme_V2.css probbably.
And yes I could just tell you what it is but if I show you how to find it yourself you can answer this question next time someone posts it :)

HT4059 default fonts in ibooks

Easy question. I'm learning to convert some brochures in ePublishing for work. Is there a list of default fonts? I have a script that overrides, but Impact does not work.
Any help and further reading for ePub is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Niels,
There is some sort of entity settings file that Frame opens (in the background) during XML import that is actually a binary FM file and contains fonts like this. On FM11 on my machine it is here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\entfmts
When FM attempts to read it during an import, you'll get these font errors if your machine doesn't have them. The solution is to make a backup of the file, then go into the original and just replace those fonts with something else. I'm not really clear on what this file is for but replacing fonts in it have never had any consequence for me. But like I said, make a backup
See if that fixes the problem.
