CS4- lost 1/2 of my fonts via Suitcase Fusion trial??? HELP

If ANYONE can please help me ... today I downloaded a trial version of Suitcase Fusion 3 to see waht is was like. I also uninstalled it today.
NOW, all of my Adobe programs are missing (not pulling up) my enitre fonts list ie: basics like Myriad Pro are missing from the drop down menu among many others, and previous deisgn documents are opening with errors saying:
"fonts or characters are not available or in a different format than originally specicifed". Then, when I DO open that document, I cannot even correctly place the original fonts—they are not available.
My Fonts do show in my Library (iMac OSX 10.5)
Is there any way to restore my fonts? It seems like they are not "talking" to my software programs (all of my software ...including Microsoft word /excel etc)
Thank you,
Chemol

There is a cache of fonts... I would try:
Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
If that doesn't do it, try cleaning out ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 6.0/en_US/CompositeFont

Hi Chemol,
Sorry to hear that you're having issues. Good news is that it's very unlikely that your font files have been affected by Suitcase Fusion.
As pointed out by other posters, it's possible that you have some corrupt font cache files on your system. Suitcase Fusion 3 has the ability to clean out these files, but if you don't want to reinstall it, you can try out Font Nuke to clear the same files.
If you like, our support team is happy to help you understand how Suitcase Fusion works with your system, and help you get up and running properly.
http://www.extensis.com/support
I also highly recommend reading our Font Management in Mac OS X Best Practices Guide. This tells you all about where fonts can be stored in a Mac, file types, common problems & solutions, etc. The Suitcase Fusion user documentation is also very detailed about how to effectively manage fonts on your machine.
Hope that this helps.

Fontbook fonts not syncing with my software programs-after SuitCase Fusion Trial

I am hoping someone can offer some insight / help. I am frantic .....a graphic designer needing my fonts asap!!
TRIGGER/ Problem arose today -- I installed and then uninstalled a trial version of Suitcase Fusion 3 today - and now 1/2 of my fonts are not recongnized by my software programs (ie: all Adobe software, MS Word, excel etc).
Basically when I open up FONTBOOK it shows all of my fonts under the ALL FONTS column, however when I want to use them in InDesign or PhotoShop or WORD, or Illustrator ....etc (you get the idea) ...they are not available from any drop down menues. It's as though the Fusion Software trial delinked them from use in all my applications?
Does anyone know how to reestablish fonts as they are listed / available in FONTBOOK?
Is there possible corruption OR is it just something I need to reestablish in my system?
Thanks kindly,
Jhoe

You used the software's built in uninstaller correct?
Because if you didn't you need to install it again, then use their uninstaller first.
Next, download OnyX here
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects, you can cancel the reboot in between, but you need to reboot at the end of using OnyX.
This page especially should be of extra interest, it will rebuild your font caches.
Going to take a little time, but hopefully that will fix your issue.
None of your programs, files or fonts will be deleted, it's just cleaning out the system so it can rebuild itself.
If it doesn't work, then what likely has happened is the trial software didn't completely remove itself or altered something and didn't place things back the way it should be.
You should contact the support people for that program. They might have instructions.
But since you can't always count on them, it's always best to have a "hold option bootable clone" of your boot drive on a external drive which you can reverse clone from or use if your boot drive dies, and/or a TimeMachine drive where you can restore back to a previous state before the software install occurred.

Fireworks CS5 will not recognize suitcase fusion font

Window 7 Ultimate / 64 bit / Fireworks CS5 with lattestr update / Suitcase Fusion 14.2.0.319
I am working on a graphic which requires Helvitica Neue which I have on my machine as a postscript font. I activate the font in Suitcase Fusion, but when I attempt to set text in Fireworks in Helvitica Neue it always goes back to Myriad which is the default font. Is there a fix for this? I can fall back and create the graphic in illustrator if necessary which recognizes all of fonts activated in Suitcase.
Thanks,
Joe

Looking at a Quick Reference PDF for Suitcase Fusion 3, they call this feature Global Auto-Activation, and it's available in Preferences (this is where you can enable global auto-activation by application). However, it appears to be a feature for the Mac OS but not for Windows. Also, thinking about it, this is referring to "auto-activation", which is a bit different from what you're describing.
I like my suggestion to clean the application font caches; I really think that might help. If that has no effect, then I'd try cleaning the system font caches first, and then the application font caches. Just be aware that cleaning the system font caches may affect the activation statuses of fonts that reside in your system's font folders. (For instance, on a Mac, all the fonts in the Library, user Library, and System get activated following a cache cleaning. Fonts outside these system folders are unaffected.) So you might want to make some notes on this before cleaning the system cache.
If this continues to be a problem, Extensis has pretty good email-based customer service/tech support.

Illustrator CS4 crashes when scrolling through fonts via the character palette

Hi,
Question say it all - am using CS4 on macbook pro laptop. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen every time since installation? It only crashes when previewing fonts via the character window.

Hi & thanks for your reply.
No problems with the fonts as far as I can tell via font book validation.

Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
I have a document that previously had no font issues at all. Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed.
I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular. And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files. No Joy.
I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up. Nada.
If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
RP

Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
Never had to do that before.
Would be great to get back to 'normal'. If possible.
Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions. But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
RP
p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around. That didn't work either.

AI/CS4 crashes on Start-up - Suitcase Fusion 3 Issue?

I installed Suitcase Fusion 3 the other day. Now Illustrator crashes on startup. Could it be part of the SF3 auto-activation? It wouldn't be the first time it caused a problem, but I un-clicked the "Illustrator CS4" button, and it still crashes.
I did contact Extensis, and Isent them a System Profile Report. Their guy says he "sees some strange things" in it, and asked about classic and if I changed the default install location for AI CS4.
Any help will be appreciated!

I just wrote something in another thread here concerning Fusion and Font Book. They don't play nice with each other.
This should have came with your Fusion3 Install, but check out page 8 of this PDF:
http://doc.us.extensis.com/SuitcaseFusion3-User-Guide-Mac.pdf
On my work station, after setting up Font Book's preferences, I "disable" the program by making it a .zip archive so that it does not launch.
Concerning your .ai preferences, you have to go to the actual folder in your "Library" and delete the preferences. Illustrator will recreate this file once you launch it again.
And you can also go to the plug-ins folder within the illustrator folder to remove the Fusion3 plug-in.

Lightroom 6 - Missing fonts with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 6

Upgrade today from LR5 to LR6 CC and have lost lots of fonts! Understand an old problem, but can't find recent solution. I still have all fonts in Photoshop CC after update. How do I get my fonts back? They still appear in LR5.

Suitcase Fusion 5 v. 16.1.0. I'll check if there's been another update. But I'd installed one not long ago.
It turned out that turning the font off in Suitcase and back on again made it show up in the menu -- which at least worked once. But it doesn't explain why they all disappeared in the first place.
The problem does now appear to be at the Suitcase end, though because when I relaunched Photoshop they were missing there as well.
I certainly wasn't aware of any hiccups or power glitches, and Suitcase had been running the whole time.

CS4 with Suitcase Fusion

Considering purchasing CS4. Am using OSX 10.4.1 with Suitcase Fusion 12.1.6.
Any font issues with CS4 (especially InDesign & Illustrator).

The only issue I am aware of is how thoroughly crappy Suitcase has been for years. The new version of Fusion might be non-crappy, but I'd bet against that. My biggest issue with SF lately is constant conflict errors when I activate Helvetica Neue T1, since the dfont version is installed in the OS. I hope to convince the keepers of the purse to upgrade out fonts to OTF, which will probably solve the problem.
If you can, I suggest using Linotype Font Explorer. Its' free, much easier to use than Suitcase, has excellent preview features, and the auto-activation is tops.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

How to activate fonts in Suitcase X1?

I have a script that loads fonts into Suitcase X1 based on the location of a QuarkXPress document that is open on the local machine.
I have figured out how to get Suitcase to "open" the fonts, but for some reason I can't get it to "activate" the fonts so they are seen by QuarkXPress. (I have "Activate fonts when added to Suitcase" turned on in the Preferences but this only seems to apply to fonts loaded through methods other than AppleScript.)
Here's the Suitcase portion of my script:
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
activate
set theFontSet to (make new Font Set at beginning with properties {name:docName, activation status:activated})
repeat with aFont in fontList
add (aFont as alias) in theFontSet
end repeat
end tell
So even though I set the activation status of the font set to "activated" it doesn't activate the fonts.
Any help is appreciated,
Robert

As is so often the case once you post a cry for help you figure it out on your own:
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
activate
set theFontSet to (make new Font Set at beginning with properties {name:docName, activation status:activated})
repeat with aFont in fontList
add (aFont as alias) in theFontSet
end repeat
set activation status of Font Set docName to activated
end tell
This works.

Well, it could be that your carrier doesn't have a signal when it looses its signal. You could try resetting network settings which might help - Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. You'll need to set up any wi-fi networks you connect too again. If you're still having issues, contact your carrier.
Good luck!
