Dakota Handwriting Font Always Appears In Recovered Items On Login?

I don't know whether this is a Snow Leopard feature but I have only noticed it in recent months.
Every time I switch on my iMac there is a "Recovered Files" folder in the trash which invariably contains just the "Dakota Handwriting" font.
I have never paid much attention but this morning I became curious and opened Font Book to see what "Dakota Handwriting" was like.
To my surprise, it doesn't appear to be anywhere on my computer!
Any ideas or explanations?

OSX 10.9 Mavericks is there any way to hide servers which always appear in finder after login (hide login items doesn't work as stardered)

hi all my boss has just got himself a nice new mac and wants to connect it on to my windows domain at work, no problems there it’s all connect fine, one thing we done was to map a few of our network drives on our domain so he can easily load them to his mac, works great when it’s on the domain however when he goes home and logs in for each mapped drive it throws up a window saying it can’t connect or when it is connect opens up every drive, even after disabling them at login, now on the apple website the text reads "if you don’t want an item's window to be visible after login, select hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the finder after login), does anyone know any work around that can maybe solve this or point me in the direction where I can find one.

I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this الس but they always appear like that ا ل س

MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic. You have to use other apps. Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs are so uniform.
It began as a way for me to address a need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as all other fonts of its ilk.
To address that I wrote a script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document, looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
Each of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
-- This script changes the baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
-- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values, giving
-- the text a much more organic look and feel.
-- Written by Warren Ockrassa, http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
-- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
-- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with larger
-- or more complex files.

For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of myText)
you'd do something like
repeat with thisWord in (words of myText)
As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.

Portal Favorites iview always appear in detailed navigation

Hello,
I have a problem regarding the Detailed Navigation with the Portal Favorites iview.
The iview always appears in the Detailed Navigation, although the only thing it shows is the message "there are no items to display" (meaning that there are no favorites). This causes the detailed navigation to always appear even when there is no need for it (no navigation links and no other content attached to it).
I tried removing the Portal Favorites iview (because we don't use that iview in the portal and have no need for it) from the innerpage of the default framework page, and it works, but after the next restart of the portal, the iview returns.
Is there any way to remove it completely so that it won't appear again?
We're running EP7 SP14.
Thanks in advance,
Tal.

Hi,
Create a new framework page by creating a delta link of the original page and then modify that framework page.
Also you will have to create a new portal desktop and use the modified page and also set the desktop rules accordingly.
Thanks,
GLM

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Default appearance of disabled items

Hi, i would like to have some informations on visual attributes of disabled items :
--Is it possible to change the default appearance of disabled items?
--How oracle forms manage visual of disabled items?
--Is it possible to change background or foreground color of disabled items?
Thank you very much.
Edited by: Tabit7 on Jul 19, 2011 6:30 AM

This seems a pretty simple thing to test. For example, I created a sample form and in the When-New-Item-Instance trigger I added the following code:
:BLOCK1.ITEM1 := 'TEST';
Set_Item_Property('BLOCK1.ITEM1',BACKGROUND_COLOR,'r255g255b000'); /* YELLOW */
Set_Item_Property('BLOCK1.ITEM1',FOREGROUND_COLOR,'r255g255b255'); /* WHITE */Good so far. Background is Yellow and Forground is White. Then I disabled the item.
Set_Item_Property('BLOCK1.ITEM1',ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);and the text Forground color changed to light black or dark grey. So to answer your questions:
--Is it possible to change the default appearance of disabled items?Yes - but, not all attributes of the disabled item can be modified.
--How oracle forms manage visual of disabled items?The basic appearance of the item doesn't change except for the forground color.
--Is it possible to change background or foreground color of disabled items?Background color = YES, Forground color = NO.
If there are other attributes you want to change, Font Style, etc, I suggest you try to set the property and see what happens. As it turns out, you can also change the FONT_SYTLE of a disabled item as well. ; )
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?

If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi.

Time doesn't always appear

The time under the received column doesn't always appear. If I click on the message, it shows but then goes away. It's very inconsistent. Repairing permissions and restarting doesn't change the behavior.

I'm guessing you did not carefully read your owners manual, did you? Unless you are not going to be using your computer for several days at a time there is no reason to shut it down. Your manual states:
_Putting Your MacBook Pro to Sleep_
*If you’ll be away from your MacBook Pro for only a short time, put it to sleep. When the computer is in sleep, you can quickly wake it and bypass the startup process.*
AND
_Shutting Down Your MacBook Pro_
*If you aren’t going to use your MacBook Pro for a couple of days or longer, it’s best to shut it down.*

Below taken directly from the v1.6x API java.awt.Font class doco:he Java Platform distinguishes between two kinds of fonts: physical fonts and
logical fonts.
Physical fonts are the actual font libraries containing glyph data and tables to
map from character sequences to glyph sequences, using a font technology
such as TrueType or PostScript Type 1. All implementations of the Java
Platform must support TrueType fonts; support for other font technologies is
implementation dependent. Physical fonts may use names such as Helvetica,
Palatino, HonMincho, or any number of other font names. Typically, each
physical font supports only a limited set of writing systems, for example, only
Latin characters or only Japanese and Basic Latin. The set of available
physical fonts varies between configurations. Applications that require specific
fonts can bundle them and instantiate them using the createFont method.
Logical fonts are the five font families defined by the Java platform which must
be supported by any Java runtime environment: Serif, SansSerif, Monospaced,
Dialog, and DialogInput. These logical fonts are not actual font libraries.
Instead, the logical font names are mapped to physical fonts by the Java
runtime environment. The mapping is implementation and usually locale
dependent, so the look and the metrics provided by them vary. Typically, each
logical font name maps to several physical fonts in order to cover a large range
of characters.
Peered AWT components, such as Label and TextField, can only use logical
fonts.
For a discussion of the relative advantages and disadvantages of using
physical or logical fonts, see the Internationalization FAQ document.
