Dreamweaver CS4 makes my fonts go mental?

I am using a G5 Mac running OSX 10.4.11
I use Extensis Suitcase X1 to managae my fonts
When I open Dreamweaver CS4 it fills my screen with error
messages saying my fonts are failing????
HELP!
(Every other CS4 programe runs perfect except Dreamweaver!
:-( which is not good)

Thanks for that but unfortunately that did not resolve the
problem :-(
This forum is my teams last hope of finding a solution...
I sent in a Customer Support Portal (Case #0180585412) and
the response was a little disappointing basically they say its not
their problem even though they made
indesign\photoshop\illustrator\flash perfectly with suitcase.
Response as follows:
"Good day! Thank you for contacting Adobe Asia Pacific
Support.
In response to your concern, we regret to inform you that our
support
center does not have the technical expertise to troubleshoot
on the
concern for we don’t have the Technical Know-How in
using Suitcase
Extensis for it’s not developed by Adobe. Though the
problem is
happening on our program Dreamweaver, turning off Suitcase
Extensis will
not give you the said error and since Adobe recommends
Extensis Font
Reserve and Extensis Suitcase for font management needs on OS
X, we must
refer to Extensis for assistance."
So I take it we will not be seeing a patch anytime soon...

CS4: Make _sans font bold?

First of all, I apologise for cross-posting but i'm not sure if mobile flash developers will know more about my issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/522887?tstart=60
I'm despreate for a resolution, or a reason for this behaviour! All i want to do is have one static textbox, using _sans font, with some text normal and some text bold! Pleeease help!! I didn't have this issue in CS3!

Greetings back from Manchester, UK!
Thanks very much for your response.
"it means that Flash knows that the device you are authoring for doesn't have a bold series" - I'm working with the N95 8GB device, and the bold glyph worked on CS3 _sans which is strange? It also works physically on the device. Do you use CS4? Can you make _sans font bold in CS4? I'm wondering if it's my setup.
"You only have to embed a font once for each .swf.....www.fontsforflash.com" - phew. I'm glad i only have to embed it once. I might try this option if I can't solve my existing dilemma.
Thanks again!

In dreamweaver CS4, I can't make border for single cell

Hi folks,
Having given up trying to make a single cell border in the dreamweaver CS4 template, I reverted to an html page and put in my own header, 2 columns and footer as cells in the html table. I know there's html code for adding borders to single cell, but I can't find it. I hope someone can give me a sample line of html code for giving a cell a border on left side and on right side, including 1px solid color border. Anyone?

Not sure if this is what you want, at least it will give you an example

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

Strange System Font in Dreamweaver. After I installed Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac, it loaded this strange font as seen in the photo attached. Anyone know how to fix this? I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times. No prob w/ other CS4 programs.

Issue with font dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
i have a powerbook with tiger and dreamweaver 8, and also i have a mbp with leopard and dreamweaver cs4.
My issue is with font rendition .. i mean, i setup both system a software with the same parameters, code view in Dreamweaver with Monaco at 8pt, and in Look (System preferences) disable antialiasing for font smaller than 8pt. The issue is the with configuration the code appears in two different ways. With powerbook the view is fine, instead on mbp the font is like with antialising and it appears out of focus.. why does it happen?
The only different thing is the screen resolution 1440x960 against 1400x900..
Do you have any suggestion? Or code font to suggest..
Many thanks

On the MBPro, open FontBook, select the font, then from the Menu Bar, click File/Validate Font and see if that helps.

kareem

Hi
As far as I know the BIOS password can be removed by Service partner only. There is a way to do it but you should know that this can not be published because on this way it will be possible to start every stolen unit.
Contact Authorized service partner and they will remove it. It can not costs a lot of money.
Good luck!

Can I transfer the font list into Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi and thanks for reading,
I just installed Dreamweaver CS4 after depending on DW 8 for
the last few years. It's a fantastic upgrade. But I miss my old
font list. I spent a lot of time creating a great list of cascading
fonts for my style sheets in DW 8. Is there any way to grab that
list and import (if that's the right word) it into Dreamweaver CS4?
I'm referring to the list of installed fonts that DW displays
after typing the CSS font property.

> In Vista, does is customized version there or in
> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\...
I think it can go either place. The former location is
vulnerable to a
reinstall, though, while the latter is not. I'm assuming
that's what you
are asking....

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

Code Navigator makes Dreamweaver CS4 quit, every time.

Every time I select the Code Navigator, Dreamweaver CS4 freezes for about 4 seconds, then quits unexpectedly. I've tried reinstalling my operating system (Mac OS X) as well as the program. It also happens on a brand new user. Any see this before? I can't find on any of the forums, or in google. Thanks!

If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means you have a corrupt personal configuration folder. Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it. When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults. For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
You may want to look at some of the other troubleshooting options as well.

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.</p>
So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

It could be a problem in the templates.
In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
I don't work with templates much.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.

Dreamweaver CS4 SPRY Menu Problems in IE

I am trying to have a drop-down menu on my site using the SPRY option in Dreamweaver CS4. In all browsers it looks exactly like it should. Unofrtunately in IE it pops out to the side instead of down. Anyone know a fix around this. The site is http://mtltechnologies.com/
Here is the SPRY CSS.

/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive

/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */

/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
        display: inline;
        f\loat: left;
        background: #FFF;
Anyone know a fix?
Thanks,

The code is too long. Let's do it this way, did you change anything on the default css of the SPRY menu?
just my thought, why don't you remove it from the table? That might be the cause. Try to think of an alternative way like using divs and css.

Old Website Mess in Dreamweaver CS4

I'm redesigning my company's website for them, and when I import their Index html into my Dreamweaver CS4, it's a mess, with everything set to the left in a long, list down the page. When I open it in Dreamweaver 8 on the company computers, however, it opens fine... but I'd much rather not work on such an old version of Dreamweaver. I'd also like to be able to incorporate it easily with my other CS4 apps.
Do I need to upgrade the version, or how can I fix these problems?

localhost refers to your local computer the reference probably should simply read css/title.css to make it document relative where css is the directory and title.css the actual stylesheet.
You have no background-color set (or background-color is set to transparent) but you have set a color. Make sure that cascading of colors keeps the text reasonably legible.
If you set a text color, a BG color may be required. Just a friendly warning in case you use red on red or something similar
font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative
Well, again, pretty clear. All font definitions should not only point to specific font names liek "Arial", "Helvetica" or "Times New Roman", but also have the generic serif, sans-serif or symbol definitions attached as a fallback measure. After all, text rendering depends on locally installed typefaces and some of them may not be available.
In (x)HTML+CSS, floated elements need to have a width declared. Only elements with an intrinsic width (html, img, input, textarea, select, or object) are not affected
Again, not all too difficult to understand. Elements that use float alignment can have variablke widths if not constrained. This will prevent other page elements from aligning correctly. A common application are sidebars, which for design reasons you always want to have a fixed width, so it is a good idea to define a width for the DIV that holds it, or otehr wise otehr page elements may go over or under it, obscuring information or rendering links unclickable.

Will Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with 10.6.1 Snow Leopard?

Hello
Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!).
I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 0800 028 0148 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.
But the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy.
I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to.
When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags.
Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).
Also when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should.
So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.
It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them.
re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to Adobe.com regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations).
My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications. Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together...
