Dumb Q on Properties Inspector and missing Font tools

I just upgraded to DW CS5.  In the Properties Inspector I somehow clicked off some options and can now no longer see font alignment or options like Bold or Italics.  Now I have to access it via the FORMAT option at the top.  I know this has to be simple but I have searched the web and cannot find the answer!!  I do have HTML clicked in the Properties Inspector.
Thanks,
Gary

What I dont get is Left Align, Right Align, Center Justify.  I used to get that until I clicked all of the windows at the bottom off and now can't get it back.
Read my reply again:
When CSS is selected, you get CSS options, which include bold, italic,
and alignment. However, it's important to note that using these options
forces you to create a style rule. In CS5, you cannot use HTML
attributes for alignment, except by editing Code view or using the Tag
Inspector panel.
Left Align, Right Align, Center, and Justify are now options in the Property inspector when the CSS button is selected. However, as I wrote before, these options no longer insert the HTML align attributes. To do that, you need to use Code view or the Tag Inspector (Window > Tag Inspector).
Dreamweaver CS5 uses CSS for alignment. You need to learn to use CSS if you want to use the Property inspector for text alignment. Why? Because CSS is now considered the standard way of doing it.

  • ATM Light and Missing Fonts in Designer

    When I try to open pdf files created on my computer in Designer, it suggests that all of the fonts are not in my system and wants to replace them. Of course they are there, they were just applied to text in the design program before I made the pdf file. I have ATM Light installed to manage fonts on my Windows 2000 computer. I'm wondering if others with ATM Light see the same behaviour. I've read that fonts need to be in the system fonts or designer subdirectory in order for them to be used by Designer. With ATM Light, I am able to store fonts anywhere on my computer and have Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc use them with no trouble. Is this not the case for Designer?

    For some reason i tried booting in safe mode before i wanted to reinstall things. And in safe mode everything was ok, all the fonts were working, menus were ok etc.
    So i went back into normal mode and it looks quite ok, but context menus are still missing fonts and even more odd... when i'm in fontbook for example the finderbar has the default font, but in safari and finder itself the font changes to something old again.
    I'm kind of scared to reinstall and archive things because i have lots off settings for wireless printers and internet locations on my mac school set for me. And i think i cannot really move those files back and let them work after the install...

  • DeComplier and missing fonts

    Hello
    I don't have the original source files so I had to resort to
    a de-complier. I purchased So-think. When I de-complied the swf it
    prompts me for missing fonts. Once I replace the fonts some of the
    text in the fla displays and some does not. A majority of the
    images are jumped and look nothing like the orginal SWF. Has anyone
    experienced this? Also, I think the SWF might be pulling in text or
    images from another file?
    Thanks for any support,

    Do you really mean that they are in "/System/Fonts"? That folder is not part of the proper OS X system file hierarchy, which would be "/System/Library/Fonts" -- if a font is in the place you indicated, it will not be recognized.
    You should be able to add the fonts in the proper location by using Font Book -- under the Font Book File menu, choose "Add Fonts...", then navigate to them on your hard drive and follow the directions. This should make the OS (and Font Book) aware of them. (Alternatively, you could simply move the font files and into /Library/Fonts.)

  • Keynote and Missing Fonts

    Hey all,
    I just fired up Keynote for the first time, selected the showtime layout, and then got a console full of errors. Well, it was actually the same error repeating itself. It was saying that I was missing Gill Sans and Markerfelt Thin.
    I searched and found that I actually had both of these fonts, but Keynote doesn't seem to notice. They both are in /System/Fonts.
    Any suggestions?

  • New properties inspector and CSS...

    Hi,
    Can you explain the new Targeted Rule section of CS4, on the
    Property Inspector?

    Any changes you make in the Property inspector are applied to
    whatever
    is selected in the Targeted Rule field. So, if Targeted Rule
    is "p", all
    changes are applied to the existing rule for paragraphs. If
    you want to
    create a new rule, select <New Style Rule> from the
    drop-down menu in
    Targeted Rule.

  • Properties inspector same as Properties panel?

    OK, this shouldn't be too hard for you Flash experts. I'm a

    According to Jen deHaan, longtime Macromedia/Adobe
    documentation
    doyenne, the correct term for this entity is "Property
    inspector" (note the
    singular "Property," even though the panel's tab reads
    "Properties"). In
    day-to-day use, people call this entity everything from the
    official name to
    "Properties inspector" to "Properties panel" to probably
    more. Speaking
    pragmatically, they're all the same thing.

  • InDesign Freezes when Missing Links Missing Fonts

    When I open an InDesign document that has missing/updated links AND missing fonts InDesign in a sense "freezes" as with both these error pop up boxes it refuses to recognize when I click on the "fix" or "cancel" or "ignore" buttons. The only way out is to force quit and the next time I start up and open the document when these boxes pop up I click "ignore" very quickly and then fix once I am in the document. very strange I know. Has this happened to anyone else?!? If so, is there a fix? Better than force quitting?!?
    I am working in CS3 and OS 10.4.11 (Mac of course :)

    Just a thought -- if you use the Return key on the keyboard, does it dismiss the dialog boxes?

  • Need help with font and bug with properties inspector bug

    Hey guys,
         I recentely bought a account at dreamtemplate and i'm working on creating my first website, ive got the basic down but whenever i want to change the font of one character in a word( lets say the k in kind to a different font) it switched the entire word or sentence to that font. ive contacted dreamtemplate about it and this is the solution they gave me but i dont understand it:
    To change the font, you need to put the TrueType font files of edwardian and Kunstler in the font file of the template folder.
    You may change the font of one character in a word as below.
    For example:
    In the HTML file,
    <h2 class="title"><span class="newfont">l</span>atest </span> <span >projects</span></h2>
    In the CSS file,
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'Kunstler';
    src: url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.eot');
    src: url('/fonts/Kunstler/ds-digi-webfonteot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Script.woff') format('woff'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.ttf') format('truetype'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.svg#ds-digi-webfont') format('svg');
    .newfont{font-family: 'Kunstler'!important;}
    Feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.
    if anyone can shed some light and knowledge on how to apply it that would be amazing.
    Also another problem i've been experiencing is that whenever i edit something in an html file (index.html) and save it and view it none of the changes show up besides the change in words(ie. no font change, no size change) but pictures are fine.
    Now my last which has bothered me a lot latly is an issue with my propertie inspector box, It works fine with an html file but whenever i try to edit a .js file it either goes blank or is greyed out, i've searched for solutions and have made sure im not in live mode, but no luck, i even reinstalled DW, still no luck. I need to edit a menu bar that is a .js and i cant do it with this issue. if anyone needs further info let me know.
    thanks in advance

  • [AS][CS5] Find and replace a missing font

    I have an overly complex script that compares the document's fonts missing fonts to the system fonts and makes a best guess. It was written to handle conversion of Multi-ad Creator documents to InDesign. It has worked 100% of the time so far. It needs a LOT of cleaning up and tweaking to make effecient, but that is not the point of my question. Everyday I am sent an InDesign file I have to work with and everyday it will has a missing font. Arial (OTF).
    I ran my script thinking it would replace it with Arial (TT). No problem...
    Ran it... nothing.
    When I use the find dialog in Indesign to search based on the applied font it works, the returned properties in AS contain:
    return properties of find text preferences
    font:"Arial (OTF)"
    Ok, fine so I try...
    set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to "Arial (OTF)"
        set applied character style of change text preferences to "Page&Header"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    Nothing.
    This has pretty much worked on every other font I've tried, so what am I doing wrong here?

    All right, back at it....
    I've run into even more fonts that it is an issue with. My basic thoughts on this are as follows: When bringing a document from Multi-ad Creator to InDesign the fonts are named in a way that InDesign does not recognize them. The thing is those fonts are really fonts that are on my system. It is simply a matter of rearranging the name of the applied font to match what InDesign would recognize. The thing is InDesign will allow me to use Find/Change to modify the fonts in the document.
    Now the fonts I've run across that give me an issue are fonts that do not correspond to any font on my system. I do not have any TrueType fonts, this document I opened today did...
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
            return properties of every font
        end tell   
    end tell
     {{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:3, name:"Times (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}, {font family:"Times (TT)", PostScript name:"Times-Roman", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:0, name:"Times (TT)     Regular", object reference:font "Times (TT)     Regular" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}}
    Ok, so let me try this (commented out are the different ways I've tried):
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myPage to page 1
              --return properties of "Helvetica (TT)" --"Helvetica (TT)     Bold"
            return properties of font "Helvetica (TT)" -- "Helvetica (TT)   Bold"
            set myDocumentFonts to name of every font
        end tell
    end tell
    Adobe InDesign CS5.5 got an error: Unable to retrieve the font's UID from its name.
    I was able to get the properties of the font using:
    return properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"{font family:"Helvetica (TT)", PostScript name:"Helvetica-Bold", parent:document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", index:1, name:"Helvetica (TT)     Bold", object reference:font "Helvetica (TT)     Bold" of document id 34 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", status:not available}
    Now I thought of trying the following:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    Now this does result in something, the find of the Find/Change dialog is looking for Helvetica + Bold. The only problem with that is it isn't looking for the TT font.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
        set myDocument to active document
        tell myDocument
            set myfind to properties of every font whose PostScript name is "Helvetica-Bold"
        end tell
        set find text preferences to nothing
        set change text preferences to nothing
        --Set the find options.
        set properties of find change text options to {case sensitive:false, whole word:false, include footnotes:false, include hidden layers:false, include locked layers for find:true, include locked stories for find:true, include master pages:true}
        set applied font of find text preferences to name of myfind
        set applied font of change text preferences to "Helvetica"
        tell document 1
            set myFoundItems to change text
        end tell
    end tell
    And nothing happens.. other than it trying to search for Helvetica + Bold
    I'll try some other ideas later when I have more time.

  • Missing Align Attribute & HTML in Properties Inspector in CS6

    Greetings,
    I have a couple of unusual issues. I just went to use Dreamweaver CS6 for the first time and noticed a couple of missing things.
    One I cannot see the align attribute to align my image left or right (I just hand coded it for now). Strange?
    Secondly is there not a CSS and HTML inspector in the properties panel? I only show one properties panel now.
    I tried to upload a screenshot showing the missing inspectors and the missing align attribute but with no success...
    Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Martin

    The point that I was trying to make is that if it's still used, why get rid of it?
    With each new release, modern web browsers move one step closer to realizing full standards compliance.  Eventually deprecated code will be ignored by all browsers such that <align> & <center> will have no effect other than throwing errors into the HTML.   DW is targeted mainly at web designers who want  standards compliant code; not e-mail designers. 
    Anyhow, so what are these other tools you mention for email?

  • Finding and replacing Missing Fonts

    Dear All,
    I need to find the missing fonts in the InDesing document and replace them into correct fonts using JavaScript.
    Pl. help.
    Thanks,
    ArcRaj

    Ole,
    For a moment you had me rejoicing (I hadn't tried this in 5.0.3 yet). But my joy was short-lived, as I still can't get it to work. For instance,
    app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont =
    app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold');
    still tells me that "The requested font is not available." That font is not installed on my system but is used in the active document.
    Absent fonts seem to confuse ESTK. Getting some properties of this non-installed font leads to different results:
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').index
    gives -1. Don't know what that means, but there's a result and no error.
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').fontFamily
    gives Swiss 721 BT. Result as expected. (It's not the case that to return this property ESTK doesn't bother to check whether the font exists: ...('Olav Kvern\tBold').fontFamily produces an error.)
    -- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').location
    doesn't do much apart from repeating the property name. No error, nothing in the console; just "location" in the staus bar at the bottom of ESTK's app window.
    Am I missing something?

  • I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

    Hi
    I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
    We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
    Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
    Please help!!!!!!

    There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

  • Missing inspector and media browser please help

    Hi, I have been happily editing in iweb - building a new website... but today suddenly I have found it impossible to make the Inspector to appear and the media browser is also absent - no matter how many times I click the appropriate buttons.. on the bottom of the screen - or from the top menu - I have been trying to insert hyperlinks - and the default hyperlink is made - but I cannot see the panel to alter it...
    I have tried rebooting the program several times - and the computer too... but no use. Still no inspector or media browser anywhere in sight - not visible even in Expose
    - although the adjust, colours and fonts menus do appear

    thank you for the suggestion - I have now run Disk Utility - and, although it picked up a surprising number of permissions to repair relating to Quicktime - Iweb is still faulty. I also tried today reinstalling it from my master disk - but this has not made any difference. I still cannot make the Iweb inspector or media viewer show themseves.
    I am at a complete loss - I was sure reinstalling would work.
    Anyone with more ideas? A lot of web pages are up on a new site - but this has stopped me dead.
    I ran another program today that uses apparently the same inspector and media viewer - Rapid Weaver - and the panels appeared and worked normally - but I cannot import iweb files into this program to sort them out.
