Favorite Fonts List

How can I select my favorite fonts and separate them from the entire fonts list so I can access them for efficiently? Years ago Word would automatically put the fonts I used most above the first "a" font in the list, making it quite easy to find.

(1) Does Pages 08 have tear-off (floating) menu capability? I want to have the <StylesDrawer> pull out and be placed anywhere on screen. Will Pages 08 allow this?
No.
(2) Can I create a list of <favorite fonts> at the top of the font menu so I don't have to scroll down thru all the fonts to get to the fonts I want?
Make a favorites list in the Type Palette. Pages will list recently used fonts at the top of the menu.
(3) I want to edit an existing paragraph style….I've tried double-clicking on, right-clicking, etc to find where and how to add/edit other parameters to that style. Seem to be missing the solution.
You take a sample of the existing paragraph style, alter it, using the Inspector palette, then with the cursor in it update the style in the styles drawer (right click on the style name).
(4) Does Pages have the ability to outline a photo…remove background from a photo?
Yes, it is called Instant Alpha and is under the Format menu. You can also make considerable adjustments to the image itself with +Menu > View > Adjust Image.+
I suggest you download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu and also view the Video tutorials in the same location.

Your Favorite Fonts

I have a ridiculous amount of fonts on my computer. Most of them I don't use, but I'm afraid the minute I delete them, I will need them. It's quite annoying to scroll through my looong list of fonts. Unfortunately most are free (i.e. not necessarily the mainstream fonts) because I work at a nonprofit and we can't afford to spend money on fonts.
What are your favorite fonts? Gold star for free fonts.
Is there an affordable design font package anywhere? I can't use whimsical fonts. They need to be more business-like.
What is the purpose of font management software? How does it help you? How does it integrate with your Adobe software?
Are there any nice (free or very inexpensive) font management software you would recommend?
Please note I am on PC (Window 7) so anything geared toward Macs won't work.
Thanks!

freckles,
I'm afraid the minute I delete them, I will need them.
You may move them to another folder, with the option of moving them back if you need them.

What are your favorite fonts? Gold star for free fonts.
Top two (oldies, no gold star, sorry):
New Baskerville (the fairest font),
Helvetica for non serif use (the real one, not the fake one).
And then some more.
After getting rid of most of the serious uglies that seemed to be completely useless, the total number was reduced to some 700 (after overdoing it and deleting some more uglies that were needed for the OS so it was necessary to restore the main drive from a backup image of it, and then start over again), with no real need for font management.

Font list wrong in InDesign CS3

I use Linotype FontExplorer X to organize and activate fonts and have been very happy with it. All of a sudden I'm finding that though I have the font "Times" (with roman, italic, bold and bold italic) activated, the font list in InDesign CS3 shows "Times (TI)" (which only has roman) and "Times (BM)" (which only has regular). If I launch InDesign CS2, the font list is correct, showing "Times" (with roman, italic, bold and bold italic) and not "Times (TI)" or "Times (BM)". What gives?
I'm using system 10.4.10.

The usual first step for this kind of error would be to delete the Adobefnt*.lst files, where the * is any number.

Font list just keeps getting longer!@!

hello!
i use suitcase fusion with my illustrator CS2.
I have noticed that in some files the font list is very long, and once I open a new font or activate it it is listed in the font list and openned every time I open the file.
is there a way to delete fonts from the list???
I delete swatches and patterns etc. when I save a file to make it a little smaller and open faster, now I am onto the fonts.

If the fonts are used in the document, you can replace them by selecting: Type > Find Font.
If the listed fonts are not in the Find Font dialog and they are not active in either Font Book or Suitecase Fusion, then it is possible that the font list files have become damaged. You may be able to reset the list by reseting the font list files:
1. Quit all open applications.
2. From the Finders menu go to File > Find.
3. Select the hard drive name and select File Name from the Search options.
4. Change the Kind field to Name.
5. Type the following in the search field: Adobefnt
6. Move any of the resulting files to the Trash and then empty the trash.
Once these files are deleted, relaunch the product and attempt to reproduce the issue. The font list files will get recreated as needed.

Outline View In Isolation Mode + Scrollable font list on mac like its on PC

I would love to have outline view available when in isolation mode.. Not sure why its not available.. Also would like to have the scrollable font list on the mac version like how it is on PC..

Outline view is available in CS4. At least on a mac, OSX 4.11.

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?

Feature Request: Consistently Intelligent Font Lists across all CS Program

Current Problems/Inconsistencies in Font Lists + Suggested Solutions:
NUMBER OF FONTS SIMULTANEOUSLY DISPLAYED:
Premiere Pro (PP): 16 (too few!)
AE: 19 (too few!)
Photoshop: 40 (adequate)
Illustrator: auto-maximizing (displays as many fonts as screen supports, 50 on a 1920x1080 monitor)
*SOLUTION: Make all font lists auto-maximizing like Illustrator!
FONT PREVIEWS:
PP: Yes (6 user-defined characters previewed next to font names)
AE: No previews
Photoshop: Yes ('Sample' displayed in each font, but too small for comfortable viewing)
Illustrator: Yes (Each font name is displayed in actual font, but this makes it inconvenient to know the name of 'Dingbat' fonts.)
*SOLUTION: Make all font lists display font names in left column, with 'Sample' displayed in the actual fonts to the right. When users select any text, replace 'Sample' with the first 1-30 selected characters for instant previewing in all available fonts (e.g. selecting the '&' character would display '&' in all available fonts for instant comparison). Also make font lists resizable with a horizontal zoom bar at top of list to ensure comfortable viewing for everyone.
SCROLL BAR:
PP & AE: Yes
Photoshop: Yes (perfect size and color scheme for best visibility)
Illustrator: No (current scrolling method is frustratingly slow!)
*SOLUTION: Add a Photoshop style scroll bar to each font list for best visibility/usability.
FONT SELECTING WITH ARROW KEYS:
PP & AE: Yes, by arrow-keying up/down in both the font fields and font lists
Photoshop & Illustrator: Only from the font fields. Highlighting fonts with the arrow keys in the font lists doesn't result in font visualizing.
*SOLUTION: Allow PREVIEWING of fonts by arrow-keying up/down in font fields and font lists in all CS programs. I emphasize 'previewing' instead of 'selecting', since previewing fonts avoids the problem of unnecessary undos being created for each font visualized with the arrow keys. (Note: Arrow-scrolling through the font field in Photoshop's Options bar works as I suggest, by 'previewing' each font without creating unnecessary undos. Unfortunately, arrow-scrolling through the font field in Photoshop's Character panel does create useless "Set Character Style" History states for every visualized font. This kind of inconsistency even within a single program is crazy!)
CONCLUSION:
CS programs are all part of the same family, and should therefore behave as such with consistently intelligent tools. This includes font lists with a consistently intelligent design.
Please comment and share! Let's get these glaring font list inconsistencies finally fixed!

If you want to do this correctly you need to file a request for each feature.
Ripple Sequence and Chapter Markers is already implemented. Sequence markers are the same as chapter markers, yes? (Ripple Sequence Markers, select Marker > Ripple Sequence Markers.)
Ability to print the Keyboard Shortcuts, or save all of them as a text file. also available. (hold ctrl+shift while opening. A button with clipboard appears)
Keyboard shortcuts to scale image zoom in Source and Program tabs. available
Keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease playback resolution. available
Make Export and Title windows return to the previously adjusted size and placement. They do.
Some feature you posted are great. How about a eyedropper tool for the Color Matte?
I find the Magnet for Snap quite visible. There is also this feature in the Pref to make the playhead snap.

HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems. Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book. I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts. Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful. I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster. I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere. The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font. Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works! Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear. Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use. You can click onto that folder to change its name. Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted. This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

I have installed the font Broadway on my computer and it works in Microsoft Word but does not appear in the font list in InDesign. How can I fix this problem?

I have installed the font Broadway on my computer and it works in Microsoft Word but does not appear in the font list in InDesign. How can I fix this problem?

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Font (times) not showing up in Dreamweaver, not in preferences font list

I'm on a computer using 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and Dreamweaver CS5. When we apply a style of Times New Roman to the text, it remains in it's default state (sans serif). When we apply a font family style, including times and a default serif font, the font still appears sans serif. This makes it seem like dreamweaver thinks the font it has is times, or it would default down the font family chain. When we preview in the browser the correct times new roman font is used.
I thought it might be all adobe apps, but photoshop and illustrator display times just fine. We've validated the font in font book, cleared up duplicate problems with other fonts in font book. We've used onyx to clear the font cache several times. After clearing the catch dreamweaver goes into some kind of font routine and takes about 15 minutes to get out of it. When I sample this process from activity monitor I see it running tons of font related routines. One time after this routine the correct times new roman font appeared! But after a program restart it disappeared again. Please help! We've spent hours already on this yesterday and am not looking forward to losing another half day today!

In addition to onyx I've also used the recommended "Font Finagler" application for clearing the font cache and working with fonts. It and font book both seem to validate and approve the times new roman font.
I logged in as another user and experienced the same problem.
In addition, I have a host of other fonts in the aphabetical ti-uvwxy range, and none of them show up in my font list in the system preferences font drop down. "Times", the first fallback font for the font family is within this missing range as well and does not show up. I know this list is for choosing the system fonts for the interface but I think it further points towards there being some kind of bug or problem with loading my entire font list into the application.
Again, these fonts work fine in the other adobe applications, just not in dreamweaver. I'll try and upload an image of the font list. You'll see it cuts off right at fonts that start with "th" even though I have loads of other fonts between t-z.

Fonts not appearing in CS3 program font lists

Certain postscript fonts (ZapfDingbats and Rubino Sans) are correctly installed in Windows 7 and available to Microsoft programs (Word and Excel) but not to Adobe programs. That is, they do not appear in any of the CS3 Design Standard applications (PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator) font lists when the application is open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the fonts and CS3 to no avail. I have added shortcuts to the Common Files/Adobe/Fonts directory to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I assume by PostScript fonts you really mean Type 1 fonts. (TrueType and OpenType fonts are every bit as much "PostScript fonts" as Type 1 fonts are!)
There is a known problem with the CS3 applications with all Type 1 fonts under all Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit versions when such fonts are installed in the Windows System Font directory. The problem is fixed in CS4.
The workaround is to copy all the Type 1 font files (both the .PFB and the .PFM files - each Type 1 font has one .PFB and one .PFM file) to the Creative Suite's private font directory. Depending upon the CS version, that may be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Restart the Creative Suite programs you are using and the fonts should appear.
You may also copy said fonts into the private font directories of the individual applications (typically a directory path ending with the node name Fonts.

Helvetica Neue PostScript fonts not appearing in font list

Just curious if anyone else out there on a Mac (I'm on 10.5.8) is having trouble with Helvetica Neue (or any other System fonts) being accessable from the Fireworks CS5 font list?
I expect that I should see a whole slew of Helvetica Neue typefaces (PostScript) in my list (from 25 Ultra Light on up to 107 Extra Black Condensed Oblique) but instead all I get are the TrueType options that you see in the image below:
Also, Helvetica Neue appears in my font list twice... but both options give the identical TrueType font choices.
The crazy thing is that I can copy/paste a string of editable text from Photoshop and it will display the correct typeface AND maintain its editability within Fireworks CS5 but, the second drop-down menu appears blank. It's almost as if the system knows I have the PostScript font installed and available, but Fireworks doesn't know how to let me choose it.

I'm having this same issue. I can fix it by removing the system version (dfont) but then my browser won't show the font properly (outlines). I've got the whole creative suite and this is the only program that has this issue.
When I migrated from CS3 to CS5 this happened. Fireworks won't show the Post script version unless you remove the system font.
Adobe should use the same text/font handling throughout the suite.

Webfont not displaying properly in design mode or appearing in font list

Just updated Muse and now my heading webfont (Nunito) is not displaying properly in design mode or appearing in the font list. It is, however, displaying properly in preview mode. When I try and delete the font and then add it again I get an error message that says the font can't be added. Any idea what's going on?

Hello,
Please try the steps below. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
1. Close Muse
2. Rename the folders named tk1 and tk2 in the following locations
On Windows: %appdata%\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2\Local Store. You can type this in the Path bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window
On Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2/Local Store. You can type this in the Go To Folder dialog (Shift+Command+G)
3. Launch Muse and add the font again
Please let me know if that helps.
Regards
Vivek

How do I get the truetype font to show the actual font in the font list

I am trying to find an option somewhere in Yosemite, where I can elect to have the font list show the actual font face in list format. It has been there prior to the Yosemite update, but now the list shows all fonts in the same font face.
