FCP font question

I'm using a Chalet font for a project and there are 10 versions of this font.
FCP seems to pick the one I don't need.
Here's the deal...I have to use Suitcase which final cut does an ok job of seeing most of them. I have the font that I need activated in Suitcase and the others deactivated, but in Final Cut text the pulldown of fonts just displays Chalet when I need Chalet-NewYorkSeventy.otf
Is it hung up on the hyphen?
4x2.5 G5 3.5GB .5 TB storage Geforce 6600 dual 20" CD's Mac OS X (10.4.7) FCSuite HD 5.0.4 Sony FX-1 & M10U

I'd say your first course of action would be to deactivate suitcase and install the font with font book to be sure the whole family is live to your system.
Failing that I have had FCP treat some fonts as duds which leads to fonts either not being available or not being able to change the font fron the default Lucida grande.
If the fonts are postscripts and quite old this can cause problems might be worth looking on versiontracker for a conversion utility and convert them to either truetype or .dfont
Hope that helps.

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.

That's correct.

It seems to be out of favor.

Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

Monospace Font question

I am somewhat new to Oracle forms, i am using 10G so don't shoot me if these are dumb questions.
I want to left align my Prompts on my form but using Tahoma or Verdana the alignment is always off. I fixed it by using a monospace font like Courier but is there a way to get these other more standard fonts to left align properly? (i don't want to right align them)
Courier is not very readable and for the internet most people use Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.
My other question is that if i use a font that is listed in the Oracle Forms Developer will it automatically download them to clients that don't have that font? How does Oracle handle this?

No question is a dumb question. :-)
To left align prompts, you go to the canvas and select the several that you want to align. Then all you do is click the 'Align Left' icon on the editing toolbar at the top of the canvas (or use pull-down Arange, Align Objects, Horizontally-Align Left). If the web display is not left-aligned, you may also need to open the property palette on the items with the prompts, and set the Prompt Alignment property to Start. You should NOT need to fuss with a monospaced font once you do this.
I don't think Forms downloads fonts. Instead there is a font translation process where a font that is similar is selected.
Just a note... I don't use Forms 9i or 10g, only 6i (both c/s and web), so my answer may not be right on.

Font question in User folder

Does anyone know if you're SUPPOSED to have fonts in the User/Library/Fonts folder. I know it sounds like a stupid question but I thought Tiger kept all of its fonts in two places:
1) /Library/Fonts
2) /System/Library/Fonts
Thanks for any help.
Paul

Fonts in the user font folder will only be available to that user. It really doesn't make much sense unless you have a font in your handwriting that another user wouldn't need. I do know that Microsoft will install fonts in the current user's folder. At least then you know what installed them :~)

A font question in CS3

I get so ahead of myself and sometimes forget the basics of
Flash. These are gonna look like a newbie questions but I gotta be
sure.
If I use (example) Apple Chancery TTF in a Flash movie,
publish the file and look at it on a pc, unless the pc has this
font it will substitute it with something else correct?
If I do the same thing and use (example) Apple Chancery TTF
but save the font text as a symbol, I will get the same result
correct?
If I embed the (example) Apple Chancery font in the movie and
view the movie on a pc I should see the SAME font because Flash
embedded in the movie correct?

a font that you convert into a graphic or you embed will be
displayed the same on everyone's computer including yours.
a font that you don't convert and don't embed is only seen
correctly by users that have that font installed on their
computer.

Compressor in FCE & FCP quick question

Of course you can. in customization. do I get a dumb question award or something...am I the only one here writing to myself...hello...hello...well mr. Kitty I guess I'll never get any friends...

Avid to FCP User Questions...

Hi,
I recently made the switch from Avid to FCP - loving it so far, by the way. I have a few transition questions if someone can help me. These are things I've done fluently on the Avid and can't seem to find it in the manual.
1. How do you mix audio levels and pans in the timeline for multiple clips? On MC, I set in and out point for the range of clips and move the level for it up and they all go up. Can't seem to do this in FCP.
2. If I'm working in a 48K/16bit sequence and import audio to the bin, (or video too) is the only way to change the sample rate by exporting it with the sequence setting and then re-importing it? This seems like a lot of extra work if you have many clips. In Avid, it changes it simply in the menu.
3. If I wanted to delete effects and transitions on multiple clips in the timeline, how do I do this? In the Avid, I would select the range of clips and then simply hit delete.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

1. Highlight all the audio you want to effect...then type CONTROL-] to raise +3db...Control-[ to lower 3db. And Control + and - to raise 1db at a time.
2. NOt sure what you mean here. Are you asking how do youconvert the audio to 48k 16-bit stereo for use in the sequence? Convert it BEFORE you get to your sequence. iTunes does this for music, as does Compressor, which also does this for ANY audio.
3. Delete only the transitions and not the clips? Avid might have FCP there.

More font questions

What I can't seem to find in any of these replies--I probably just haven't found the right one yet!--is whether the new OS X Tiger can use older mac fonts or any of the free mac fonts available on the internet...and that goes for all free mac downloads. I can't seem to get ANYTHING in a format that actually works with this OS!
I have hundreds of great fonts on my older macs, but I'm guessing if they are not TTF (which most, of course, will not be) they won't transfer. Also, it seems that the vast majority of downloads come through as .sit files--not sure what that is, but they are not registering as fonts. Now what?

Hi rosy,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
This is more an OS X question than an Appleworks one, and you may get a more definitive reply by pisting in the Tiger forum.
".sit" is a suffix that identifies a file compressed using Stuffit, the 'standard' compression application for Mac under OS 9 and earlier. To open these you need the free download of Stuffit Expander.
If your older fonts are TrueType (which most of the scaleable ones will be) they should be useable in Tiger. Bit Map fonts (any that showed some sizes in black and others in outline in the Font menu on your older Mac) may not be useable in OS X.

Barry

Adobe Illustrator CC (Fonts Question)

I have a few questions regarding Adobe Illustrator CC:
1. Does subscription to Adobe Illustrator CC includes a font account (Typekit)? If so which one?
2. Can I use these fonts with my illustrations, graphics, icons, webdesign, banners, logos and sell them? Can I use these for commercial purpose?
3. If my subscription has ended with Adobe Illustrator CC, can I still sell the graphics I have created with the fonts?
I mainly want to start creating different digital illustrations and sell them online. I just want to ask these questions prior to using the fonts.
Thank you in advance

Adobe has sold you a license to use the fonts included with the software when you purchased / rented their software. As I understand it, Type Kit would be separate from the initial install of things like Illustrator and InDesign. When you purchase a font, you buy the license to use it. Commercially. Personally. They're yours with some limitations. You'd have to read the license agreement to find out what you can do and cannot do with the fonts. Once you've used the fonts in an illustration, the artwork becomes your property and you are the owner of the copyrights. Typically, if you'd used a font in your artwork, you would "Create Outlines", thereby converting the font into artwork. This should be done on a copy of the original artwork that uses the original "live" font. You sell and distribute the "Outlined" version and keep the original "Live" version for future edits if necessary. As you move forward with your venture, you should contact a copyright lawyer and discuss your situation with him/her. Your artwork distributed online will open you up to a slew of vulnerabilities, not to mention piratting ( illegal copying ). And, you must definitely apply with the US Copyright Office for official copyrights to your artwork. At a minimum, read the license agreement Adobe supplies you with concerning fonts and font usage. Also, consider joining The Graphic Artist Guild, NY and getting their handbook which includes details regarding your rights, copyrights, legal issues, etc.

Mac system font question!

I'm working on a Mac. American Typewriter comes with the computer as a system font. I've created a logo with this font. The client would like me to include the font in the "packaging" of the logo. Is this okay? It will be used in print, online and TV.

That is not a question that we can not readily or authoritatively respond to here since the font in question was not licensed from Adobe.
The American Typewriter fonts bundled with MacOS are indeed visible to and usable within Adobe applications. In fact, I did try creating an InDesign document using all six styles of that font on my Mac system. I also successfully exported PDF/X-4 from InDesign and the fonts embedded without a problem.
However, all that means is that Apple (or the foundry from which Apple licenses the font) have not put any physical security in place to prevent font embedding within PDF (or EPS or PostScript). That having been said, you would need to obtain the actual license for the font from Apple to determine if they or their vendor has any restrictions against such commercial use.
If you had licensed the font from Adobe, the answer would have been that you could embed the fonts and use them as you described. You could not embed them in an HTML stream or with an application program for dynamic use (such as with an iOS or Android application). But as part of a static logo, you would be good to go.
You need to see if Apple has its font licenses on its website to ascertain what their restrictions, if any, are. If the license is not on their website, you may need to contact Apple's legal department.

CC 2014 package folder fonts question

I'm in CC 2014 I had a client send me a package with all links and fonts, when I open the .indd file inside the main folder of the package I get the update links? box. Once the links update I get the Typekit dialogue box which shows I have 4 missing fonts ( no matching fonts in Typekit. When I click Find Font I see the orange symbols with the missing font but I already know that the missing fonts are NOT on my computer ( I have a Mac) But the fonts are in the fonts folder within the package. I also see ( in the dID font drop down, the fonts missing are in parenthesis.
SO my questions here are as follows:
do I ALWAYS need to EXTRACT fonts from the fonts folder in the package and place in my computer when I have this situation?
R

Make sure the name of the fonts folder in the package is Document Fonts and ID should automatically use them without other intervention with a few exceptions. First, it doesn't work with Type 1 fonts. Second, Mac format fonts are not cross-platform compatible, so .dfont or Mac TrueType will not work on Windows.

Kozuka Font Question

I have several versions of Kozuka installed on my Windows PC running XP Home and CS3. Kozuka is usable via Word and I can see the same versions when using AdobeType Manager. However, using InDesign, these fonts are not available to me. Can anyone shed any light on this?

First question is, 'are you sure'? It might be there after all, just not in the place in the font list you would expect.
InDesign does not display all fonts in alphabetic order. Instead, they are grouped by major writing system support: Latin (probably the bulk of your font list), then Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Chinese, and a couple more. Most people would expect "Kozuka" to be in the bulk list, but it's way, way, way down at the end, in a huddle with other "outlandishly weird" fonts.

10.6.5 font question

I have resolved a bunch of font problems I was having since upgrading to 10.6.5 by archiving and installing 10.6 and re-upgrading.
I now have alot more fonts in the computer section and some duplikcates which font book isn't resolving.
Here is a simple question:
for a font like Courier where I have a font suitcase in user>Library>Fonts
and a .dfont in System>Library>Fonts
1) which should I keep - dfont or suitcase?
2) Should I a) remove from inside FontBook or b) delete from folder in Finder and then rebuild FontBook cache.
best
Tommy Banana

My apologies -- I just noticed that I do have some font suitcase files in /Library/Fonts & probably elsewhere & they are supported in OS X. When I check them with Font Book, the "Show Font Info" function says they contain Truetype fonts. I'm pretty sure they are leftovers from the Classic OS days; I've probably discarded the ones not compatible with OS X.
All I can really tell you is the fonts in /System/Library/Fonts generally are best left alone but you will get better advice about this from other users that know more than I do about that subject.
But regarding installing Snow Leopard, it does not do an archive and install -- there is no archive containing deactivated previous versions of OS files & other items like there was with that option in earlier OS versions. A better name for the Snow Leopard version might be "Replace & Install," although that applies only to the new files that come with the OS. Everything else is left in place, except possibly for certain incompatible items that are moved to an "Incompatible Software" folder at the root of the drive.
That might explain where some of your duplicate fonts came from.

Totally bizarre XDCAM HD + FCP import question

I have filmed 40+ discs on XDCAM HD 50GB discs at 50MBs. These were then logged and captured using Sony's XDCAM pluggin for Final Cut Pro 6.5.
When the project file was taken on the drive with all the media etc and plugged into a macPro pro (2 x 2.26Ghz quad core 8GB ram) the project file could not see 1052 of the media files and asked to reconnect them. Something I didn't want to have to do for each file!
I then shot another job using XDCAM HD but this time at 35mbs per
second and on 23GB disks. Again it was logged on site using the laptop and again the desktop failed to recognise the
media for 626 out of 2685 shots.
I have updated the desktop to FCP 7.0.1. and it still doesn't see
them. I tried my friend’s desktop and it can't see these files either.
The files that can't be seen are in the lower part of the browser
which is in alphabetical rather than disc order (i.e. imported at totally random times). However there is
also a bin full of shots from just one disc at the bottom of the
browser and none of those files can be seen either.
When the projects are returned to the laptop that logged and captured them – it can see everything.
Not sure what to do
Does FCP have a limit on the number of files associated with a project? Or a reason why it would fail to see such a large number of files?
I am truly in the dark on this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Jasper

I haven’t responded in a while but I haven’t been lazy on this as I’ve been trying out a range of options.
Firstly I have tried the projects on another high spec Desktop and it refused to link the last third (roughly) of media as before.
Reconnecting the media files also doesn’t work.
You can find them using ‘Locate’ or ‘search’ but then once you click on the file it doesn’t appear in the ‘Files Located’ box below as it should it just disappears from the list of files to be found.
Is it a memory problem?
Clearly it is a large project and sometimes FCP can’t play the files it is showing in the browser because it is out of memory.
But I have a DVCPRO HD project that is 3 times as big at 1.5 TB which opens and plays perfectly well.
It also fails to see the files even if they have been put away in lots of separate bins.
Which brings us back to the original bizarre point of the question.
Why does it open and play OK on a laptop with less memory and less processing speed?
And why is it not connecting the final third of the media?
And why does this group of 1051 to 1061 unconnected/offline files change according to how they are arranged in the browser i.e. final third alphabetically or final third in reel order etc etc.
Please can anyone suggest any other avenues for me to try … it is driving me crazy.
Cheers
Jasper

FCP Exam Questions

Hi all. Next Monday I will start the FCP training course for Level 1. I was just woundering has anyone got examples of the type of questions that are asked in the exam. What should I look out for and concentrate on. Any advise would be great.
Regards
Owen

Get a book called Final Cut Pro 5, by Diana Weynand. It is part of the Apple Pro training series and at the end of each chapter are a handful of questions, all of which are taken from the exam you'll be sitting.
It's almost entirely multiple choice and includes questions that ask you to identlfy areas of the interface aswell as what tools do what etc.
You might get it as part of your course, but it's one option if you want to read ahead.
