Font Books and how to print them?
At home and at work, I deal with a growing library of fonts- about 57,00 at the moment. We use FontAgent Pro at work and I just got it up and running from Suitcase X1 at home. One thing we're looking to do is print out a comprehensive font book, and we need an application that is up to the task.
FontAgent's font compare is primitive, and the last application we used to print out a font book was theTypeBook on OS 9. It isn't even being developed anymore! Does anyone know of a decent application that's comprehensive and versatile? We're looking for typical A-Z, a-z, 0-9, symbols, and perhaps a word or sentence.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Power Mac G4/300 & Mac mini/1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Just to clarify, I have about 57,000 fonts currently. Also, I just migrated from Suitcase to FontAgent Pro at home.
Again, any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I have installed a font from the internet into Font Book and saved it in my Fonts folder under my user library. How can I make it available in Word to type a document?
Font Management in OS X

Using Pages 5.2, I open a document created in a previous version, and I get error messages about certain fonts within a font family being "not available" in OS X. However, these supposedly unavailable fonts are present in Font Book and work just fine in all other apps running on OS X. In fact, I still have the older version of Pages on my system, and it still finds the fonts without issue. The specific fonts troubling me at the moment are Myriad Pro Semibold It and Myriad Pro Cond. Pages 5.2 replaces them with Helvetica. I have wasted hours of time trying to resolve this problem, and I am at a total loss. What can I do?
Like so many other thing is is probably gone. Why not use Pages 09 that has about 100 features more than Pages 5. If you haven't deleted it it should still be in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!
hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -
Font Book and duplicates. Strange Behaviour?
Hello,
I’d like to ask a question about Font Book and font duplicates.
Here is the situation. I’ve just installed Microsoft Office 2008 on a MacBook Pro (13’) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). After the installation is complete and all of the Office updates are installed, I went to Font Book to check for issues. Surely enough, there were font duplicates.
In all cases, the fonts installed by MS Office (/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/) are older than the Snow Leopard system fonts (/Library/Fonts/). However, when in Font Book I Ctrl-click to “Resolve Duplicates”, what Font Book then does seems counter-intuitive, to say the least: it actually disables the newer Snow Leopard system fonts and leaves the older versions of these fonts installed by Microsoft enabled. No matter what I do, I can’t get Font Book to leave the newer system fonts enabled and disable the older Microsoft fonts.
This seems wrong to me and a source of potential problems. For example, won’t disabling fonts in the system folder and activating older fonts in the Microsoft folder cause future problems for the OS X system?
Am I missing something here? Is this normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
StephenThanks, 'noondaywitch', for your quick and helpful reply.
Indeed, Ctrl-clicking on the individual font families, and then also on the individual styles of each font family (regular, bold, italic, etc.), one by one, seems to do the trick.
I went through them individually, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to Font Book’s logic if you unleash it on the whole lot at once. In this case, unless I actually checked each style of each individual font family, it would appear that Font Book sometimes left older versions of a font activated, while disabling newer ones. To me at least, this seems bizarre. But then again, I’m not Font Book...
Thanks also for the link.

First. when FB finds a serious issue, does it not load it?
Next. is it possible to extract a faulty version of a font that has several variations of that font inside.
In the "olden" days with ... was it called "Suitcase" or something like that... we could open a font file see what was inside and remove any variations.
If we can't do that with FB, what does anyone recommend. I have a faulty Bookman Bold, but in my Bookman folder all I see in Finder is:
Bookman
BookmBolSwa
BookmBolSwaIta
BookmCon
BookmOut
BookmOutSwa
So I'm guessing it lives inside "Bookman"
If I can't delete Bookman Bold, then my only alternative is to trash the entire font? Or at minimum Bookman?
This all started because I was reviewing my logs and see a number of failed validations. Oddly, I never turned these fonts on, so it seems like my Mac is checking all fonts whether installed or not? Here's an example:
May 11 12:24:09 stevens-mac-pro mdworker[326]: FontImporter: Validation failed - "/Volumes/New Pro/Users/ss/Documents/FONTS ARCHIVE/FFVortex/F.t1".
So I opened up Font Book and started temporarily loading fonts so I could find the faulty ones and then delete them off my drive. But I'm finding all fonts I remove from Font Book after analyzing them to end up in the Trash. But I guess it's just a copy?
Very confusing all this. Shouldn't be.
SA previous discussion stated (I can't remember who):
A’s with boxes around them is always a sign of trouble with the main system font, Lucida Grande.
Quick possible fix is to remove ALL font cache files from the system to see if it's just bad cache data. For that, you need to use OnyX or other utility which will remove both system and user cache files. A Safe Mode boot won't work since it only removes cache data from the user account you do a safe
boot to. If after that the problem returns, then Lucida Grande itself is damaged and needs to be replaced.
To clear all remaining font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window and hit the return key:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly, then hit the return key.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
If that doesn't do the trick, then reinstall the OS. -
I am operating on OS X (10.3.9) using Quark primarily and Font Book.
I have had sporadic problems with my scala sans font family. Font book recognizes roman scala sans and scala sans italic, but not caps or bold. At first the problem would be solved by deleting the font and reloading it. After a few months, bold and caps stopped working completely. I've tried troubleshooting by deleting preferences, clearing cache, uploading original fonts, etc. I don't think the font is corrupt because its working on other machines operating on the same platform.
A friend suggested I try Linotype. When I switched over, problem solved. All fonts recognized. That is until I restarted my machine. Linotype stalled and I eventually had to force quit. Once I did, I got an error message saying that scala sans was unable to be located.
Just to see, I restarted, opened Font Book and then opened Linotype. Now I can use my fonts but both Linotype and Font Book have to be active. What does this mean?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi edmac,
In short, don't have more than one font manager on your system at a time. Most likely, Font Book is still interfering with the operation of your fonts. I would suggest putting the Font Book application on another disk for safe keeping and then deleting it from the Applications folder. That way, only Linotype's font manager is handling your fonts. Otherwise, when you double click a font to activate it, for instance, both Linotype and Font Book activate the font. Essentially, they get in each other's way. -

Xperia Z2: 10 Problems Users Have, and How to Fix Them
10 annoying issues with the Sony Xperia Z2, and how to fix them
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/xperia-z2-problems/
I found this article by @digitaltrends on Twitter as I'm researching the Sony Xperia Z2. I hope these issues have been address, especially WiFi dropping. I'm interested in the Z2 because of the Noise Canceling feature, now I will have to do more research to find out which phone is more stable (even though it's a software thing).
Can anyone with xperince with Z1, Z2, Z3 which they feel is the most stable for daily usage and heavy videoing projects? Realiability being the key?I have the Z1 and have no issues at all - I find that article a load of tosh, How can something be an issue if the owner hasn't read the manual and as an example turned on Tap to wake or are using a 3rd party charger and wonder why charging takes a long time - These are not issues with the phone merely issues with the owner
