Font Crashes my Apps!

Hi,
I'm a graphic designer. I've been using a particular font for a few years. All of the files extensions for this particular font are .otf
Until recently this font has worked without problem. Now I get the following problems:
1. Opening documents containing this font causes FreeHand MX to quit.
2. When they do open selecting a text area containing this font causes FreeHand MX to quit.
3. Occasionally other applications quit when FreeHand MX does.
To try and remedy this I've deleted all copies of this font from my system. Obtained a new copy which has been tested by a third party and installed it.
I still have the same problems.
Can anyone please help!
Cheers

Quentin,
Can you please post the crash log?
It sounds like this could be the bug in OS X that affects applications who call FMGetFontFamilyResource() on OpenType fonts (which doesn't have a real font family resource, but the ATSServer synthesizes that data in the form of the "FondResourceCache" font cache file).
In your third case, it sounds like the actual ATSServer process is crashing, which may cause other applications that were relying on it to crash as well.
While the real solution will need to come in the form of a fix from Apple, many users have reported at least temporary success after using my Font Finagler application (or a comparable application) to clean the font cache files.
If you clean the font cache files and then restart, the applications seem to run okay until the next time you startup (unless you clean the font cache files before shutting down or restarting).
NOTE: because my Font Finagler application is shareware, it's possible that I could receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

After using Migration Assistant, printing crashes any app

Hi Folks,
I just recently added a new HD to my G4, installed Tiger 10.4.3 on it and successfully used the Migration Assistant to pull all my user info from the older HD that was running 10.3.9
Hurry for me, right?
Well even all my printer info copied over, but none of them work. When I try to print from any application, it crashes the app.
We have 2 Konica network printers that I can connect to either via AppleTalk or IP, neither option works even after I delete the printers and reinstall them. The printer IPs are static BTW.
I also made sure I was using the latest drivers from Konica.
Any ideas, similar experiences?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
933 GHz G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.5GB RAM

The newest printer is less than a year old but it doesn't work with LPD and correct queue name either.
It seems deeper than just these printers.
Even if I reset the printing system and only add the Adobe Acrobat Printer it crashes. I fear some died during the migration and is corrupted, i just don't know what it is.
we have 2 other Macs running Tiger and they print fine.
no changes to our network either. We have an Apple Basestation, but it has a static IP.

Can a include file exception crash an app server?

Hi,
          Can somebody please help me with the answer to this question?
          Question is: I have an include file in a jsp page. But this include
          file is not present on the server and hence it is giving an
          exception.This exception is being caught and a message is thrown on
          the console.Now, will this exception 'crash' my app server anytime?
          Also will the exception be thrown everytime a user tries to access the
          jsp page? Please help.
          Thanks,

          No. It shouldn't crash the app server.
          > Also will the exception be thrown everytime a user tries to access the
          > jsp page? Please help.
          Yes, until the file that is included exists or until the page handles the
          exception.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed frequent crashing of apps that never crashed before, error messages in their internet connections, and anything else that just doesn't seem right?

I am not able to upload or download any apps. This has just happened since the 3rd of this month.

The iPad does not upload apps.
If you're having problems purchasing or downloading apps using the App Store app tell us what exactly happens when you attempt to purchase an app and what, if any, error messages to your get.

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

can i be honest?!
imo the fonts in e17 are looking better than on the gnome-shot!
the fonts in gnome are blurred and letters like the "m" look like i'm squinting.

To work-around this bug remove any all-day events from April 1st.

How to use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps or e.g. Font Explorer X Pro on OS X

How can I use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps e.g. Pages or Font Explorer X Pro on OS X?

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! This help page shows how to select fonts from Typekit for desktop use and sync them to your computer:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
Once the fonts have synced to your Creative Cloud account, they will automatically be added to the font menus in all of your desktop applications, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
Typekit fonts are not added to your font management software, however; you'll manage these font selections directly from the "synced fonts" page in your Typekit account.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions! You may post them here on the forum or email us directly at [email protected] Best,

Salve,ho lo stesso suo problema,ho un iphone 4s con sistema aggiornato all'ultima versione(8.1.3).

How do I enlarge the fonts on newsstand apps?

How do I increase the size of fonts in newsstand apps?

Hat the deuce?
In 3 months no answer has been posted? I can't believe only 2 people have bothered to notice this. In most magazines you can just pinch to zoom until you get a comfortable text size, but a few are like the iBooks. You can't zoom in them, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the font size either! The articles just fill the page as is, and at 132 ppi... it gets a little hard on the eyes.
Really, no one else has been bothered by this? I noticed it just now after having downloaded Computer Power User (CPU), and I'm still a bit in disbelief at the fact. No font settings!

After effect CC 12.2 Crash - Dynamiclinkmanager.app??

Bonjour,
je viens d'installer plusieurs logiciels de la suite CC. (after effect + speedgrade + photoshop) en version d'évaluation pour le moment.
J'ai installé ces logiciels via Adobe Créative Cloud Installer sur un iMac avec Maverick 10.9.1. Le système est tout frais de ce matin (formatage bas niveau + instal du système).
Malheureusement, j'ai un message d'erreur l'orsque j'essai de lancer After Effects :
Et impossible de lancer Media Encoder... il plante aussi au démarrage mais sans message d'erreur…
J'ai vu que ce Dynamiclinkmanager.app sert à lier des progs travaillant ensemble, si j'ai bien compris dans mon cas ce serait AE + SpeedGrade…
J'ai essayer de :
- Désinstaller, réinstaller After Effects
- Démarer sans les extensions, réparer les autorisations (AE se lance en mode sans extensions)
- J'ai vu sur internet que c'etait peut etre lié au droits d'un fichier dans les préférences utilisateurs (utilisateur/biblio/preferences/adobe/after effects/12.0 et 12.2). J'ai tous mis en lecture et ecriture, rien n'y fait.
Est-ce qu'une âme charitable pourrait m'aider ?
Merci !!

Désolé mais personne à pu me répondre... chez adobe comme sur le net.
J'ai un peu tt essayer. Au bout d'un moment, étant un peu désespéré, j'ai
reformaté le tout, réinstallé est j'ai créer un nouvel utilisateur avec nom
factice. La je vois que ça marche.... Voulant garder le meme utilisateur
qu'avant (même nom et même mot de passe/réglages etc. sur mon réseau) je
passe sous le nouvel utilisateur >> j'efface l'ancien qui posait problème
>> je recrée un nouvel utilisateur avec le meme nom et infos que celui qui
posait souci... et la, en bootant sur ce nouvel utilisateur, meme *****....
AE et AMC ne se lance pas.
J'ai du donc changer encore d'utilisateur mais avec nouveau nom et
nouvelles infos... incompréhensible !

Are we allowed to embed fonts in IOS apps?

I am curious as to what is allowed with regards embedding fonts in an app for iPhone/iPad.
I wonder if it is the same as creating a web based movie and that you are allowed to embed whatever font you like assuming you have acquired the font legally. Or are there other rules relating to embedding fonts in an app? Obviously I want to keep on the right side of the law and also to ensure my app is not rejected.
Any advice appreciated.

Apple has discourged the practice in the past. There are many definitions of ads, so you'd need to contact Apple directly and/or submit a book to see what the current interpretation is.
