Font crashing applications on my mac

I recently installed about 300 fonts on my brand new iMac, intel-core. I didn't think it would be a problem seeing I know people with alot more on half the computer mine is. Problem is when I open Adobe Flash cs4 and change the font on a text field, when im am scrolling through the fonts it crashes the program:(( I deleted all the fonts for now, please give advice if any.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"I recently installed about 300 fonts on my brand new iMac, intel-core. I didn't think it would be a problem seeing I know people with alot more on half the computer mine is."*
It depends on the fonts and which applications they are being used in. Some might be compatible on one Mac but not another.
Remove the font you are trying to use with CS4 and see if the app still crashes.
Open the FontBook application. From the Menu Bar, click FontBook/Preferences.
Make sure: Validate fonts before installing is checked.
Also, with the FontBook app open, select the font you are trying to use with Adobe Flash, then from the Menu Bar, click: File / Validate Font
If no problems were found you will see a green check mark on the right.

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.

Clean and tidy fonts between application 1.1.1 and 10G

i am testing Apllication Server 10G on forms and i have noticed a differnce between the clean and tidy fonts that are in application 1.1.1 and forms 10g.
in application 1.1.1 the fonts visualized when i run forms on the application are very clean and tidy (i use standard arial fonts)
in application 10g the same froms visualized the fonts are NOT clean and tidy and it is difficul to view !!!
What kind of problem is this ???
The situation is worst than the old version or i have forgotten some thing ???
The installation is a standard installation !!!
Than'ks for all answer !!!

Hello Rajesh,
we are speaking of high end routers that are expected to process tens of thousands of flows per second even just differentiating on source and destination ip addresses there should be enough variety in your traffic to use the parallel CEF links in a fair way.
CEF uses an EXOR of ip source and ip destination and an hash seed that changes only when the system is reloaded.
etherchannel can use EXOR of different fields:
MAC SA exor MAC DA
IP SA exor IP DA
L4 SA port exor L4 DA port
but only one of them applies to a type of traffic at a specific time.
Or you expect a few very high volume flows on the links (DR or DB synchronization just to say)
So to answer your question, unless used for connecting two data centers, I don't expect to gain in fairness by using a bundle.
Hope to help

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

Font compatibility with Office (for Mac and Windows)

Hi,
Despite extensive searching, I'm struggling with a font compatibility issue between my Mac and my colleagues' PCs. The main points in order:
The fonts work correctly on both my Mac and other PCs.
The font in question is HelveticaNeueLT Std, rolled up into which are several different weights. The files are OTF files. The same files install without any problems on all the computers in question (and show up in Font Book). And the font can be used successfully:
- in Keynote, I select Helvetica Neue LT Std, and underneath choose whichever weight I want
- on PCs, the font and weight can be selected from the drop-down list in MS Office.
- in Office for Mac 2016 (Preview), I cannot select the font from the drop-down list, but can hit Cmd+T, and then select the appropriate font and weight under 'Latin text font'. What is odd is that in the dropdown list, only a particular weight/typeface is shown:
As this is a preview version, I wouldn't expect Office to work perfectly just yet...
When a file is created on a PC, it works fine on my Mac.
Every file I have attempted to open that was created on a PC, and using these fonts, works fine. The fonts display correctly (i.e. including the correct weights), and I can work with the document without any problems. The only odd bit: sometimes in the dropdown box on my Mac it then says (null):
Whereas at other times, the font name shows correctly:
Both of those examples were created using the 'Thin' weight of HelveticaNeueLt Std. I can't see any pattern as to what causes this inconstency.
The problem is that what I create on my Mac shows incorrectly on a PC.
If I create anything using Office 2016 or Keynote, selecting the preferred weight as described above, it shows just fine on my Mac. But when I send the PPTX file to a PC, all weights look identical (it looks as though the PC has just displayed everything in a standard weight). This is the problem I am trying to solve.
To try to get around this, I tried the process of removing the Helvetica/Helvetica Neue .dfont files that come with the Mac - but this didn't work and caused several other problems. Besides, the font I'm trying to get to use as intended has a different name.
All help would be greatly appreciated - my thanks in advance.
John

Thanks Kappy and apologies if it is inappropriate - but just to clarify, my main question is whether fonts used in Keynote should be compatible with other software (in this case Office running on Windows). The Office for Mac Preview is a bit of a red herring but I thought it should be mentioned.
I tried to clarify my first post, but it didn't work. What I wanted to add was simply whether Keynote handles fonts in a way that other pieces of software struggle to read - despite the font itself working perfectly in both environments.

Hi!

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

I want to run a streaming quotes program on Scottrade. They tell me that their product does not work if I have more than one Java application on my Mac. How do I delete the older versions? Thanks

I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

At the App Store you can download any file that is available for free. Then there are other sites such as MacUpdate.com where you can also find free files to download.

Transferring applications between two Macs in different locations?

What is the easiest way to copy an application between two Macs? I originally installed a graphics program on my old eMac G4, then used the Migration Assistant to transfer it to my new iMac G5. I then reinitialized the old G4 and didn't bother to reinstall the graphics program, but now I would like to have it on this machine as well and I can't find the original install disk for this application. Complicating matters is that the machines are now in two different places, one at home, one at work. This is an expensive program, so I would hate to have to buy another copy and am kicking myself for not being able to find it. Thanks for any help...

If you can't find the original install disk for the program, contact the program vendor. Some may offer you a replacement disk for a nominal fee. And be sure to follow whatever license agreement you have for the purchase of that software. If it can't be installed at both home and at work, and you can't afford another copy of that program, you may want to seek a cheaper alternative.

I purchased the Pages App on my iPhone. Does that include the Pages Application for my Mac Mini? If so, how do I get it onto my Mac?

No it does not. The 2 are separate.
To get Pages on your Mac mini purchase it from the Mac App Store. The icon is on your Dock.
