FONT HELP!  Duplicates and more!

I have installed a lot of fonts, and tried to reinstall and clean up and now have duplicates and errors throughout 500 fonts.... IS THERE A WAY to remove all fonts and replace with a clean backup or something?  My FontBook doesnt delete them or anything... would like to have a fresh start somehow!?!?
MacbookPro / i7 with 8GB Ram / Mavericks / All updated and etc...
Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

Are you using Fontbook's 'File menu > Restore Standard Fonts' option?
That should create folders (called 'Fonts (Removed)') for all non-Apple fonts inside the various library folders, such as …
/Library (on root of the boot disk)
~/Library (inside your users home folder)
You must use the Finders 'Go' menu to open your hidden 'User Library'. Hold the alt key & an option for 'Library' will appear in that menu.
You can move them back into the main fonts folder to use them again or double click to instal via Fontbook.
I'd suggest only using your 'User Library' for this, so that you don't get them mixed up with other fonts installed by apps etc.

    Hi Stephan,
    this solved placing both animation on one page.  Make sure all your fonts are called out in the <head> section like for example:
    <script>var __adobewebfontsappname__="dreamweaver"</script>
    <script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/quicksand:n3,n4:default.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    Dreamweaver does this automatic for you.  If you are having a font conflict I recommend under command  (if you are using dreamweaver)
    Clean up the font Tag and add only the ones that you are using again,  sometimes they accumulate.
    Good Luck.

  • Duplicates and more in my address book

    hi,
    my address book is creating duplicates and triplicates etc. of each entry on it's own... everyday i "look for duplicates" and merge all the records, then the next day have duplicates and triplicates again.
    how do i stop this? at one point i was attempting to use .mac to sync my address book, so i could maintain it on two computers. but i stopped since i was not able to get it working properly and the wrong records were getting over written and disappearing. I suspect my problem is related, since it started around the same time.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks.

    Do I turn off the local accounts in the iCal and Address Book applications? I understand what you're suggesting, but I don't know where to do it. Can you explain in more detail?

  • Dynamic and shared TLF font help in CS5

    I am simply trying to use a special font in Flash CS5 in a dynamic text field. This was so easy to do before CS5. I am not able to embed fonts in CS5 and have them work?
    I am working on a large project and the time to relearn Flash each release, makes it not cost effective use anymore.

    Then don't use the TLF textfields and just use the Classic textfields. They work the same way they used to.
    So details would help. What kind of font? What kind of embedding? and...
    ... what kind of trouble are you having embedding fonts? I haven't done a lot with it, but the bit I have seems to be much more straight forward and easy to do.

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • How long is your shutdowntime from MBP Retina 13" ML? (and more)-Please help!

    Hello everyone,
    I have been searching in this Support Community for a while, but I cannot really find a solution/answer to my issue(s):
    Note: If you do not feel like reading my whole story, PLEASE only post your shutdown time from your MacBook Pro Retina 13", 2.5GHz, 8GB with Mountain Lion.
    I have bought a new MBP Retina 13", 8GB, 128GB (basic model) at the 23rd of DEC 2012 and I have not got the chance to really use it because it keeps getting problems (trackpad was not working well, battery health never 100%, shutdown time of 23secs and more - will tell). Called Apple Care within 5 days: Told me this all is not the way it should be, advised me to go to the Apple Store to let it check (traveling time for me is about 2 hours).
    Went to the Apple Store in Amsterdam (I live in the NL) with these issues (bought this MB at a reseller abroad though - cannot go back): Genius told me some hardware should be replaced because this is not a software problem (tested). I mentioned the DOA Policy, because I did not even got the chance to use my new precious rMBP and I mentioned this problem within the 14 days. He told me I could NOT get a new rMBP from them, because I did not bought it straight from Apple (Apple Store online/offline). Okay fair enough, I let it repaired: new SSD 128GB including top case, new trackpad, new battery. Found it a little bit doubtful to replace this kind of hardware from a 2-week old rMBP.. Picked it up 7 days later.
    Tested it somewhere in a quiet place nearby the Apple Store. Trackpad was working as it should be, battery health was 100%, shutdown time was still 23 seconds.. Rebooted that thing, waited for 5min (staring at it) and shut it down again; 23 seconds. Started it up, opened only Safari and iPhoto, shut it down right afterwards, 23 seconds.
    Went straight back to the Apple Store. Told a Genius at the Bar what was going on. He tested it, told me this is NOT normal. Took it to the technician room, they tested it for like 15min, came back with the technician man, told me that this was NOT normal, BUT they could not find what causes this and told me they have never seen/heard this issue before. Got the 'manager' to talk to me (his nametag did not tell he was the manager though) and suddenly it was a 'non-issue' and told me to go home..?!
    I told him the whole story - again, mentioned that I had also shut down some MBP Retina's 8GB in different Apple Resellers and this particular Apple Store, and ALL shut down within like 3-5sec. He said I could not compare these models with my rMBP because those probably (probably) are all demo models. Okay, so what is he telling me, that I got fooled by Apple; their show models are working better than the one I bought?
    Anyway, got over this, I thought if everything is working well then I just leave it this way. Then two days later the battery health drops to 98% with 2 load cycles, and System Information and Coconut Battery gave a different battery charge than the one in the right upper corner of my screen (5% higher on the screen).
    Also, my storage gets fuller and fuller by the day, while my rMBP is still empty from files. The only thing I did was installing iWork '09, MS Office 2011 and Coconut Battery. And the only thing I did those days was surfing around to find answers for my issues (instead of studying). So only Safari has been used. My storage space left at this moment is 88GB from my 128GB, so what is happening? I checked a lot about this at this Community, tried a lot, nothing works.
    And third, my shutdown time is still 23 seconds, while a friend of mine owns a new MacBook Air 13", 4GB SSD, Mountain Lion and his shutdown time is like 4 seconds. All my Macs with Mountain Lion shut down within like right away, 4 seconds. And they do not even have SSD and 8GB. So how can this be 'not an issue' (manager did not used the word NORMAL) with my NEW rMBP?
    I am familiar with working with Apple Products since a very long time, I have been using iMacs and other MacBooks for the last 6 years and I have never (ever) had this much trouble with an Apple product. I am highly disappointed and I think I have the right for a new rMBP - since replacing 3 major hardware parts, speaking with Apple Care for 6 times and going to an Apple Store twice, within ONE MONTH is not solving all these problems. I think a MacBook worth €1800 (in the NL) should not be like this!
    Thank you for reading this whole story. I thought I should tell you everything in detail so you have all the information you might need to help me out with maybe one of these problems.
    I thank you very much in advance!

    Well to update my own thread just for the people who are reading or for the people who are also searching for an answer:
    I was sick of it that Apple Care told me to go to the Apple Store and Apple Store told me to call Apple Care.. So I decided to tell my story to.. Tim Cook. I know.. but I did email him, and I know.. he won't be reading those emails himself. Anyway, wasn't expecting to hear anything from Apple HQ any time soon, but it already gave me a better feeling to email this.
    The very next day I got a call from the Apple Store right away: I was getting a new rMBP! And I am typing on it right now. Everything works perfectly fine and the shutdown time is sometimes 3-4 seconds and sometimes it takes a little bit longer, like about 20 seconds.
    But the shutdown time wasn't the only issue that I emailed for - I know this thread was about the shutdown time so I am coming back on that.
    The conclusion I can make based on my experiences with Mountain Lion on different Macs in this house (and my two Retina's I worked on) is the same as what already is mentioned before; it has to do with Mountain Lion.
    BUT, in MY case and the reason why I opened this thread, it was NOT Mountain Lion. It was my rMBP for sure.

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

    On my iPad 2, one particular recurring event keeps duplicating itself. I delete the duplicate and it reappears a day later. Help.

    Do you use MobileMe and an iPhone? If yes, do this in the following order:
    Mac:
    (1) back up the applications giving you problems
    iPhone
    (1) Open settings, then open "mail, contacts, calendars"
    (2) Open .Mac account
    (3) Turn OFF the applications that are causing problems
    (4) When you turn off on of the applicatios, a red sign "stop syncing" will appear. Press it. A msg will appear "turning off xxx"
    (5) Get out of settings
    (6) Don't do anything for about 20 mins. Don't touch your iPhone or your Mac. (syncing needs time to settle down)
    After 20 minutes...
    Mac:
    (1) Open each application that is giving you problems. Fix errors. Back up.
    (2) Do this for each application
    iPhone
    (1) Open settings, then open "mail, contacts, calendars"
    (2) Open .Mac account
    (3) Slide switch to ON for each app you turned off; there won't be a msg
    (4) Get out of settings
    (5) Via MobileMe, syncing will start again.
    Wait about 20 minutes, again. You should see all in order after that. At least, that was my experience.

    Thanks for your reply.  Although I haven't tried yet, I think I will be able to use the photos on my phone, which have been paired, to find the dups in iPhoto and delete them there.  Previously it was very difficult to search for and find the duplicates on the computer.  Now I should be able to use the paired photos on the iPhone to find and delete the dups on the computer.  Then I will sync the phone again.  I think that should work; I hope you agree.
