Font Issue!, not just an a regular ole issue!

Ok....I've started doing web design and development at a Application, Software, Website & Server, Hardware company. That's right we manage and house servers for local businesses, intergrate our IMS software for companies and customize for their needs, do hardware fixes, and implement websites that use our software (IMS... aka.... Intergrated Management System)....and trying to find some sort of fix with fonts
PROBLEM: We are running Vista, Windows 7, and OSx6.4 (just me, the rest are ALL PCs) and having a hard time trying to figure out a PROPER WAY of managing our Fonts throughout all the different OS's. This is probably not gonna be an easy fix if any at all, but you can see where we are running into obvious issues. We are all using CS4, but cross-platform is where the issues are.
Any suggestions on a way that would make it easier, than just serving up the fonts on a particular folder on our server to be installed onto a different machine. My first thought is the "PACKAGE" utility in InDesign, to collect fonts and images to save with the actual Native file in the development directory.
Is there any sorda program that will do this for any CS program, and also cross-platform. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! And I know I probably left out pertinent stuff that would help in answering the question properly, so please ask if that is the case
Thanks for your time
Drew

What you need to do is use fonts that are cross platform compatible. That leaves out Mac Type 1 PostScript and older Mac suitcase style TrueType fonts.
You can use these without any type of conversion. They can be copied from one OS to the other and used as is:
OpenType - fonts ending in .otf , .ttf and .ttc
TrueType - fonts ending (also) in .ttf and .ttc
Windows Type 1 PostScript - paired fonts ending in .pfm and .pfb
For the latter, Win T1 PS fonts will only work on the Mac if you place them in a specific location. And then only with the Adobe CS2 apps or newer. To use Win T1 PS fonts on the Mac, put them in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/ folder. If a folder named Fonts does not exist in that location, just create it and you will be able to use those fonts in the Adobe apps.
You can use Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts and legacy TrueType, but you'd have to convert them to one of the above formats first. OpenType is the best choice as it will support 16 bit fonts (more than 256 glyphs).

IPhone email-need to change the font style, not just the size

My emails are showing in Black Arial, when I just want them to display in normal Arial font. I do not see where I can change the Font setting other than the size of it, I had it on Large but now have it on Small. On the iPhone the font appears in a regular size and not bolded except for the To and Subject lines. But when I look at an email I sent from my iPhone Outlook on my laptop, the whole email's font is darker (not All Caps, just darker), as if the letters are in bold font, but Black Arial versus Arial looks that way, but all my other emails in Outlook are in regular Arial so I would like them to be consistent.
I called Apple support and they had me re-set my mail settings and re-create my email profile, but it still did not help.

The iPhone does not support composing email in RTF or HTML, so the font type, size, or style cannot be changed. The iPhone's Mail client supports composing email in Plain Text only.
When composing email in RTF or HTML, the sender controls the formatting, which may not be displayed the same or identical with the recipient's email client depending on the email client used.
When composing email in Plain Text, the recipient controls the formatting.
What is your font setting in Outlook for viewing a received message that was composed in Plain Text?

Time Issue not just on Alarms – camera Apps too.

I noticed that the summertime switch, which breaks some alarms not only affects the alarms. Recently on a trip to Europe, I also noticed that photos taken with Hipstamatic also don't accept the 1 hour difference. So if you take pics with the normal camera app and Hipstamatic at the same time, the Hipstamatic ones will be 1 hour out. haven't tested other apps yet.

Hello Enamic,
Time problems after the summertime change are common.
Try to move your time zone. After you're done, move the clock back one hour.
I hope this will help.

I am sorry, this is like talking to a brick wall. I have a few issues and just not one restricted to

Installed fonts do not work in FF, but in other browsers

I'm using Arch Linux, and the system is completely up to date. Whenever I visit a website that uses a helvectica font stack it displays in sans-serif instead of helvectica. In the picture I have Firefox on the left and google chrome on the right. Firefox is using sans-serif and chrome is using Helvetica. I just noted that Thunderbird doesn't seem to be using the same fonts as it does in Windows.

I'm using a addon to see what fonts are requested to be used, and which is actually used. In a helvetica stack (helvetica nue, helvetica, sans-serif) it defaults to sans-serif.
I see helvetica as a choice, yes.
I visisted that site, and I see helvetica fonts, but not just standard "helvetica". I'll look for a helvetica TTF, as I think I have helvetica in another format.

Illustrator CC issues, not opening legacy files or fonts?

Using CC for a few weeks and I am not yet convinced of its quality over my faithful CS5. I have an issue with files not opening, they may once when I start Illustrator, but then they do not again. Illustrator doesn't freeze, it allows me to carry on with the file I am working on but I can not open any legacy file?. I have tried opening by double click, by file>open, I have opened a legacy file back in CS5 copied the graphics and attempted to paste them into my CC document and nothing, the only way I can get around this is to shut the program and or machine down and start again?
Also the same with fonts, if I have a file open, and open fonts afterwards, Illustrator has a mind of its own whether it wants to show the fonts or not. Some days its happy to, others it has a bad day and will not show them in the list at all no matter how many times I reload them, only a shut down fixes this?
Is there a preference I am missing to allow legacy files?

There's no problem with opening CC files in CS5, I am finding when CC starts being problematic I am downsaving my CC file (current file I am working on, as I can still use this) to a Legacy CS5 and finishing the job in CS5 just for speed as I can then open my original CS5 files that I need without issue.
It is peculiar, it has just done it again, I can start up Illustrator and it will open a legacy file, but a few hours after use, I try to re-open the same legacy file and nothing, no error, no file opens, nothing, I can still work on the file I am in, but no joy with opening the old file.
There is a clash, or preference inconsistency, I just can't figure out what it is yet, I was hoping for ideas from the good folk out there .......

I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?

How do I increase the size of the font for everything on my screen, not just mail messages?

How do I increase the font size throughout, not just in mail messages? Thank you.

Thank you, Lee, I appreciate your response, albeit the answer is disappointing. I will go into some of the applications, as you suggest, and give it a try. Thanks again!

Why can't I change my font style, and please don't give me a apple approved generic answer, please give me a reasonable answer as to why, not just because we designed it that way.

Hp laserjej Pro 400 some fonts are not printing (office use )

Hi there In my office , we are using HP Laserjet Pro M401n printer . About 5-10 users are using it , Printer is networked and not connected to a PC. Issue is several font types are not printing , only the boarder is printing .Changed to a new catridge .Still the issue is same

>> .. Issue is several font types are not printing , only the boarder is printing ... You'll have to provide rather more information in order to expect any appropriate advice. For example:Is the problem restricted to documents from one application (e.g. Word) or several applications, or all applications?Just what do you mean by "font types"?Do you mean different fonts (strictly typefaces) e.g. Courier, Arial, Times New?Or do you mean different variants e.g. Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic?Or something else?Can you provide a scan of an example? Use the "insert/edit image" button to add an image to a post (this may take up to 48 hours to be "approved" before it is visible to others).
