Font Issues on Book Recieved
I just received my 60+ page book from Apple.
I used the same font throughout the book and on 5 pages certain words were printed "hybrid". Meaning that certain characters in a particular word would mix between two fonts. The letters were still correct.
In addition I had two full bleed pages where one image covered the entire page and I inserted a title over the image. One printed fine, the other had a darkened box around the text.
Anyone seen anything like this?
As an update Apple offered a full refund for the book due to the printing issues. It took 5 days of e-mail but I got the desired result.
Thanks Apple

IPhoto calendar and book font issue
On or near Nov. 30th, 2009, I launched iPhoto 8.1 to produce a calendar. The upgrade option came up and I proceeded to do the installation.
I attempted to upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1 on a new 2.66 GHz Quad Mac Pro running OS 10.6.2. Install did not work the first time.
I then launched iPhoto to produce a new calendar. Prior attempts have not had any font issue.
When selecting my favourite font, Kon Tiki, a different font appears. When selecting that new font, yet another font appears. This continues indefinitely.
This issue also occurs when creating new books. Existing books and calendars in my Keepsakes retain their original font but I do not want to test if they change until this is resolved.
I tried reinstalling original application from Time Machine but error continues. I then tried a second successful time to install the upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1
I have since tested this on my 3.06 GHz iMac running OS 10.6.2. This system had already been upgraded to iPhoto 8.1.1 but no calendars or books had been produced since the upgrade.
The same issues occur.
2.0 GHz MacBook running iPhoto 8.1 does not have this issue.I ran Font Book and Validated all fonts. Cleaned up quite a bit but did not resolve the issue. Fonts are no longer as randomly selected (Kozuka Gothic Pro now selects Kon Tiki Kona consistently) but does show the secondary font choice of the font above it. Current version on Mac Pro seems to corrupt the iPhoto Library. Accessing those iPhoto Libraries from different computer (2.0 GHz iMac running iPhoto 8.1 resolves the issue and reinstates selected fonts).
Second issue now occurring where previously created Calendars are becoming Books on Mac Pro system. I have tried removing all iPhoto files and reinstalling from iLife '09 disc then upgrading to 8.1 but error still occurs.
How do you remove all iPhoto files and where are they. I can either reinstall them from iLife '09 disc (again) or copy them from MacBook system where they appear to be working.
I'm not completely able to locate all iPhoto files it seems. -
I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-fonts-mac-os-x.html
This should help. Good Luck. -
I recently added some new fonts to my directory. Since then, I have had font issues with my pdf's and previews where the characters are illegible. I have tried using disabling fonts on Font Book for pdfs, and tried using Font Finagler and FontNuke to clear all font caches. The problem only seems to effect pdf's. I am operating on OSX 10.6.7. Does anyone have any suggestions that might fix this problem.
I was getting a "Missing Font" message and the explanation on the forum is that a bug in 10.6.7 caused the OS to UNEMBED fonts in PDF files!
Don't know who said that, but it's incorrect.
I built a simple text document with three lines of text. Opened three fonts not on the system, applied one each to a line of text and saved a PDF using Apple's built in PDF generator.
I then disabled the fonts and deleted them. With no fonts to find and the comment being true that fonts are not embedded, the PDF should display incorrectly. It didn't. I looked exactly as it should, meaning the fonts had to be embedded in the file. -
Terminus 9pt font issue in Konsole after upgrade
I have a slightly weird font issue in Konsole following a bunch of upgrades today. Basically, at the beginning of the command line and the beginning of subsequent words on that line, the very first character sort of flashes and gets truncated if it is one of several letters. Very narrow characters are not affected (e.g. i) but most are (e.g. n, g, m, r etc.). Once I press enter, the characters look perfectly normal - the issue only occurs on the line being edited and while I am entering or within words as opposed to spaces. Moreover, it only occurs for the first letters of words. Subsequent letters look fine. Once a space is typed following the first word, the character looks normal unless and until I type another letter or return to edit the first word. If I type "cat" it will be a truncated c; at "cat " all looks fine; then "cat c" and the first c is truncated; "cat cat " all is well; "cat c" with the cursor moved back over the second c and the second c rather than the first is truncated.
Any thoughts as to what I should check? I'm using the infinality stuff from AUR. I updated that last night. However, I don't _think_ I saw the issue today until after upgrading the kernel. Here are the last entries from pacman.log:

I'm using Terminus (TTF) in size 9 in Konsole. This hasn't been changed for quite a while.
Any suggestions on how best to troubleshoot this? Is it possible that I need to rebuild some other AUR packages associated with the infinality ones but which haven't actually been updated? Or is it likely to be to do with something else in the list?
EDIT: It only seems to be some fonts at some sizes e.g. Monaco 8pt is OK but Terminus 9pt isn't; Terminus 10pt is OK; etc.

Converting a PDF to a SWF Font issues
Hi,
Maybe somebody out there has seen this and can guide me in
the right direction?
I am trying to convert PDF files into a flash book using the
flashprinter product.
Here is an example of the PDF I am trying to convert. (you
should see it is using the
following fonts PostScript Fonts - HelveticaNeue-HeavyCond,
HelveticaNeue-LightCond, HelveticaNeue-LightCondObl,
NewsGothic and NewsGothic-Bold).
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/FontProblems.pdf
When this gets converted to the Swf (LOOK at the file ZOOM+
Mode)
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/EZBlue_v11t.swf?RRDid=aFC3tehrg1VGCUIylKIQ
Once I saw what was happening I thought it was a font issue
and I made up a page with all the fonts used by using the ATM
sample viewer.
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/AllFontsUsed.pdf
(Look at the SWF file in the ZOOM + mode view - looks great)
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/EZBlue_v11t.swf?RRDid=6J5LSHAZKnf9qPXa1VGk
If anybody out there can help that would be great,
thanks,
Swf_tryingHey Joseph,
Please tell me whether you are able to convert any other PDF file to excel format or not?
What exact error message do you get?
Are you trying to convert a scanned PDF document?
Hope to hear from you.

After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)
What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb
Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
iWeb
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Safari
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\ -
Font issues exporting PDF in Keynote 6.5
Is anyone else experience font issues exporting PDF's in Keynote 6.5?
My entire team has been having issues specifically exporting the font Merriweather. It's been fine in the presentation itself, but in the PDF - it's spaced out aggressively and the font weight/type/size is always wrong.
It's been a real hassle, as our brand body copy font is Merriweather and we've never had a problem with it.The conversion issue seems to be tied to OTF fonts. Converting Merriweather to TTF, deleting OTF versions from Font Book, and/or System Font Folder worked for us. Clearing font cache and restarting can further flush out any legacy conflicts.

Font issues after OS 10.4.9 update
Hi, I just updated my macbook pro yesterday and am having font issues now. I noticed the date in iCal is messed up, also certain webpages and email are garbled up.
for example most of the text on this page http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is messed up in safari it looks all garbled. While in firefox and camino that same page looks fine.
On a side note, my startup after updating took forever. After it finally finished upon opening font book I see all of my fonts have been activated. They weren't before I did the update.
Any thoughts?for example most of the text on this page
http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is
messed up in safari it looks all garbled.
No one else is going see anything wrong with this page unless they have the same problem you do. You need to provide screenshots.
But the normal cause of garbled text is the presence of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic. Dump them if you have them. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it). -
Font Issue in Safari after Migration Assistant Upgrade
I just used Migration Assistant to move from an old Mac Pro tower to a new Mac Pro trash can (chose not to transfer Applications) and most everything is fine except for a strange font issue in Safari. Safari doesn't seem to render Helvetica. Instead I get this:
Chrome seems to render it fine. I was using FontExplorer X to manage fonts on the previous machine so perhaps that is part of the problem (I didn't transfer applications and have not bothered to install it on the new machine yet).
I tried clearing the font cache and repairing permissions as noted in this article, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!Applications/Font Book and validate your fonts.

Mac/PC Font Issues in Flash -- Need Help Please
Hi,
I have an fla file that I need to update but I am having the font issue that occurs between Mac & PCs.
I need to export a swf file from an fla file I have. If I send someone the fla file and the font file (Futura Book) could you please export it for me? Someone with a PC? My letters keep getting cut off and I've tried to play around with the spacing already.
Thank you!!!!
AllieI don't know the answer to that one but you can use the Mouse Over and Click method I have described on this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
It works in IE.
Its just a question of making up two different buttons with text for each link, taking a screenshot and cropping them and adding the JPEGs to your upload folder.
You can make up the buttons on an iWeb page and then delete them when you have taken the screenshots. I usually do this sort of thing in Keynote so that I can save them in case I need to modify them. -
The fonts on my Mac Mini running the latest version of Mavericks looks bad like the needed font is missing.
I originally had an issue with something that would pop up an alert on my iPad, saying that I needed to install the latest version of Flash because of a security threat. IOS does not support Flash so I knew something was going on. It wanted me to install it through my Box or Dropbox accounts. It kept blocking me from mainstream news sites. I noticed that there was a IOS update available so I installed it. It seemed to take care of this issue on my iPad.
Later I noticed that there was a strange file in my Mac Mini's Dropbox folder and that the fonts were messed up. I trashed that file.
I still haven't been able correct the font issue on My Mac Mini. This is after repairing disk permissions, resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMU, reinstalling Mavericks from the Apple server and dumping the finder preferences.
Any Ideas?Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable. -
Fonts that should be showing up as Helvetica are showing up as Wubble. In my preferences/content I have my Proportional: Serif; Serif: Times; Sans-Serif: Helvetica; and Monospace: Courier. Everything was fine until I upgraded to 6.

I understand that Leopard has some issues dealing with bitmap-only type fonts, however if this is recognized as a Post Script Type 1 Outline font then where lies the issue?
Also, even stranger, is that despite the errors from validating the font in fontbook, the font works on almost every computer in my office except one... how strange is that. PS. I also did all software updates just to be sure.
If you have any suggestions or information I would be ever so thankful!Yes they are all present.
I compared my computer (where the font works) to the computer that the font doesn't work and the files are the exact same.
It is an odd situation.
Even on my computer where the fonts work, if I go into Font Book and validate the font it still shows errors, but it works.
