Font panel is resized

Some weird thing has happened where my imovie font panel is resized. I can still get the full system font panel, but the imovie font panel is chopped in half.
Screenshot is here:http://bayimg.com/naPjpAABD

exotic!
try to 'reset' iMovie:
• quit iM
• goto ~/Library/Preferences
• look for com.apple.iMovie(x).plist (x= any number...)
• trash that
• relaunch iM..

Font panel broken in Pages 5.5, makes Pages unusable

The font panel in Pages 5.5 on Yosemite is broken. More specifically, I am unable to choose small capitals, alternates, or other variations of fonts in the Typography panel. Choosing so does not influence the text selected in Pages. Moreover, if the Typography panel is already open, selecting some new text in Pages results in an almost empty Typography panel.
All this works properly in TextEdit. Too bad Pages is now totally unusable for creating well-designed documents.
This is what the panel can do in TextEdit (this is Adobe Garamond Pro, but these options are available in many fonts like Hoefler, preinstalled with Mac OS X). Go and try to repeat this in Pages.
Anybody having the same problem here?

iWork, especially Pages, has been given a lobotomy. Lack of Typography options is one of 100 features that Pages 4.3 had that Pages 5.5 doesn't. Pages 5.5 also doesn;t have:
-mail merege
-bookmarks
-interdocument hyeprlinks
-non-contiguous selection
-robust autocorrection
-advanced find/replace
-text box linking
-facing pages
-ability to have alternating right/left margins
- staus bar so you can see word count/page count without obscuring part of your text
etc, etc etc

Why am I seeing a different system font panel in iMovie 11?

Hi! This is my first question here so let me know what other information I should provide.
I've been editing casual projects on iMovie '11 on OSX 10.8.5 and when I go to edit text, I can click back and forth between the iMovie font panel and the system font panel. But a few months ago I must've pressed some keyboard shortcut (not sure what I did) and now I'm only seeing a smaller version of the system font panel. I can change text size but only to preset numbers, not on a sliding scale. And there is no color wheel or anything for changing color options. Any advice to get it back to normal?

How do i get the fonts panel to stay there?

hi all
i like to have the fonts panel in Pages visable while working on a document as I change fonts regularly in some running documents
but when i close pages and reopen it, the fonts panel doesn't stay there like the inspector does, so i have to reopen it every time i open pages
its not a big problem, but just annoying
any suggestions?

theorder,
It's a known bug. In addition to the font panel, Pages forgets window position and other components of the saved state upon quitting. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it.

New Font in System Font Panel- iMovie

I use I-movie to create short videos for clients. One Client is requesting a special font that is not listed in the systems font panel. This is the second of this request from clients. So, is there a way to import different fonts into that panel area? How?

Hi
Yes You can.
I just did
I started a new project to test
I put a photo into this
Then I selected text tool and selected a type of text e.g. lower third (second choice)
Then drag and drop this onto the Photo in my new Project - NOW
Up in the Viewer I get a title (up left) reading Show Text font's - and here from I can select all font's installed on my Mac.
SORRY _ NEW INFO
The Font Panel - NO I was not able to change this - only able to use the font I liked in the Movie. Most probably I didn't fully grasp the Question.

Problems in Pages font panel

I like Pages very much, but I have some questions:
1) The names of some fonts (True Type and post script type 1) are invisible or indeciferable in the font panel family column. How to make the name of font visible?
2) How can one remove a font from "Favorites" in the "collection" column; I do not want to remove the font from my system, just from the "favorites" folder?

Hello Mark21,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. I like Pages very much, too
1) In your folder "Applications" there is an app named "Fontbook". Start this and select the menu item "File/Check Font" (or what sound similar; it is the 3rd item). See, if the font is ok (or you can first let Fontbook show you the font info: "Preview/Show Font Info"). If not, LinoType has a free font tool called FontExplorerX at http://www.linotype.com/2104-2493-2104/fontexplorerx.html. With this, you can check and repair fonts. Eventually, this can help to solve your problem.
2) To remove a favorite, grab it with the mouse and drop it outside the font panel. That's it.

I don't understand how to use the System Font Panel with iMovie.

I need an explanation of how the System Font Panel works. I guess there's a way to get some of those fonts to the iMovie Font Panel, but I can't see how.
Thank you.

I have had good success with the System Font Panel. Now all of a sudden, I only get part of it. Any suggestions on how to restore the entire panel? There are no change size options in the corners like in some dialog boxes. I was going to paste what I have here, but for some reason, paste is not available.

Font panel doesn't appear in mail

Hello everyone
I can't change the fonts in e-mails because the font panel doesn't appear. When I try to show the font panel by selecting "show fonts" from the menu "format", the text in the menu does change to "hide fonts" but the panel still doesn't appear. I've had this problem already while using Tiger and was hoping to get it solved through upgrading to Leopard, which didn't happen.
I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!
PS: I'm in Switzerland and therefore everything on my computer is in german - I am not sure whether the terms "show fonts" and "hide fonts" are what is used in english.

Well that cuts out that line of enquiry.
I am wondering if you imported the problem over from Tiger using Migration Assistant, or whether you have created alterations to your fonts in the past.
Have a look at *Kurt Lang's* very good exposition on fonts in OS X to review any changes you may have made.

Another suggestions would be to create a new 'test' account and see how Mail behaves in that, which would isolate whether it is a problem specific to your account or to your Mail application in general.

Font Panel not available?

The Font Panel refuses to open & it is going back & forth on my document with Helvetica (which I never chose) & Times New Roman, which I did choose. I am completing copies of a manuscript to try to get publishied and I need to open the Font Panel, which I've never seen, except in a small pop-up menu, which opens & closes indiscriminatively & is no help at all! Without this panel, Pages is screwing up my manuscript. Thanks for some good techie help.
Golden-age girl

DearTom & Peggy,
Thank you so much for your good suggestions. My daughter, who is a PC specialist came home
to find me struggling, sat down & discovered the Font Panel had appeared for me, but had hidden on the right side of the screen under the dock (where I also hide my Mail window! So it was a freak problem. Anyway I also found the panel in TextEdit, just for a test. If I had waited, I would not
have posted.
But I want to tell you both, that the Discussion grouo techies have been invaluable to me and I want to thank everybody who helps Mac users for participating in a life-saving organization. I have had OS X.5.8 & Pages for about a year--Pages has been my Jonah, and too darn complicated for writers like me!
Sincerely,
Golden-age girl

Can't find font panel!!!!

I am in the middle of a presentation that is due on Friday. I click the letter A and no font panel appears. I was using it earlier, and it is probably hiding off the screen but I don't know how to get it back. I have re-booted, opened other Keynote files, changed display size, all to no avail. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Try holding down the command key to the left or right of the space bar and pressing "T" to see if that brings it up.
By "hiding off screen" have you been using multiple monitors? It's difficult to drag an object off screen since, because your mouse doesn't go there, you can't drag anything there. However, if you were in a multi screen setup, I could see how that could happen.
Another thing you could try is checking to see if you're currently set up to span your monitor image or mirror. If it's set to span, change to mirror to see if you can find it (F7 key usually works for this as well).

Use of Favorites Collection in the Font Panel

I make frequent presentations in PowerPoint (Office X). Normally I only use 3 or 4 fonts. To change fonts I must scroll through a long list of installed fonts. I "discovered" the Font Panel and special collections one can prepare, such as Favorites. I have made a Favorites collection with those fonts I use. My question is, how do I make use of my Favorites Collection when I am in PowerPoint so that I can avoid those interminable scrolling sessions?
Thanks- Leigh

actually - I just found out on another thread that perhaps "file path" was never on the information panel anyway. I wonder if I am confusing it with the info panel I see in iphoto library Manager.
And I just hovered my mouse over the "at the beach" file name in the information panel, and discovered the origianal file name showed up. And if you hover your mouse of the date, you see "taken, modified and and imported".
Still wish I could see the file path, but now wondering if I ever did in iPhoto. But hope this reply of my own helps others that may be wondering where some of the stuff went.

DVD Studio Pro font panel missingWhen I Hit apple

Does the text window come up through the menus or shortcut menus -- or is it just the keyboard shortcut that's causing the problem?

Dvd studio pro 4 font panel

dvd studio pro 4 i cant get my font panel to come up

I have this great new font - Viagra Bold, any my font panel comes up every time now, and stays up. I can send you about 5000 emails about it if you are interested...
But seriously, if Apple-T isn't opening the panel, try trashing the prefs. If that doesn't do it, there may be a corrupt font preventing it from opening. This system font panel is shared by many other apps, such as text edit, so you might see if it opens there before you start turning fonts on and off in Font Book.
Hope this helps -
Max
