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

Suddenly...some fonts are not available.

InDesign CC 2014 Crashed today. When I relaunched it I found that some of my fonts are not available. I'm on a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.10)
For example, two weights of Proxima Nova are available (Light and Regular) but the other weights are not. Those other various font weights are available in other apps (namely Illustrator).
Below are various screenshots
1. Screenshot from InDesign
2. Screenshot from Font Book to show the fonts are active
3. Screenshot from Illustrator CC 2014 showing these fonts are available there.

I quite InDesign. Then I did a search and trashed all the AdobeFntXX.lst files that had a two digit number. I deleted the files and rebooted my computer. I then launched InDesign and had the same problem.
So, I quite InDesign again and deleted my Indesign Prefs and Saved Data file and relaunched. Same problem.
Very strange... since everything is okay in Illustrator, Photoshop and even an older version of InDesign CS6.

My font is not available in Illustrator...

I am attempting to use a font that is available to me in Indesign CS5 and is installed on my computer (a PC), however the font is not available in Illustrator CS5. I have attempted installing the font in the Adobe Common File, but that did not help. I don't understand why a font would be available on my computer in general, but not in Illustrator. Any thoughts?

May be Illustrator doesn't like it. Yes, I'm not kidding, Illustrator is programmed to be quite picky accepting fonts in its menu - the fonts must be top quality.
Another thing is to make sure the font is in the Fonts folder in your system and not in some place available to inDesign only like a program's fonts location or if you are using a font manager.

CrashReporter complains that "LastResort" font is not available

I have a brand new Mac Pro which I've been installing applications on. Recently I had an issue with Thunderbird crashing, the logs had a bunch of these entries (below) which indicates a system font is not available.
I've not removed anything myself. I'm concerned about this - how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Download and manually install the 10.6.5 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix it, reinstall the OS, which only replaces all the OS components and basic Apple apps, leaving everything else in place. If that fixes it, run Software Update, get back to 10.6.5, repair permissions, and restart.

One or more Fonts are not available

I have seen this problem on this and other forums in the past
but I have never seen a response that made sense or lead to a fix:
I created a flash file a few months ago. It uses a font called
"microgramma". I now want to make some changes to it and I get this
message:
"One or more fonts used by this movie are not available."
etc...
The font is a truType font, works fine in every other
application on my machine, but now for some reason, Flash doesn't
see it. This is not the first time this has happened to me. It
would be great if Adobe would address this.
Flash CS3 on a MAC ppc with OSX 10.4.11

You should be able to get this to work. (btw - mac guy :) Is
the Font listed in the Flash 'Library' panel, or are you refering
to the main Font menu, and embedding? I'm uncertain, and perhaps
I'm mistaken.
You can create a Font 'file' the resides in the FLA Library.
Have you tried using the small icon in the upper right corner of
the 'Library' panel, and selecting 'new Font...'? this should
create a complete Font package?

The Kuler panel not available in Adobe Photoshop CS6 french language pack ????

Hello !
Why the Kuler panel is not available in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator CS6 french language ???? it's ok when I make an Int. US language install ! can I find the kuler.atn somewhere?
Only the Mini Bridge appears in the extention panel....
thanx for your help !

and I suppose it's the same in the Canadian law too . So, if I understand you, I buy an incomplete software without any information from Adobe about that !!!!! and you don't alow me to use a complet french version of the software I paid and use on the US country because of a French law that nobody knows neither follow except ADOBE????? can you explain me more because I really don't understand your "no answer" to explain an other bug in your software... Why do you sell it as an incomplet solution at the same price in that case? Just have to inform every users about that and we will baught the US (or other language) versions in place of the french one...
Is there finaly a temporary solution to find & install the kuler extention from the US version to the french version in Photoshop & Illustrator (by myself, of course and without the agreement of ADOBE )

Fonts are not available

There are at least 10 people on this forum asking the same
question, with hardly any helpful responses.
I am missing Trade Gothic among others. It is not available
in the Flash font drop-down. It's there in Illustrator, PS,
etc...It's an Opentype font.
The frustrating thing is my boss uses has it installed on his
computer (same file) and it works on his computer (same set-up,
Linotype Font-Explorer etc..).
Seriously, what is wrong with Flash? I've uninstalled,
reinstalled, restarted, repaired disk permissions etc...
So annoying!!!!!!!

install those fonts on your PC.

Why am I told that fonts are not available when the file was originally created in Fireworks?

I get the "Fonts not available" message when I open up a document, i.e. open up a png document in the program/computer/etc. where the program was created in the first place.
I don't get this. How can the fonts not be available when I'm using the same program that used these fonts originally? Having said that, the appearance doesn't seem to change.

Are the fonts in question installed on your computer?
Fonts are not part of a program, fonts are installed on a system. Once installed, a font is available to any program that uses fonts. If you're opening a document that was made in the same program, but on a different system, using fonts you do not have installed, then you will get that message.
So... Are you opening a document that you created? Are you opening the document on the same system on which the document was created? Have you made any changes to the installed fonts (installed or uninstalled any fonts)?
What version of Fireworks are you using and what OS are you running it on?

SL 10.6.1 and FontExplorer 1.2.3: ll fonts are "Not available"

After worked fine for weeks, my Mac Pro 2008 quad 2.8 Ghz with 6 Gb ram does not recognize my fonts anymore, just the default system. I can't add neither opentype or truetype or post script. I've cleaned font cache, preferences, sets, reinstalled FontExplorer without luck.
Again, if I install fonts (not in FontExplorer but in Finder) I can see the preview but they are not available in all softwares.
Any idea about the cause?

Hi antonio-milano & welcome to the forums:
I've cleaned font cache, preferences, sets, reinstalled FontExplorer without luck.
Have you used Apple's FontBook to validate the suspect fonts?

Flash CC - Exchange Panel not available

I`m posting this in the Flash and not the Exchange forums, because the rest of my CC apps, don´t have this problem, only Flash has:
1.Installed AdobeExchange 1.2.0 with the newest Extension Manager (7.0.0.347) on Win7x64
2.Exchange doesn`t show up under Extensions in Flash (but does so in illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc), even after reboot.
Anyone has a workaround for this problem?

Exchange Panel is currently not available for Flash CC as mentioned in link https://www.adobeexchange.com/ under the "View Application" dropdown.
You will need to install the extensions via Extension manager until the panel gets re-enabled in a later update to flash pro.

Fonts shown as installed by Font Book not available to applications

I have several fonts that Font Book shows as installed that are not available to any of my applications, including Word and Quark Express. These fonts include Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, and Arial Italic, all of which I believe were installed as part of OS 10.4, along with several other fonts in the Arial family that are available to my applications. How can I get all my installed fonts to be available to my applications?
John Link

HI John,
Try deleting the FontBook pref file: com.apple.fontbook.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the .plist file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Word or QE and see if those fonts are available now.
Validating fonts
If fonts are not displayed as expected when you open documents or you cannot open documents, it's possible fonts have been corrupted. You can validate fonts to confirm they are still safe to use, and remove any corrupted fonts you find.
Take care not to remove system fonts, located in /System/Library/Fonts; removing system fonts could cause some applications to quit unexpectedly.
To validate fonts:
Open Font Book and select one or more installed fonts to check.
Choose File > Validate Font.
In the Font Validation window, review the fonts listed for warnings or errors. Use the pop-up menu to display warnings and errors separately, if necessary.
For fonts with warnings or errors, click the disclosure triangle next to the font to see which validation rules show errors.
To remove a corrupted font, click the checkbox next to the font. Make sure fonts you want to keep are not checked. Then click the Remove Checked button.
You can also use the Console utility to troubleshoot problems with installed fonts. In the console.log window, type "font" or a font name (such as "Arial") in the Filter field to find font-related log messages.
You can validate font files before installing the fonts. To do so, in Font Book choose File > Validate Files. Browse to and select a font file to validate and click Open. Font Book displays the Font Validation window and indicates whether it found problems with the font.

AI CS6 OSX - font loaded, not available in AI

So I've got a font family loaded (via Universal Type Server, not that it seems to matter) that is completely available in all applications but CS.
It looks like the font is possibly poorly named and AI is collapsing all 4 members of the family into a single menu entry.
Is there an easy fix for this?

It’s a ttf file – Frutiger. I’ve managed to get it into InDesign, but not Photoshop or Illustrator. Always seem to have problems with this font!

Some Fonts in Windows Font folder not available in PSE8.

I have discovered that there are a bunch of fonts in my Windows Font folder that just aren't showing up in PSE 8. They seem to be a lot of the Open Type fonts (the ones with the "O" on the thumnail) although there are some of the Open Types available.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on. These are not Fonts that I have downloaded. For instance, Arial is there but all the other versions of it in it's "Family" donh't show up in PSE.
I'm using Windows XP.
Brenda

Are you saying that there are more fonts than are available in the style menu to the right of the font family pulldown menu? If so, how many fonts do you have installed on your computer?

Some Font styles not available on solaris

Hi,
I am developing a Java application on windows with the plan of running it on solaris eventually. It is starting without error on windows but, when I ftp it to solaris and start the program from an xterm I get the following error which is repeated a number of times:
'Font specified in font.properties not found [-urw-itc zapfdingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-sun-fontspecific]'
The application runs fine but I am wondering how I can fix the error appearing in the xterm. I know there is a setFont function that I can set the Font to something like 'Dialog' that is common to both operating systemsbut I have tried this and the same message appears. I cannot setFont for the line 'JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, STRING, "Invalid entry", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);' so this doesn't seem to be working, the error still appears. Can you offer any help? if not then can anyone suggest who or where I might try to get help from?
Thanks
Conor

I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.
