Font Panel - Recently Used Fonts

Hi, since another post with this same title is archived, I'm going to give this a bump. The issue is that the Recently Used fonts list on my machine is HUGE and completely useless since many of the items in the list appear to be blank. Is there a way to clear this list so it can start fresh? I've tried clearing the system font cache and it doesn't affect this list.
Thanks, Matt

  • How to clean recent used fonts dropbox on Pages '09?

    Hi everyone!
    I've searched a lot but can't resolve this. I can't clear my recent used fonts on Pages '09. I'm not talking about the box opened with cmd+T, I'm talking about the dropbox next to the font size, bold, italic, etc.
    I've tried to delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist but it only clears the cmd+T box.
    Could you guys help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    This list is stored in Pages preferences file.
    You may remove the entire array entitled : SFIFontCacheRecents
    or remove some fonts items.

  • "Recently Used" fonts causes crash...

    Hello all,
    I don't use iWeb all that much, but I went in today to do a quick page and found an issue.
    Using iWeb 2.0.3 and OS 10.5.4.
    If I build a page or select a previous page, and hit Command-T to manipulate fonts, choosing the "Recently Used" under "Collections" causes iWeb to crash every time.
    First the beach ball, then boom.
    System very clean, and almost zero addition al fonts, sans Office 2008.
    Can anyone confirm this behavior on their Mac(s)?
    I can reproduce always and even under different accounts.
    Deleted iWeb pref's and deleted font caches with LinoType FontExplorer X and rebooted.
    Same.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I have had exactly the same question. This is not an answer, but maybe part of the answer. In User - Library - FontCollections, there is a file called "com.apple.Recents.collection". If you take that out, Keynote no longer shows recently used fonts. However, it does not seem to generate a new com.apple.Recents.collection file, so that is not the solution. I found that the file can be opened with the program "Property List Editor" (part of the Development package), but it looks like a mess. I would really also like to know how to clear the recently used font collection and start over. Mine now has about 1000 entries, which make it worthless!

  • Recently used fonts

    Is there an option PS CS6 or CC to have recently used fonts or fonts in doc on top of font list? I find it maddening to have to open old documents and select fonts to see what I've used.
    Thanks

  • Most recently used fonts ID CS3

    How do I get the recently used fonts option to show up at
    the top of my fonts menu?

    You're asking about a feature that has never been in InDesign, though it would be a good idea. I'd make a post in the Feature Requests section. It's possible that there may be a third-party plugin that does it, but I've never heard of it.

  • How to revise the recently used fonts?

    Hi, I been wondering if I can edit the used fonts list in iwork 09.
    Thanks!

    The list of recently used fonts is stored in the preferences file : com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    You may easily edit it with a plist editor.
    I use Apple's PropertyList Editor which is part of the developer tools.
    If you didn't install them, you may extract it from the installation package with a tool like Pacifist but it may be easier to go to my iDisk (address below) and download
    Pref Setter.app.zip
    Expand it and you will get a good editor allowing to do the trick.
    It's the tool which I use under Lion.

  • CS3 How to recall recently used fonts

    How do I find the recently used fonts?
    Thanks.

    How many times are you going to ask? There's no recently used fonts
    feature in ID.

  • Recently Used Fonts: Where are they?

    Acclaimed feature of Illustrator CC... but I can't find it.  Where are they hiding?
    And how do I make this font preview box longer?

    What an awful way to do that...and then it shows fonts the program recently used and not the document you have open?
    Corel has it right when it comes to type (but not much else...)... select a type group and when you look through the font list a flyout with a sample comes up... is there a way to do this in Illustrator? because as of right now Illustrators font list setup is just awful...

  • Where are the recently used fonts?

    Has this feature been hidden somewhere. It is tedious to constantly scroll through all my fonts just to select it each time.

    I guess you are talking about Pages 5?
    That has been gone for a year now.
    Use Pages '09 if you have it.

  • Some font options not using default system language in font menus

    Font options for Helvetica and Helvetica Neue (e.g. bold, italic, light, etc.) do not use the default system language (English) in the system wide font panel, or in font options within individual applications. Any suggestions as to how to correct this?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

    Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
    --If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
    --If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
    In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
    The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
    The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
    I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
    There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
    Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.

  • Fonts for comercial use?

    Hello!
    I would like to ask if the fonts on iBooks Author are available for not-personal, not-private use without involving any extra costs. That is why its called a book, right? Because you share it with others.
    uses: from books to fairytails to comic to whatever
    Thanks in advance ,

    these fonts come with iBooks Author, no?
    The fonts belong to the OS, not the app.  Here is the OS passage:
    E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
    Does that answer your question?  (iBooks Author cannot embed fonts, except via export to PDF format)

  • 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?
