Font Problems in Keynote
Hi all
Having some big Font problems using keynote since the last Snow Leopard update some month ago Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869) .
I tried to install the Latest Font Update package as well but nothing.....
The problem is the Myriad Pro Bold font (Apple use Myriad Pro almost everywhere).
The other Myriads work just fine.
I have also checked the Font Book and the Font is NOT duplicated.
Have done some 50+ presentation in Keynote all with this Font.
It looks like this
Thanks for your time and help
Yes I have...nothing happens. The font is myriad pro bold, all other myriads works. The thing is that I have used that in almost every slide in some 50 presentations, i.e hundreds or perhaps thousends of slides and in keynote you can not change them all et once. On my both iMacs works just fine but I cant install the uptades just in case, and who carry around an iMac for every presentation

How to fix Font problems in keynote on osx 10.6.7.
I´m using keynote on a MBP 5,3 with Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869).
I´m having big problems with some fonts on keynote, like myriad pro.
They will all get mixed up. A line of text is reduced to a short mix with all letters on top of each other!
Tried installing the latest snow leopard update, no result.
Thanks for your help

HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard
I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard. It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote. Any suggestions of how to fix it?
Dear Kurt,
in bigger companies thinks come slow :-) Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
But I wasn't able to get it to work.
Do you have the one big hint for me???
Thanks and best regards... Udo -
Export isn't accurately displaying fonts for new Keynote (6.5)
Hey guys!
I'm using special fonts in my Keynote decks, but they've suddenly stopped exporting correctly. Here's what I mean:
This is what my deck looks like in Keynote. But when I export to PDF it shows up like this:
It's still the same font (I think), but the formatting is way off. This is a new problem, as I've used the font before and the PDF exported just fine. Now when I go back to those old projects and export, the same problem happens.
Interestingly, the preview screen for the actual Keynote file also has the same weird formatting:
Any thoughts or ideas would be really appreciated. It's kind of urgent – I'm giving a talk tomorrow and I can't figure out a way to get them the properly formatted slides.Haha hey Mattan!
Had this problem too. Removing the .otf font from your library and installing the .ttf version of it fixes the problem.
Cheers,

Major Font Problems in Snow Leopard!
Snow Leopard creates serious font problems in Apple software (iWeb & Keynote in particular) but no problems whatsoever that I've found in any Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop). What it's doing is screwing up the line spacing... essentially adding a lot of "leading" for some fonts, reducing it for others. Completely screws up my presentations and web pages. Please HELP!!!
I am also having this exact issue. I've been using a large set of mandatory fonts that our prepress production department uses. There are 1000 fonts we always have installed. We've all been using them since 1998 with no issues at all all the way through Leopard. We have tens of thousands of documents that use these fonts, so getting rid of some is NOT a solution for me.
There have been no problems up until now.
After installing Snow Leopard, and even after upgrading it to 10.6.1, there are many fonts missing when these documents are opened in QuarkXPress. We've been using Quark 3.3, 4, 5, 6, all the way through 8.1 with no issues with these fonts until now.
Currently we're running Leopard, and QuarkXPress 8.1 with no font issues. I was forced to revert my machine back to Leopard after installing Snow Leopard yesterday, because of these seemingly unresolvable font issues.
In Snow Leopard, the fonts we've been using are indeed left in the Fonts folder untouched, but Snow Leopard doesn't seem to list many of the Bitstream brand Postscript fonts in our collection. Quark thinks they are missing. We even tried taking a fresh Font folder from one of our Leopard machines and replaced the Snow Leopard Fonts folder with it... no difference.
We tried emptying all caches, reinstalling Quark 8, reloading the fonts... nothing works except reverting the whole system back to Leopard.
Please help. We'd love to use Snow Leopard, as it does appear a lot faster than Leopard. But, unless this font issue is fixed, we'll never be able to upgrade again, as we are formally locked in to using our current font set. -
Pages 08 fonts- problems with Arial, Times New Roman - how do I repair them?
Pages 08 fonts- problems with Arial, Times New Roman - how do I repair them?
Using 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro
MikeaaaI am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.
Thanks

Haven't been able to use pages for a while. Keep getting following message. Have tried reinstalling iWork, but no luck. Same problems with Keynote and Numbers/
Have you moved Pages from its installed location? Or just dragged a copy to your current system?
It can't find some of its resources apparently.

I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
The problems I have encountered include:
1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again! -
10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem
Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?
The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

It should be rolled into the Combo-Update:

MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
My maladies are
1. My PDFs are incomplete
2. Received MS Office filed open "blank". Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
Thanks in advance.
BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.MS Office font Problem solved in case anyone else stumbles upon this.

I posted this over in the Classic forum...but it's rather dead over there and I fear it may not be seen for a while...so here's the problem...
I'm running Quark 4 in Classic and having trouble with fonts. Though the fonts are on my computer, and in the OS 9 fonts folder, they won't print correctly. If I use the same printer and print from Quark on my old iMac (running OS 9) the fonts print and look fine.
I read another thread in this forum that mentioned the fonts must be OS 9 fonts (and must not have been run through suitcase or a similar managing program???). So, on the off chance that my husband or I just took OS X fonts and copied into the OS 9 folder, I copied the OS 9 fonts from the iMac (I just grabbed everything in the Frutiger family, as it was one that I had an issue with) and then dumped them into the OS 9 fonts folder on my iBook. I restarted Classic mode in order to make the fonts available to the OS and then printed again. The font still prints all pixeled-looking.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to find the original font disc and install them from the disc?
Any help would be most appreciated!!!!!Hi Diane,
Glad that the tip helped to "solve" the font problem!
Not sure why you are printing the file info at the bottom of the page. It does sound as if it is a print setting somewhere though. Hopefully someone has a clue for you.
Again, thanks for the "solved" star and if I can think of something else for you to try I'll post back. Let us know if you figure it out.
good luck,
littleshoulders
edit:
"In lieu of an answer...I tried changing the paper size to legal and it's not on the last copy I printed."
Ooops, I misread your reply, and see that by changing the paper size it corrected the issue.

Hello,
I have the following problem for 2 days now:
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1462/bild1.png
I did not install anything. I tried to delete font caches but it did not help.
I re-installed the system but that did not change anything. After resetting the PRAM the problem was solved. At least for some hours, but now the problem appeared again.
When I do a reboot, strange white lines appear over the grey background and the Apple Logo, then the screen turns blue, the cursor consists of white lines too and nothing more happens. After several tries to reboot the Mac is running again, but the font problem still exists.
First I thought of a graphic card problem, but it seems that this font problem only concerns system prefernces and system applications.
I have no idea what to do now, so please help me.Hi "Apfelkrautsalami"
Font caching information is stored on a per-user basis in
/private/var/folders
I have no idea if it'll help, but you could try this:
- Open a Terminal and do
*sudo rm -rf -- /private/var/folders/??*
- Restart your machine
(Note 1: The '--' prevents rm to think that folders like '-5' are options)
(Note 2: The '??' will match any two-letter directory. I didn't want to say '*') -

Hello, anyone knows about a problem in Keynote(iWork) that whenever I write with a RTL language, and make "Build" in Inspector, it doesn't not show the whole word or sentence, and sometimes it doesn't show the entire sentence.
Is this problem solvable?
Thank you,
BaligAll iwork apps have major bugs with RTL scripts and are normally not suitable for using them, unless copy/paste from another app like TextEdit works well enough to meet your needs. Sometimes different Effects may give better results than others.
In any case, such problems are not related to your hardware and you should ask in a software forum like

Image problems with keynote dropbox
We are having massive problems with images not appearing correctly in our Keynote when saved via dropbox. Images appear swaped with other images, or at times, completely missing all together. This has completely crippled the work flow at our business and we are at all but a loss other on how we can continue to properly work in Keynote 6. What can be done to remedy this problem?
This is a MASSIVE problem. Keynote autosaves every single small change. With multiple team members on multiple locations it's virtually impossible to know if someone even does 1 tiny change in the presentation, while someone else is doing the same. The autosave makes this almost a certainty to happen.
We had to do multiple reworks this weekend, because of this. It makes working with dropbox and Keynote virtually impossible. I asked around and all Agencies I know, having the same issue.
One change on two locations, even by accident means:
- Broken images
- Broken videos
- Mixed images turning on different locaties
- Mixed videos turning on different locaties
- Keynote versioning broke.
- No dropbox versioning because of the new file format,
Only thing that can save you is a local backup.....OMG!!
It feels like a viral outbreak, and nobody is realising it yet....
