Do you have any printer drivers installed on the pc that your developing the crystal report?

  • Font selection problem in Word 2008. not sure if it's an OS X or MS issue.

    let me preface my situation by stating that i have searched for a solution to my problem on google and i have tried everything that has been suggested and nothing worked.
    here is the problem:
    a user at my office is using Word 2008. whenever he wants to change the font of the selected text by highlighting the text, then selecting a different font from the drop-down menu in the formatting pallet, and selecting a different font, the font changes to a different one than what was selected in the drop down menu.
    this issue is replicated even in a new user profile on the same computer.
    i have used FontNuke and FontFinagler to delete the font caches but that didn't work.
    i have manually deleted the font caches and Word preferences.
    i have repaired permissions.
    i have tried to validate the fonts via font book and removed all duplicates. no corrupt or damaged fonts were found.
    there is no previous version of Office on this computer.
    help, please!
    thanks in advance.

    Well, normally I'd remind you that it's not just the system font caches and the Office prefs (plist) that need trashing, but also the Office font cache at ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/
    Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12). However, you say that this happens in all accounts, not just for a specific user, so unless there's something extra weird going on that somehow is writing a mistake into that same Font Cache file for each user (not out of the realm of possibility), I think maybe your solution is to reinstall Office - not something I sink to doing, or recommending, often.
    But if you're not having any problems w/fonts anyplace else... and I haven't heard of this problem yet, or experienced it (tho I minimize my 2008 Word-ing because I can't give up my macros...)

  • Can you help me with FontExplorer font activation problems?

    Anyone know how to solve a font activation problem I am having with FontExplorer 4.2? I am on a new mac with new fonts, I am using Maverick with Adobe CS6. With my new mac I bought the latest version of FontExporer Pro X 4.2. This program is having trouble with font activation in all my Adoble suite apps including Indesign. Here is what I am seeing:
    1. The font activates, but the Adobe app does not recognize that it is active. If I go back to Font Explorer and deactivate manually, then re-activate manually. The adobe app might then recognize it. Sometimes it still doesn't. But this does not stay permanently, as soon as I do a restart I have to go through this process again. I see this more often with the User system fonts, but a few times with my regular fonts.
    2. Other times, such as in Indesign, I go to open the file and the file stalls and doesn’t progress while it is trying to activate the fonts.
    3. Another time I have seen after an illustrator file is opened the fonts aren't recognized as being opened and the text goes blank on the page.
    4. In all adobe apps, if I go to use "replace font" on the missing fonts (even though they are turned on) the "replace font" menu only shows the basic system fonts, it won't show me the other fonts turned on.
    I have seen these issues with both formerly created files and fresh new files.
    I have tried the following based on feedback from Font Explorer staff:
    Refresh your Spotlight database
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X
    2. Choose Tools > Refresh Spotlight Database
    Clean your font caches
    1. Quit all applications other than FontExplorer X 2. Choose Tools > Clean Application Font Caches (check all available checkboxes)
    3. Choose Tools > Clean System Font Caches (requires restart)
    Still after trying this multiple times, the errors continue and even get more random.
    I have also tried this based on their feedback:
    go to FONTEXPLORER X PRO -> PREFERENCES -> ADVANCED and make sure that "Automatically deactivate fonts which have not been activated by the system" is NOT set to never.
    Then click on TOOLS and clean all font caches. Then reboot the system.
    The auto-activation is using a new Apple technology (called Core Text), which unfortunately does not work correctly with some of the Adobe and Quark applications when keeping the fonts permanently activated. We are currently working on an update, and the next version of FontExplorer X Pro will fix this issue.
    This has also not work. Can anyone help me?

    Here is the official work-around for this problem.
    1. Locate "FontExplorer X Pro.app" in Applications
    2. Right-click on "FontExplorer X Pro.app" and select "Show Package Contents"
    3. Navigate to /Contents/Helpers/
    4. Double-click "FontExplorerXLauncher-3.app" or right-click and "Open" to launch it manually. This is needed only once, afterwards the plugins will work normally.
    Please make sure you open the version with the "-3" suffix, the other one does not fix the problem.

  • Font Selection laggy in InDesign CC

    27" iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, OSX 10.9
    Adobe InDesign CC 9.1
    Suitcase Fusion 5 Version 16.0.5 (603)
    Since installing Mavericks have had terrible issues using InDesign on my less than 3 month old iMac.
    Font selection is painfully slow as shown in this video...
    http://vimeo.com/81705033
    Sometimes when trying to change a fonts weight it won't even register the selection. As can be seen in the video I have the font "Interval" selected and am trying to change its weight. I cannot do that. I then select an alternative font (you will see how laggy the font menu is) and it then takes around 7 seconds to change to the new font once selected. I can then change back to Interval and select the desired weight.
    I have turned off the font previews in preferences as I thought this might be what was causing these issues, but sadly not.
    Not sure whether the issue is Mavericks, Adobe or Extensis.
    We also have the same sorts of issues on another older Mac in our studio. Before Mavericks it was fine. Not sure if that is just coincidence.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Yes, it would have been installed in place. My boss did it while I was on holiday and have had no end of problems since it was upgraded to Mavericks.
    So you think re-installing InDesign might do the trick. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

  • Fonts selection scrolls past one I need

    I am using Indesiagn CS3. I am starting a new version of our catalogue using same CS3 as previous issue. It is a lot of merging so it is not being some from scratch. I am now unable many times (not all) to select the font I need. The cursor is unable to select the font I need and just flashes by and the font selection screen moves at a very rapid rate and I get what ever font if seems to select. I need to use the same fonts as in the last issue and cannot figure out what is happening. It is frustrating as I can not figure out what is causing this problem as I really need the fractions in the glyphs to show and the fraction selection is pretty slim in most fonts. Could I have corrupt fonts???  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Joan

    There's no way I know to test other than to back them up and replace them. If the problem goes away, they were corrupt and you should trow out the backup set. If not, you can put the old set back to restore all the customizations that will be lost when you do the replacement. Read tyhe comments in Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

  • Gtk2fontsel pkgbuild. Font selection preview app.

    This is acctually standard gtk2 widget for font selection/preview compiled alone.

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make || return 1
    make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install

    Well, let's say this is solved, though not properly.
    If you encounter a "no show" problem like mine, it may be an issue involving theme multi-compatibility with gtk2, 3, metacity and the like.
    Try switching to another theme to see if your system better "support" it, or use separate themes for gtk2 and gkt3.

  • Sluggish Leopard Font Selection Window

    Hi @ all!
    Recently whenever I use Leopard's built-in font selection tool in iWeb, Pages, Numbers, Mail (Or any other Application that uses it) it behaves extremely sluggish. Sometimes taking as much as 30 seconds before it updates when I for example switch font collections. More often than not the host application from where the requester is called just crashes after I select a certain font.
    I have not installed new fonts when the problem occured it just started behaving that way with no reason known to me. I have used Fontbook to check all my fonts and deleted those which are markes with a red cross as damaged, but nothing helped. I trashed the font cache (using ONYX) but that does not help either.
    Any of you guys have any ideas what to do?

  • Selection Problem with JTable

    Hello,
    i have a selection problem with JTable. I want to allow only single cell selection and additionally limit the selection to the first column.
    I preffered the style from MS Outlook Express where you can select the email accounts to edit.
    It is a table like this:
    Account name  |   Type  |   ...
    --------------|---------|---------------------
    Hotmail       |   POP3  |
    GMX           |   IMAP  |The selection should be only avaibable at 'Hotmail' or 'GMX' - not at 'POP3', 'IMAP' or as complete row selection.
    Please help me!

  • Font selection view control in Web Gallery

    LR4.1 RC2
    I wanted to be able to change the font type from the UI panel using a font select popup.
    This control really only seems to exist in the inbuilt edit modes (eg: id plate and watermark) so I have tried a workround which seems to work OK so far. Maybe it will help someone else out working with webengines.
    Mac/OSX only at this stage - good source file in Windows may be font.inf but would require a bit of parsing or get a folder listing somehow.
    Basically I read in the contents of the fonts.list file - which appears in the OSX fonts folders - and then massage the contents to get a raw list of the fonts.
    This raw list is then read into a lua table and consumed by the UI popup control.
    Should there be an obvious way that I haven't seen then just give me time to find a banana to eat ... anyway here goes -
    Changing the font type for the cell index numbers.
    Grid cells use cellIndex to give the photo number and in my webengine the css class is .itemNumber       
    Data Model references -   Note:   %s is important for select to work - if %q is used select will work but font won't change ( %q adds quotes to the string ).
                ["appearance.itemNumber.font"] = function() return string.format( "%s", nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize .. "px " .. nonCSS.itemNumber.font ) end,
                ["nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize"] = 60,
                ["nonCSS.itemNumber.font"] = "inherit", 
                fontlistpath = LrPathUtils.child('/Library/Fonts','')    -- OSX Default fonts
    Code just prior to LR UI Views -
            deffonts = templatepath .. "/pgresources/" .. 'osxdeffont.txt'      -- templatepath is the root path of the webengine - this is the tweaked OSX fonts.list file
            function readFontsFile( deffonts )
                local fileLines = io.lines( deffonts ) 
                ff3 = {}           
                for line in io.lines(deffonts) do
    Filter lines here ...
    eg:   -
                    line = string.sub(line, 17)   -- remove 1st 16 chrs        (/Library/Fonts//Osaka.ttf)
                    line = string.gsub(line, "(.ttf)", "")
                    local kline = line
                       local vline = line
                       table.insert(ff3, { title =  kline ,value = vline })
                end
            end
    LR UI View for font select -
                f:popup_row {
                    title = "Font family :",
                    bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font",
                    items =  ff3,
                    bindingEnabled = "appearance.itemNumber.display",   -- control should be disabled if display checkbox false
                    tooltip = "Choose wisely Dave!",
    Using this method is not perfect but gives a good selection of fonts - I found that to improve the success rate the default font file was copied into the webengine
    resources folder and tweaked. eg:  the default file gives Brush Script.ttf but I needed Brush Script MT to work, similarly with Arial Rounded Bold which needed changing
    to Arial Rounded MT Bold
    Basically to find the correct descriptions you could do far worse than to use the ones in the edit selections used by the ID Plate/watermarking features.
                Well there you go ...
    As an aside I did try an undocumented control which on double click popped up a system font selection dialog (the whole nine yards) but  couldn't get it to link to the css class so I didn't persist - not a good idea to use undocumented controls but can be fun to play with.
        f:font_picker {
            font = "Copperplate",     -- showed font as highlighted when picker opened.
            width = 80,
            value = "Arial",    -- appeared on control (title ??) - this value only changed according to the font selected after double-clicking on another hidden control (f:image_well)
            bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font",  -- linkage didn't work
    Again, unless I missed it, it would be really good to have the font_picker documented and working for the web gallery views.  Fonts seem to be a murky area -
    probably accounts for the hassles I am getting with the watermarking feature as well.
    Update :
    If the font doesn't work try using the PostScript name as a value which invariably works.
    eg: Handwriting - Dakota  will not work but Handwriting-Dakota will.
         Arial Bold will not work but Arial-BoldMT will.

    I don't think that there is any option to set the default view in the web album. If anyone has found an option to do this, then I will like to know as well.
    Quite a lot of the settings in web album seams to be "hard coded" and only a few settings are available for users to control.

  • Can i change the behavior of the character menu so that the list begins with the current font selected and not at the beginning of the list?

    Im struggling with the way the font selection tab works in the character menu.
    When i scroll down the list and select minion halfway down the list, the next time i click on the font tab, the list starts back at the top of the list making me scroll down the list every time i want to look for a font.
    Can anyone offer some suggestions here?
    thanks
    jeff

    You can't do it exactly the way you want, but if you have InDesign CC or CC 2014, you can set fonts in the Character panel or Control panel Type menu to be Favorites. Click the "star" beside a font to set it as a favorite. Then at the top of the menu, click the "star" filter to show favorites in your list instead of a list of all the fonts.

  • Font embedding problem PPT plugin Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi,
    having just updated to Acrobat 9 Pro I encounter a font embedding problem when using the PowerPoint plugin (PPT2007) to create a PDF of my presentation. I am working under Windows 7 (64Bit) and use fonts from Mathematica (Wolfram). The generated PDF shows problems displaying the fonts, indicating that they have not been embedded (although font embedding of these fonts is set in the options). The problem does not occur if I directly print to the PDF printer - here all Mathematica fonts are correctly embedded (but this has other disadvantages since videos/animations are not integrated). The problem seems to be specific to Acrobat 9 since under Acrobat 8 everything worked correctly as well.
    Any ideas/solutions for that issue?
    Thanks & best regards
    Ralf

    Perhaps you may need to upgrade to version 9.2 (Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins at this dot release)?
    Be well...

  • I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't

    I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't continue in Hebrew.  I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1.  I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

    Just clarifying:
    Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
    Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
    If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
    If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
    As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

    btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

  • Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

    Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
    Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
    Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

    Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
    the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

  • Print selection problem

    when i select a page to be print from my pc the page select in

    Hello. I feel your pain and frustration with the print selection problem in safari, especially in Snow Leopard. I have spent hours trawling help pages and forums etc. BUT YEE HAA (sorry got a bit excited, but it really was hours) I found the answer. So here goes.
    Click on Safari
    Scroll down to services then slide to right
    Scroll down to services preferences and click
    Scroll down to the Text section
    If you Tick the Text box it will choose all options for you. Or if you don't want all options in the Text list, then untick Text box and tick options you do want.
    BUT for your print selection problem make sure you tick NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION.
    Then when you want to select something in a web page you want to print (including pictures etc) then highlight it, then Right click. And low and behold, in the list is NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION. Click that, Then press cmd+p and your printing.
    I really hope that helps with your problem
    I can now go to sleep.

  • Font selection by typing font name into from down field

    I have noticed this since upgrading to Photoshop CC 2014:
    When I want to select a font by typing its name's first few characters into the drop down field, all intuitiveness goes out of the window. The very first character I type gets dropped and rather than bringing me closer to the typeface I'm after, it starts presenting all fonts starting with the 2nd character I've typed. I.e. trying to get to the "Titillium" font selection, I start to type "Titil..." and it gives me the "i" listings in my large number of fonts. This is happening on all my installations of Photoshop CC 2014 (3 different Windows computers and setups).
    Is this a bug or another example of second-guessing what might be helpful when it actually isn't? Not getting the logic of why I have to type "AArial" if I want to get to the "Arial" font in the selection box.
    I know I can simply scroll down in the list of fonts to get to the one I want to use, but in the land of shortcuts, surely scrolling should only ever be the 2nd best choice.
    Looking forward to some insight.
