Fonts don't display properly

Sorry if this has already been answered - I wasn't able to see a previous question like this so...
I am unable to have certain fonts display properly, most troubling is the lack of the Greek alphabet. For instance, changing or typing a letter "b" in Symbol font does nothing. I notice that the font appears to be applied to the text, but it is obviously NOT a "beta". I have also noticed this happens with Wingdings and other fonts like it. Even copy/paste into iPages doesn't work.
Doing a similar thing in software programs outside of iWork is no problem and it does work, so I know I have the fonts (and they're properly installed, etc).
What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?

What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?
While switching to the old Symbol font may still work for Greek in some apps, modern Unicode apps and OS's do not input different scripts by changing fonts. They change keyboard layouts instead. So you go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Greek, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Finder, select Greek in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder, and type.
For individual characters it may be easier to use the Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters) as Yvan indicated.

  • Why some fonts don't display properly

    I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
    Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

    Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font.  Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font  could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

  • Some fonts don't display properly

    What Mac model do you have? You might be able to upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5.
    Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.
    You could try a newer browser than Safari, which is obsolete, by downloading Firefox v2.0.0.20 at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php

  • Album frames don't display properly: Since .MAC converted to MobileME help?

    ORIGINAL MESSAGE POSTED TO APPLE SUPPORT
    Ever since .MAC was recently down - and converted to Mobile Me - I have been having problems with my iWEB site:
    1. Frames around Photo Albums no longer display (on mac or win web browsers)
    - On Windows Computers - The Frames do not Display at all
    - On Mac (Safari or Firefox) they all look like see thru WIRE frames
    2. iWEB text box frames (that were once hidden) now seem to Display and
    they display in weir positions over and under other boxes.
    3. Safari Web Browser now ask to load certain fonts!
    4. Browsing my iWEB site is VERY VERY VERY SLOW!
    - From home
    - From work
    - over at friends
    In other words the speed of a persons internet connection does not seem to
    make any difference. It was all beautiful and fine before the transition, and now
    its slow.
    I have not done an upload to .MAC from iWEB for several months - so I don't believe it is anything I have done.
    My iWEB site is our FAMILY TREE site - so family members have been calling and telling me of the problems and the slowness over the past week.
    PS: I like the extra 10GB of storage, and the new Mobile ME features seem cool --BUT I MUST GET our family iWEB site running smooth once again.
    I have just recently upgraded to Leopard and for the most part everything is running fine - but as stated - I have NOT performed an iWEB upload using Leopard - the last was two months ago under Tiger.
    MacBookPro Intel Core Duo
    2.16GHz processor
    2GB RAM
    120GB Harddisk
    Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Jaguar - just installed July 7)
    Second posting to Support
    Hello,
    Ever since the transition - I'm still having the following problems with anyone trying to view my iWEB site (uploaded over 2 months ago before the Mobile ME transition).
    (of note: I performed the MobileME system update yesterday and that did nothing)
    1. Website redraw is VERY SLOW
    2. Text Box FRAMES are now Visible - when they were not before!
    3. Viewing my WEBSITE that I built using iWEB - the FRAMES applied to Photo and Movie Albums do not display properly as they did prior to the Apple mobile Me conversion. (see attached screenshot).
    As stated I have not done an iWEB upload for over two months - and everything was working fine until this Mobile me conversion. Now when viewing on Mac or Windows all of my Photo Album frames display improperly (they look like see through wireframes) when viewing in Safari or MS Explorer. NOTE: The albums will NOT display at all using FIREFOX.

    Since I recieved no responses I assume no one knows. Thanks anyway.

  • Math fonts don't display in mail messages?

    For some reason when I receive a mail message with math - fractions, equations, etc. these characters don't display.  My husband has an iPhone 4 and this isn't a problem on his phone.  I am wondering how I can get these characters to display?
    Thanks

    Hi markatos
    Hi Rick Van Vliet
    I have the same problem, and I can also (only) underline text.
    Since upgrading to Tiger (10.4.8) from Panther 10.3.9, I have experienced a few daft functional problems, eg the 'Enter' key not working on the calculator (the standard one, not the Dashboard version). This turned out to be a '.plist' problem.
    Mail was marking all outgoing mail as 'Junk' ... '.plist' problem again.
    But I cannot see how to sort this one ... at the moment I am having to format text on a Stickie then paste it into a Mail message in order to do simple things like bold headings (I don't need any more than this really). So the 'Font' palette is working. Message format is set to 'Rich Text'.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Fonts Will Not Display Properly In Mail

    Messages that I am receving in Mail will not display properly. All characters are represented with square with the letter A. I attached a screen shot.
    I changed the default fonts to many different options and nothing has worked.
    Any help would be great.

    Open up Font Book and validate your fonts.  You may have a corrupt font or corrupt font database.

  • Fonts are not displayed properly when Book assembled for PRINT Preview

    I am having an issue with fonts not being displayed correctly within Aperture Book design application. I have used a script font (Snell Roundhand) for the cover of my book that has quotations marks around the title. However the quotations marks that are displayed after the book is assembled, go to the default Times Roman not Snell. They do not match the Snell Roundhand font quotations that are supplied with that font. What gives? Also . . . after they the dust cover is displayed the next page is the hard bound foil page which displays Times Roman for the title . . . not the font I have selected (Snell Roundhand). What gives with that? Is there a way to change the font before it goes to the printer. Any work around ideas. I have tried several different fonts to see if anything else comes close. Everything looks like a variation of Times. HELP . . . trying to hit PURCHASE BOOK . . . . hopefully without flaws!!

    I kind of remember the foil letters might be fixed - cannot remember but here is a related conversation that might help (or not)

    Ps. I have not done this through the Apple book printing service myself - I always order soft cover as give aways and use another service for other printing but live vicariously through others withe the Apple hardcover books.

  • Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

    Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
    Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
    Thanks

    You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts.  Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

  • Altered graphics don't display properly

    I am running Lookout 6.2 on a small panel pc.
    I am using custom graphics which up to now display properly. I needed to make a couple of changes to the graphic, which was done on another computer then the exiting graphic was replaced with the new one, using the same name.
    Lookout displays the graphic but with messed up colour (greens are reduced to shades of grey) and the image is fuzzy. Untouched graphics remain ok
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Ryan
    The resolution and colour were all correct, so I had the graphic re-drafted and this time it worked.
    Yet another mystery

  • Fonts don't display correctly

    I opened a site to make some updates, and several of my fonts are not displaying correctly in the Design window.  When I click on Preview the fonts are correctly displayed, but some graphics and text move position. Is anyone else having these problems?

    I followed the feedback provided at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6273605#6273605 and renamed the folders tk1 and tk2.  This seems to resolve the font rendering issue for Bebas Neue and Rosario, but the Preview page still does not match the Design page with 100% accuracy. 
    It is at least usable now to make edits. 

  • Vertical images are fine in iPhoto, but don't display properly in aperture.

    Hello everyone, i have an old project around 1000 pictures and all the images show properly in iPhoto. I have a shared library with aperture and when i open that project in aperture , all the vertical images seems to be destroyed as soon as i double click on them. It looks like an half downloaded jpg. None of the Previsualisation or the full screen display are correct. What's wrong ?

    I had already tried it and it doesn't work "the selected element has been modified in iphoto and cannot be updated" (L’élément sélectionné a été modifié en externe dans iPhoto et ne peut être mis à jour.)
    here are screencaps to show you what it looks like.
    So everything is normal in iphoto, then I double click on an image in aperture and this happens, then the thumbnails are destroyed, and then in iphoto it is also destroyed.

  • 3.1 Bug? - Images don't display properly after upgrade to 3.1 from 3.0

    When pages are displayed after the upgrade, the image appears the first time the page is opened. Once a user goes to another page, then come back to the page with the image, the image is no longer displayed.
    This happens when the browser is set to "Check for newer versions of stored pages". When it checks for the new version, the image is not displayed.
    This looks like a Bug? Is someone working on a fix for this?
    Thanks.
    - Scott

    Scott,
    Thanks for this information. It is very helpful. May I put you through one last contortion, please?
    I would like to see what information is being passed in the HTTP header in the request for one of these broken images. If you have Live HTTP Headers or Firebug for Firefox, or Fiddler for IE, this should hopefully be easy. You don't seem technically challenged in the least, but just for the record, here's what I did using Firefox:
    1) Ran the Timesheets application
    2) For the very first icon on the left "My Timesheets", I right-clicked my mouse and chose "Copy Image Location"
    3) I opened up a new tab in Firefox and pasted the URL and then hit enter to retrieve the image
    4) I turned on Live HTTP headers and then clicked Refresh in my browser.
    I am most interested in the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. The full request on my system was:
    GET /pls/apx11c/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=191046216955701077&p_fname=eba_timesheets.png HTTP/1.1

  • Sun Java Console & Applets don't display properly on JRE 1.5.0_05

    Duplicate Post as it was equally relavant to this forum: [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=666689&tstart=0 ]
    Hi,
    We have a signed applet based application hosted on weblogic server. We are trying to launch the application on IE 6.0, JRE 1.5.0_05.
    When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy", "close") are not rendered properly. Now if we, try to bring the focus to text area of Sun Java Console, and try to select all (Ctrl+A), we only see some text selected, but not what it is. Now if we copy the text onto the notepad, we can see the text.
    Next, when we try to launch the signed applet based application, we get the security warning, where only we can see the dialogue box and not the text or buttons. By randomly clicking on this security dialogue, if we hit on yes, the Applet based application is launched. The UI is totally off color; either you see some widgets on application partially or totally blackened or in different colors. Application basically looks to be in chaos.
    This behavior is not observed in any of the previous JRE versions, i.e. JRE 1.5.0_04 or any previous versions. Interesting part is after uninstalling JRE 1.5.0_05, if we install 1.5.0_04; problem persists, but not in JRE 1.4.
    We have observed the same behavior on number of machines. Is it a known issue? What�s the reason & solution?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vinayak

    When we try to see the Sun Java Console from IE's
    Tools Menu bar, we don't see any text in the window
    and also the side bars & buttons ("clear", 'copy",
    "close") are not rendered properly. I suspect you're running into graphics issues. Perhaps java5 is trying to optimize too much, and you have older or buggy Windows drivers.
    Try:
    * getting the latest graphics drivers for your hardware from your vendor and installing them.
    If that doesn't work, try
    * putting options like "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw" in the Java Control Panel as the default VM options for your Java.
    That's actually a bit aggressive - you can start with, say, "-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false" or "-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false" (each of these is less drastic than noddraw).
    Then make sure you quit all IEs, and restart one.

  • Foreign fonts don't display or print

    There are fonts that install with Mac OS that use non-Roman characters, e.g., Japanese, Hindu, and Korean. There is also a Greek font called Symbol. In the case of Symbol and some others, selecting the font means you get that font onscreen and at the printer. In others, for some reason, that doesn't happen. You select the font, e.g., Geeza Pro, Naskh, and Arial Hebrew, and what you get onscreen is Roman type. I'm trying to use a Greek font other than Symbol; I loaded it so that it shows up in Illustrator's list, but when I type with it, I get plain old vanilla Roman. What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? What does it take to make the font work? I believe it's a Truetype font, if that matters.

    What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? What does it take to make the font work?
    To type in another script on all modern computers you need to change the keyboard layout, not the font. You go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the boxes for the ones you want, plus the box for "Show Input Menu in Menu Bar." Then you go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and choose your language and type. The font takes care of itself.
    An exception is if you have a old non-Unicode Symbol font on your machine. This maps some greek stuff used in math to the normal latin character positions, so changing the font will change the characters. But it is best not to use this kind of Symbol, because there is no guarantee that any modern computer will display greek instead of the latin dictated by current standards. Instead for greek you should use the greek keyboard layout provided.
