Fonts don't print with Font Book

Hi,
Fonts I load in Font Book are looking fine on screen but they don't print - I have to put them directly in the Fonts folder (in the System folder) to do so. My printer is a Lexmark E120n is that matters.
What should I do to get them to print using Font Book?
Thanks for your help!

It turns out the problem was with that certain printer. The floor model and other models and makes works fine. the Brother support person was an idiot, and would not think outside the box. Luckily the guys at Apple and Office Depot did.

Tarantella native client don`t printing with printer usb

tarantella native client don`t printing with printer usb

agreed with Wai on upgrading. The first test should be outside of SGD . . . does UNIX print to that USB printer? If not then chances are Tarantella 3.30 will not. If you upgrade to 4.31 you will need to first upgrade to 3.42 then to 4.20 before upgrading to 4.31. Under 4.31 we support PDF printing from UNIX servers. With PDF printing you should have no problem printing to a USB printer.

My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop.
However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device. That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs. If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

Poor quality printing with quick books remote

I just started using the HP 8610 and now the print quality is poor when remote printing from quick books. It was perfectly fine wiht my OLD OLD HP 1200. checked with remote printing company and they have not helped. Any clues?

I have the same problem when using Logmein with my new 8610. Printing text heavy statements from remote computers that look fine on the screen, come out with fuzzy pics and pixelated words. This was also never a problem with our old 7510.

Google map directions don't print with map , preview & final are blank

I recently allowed updates of Firefox and of apple/imac software. Since then, when I try to print out a Google map with driving directions, the map prints, but the driving directions are missing. I am able to see the driving directions on the monitor, but they just don't print out.
Nothing is wrong with my printer, so I know that is not the problem.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

My phone contacts don't sync with Address Book now that I have "Lion"! PLEASE HELP!

Hello!
I have a Macbook Pro and have recently downloed Lion .... after having done this, my contacts no longer sync with Address Book. My calendar syncs with the iCAL but my contacts don't sync. I don't have iCloud set up and am not sure if that makes a difference, but any help would be GREAT!
Thanks!

The link provided did not contain a solution for me. However, based on what I read there, I was able to figure out the solution on my own.
Here it is. If you have a Motorola razr. Sorry I don't know which version of the phone or software I have. Go to phonebook. Choose the options by selecting the center menu key. Scroll through the list until you find Share Phonebook Entry. It is not in alphabetical order and may be the last entry. Select it and on the next screen choose bluetooth. The next screen is object exchange. If your computer appears as an option choose it, otherwise chose Look for device and when your computer comes up, select it. The phone will then send a card to your computer. Your computer will ask if you wanted to accept the card. There is also a box that gives you the option to select all. Check select all and then choose accept or hit return if accept is already highlighted in blue. The phone card will be saved to your computer in a default save location. You will next be given an option to see where the card is, in case you don't remember where your default location is. If you choose it, a window will appear showing you where the card is.
Next run isync and your data should be synchronized. Many duplicate entries will be somewhat altered in your computer's address book, i.e. first and last name will be combined and put in the first name box and so will not be recognized as duplicates. This is just part of the idiosyncrasies of the process. Manually go through and delete these.
This worked for me and I hope it is helpful to someone else out there having the same problem.
Thank you for the link Julian and others.

Using stylewriter 11 printer with i book if possible.

i am getting griffin tecnology adb/usb dhimate adapter. if i connect this to ibook & run floppy discs apple installer for printer which i have. as anovice will it be able to connect to and to be able to use printer. i do like these old apple printers so much & iot is such a shame if one cannot get going. thanks all. chris.

I am not familiar with the adapter in question. However, please note that ADB cannot be used here. A StyleWriter II has a MiniDIN-8 serial port, so you would need an appropriate USB-to-serial adapter. Keyspan at one point had such devices.
The StyleWriter II is a QuickDraw printer. The next problem would be to find a suitable printer driver. This web page (which mentions your printer) could possibly be of some help.

How do I get the layout guides (A,B,C column headers and 1,2,3 Row Headers) to print with my spreadsheet?

How do I get the Layout Guides (A,B,C column headers and 1,2,3 Row Headers) to print on my spreadsheet? They are invaluable for discussing the data with my clients over the phone.
They appear while I am editing, but don't print with the spreadsheet. I know how to do it in Excel, but I am transitioning to Numbers. I can't imagine I have to type them into their own columns and rows. It must be a difference in vernacular that I can't find the solution in the User Guide. Can anyone help?

Hi ktjobauer,
Numbers is not Excel and Excel is not Numbers. Numbers is WYSIWYG (at least in File > Print and the actual printout).
I can't imagine I have to type them into their own columns and rows.
No, you don't. You can use the charm of Numbers to create cell references for your Excel clients.
In this Numbers Table, I have added some extra Columns that you can hide later.
Column B =COLUMN(A2)
Column C =HLOOKUP(B2,'Table 1-1' :: $1:$2,2,FALSE) [explanation later]
Column D =ROW(B2)
Column E =C2&D2
Add those formulas to the first Body Row (below the Header Row) and Fill Down.
Column C refers to another Table which you need only create once, to convert a Column number to a letter:
and so on from 1-26, A-Z.
You can move the second Table to another Sheet to hide it. Formulas will automatically adjust to keep the links between Sheets.
Now in the first Table, select and Hide Columns B,C,D. Formulas will continue to work with hidden cells:
Regards,
Ian.

Print with HP laserjet CP 1025 color and Mac Lion 10.7.3

Can I print the photo book with any fonts?

I would like to print a photo book using iphoto. Is it possible to print this by using any fonts?

Don't get up your hopes, Old Toad . I never tried to buy a photo book from the iPad.
The documentation does not say much:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
It only mentions, that you can change the font size:
Edit text on a page
Tap Projects, and tap the photo book to open it.
Double-tap the page containing the text you want to work with.
Do the following:
Align the text: Tap the text box, and choose an alignment style from the menu that appears directly above the text box.
Choose the font size: Tap the text box, and tap the font size you want.
Make changes to the text: Double-tap the text box, and type.
No mention of the supported font. Probably the fonts will depend on the country of the Print Products Store you are using:
To change countries, tap at the top-left corner of the screen, and select another country from the list.

Fonts won't print or preview with the book

I've ordered some books that had text on the pages, when I got them back from apple, the font didn't print. I kept the default font in the settings and can't figure out why it didn't print. (usually the font is Helvetica Neuv) When I try to preview the book it will only preview page 1 and 2. I feel like an idiot but can't seem to figure this out.
To print/preview the book I highlight the book on the left of the screen, go to print, then hit preview. The book assembles and still only get page 1 & 2. Any help on both questions would be appreciated.

Try cleaning out the iPhoto cache folder that's in the User/Library/Caches folder. Also clean out the Font caches with OnyX.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Installing Fonts with Font Book

I recieved an Illustrator file to work on from a collegue. In addtion, they packaged the fonts that I needed to work with the file. When I unpackaged the file, the fonts showed up as a post script font, but would not load into Font Book. When I tried to add them through font book, I could see the files, but could not select them they were "greyed-out." If I doubleclick the file it opens up Font Book, but won't do anything else.
PLEASE HELP!

Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Lion Font Book problem with Adobe FontFolio 11

I have a fresh install of Lion. My problem is with FontFolio 11. It installs well, finds duplicates etc. The problem happens only after i deactivate all of the fontfolio fonts. After they have all be deactivated, if I click on any other font collection, fontd jumps up to 99% CPU usage and Font Book not responding. After 5 minutes of this Font Book's Real Mem usage slowly starts to increase, sometimes up to 3 gigs. Eventually, I am able to click through collection with no delay, however, after a system restart or just a Font Book restart, the process starts over and i have to wait.
I have tried:
Clearing every font cache file I can think of.
Using Font Finagler to clear font caches.
Restarting in safe mode.
Creating a new user.
Nothing has made this problem go away.
So, what exactly is happening? Why is Font Book fast and responsive with my 427 fontfolio fonts active, but when i deactivate them it slows to a crawl and goes through the same CPU/memory cycle every time? I have research and experimented for a solid week. I can't waste any more time on this. I'm this close to giving LION and Font Book the big thumbs down and buying something that actually works.
I never had a problem with snow leopard using Font Book and the same version font folio.

Same here. My thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15995212#15995212
I've had no replies. Have you looked at Activity Monitor while this is happening? check it out. I think i'm just going to go back to Leopard, don't know what else to do. Do you have an SSD in there?

Font Books and how to print them?

At home and at work, I deal with a growing library of fonts- about 57,00 at the moment. We use FontAgent Pro at work and I just got it up and running from Suitcase X1 at home. One thing we're looking to do is print out a comprehensive font book, and we need an application that is up to the task.
FontAgent's font compare is primitive, and the last application we used to print out a font book was theTypeBook on OS 9. It isn't even being developed anymore! Does anyone know of a decent application that's comprehensive and versatile? We're looking for typical A-Z, a-z, 0-9, symbols, and perhaps a word or sentence.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Power Mac G4/300 & Mac mini/1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just to clarify, I have about 57,000 fonts currently. Also, I just migrated from Suitcase to FontAgent Pro at home.
Again, any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Font Book: Installed postscript Fonts don't always appear in Font Book list

Greetings,
I was helping a user the other day with Font Book. I was showing him how to add/enable fonts into Font Book when I noticed a problem I had never seen before. Before I get started, the fonts in question are from the Adobe 7 Font Folio library. There were newly installed by me from the original disk, and known not to be corrupt. I also know that that Postscript fonts are an accepted font format in Tiger.
That said, when adding.installing a particular font using Font Book, it would not "Appear" in the Font Book" list of fonts. I would attemp to, again add/enable the font (by selecting it from the Adobe Library) and still it would not appear in the Font Book list with the other installed fonts. This would happen to any font that I tried to install. Once this happenend to a specific font, I could no longer get that specific font to install.
I removed the Font Book .plist - no luck. I also rebooted - no luck.
Obviously, no application was able to recognize any of the fonts that would not install.
It was as if Font Book would not recognize any font that I was trying to add/enable.
Could this be a corrupted cache issue, or .plist problem? Could this be a permissions related issue? What did work finally was to add the font to the "Computer" set, where it would be avaialbe to all users. But I could not get the font to install into the "User" set. Weird.
Also, What is the significance of these four fonts:
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
These fonts above are part of the default package that is loaded into the /System/Library/Fonts
Is it safe to replace these with Postscript version from my Adobe 7 Font Folio collection?
I have read most of the font related tutorials and articals.
thanks,
Hairfarm

where did
you get the information about pre-92 Adobe postscript
fonts being uncompatible?
Oh, sure, it's hard enough for me to remember things these days and now you want me to remember where I learned them from?? geez... [gone lookin' ... okay, back] It was, as I vaguely recalled, on the Adobe site, re troubleshooting in OS X, in a list of "do this to solve your problems": "Make sure that you are using the latest version of the font... If the font's creation date is prior to 1992, a new version of the font may be available." The only Type 1's that have given me any problems were, all three of them, older than 92, and in troubleshooting something here a few weeks ago, that turned out to be a problem for someone else, too.
But all of the Tiger font
research that I have done suggests that Adobe
Postscript fonts were acceptable.
Yes, well... Type 1's are supported. It seems that some older ones are a little funky (not in a design sense....)
Ideally, what fonts can be removed from Tiger from
the System/Libray/Fonts folder? I know that all four
of the MM's (Helvetica LTand Times LT), Lucida
Grande, Geneva, Keyboard, Last Resort, and Monoco
must stay, but what about the others?
You also need a real Helvetica - that is, not the MM version. You can replace the system's Helvetica with one of your own, but there must be an available Helvetica around at all times.
Then there's AquaKana (two of them, regular and bold). They're not on Apple's official "do not remove" list, but there's some anecdotal evidence of its being needed. It's "real" name begins with a period, so it doesn't appear in any menu, so it's not going to hurt anything if you leave it there.
In stripping down nonessential fonts, lots of people just remove everything from the Library/Fonts folder, but I think it's good to leave the basic most common web fonts available: Comic Sans, Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana, Times New Roman. This keeps web pages looking the way they're supposed to - and they shouldn't conflict with anything that's being really designed!
This is assuming that the fonts
being used are not damaged and "Pass" Font Book's
validation test.
The assumption within that assumption is false: Font Book's validation is pretty iffy. I think the only reason we don't see it as REALLY iffy is because fonts, on the whole, are pretty solid in OS X (your current experience to the contrary). I've installed fonts (properly) that flew through the automatic-on-install validation but failed when I used the Validate Font command afterwards. I've had fonts that pass both the on-install and specific after-install validation but get a Bad Font warning dialog when being re-enabled after a disabling. (And I didn't use the font in between... ) Who knew Font Book did any validating when you re-enable fonts??
This is what I would do:
(Not necessarily in this order)
1. Trash Font Book .plist
2. Trash all Font Cache's from all three libraries
(System, Computer, and User folders)
3. Reboot
4. Delete problem fonts from User and Computer
Libraries and reinstall using Font Book.
Please tell me if this strategy is ill-advised, and
what the better course of action might be.
None of it is ill-advised. I would add starting up in Safe Mode to see if the problems exist there as part of the narrow-down-the-problem stage. Same goes for setting up a separate user account and see how things are behaving there. (Yikes... did you try that yet??)
In addition, there are some special things to do when it's Office apps having the problem, or something going on with Adobe's application fonts folder...
Also, Zaph Dingbats is acting up as well. I removed
the .dfont version that was in the system folder, and
replaced it with the Adobe Font Folio Postscript
version (ITC Zaph Dingbats) that I loaded into Font
Book User/Library/Fonts folder. Now that I think
about it, that specific font has been around for
along time, and may very well be pre-1992. Hmmm...
Can you further define "acting up" ? In addition to the ZD dfont from the system, I've been using/testing ITC ZD from Adobe with no problems. It's version 2.0 with copyright dates of 1985 through 1987.
A lot to respond to. My apologies.
No problem. You caught me on a night when I'm too tired for real work but not so far gone I can't do this (tho I'm soon on my way, bleary-eyed, to get a fix of Sudoku puzzles).
