Fonts in font book not seen in pages

I have s of fonts in my font book but can't see them in pages. How do I make them be seen.

Welcome to the forums!
Do you mean you don't know how to see any fonts at all? If that is the case, use the Font icon in the toolbar, or go to the Format menu, and in the Fonts submenu choose "Show Fonts" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command-T). Any of these methods will bring up the Font Panel.
If you mean that fonts do not show up in the Font Panel, be sure that the fonts themselves are turned on in Font Book.

Font Issues on Book Recieved

I just received my 60+ page book from Apple.
I used the same font throughout the book and on 5 pages certain words were printed "hybrid". Meaning that certain characters in a particular word would mix between two fonts. The letters were still correct.
In addition I had two full bleed pages where one image covered the entire page and I inserted a title over the image. One printed fine, the other had a darkened box around the text.
Anyone seen anything like this?

As an update Apple offered a full refund for the book due to the printing issues. It took 5 days of e-mail but I got the desired result.
Thanks Apple

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.

Fonts not seen

Fonts in my main library fonts folder, and in my user library fonts folder are only being seen by Text Edit and Mail. Creative Suite 5 programs see System fonts and fonts in Adobe's fonts folder, but Freeway only is seeing System fonts. Font book says all are working correctly ( deleted some problem fonts that showed up). This problem appeared only recently, then myseriously went away and now it's back. If I have to have a Font in any of the Adobe programs I can copy it into the Adobe folder, but I need Freeway to update my web site and it's not recognizing the fonts that I've used.
Any one have any ideas about this? (I spoke to Apple support and while they were pleasant and sympathetic, they had no clue.)

Access to all fonts in font book from Pages

For some reason, when working in Pages, I do not have access to all the enabled fonts in my font book. Can anyone help me change this?

Welcome to the forums!
Can you see the "Collections" column on the left of the Font Panel? If not, drag the lower right corner of the panel to expand it. Once you see the Collections column, make sure that "All Fonts" is selected.

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

This should help. Good Luck.

Bangla font is not seen appropriately in firefox, but bangla font is seen in safari

In my computer Bangla font is not seen appropriately in firefox, but bangla font is seen in safari. It is also noted that bangla font is available in my computer.

I get a 500 error and the source code (right-click "View source code") show an incomplete HTML code.
I've tried Firefox and wget (a command line tool to retrieve web pages and files). Both lead to 500 server error.
For some reason, Chrome doesn't shows any error, but it seems that there's some configuration in your web server or in Wordpress.

What are the names of those fonts? Have you downloaded and installed the special Zawgyi font?
What is it exactly that you cannot read? Can you provide the url?

HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

Anyone in Apple if you see this message
These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Font book not disabling / deactivating fonts

Most of my fonts (1000+) are currently disabled in Font Book, but they still show up in the font menus in the applications I run (Photoshop, Adium, Omnigraffle, Mail.app, etc.).
Why don't my applications just reflect the list of fonts I have enabled in Font Book?
Possibly related: After I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, all of my fonts were enabled. I subsequently went into Font Book and disabled most of them (which is how I had things in Tiger).

I posted this below, but never had any replies or answers, I have since spoke to someone at the apple store who says:
I should not have them in my user/library/fonts, so now I only have them in HD/library/fonts.
My font book even after being cleared out still thinks and shows my old font history.
Last night my fonts were showing in Illustrator/PS/Indesign but now only shows a basic selection.
Was also told that I should not be running CS2 on my intel based MacBook Pro yet CS3 is not yet ready for Leopard.
I am just finding that my new MacBook Pro whilst fast and sexy seems to have moved away from the logic of old, maybe I am stuck in the past but my working day is greatly increase and eaten into due to clashing software and font problems.
Hi,
I recently got a Mac Book Pro with Leopard and transferred all my Files etc across when doing this I copied my Fonts from my Old G4 to my Mac book Pro and it does not recognise them and will not load them into Font Book, it always says bad font detected or will not validate them!
Obviously this is either a major oversight by myself or apples they work fine on 0S9 and on OSX but not with Leopard, can anyone help as these fonts cost alot of money!
I have also now been to a friend who is still on 0S X and copied them from my OS 9 G4 to a CD then tried them on his machine and hey presto they worked, so I then got him to copy them to a CD thinking I would then be able to make the step up again, but no I still can not access my fonts, Im getting stressed now because I am wasting time and energy on forums and asking friends and trying things, I have a deadline for a Design/Website which relies on this Font and can not get the fonts to work, Macs are meant to be a designers best friend??? I m really having trouble finding the patience with Leopard and it seems things have not been thought out, any one else had this problem or Is the answer starring me in the face, go back to OS X ??? Please Help a slowly depreciating MAC fan !
Thanks

HT4637 Why have I lost the Campbell font in pages? I have it on my iMac but not on the pages version on my Macbook Air?

I've just sent a pages document using Campbell font from my iMac to my Air and I've lost the font - where has it gone??
James

Campbell is not a standard Mac font. Fonts are held in your Systems libraries they are not part of your document.
Download it from here:
http://www.font-db.com/font/CAMPBELL+Regular/25717
and double click it to install it.

Fonts shown as installed by Font Book not available to applications

I have several fonts that Font Book shows as installed that are not available to any of my applications, including Word and Quark Express. These fonts include Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, and Arial Italic, all of which I believe were installed as part of OS 10.4, along with several other fonts in the Arial family that are available to my applications. How can I get all my installed fonts to be available to my applications?
John Link

HI John,
Try deleting the FontBook pref file: com.apple.fontbook.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the .plist file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Word or QE and see if those fonts are available now.
Validating fonts
If fonts are not displayed as expected when you open documents or you cannot open documents, it's possible fonts have been corrupted. You can validate fonts to confirm they are still safe to use, and remove any corrupted fonts you find.
Take care not to remove system fonts, located in /System/Library/Fonts; removing system fonts could cause some applications to quit unexpectedly.
To validate fonts:
Open Font Book and select one or more installed fonts to check.
Choose File > Validate Font.
In the Font Validation window, review the fonts listed for warnings or errors. Use the pop-up menu to display warnings and errors separately, if necessary.
For fonts with warnings or errors, click the disclosure triangle next to the font to see which validation rules show errors.
To remove a corrupted font, click the checkbox next to the font. Make sure fonts you want to keep are not checked. Then click the Remove Checked button.
You can also use the Console utility to troubleshoot problems with installed fonts. In the console.log window, type "font" or a font name (such as "Arial") in the Filter field to find font-related log messages.
You can validate font files before installing the fonts. To do so, in Font Book choose File > Validate Files. Browse to and select a font file to validate and click Open. Font Book displays the Font Validation window and indicates whether it found problems with the font.
