Fonts in Word Disappeared

All of a sudden most of my MS Word fonts no longer show up when I open Word. I also notice that User folder in font Book is off and I can't get it to be enabled.
The fonts all seem to be in Library/Fonts and in Office Fonts.
Would appreciate any help on what to do to get my fonts to appear again.

Thank you for your responses.
The solution turned out to be just getting the User fonts enabled following this knowledge base answer. (which I would not have understood without your explanation that the ~ means your Home folder.)
Mac OS X 10.4: User collection in Font Book is dimmed ("Off")
In Font Book, you may come across a situation where the "User" collection in the Collection column appears dimmed with the word "Off" next to it, and you can't enable "User" from the Edit menu. This can happen after reinstalling Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, or after manually removing items from the Fonts folder within your home folder's Library folder.
To resolve this issue, manually add a font to your Fonts folder (~/Library/Fonts), then restart your computer. The User collection should then be available in Font Book.
Thanks again.

HP 1200 not printing pdfs/uses default fonts in Word docs

Happy Birthday USA!
Last week I loaded 10.4.10 to Mac mini and eversince I have not been able to print pdfs from Adobe Reader or print desired fonts from Word.
(I have overcome default to US letter problem in Word)
I have loaded latest drivers from HP site/ installed original drivers from HP disk but these appear to be for OSX rather than 10.4.10.
Any suggestions?

First of all I would try running Repair Disk Permissions. This can help with printing issues, especially after updates.
If you are able to print the same pdf's from Preview that you cannot from Acrobat, then you could try deleting its plist with it closed. If that doesn't help then try deleting and reinstalling Reader.
Re Word, are you getting Courier substitution for the fonts that are not printing or is the line blank where the text should be?

Help with embedding Type1 OTF Fonts in Word 2007/2010 docs

Hi,
I purchased a few Adobe OpenType Pro fonts including Myriad Pro and Garamond Pro. I want to use those fonts in Word 2007 and/or 2010 .docx type documents. It works fine while I work on my PC which has the fonts installed. Word recognizes the fonts and I can use them, in the 2010 version even with some OpenType features like ligatures, medieval numerals, etc. However, I have tremendous difficulties embedding those fonts so recipients can actually read and/or edit my documents.
Exporting the fiels into PDF also skips embedding the fonts (at least as long as I use Microsofts PDF Export).
Can someone please tell me:
1) Is embedding of OpenType fonts in Word 2007 or 2010 possible at all?
2) If not, can I trade in the fonts for the corresponding TrueType versions?
3) If that is not possible, is there a way to convert the fonts into TrueType without losing too much of the font quality?
Thank you all for your kind support.

Microsoft only allows embedding of TrueType fonts and OpenType TrueType-flavored fonts to be embedded in their Office documents. There is nothing in OpenType CFF fonts (the OpenType fonts with Type 1 outlines in them) from being embedded in Office documents other than a business decision by Microsoft. Complain to them.
No, Adobe does not provide its OpenType CFF fonts in OpenType TrueType format.
No, there is no reasonable way to “convert” OpenType CFF fonts to OpenType TrueType format without some degradation of quality. Essentially you would be converting Bezier curves definition outlines in quadratic curve outlines and discarding the hinting which provides for intelligent scaling.
I suggest you complain to Microsoft about this. Again, it is their business decision and pretty bone-headed one at that!

Why, after selecting it as a link to an external website, does the word disappear under a black box

I would like to create a link to an external website. But when I select the words and then type the url containing http:// in the "Link" field, the words disappear under a black box. How do I correct this?

Hello Nancy O:
Without the link applied, the page looks fine in the browser. But I am trying to figure out what is going on in the CSS file that would cause this. When I move the mouse over the design view, I notice that outlines forming boxes appear. They overlap the text that I want to create a link with. I tried deleting a box that overlapped the text, but doing so didn't work. I tried increasing the z index, but that didn't work. I tried applying an id instead of a class, but that also didn't work. I'll keep working on the css file. Thank you.

How do I convert PDF/JPEG file in "Brush Script MT" font to Word Document

How do I convert PDF/JPEG file in "Brush Script MT" font to Word Document? (I checked with Acrobat XI pro but no use

You cannot in Adobe Reader. You can try in Acrobat, but first you must try to run OCR (Text Recognition). I have never tried OCR on a script font.

Microsoft word disappeared from desktop

Microsoft word disappeared from desktop. Can I just load it off of DVD that was used originally to load it on the imac? Do I need to remove microsoft office first (other office items are still there)?

If it's the Dock that's missing the icon, you've not really lost anything. Open Applications > Microsoft Office and find the Word app:
Click and hold on its icon and drag it to where you want it in the Dock to restore it.

Missing fonts in Word documents?

Hi
I have just got a new iMac and have upgraded to Word for Mac 2011 from Word OSX and when I open older documents the original documents fonts are missing. Any ideas how I can globally correct this rather than changing each document everytime I open it
Thanks

See Font Management in OS X, for starters.

How come my toolbars in word disappear each time I close it

Every time I close Word my toolbars disappear. When I launch and go to View, Toolbars it shows them selected but they don't show on page. I have to uncheck and recheck to get them to appear again. Can anyone help?

I suggest you post your question on Microsofts own forums for their Mac products as it's their software you're having issues with:

Using Automator to change a font in word documents

Hi,
I have hundereds of word documents that are all in a horrible font. I would like to change the font to a more suitable one. Rather than opening every single document - can automator do this? Or is there an alternative solution? Thanks in advance

See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039384 and Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html and peruse the AppleScript forum.

Random words disappear from pdf and printed page

I work for a newspaper and we have had an ongoing problem from week to week of random words dropping off pages. It happens with the same font family each time but usually only occurs on one page a week. These fonts are used throughout the entire paper and has no problems in other places. The problem seems totally random. I usually send groups of pages (about 25)and the printer then extracts the pages.
They say the words sometimes drop off when the pages are extracted in acrobat.
I'm using indesign cs6, with the default "high quality print" setting. The font in question is the Knockout family from the Hoefler foundry. It is open type.
Does anyone have a solution for this? We had an entire headline drop off last week resulting in the printer having to reprint the entire paper... Not so good.
I have tried reinstalling the font but it has not helped.

Yes I export directly from InDesign and then send the files via FTP after that. Once they receive the files, they they use the Document/Extract tool within Acrobat to separate the files. Apparently this is when they find that letters on the page have been replaced by X'd out boxes.
Their fix is to open the orignal set of pages in Photoshop and rasterize the problem page. I would rather they don't do this so that we don't lose quality. Also, when fonts drop from the page, they can be easily overlooked by an unattentive printer.
Thanks for your help!

Printing a document to pdf - words disappear

HELP ...........When I print a document from word, myob or any other program to a pdf, it does not print the hole document. There are random words or paragarphs missing. If I uninstall and reinstall the original software this issue goes away. However as soon as any updates come through I am back to these incomplete pdf. Sometimes I have had to uninstall and reinstall twice a day. Has anyone got any ideas. Is there any sure way to stop my program updating or any other solutions out there.

Use ctrl-D to check for font embedding and let us know the result. Also indicate what job settings file you are using.

Font Book is selecting random fonts in word and pages

When I try to click a font for example, Times, it changes to a completely random one in pages or word. I downloaded new fonts but now i cannot change it back. Please help!

Hi Fitzy564! Welcome to the AppleWorks forum, a forum dedicated to the application AppleWorks. Your question would be better answered in Pages forum or MacOs 10.5 forum on this site. It would also help if you would describe the problem in more detail, like when did this start, have you done some maintenance late on the computer, new installed third applications, what does really happen when you choose a font etc. .

[CS 4] Is it possible to change the font preview word? (eg: default is 'sample')

Hello Adobe Community,
I know that with past versions, changing the word that was used to preview fonts ('sample') was not possible (in 2006 anyway). But, because I believe CS4 came out in 08, I was wondering if this was a feature that had been implemented since then for CS4.
If it wasn't done for CS4, is it currently availible for CC? It would be a great feature to have! I know you can change the preview size (which helps a lot) but changing the word would be awesome if you're doing a 'try out' for how a specific phrase looks and want to glance at the preview list instead of going through each font with the arrow keys to change it.
Thanks all!
-Michelle

One trick that has worked for me is to open a new file. Then using the Type Tool, I would type out a phrase or paragraph.
Do not commit the type, instead use Ctrl or Cmd a to select the entire typed phrase. Then Ctrl/Cmd h to hide the highlight
without deselecting.
From there, you can try different fonts, font color, styles and sizes and see a live preview of what it looks like and make notes so as to narrow down your choices.
You can also use this trick on an actual project, such as a poster or flyer.
I hope that answers it for you and if it works as expected,no need to upgrade unless there are other reasons.

Why won't FrameMaker load some fonts? Word sees them!

FrameMaker Fonts Not Being Recognized
OS: Windows 7
FrameMaker (Structured): Version 10.0.2.419
Problem:
We noticed that the PC I have does not include all of the client's fonts. We purchased the fonts based upon the Missing Fonts error FrameMaker (structured) keeps displaying. IT installed the recently purchased fonts (the fonts have the same name). Microsoft Word recognizes the fonts but for some reason when opening those source files, those fonts are not recognized/loaded by FrameMaker. Consequently, the fonts are temporarily replaced, as expected in this scenario. The same files open fine on another PC.
This is what we tried:
Uninstalled both Acrobat Professional (version 10.1.3) and FrameMaker 10 (10.0.2.419). Reinstalled both packages and opened the source files once again. The fonts still are not recognized. In FrameMaker they appear greyed-out in the selection field.
Could the system profile be corrupted? Years ago I remember RoboHelp repeatedly corrupting my system profile on my Windows XP system. Could a “Running out of memory” situation do this?
Any suggestions as to where to look?
Thanks in advance!

-when I try and install palatino, bold, roman, italic the Win systems says that the "copyright holder will not allow conversion to truetype"
I have seen a lot of fonts and I have never seen this message.
How do you "install" the fonts?
Do you happen to have any sort of font managing software working?
should I try uninstalling frame and reinstalling?
I don’t think this is necessary. If at all, FrameMaker creates a font cache file in %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\.cache_fonts. You might want to delete this file and then restart the computer before starting FrameMaker again.
