Fonts installed in Font Book 198.4 aren't showing up in Word after reboot. How do I get the fonts to work?

For a graphic design job I have, I installed several new fonts -- Prakrta, Ananda Namaste, and Samarkan. Once I unzipped the files, I double-clicked on each item (eg, Ananda Namaste.ttf) and launched the Font Book 198.4 window. The window displayed the font and asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked Install. I followed this procedure for all of these fonts. I then rebooted the computer, launched Microsoft Word... and the fonts do not appear in the font list in the pull-down menu. I opened Font Book, and the fonts are in there. I have no idea why the fonts are not showing up... help?

Do NOT follow the advice given by mediadebb. Unless, that is, you don't mind deleting every font Office installed for your use. You can have as many subfolders in either the main Library's Fonts folder, or the Fonts folder in your user account as you want.
There is one problem with that Microsoft folder, but it doesn't have anything to do with its existence. The problem is that Office installs old versions of newer fonts already installed by OS X. Those create font conflicts between those fonts. What you do need to remove are the old conflicting fonts.
In the main /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/ folder, remove these older legacy TrueType fonts. Note that they do not have a file extension such as .ttf.

    What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

  • How do i get the fonts panel to stay there?

    hi all
    i like to have the fonts panel in Pages visable while working on a document as I change fonts regularly in some running documents
    but when i close pages and reopen it, the fonts panel doesn't stay there like the inspector does, so i have to reopen it every time i open pages
    its not a big problem, but just annoying
    any suggestions?

    theorder,
    It's a known bug. In addition to the font panel, Pages forgets window position and other components of the saved state upon quitting. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it.

  • How can I get the font to be larger on my Outlook Express?

    Yesterday, I was on my email Outlook Express....I'm not sure why, but the font became very small. I can't figure out how to make it a larger font so it will be easier to read.

    Note that you might have changed the page zoom via the keyboard shortcuts "Ctrl + +" and "Ctrl + -" or with the mouse scroll wheel when you pressed the Ctrl key.

  • Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

    No on the book title, no problem there.
    The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
    Thanks for getting back to me.

  • How do I get my font suitcase fonts on my old Mac to my new 10.8.5 mac?

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently bough a new mac laptop becaue my desktop mac was running slow and not letting me use my design applications properly (freezing, crashing, and in general just being slow). I am a graphic designer, and have fonts on my old desktop mac that I need to have on my new laptop mac for client work.
    I went thru my old mac (I am not sure what original version it is, but it had been upgraded a few times to the 10.6.8), found all of the fonts and collected them into one folder, placed it on my new mac, and proceeded to install the fonts. The problem that I am having is that my old mac has a lot of fonts that are a font suitcase file, instead of a regular font format, and I cannot install these onto my new mac.
    I do not have access to any other forms of these fonts, so I only have the font suitcase versions.
    Is there something that I can do to make these install? It's becoming a pain to have to open up a document on my old mac to get the font and then outline it and open it on the new one (since the old one runs slow).
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    I am not sure, how would I find that out?
    You kind of have to know ahead of time. But here's one example of a Type 1 PostScript font:
    The suitcase here has .scr (short for screen fonts) tacked on. Sometimes it will say .bmap (bitmapped screen fonts, same thing). Many won't have any extension. It doesn't matter if they do or not. This particular font has only one matching printer font. The suitcase will have at least as many screen fonts in it as there are outline fonts for the set.
    A Mac legacy TrueType font will have the same icon and also have a Kind description of "font suitcase". There really isn't anything that will easily set them apart to know which one you have.

  • How do I change the fonts on the main page.My fonts have recently changed without my doing anything. They are like 6 point instead of the 12 I am used to. Email font is now huge. Is this an ATT/Yahoo problem or Firefox. Safari fonts seem to be o.k.

    How do I change the fonts on the home page? They recently shrank from 12 to very tiny..(6 pt?). I did nothing to change them, but after the event tried to change them using "preferences-Fonts"which had no effect. ATT seems to have made a change in their email. The fonts in the email are now huge (18 pt?). This could be an ATT/Yahoo problem with Mac, although Safari seems to be working o. k.

    Jim, extensions are also add-ons. Add-ons include extensions, themes and plugins.
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you need to make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
