Fonts not appearing under all users

I have recently performed a clean install on one of our G5s. When I installed the our corporate fonts, the only appear in Font Book under the admin account and not the other user account.
Whenever I try to add them to Font Book in the other user account, they still don't appear.
I have installed them in /Library/Fonts folder, so assumed they would be available to all users.
I'd appreciate any ideas.

Hi, Maff. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Double-check that they are not in the Home > Library > Fonts folder of the Admin account on the affected Mac.
Font Book's preferences specify by default that fonts installed via Font Book are saved in the User collection, i.e. the Home > Library > Fonts folder of the user installing the fonts. If one wants to use Font Book to install the fonts in the Computer collection, i.e. the Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder, one must change this in Font Book's preferences.
2. If you did not use Font Book but placed the fonts in Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder of the affected Mac yourself, assure that:
• The permissions for Others on that folder permits Read Only.
• The permissions for Others on the fonts in question are at least Read Only.
Check the permissions using the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the Get Info window of that folder or the fonts in question. If the permissions are incorrect, make changes accordingly using the Others pop-up menu.
Good luck!

  • Some device fonts not appearing under 11.0.1.152

    Mac OSX 10.7.1 (Lion)
    Safari 5.1
    Firefox 6.0.2
    I have several swfs published for FP 10 & 10.1 which have been working fine under FP 10.3.182.10 in both Safari and Firefox.
    The swfs have code that displays a device font ("_sans") for certain languages, such as Greek, Russian etc. After upgrading to 11.0.1.152 some of the device font text is not appearing. I say some as it stills appears correctly in some places but not everywhere.
    I have re-installed 10.3.182.10 and it works perfectly again in both browsers.
    In case this problem was related just to the browser plug in I also installed the standalone player for 11.0.1.152 (Flash Player Debugger) and ran the swf from my desktop by double clicking it. Once again the fonts stopped displaying correctly.
    If I run Test Movie from within Flash Professional, the text appears correctly as I have installed 10.3.182.10 as the version under "Players" in the Flash Professional installation folder.
    Can anybody shed any light on what is going on here?

    I think I have been able to replicate the issue.
    My swf has some dynamic text under a mask which by default is set to display as Arial. By changing a Boolean variable to true, I set the text field to use a new TextFormat which has a font property "_sans".
    Here is the complete code:
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    var useDeviceFont:Boolean = true;
    if (useDeviceFont) {
              var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
              format.font = "_sans";
              myClip_mc.myText_txt.embedFonts = false;
              myClip_mc.myText_txt.defaultTextFormat = format;
    myClip_mc.myText_txt.text = "Hellobvxcxcvbnrsdjytfkugilhdjgsfhjkl";
    The result is that with FP 10.3.182.10 installed I can see the text. but with 11.0.1.152 the text does not appear. Here are two screen shots:
    My system is Mac OS X 10.7.2
    Safari 5.1.1

    I can also see the same issue when viewing the swf in the standalone versions of the player.

    I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • Songs not appearing under artists

    Hi,
    I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
    On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
    Example:
    I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
    [ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
    only song A is shown.
    But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
    So you see my problem,
    If you have any idea, please answer,
    Regards,
    Waq
      Windows XP Pro  

    "the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
    There is the problem.
    See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
    From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • Activated fonts not appearing in Illustrator?

    I'm running Illustrator CS on a Dual PPC G5 running OS 10.3.9. I have an OpenType font active (using Linotype FontExplorer to manage fonts) and can use the font in all programs except the Adobe ones (Illustrator and Photoshop). Why would the font not appear there? I need it for a logo that I have to manipulate into a vector graphic, but I can't do anything if it won't appear in the type menu. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix this?

    Christine,
    Did you by any chance create the fonts yourself? OpenType fonts shouldn't cause any more trouble than Type 1 if they are correctly made and named.
    If their names show up incorrectly or if they don't show up at all, it's probably because someone did something wrong in Font Info when he was making the font. If you make use of the Build Names thingummy in FontLab Studio it can save you a lot of this kind of trouble. I have done quite a bit of this kind of work - adding Icelandic characters to fonts and that sort of thing - and find that it's absolutely essential to do things right if you want to avoid problems in FontExplorer.
    It can sometimes happen too that fonts are made specifically for Windows, in which case they may need to be edited and re-saved for Mac before you can use them so that they work perfectly. You can often get a Windows font to work well on a Mac but you should keep your eyes open for glitches all the same.
    And another thing, you may occasionally need to restart Illy when you've made changes to fonts in FontExplorer. This doesn't happen often these days but still crops up occasionally all the same.

  • "Assign access control" not appearing under Essbase in shared services

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone point out the reason behind this? This is leading to all sorts of problems. Configuration is as follows:
    App Server: Foundation, EAS, Planning, Reporting, Web Analysis, Workspace on Tomcat

    Essbase is on Shared Services mode.
    This is actually very urgent. Would be grateful for any help.

  • All my songs by certian artists don't appear under their names, but all their songs appear under 'all songs'

    So when I search for a specific artist on my phone, say, Whitney Houston, I only see like 3 or 4 songs, but when I go to see all the songs on my iphone, all her other music is there.
    I've checked my music on iTunes on my mac and I see that her name is spelled correctly for all songs and none are checked off with "skip when shuffling" or anything like that.
    I've noticed the same issue for other artists too. My songs appear under all songs, but not always under their artist name.
    What can I do so all my songs appear under their artist name?

    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

  • Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
    My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
    After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
    Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • Adobe extension show in the Extension Manager and are enabled but do not appear at all in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Adobe extensions show in the Extension Manager and are enabled but do not appear at all in Photoshop CC 2014.  Third party extensions do show up and can be used.  All extensions are available in and can be used Photoshop CC.  I have reinstalled CC and Extension Manager to the most recent releases and the Adobe extensions are still not available in Photoshop CC 2014.  What should I do now?

    Flash based extensions are not supported by PS CC 2014 anymore. Please refer to http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2014/04/photoshop-spring-cleaning.html, http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2014/06/installing-the-2014-release-of-creative-cloud.html

  • After I covert my excel file to PDF, my images are cut off or not appearing at all HELP?!

    Hello!
    I am creating a Exel Work book and converting it to a PDF file (easy to share online).
    Once I convert the Excel Work book, some of my images are cut off or not appearing at all.
    Which I find weird because some images pop up just fine.
    These images are originally flats from Adobe Illustrator I converted to pictures with Excel.
    So why is that when I convert my workbook to a PDF file some images show through and others don't?
    Please Help!

  • Not appearing under devices

    When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices.  I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly.  The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening.  I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
    Any ideas?

    See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
    And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
    Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?

  • ExtensionHardening in Excel 2010 - Changes Do Not Replicate to All Users

    Folks!
    The below fix works great when the change is done on the current user (accessing the PC).
    How this REG be applied to ALL USERS?
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Security]
    "AccessVBOM"=dword:00000001
    "ExtensionHardening"=dword:00000000
    This is corporate machine where users cannot change registries. We can run REGEDIT as Admin and make change to Current_User, but this does not expand to All Users.
    Please please....Help!

    Hi,
    I have a workaround for you.
    We can try to write some code to apply the REG when the Excel starts.
