Fonts Not Showing in Pages: Why?

I have an extensive font library installed on my machine (running latest version of OS X Mavericks).
All of my fonts appear in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, et al. But the vast majority of fonts will not appear in my font list in Pages.
Why is this happening and how can it be fixed?
Best regards,

I went to the Apple Store and obtained the answer.
Apparently Apple changed the way OS X and their apps handle non-unicode fonts. If the font is not mapped to the Latin keyboard layout, then the font will not appear in the font menu of any program made by Apple. So, for example, Zapf Dingbats, Symbol, et al. will not show up in your menu and you cannot type those characters into a Pages document
-- UNLESS --
you open Character Viewer and manually select the font there and then type the character using Character Viewer.
It's insane.
I really think that the easiest solution to this is for Apple to simply have the Font manager map non-unicode fonts automatically the way that Adobe Type Manager used to back in the day.
The workaround to use a font like Zapf Dingbats feels a lot more like using a Windows machine than a Mac. Very un-Apple-esque.

I use Fontcase to manage my fonts.

Hi wbhamilton
Welcome to the forum.
Give us some details. What format are the fonts, and where, and how did you install them?

Fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Fonts not showing up in InDesign CC 64bit

I find it extremely difficult to believe that Adobe have not found a solution to the issue of installed fonts not showing up in InDesign. If anybody has found a solution that does not include the "rewriting" of font types. Please assist. We specialize in Brand Management, and it becomes extremely challenging when Adobe InDesign does not show up the installed font in order to ensure Brand Management :/

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
I'm not sure if this is the cause for anyone else, but I had the same symptoms--almost no fonts showing up in InDesigns Font dropdown options.
THE SOLUTION: The new version of ID has two "font filter toggle button". They are the "Apply Favorite Filter", and "Apply Typekit Filter". It seem that in my install, the Typekit filter was on by default, which makes it so that the Font list only displays those fonts that originate from Typekit, as opposed to the thousand you have on your hard drive.
Click the toggle to turn off the filter and --zowee! All your fonts come right back.
I hope this helps some of you. It would also explain why people on both Macs and Windows boxes are having this issue.
Best,
Lance

Will not show web page on windows high contrast

Hi,
Am running Windows 7 64bit
my problem is as follows.
I normally run Windows in high contrast mode and would prefer all web sites to be on the dark side.
Occasionally I need to be able to see a web page as its designers intended it to be.
So I want to have the text white and background black and then the ability to toggle between that and the web page's own colour scheme.
Thought I'd found exactly what I needed in the add-on "Toggle Document Colors 1.0"
Am presuming it toggles the status of the "Allow pages to choose their own colours..." tick box.
This setting seems to get lost when FF closes. Even if I set the tick box myself and then close FF it is gone when I reopen FF.
If the box is ticked and a page refreshed it still does not show web page colours ?
Without any addons at all after a reset and only using the colours dialog I cannot get it to behave.
If you start in Windows white mode (normal) things are better even after FF close. Change to Windows black mode (high contrast) things start off ok then after you close FF it will not work
If there is a solution I would love to know it.
Will settle for a workaround.
Considered using old version of FF, but this is not really a good idea.
Really don't want to go back to IE
in hope ... Bob

iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.

Not showing web pages

Firefox is not showing any page; all the content is in absolute white; the source code is the same. The Antivirus and the spyware is not detecting any issue in the machine. The others browsers are working normally. I tried to unnistall the software, reinstall, update and nothings solve the problem.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Hindi font not show in Pagemaker

Hindi font not show in Pagemaker

Pagemaker has limited font support and will not be able to handle Hindi. There was a middle eastern version back in the day, nut I'm not sure if it supported hindi. Indesign and maybe some 3rd part plugins would be your best bet.

Why are my desktop fonts not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore?

Why are my desktop fonts are not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore? I know that my desktop fonts are not web safe and will export as an image... But I would still like to have them as an option. Why did this start with the latest release? I cannot find anything in the preferences or menus to make them show up as an option. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and Muse 2014.0.1.30 CL785017. Please help!!!

Hello,
Could you please try the following:-
Reboot in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key (it takes a while) so the OS clears the font cache.
Reboot then in normal mode and the fonts should show properly.
Regards,
Neha

Chinese font not showing up in Illustrator

Greetings, I am having a problem getting a font to show up in Illustrator (and every Adobe app) but it appears just fine in Word. The font is located here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/chinesehistory/contents/08fea/c02.html and is called "HanDing-CS" (HDZB_10.zip), here is a direct link to it from that page:
http://www.ibiblio.org/chinesehistory/contents/08fea/c02files.01fon/HDZB_10.zip
Could someone see if it works in their Illy, and if not, any idea why?
Thanks all

The blurb on that page says that they are specifically encoded using the Asian version of TrueType, meaning they would require the system to be set to an Asian region and have the default non-ASCII encoding set accordingly to render everywhere. I can't get it to render any glyphs here on my German system except for the generic placeholders or the substitution font (Times). I doubt this will ever work without changing the system language setup, but of course feel free to experiment with the various glyph substitution and text replacment options in AI in the prefs and character palettes.

Fonts not showing in InDesign CS6

Hi there,
I've seen a similar question to this before through a Google search and I tried the advice listed such as placing the affected fonts in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\InDesign CS6\Fonts; as well as searching for fonts with a **after its name. Doesn't work. The files originated in CS5 and pops up saying there are two missing links (fonts) which are Avenir Book and Avenir Black. I've done the "Find Font" and the only one that shows is Avenir Book. Avenir Black isn't even there, even after re-installing and relocating to the new folder. Secondly, even after I save the file after "finding" Avenir Book, upon re-opening it still says it's missing. Is there anything else I can try-short of uninstalling InDesign CS6 (I still have CS5 installed)? Also, I'm not that familiar with InDesign, it isn't a program I use much.
Thanks!

Is this the same computer where the files started out in CS5?
There are probably quite a few different cuts of Avenir (certainly over the years it has been available as TT and T1 in both Windows and Mac formats, and I have an OpenType version here from Linotype). Some possibilities for why CS6 might not see a font are that you have installed a different version, you have more than one version installed or it is installed in more than one location, or that it is looking at a different internal name in CS6. Typically, if the fonts are showing as missing, but are, in fact installed, using Find Font and substituting the same font will solve the problem.
