FONTS on OSX 10.4 And Under Classic (System 9 )

Okay - Ya' all be gentle. Remember - there are no
STUPID questions. I'm running a new G5 but have lots
of earlier stuff and a very large file of FONTS on my
old - very old - G3 - system 9.2. Classic seems to
be running fine but the fonts available in the
classic environment are very limited. I thought I
would just copy my fonts into the system 9 - System -
Fonts folder. I'm wrong!
You're right. That's precisely where you should put any fonts which you want to use with Classic.
OS X sees fonts in seven places:
1 System/Library/Fonts. System fonts live here. You cannot add or remove fonts from this folder.
2 Library/Fonts. Fonts which can be accessed by all OS X users live here. Put a font there, all users (except Classic users) can use it. Apple includes several fonts in that folder. Fonts placed there can be removed at will. Fonts can be added to that folder at will. Fonts in folders will show properly.
3 System Folder/Fonts. This is the OS 9/Classic fonts folder. Fonts can be added or deleted at will, so long as you don't delete the System fonts (Chicago, Geneva, etc.) and so long as you don't drop fonts in folders in there. Fonts in that folder are visible to Classic users, and to all OS X users. Fonts elsewhere may not be visible to Classic users, depending on which font manager you use.
4 <user>/Library/Fonts. This is the personal fonts folder for a particular OS X user. Fonts in that folder are visible to him, only. They are not usually visible to Classic users.
5 Network/Library/Fonts. If you have a file server, fonts placed in the network fonts folder will be visible to all users who can log onto that network.
6 <application support folder>. Some applications, notably from Adobe and Microsoft, drop fonts in private fonts folders. They can see them, but no other applications can. Microsoft now drops 77 fonts into your <user>/Library/Fonts folder the first time you launch Office 2004 without asking permission. (Yes, this annoys me.)
7 your font management application, if any, may use a font folder of its own. Linotype's Font Explorer X, for instance, generates a folder in your <user> folder named Font Explorer X and drops the fonts it knows about and which aren't system fonts in there. (It asks first. I like this.)
When I try to open System 9 - System Folder it
refuses telling me System is being used by System 10.
Sounds like a permissions problem.
I've tried shutting down Classic and get the same
results.
Classic's not the problem. You don't have permission to access that folder for some reason. Run Disk Utility, fix permissions. And make sure that when you want to change fonts, you're logged in as an admin user, not a normal user. (In the Accounts pane of System Preferences, does your user have Admin privs? If not, you're not going to be allowed to change certain settings. Period.)
Anyway - this old dog would be most grateful if
someone knows how I get my old familiar system 9.2
fonts installed in the system 9 (Classic) operating
system on my shiny new G5. It seems to me that I
have to have TWO system font folders - one for 10.4.3
which is fine and one for system 9.2 or Classic.
As I said above, you have a lot more than just two font folders.
Since I have YEARS of Pagemaker files archived and
since Pagemaker is still system 9 based I really
need a bit of help here.
Pagemaker will never be updated to OS X. InDesign may be able to open some Pagemaker files. In the meantime, you need those fonts in Classic.
Thanks.

Fonts from OSX to Classic

Hi,sorry, but I just can't seem to find the info I need in the discussions ongoing...hope this isn't too remedial.
I need to use a full version of Palatino in Pagemaker, which is a Classic App. The full version of Palatino (meaning, Palatino Bold, Palatino Italic and Palatino Bold Italic show separately in the Font Menu) exists in the OSX fontbook. I have tries to install, drag and copy it to the Classic Fontbook and to the Classic System Folder, but the font does not show up in its separate guises in the Classic menus...just as Palatino. Any ideas? According to the Fontbook, the fonts are validated in both Classic and OSX (and enabled, of course). If this is not possible to do on the 'intuitive' level, is there a conversion program that can be used? I appreciate in advance any help on this at all!!
Thanks,
Debbie

The fonts that come with OSX (Palatino.dfont) are not compatible with OS 9. You need the postscript or Truetype face of the font for OS 9.

Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?

Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
I just updated to the most current version of AE.
I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

How do YOU manage fonts in OSX?

I have not yet found the magic solution that lets me reliably manage large font libraries in OSX.
If anyone has got a solution, or is even merely coping, please pass on some tips.
Thanks,
P.

I have tried Font Book more than once. It is extremely slow, last shot a few days ago it sat hours without showing any signs of progress until I force quit it. This totally screwed my fonts, particularly in Safari.
This is consistent behavior for Font Book when you're trying to handle a lot of fonts. It just isn't very good at that task. Every single font you open with Font Book gets copied to the Fonts folder you chose in its preferences. Since both are considered "always on" folders by the underlying Unix system, Font Book also keeps a database of all installed fonts to determine which should be enabled and which are not. If this database gets damaged, fonts that Font Book says are enabled still don't show up in lists, causes long hangs at startup and other problems.
I did an archive and reinstall of OSX which introduced further problems, now some fonts are missing that were there before and others that aren't part of v10.5.6 seem to be installed.
You can reinstall just the fonts that came with OS X without having to resort to an Archive and Install. See my article which baltwo first linked to above. Any other fonts you've added should have remained where they were. They probably are still there, but a damaged Font Book database is likely keeping them from appearing. You can reset Font Book. Follow the steps in Undoing Font Book. Note that you will lose any font collections you have created. Doing this will also clear the font cache files for your user account. Since Font Book's database is reset, all fonts will in your Fonts folders will be active, regardless of their state beforehand.
I have also tried Suitcase (not for a while) it was also slow and somewhat unpredictable.
Versions X and X1 weren't the best, but Fusion is very stable.
Linotype Font Xchange looks nice but I can't figure out how it is interacting with fonts in Font Book and there seems to be issues with open fonts not showing up in applications.
I have to assume you mean FontExplorer X, since there is no such title as Font Xchange. Big mistake though that a lot of people make. Font Book is just another font manager. It has no special ties to the OS. If you do decide to use a different manager, delete the Font Book application from your hard drive. It's always best to have one, and ONLY one font manager on your system at a time.
Truth to tell I have never overcome the problems of font management in OSX. Is there no way of at minimum just coping with the problems of OSX fonts and at best getting back to the relatively smooth management of Mac Classic?
I find font management just as easy in OS X as OS 9 was. Well, once I learned why there were so many different folders all called Fonts, and why they are separated the way they are. Once you get that, it's a piece of cake.
I believe that is what we are supposed to have, which is the fonts linked (via a Font manager), but not open, and either opened as we need them manually or automatically as the application calls for them.
Agreed. Both Suitcase Fusion 2 and FontExplorer X work that way (actually, you need to tell FEX to use that method). While FEX is free, I still much prefer Suitcase. The biggest reason being that it ensures the same version of a font will be used the next time you open a document in an application that supports auto activation. That I know of, FEX can't do that. It has an auto activate feature, but if you use a different version of Bookman, it can't tell the difference. It sees Bookman and assumes all is okay.
Also there is no way of knowing in some apps whether you have just opened a TrueType .otf or PostScript .otf.
Almost all professional apps tell you the difference. TrueType fonts will be shown with a blue double T icon. OpenType with its green and black letter O. Type 1 PostScript with a red letter A. The only confusion comes from OpenType. Those can be created in TrueType or PostScript versions. The PostScript ones have .otf as their extension. TrueType versions have the same .ttf extensions as the original TrueType fonts of years ago. While you can of course see the difference between them by file name, programs don't differentiate them. They both get the same green/black letter O icon in font lists. There's no way to tell if it's a TrueType or PostScript OpenType font from there.
I can not do what I did in Classic which is have all the font variations in one suitcase and open and close them in one click.
Both Suitcase Fusion 2 and FontExplorer X will open complete sets in one click.
You can download FEX and play around with it as much as you want, being free. If you want it to open fonts in place, just make sure when you first launch it to choose the option "Don't manage fonts" (or something like that). It's kind of a strange way to state the option, but that's the one you want. Suitcase Fusion 2 can be downloaded and used as a fully functional demo for 30 days. It's only method is to open fonts in place. That or open in place and add the fonts to its Vault (the default). I personally see no use for the Vault and use only the open fonts in place option.

How do I increase the font size in my email and maintain resolution.

Hi folks. Mr Newbie is seeking some help, I hope it is relatively straight forward, thanks
How do I increase the font size in my standard email and document views without losing resolution. Right now my font size in email, headers and text is less than that on my iPhone, it rather defeats the point of having a 27" screen if most of it is blank and I have to sit with my nose to the screen to read email. Thanks for your help, once you have stopped laughing. C

Two things you can do to easily aid with readability in Mail are as follows:
1) Increase the size of folders in the sidebar:
a) select "system preferences" from the Apple menu
b) select "general settings"
c) select small, medium or large under "sidebar icon size"
2) Increase the text in the main body of the email (both sent and received):
a) select "preferences" from the Mail menu
b) select "fonts and colors"
c) adjust font size for "message list font" and "message font". I have noticed this works properly while in classic mode, but in regular mode the message list font doesn't appear to change size.
Select classic mode by accessing Mail preferences and selecting the "viewing" tab.
Another shortcut is to right click on the toolbar, then select "customize toolbar", and then drag the "smaller / bigger" buttons onto the toolbar. Now you can decrease and increase font size as desired on the fly.

Running under classic mode - Standard Options

In WLS 5.1 server, there was an option to run under classic mode in a UNIX environment.
We just upgraded to WLS 6.1 and in the docs, http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/perform/JVMTuning.html
it mentions classic mode available in NT but not in UNIX.
Does anyone know if the java option -classic will work under 6.1 and if not, what
the new option is.

-classic asks the JVM to use the old non-HotSpot JVM. First off, why do
you want to use it? It's most likely slower.

Fonts all gibberish in Safari and Firefox

Since upgrading my computer to Leopard, most websites are showing up with very strange fonts. I have the standard fonts installed on my computer, and I also added fonts from Adobe Type Manager. There is no way for me to post a screen capture here, but basically it's showing the general idea of the words, but each letter is a foreign letter or symbol and it's tough to read. Any suggestions?

Clear out the system's font cache files with Font Finagler.
Question of curiosity. How did you manage to get any copy of the Adobe Type Manager working? It was never updated to be an OS X application. As for OS 9 (Classic), that OS doesn't even work in Leopard, which the last version of ATM would require.

Fonts get switched between FCPX and Compressor

I edit my video, make some simple intro and outro titles with specific fonts (Gill Sans, Adobe Garamond Pro) and although the fonts look fine in Final Cut Pro X when I send the video to Compressor 4 FCPX swaps out the fonts. It's driving me nuts.
I've run Font Book and verified the fonts and they pass. I've done the share to Compressor twice and both times it swapped out the fonts, each time for different fonts.
Anyone have this problem or have a solution?
The video I'm editing hasn't been brought in and optimized, it's H.264 video in place, no audio. Very frustrating.
Here's a link to the video, you can see three different types of fonts due to the fonts being lost between FCPX and C4. http://www.hawaii247.com/?p=56608

I spoke with Apple Tech support, the first line told me if I had Adobe CS 5 installed on my system it would break the fonts, and suggested I create a new user, install fcpx under that user, and do my editing from there. I asked to have the case escalated.
The second line tech support indicated they have had no reports of this issue, however he was able to duplicate the problem 100% of the time using his "clean system" running Snow Leopard. He said he woulde further escalate the bug to the engineers.
As as work around he suggested I creat all titles in motion (alpha chanel only) and then bring into fcpx as a .mov file. Great, I only have a few hundred titles..
I suggest every user that is experiancing this either make a bug report via FCPX or call apple tech support and report it, otherwise it might be way down on the list of fixes.
So it is a bug, and has nothing to do with fonts, prefs, or Adobe products.

How can change the font in the script output and the data grid ?

How can change the font in the script output and the data grid in Sql Developer?

You can't easily unless you have the latest version (2.1.1).
If you do have this version then changing the font in the Tools/Preferences menu under the code editor/fonts section will also change the font of the data grid.
For details of changing the fonts in an earlier version then see Sue's post below.

Illustrator CS6 wont open, stops at loading fonts - MAC OSX

I have a MAC OSX 10.8.5. My Illustrator CS6 wont open anymore. It keeps stalling while loading the fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program twice and also tried deleting the font that it stalled at but then it would just stall when trying to load the next font. I did notice that it seemed to be stalling on fonts that AREN'T OTF format. I also wasn't sure to delete the fonts out of the SYSTEM, LIBRARY, FONTS folder or the other fonts folder location in LIBRARY. I really need to get this program working, please help!!!!!

thank you, already did that

Changing font size in toolbar menu and apps

How can I increase the font size in my toolbar and in things like iPhoto? It's so small on my big screen that it hurts my eyes to read it.

I am not sure if you can change that, but you could try adjusting the monitor resolution to make toolbars appear bigger.
To do this, go to System Preferences > Displays. Under resolution, select one smaller than your current one. The current one will be selected in the list.

NSS3000 folder permissions for Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.6

Dear all,
I'm working under the following specs:
Cisco NSS3000
Network with Mac OSX 10.5, OSX 10.6 and Windows 7
MacOSX computers are connected through NFS and SMB
Troubleshooting:
When we copy a file or a folder from a Windows, there's no problem with permissions. We can read, write, edit and delete the files
When we are using a MAC OSX 10.5 or 1.06 and we copy or create a file or a folder, the file or folder is only available for the user who copied the file or folder. It happens with all kinds of files.
The first idea is there's a problem with permissions settings in the NSS, or maybe in our OSX computers.
Any help will be welcome.
Best regards,
Joaquim Fonoll

One more thing:
If the folder or is created on the desktop of the mac, then can be edited (just change de name). The files it contents, cannot be changed.
Again, any help will be very welcome...
Best regards
