Fonts selection scrolls past one I need

I am using Indesiagn CS3. I am starting a new version of our catalogue using same CS3 as previous issue. It is a lot of merging so it is not being some from scratch. I am now unable many times (not all) to select the font I need. The cursor is unable to select the font I need and just flashes by and the font selection screen moves at a very rapid rate and I get what ever font if seems to select. I need to use the same fonts as in the last issue and cannot figure out what is happening. It is frustrating as I can not figure out what is causing this problem as I really need the fractions in the glyphs to show and the fraction selection is pretty slim in most fonts. Could I have corrupt fonts???  Any suggestions would be appreciated. Joan

There's no way I know to test other than to back them up and replace them. If the problem goes away, they were corrupt and you should trow out the backup set. If not, you can put the old set back to restore all the customizations that will be lost when you do the replacement. Read tyhe comments in Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences

  • Font selection off by one in Office/Word

    In order to select a font now in Word, I must select the next font alphabetically to get the font I want (e.g. select "Times New Roman" to get "Times"; select "Papyrus" to get "Palatino")
    HELP!

    If you don't get an answer here, try the Word forum. It's important to always tell people what version of Word you are talking about.

    What font? What system? What Glyph? What language settings? Could be anything. Either way, ask in the AI forum. You'll get quicker answers there - if you provide all the required info.

    I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't continue in Hebrew.  I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1.  I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

    Just clarifying:
    Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
    Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
    If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
    If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
    As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

  • How To Copy Selected Music From One Library to Another?

    What is the best way to copy selected music from one library to another?
    I have a big and growing iTunes library -- 33,000 songs.
    A year ago I copied my library to my daughter's new iMac.  Now, a year later, I'm off to visit her and wonder how best to update her library.  In the past year I have added a number of items to my library and I'm sure she has done the same -- some might be the same but many will be different.
    How do I update her library with the new things I've added in the past year but not wipe out things she had added or duplicate when we each have a song?
    I can load any / all of my stuff on an external HD and take that to plug in to her computer.  Then what?  I want to avoid duplicates and make sure I get stuff like album artwork.
    I'm running iTune 10.4 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 -- my daughter will have the same iTunes and OS X once we update her software.
    Any advice would be great.
    Thanks

    If you're sharing the same Apple ID and all your songs are from the iTunes Store, it's easy:
    In iTunes on your computer, go to File->Preferences->Store and check the box next to MUSIC under AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS.
    You should also read this article, the section titled TO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED APPS, BOOKS, MUSIC, OR TV SHOWS TO YOUR COMPUTER:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    You could also use an rsync utility such as backuplist+ to perform a 2-way sync of the files in your two libraries while your computers are connected via FireWire with one of them in FireWire Target Disk Mode, or from your external hard drive with your daughter's computer and then to yours again. After that, you'll need to use iTunes on each computer to update its library with the new files:
    http://rdutoit.home.comcast.net/~rdutoit/pub/robsoft/pages/backup.html
    This last would also be the preferred method if you have authorized each other's computers for media purchased with each other's Apple IDs (i.e. you are not sharing the same Apple ID), or if you have music from sources other than the iTunes Store. Most likely, though, music from sources other than the iTunes Store would not be legal to copy in this way for this purpose, although there is probably no technical impediment.

  • How do I select more then one channel to view in tdms file viewer graph panel

    I have a TDMS file that I can view with the labview 2013 TDMS file viewer and I can select one signal out of 15 signals to view on the graph panel. however I would like be able to look at 2 or 3 signals
    on the same graph but can't seem to be able to select more then one signal at a time. Is there a way to select more then one to view?  

    I've modified the TDMS viewer in the past to allow selecting multple channels.  It's a little bit of a pain because the tree control in the viewer only allows you to select one item.  You have to edit the tree to allow multiple items.  Now your selection is an array instead of a scalar.  This means the rest of the code has to be updated, and the references to the tree in subVIs need to be updated.  Not impossible but it takes some time.  Alternativly open it in Excel with the free add-in then you can select the two columns you want and insert a graph.  Not as simple for the user but using Excel, which users should be familiar with might mean users need less training on data files.

  • Selecting more than one object at a time

    Hi guys and girls
    I am trying to select more than one object on my artboard and Shift+clicking on the next one isn't working...
    I am creating an interactive form in Indesign and realised that I have everything on one layer... I have radio buttons for yes/no questions and I wanted to move them to a new layer for ease of selection and editing...
    I have tried selecting one and then Shift+Click on the next but it just moves which one is selected...?
    I even tried creating a new layer and dragging them up to the new layer...no Dice?
    Has anyone any ideas....Please!
    bookie56
    P.S. Just realised that the radio buttons are part of the text? Could this be the reason why I can't move them. Doesn't solve the question about selection though

    Hi AnshulJain19
    OK! sort of guessed that....thanks for coming by.
    I am still on this form and have created multiline text boxes for two of my text boxes.... have checked the positioning of the boxes - but when I write in the box in Adobe Acrobat the text is quite a long way above the line...this is only happening with the multiline boxes.
    Is there a way to export a font colour for the boxes or does this need to be done in Acrobat Reader...?
    I have a standard dark background for my page and that needs a White font...when I fill the form in it is black...

  • Font selection view control in Web Gallery

    LR4.1 RC2
    I wanted to be able to change the font type from the UI panel using a font select popup.
    This control really only seems to exist in the inbuilt edit modes (eg: id plate and watermark) so I have tried a workround which seems to work OK so far. Maybe it will help someone else out working with webengines.
    Mac/OSX only at this stage - good source file in Windows may be font.inf but would require a bit of parsing or get a folder listing somehow.
    Basically I read in the contents of the fonts.list file - which appears in the OSX fonts folders - and then massage the contents to get a raw list of the fonts.
    This raw list is then read into a lua table and consumed by the UI popup control.
    Should there be an obvious way that I haven't seen then just give me time to find a banana to eat ... anyway here goes -
    Changing the font type for the cell index numbers.
    Grid cells use cellIndex to give the photo number and in my webengine the css class is .itemNumber       
    Data Model references -   Note:   %s is important for select to work - if %q is used select will work but font won't change ( %q adds quotes to the string ).
                ["appearance.itemNumber.font"] = function() return string.format( "%s", nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize .. "px " .. nonCSS.itemNumber.font ) end,
                ["nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize"] = 60,
                ["nonCSS.itemNumber.font"] = "inherit", 
                fontlistpath = LrPathUtils.child('/Library/Fonts','')    -- OSX Default fonts
    Code just prior to LR UI Views -
            deffonts = templatepath .. "/pgresources/" .. 'osxdeffont.txt'      -- templatepath is the root path of the webengine - this is the tweaked OSX fonts.list file
            function readFontsFile( deffonts )
                local fileLines = io.lines( deffonts ) 
                ff3 = {}           
                for line in io.lines(deffonts) do
    Filter lines here ...
    eg:   -
                    line = string.sub(line, 17)   -- remove 1st 16 chrs        (/Library/Fonts//Osaka.ttf)
                    line = string.gsub(line, "(.ttf)", "")
                    local kline = line
                       local vline = line
                       table.insert(ff3, { title =  kline ,value = vline })
                end
            end
    LR UI View for font select -
                f:popup_row {
                    title = "Font family :",
                    bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font",
                    items =  ff3,
                    bindingEnabled = "appearance.itemNumber.display",   -- control should be disabled if display checkbox false
                    tooltip = "Choose wisely Dave!",
    Using this method is not perfect but gives a good selection of fonts - I found that to improve the success rate the default font file was copied into the webengine
    resources folder and tweaked. eg:  the default file gives Brush Script.ttf but I needed Brush Script MT to work, similarly with Arial Rounded Bold which needed changing
    to Arial Rounded MT Bold
    Basically to find the correct descriptions you could do far worse than to use the ones in the edit selections used by the ID Plate/watermarking features.
                Well there you go ...
    As an aside I did try an undocumented control which on double click popped up a system font selection dialog (the whole nine yards) but  couldn't get it to link to the css class so I didn't persist - not a good idea to use undocumented controls but can be fun to play with.
        f:font_picker {
            font = "Copperplate",     -- showed font as highlighted when picker opened.
            width = 80,
            value = "Arial",    -- appeared on control (title ??) - this value only changed according to the font selected after double-clicking on another hidden control (f:image_well)
            bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font",  -- linkage didn't work
    Again, unless I missed it, it would be really good to have the font_picker documented and working for the web gallery views.  Fonts seem to be a murky area -
    probably accounts for the hassles I am getting with the watermarking feature as well.
    Update :
    If the font doesn't work try using the PostScript name as a value which invariably works.
    eg: Handwriting - Dakota  will not work but Handwriting-Dakota will.
         Arial Bold will not work but Arial-BoldMT will.

    I don't think that there is any option to set the default view in the web album. If anyone has found an option to do this, then I will like to know as well.
    Quite a lot of the settings in web album seams to be "hard coded" and only a few settings are available for users to control.

  • Font Selection in Keyboard Viewer

    In previous versions of the OS the Keyboard Viewer let me choose what font I wanted to view. Now all I see are "Standard" and a few odd fonts. Am I missing some preference setting that will allow me to view ANY font? I have, for instance, Koch Signs which I can't view at all any more.

    Tom Gewecke wrote:
    for most special characters you must use the Character Palette and not the keyboard for input. The Favorites section of that is designed to provide easier access to special characters that are frequently used. Or a custom keyboard layout can sometimes easily be created to include characters you need all the time.
    If you tell us exactly which ones you need, we can probably tell you whether and how a keyboard combo can be used.
    In my workflow, the special characters I need to use generally do have a keyboard combination to activate them -- my frustration is over the seemingly increasing hassle it requires to see what that key combination is. And the difficulty with setting "Favorites" is that there aren't really any specific ones I frequently need on a regular basis.
    Here's a typical example: I was recently using the Hoefler Text font to generate captions and special titles for some montages I was creating in Photoshop. Hoefler has an "Ornaments" style, which had some decorative glyphs I wanted to use to bookend some of the text entries. Using Font Book (with Preview set to Repertoire) I could easily see all the available glyphs in that Ornaments style, at whatever size I wanted to view them.
    So far so good. And each of these characters had its own keyboard combination. The trouble is, Font Book (unless I'm missing something) won't tell me what that keyboard combination is for any given character. And Keyboard Viewer now won't let me select the font and at least see to which keys (and with which modifiers) all of the characters for that font have been mapped. (In fact, Keyboard Viewer should automatically open with whatever font you're currently using already selected.)
    So I end up having to run my finger along every key in every row, and then do the same with Shift, Option, and Shift-Option held down, just to figure out which key combo generates the little left-facing squiggly thing in this particular font.
    With Character Palette (which I've re-discovered thanks to this and other threads), I can at least use the Insert option to pop a selected character into whatever file I was working on -- but how do I first try out a special "string" of these characters to see how they'll look together? I seem to recall the old Key Caps utility would let you do that.
    I guess my main point is that all of these kinds of functions and options need to be integrated into Font Book in an easy-to-use way.
    PS The best place to tell Apple how you feel about this issue is here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Believe me, I have. For many, many apps. Many, many times.
    I sometimes wonder how seriously the Feedback is actually monitored, however, since very often the options offered in the questions you need to fill out (what version of the app are you currently using; which version of the OS; etc.) are several months out of date. One can only hope that even though the pages themselves are not being actively maintained, at least some of the user input sent via those pages does get looked at.
    (And while Apple would never say this publicly, IMHO if they're smart they've also got a staff of people whose only job is to monitor the Apple Discussions Forums, and track what's working and what's causing frustrations in the OS, its hardware, and all of the apps.)
    In any case, thanks Tom for the reply and the offer of assistance.

  • Font selection by typing font name into from down field

    I have noticed this since upgrading to Photoshop CC 2014:
    When I want to select a font by typing its name's first few characters into the drop down field, all intuitiveness goes out of the window. The very first character I type gets dropped and rather than bringing me closer to the typeface I'm after, it starts presenting all fonts starting with the 2nd character I've typed. I.e. trying to get to the "Titillium" font selection, I start to type "Titil..." and it gives me the "i" listings in my large number of fonts. This is happening on all my installations of Photoshop CC 2014 (3 different Windows computers and setups).
    Is this a bug or another example of second-guessing what might be helpful when it actually isn't? Not getting the logic of why I have to type "AArial" if I want to get to the "Arial" font in the selection box.
    I know I can simply scroll down in the list of fonts to get to the one I want to use, but in the land of shortcuts, surely scrolling should only ever be the 2nd best choice.
    Looking forward to some insight.

    New features summary
    Search for fonts
    New in this release of Photoshop CC
    You can now quickly search for fonts in the Text tool options bar and Character panel font lists. As you type the name of your desired font family, Photoshop filters the list on the fly. You can search for fonts by font family or by style. Font search doesn't support wildcards.

  • Encore CS3 Font Selection - No Instant Preview disappointment

    It is disappointing that I need to open a different application rather make my font selection in Encore.
    I am supprised Encore CS3 does not have an excellant font preview.
    Where are the Architects and Product Owners??? Is it pulling too much functionality into Encore? Are you expecting most edits to be done in Photoshop, so why bother?
    Microsoft Word 2007 gives instant feedback as I scroll through my fonts. This is what I would really like to see with both Encore and Photoshop.
    And where is the autosave functionality found in Premiere. Two crashes due to msvcr80.dll has taught me to hit ctrl-s frequently.
    Steven Bland

    Steven,
    In Encore, make sure the Menu Viewer and the Character panel are visible in their frames.
    Use the text tool to highlight the text you want format with a new/different font.
    Click in the font name drop down list (not the drop down arrow) and then use the arrow keys to move up or down the font list. As you do so, the highlighted text will change to show you how it will look as each font is selected by the arrow keys.

  • Safari's font selection is available but the actual font file is not in Mac

    I am having problem with view the correct font rendering on safari for mac for some of the Chinese text. I used to be able to fix it under 3.0.4 but for some reason, the same thing is happening again and I could not get rid of it.
    The situation is that under Safari 3.1, if I go to preferences->appearance->select (for standard font); I will see a font name "MingLiU" available. However, the actual file for that font is actually nowhere to be found on the computer. The reason why I need to find this file is that it is causing problem in letting safari to correctly display Chinese traditional text. I used to be able to go to font book and disable or remove the font but I went through font book and could not find such font file. I have also searched the entire hd and still could not find the font file.
    If you have some ideas about locating that file, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    I think I found something interesting. Safari 3.1 actually downloads the font web pages uses and save it somewhere NOT in the font book. I found out about this by using firefox, which relies on the font in font book, and by uninstalling safari 3.1 and, before visiting any cite, I checked the kind of fonts available and then after I visit the problem site and voila, the problematic font now appears in one of the selections for safari.
    I guess I will just have to stop using safari until I am allowed to control the kind of the fonts I can download.
    Thanks,

  • Selecting more then one item in ITunes

    Trying to clean up library and need to delete a number of files/items. I see that you can only command and click each individual file to select more then one but is there a easier way to do this? Want to be able to scroll over selection... then delete.
    Also when you use option show duplicates this also shows the original as well as the duplicate? Is there a way to ONLY show the duplicate file. So that to would be easier to delete?
    Thanks in advance.

    Shift click to select multiple items from the iTunes window. Select one item then hold down the shift key and select the another item.
    Show Duplicates will show both. iTunes doesn't know one from the other. No program does as far as I know. The Show Dups will show the dups - you have to decide which one is a dup. iTunes is showing you the tunes with the same names - the bit rate, kind, etc maybe different - you will need to decide which one to delete or rename.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes when I try to do anything with a certain 5 pages in document (even scroll past)

    I'm having issues with five pages within an InDesign document. 
    I was trying to export a document to PDF, but a couple of images weren't showing up on a couple of pages.  So I tried exporting to PDF in a couple of different ways to see if that would help.  It didn't.  Instead, InDesign started crashing constantly.  Turning Preflight off helped with that, and I was able to clear out any other potential problems (potentially problematic PDFs placed in the document, .eps images).  I tried exporting as .idml, but it created 4 kb files that couldn't be opened; I think InDesign was crashing before the file could finish exporting.  Now that I can get the document open for extended periods of time, I've tried exporting as a .idml file again, and it gets to 83% complete and doesn't finish.
    I started trying to export as PDF again, and by exporting parts of the document, I was able to narrow the problem down to pages 162-166.  I don't know what's different about these pages.  I have the PDF that I managed to export successfully before it started crashing constantly (the one with the missing images--and to clarify, these missing images aren't on any of the problem pages, so it appears to be an unrelated issue), and from looking at those pages, I can't see what the issue is.
    p. 162 - text and a table
    p. 163 - text and an image
    p. 164 - text
    p. 165 - text and an image
    p. 166 - text
    I can't even scroll past these pages.  Even in the Pages sidebar.  It crashes. Here is the crash log from when I tried to scroll past.  http://pastebin.com/B7ax4cAx
    Here's a crash report for when I try to export those pages to PDF:  http://pastebin.com/E6dA1igA
    I'm using CS5 on OS X 10.5.8.  When I started having these problems, I realized that I hadn't updated InDesign in awhile, so I updated to the latest.  I'm using 7.0.4 now. 

    Try reseting the preferences.
    or  delete Mark II folder from the location
    Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SING\Mark II
    Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II
    It will fix this..
    This problem is pretty definitely not SING, so deleting the Mark II folder is not going to help. (It wont't hurt, though!)
    Resetting prefrences is always a good thing to try.
    I suspect it is a corrupt story thread of some sort. Moving pages to a new document, exporting stories to IDML, copying the file and deleting pages until the problem goes away...those are things I would try.
