Funny fonts in some dialog boxes on Mac OS X 10.6.5

Hi
We only just started using Dreamweaver after installing it a little while ago. We have version CS5. When we go, for instance, to the Page Properties dialog box, the field labels seem to be using a corrupt font. I wonder, if that is the case, if it's possible to find out what font it might be so we can replace it. Or, check to see if it's missing. I've checked that the font in /LIbrary/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts are correct - and the default fonts are present in /System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts.
Any suggestions apprectiated!

Definitely a corrupt font without a doubt. Only thing you can do is open up Font Book and see if you can find the suspect. I doubt it came from an Adobe installation, looks to be a custom font, probably an "outline" version by the looks of it. You could always take a screenshot and crop the image and use What the Font so you don't have to go through each font.

No one have any idea as to what's going on with my issue?

Black background in some dialog boxes

I have Windows XP SP3 on my MacBook Pro.
One Program shows up with some dialogboxes
that have black backgound and some white text,
but not all text is white some text stays black.
And black text on blach ground is not good to read
Already tried the latest nvidia driver from nvidia,
but the dialog stays black.
Is there a solution for this problem somewhere?

The black background just appears on the MacBook dialog-boxes
of this program, under bootcamp or under parallels.
Here is a demo of this program:
<http://www.orca-software.com/content/orca/index-dateien/data/Projekt1/Item830/F orm1321.htm>
On several other PCs it works fine.
Is there somebody who also had black backgrounds in dialog-boxes?

Inconsistent dialog boxes in Mac OS X Lion

Why do the dialog boxes have two different looks? For example in import PDF you see standard Lion buttons with slightly rounded corners and in contact sheet II they are completely square. That kind of inconsistency makes the app look ugly and cheap. Yes I know it works, but a nice consistent interface makes it much more fun to work with on a daily basis. Also as it is now the dark interface is harder to read than old Ps or Lightroom.

Scripts (like contact sheet) use a different UI toolkit from the main application. The same goes for some of the plugins.
Yes, we want to make it more consistent, but there's only so much time between versions...

How do i make program wait for user input in some dialog box?

basicly function public UserData getUserData()
displays window and returns a value when somebody has pressed OK in JFrame. How?

Extend from JDialog instead of JFrame and it'll give you the waiting that you need.
To use a JFrame is a little more involved.
I had to the other day also. I wanted to have a dialog that would be both a dialog and a JFrame. Reason: when the app started up, I wanted to get some data from it (and have it appear in the task bar for normal application selection), and also wanted the app to call the same window when running but as a dialog (ie: no extra task bar icon). However only the JDialog stopped the calling thread for the dialog.
To get the JFrame to do the same, I invoked a thread and piled all of the logic into that, and when the user did all that I wanted them to, closed the Frame and released the thread with all of the statefull stuff that I wanted.
Worked a treat.

Dialog boxes in mac os x

Is there any way to make the default (pulsating/glowing) button be selected as default? so If i were to press spacebar, it would acknowledge that button. I know return works but been used to using the spacebar on the PC plus, the spacebar is closer to the left side too.
For example, if a dialogbox has Cancel and OK, the first one(cancel is selected) and pressing space will "cancel" it
Thanks for any help in advance!

Not that I know of, but if you go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and at the bottom of the window choose "Full keyboard access all controls. You'll be able to tab from button to button and from field to field in browsers and other windows. In some instances the spacebar will just cancel the operation.

Acrobat Reader DC - Bug with Dialog Boxes Containing Images?

Hi all -
Been testing Reader DC. Only took a couple of minutes to adjust to the new interface; pretty slick and intuitive.
Noticed a potential issue that I wanted to warn/share/prob solve with the community.
I was putting Reader DC through it's paces with a XFA PDF that has some dialog boxes, some of which even had images in them. (Thanks again to BR001.)
The dialog boxes with images look great on Acrobat & Reader 9/10/11 (WIN & MAC) - images are clear; no pixelation.
Reader DC on MAC appears to be fine - resolution looks the same.
But Reader DC on WIN - the images are now pixelated. Especially around the edges, characters/numbers, etc. You can tell something is "off" with the image.
A few simple side-by-side tests can be seen at links below. Reader DC is on left; Acrobat 9 (9.5.5) is on right.

Bug in Reader DC for Windows? Not sure what else the cause could be...
Anyone having their dialog boxes with images open in Reader DC for Windows WITHOUT the pixelation?
FYI/thoughts/ideas/suggestions/confirmations? Hmmm.....

Little easier; picture's worth a thousand; etc.

Has anyone else seen this dialog box graphical phenomenon?

Hi,
I'm running 10.5.4 on a MacBook Pro (4,1) and have noticed a strange effect on some dialog boxes in Leopard - darker grey blocks appear around text, controls and buttons within the dialog box. The effect occurs on both the MacBook Pro display and the Cinema Display it is connected to.
See the following links for examples:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2732289268
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735071703
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2738394376
So far it appears in dialog boxes from Entourage, Photoshop & Illustrator (both CS2 & CS3) and iTunes. I initially thought it was only occuring in PowerPC apps running under Rosetta but iTunes is a native Intel app.
Not all dialog boxes are affected - it doesn't appear in Safari, for example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jammylammy/2735078907
The boxes are still perfectly usable and it doesn't appear to be a monitor brightness issue as it occurs whatever the brightness setting. I wondered if it was related to the Nvidia graphics card issue (the Macbook Pro is fitted with a GeForce 8600M GT 512MB graphics card) but haven't been able to find any mention of this on these forums or through a wider Google search.
Has anyone else come across this strange phenomenon?
Thanks!
John

Isn't this just a situation where some apps' code is written differently than others?
It may well be yes. After more searching I found a similar thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7638343&#7638343
It may well be something as simple as Apple changing the default background colour for dialog boxes slightly. What puzzles me about that explanation is that the 'effect' occurs in iTunes 7.7 which was released just weeks ago - whereas Leopard's been out in the wild since last October.

Having a dialog box problem in InDesign CC

The dialog boxes on my just downloaded version of InDesign CC look like Windows dialog boxes, not Mac ones (although Save and Save As do appear as normal OSX design). Obviously I am on a Mac and don't want a partial Mac version of InDesign. My previous versions, including most recently CS6, have not had this problem. Suggestions?

Hi there. I don't have anything to help you but I am curious about something you have done that I was told was not possible. I am VERY new to this forum and I wanted to upload an image to one of my posts. However, I couldn't see a way of doing it.
Thankfully, someone pointed out to me that I had to use Workspaces and gave me a link to the instructions. So in my post, there is only a link, and the reader has to click on it, wait for Workspaces to load etc. I found this very annoying and weird given than most forums allow users to upload simple files.
I came across your post and you have managed to include the actual images in your post! This is great. It is instant feedback for those who are trying to help you.
So please, can you tell me how you achieved this without having to go through Workspaces?
I would love to know.
Thanks in advance.

Ashwini,
I don't understand what your exact problem is, but i can give you some feedback on the VI:
1) It is good to include timing into loops. But your comment implies, that you do not use timing in loops which are not connected to UI-controls. This is bad. You should always include timing into loops except if you want something (which has to be finit in execution!) to execute as fast as possible.
2) Your timing is 1s. This is far too long for proper interaction. Tests showed, that delays about some 100ms lead to misusage of the application. So please lower the time to something around 100-250 ms.
3) The VI checks "MR" against 4 and then decides if it should continue in the loop or to show the dialog. This is not good since the comparison is only done once in the beginning.
4) Never use the "run continuous" button!
hope this helps,

Changing dialog box fonts

Hi all,
I've recently started a new job where the computer (mac Pro4 OS X 10.6.8) I'm using was being used by someone else before I started. When I open Dreamweaver (CS4 already installed when I got here) all of the dialog boxes have a strange block font which is hard to read and in some cases, cut off and I can't read what certain fields are supposed to be.
I tried fooling around with the preferences in dreamweaver and I reset all settings to default in dreamweaver, but nothing I tried made a difference.
Below is a screen shot of what I'm trying to explain. You can see the dark block font describing what each field is. All of the dialog boxes and properties panels are like this. How do I change this to something like arial or helvetica or anything that's easier to read than what's showing?

Thanks for the help. I've been working on cleaning up the font book for a while. I got rid of the duplicates and all of the fonts with red "x's". I restarted the computer and it hasn't changed.
Then I went through all of the fonts and deleted all of the fonts that looked similar. It's still there. I probably just haven't found the right font, but I appreciate your help.
You can see it here on the opening credits too......so strange.

While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Imac Snow Leopard .....While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Thanks again baltwo,
Thank you all very much,
Strangely enough even though I had gotten the " Install failed....Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer....The install could not copy the necessary support files" I had left it on the screen and left the room for awhile. I walked back into my computer room a few minutes ago and the window on the screen stated that the SL OS 10.6.4 had successfully installed. I am now very carefully checking things out to make sure the fonts are where they should be. With the exception of some updating it appears all may be well.
PS. Below is a note I was writing to Kurt (also assisting me) to try and detail what had happened. Added it in case it could be of any value to you
Kurt,
Thank you for response. following is series of events to my best recollection.
I would typically not have been this stupid/ignorant but was doing this in a hurry with someone asking me questions...wasn't paying attn. to what I was doing
• downloaded new fonts
• opened downloaded fonts, clicked font icons to open and install them.
• typed "fonts" in spotlight (with the intention of moving new fonts into font folder)The Spotlight results window revealed 5 or 6 font folders. I ignorantly started to try a clean up by installing all fonts into a single folder (not thinking about system fonts)
Sometimes when you are moving a folder the window you moved it from will jump around..well this occurred and I mistakenly released the folder on the desk top. This caused a copy to be made. After some investigation I realized it was a copy of the required system fonts that were still located in the original "spotlight results" window.
• I attempted to delete the copy..when I did an administrator password box appeared I entered the password and the result was both system font folders were deleted (the original & the desk top copy I erroneously made)
• Now windows open but are blank with sometimes faded mini sized icons. If I click one of the mini icons i get a new blank window. I am unable to give any instruction, have total blank menus, dialog boxes, etc.
I can open the some of the items that have icons in the apple dock at bottom of page in the

Find Font dialog box appears when opening files

This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.
Mac OS 10.5.5
CS3 Illustrator 13.0.2
Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7
Thanks

I realise this is an old thread but recently experienced this problem and found a solution that worked for me.
MacBook Pro
OS X 10.8.2
Illustrator CS6
FYI, my case is slightly different from the OP's: Illustrator was exhibiting this behaviour with only one of my files so I guessed that the problem might be with that specific file. The Find Font dialog box would appear every time the file was opened, even though it showed that all the necessary fonts were present. I didn't have admin rights for that machine and couldn't delete any preference files. So, I tried creating a new .ai file, copying everything over and saving it with a new name. No more dialog box after that.
Hope this helps.

Problem with finishing install of Flash Player on a Mac. When finishing by entering the requested password, the dialog box jiggles as if the p/w is invalid. But it works in the Adobe site.

I am trying to install Flash player on my Mac. All the steps are working as they should, until the point where I am asked to enter my password. I do this, and the dialog box jiggles as through the p/w were invalid. However, it works to sign in to the Adobe site. I just changed it to be sure and checked again.

There is no password required to download or install the Flash Player. Chances are your Mac is requiring you to enter its password to allow the installation to occur.

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.
