Good free fonts for DTP

Hi,
I'm searching for some good and free fonts for Desktop Publishing purposes.
I would like to find an appealing serif font and some fonts I could use for headlines (sans serif).
Any player in this field could give me some tips (not only font names, also where to search first)? Most free font databases are full of comic etc. fonts.
Thanks in advantage,
Ford Prefect

Hi,
you're right, they are really good fonts. But there are only few free ones, and I don't have money to buy from the others.
I would like to find some little bit more non-standard, exquisite, yet serious fonts..
Any other ideas?

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution? I'm using it for a taser sequence.
Thanks!

Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

What is a good free substitute for Adobe Flash Player? Apple will not download this but I need it for several things I want to do?

What is a good "free" substitute for Adobe Flash Player? I need this for photos to be developed.

You cannot substitute another app for Flash because it is proprietary technology. Apple is adamant about keeping Flash out of their phones and tablets, hence why you will not find it in the App Store. If you want to be able to use Flash on-the-go, consider purchasing an Android device.
Doesn't matter at this point. Android 4.0.3 is the last OS he'll have if he wants flash. Adobe has already stopped development for their mobile flash player.

More (free) fonts for Mac OS X available?

Hi,
I find the actual collection of fonts available by default in Mac OS X a little bit too restrictive for some project I want to do.
I'd like to know if there is somewhere I can fnd free (or relatively cheap) fonts for Mac OS X to add to my collection. Any idea?
Thanks

Whats a GOOD (free) cms for os x?

hello
i dev sites, i write from the bottom up code, html, css, JS. i dont use any apps such as dreamweaver or whatever. i know what im doing, i even get paid for it, i can look at code like most can read a book.
however, maintenance at sites via staright code gets a little old. i was thinking that some kinda good CMS app that does NOT lob in extrneous code would be cool, mostly just text or link changes in html, occasional cms changes. it would great to be able to see the framework of a page but not completely necc.
i did find cssedit, for css (really?), have not taken it for a test drive yet, it looks good, something similar for htm AND or JS would be great.
thanks
best

anyone have any suggestions?

If you are looking for a fantastic, inexpensive, lightweight code editor:
Coda: http://www.panic.com/coda/
If you are looking for a "CMS" which means software that runs on your web server to give you a web browser based administration panel for the site to edit templates and content, then dynamically blends that data with presentation for the front end of the site, and you want one that runs on an an OS X server, consider:
Textpattern: http://www.textpattern.com/ (free)
ExpressionEngine: http://expressionengine.com/ (commercial)
I've been hand coding HTML since Mosaic in 1993. I've licensed Dreamweaver all along, but it's very heavy. I like Coda for fast simple hand management of open source sites where I don't need a full IDE.

Free fonts for students

I'm looking for higher quality free font sites for students to practice with. Is anyone aware of any?
Thanks.

Any of Jos Buivenga's fonts... Smeltery... a few others. Aside from that, you should simply set aside an afternoon to sift through MyFonts. Many of the commercial vendors eitehr offer demo versions of their fonts with only the basic glyphs, a free weight of their font packages or have free fonts that are not listed there. You'll simply have to do some digging. Font designers are quite elusive and many are just a one man show with small websites that are hard to find. And of course also check DaFont. 90% of those free fonts are crap of course, but there are a few quite usable ones there, still.

Need Suggestions For GOOD Free Ringtone App

Before the software update, I used Mabilo without any problems. Now, it doesn't work. So I'm searching for an app that is just as good, if not better than Mabilo. Any suggestions??

As previous post mentioned ZEDGE is a good free app for tones in addition to wallpapers. However the best solution might just be to put your own music on the phone through Windows Media Player (or whatever you use) and use RINGDROID to make your own
Good Luck

I don't know of any that do exactly that, but I use Pinger. You can even make free wifi calls trough them. Call quality is as good, if not better, than Skype too.

What are good maintenance apps for Mac mini

What is a good free app for the Mac mini for maintenance?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of problems with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. Cleaning caches is not an end in itself.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.
