Grapher font conflict

Whenever I open the application "Grapher", I get the following error:
Font Conflict
Several characters cannot be displayed correctly because of a conflict with the font "Symbol".
I have the symbol font, but I don't know how to resolve this conflict. If the font is corrupted or something, where do I get a non-corrupted replacement?
The program seems to work fine, but I'm tired of getting this warning each time I open it.
Thanks.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for the help, but it didn't help. I went to Font Book and found that there was a problem with a duplicate Symbol Font. I deleted the one called symbol.dfont. Now there's no conflicts with my symbol font (it's got a nice green check!), but I get the same error with Grapher.
I did a Google search and found something about Grapher giving an incorrect error message because of something with the Times font, so I validated that in Font Book also and found that there was a duplicate font there too, so I deleted that too.
I trashed my fontbook.plist file and restarted. Still getting the error message.
Any other ideas?

  • Mail/Web possible font conflict?

    Having trouble with getting Mail to look right. There are large spaces between the lines in the top portion containing From, Subject, Date, To, etc. On some websites this space also occurs or the type lays on top of each other. In iTunes the lists are spread apart or when viewing songs the songs won't show up until you run the mouse over them.
    Running Lion  10.7.3
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    24" Monitor

    This may happen if you install and/or delete fonts or perhaps a font conflict.
    Check fonts for display in both Mail.app and Safari, this is in preferences.
    Also open Font Book and see whether you have duplicated fonts, this may happen if you install MS Office, and choose to also install fonts, some MS fonts are installed by Mac OS installer, and some of those installed by Office may be in fact older than those in Mac OS installer. Duplicated fonts are marked by a yellow point. If so, deactivate or even remove them.
    Sometimes it is useful to clean font cache, especially after deleting/installing fonts. You may use a free app like Onyx, download the version for Lion, not another.

  • CS6 font conflict

    I just upgraded to CS6 -- In Design, Photoshop and Illustrator. I am having font issues and problems I didn't have with CS6. Anyone have any Ideas how to remedy this? I have Mac/OSX10.6.8. Font Book 2.2.2 (163.2)

    And what font conflicts specifically? Do fonts not show up? Do fonts appear under wroing names and groupings? You need to explain better.

  • Font Conflict

    I just installed Tiger (10.4.9) and am now having font conflicts. I purchased fonts from fontdiner.com and 8 of the 12 fonts are now "in conflict" with system fonts. Nothing else has changed but the installation of Tiger.
    Hope someone can help me. The fonts in question were used in freelance work and I'll need them again soon.
    Thanks.

    Hi stubbie7, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I find mine here...
    /Library/Fonts/Futura.dfont
    But some APPs keep them or references to them like here...
    /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/FuturaCondensedExtraBold.ps
    Does FontBook or FontExploereX show what you're looking for?

  • Lion OS and possible font conflicts

    I wish to upgrade to the new Lion OS, but would like to know if the new OS Lion has the same font conflicts that Snow Leopard had with Helvetica and ITC Garamond Type 1 fonts?
    Thanks

    It isn't released yet, so no one knows.  Also many font conflicts in 10.6 are resolved with the font update for 10.6.7:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
    Others, specific to non-updated applications may not be fixed.  Perhaps it might be best if you asked in your specific application forum if the conflicts people have had are fixed in 10.6.7 first.  Or wait until 10.7's release and find out what the case may be.  Some point next month it should be released.  And yes, according to the specs, it looks like you'll need to purchase 10.6, and apply either the 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 combo followed by the font update, and then determine if you are ready for 10.7.  But that may change once it is released in July.
    If you desire a direct upgrade path, please post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • MacBook Pro running slow if at all and font conflicts

    My MacBook Pro is really not responding and I keep getting pop ups that say there is a conflict with a font file.  I was just on it on Sunday morning and it worked just fine.  Later that evening these font conflicts appeared, but I hadn't done anything crazy for them to pop up.  Please help..

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Problems With User Account? Try Resolving Font Conflicts!

    After installing SL as an upgrade, one of my user accounts could not install software, switch to the other account, or do anything where the system would ask for the account password.
    I tried resolving this by doing several things like remove all other language keyboards, deleting all files in the user/library/preferences folder, removing the user/lib/pref/byhost files, and the standard repair permisssions, etc.
    I then remembered a message which said something about font conflict when first logging into that user account after the SL upgrade.
    So, I went into Font Book and noticed that most of the fonts in the user category had the yellow triangle indicating duplicate copies of those fonts.
    I resolved it by deleting all fonts in the user/library/font file. Those fonts were available in the computer anyway so I hope I'm not missing anything. Even still, a missing font is better than the alternative of not being able to install software and make other admin changes from the account.
    I hope this helps.

    I have a similar issue with both my user accounts.
    Spent about 3 hours with Apple customer support and still have the issue with installing updates and everything requiering authentication.
    I noticed no conflict message as you did though...

  • Keep Getting Font Conflicts Pop-up... Suitcase?

    Hello all.
    Since this morning, my office G5 keeps popping up these small dialog boxes with the OK button about FONT conflicts:
    Suitcase
    From Suitcase
    There was a conflict when attempting to activate the font Verdana in the suitcase Verdana for this document. Please close the document and resolve the conflict in the Suitcase application.
    It applies the same to the other font, Tahoma, same error message.
    I have tried to DEACTIVATE these two fonts inside Suitcase, and these pop-up error messages only happen in MS Entourage
    It is "no big deal", but the popping up is rather annoying and irritating, 'cause every email read or click these pop-ups will appear, and I have to click OK to close them
    Thanks and cheers

    these pop-up error messages only happen
    in MS Entourage

  • Font Availability/Possible Font Conflict Problem

    I have InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP SP3 machine with the following problem: I have a document I am reprinting for one of my clients and it uses Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold font. It seems that this font comes into conflict, probably due to its name, with Helvetica Neue Bold. If I delete the latter from the Windows\Fonts folder, then in all other Windows programs, the Condensed Bold font shows up. However, *it does not* show up in InDesign CS3. Furthermore, the latter thinks it still has access to the Bold font even after it has been removed from the Windows\Fonts folder. I assume this may be due to InDesign CS3 accessing fonts from elsewhere, but there is nothing in the "Fonts" folder for the main InDesign program folder. I would be very happy is someone can tell me what exactly is causing this font conflict problem, and how I can work around it.  But mainly, I need to know where InDesign informs the user about where it looks for fonts (I can't find anything like the specification in Distiller that restricts where it looks for Windows fonts). Any help would be *most* appreciated, as I need to get this out in the next two days and must leave town early Wednesday.

    Fonts for Indesign can be stored in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Fonts and they will only be accessible by Indesign.  I've had problems with different versions of Helvetica too, but only when they were from slightly different families, or a mixture of types.  Now I've got the whole set it works fine, you may have to experiment with your mix of fonts.  Bear in mind too that fonts display differently in the Indesign font list than they do in Word for example.

  • System fonts conflict

    Hi there, I own an AD agency with a few of these leopards running... I had 2 major issues:
    1. adobe virtual printer pausing and unable to distill a PDF file out of word.
    2. a terrible font conflict due to the overlapping presence of the Helvetica Neue in the system folder and in Suitcase Fusion where the "System Font ovverride" option is checked...
    Spent the whole day struggling would be great to share with someone.

    I share your pain, but haven't found a solution.
    I have a design firm. I’ve installed Leopard on my Macbook Pro 17 without incident, as a pretrial before installing it on my working studio machines.
    It appears that Leopard now includes Helvetica Neue and Helvetica (not so Neue) in the primary system fonts folder. The addition of Helv Neue to this folder is new with Leopard.
    These fonts are now triggering eleven conflict message windows (one for each flavor of font) when Font Agent Pro is used to fire up the Adobe versions of these fonts (upon which I rely heavily in my design business). These warnings have to be closed one by one. Once my Adobe fonts are loaded, there are all kinds of anomalies in the Apple apps that use these fonts, including Safari, Mail many widgets, iCal and so on.
    Any attempt to remove these fonts from the system folder results in their automatically being replaced. It’s as though the computer is telling me that “resistance is futile”.
    We have hundreds of documents where Helvetica Neue or Helvetica are part of the design. Leopard will be a non starter in the design shop if we can’t beat this. I thought Apple knew they had a strong presence in the design industry. This is bone-headed planning on their part!

  • Grapher 2.0 Font conflict

    Hi Everyone,
    In a school lab setting Grapher is giving us an error message at launch saying that there is a conflict with the symbol font. When you try to type a open "(" or close ")" the text is garbled on the screen and looks like boxes. This is working on mostly iMac computers with Mac OS 10.5.7 and Grapher 2.0 (2.0). The machines are tied to an XServe for roaming profiles but you can also log into the local lab machine with a generic student log in directly to the machine and not to the server. I'm not sure if this conflict occurs when students use their remote log in. The conflict definitely occurs when using the generic student log in.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Is there a Windows machine on the network? It might be a conflict with non-Unicode symbols fonts used by them.

  • Graph Fonts Smudge in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0

    Hi All,
    You might have noticed, we had issues with fonts in the Axis Labels Orientation of all graphs in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 version, specially when we make the X-axis label as 30/45/60 degree. Then we added that extra line <EmbedFonts>true</EmbedFonts> to the instanceconfig.XML file to bring it right.
    Now presently we have upgraded to latest version of OBIEE i.e. 11.1.1.7.0 and we heard most of the bugs have been fixed in this release even oracle says the above bug has been fixed. But we could see the font looks worst (not readable) than the previous versions even in the Axis label orientation (30 or 45 or 60 degrees) in the latest release. Either we add or don't add that extra line in the config file, it does not affect anything on the graphs.
    Please suggest if anyone has any idea on the same how to resolve the issues as client complains a lot about the same.
    Thank You,
    BK.

  • FONT CONFLICTS

    I just upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard.
    Problem is I'm getting conflicts on fonts I really need to keep avalable for CS5 - namely Helvetica Neue. Font Book says the fonts are duplicates of ones used by the system. If I click 'resolve' I can't access the fonts in any of my CS5 software packages. If I try to reactivate the fonts I just get the yellow warning triangles again.
    Why on earth does Snow Leopard use Helvetica Neue in the first place? and where is it used? can it be changed?
    Does anyone know do I get around this?
    Please help anyone?

    Long time known issue, going back to at least Panther. The only solution is to get Apple's versions of Helvetica and Helvetica Neue out of the System folder. See section 5 of Font Management in OS X.
    The link, or one of the links above directs you to my personal web site. While the information is free, it does ask for a contribution. As such, I am required by Apple's rules for these discussions to include the following disclaimer.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
    Edit: I must be typing slow today.

  • Font conflicts + fontbook

    i've just installed OS X 4.6 and now have a huge number of fonts that will not load because they "conflict" with fonts in my system folder. i've removed excess fonts from the system font folder and deleted the cache folders as recommended on the extensis suitcase site but this does not help. is it my version of suitcase? (10.2.1) or is there something else i can do to resolve these conflicts?
    also, is it possible to just use the fontbook that comes with OX X to manage my fonts? (i have a few hundred fonts - don't know if this system is robust enough)

    Thank you, Kappy and Tom:
    I tried the Preview Repertoire command and it showed that the fonts did, indeed, have the full Latin complement of characters. It's just that only the Cyrillic/Hebrew/Arabic/Gujarati/Mandarin selections are showing up in some fonts' preview panes: particularly those fonts with the suffix "Pro" in the title (Myriad Pro, and so on).
    How strange.
