Group and combine loose fonts into Families?

So I've been using Font Book to organize about 7,000 fonts, but I find it does not group some font families into groups i.e AbsaraSans has 33 weights to It but they are all shown to be individual fonts, is there anything I can do about this to better organize my fonts?

  • Read all the groups and the OU's into my code

    dears
    i want to read all the group names that are under a certain Organization Unit into my code
    how to achevie this
    for example
    a as string []
    a = readAllGroups()
    Help please?!

    I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
    I've solved it in the following manner(s):
    1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
    2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
    3) Perform any software updates
    I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
    Enjoy.

  • OSB call multiple Business Services and combine the responses into one

    Dear All,
    I am new to OSB and I have a use case that I need to solve. I have 3 web services and I imported their WSDLs into OSB and created 3 Business Services that goes with each WSDL. The scenario is like this.
    Business Service 1: takes an input value as [Region] and returns a list of employee names.
    Business Service 2: takes the list of employee names and returns the list of employee names with their job profile
    Business Service 3: takes the list of employee names with their job profile and returns their contact information.
    I need to return the result of Business Service 3 to the consumer. The consumer basically need to call the Proxy service with [Region] as the input value and the result should be the output of above Business service 3.
    As I mentioned, I have WSDL for all the 3 Business Services, but, I do not have the WSDL for the Proxy Service. The Business Service WSDLs are all different and they do not match.
    My question is it possible to achieve the above result without having a concrete WSDL for Proxy Service? Also, how can I go about solving this use case. I have gone through some articles that talk about Split-Join, and am really lost.
    I really appreciate your kind reply on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Syama

    You have multiple options:
    1. Create a WSDL which has input similar to input of WS1 (only Region as input) and an output similar to output of WS3.
    Create Proxy Service based on this WSDL. Then call all the thee business services one after the other and doing transformations/assigns as needed after each call. Finally map the result of BS3 to the similar output of your new WSDL on which the Proxy service is based.
    2. Create an Any XML type of web service. Create a schema which has two elements, one for input and one for output. Input containing only Region and output containing all the details. All consumers need to send request according to input defined in schema and expect output defined in schema. Its similar to creating the WSDL but can be used in case your consumer do not want to call a Web Service but want to call an XML API over HTTP. Rest will be same as option 1.
    Split join is needed to make calls in parallel, it wont be usable in your use case unless you expect a list og regions in the same request for each of which you need to gather same information by calling three services.

  • Importing custom fonts into iPhone apps - HELP?!

    Hey guys, new to these forums. Just wondering if somebody could answer a few questions regarding successfully importing and using custom fonts into iPhone applications. As shown here,

    some have shown success in doing just that. To those who have done it, what i wanted to simply ask is:
    What type of subclass did you put the code in? Mines is a UIView subclass but doesnt work.
    What kind of interface and with what controls are you using? I am simply making a UIView with the code in order to test to see if it works and test other properties and customizable functions of the custom fonts. It doesnt work.
    What specific property declarations must be in the .h file? I have none and it doesnt work.
    Note that when I say it doesnt work, it actually compiles without errors, but when I build and go I just get a blank grey screen.
    What say you?

    To use Stanza you need Stanza's desktop client in order to get your books onto the iPhone. If you have an account with eReader.com, you can upload personal content to your bookshelf and transfer them to eReader on your iPhone in the same way you do books purchased from eReader's website. Keep in mind that neither will work with MobiPocket books that are DRM protected. Stanza will work with non-DRM formatted books (including Mobi's format), but nothing which has DRM protection. I have both and use Stanza for anything without DRM protection, and eReader for books Palm formatted books with DRM protection.

  • Installing fonts into library?

    I have been having issues with adding some fonts to my archive, and there doesn't seem to be any application that I can use to install them. I would appreciate any help I can get because my typography is really lacking.

    Separately, just open Font Book and drag your fonts into the window. Also, if you double click the font you get a window saying something like "do you want to install this font?" Then click on the button.
    Also, check out the help on font library in the finder.

  • Apple ID's, iPods and combining accounts

    Recently bought a new Mac Mini. When I plugged in my iPod it said that it couldn't transfer my apps from iTunes because it didn't recognize the iPod, so I signed in. A few days later I updated my iTunes old e-mail address to my Apple ID, because I no longer use that old e-mail address. I got a confirmation that said it was changed successfully. I thought that was the end of it but then around a week later it said the same thing (that it couldn't transfer my apps from iTunes because it didn't recognize the iPod). I went round and round trying to fix it, and finally ended up calling Apple. They said that my iPod wants to log in to my Apple ID account but it can't because iTunes doesn't recognize Apple ID's. This surprised me. So now, apparently, I have two accounts for iTunes (my old one, which I guess didn't change after all, and my Apple ID account, which Apple claims I can't use). I'd like to combine them into one. Again, according to Apple you cannot do this but that doesn't sound right and I'm hoping that I just talked to a new iTunes phone rep. I mean, why would Apple not allow us to use our Apple ID's and combine two accounts into one account? This doesn't sound right to me.
    If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE post and let me know. I'll try anything...

    The AppleID and iTunes Store account are one and the same.
    Item #1 on the page I linked:
    An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources that need you to identify yourself. Examples of places where you can use your Apple ID:
    + Apple Online Store
    + iTunes Store
    + Concierge (for appointments at Genius Bar)
    + Apple Online Support (apple.com/support)
    + iChat
    + iPhoto and Aperture Purchases
    + iWork Publishing (publish.iwork.com)
    + MobileMe
    And as for merging, andser was further down the page:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
    Sorry, but this is not possible at this time via our online tools. You can speak with an AppleCare representative, who can help you consolidate your registered Apple products. They can also help register your iPods, iPhones, or Mac computers under a single Apple ID.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • Reinstalling OSX10.4 and Indesign looses MathType fonts

    I have been using MathType to create formulas.  First I copy from MathType into Illustrator, then proceed to copy from illustrator and paste into Indesign.  This procedure has worked well, until I needed to reinstall my OS system.  After reinstalling OS10.4, my Indesign docs have replaced some fonts with boxes.  I have reinstalled CS3 and MathType 6.0 with no solution to this problem.  I still get boxes for certain fonts (like MT extra).  I do not know how to fix this, any light on this problem would be greatly appreciated.  I have several hundred pages of documents that have been affected in this bad way.

    Yes, you just drag them where you want them. But from your described work path, you actually want the fonts to be available in MathType, in Illustrator, AND in Indesign, so I wouldn't put them in the Indesign folder -- that makes them only available to Indesign. MathType is a real bear for fonts, because it's version of Symbol and Adobe's version of Symbol don't get along, which has been a pain-in-the-tush for me. I suspect the root cause is that MathType mostly is interested in working smoothly with Microsoft Word, and Indesign is a lesser concern, and you know Microsoft is going to use their own proprietary version of the Symbol font. (The problem characters are the large "fences" for putting brackets and parens around equations, and some unusual Greek characters like the upside-down capital Delta. These often show up onscreen but don't print.)
    What I would do is after you reinstall OSX 10.4, reinstall the MathType fonts, particularly Symbol and MT Extra. Be aware that the CS4 applications keep their own version of Symbol that they rely on hidden in an Adobe folder, and I've found that it you remove it and replace it with the MathType one, horrible things can happen.
    For a font manager, I use FontExplorer from Linotype, which is a freebie and works very well. It doesn't "auto-activate" fonts in CS4, but you do get a list of missing fonts when you open a document, and you can toggle over to Font Explorer and open them. If you've created font groups by project, you can turn them on with one click. When you return to your CS4 app, it'll work.
    FontExplorer also has several nice utilities -- one that strips the System folder of all fonts not installed by OSX, so you can move spurious fonts from Microsoft and various other programs to Font Explorer's folders, which makes it easy to turn them off when you don't want them, and keep your font menus from being three miles long. And another utility that deletes font "caches" in applications, which you'll want to do after you've messed about with the various forms of Symbol and MT Extra, so that your CS4 applications don't remember a version of the font that's no longer there.

  • When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

    Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

    I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

  • When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

    When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

    Hi Janedance1,
    If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
    My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
    Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
    So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
    I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks.
    This answers 1/2 of my question.
    The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
    But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
    The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
    I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
    I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
    I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

    Hi,
    When you maintain condition record that time system bring unit of measurement from material master and curancy from sales organization in which you created material.
    Now in your customized table case, there is sales organization but not any material so it is not bringing it default  as you don't have material.
    So in this case you have to maintain it manually

  • Can't drag and drop individual contact into group?

    I upgraded from SL to Lion. In the address books, I still have the individual contacts as well as groups. However, when I add new individual contacts and then drag them into a pre-existing group, it doesn't work. In fact, I can't figure out how to add new contacts to the groups. When I try to great a new group, it gives it the name "untitled" and I can't figure out how to change it or delete it (the delete option is greyed out in the edit menu).
    Can anyone help?
    Also, is there a way of restoring the three pane view instead of the present two pane view?
    Thanks!

    I need an answer to this, too! There seems to be no way to move contacts around unless you start new groups!
    HELP! I'm beginning to be sorry I switched to Lion...
