Handwriting Dakota Font Can't Be Used in Mail

For years I've been able to use "Handwriting Dakota" font in mail. Now whenever I select it at the top of the New Message form the font immediately reverts to "Helvetica 14" (my default font - set in Preferences) when I type the first letter. This seems to be a new problem since 10.8.2.
I can get "Handwriting Dakota" and use it by setting it as my default font in Mail Preferences, but this is an unwieldy process that isn't required for any other fonts I know of. What's the problem? Am I missing something?

Although old post, I wanted to reply with my working solution for others who experienced similar problems.
Last week, while everyone else was upgrading to OS X X, Maverick, I was upgrading from OS 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.8 Mounatin Lion.
In attempting to use Handwriting - Dakota font, I experienced the same restriction. Although available in TextEdit, Word, and Pages, for some strange reason I could not change my font in Mail.
My work-around was to compose in TextEdit and copy & paste the text into the Mail email/message. The change holds.

Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app.

Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app on my iPad Mini. The mail app opens and updates, however the screen does not respond to anything. Am rather stuck as to what to do. This is the Mail App that comes with the iPad Mini.
I have tried to turn the iPad On/Off all to no avail. I don't really want to reset my iPad as this will cause more trouble than it is worth and will ultimately update the iPad to iOS 8.1.1 anyway. Do any of you have any suggestions that don't involve resetting the iPad ?
Thanks All

Before you delete your mail accounts, try giving your iPad a reset and force closing the mail app. It may clear up the glitch before you remove and add your info again
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
If those don't fix it then try to remove and put your info back in.

Can't use Handwriting - Dakota font

I'm using a French system and the "On the Road" theme uses the font Handwriting - Dakota. The problem is that I can't type an apostrophe (')! Instead, when I do I get an accented i (ì) which makes the whole thing quite useless! LIkewise, I get all sort of strange characters when I type accented characters.
HELP!
iMac G5 17 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks G but Tom is right. I can't use the font at all because the accented characters don't work and I obviously can't use another font just for them.
And I can understand the 16$ price tag argument but still, I just can't see how Apple's QA let that by. I mean, even English writers sometimes use accented characters. This is a bug. What I don't know however is if Apple is really responsible for it since the font could have been used under licensing agreements from another company.
The thing that puzzles me most is that all the characters are showing in the Character Palette, they just can't be inserted! Maybe there is a utility somewhere that can fix or edit the unicode assignment of the glyphs within the font file.

Why can't I use my mails after updating to ios6

After updating to ios6 I can't get or send mails. How can I i fix it?

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

Vietnames Fonts can't be used in Illustrator & Photoshop CS5!

Hello, everybody here!
I am using AI CS5 and PS CS5. Now I would like to design a leaflet which includes Vietnamese Words. I am very sure I can use only specifice fonts as Vietnamese such as Arial, Time New Romans, etc. I, however, can't use other fonts that are in different characters beside those. What must I do to solve it? Is there a helpful program that can be installed to make Vietnames work in AI CS5?
Any ideas and help will be appriciated.
Thanks a lot and please help...
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
LUCK

The fonts I mentioned above should have the Vietmanese in them. Check your font utility (Character Map) to see where they are. Scroll down the chart of characters until you see the one you want; then you will need to note the "unicode" number at the bottom left and type that sequence exactly to duplicate the selected character. A hard and tedious workaround. You can also copy and paste the characters, especially if they are already on your page.
Only works with VNI Times, Arial, Verdana, and Tahoma as noted in my earlier post. These worked in my Photoshop (just tested) using the select-copy in Character Map and pasting in the text window. It ought to work in Illustrator or InDesign as well
I hope you do not have a lot to say. Probably you can hire a translator to set and proof your text. If you get it set and it is approved, you can convert the text to outlines so that you do not have a bunch of font problems with your printer.
Sorry.

Can't Send Using Yahoo Mail Plus Account

I'm a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber and am having problems sending mail with the Apple iPhone. I only have this problem with my Yahoo Mail Plus account. A second (free) Yahoo account works fine, as does a GMail account.
Other Yahoo Mail Plus users are reporting the same issue:

and
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmTc9jW..OVhgxNaeShTn4ojzKIX?qid=20 070705064711AAuaye0
My problem is that when I send an e-mail on my Yahoo Mail Plus account, it is not received by the recipient, nor does a copy appear in my sent mail folder on the Yahoo server. I don't receive any error message -- the mail just never is sent.
I spoke with an Apple store genius and he suggested deleting the Yahoo Mail Plus account settings on my iPhone and then setting it up again. I did this and it worked for the first 2-3 messages, but did not work again after that (once I had already ended my Genius Bar appointment). I tried deleting my Yahoo Mail Plus account settings a second time later and got the same result -- I was able to send 1-2 messages but none after that.
My other free Yahoo Mail account is working fine on the iPhone (send/receive) as is a GMail account. And all accounts work properly when accessed directly via a web browser.
Apple has a support doc about sending e-mail on the iPhone, but this relates to ISP port blocking and doesn't seem to apply to my situation as it happens in various locations with different WiFi providers, as well as when on AT&T's Edge network.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
I even had the problem in the Apple store using their WiFi network, which presumably doesn't have port issues.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

after reading how free accounts works fine and plus accounts tends not to, i think its safe to say this is a yahoo problem. the iphone yahoo wizard is probably meant for free accounts, but plus accounts are setup differently.

I can no longer use my mail account. Won't send or receive.

How do I reset my mail account in order to receive and send messages?

Apple - Support - iPad - Mail Assistant
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
You can also delete the account and start over. Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Delete Account.

Cant get email but can when I use web mail and then sync

Check your incoming server entries. Your outgoing server seems to be working.

How Many Mailboxes can you have using the Mail app?

I know very little about gmail, but you might try the OS X Hints article, or the step-by-step guide at About.com.

Why can't I use Yahoo mail? It won't delete any emails. Google chrome does it right. Fix it or you will lose our business

Yesterday, Aug. 22, Mozilla suffered a massive & complete breakdown in handling Yahoo. Originally I thought it was a virus. I immediately switched to Google Chrome & worked on it w/o difficulty all day long. Yahoo was pushing all data/articles to the left side of the screen. That fixed today, Aug. 23. HOWEVER, the problem with Yahoo mail persists. Out of the blue, it's impossible to delete any Yahoo emails on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of emails to be deleted, they open automatically. There's no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of it. It's very annoying. Somebody's messing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer worked just fine all day. FIX IT!

YES!!! IT WORKED!!! THANK GOD! Mozilla is so much more fun than Google Chrome--- All my bookmarks were saved & my passwords, too! And now my Yahoo Mail is working beautifully again! What a relief!

Just go to Format > Font > Show Fonts and select it there and you should be able to use it.

I can no longer access or use my mail only through iCloud. I have made no changes to cause this., I can no longer access or use my mail only through iCloud. I have made no changes to cause this.

I can no longer use my mail, only can access through icloud. I have made no changes or updates to create this problem. TWC did take over my internet provider and suddenly I started have a myriad of issues. I am in the process of changing providers to ATT because TWC does not support Safari.

How does TWC not support Safari? (They're lying)
You're using Apple Mail right?
What happens when you launch mail?
Please provide all errors you see.

Illustrator CS4 can´t sometimes use some fonts

Hello I have a strange issue with illustrator CS4 under Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Design Premium, which is driving me really crazy. If I am trying to write some text using for example Titilium Font, Olijo or some other ttf and otf fonts, I can see them in font selection, but whe I change to them Illustrator automaticaly switch to Myriad Pro. Few minutes ago I have sucesfully written a text with Olijo font then I restarted computer and Illustrator refused to use the font next time. I do not know what is causing it because other programs Word, Excel, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash can use them font without any problems. This issue is happening randomly with random fonts only in Illustrator. It also happened once with Myriad Pro font Family. Anyone knows how can I solve this?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my custom fonts (bought and downloaded) are in the folder C:\Fonts, system fonts are in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. For font managing I am using Bitstream Font Navigator.
