Having Font Book problems since upgrading to Tiger.

Once I upgrade to Panther, I pitched Suitcase, and have been using Font Book exclusively for activating Fonts and such.
After upgrading to Tiger font book has basically rendered itself worthless for me. At least half of my old font wont load through font book. On alot of my type 1 fonts, if I drag them to Font Book, then the font will appear to be loaded and activated, but actually only the scren font was copied to the fonts folder (user/library/fonts). If I manually copy the fonts into this folder, then they sow up in my Adobe apps (CS2), but still print lo res.
For now I have ditched Font Book, and have been using Font Explorer X, and it works flawlessly, but I'd rather use Font Book if I can get it to behave, as I like the interface better.
In addition, I am also unable to load many PC TT fonts through Font Book Tiger, that I had no problem loading through FB in Panther.
Any Ideas, or is it just buggy?

Well, Font Book under Tiger is still buggy, but it's better than under Panther, and not buggy in the ways you describe, so there's something else going on.
Adobe apps will "load" a bitmapped font into their menus but then tell you, if you select them, that the printer file is missing and printing will be at lo-res, which is what you're describing. You say you "manually copy these fonts to the folder"; by "these fonts" are you referring to the printer files (which you said were not being copied to the Users fonts folder thru Font Book)?
The mystery is how Font Book is helping you install fonts which are apparently bitmap suitcases without copying the printer files along with it to the target folder.
So, a couple of things to check, choosing just one or two of the problem fonts to manipulate:
-When you "drag to Font Book" where are you dragging them? Depending on where you drop them, they could go to the default Install folder (set in Preferences), or someplace else. If you drag them to the Classic Mac OS library in Font Book, that could let you install bitmap-only suitcase fonts (without their PostScript companions). These will only show up in Classic apps and in Adobe apps, as described above.
-Might your suitcase files have both TrueType and bitmapped versions of a font inside? That might explain why only the suitcase file is being installed thru Font Book - it's just ignoring the bitmap.
In all, it still "feels" like a problem of bitmaps without their printer files... did you rename the printer files, by any chance? That will keep the OS from finding them at print time.
Did you clean everything up after ditching Suitcase? I don't know what artifacts you might be dealing with.
As for the PC TTs that worked before but not now... that's the real puzzler.
In both cases - your Type 1s and TTs, what happens when you put them right into the Fonts folder, bypassing Font Book.
Get back with more info, and we'll get back with more analysis...

  • Can only print one copy at a time in AppleWorks since upgrading to Tiger

    Since upgrading to Tiger 10.4.3, (now using version10.4.6) and AppleWorks 6.2.9, I cannot print more than one copy of my document using either of my Epson printers, a R200 and a C86. I did not have this problem with Panther and AW 6.
    Apple techs said to reinstalled AW, did not help. Then did a complete archive and reinstall of Tiger, no help, then created a new preference folder, no help.
    I found by trial and error that my Grammarian spell and grammar program by Linguisoft uses an input method to be active in order to correct AW documents. I sent them an email and their reply was, this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.x (all versions as of Nov, 2005) Specifically, if an input method is active, you will be unable to edit the number of copies or page range values in the dialog versions of Print and Page Setup. This is not a problem in the sheet versions of Print and Page Setup.
    Certain older applications still use these dialogs (i.e., AppleWorks) instead of the more appropriate sheet equivalents. To clarify the difference, the sheet versions are "attached" to the actual document you are printing (take a look at, say, TextEdit), while the dialog versions appear modally in front of all document windows in applications that use them.
    I wrote a three page letter to Apple and received a call from them, it seems that for now no upgrades to correct this problem is in the works, so for now I will have to make my corrections to all documents that I am working on, then change the input method in Grammarian and print my copies, then go back and make Grammarian active again.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem or am I the only one?

    Hello DaisyMay,
    You're quite welcome. Very glad to hear it helped!
    Yet I'd like to mention the true ones of merit are the contributors of the original Japanese thread. I've just summarized and translated a bit.
    Regarding why it takes so long to fix this bug/flaw, I suspect that it is because it won't affect the majority of American users who do not use input method at all, and besides, it seemingly affects only Carbon API, that Apple Computer Inc. is liable to neglect lately.
    However, input method is a vital piece in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages, and any other languages that use more than 256 characters, and also quite a few Carbon applications are still in service, so for us (Japanese, e.g.), this bug/flaw is quite unacceptable.
    It's new for me to know a non-CJK program, Grammarian, uses input method. Now I understand you'd see this bug/flaw unacceptable as well!
    At least one of the contributors of Japanese thread said he let Apple Computer Japan know this problem via official telephone support channel. Also other said that Ergosoft Corp., the maker of EGWord, stated that this is a known-issue of OSX10.4 and they can do nothing but wait for Apple to fix it. Ergosoft has been specialized to Macintosh platform since 1984, so it's quite unlikely they had not reported this problem to Apple via developer channel.
    After all, I think Apple knows this problem, whether a bug or a flaw.
    Well, possibly, it might not be sufficient for an end-user to point out the problem via Apple's telephone support channel...
    In such case, you may try this form -
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    In my humble opinion, they should shortly fix this, and meanwhile they should promptly publish the user-proposed work-around methods as a Knowledge Base article.
    Have beautiful May,

  • Quicktime broadcaster won't work since upgrade to Tiger!

    this is probably the worst experience i've had trying to get support from Apple. nothing remotely resembling my problem is anywhere in the knowledge base. here's the deal...
    i used broadcaster every week prior to upgrade without any problems...NOW...i am unable to "enable video stream" since upgrading to Tiger. All I can broadcast is audio.
    I EVEN have AppleCare support for my computer but Apple still won't help me!!!! I spent all day on this and need it to work TOMORROW MORNING! didn't expect any problems since it worked fine before.
    Signed,
    A disappointed customer who has used Apple Computers for 20+ years!

    Okay....after a few more hours I decided to reinstall Quicktime Player and then re-enter my quicktime Pro registration key. Now it works. I'm still disappointed that Apple wouldn't help me with this though. Not the service I'm used to.
    So...quicktime broadcaster users be advised of this need to reinstall quicktime after upgrading to Tiger. It wasn't just my g5 that was affected...I checked it out on my g4 powerbook and also had the same problem.

  • Problems since upgrading to v9.10

    Has anyone else encountered problems since upgrading to v9.10?
    Firstly there appears to be an issue with OLT no longer working in Firefox (3.6) as the "Build Scenarios" lists (select scripts) don't populate. Fortunately it still works in IE7, so I can at least revert to that.
    Apart from that, what's more of a problem is that I've found some previously working scripts are no longer working in OLT (but I haven't yet found a pattern).
    e.g. 1) One webservices script for product 'A' works, yet another for the same product comes back with "Orphaned agent" and "Failed to load script class for script X".
    e.g. 2) A similar set of scripts for a different webservice 'B' also has one working and the other with the same errors generated.
    e.g. 3) I have some web scripts that work, but others come back with the errors shown.
    I have also noticed that if I attempt to run multiple scripts e.g. load a previously working scenario containing 12 scripts, none of the scripts runs (as the agent has failed to start because of at least one of the scripts). The same is true if I try and run a single working script with a single non-working script; both fail with the message from the non-working script (both would be using the same agent).
    So far I have only tried converting a (new copy of a) single script to the v9.10 format but that didn't seem to make a difference. Pre-v9.10 scripts should still work in OLTv9.10 though; the conversion shouldn't be necessary.
    I have tried the usual things (re-starting the services and even the OracleXE database). Any suggestions?

    I too have FF3.6.3 but after signing in, I get the Build Scenarios page displayed but the "Select scripts & user-defined profiles" box with "Path: Scripts Only" list has nothing in it. Changing to "Scripts and Directories" makes no difference, still nothing is shown in the list. The repository should have multiple directories with multiple scripts (as shown when I try the same thing in IE7).
    I now suspect this too may be down to some problem during the upgrade of the DB from v9.01.1 to v9.10 the odd thing with the script failures is the error doesn't seem to indicate anything wrong with the script itself; just that the agent failed to load the script. You get OLT Server Warnings that say "Stopped Autopilot because of error on agent "[name]" and the VU Grid shows my (single) VU with error "Failed to load script class for script [name]".
    One particularly odd thing is that if I try adding 2 scripts in the same batch (a working and non-working one) with a delay between them the following happens:
    1) VU1 with working script starts and completes OK (total time around 48s)
    2) VU2 starts after delay (120s) but immediately comes back with the OLT Server Warning.
    3) *BOTH* VUs on the VU Grid now show the same error about the agent (despite the 1st VU having completed sucessfully).
    The agent seems to run happily with a working script until it is asked to load another (non-working) script which then kills the agent?
    Here's the relevant section from the databaseConfig.log from when the upgrade was installed, as I suspect this is where the problem started:

  • Ipad3 problems since upgrading to ios8n

    Is anyone else experiencing these problems since upgrading to iOS 8?
    - Need to touch screen several times for a nornal one touch action (note: Screen size/position changes a bit after each successive try.)
    - keyboard response slow at times and at times freezes
    - screen content/image has expanded slightly but enought to put some perimeter icons and controls outside/off the screen.
    Are there fixes?
    ios7 worked beautifully!!! Why won't Apple allow their currently loyal ( but frustrated)  clients to revert back to ios7?

    Hi Go to settings Restore  back, to Factory, settings After Restore use same Apple ID & password, then you will get all your apps & data, back. This will get rid of any bugs. I do this every 2 months, or so on iPhone & iPad. Cheers Brian

  • Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

    Hi.
    Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?  In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
    I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
    Thanks
    Savcom

    Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

  • Problems since upgrading to Mavericks

    I am experiencing problems with CC applications since upgrading to Mavericks. Mostly Screen and display issues.
    In Photoshop, the top menu bar where the red, yellow , green window buttons normally sit has disappeared and it seems I cannot drag the window down to reveal (if that is the problem)
    In Indesign, The program opens but I cannot see any workspace at all, even when I open an existing ID file.
    Premiere Pro, Bridge,  appear to work OK
    After effects and Muse indicated both required upgrades, yet the CC application Manager does not indicate any upgrades required or available.
    I have not tried other apps.
    Is anyone else experiencing problems since upgrading to Mavericks and if so, does anyone know if Adobe are working on fixes?

    I upgraded to Mavericks on two computers and have display problems too! I have CC on one Macbook Pro (2011) and CS6 on another (2012) and I'm now almost positive my display problems are triggered by InDesign. I don't have to be doing anything special, and I don't have to be working in InDesign at the time, but InDesign has to be open and I get things like this:
    Once it turns magenta or green, that's when I have to boot the system. I can still work with the glitchy display before it turns colors and if I'm still able to quit InDesign while it's glitching, the display goes back to normal. Same on both computers and the 2011 one has a new logic board in it.
    At first I thought it had something to do with connecting my hard drive or my external display, but the display issues happened with both computers with nothing hooked up. Those are ruled out now. I took my 2012 computer to Apple and they told me it was a software issue and all my hardware is ok. Obviously they didn't fix the software issue because it's still happening.
    This is not normal and needs to be fixed soon!

  • Since upgrading to Tiger Stuffit no longer works.

    Since upgrading to Tiger, Stuffit no longer works. I cannot send an email with file compression selected, because it gives me an error message: The action could not be completed, an unknown internal program error has occurred.
    I had been using version 9, but on the advice of Allume tech support, I uninstalled it, downloaded and installed Stuffit Deluxe 10.0.1. Twice. There are no error messages, as the program simply does not open. It is available in the dock, when I double click it, it will bounce once or twice and appear to be opening, and then stop bouncing. If I drag a file onto the icon, it bounces twice and then stops, no compressed file is created. If I go directly to the application folder and open the application, it looks like it will open, it places an icon in the doc for a split second, and then it goes away. Stuffit Expander, however, works fine.
    Allume has stopped answering my inquiries because they can't figure out what's going on. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Prior to ugrading to Tiger did you repair your hard drive and permissions? Did you do a true Upgrade install or an Archive and Install? If you did an Upgrade install what version of OS X did you upgrade? If you did an Archive and Install, then try reinstalling Stuffit.
    To repair the hard drive and permissions do the following:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks

    trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks, what do I need to do please ?

    You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
    The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
    The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
    Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

  • Itunes problem Since upgrading to window10

    ITunes problem Since upgrading to window10, my ITunes cannot see the My Cloud drive, also I keep getting an error when my WC control panel tries to scan the content.This drive has worked fine for almost a year and since upgrading to windows 10 my smart TV's and my other devises can't find the drive I have updated the firmware, done a factory reset. but still have massive problems.Anybody any Ideas

    This is what I did, In windows credentials from the settings menu I added a windows credential using the IP address, and then the name of the pc with log in details. But during my messing about I also mounted the drive and deleted my C:drive Itunes folder. then re scanned my music once I could set the parameters to the right folder.Its working but I have to admit I am not sure which one solved the problem. WD still working on a reply.Hope you get it sorted.

  • Garbled Text/Odd font in Safari since updating to Tiger.  Java related?

    I seem to be having a problem with Safari since I updated to Tiger.
    I'm running Safari 2.0.3, and have been encountering problems with garbled text in a strange font when Safari loads certain pages. The text often overlaps making it impossible to read.
    A friend thinks it might be Java related. I've tried clearing the cache and resetting Java, but it hasn't helped.
    Here's a screenshot example: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/tashamay/Picture2.jpg
    On the Petfinder.com page specifically, if I go directly to their home site everything is fine, but once I try and search the results come up all messed up.
    I also have a problem with it when I try andl log into gmail. "Loading" comes up on the screen in the garbled text font as if it's trying to load an applet, but nothing happens. I eventually get the spinning rainbow of death and have to force quit.
    Any ideas?

    Hello tashamay:
    I am not an expert in font issues, but you may have corrupt fonts. Open "font book.' Select all and run resolve duplicates. Then select all and run validate fonts. I also have read that Helvetica fractional fonts have caused some rendering problems.
    I would also clear the Safari cache again.

  • Help mail nightmare since upgrading to tiger!!!!!

    Since I upgraded to tiger I have had nothing but trouble with mail. When I open mail there is no message viewer, I have to create a new one everytime and it is always blank - there are folders but no messages. When i try to get new mail it looks but gets nothing - it is online and I've used connection doctor to check. When i use activity viewer it says it is checking with the server but still nothing appears. The only way I can check my emails is to directly access my .mac account where all my mail is found but for some reason it won't download with mail. Also when I try to quit mail it won't and I have to force quit! Please help, I'm really stuck and its a nightmare!
      Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
    0. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Optical drive problems after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.10

    I've just had my machine updated to Tiger 10.4.10 after having two new hard drives installed after a hard drive failure. I'm now having issues with burning data for backup purposes.
    I can't burn anything with Mac OS Disc Burner utility, it doesn't seem to recognize blank disc's DVD's or CD's. It keeps telling me to load a disc when one is already in the drive.
    System profiler recognizes CD-R's & DVD-R's when they are in the optical drive
    I can burn with Toast Titanium ver 6.0.3 DVD's & CD's. The burned CD's will mount. The burned DVD's will not mount.
    I have checked the burned DVD's in the optical drive of my iBook G4 Mac OS 10.3.9 and they mount on it fine.
    Movie DVD's will mount & play. Software DVD's will mount and load applications.
    I have cleaned the drive with a cleaning disc.
    The Optical Drive was working fine before the upgrade, so what is the problem?
    I can only assume two problems now!
    1.) the optical drive has a physical malfunction
    2.) there is a software issue between Tiger 10.4.10 & this optical drive (this is my favorite at the moment)
    The upgrade was done by an Apple Authorised Service Provider they say there are no issues with Tiger & the optical drive.
    So any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

    I'm having a similar problem. I bought my G5 with Panther OS on it a few years ago. The DVD drive functioned perfectly back then. Then I upgraded to Tiger this past year which caused the DVD drive to open later..that is, I'd have to hold down the eject button for a good 2 or 3 seconds before it would open or close. Previously it responded instantly. Now what happens more and more is it can't read DVD-ROM disks that it has burned. My imac G4 with Jaguar has no trouble reading the disks but Tiger 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 simply refuse to mount DVD ROM disks that it burned.
    I'm trying to make a duplicate DVD of the offending disk on my single-processor G4 and then put THAT disk into the G5 so it can read the info. Hopefully that will be my work-around.
    It's got to be a software issue and I keep hoping the Apple wiz kids will put out an update to remedy this. Something's fishy with the DVD drive programming.

  • Battery problems since upgrading to IOS 5.1.1

    My battery which was workinng fine until the upgrade, discharges at an alarming rate since upgrading to IOS 5.1.1.  I have to have a cord almost everywhere I go just to keep it with battery liife.  I can lose at least 40% andd hour, I have a co-worker with the same problem.  I have an Iphone 4 and she has an Iphone 4S.  Please help me fix this ASAP.

    I would like to downgrade also. Having to charge 3 times a day is just dumb. I purchased my 3G wifi iPad for a small fortune just 3 or 4 months ago and the older OS worked fine, charge once every other day. I guess I learned my lesson about being an early adopter with Apple products - upgraded to IOS 5 - bummer - got the "fix" - still a bummer.
    I want to downgrade the os on my IPad .... Apple? Hello? Are you listening?

  • Font Book problems under 10.5.5

    After updating to 10.5 and completing Software Update immediately to 10.5.5, I have noticed some quirks in Font Book. I did not use Font Book after the installation/upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5 until 10.5.5 was operational.
    1) I have over 400 font families, but all but about 50 are normally inactivated. The new Font Book is slow as molasses to show any fonts the first time it is opened on a fresh boot. Former versions would start showing some of the fonts and add to the list as the files were read from the library by Font Book. Now it sits and sits until all have been read to display anything (close to 15 seconds). At least before one knew if it was working and not just showing a spinning beach ball. Doesn't seem a change for the better.
    2) Font Book used to show all fonts quickly once it had been opened under a current startup of system. Now there is a lag in the display (8-10 sec), but not nearly as bad as current initial openings, but longer than the previous system version.
    This next point is REALLY annoying:
    3) When inactivating a duplicate of a font face (i.e. inactivating the TT version when want only the PS1), I can click on the style to be inactivated and before I can get down to click to inactivate BOTH styles become highlighted so I will deactivate/activate both if I don't watch what is happening. This happens virtually every time I do this procedure and never occurred in versions prior to 10.5.5. (Since I didn't use anything on the computer until I updated to 10.5.5, I don't know at what point of the 10.5 cycle this might have begun.)

    I am in publishing and have a true postscript laser printer. Font are not just regular type, but phonetic, language and music fonts. Given a choice, I will take PS over TT anytime and I have a large investment in Adobe fonts..
    Bad fonts aren't installed and I disable duplications when they occur with PS/TT/OT fonts.
    I still make the point that I am using exactly the same fonts that were used with 10.4.11 - nothing added or deleted, the same ones active or inactive. Font Book did NOT behave this way until I upgraded to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11.
    (For those that don't remember their history, TT was developed by Apple and adopted by Microslop because they couldn't conveniently deal with PS.)
