Help with font book

I have had several duplicate fonts installed and have used the "resolve duplicates" feature but for some reason, I can't seem to resolve the Arial duplicates. I select the "resolve duplicates function, but the yellow triange is still showing with a warning fo duplicate fonts...any way to resolve the Arial dulicates?

inthe --
If you select, say, one of the times bold,
then go up to "Edit" and select "Find"
you will then get a yellow box that tells you
where the each of the fonts are located.
Most of the time, there will be one in User Library,
and one in Microsoft. Whatever, I don't think
that would really mess things up too much.
Are you having specific problems>
Unreadable text, etc?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

This should help. Good Luck.

Installing Fonts with Font Book

I recieved an Illustrator file to work on from a collegue. In addtion, they packaged the fonts that I needed to work with the file. When I unpackaged the file, the fonts showed up as a post script font, but would not load into Font Book. When I tried to add them through font book, I could see the files, but could not select them they were "greyed-out." If I doubleclick the file it opens up Font Book, but won't do anything else.
PLEASE HELP!

Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Better font check than with Font Book?

Hi,
I have checked the fonts with Font Book. Everything seems to be okay but I still assume that there might be a broken font.
Is there a better check than I as a relatively new Apple user can find in font book?
Can it be that a programm (like Ghost View) copied new fonts into the font folder that are not checked with font book?
The reason why I believe that fonts are broken is that my system cannot display .eps files anymore which might supposedly be related to a broken font.
Thanks,
Kurt

Fonts don't print with Font Book

Hi,
Fonts I load in Font Book are looking fine on screen but they don't print - I have to put them directly in the Fonts folder (in the System folder) to do so. My printer is a Lexmark E120n is that matters.
What should I do to get them to print using Font Book?
Thanks for your help!

It turns out the problem was with that certain printer. The floor model and other models and makes works fine. the Brother support person was an idiot, and would not think outside the box. Luckily the guys at Apple and Office Depot did.

Help with Fonts that have trashed my machine

Hi please any help or advice needed.
I have a 2009 Macbook pro 17" running snow leopard v10.6
I recently made the mistake of installing a 1000 fonts pack.
Installed on my machine I have CS4 Master Suite ...
The 1st issue I noticed immediately was firefox fonts were illegible, I went through font book and fixed all the fonts with the yellow exclamation on...
But now I have a bigger issue I need dreamweaver for webwork that I do and all the program fonts are un readable ...
I have tried re installing CS4 to no avail... I even installed the CS5 demo but no joy ..
I set up a 2nd user on the mac and everything works fine, so I tried just creating a copy font directory fro the new account and installing them in my main account ... this just caused more conflicts
I cant use my 2nd User account as I have cutstudio plugin for a roland cutter and for some very odd reason when I sent to cut off my 2nd user account it only cuts out what the last job was on on my main account
Is there any way I can restore my fonts on my main account without having to re install snow leopard ...
If I do re install snow leopard does it wipe everything ????
Many thanks in advance

As macjack noted, you can reinstall just the fonts from your OS X installation disk without reinstalling the entire OS. But, it sounds like your bigger issue is that at least one (probably more) of the fonts you installed are bad. Applications displaying the wrong fonts is usually caused by one of two things, sometimes both:
1) The fonts have incorrect internal names and are conflicting with the font that is supposed to be displaying.
2) The fonts are damaged. If they are, that in turn damages Font Book's database. Once that happens, you will see incorrect fonts displayed, not being able to activate or deactivate fonts from within Font Book, etc.
So just reinstalling OS X's supplied fonts won't fix the issue by itself. You need to do multiple steps:
1) Move all of the third party fonts you installed somewhere other than in a Fonts folder. You can just delete them too since you have them on disk.
2) Reset Font Book. Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. Any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
Everything should be working correctly at this point. The only reason it wouldn't is if the OS X supplied fonts themselves were damaged.

Urgent Help with Planning Book

Hello Gurus,
Need your help with a very urgent issue. I cannot see my key figure values in my planning book(Interactive Planning). I could sucessfully generate my CVC, then initialised my planning area. Then when I go the interactive planning I can see all my characteristics -Ex Material master( has all values), Prod type has values, etc. Iam in DEV system and have to move the whole config to QA now. I have to validate that the config works in QA. Its works ok in the sandbox but I cannot figureout why I can not see the values for key figs that Iam loading from a Flat File. Please help!!!!!!

Hello Suresh,
I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
Thanks again,
Chinna.

Help with Font on website

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little problem with a website, the soloution is probably really simple but cant for the life of me figure it out.
Welcome to 1st Winnington Scouts
Please choose your section below.
In my html the above is under the div tag "main" and the css for h1 is calibri font and it shows this in dreamweaver. Whenever I use live view, or preview in browser, or have it uploaded as it is now the font reverts back to times new roman and black in colour.
The link to the site is below.
http://winningtonscouts.hostei.com/
Any help with this would be grand

Sorry I meant to say Courier New, not Calibri
On the Style sheet there are
#main_image h1 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 36px;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
#main_image p {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #51327B;

Help with font smoothing / rendering

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6), updated it to 10.6.4 yesterday. Font smoothing or rendering turned bad ever since the SL upgrade. I did these two things so far:
1. Resolved all the duplicate fonts in Font Book (there were many).
2. defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
Rebooted the machine. I still feel the fonts are looking ugly. Here are the screenshots:

Please help. I can't afford to do clean installation of SL now at this point

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Validated all my fonts cleaned out font cache but unfortunately nothing helped.
What else can it be?
Could you tell me what exactly you did?

Mail only works with Font Book open

I copied a lot of fonts to my laptop and all the fonts would show up on my desktop publisher. I did not want all the fonts enabled so I disabled the ones I didn't need. Later I noticed that I needed to enable essential fonts for my system, so I did that. BUT now when I start up my mail, it will start up slightly. It looks like it will start but I get the beach ball and it keeps turning and never starts up. The only way I can use my mail is to have the Font Book application opened. If I quit mail and start it up again, it will not work. I can only start up Mail, when I have Font Book up. If I quit Font Book, Mail mail continue to work. It's almost like it needs a jump start from Font Book...
How can I fix this? Is there a particular font that is needed for Mail? Maybe the list of essential system fonts I got was incorrect...

Sorry, but I have to agree with the OP. There should be a switch, and perhaps the default for that switch should be as you stated, however it would be great to have the option there.
And anyway, with file sharing on (like most Macs on my uni network have, see attached), you can put anything in their drop boxes at any time. Airdrop is a simplified version of this, so why not have an always on option as well?
Waiting for a clever person to come up with hack. Perhaps it drains battery life in terms of the ad hoc feature of Airdrop. I dunno.

Replacing Fonts Removed with Font Book

Font Book shows that several fonts that I frequently use, such as Times New Roman, have problems. If I remove them, where do I find replacements--the MS Office install disc, and do I have to reinstall the entire MS Office?

Start with Font Management in OS X
and if that doesn't solve your issues, see:

Problems with Font Book

I run my own literary magazine, and recently I purchased and installed a 4000 font package onto my computer. Needless to say, it wasn't the most intelligent thing to do, because every program that runs with fonts, like Photoshop, InDesign, and even Word, take five to six minutes to start up. I want to restore to my original fonts that came with my PowerBook without resetting my hard drive, and I honestly have no idea how to do it. If someone could enlighten me on this topic I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Upon inspecting Font Book, it seems like you could highlight any fonts or font families and use "file/remove" or "edit/disable"

Is anyone else having problems with Font Book?

Recently tried to add some Hallowe'en fonts. Font Book seems to start, i.e., the first page opens, but it refuses to add the font, and sits there spinning the beachball. I have to force quit, get a demand to report to Apple - which I have now done 3-4 times.
Tried to open the program by itself, got the exact same response! Really do not know where to turn... help!!!

I'm having the same issue...
I just viewed the Font Management in OS X but I'm literally sitting at my desk lost looking at that. I desperately need help, cause I have new fonts I want to install.
Thanks!
