Helvetica and other 100dpi and 75dpi fonts are not working

So yeah, I have xorg installed, have the xorg-fonts-{75,100}dpi installed. I have the /usr/share/fonts/{75,100}dpi in the xorg.conf and they just do not work. They used to work at one time. But they don't anymore. I have no idea why. I have tried everything that seems reasonable to do, but they just will not work.

Ah yes, by not work I mean whenever I try to use it in an application, there is great failure. For instance, in abiword, it appears that the letters just type over one another and it is just a disaster. In firefox, when I try to set the font to helvetica, it just flat out doesn't do it. This is also the case for other fonts in these packages, like lucida.

My fonts are not working correctly

Hello guys,
I noticed today that most of my added fonts are not working. I use a lot of fonts that have a cyrillic subset which were working perfectly fine till 2 days ago. Now when I select a text field and try to change the font face to one of the added fonts, it changes the font face to whichever the default font is and renders the font selection menu to blank. I am really puzzled, the fonts are installed in the Fonts folder in Windows, and they were working perfectly fine till a couple of days ago. I havent installed any Fireworks or Windows updates in the meantime. I am working in Fireworks CS5.
Cheers

I wasn't sure about my shut-down-and-restart suggestion, but I still think it might be a good idea to clear the font caches. Here are a couple links on clearing font caches for Windows and Adobe apps:

You might want to supplement this with some research of your own, then give it a try.

Firefox 5 some web sites fonts are not work.

I try to visit this sinhala language web site using Firefox 5 latest version. Then that site not properly display (Fonts are not work). Then i again downloaded that web site fonts and install them. But again that web site not properly display.
If i visit that web site using "Google Chrome" or "IE" i can view that web site properly. This problem only happen for Firefox 5. Older version Firefox 4 work properly with this site.
This is that web site fonts download link -http://www.lankaenews.com/font/sinhala_tamil_fonts.zip

You can set the pref gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable downloadable fonts and make Firefox use a locally installed font.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
Slow Keys
Mouse Keys.
The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly. Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect. Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.

Some photos from one day are showing up on my photo stream, and others from that same day are not. Any idea why this might be?

Took a bunch of photos on vacation one day, and it seems like the first batch from one day are not showing up, but then all of a sudden, the ones from the second half of the day are there. They are not showing up on the photostream on my iPhone on which I took the photos, or on my iPad or in iPhoto on my computer. Any idea why this could be happening? All the other photos I took all week showed up on my Photostream.
Is there anyway to force these photos into the photostream?
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated!

photo stream uploads photos from your photo app when it is connected to wifi and the photo app has been closed correctly. That may be why your seeing photos pop up on different dates

The keyboard and track pad on my macbook are not working at all!!

I have a macbook , The problem is that the keyboard and the trackpad isn't working at all but the laptop is runnig fine and i can use external USB keyboard
Any help .... :@

Hey Stu,
Same here. First I was under iOS 8.0.0, brand new 6 plus. Reminders had the same problem: I can't add any task and can't add a new page, can't change the name of the blank page I have in front of me, my reminders are not synced with the computer.
The only thing I can do is clic on the alarm icon (half-hidden) and when I do it's also blank and I can't add anything, Siri can't either.
I tried updating to iOS 8.0.2, I tried turning on off the phone, turing on/off the sync with iCloud, restarting the app... Nothing worked.
I added a screen shot of both the only screens I can see (in french, but "Nouvelle liste" means "New list" and "Programmé" means "Scheduled" so you should recognise the screens).

Facebook messenger, link loading and preview, and messages in general on facebook are not working for me all of a sudden. Work fine on IE, what's up?

I can't access messages, the page blanks, the chat windows will not appear, and I can't post link previews to my wall or any other wall.

Typekit desktop fonts are synced but the fonts are not working

I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud services and immediate have noticed that Typekit is hit or miss. I have no trouble syncing the fonts on Typekit.com, they show as synced in my CC control panel. Photoshop CC sometimes even recognize the missing fonts as typekit fonts on a PSD load and ask if I want to update the missing fonts with the Typekit fonts, I confirm I do or in general try to use the synced fonts, and it doesn't work – fonts are missing. I restart Photoshop, I restart my computer, I attempt the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it eventually works, but today its not. This is all very frustrating since access to Typekit was one of the main reasons I decided to go on the Adobe Creative Cloud. Please help!

Hi sws234,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. There are a few things we can check right away to start debugging this:
- First, would you try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and see if this solves the issue?
- Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve the issue?
- Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under: Gear > Preferences > Fonts. Wait a second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try syncing again. Did this solve it?
- Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
- Could you check version of the Creative Cloud app you're using and let me know which version it is? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account
If none of those worked, could you drop us a line at: [email protected] and we'll pick it up there? We'll need some account info to continue troubleshooting.
Cheers,
Benjamin

Some fonts are not working

I need to use Times or Times New Roman font, and the apostrophe/quotation mark key just turns out a weird combination of letters instead. The key works in some fonts but not others. How can I fix this?

Hi Bethanning,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may want to look at Using and Managing Fonts in Mac OS X PDF. It says,
"Mac OS X is not limited to Roman alphabets
because it takes advantage of Unicode.Applications
that support Unicode can select characters from a
set of up to 65,636 different symbols.This is almost
one glyph for every possible character in every
written language.Most fonts don’t need so many
symbols,but many non-Roman fonts used in Asia
and the Middle East can have many thousands of
different glyphs.
To make it easy for users to select keyboard
layouts that correspond to different fonts,Mac OS X
provides an Input menu.This shows different
keyboard layouts so you can use the same keyboard
to select different glyphs.You can turn different
keyboard layouts,including the new Character
Palette,on and off through the Input Menu tab in
the International pane in System Preferences."
Not every font has the same symbols in the same places (sometimes symbols my not be included.

My apple and itunes id are synched but my icloud is an old apple id and I can't figure out how to delete it and change to current Apple Id. i tried to delete it but I have to have the oassword and the knes I know of are not working. Thanks for any he

I have an iPad 2 with most recent update 8.1.3. I have been experiencing connection problems, wifi dropping all the time. I get the prompts to enter passwords for iCloud and i Tunes all the time. I finally synched my Apple ID with my iTunes ID but the iCloud is still connected to an old email. I cannot figure out how to delete it as iCloud is not accepting the password I am using. I go round and round with changing passwords, etc. What am I doing wrong? How can I sync everything?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

SPA962 and 2 SPA932 - Last 5 lights are not working

I have a Linksys SPA962 with 2 SPA932. They have 64 extensions configured as BLF and retrieve status from an Asterisk PBX.
All first 59 lamps work OK, but the last 5 don't. They stay flashing in yellow and never show the extension status. If I remove some BLF from SPA932 configuration, everything works fine. After doing some tests, I figured out that SUBSCRIBE packets never came out the Linksys phone (achieve this by capturing all network traffic). So, it might not be an Asterisk configuration issue. Also tried upgrading and downgrading firmware versions, now I have the last one installed.
It seems as if the telephone has a limitation in the number of BLFs. Does anyone experienced something similar?
Hope we can solve it ASAP.
Best,
Facundo.

I have the same problem with exactly the that configuration. It's not always the last 5 subscriptions that fail, but always between 3 and 6. I used Wireshark to check packets sent to the Asterisk PBX and you're right, subscription packets don't seem to get to the network. If I delete 6 BLFs (doesn't mater which ones) the rest works fine. Seems like a buffer overflow ....

When the newest update to 24.3.0 was installed, I received duplicate messages and all of my message filters are not working properly. How to fix easily?

24.3.0 caused errors in my message filters. Error messages occur when getting new mail that has a filter. Not sure why this happened, but would like an easy fix instead of deleting all and creating new filters. Tried edit option, but to no avail. Was going to try clearing log, but I'm just guessing. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

I have run every version from 2 to 30 and the message filters have not been an issue in any of them. Perhaps if you restart from the help menu (Alt+H) > restart with add-ons disabled and see if an add-on is causing your issue.
