How can I view Illustrator fonts in Photoshop?

My client is sending me web page designs in .ai format. I have tried opening them in Photoshop CC using various techniques (straight open, open as smart object, etc.) but I am unable to ungroup and inspect individual elements. I mainly need font specs (font type, size, etc.).
I have been able to open and ungroup objects in Inkscape, but am still not getting any specific font info (everything reports to be Serif 15)
Do I need to do something special on my end, or do I need to give my client instructions on how to give me a file in a different format?
And, of course, big deadline looming tomorrow *sigh*

Well, perhaps your client has Acrobat and can do a preflight for you.
If that is not the case there are some rudimentary ways even in Illustrator (Document Info panel menu > Fonts) which can be saved to a .txt file.
Ask your client.

How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

How can I change the font in notes in the view in mail?

How can I change the font in notes in the view in mail?

Use the Fonts menu. Either -
• go to the Format menu and select Show Fonts
• or, in the Note creation window, click the icon for Fonts -
In either case, once the Fonts window is open, select the text you want to change then choose the font characteristics (face, style, and size) from the Fonts screen.

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase?

How can I use my fonts in Illustrator (CS4) without Suitcase? InDesign has a fonts folder, but not Illustrator.

i found this info from this link: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3466307. The user who asked this question stats this solution worked for them.
First in Language and text preferences in the system preferences select Hebrew as the input method.
The in Illustrator click the text tool in your document or drag to create a text frame.
While the cursor is active select a hebrew font
then go to the menu bar for the finder and where there is the American Flag pull it down and select hebrew
now go back to the document and start typing.
Remember if you do not have the ME version you have to have it flush right and type backwards.

Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

How can Install Middle Eastern versions of Photoshop & Illustrator CC

Hi, this may sounds stupid but I can;t figure out a way to do it
How can Install Middle Eastern versions of Photoshop & Illustrator ?
I have regular versions installed but if I go to reinstall them I dont see ME vesrions.
Please Help!
p.s. I'm in Canada and I really hope those versions are not available only in Middle East!

Kanda the process of changing the input language is going to be different for each application. I would encourage you to post to the forum applicable to that software title.
I would recommend posting in the following forums:
Photoshop General Discussion - http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
Illustrator - http://forums.adobe.com/community/illustrator
You may also want to search in each of those forums before creating a new inquiry as this topic has likely been raised by someone else previously.

How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
thanks!

No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

How Can I View an AppleScript File that was Saved as "Run Only"?

Hello. I would like to view the AppleScript of a file I downloaded. But when I show the package contents, find the script, and try to open it, I get a message saying that the file "main.scpt" could not be opened because it was saved as run-only. How can I view this file?

How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
Process charProcess = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
charProcess.Start();
etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
MS.” So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and
change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
Your help is appreciated.

How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11?

How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11? Specifically, when in Artist view both the text in the sidebar and the track listing are huge.

How to change fontsize in iTunes
Take an XML-Editor and open:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\TextStyles.plist"
For other languages change your country code (de, en, fr, pl ...).
Example for english: "\en.lproj\TextStyles.plist".
Backup this File !!!
To change the Text-Size, change the integer value of the following item:
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>8</integer>"
This means Text-Size 8
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>12</integer>"
This means Text-Size 12
To change the font, change the integer value of the following item:
<key>font</key>
<string>Arial</string>
This means the font changes to Arial
This also works:
<key>italic</key>
<true/>
<key>bold</key>
<true/>
<key>underline</key>
<true/>
