How do I add new fonts I've downloaded to Microsoft Word? It's in my font book but not usable on MW.,

Typical issue with 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 the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
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 clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.

    Imac Snow Leopard .....While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

    Thanks again baltwo,
    Thank you all very much,
    Strangely enough even though I had gotten the " Install failed....Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer....The install could not copy the necessary support files"  I had left it on the screen and left the room for awhile. I walked back into my computer room a few minutes ago and the window on the screen stated that the SL OS 10.6.4 had successfully installed. I am now very carefully checking things out to make sure the fonts are where they should be. With the exception of some updating it appears all may be well.
    PS. Below is a note I was writing to Kurt (also assisting me) to try and detail what had happened. Added it in case it could be of any value to you
    Kurt,
    Thank you for response. following is series of events to my best recollection.

    • downloaded new fonts
    • opened downloaded fonts, clicked font icons to open and install them.
    • typed "fonts" in spotlight (with the intention of moving new fonts into font folder)The Spotlight results window revealed 5 or 6 font folders. I ignorantly started to try a clean up by installing all fonts into a single folder (not thinking about system fonts)
    Sometimes when you are moving a folder the window you moved it from will jump around..well this occurred and I mistakenly released the folder on the desk top. This caused a copy to be made. After some investigation I realized it was a copy of the required system fonts that were still located in the original "spotlight results" window.
    • I attempted to delete the copy..when I did an administrator password box appeared I entered the password and the result was both system font folders were deleted (the original & the desk top copy I erroneously made)

  • On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

    Sirs,
    The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
    http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
    I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
    I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
    Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
    We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
    I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
    I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.

    The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
    1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
    2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
    3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
    4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
    This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.  

  • Fonts not embedded in PDF -- how to fix?

    I've been given a PDF that I need to place in an ID file (ID CS3).
    Several fonts are not embedded in the PDF (Univers and Stone Informal) so Adobe MM fonts are being substituted, and I get error messages about the missing fonts when I place the PDF pages in my ID file.
    I do happen to have all of the missing fonts, but loading them (and restarting Acrobat) didn't fix the problem. The PDF was created on Mac (according to the properties) so maybe my PC version of Acrobat isn't recognizing my fonts as being the same (font internal names or something being different?). When I try using Text Touch-Up, I'm told that, for example, the Stone Informal system font isn't available.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have no way of getting the source files or another copy of the original PDF with fonts embedded.
    FWIW, when I open one of the PDF pages in PS, PS does find my versions of the fonts and gives me no error messages. And I can see that the fonts are showing up correctly in the PS file.
    But I'd rather not use a bitmap -- I want to use the original PDF if possible (if I can figure out how to embed my fonts in it).
    The final product, BTW, will be a press-ready PDF of the ID file.
    TIA,
    Marlene

    I've got Acrobat 8.
    So if there's no way to embed fonts in the original PDF, I assume they also will not embed when I drop the PDF into my ID file and then create a new PDF of the ID file?
    I guess my only viable option is to open the PDF in PS and save the pages as TIFFs, and drop those into ID. I really hate to do that -- too much tiny text that gets fuzzy.

  • Font size in writing mail is too small for first two lines and then switches to 12. How do I change this to start and stay in 12.

    When I want to reply to a message or just compose one, the font size is Times Roman 10 which is too small. After two lines it becomes 12. How can I change the font to start and remain Times Roman 12?

    This survives closing and reopening Mail. When you open a New Message window, the body text will now be 14 point.
    That's how it works on my iMac with OS X 10.8.1 but it refuses to change when selected on our new MacBook Air with the same OS and Apple Mail version.  Is there something about the track pad that it doesn't recognize the click?

    Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2?  If yes, then how?  I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
    Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

    No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
    If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

  • Firefox opens Google link in the same tab (the way I like it), but I can't figure how to keep that and still have YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab. Help?

    Hello, here is my problem: reading your mozilla support, I learned how to make Firefox open links in Google results in the same tab, that's the way I like it, but I still like to have my YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab (I participate in one forum, when I come to the YouTube window in some topic, I usually click on a small right-down button "watch on YouTube", and that always opens video it in a new tab; all until latest few updates of Firefox). Can this issue be corrected in about:config feature, and how? Sorry if my English isn't so glorious.
    Thanks a lot for answering, and best regards...

    Hello. I have just tried this add-on you suggested, and no change.
    And no, there was no some other add-on before, not that I know about it. Mainly, I need this option while I'm on a forum (IP board powered), it is not really something so important, but it's neat function for me.
    So, to be more detailed - I read a certain topic on this forum, and some of the posts from other members contain YouTube screens (looking same as on the original YouTube page), showing the frame of a video.
    In earlier versions of Firefox, I used to click on a small YouTube logo button (right side, down, between "watch on full screen" and "watch later" buttons). Clicking on this button automatically opened new tab, leaving forum tab as it is, and in new tab original YouTube page, with that certain video. In the same time, in Google search page, when clicking on a link, all links were opening in the same tab.
    Now, after some of the latest updates of Firefox, I noticed that some default settings were changed - in Google search, clicking on a link always opens a link in a new tab. I have found out here on your forum how to set this back in about:config feature, and now I have again that links in a Google results page are opened in the same tab (that's the way I like it).
    But YouTube screens on this forum are now also being opened in the same tab, and that is what I don't like, and trying to change back.
    So, what I need: all links to open in the same tab after clicking, as I have it now, and YouTube screens (e. g. on this forum) to be opened in a new tab (by clicking on a small YouTube logo ("watch this video on YouTube").
    Pedantic I am, I know that, and I know that this may look silly to some people, but if there is a way to do something, please tell me.
    Thanks for answering, and best regards.
    P.S.
    Is it possible that forum updates changed my setting, and not the Firefox? Thanks again...

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.

  • I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

    I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

    Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
    First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
    Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
    One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.
