How do I organize Font Book fonts?

I want to get all my variations of a font into one font family in font book. For example, I want my light font, bold font, extra bold font ect. to all go under one name(under one side arrow) in font book instead of having each varitation its own arrow. When I use adobe illustrator I want to have it so there is only one name and then I can arrow over to look at all the different varations. How do I do this?

Could be many things, but it's best to start with these two steps, which may fix it also...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
Safe Boot... holding Shift key down at bootup. Safe Boot is a special way to start Mac OS X 10.2 or later when troubleshooting.

How to Change the Font Type for Printing Pocket Address Book?

I am new to the Mac and was entering in my contact info into the Address Book in hope of creating a Pocket Address Book (PAB). When I attempt to print out the PAB the default font is courier. When I click on "set" and access other font types, sizes, etc., I can't seem to find a way to apply or save the font type that I choose. In short, it stays as courier. I found an archived thread in a forum that suggests to validate the font I want - which I did and it was already validated - and otherwise I cannot seem to change it from courier. Any help on how to get the font I select to be applied instead of courier would be GREATLY appreciated!

You can also change it using the UIManager:
UIManager.put("OptionPane.foreground", Color.red);
UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.red);
For a complete list of all properties you can change for each component check out this program:

How do you add fonts in pages?

How do you add fonts and clip art in pages? I seem to have few fonts in pages. New to Mac. Thanks! Also seems that there is no clipart in pages? If there is, where can I find it?

On the Mac you add fonts to the System by double clicking on them, they then get opened in Font Book where you can open/close and organise them.
Most ClipArt offered with other applications is rubbish. Apple has left it to you to source your own, better material. This may help:

HT2435 How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout

How do I see fonts in a keyboard layout so I know which key to use to print a non-letter character, like in Wingdings,for example.

To add to Tom's excellent info. PopChar in its current form is unusable. At least if you're using non Unicode fonts, it is. You cannot in any way make it show you glyphs in a font that do not have Unicode values assigned to them, and that includes many Unicode fonts! As an example, here's Adobe's Caslon Pro Italic from Font Folio 11. It's a Unicode, OpenType font:
Note the large gap of glyphs with no Unicode value assigned to them between 02C7 and 00A4. None of those will ever appear in PopChar under any setting, so you would have no idea these swash, ligature, dingbat and other glyphs even exist. Ultra Character Map will show all of them.
This is just one of many, many Unicode fonts which contain glyphs without a Unicode value assigned to them.
I doubt you'll see a return to a Keyboard Viewer that will show the glyphs of a chosen font, so you'll have to rely on an app like Ultra Character Map, or (ugh!) Font Book so you can see all glyphs in one font.
Using the Character Viewer isn't a great choice. Yes, you can choose Dingbats to see all dingbats, but that's a concatenation of all dingbat glyphs. As I recall, it doesn't even tell you what font a dingbat is in when you select it. So if you have a half dozen or more such fonts open, you need to have all of them available all the time in order to be sure the one you chose is used in the document. Which means you also have to send every possible font that may include a dingbat you used to the printer to make sure they have it.

how do I set font default in aperture?
Do you want to change the size of the fonts or the shape for the fonts in the user interface or in the products (books, webpages)?
Aperture does not allow to change the fonts used in the graphical user interface, neither the size nor the shape. To change the fonts for the products (books, etc.), pick a theme with the fonts you like.

Question: how to install new fonts in Premiere on Mac

Someone, please tell me how to add new fonts in Adobe Premiere!
I use MacBookPro with OS X Lion.
As trying to add fonts reffering to the previous discussion like http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379742 ,
I realized that it was unavailable because I cound not see "Install New Font" in "Window".
Is there a good way to solve this problem?

In Mac OS X, double-clicking on a font file (i.e PostScript, Font Suitcase etc.) should launch the Font Book application, that window will have a Install Font button. You may have to Quit PrP and re-open for font to be available.

How is it that fonts in the Mac system can be damaged?

How is it that fonts in the Mac system can be damaged?
It does not hapen in PC systems, ever!
How do we go about replacing the damaged fonts?
I treid to delete and reinstall but no sucess.
Also, Mac systems can only have active about 250 fonts.
PC systems can have up to 1,000 fonts and run very smoothly with any hitches.
Any sloutions or recommendations?
Looks like I made a wrong choice.
I thought that Mac systems was very stable when it comes to graphic related applications, but it seems that I was WRONG.
A simple font base also Mac system cannot handle as well as a PC based system.
Sorry if I have offended other Mac users.
But, I would really like to continue using my Macbook Pro.
Cheers and Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

How is it that fonts in the Mac system can be damaged?
As ds store noted. Any file on any part of the drive can be damaged at any time. This is true of any OS, not just the Mac.
It does not happen in PC systems, ever!
Why in the world would you think that's true? I used DOS/Windows for years. Fonts on PCs get damaged too, for pretty much the same reasons.
How do we go about replacing the damaged fonts?
You can replace just the fonts from your Snow Leopard installation disk. See the bottom of my article, Font Management in OS X for instructions.
I tried to delete and reinstall but no success.
Not enough info. Reinstalled from where?
Also, Mac systems can only have active about 250 fonts.
I don't know where you read or heard that, but it's 100% wrong.
PC systems can have up to 1,000 fonts and run very smoothly with any hitches.
And I've had as many as 8500 active (for testing, I would never do it day to day). Do I win?
Any solutions or recommendations?
The most likely reason, assuming you replaced the fonts with known good copies is Font Book. Put bluntly, it's one of the worst font managers available. It's database is easily corrupted. When that happens, fonts that are marked as active in its interface won't appear in some, or all apps. You'll find you can't activate or deactivate fonts. Use these steps to clean Font Book up so it works.
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.
After the Mac finishes booting back to the desktop from Safe Mode, do the following to clear the rest of the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
Looks like I made a wrong choice.
As opposed to what? Dealing with viruses each and every day?
I thought that Mac systems was very stable when it comes to graphic related applications, but it seems that I was WRONG.
Boy, you sure know how to make people want to help you.
A simple font base also Mac system cannot handle as well as a PC based system.
Also flat out wrong. Fonts are simple. You add them and use them. Turn them off when you don't want them active. Learning and understanding a new OS is usually a good idea before you start trashing it.
If problems return soon after resetting Font Book with the notes above, then you most likely installed junk fonts. Free fonts are worth what you paid for them and are the number one source of such problems on both Macs and PCs.
Secondly, get rid of Font Book. If you use and manage fonts every day, get a professional manager. Suitcase Fusion 4 and FontExplorerX Pro are your best choices.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

How do I change font and colors back to default?

I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

Hi Brenda19605,
You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
The default settings for the font are in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
Let me know if you need anymore help!

In mail, how do you increase font sizes in a reply. Cannot find things like "underline", "italic" etc either. Where are they? Entourage was easier!!

How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

Hello,
I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
Any help is appreciate it.
Thanks.

This is how you do it
Font
DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
Font Mapping Set
DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'
