  • How to install fonts in indesign cs5 mac

    My designer sent me some fonts for a document they created for me, but I have been unable to figure out how to install the fonts. Google search and adobe search and still I am not able to figure this out. I am using macintosh os 10.64.
    Can someone provide any guidance?

    If you've already searched Google for something like "install fonts on mac 10.6" and have followed the instructions on the first link (under "Locations where fonts can be stored") then you'll have to post more details for us to help you. For example:
    Which fonts are they? (Not all fonts can be used by a Mac, like Type 1 fonts for Windows. Give us the complete name of the font, hopefully with a file extension.)
    How do you know they are missing? (Sure, when you open up the document it gives you a missing font warning, but it might just be a font naming problem, like InDesign is looking for "Helvetica Neue LE Regular" and your font is called "Helvetica Neue Regular." You can use Find Font under the Type menu to find & replace if necessary. If you don't see the missing font warning when you open the file, how do you know the fonts are missing?)
    Where have you tried to install them? (There's quite a few places to install a font on a Mac; have you tried any of them? It's worth pointing out that installing multiple copies of fonts in multiple locations can cause fonts to not be read in some circumstances.)
    What version of InDesign are you using? (If it's CS5 and there's a "Document Fonts" folder in the same folder as the InDesign document you're trying to open, then InDesign is supposed to be able to read them, but sometimes it borks up and you have to move or delete the Document Fonts folder in order to get it to work.)
    and there are other minor possibilities like
    What languages are the fonts supposed to support? (InDesign puts its Chinese, Arabic etc. fonts all the way at the bottom of its window)
    and
    Are you sure that the fonts aren't damaged? (What size are the files? Are they still in a zipped folder? Maybe they were broken when you downloaded them from your email.)
    et cetera

  • Help! forgot how to install fonts

    I forgot how to install fonts in 10.3.9. Using Fontbook 1.0.2. The Help files tell me to open Fontbook>File>install. My Version shows File>add fonts. Doesn't do it. Can I still drag fonts to closed fonts folder?
    Since the fonts were sent e-mail by a client to use on the job, unzipping gave me little black screen icons (look like little, tiny gray screens with OSX in the corner). Is this why they won't work? Did zipping them corrupt them?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    astromonkey

    hi,
    i had this same scenario before.
    unzipping gave you little black screen icons? you can try adding extensions to their file names like the usual fonts.
    or do they have 0kb size? if then, something went wrong in the zipping process.
    hope this helps

    how to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

    But the current AppStore version needs MacOS 10.7.5 or 10.8.2; there is no way to install it on Snow Leopard. The Trial version can be installed, but you need to purchase a serial number, and that you will find only with the retail version in the box.

  • How can install fonts in the new version of Pages? Como instalo fuentes en la nueva versión de Pages?

    Hi All there:
    I can´t belive it, but the new version of Pages (5.0), is very very different than the old version, fonts, templates and others stuffs can´t work.
    Please, what can we do . . . We need read the manual, or that situation is for the changes and you work in there?
    Comment please, we need your help.
    PS. How can install fonts (fonts presents in the old version) for the new version?
    Hola a todos:
    No puedo creerlo, pero la nueva versión de Pages (5.0), es muy muy diferente a la versión anterior, fuentes, plantillas, formatos y otras cosas no funcionan en la nueva versión.
    Por favor, que podemos hacer... Necesitamos leer el manual, o eta situación es por los cambios y están trabajando en ello?
    Comenten por favor, necesitamos su ayuda.
    PD. Como instalo fuentes (fuentes presentes en la verrsión anterior) para la nueva versión?

    Yes Pages 5 is very different and has many features and templates missing.
    You do not install fonts in Pages, you install them in the System. Purchase/Download them and double click on them to install.
    The manual for Pages 5 is online. Click on the link under the Help menu.

  • How to install minilyrics in Mac OS x 10.7?

    Hi Guys,
      Anyone can tell  How to install minilyrics in Mac OS x 10.7?Or Any player for mp3 +lyrics.

    You're problem isn;t with the install of Putty, you haven;t even gotten to that yet. You're problem is with updating MacPorts.
    Is this the first time you have installed and try to run MacPorts? Have you installed the correct version of MacPorts for your OS version? Do you have Xcode and the command line tools installed?
    Also there is this from the MacPorts page
    Selfupdate
    If you already have MacPorts installed and have no restrictions to use the rsync networking protocol (tcp port 873 by default), the easiest way to upgrade to our latest available release, 2.3.1, is by using the selfupdate target of the port(1) command. This will both update your ports tree (by performing a sync operation) and rebuild your current installation if it's outdated, preserving your customizations, if any.
    Make sure the port required is opened also.
    regards

    You will have to reinstall OS X. In the future ignore such things. Don't click on any links or dial any phone numbers. They are all phishing scams.
    Deleting Safari was not a solution.

  • How to install fonts from CS3 into CS5?

    At work I often need the font DIN which was installed with our version CS3. At home I have CS5 and I do not know how to install the needed fonts. I packed the relevant file with the fonts and other links into a directory but how can I install the fonts at my personal computer using Windows. When using a Mac it was quite easy to install the font, I just click at the font within the directory "fonts" and with another click on "install" I got the font. My PC however asks me which programme I want the file to open with - but which one should it be? It can't be Word, Photoshop, IrfanView or whatever. So what do I do? Can anybody please help me?

    Well.. there are many different kinds of font files out there. Some of them advertise the type of font in the filename, e.g.
    DINBold.otf
    DINBold.ttf
    DINBold.pfm
    DIN.dfont
    DIN.ttc
    and so on.
    Others, typically Mac fonts, don't have a file extension that tells us what kind of file it is. Of those Mac fonts, there's one kind that you can't use on Windows at all, because when you look at it in Windows the size is zero kilobytes. The fact that, at some point in the past, you moved a file from Mac to Windows without font problems does not make a platform-compatibility problem any more or less likely - perhaps it was all set in fonts you already had installed at home. The fact that right now it doesn't work in the Document Fonts folder makes me believe that you may have a Mac font resource fork problem - that's what would make the filesize 0k. If your fonts don't have file extensions (or if you have file extensions hidden by Windows, which is the way Win7 works by default) then you can't really know what kind of font file it is. Looking at the Properties of the font file will tell you, though.
    Lastly: since you don't own an (extra) license for the font, you'd be ripping off the font developers by installing it on your home computer, although obviously not intentionally.

  • I'm having problems installing fonts in MAC

    I have downloaded a free font.. is a .ttf file.. i double click the file the
    i click on INSTALL FONT (instalar tipo de letra) and then this windows appear
    but the new font is not there... i have search the font in the folder [User]/library/font
    and the new font is there when i double click appears the first windows again asking to install the font.
    I have installed many fonts before and i had no problem.. i dont understand why now i cant install any font..
    i think could be a problem with some permissions or something like that.
    Does anybody knows how i can fix this?

    3lii
    Yes, I ran into the same problem.  Mine is a fairly old (3 or 4 years) Mac Book, and I'm guessing that it came this way from the factory.  I don't think I have ever reformatted this hard drive.
    And when I opened up Disk Utility, it was not immediately clear how to enable the journaling, as Im used to selecting the pick list, and that was not budging.
    But under File there is a Enable Journaling option, and if you select the partition in Disk Utility, that option should become black and selectable.
    If you do that, then Journaling will start.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

    I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."  
    From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
    After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
    Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?

    My Windows copy is a X64.
    MBP mid 2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
    Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
      Processor Speed:          2.5 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          MBP91.00D3.B08
      SMC Version (system):          2.2f41
    Should have:
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
    MacBookPro9,2
    MBP91.00D3.B08 (EFI 2.9)
    If you are refering to this I tried to update the EFI version (I see only SMC version 2.9 as a diferrence of what I have)  but on installing I received an error: "This software is not supported on your system."
