How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

  • How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external HD, on my iMac ?

    How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external Hard Drive, on iMac?  "Not enough storage??" is message that appears.

    How much free storage do you have on your iMac's system drive and on the external hard drive?
    And how have you been trying to open the library?  Do not import the library into iPhoto.
    You simply connect the hard drive with the library and double-click the iPhoto library on the external drive to open it in iPhoto. That will work, if you are using iPhoto 9.6, the only version of iPhoto, that is compatible with MacOS X 10.10.
    Or hold down the alt/options key while double clicking the iPhoto icon. This will bring up a library chooser panel.  Select your library on the external drive.
    If the iPhoto Library has been created by an older version of iPhoto it will need to be upgraded to the new version, and that may require temorary additional free storage on your system drive and the drive with the library.
    If the library has been created by iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier, you need to install and run iPhoto Library Upgrader, see:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

  • How to open a JSP page from a form ??? plz help

    hi ..
    i want to know how to open a jsp page from a oracle apps form using a button .
    the requirement is that whenever we click on the button created on the form, it opens a jsp page.
    plz help me ..its urgent !! :-(

    In portlet project, to navigate between pages, you should not use the URL property to link to a page. Instead, portlets use navigation via action handling. You use the Page Navigation editor to set up links to pages; that is, the navigation editor sets the action property.
    Here is an example to hyperlink ans button to open a new page:
    # From within the IDE, create a new portlet project. This action creates the project and one page, PortletPage1.jsp.
    # Create a second portlet page, called PortletPage2.jsp, for the project.
    # Drop a Hyperlink component onto the first portlet page, PortletPage1. (You can drop the Hyperlink on the page in the Design window or on the PortletPage1 node in the Outline window.) Change the Hyperlink's text property to Next Page.
    # Drop a Button component (found in the Basic section of the Palette) onto the second portlet page, PortletPage2.
    # Open the Page Navigation Editor. It displays the two pages (PortletPage1.jsp and PortletPage2.jsp) of the application.
    # Click the PortletPage1.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from hyperlink1 to PortletPage2.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page2.
    # Click the PortletPage2.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from button1 to PortletPage1.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page1.
    # Run and deploy the portlet. The browser displays PortletPage1 and you should see the Next Page hyperlink. When you click the Next Page hyperlink, the Apache Pluto Portal server displays PortletPage2. Click the Page2 button to return to PortletPage1.

    How I can disable unnecessary fonts from the font menu?
    I'm so frustrated to always browse the kilometer-long font menu. There are Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts. I will never need these fonts!
    The platform is the iMac and Maverics. Illustrator is a version CS6. All software is the latest version of.
    I get off some of these fonts using Apple's Font Book, but still there will be unnecessary Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts.
    I also have Suitcase Fusion 4, but that doesn't help in this case because I can't disable system fonts etc. I also tried the "Monolingual" software. Monolingual is a software for removing unnecessary language resources from OS X. But still I see many foreign language fonts in font menu.

    How top Open a Excel Document  from share point document library using jquery

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
    To open excel file, we can use the following code.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function openExcel(strFilePath) {
    var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
    openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
    function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
    var objExcel;
    objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
    objExcel.Visible = true;
    objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
    </script>

  • How to embed the needed fonts in a pdf file

    Dear Sir/Mam,
    We had purchased licenced version of adobe acrobat x pro
    We are facing issues while embedding the font in the pdf file
    Please find the below mentioned requirement
    Requirement:
    We have a pdf file (template) with some static images and static text in it
    We need to populate dynamic data in the pdf file for this we may use text boxes
    We need to set the font name for the text box and embed that font in the pdf template (Eg:Font to be used in textboxes is "RotisSansSerif-Bold")
    Queries
    Please let us know how to embed the needed fonts in the pdf file?
    Once user exports the pdf file, even if user doesnot have the fonts installed in his system the text need to be displayed in the same fonts,how to acheive this?Eg:if we define "RotisSansSerif-Bold" as font in the textboxes,after exporting the data the text need to be in the same font.
    Note:
    Fonts will only installed in the application server and not in the client system
    The mentioned requirement need to work on below mentioned specifications
    OS:Windiows-XP,  Browser:IE
    OS:Mac osx, Browser:Safari
    Regards,
    S.N.Prasad

    There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.
