HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
*Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
*Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
*Press Yes

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

Helvetica problems, Finder has to be relaunched, Text Edit not working (?)

I'm having serious problems lately
and all these problems happen suddenly at the same time.
Helvetica Neue is causing serious problems,
mainly with Quark 6 or 7 but with other
programs also. Like in Quark 6, the font looks
jagged on screen but prints ok
(I remember in Classic there were font suitcases
which caused this problem when the screen font was missing,
isn't this problem impossible in Mac OS X ??!!?).
Certain applications cannot launch anymore (TextEdit,
CD Finder). Now I know that certain programs will not
work if certain fonts do not function properly or are not installed.
I tried deleting my fonts are reinstalling new ones, but the problem persists.
And, I don't want to play around with system fonts too much,
knowing that deleting certain font can seriously impair the operating system.
Now, Dealing with Helvetica Neue is very, very difficult.
I think Apple made a major error in creating its own Helvetica
with the same font number.
*What can I do (simply!) to clean ALL my hard drive of Helvetica fonts,*
*and keep only 1 copy for everything ?*
Also, everytime, I have to relaunch the Finder after starting, otherwise
I will not see folders and files on the desktop. And iTunes says it can't
find the iTunes Music folder (it's there, where it always was) if I use the dock
(draging a mp3 to the iTunes icon on the dock). But if I click on the hard drive,
get the file and double click on it, iTunes starts fine.
Aren't all these problems related to fonts ? Bad fonts used by the Finder, Dock ?
Thanks

(I remember in Classic there were font suitcases which caused this problem when the screen font was missing, isn't this problem impossible in Mac OS X ??!!?).
If you're referring to Type 1 PostScript fonts, then they don't work if the screen font for a typeface is missing. The printer outline portions of a T1PS font cannot work alone in any way.
I tried deleting my fonts are reinstalling new ones, but the problem persists.
It's possible other fonts on the system are damaged, or you've removed others the OS or other applications need. At the bottom of the article Sean linked to, you'll find the instructions on how to restore just the fonts from your OS X installation disks.
To get things back to square one:
1) Create a new folder on your desktop. Move all fonts in the /Library/Fonts/ folder and the Fonts folder within your user account into the new folder. Leave the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder alone.
2) Restore the fonts from the OS X install disk.
3) Follow the steps in Undoing Font Book. Note that you will lose any font collections you have created. Doing this will also clear the font cache files for your user account. Since Font Book's database is reset, all fonts in any Fonts folder will be active, regardless of their state beforehand.
4) Download and Font Finagler to clear the rest of the font cache files from your system that a Safe Mode boot doesn't.
I think Apple made a major error in creating its own Helvetica with the same font number.
OK, I'll read the whole thing again.
No need. Read section 5 for the information you need to get Apple's Helvetica fonts out of the way.
Also, everytime, I have to relaunch the Finder after starting, otherwise I will not see folders and files on the desktop. And iTunes says it can't find the iTunes Music folder (it's there, where it always was) if I use the dock (draging a mp3 to the iTunes icon on the dock). But if I click on the hard drive, get the file and double click on it, iTunes starts fine.

Much more likely, permissions errors at minimum (run Repair Permissions with Disk Utility), or the OS is damaged, which can of course only be repaired by reinstalling.

Timing of text box will not appear. My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

Timing of text box not working. I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear. And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show. Help anyone.

Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

HT2509 Font Book vs Mountain Lion issue

Font Book keeps crashing as soon as it loads now that I have installed Mountain Lion. Is there a Font Book update that I need? I currently have Font Book 4.1
Using a 27" iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with wireless keyboard. Don't seem to be able to do a Safe Reboot either.

You were right; corrupt fonts. Reloaded all fonts but did not validate any with issues. Seems to be fine now.
Until I need them again, of course. Which, most probably, will be in the near future.
Thanks for your help. I will persevere with Mountain Lion until something else goes haywire. Not impressed so far.

HT2509 Font Book 3.0 in OSX 10.7.4

I installed some fonts and now have 1148 installed, many of which I wish to remove. However, Font Book 3.0 freezes on loading so I am unable to proceed. Your assistance is much appreciated. I am running OSX 10.7.4.

That's generally too many fonts for Font Book to handle. It's intended to be a light use font manager for the average user.
That, and the fact that it hung again while building a new database is a very sure sign that at least one of the fonts is damaged badly enough to make FB croak. When that happens, its database is damaged again, and the only way to fix it is to start over with the instructions above.
Make a folder on your desktop and move all of the fonts out of your user account into that folder. Then repeat the above steps. With what should only be the fonts installed by the system on your hard drive left, Font Book should then finish loading successfully.
Are those all, or most of them, free fonts? If so, free fonts are the number one cause of headaches like this. They're free because that's all they're worth. Not that there aren't some well built free fonts out there, but they are in the serious minority.
Figuring out which of those you have are junk involves adding a block of them at a time to Font Book and seeing if it dies. If it does, you know at least one font in that last group is no good.
You could also purchase a better font manager and ditch Font Book. I recommend either Suitcase Fusion 4, or FontExplorer X Pro. Both have built in font checking and will flag bad ones. I know Font Book does too, but it's not nearly as good. With SF4 or FEX Pro, you can check the fonts before adding or activating them.

SQL Window Text Edits Not Working

I've been using SQL Developer 1.5.1 for some time now and it has worked great. Just recently, I'm not able to do simple text edits in the SQL window. I run sql queries constantly and have had to go back to an older version of SQL Developer. I have no idea what I may have done to cause this.
I can type in the sql window, but I cannot move my cursor to any part of the entered text. I cannot move to a new line [Enter key], or back space, or delete text. I can highlight text and delete it, but simple text edits do not work.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there a known cause and/or fix?
I have no idea on how to uninstall this version and reinstall it. I've tried deleting the files and re-running the zip, but my old settings are still present.
Help?

I had exactly the same problem and the Tools/Options/Accelerator/Load Preset fixed it. Thanks a lot!!!!

How do i restore my text so that all words are uniform in darkness?Now some letters are fragmented or missing a part of it and see odd characters instead of letters in some sentences.Ive tried different fonts in the Options still the same.Would like to
be able to restore my default settings for text/fonts.Would that eliminate this problem?

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

Sir,

Did you create a new profile for that 4.0 beta version?
Do you still have the regular Firefox 3.6.8 version installed?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Newly placed images not showing up and Text Styles not previewing correctly

I was playing around with defining new text styles and they
looked OK in Dreamweaver but when previewed in browser everything
was in Times. I deleted all the pre-set styles trying to fix the
problem out why when I realized now newly placed images don't show
up in preview, but old images will. I can copy and paste an
existing image and it will show, but not if I place it new. When
trying to Manage Site, I kept getting a "Home page is not on
this...." message. Please help me figure out what I have
done!!!

>Home page is not on this...
Several possibilities spring to mind the first of which is
you haven't
defined your site properly or at all
>previewed in browser everything was in Times
a link to your stylesheet has an incorrect path
>realized now newly placed images don't show up in
preview,
they should, defined site again?
If you have a URL we could see the code?
If not can you post the code here, otherwise these are all
guesses

Acr 9 Pro: Text editing stopped working

Out of the blue, the ability to highlight or underline text in pdf documents stopped working. I have tried different documents with the same issue. Tried a software upgrade/install, computer reboot, etc etc. Ideas?

No. But the red arrow and line tools still work. I just tried the text highlights on a random document and it worked.. but many of my documents, it doesn't work. All of the documents are research studies downloaded from a college library.

Converting .docx files to .eps and keeping the text editable (not outlines)?

I'm trying to batch convert a number of .docx files that each contain figures that have been created in Word (boxes, lines etc) in Acrobat 9 Pro to .eps.
I can create an .eps, using the document processing (batch processing) route, but when I open the files in Illustrator CS5 all of the editable text in the document has been converted to outlines. Ideally, I want to keep the text in the figure editable (and to create a slightly smaller file size)
I have checked the convert from PDF settings for Encapsulated PostScript and it shows 'Convert Text to Outlines' as false, the transparency settings have also been setup not to convert to outlines), can anyone help?

My thinking behind doing it via Acrobat 9 Pro was that I could take say 20 .docx files and via the document process function automatically convert them straight to .eps without having to make the PDF first. I also find using this route that I have an .eps that is already cropped to the four edges of the images (with no hidden characters making the image frame larger than the actual four edges of the figure).
When I import a PDF into Illustrator, I find that I'm getting the end of paragraph (hidden) markers from Word appearing (normally at the end of the image in Word, and some also appear before the figure where the author has hit return a few times). I then have to manually remove them so that the artboard fits to the four edges of the image. I guess I'm just trying to save a little time without having to go back into 20+ files and tidy them up by removing this character.

Fonts...font manager....font book

Hi,
Okay....I know that quite a bit has been written on this subject in these forums, but finding the exact problem I have, has been quite difficult. Here's the scoop-------
1) Situation: I want to install Font Agent Pro. In fact I bought it and it is already done deal. To me this is a very cool app.
2) Problem: I need/want to disable Font Book.
3) Why it seems to be a problem: When I follow the steps to disable font book......well frankly it just doesn't work. The darn thing is STILL there working!
4) Other things I have tried: I trashed font book (as recommended in these forums). Unfortunately this caused a beachball from Hades to spin eternally near the Spotlight menu bar area.
5) What to do: I just want to disable font book w/o any problems. Any ideas????????
Just some suggestions would be really welcome. Thanks
jabberwock

Hi jabberwock,
The only way to disable Font Book is to delete it, which you did. While the issue with Spotlight certainly seems to be related, since it started right after you trashed Font Book, that just shouldn't happen.
When you say trashing Font Book caused the spinning beach of death, did you then put Font Book back on your system? If not, it could be that OS X is trying to enable/disable the fonts that were being controlled by Font Book's database. But can't because the main application is missing.
Follow the steps in Undoing Font Book. This will remove/reset Font Book's database. Doing this will also clear the system's font cache files.
