IDCS3 Windows: Finding a font style

I recently added a font style "Exp" to my Plantin family of fonts in InDesign CS3. The others all came in one package, but Plantin Exp I downloaded from another source. When I list the typefaces in InDesign from the bar at the top of the screen, 'Plantin' now appears twice: once with all the original styles, the second with just "Exp". That is manageable for manual work, but when scripting, and trying to find a character in Plantin Exp, the script misses it. There may be a fault in the installation of the new font style. Is there any way around this in scripting?

Inconsistent font style behavior on Edge Reflow CC (Preview) for Windows

Adobe Edge Reflow CC Preview for Windows has wildly inconsistent behavior regarding font styles. Why is there no button for bold in the UI? Why do I have to type "bold" into the Weighting dialog text box to have my styled text render as such in Chrome? Why does text inside a box/div styled with the italics button render in Reflow but not in Chrome?

Hey there,
The font weight can be changed here:
With CSS there are both text values such as "bold" and numerical values from 100-900 usually. We gave you the ability to use either.
If you are seeing issues with a font rendering set to italic in Reflow and not in previewing properly in Chrome, can you let me know the typeface you are using? I'd like to check it out as well.

I can't find the Fonts window.

The "help" document on formatting the text in a form using fonts mentions a font window, which it says can be accessed by clicking on "Show Fonts," which it says is buried under a popup menu named "Format," and can, in some programs, be accessed by clicking a button in either the toolbar or the settings panel.
I can't find the font window. Does this mean that the author the PDF disabled formatting?

If you only have Adobe Reader, no, it doesn't mean that. Those instructions are for Adobe Acrobat.

Can I set iWeb to automatically use my font/style/size?

Is there a way to get iWeb to automatically set the font, style and size that I want to use in my iWebpage? I want to use Optima. I went to the iWeb preferences menu but it does not mention fonts.
Last night I had to first delete all the examples in the iWebpage templates and then, thru the Fonts window, I had to click onto Optima, and then Regular, and then the size. I kept thinking about how lovely it would be if I were able to set some preferences from a different source and have the program automatically do overwrites in Optima.

iWeb doesn't remember your default choice like that
unfortunately. Are you finding that you use the same
template pages though? If so, you can just
preconfigure one with your choice of fonts and text
sizes. Then just keep it blank and use it as your
"template" by 1) removing it from being displayed in
the navigation menu and 2) by duplicating the page
(select it in the organizer and right-click or
control-click to select "duplicate").
It's probably easier to just make the changes when
you want.
James, thanks, and hi. I will end up using the Photo Album and the Welcome templates the most. The Welcome templates I will use as top level theme hyperlinks to all of the examples of said theme.
iWeb is a lot of fun.

Unable to search for font style Italic

In InDesign's Find/Change dialog, I click on the Find Format magnifying glass to open the Find Format Settings dialog. I click on the Basic Character Formats tab, and in the Font Style field I select 'Italic' from the dropdown menu. When I release the mouse button, the field displays 'Regular', not 'Italic'. If I key the word 'Italic' in the field, the same thing happens. The only way I've been able to get around this is to specify the Font Family as well, but I want to search for Italic Font Style regardless of the Font Family (there are several in the document). I haven't specified any other search details in either the Find/Change dialog or the Find Format Settings dialog. I'm currently using CS5.5 but I've experienced this problem dozens of times in both CS4 and CS5.5. I have a vague recollection of occasionally being able to do it, but if so it's been very rare.
Is there a reason why this is happening? Is there any way to search for Italic Font Style regardless of Font Family?

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks for the script, it worked fine, but on top of that it inadvertently revealed what is going on with this issue.
When I ran the script, the Find Format field in the Find/Change dialog showed '+Italic'. However, when I went into the Find Format Settings dialog, the Font Style field said 'Regular'. When I exited the Find Format Settings dialog, the Find Format field still said '+Italic'. The Find process worked fine, that is, it found text formatted as Italic.
I then went back to what I was originally doing, without using the script, and exactly the same thing happened. The two fields didn't match up, but the Find operation worked fine.
I'm currently working in CS5.5, but as I recently purchased CS6, I tried it in that program and exactly the same thing happened. And just to confirm my recollection, I tried it in CS4 and it happened there too.
I realise also why it has occasionally worked OK. Sometimes I would have entered Italic in the Font Style field and immediately clicked OK to exit the Find Format Settings dialog, and I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. But once I got used to the problem, I started to make a habit of tabbing out of the Font Style field 'just to make sure'. I would have seen it revert to Regular, and I would have just given up and (unnecessarily) worked my way through the font families one by one.
Anyway, now that I know what's going on, it's not a problem at all, but it's odd that it's persisted through at least three versions of InDesign. Thanks, Jongware, for your help.
Does this happen on Windows? Has anyone else on a Mac experienced this strange behaviour?

How to discover all available font styles for a given family?

I'm using InDesign CS3 and need to discover all of the available styles for any given font. I've found Application.Fonts.itemByName(), but this only returns a single font by the full name. Using ExtentScript in CS3 How can I ask for ALL font styles for any given font family (as displayed in the styles drop-down?)
Thanks!

hey,
I was just searching the web trying to find why this piece of code:
for (var i = 0; i <app.fonts.length;i++) {
app.fonts[i]..... some other code
take 4+ minutes to execute.
app.fonts.everyItem().getElements(); did the trick, sweet!!
However, I would like to ask you whether you know if there is some handout or some guide (possibly online page) for such advanced scripting...
or how did you find this solution?
thank you very much for this post, anyway

Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
BAI

Hi Nanda Kishore,
This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager. Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically. Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
Thanks,
Sastry

How to change header font style in Spark DataGrid?

I'm looking since last week for a way how to change the font style of the header in a Spark DataGrid. It drive me nuts that I can't find a way to do this. Have anyone one an idea how to achieve it? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
- Artur

Hi,
Some styles won't work because some text styles got hardcoded into the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer's Label. You'll run into this issue not just with the DataGrid headers but also things like the Panel's title and other places where we have text. One way to get around this issue is to create your own custom headerRenderer based on the default one and then redefine the headerRenderer skin part in the skin.
First, create a subclass of the DefaultGridHeaderRenderer and tweak the "labelDisplay" to your liking (or even just take out all the styles and style it on your own as you had earlier using your custom header renderer's name). Example below (I named it "CustomHeaderRenderer"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                 xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                                 xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                                 xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                                 xmlns:comps="comps.*">
    <fx:Declarations>
        
        <s:Label id="labelDisplay"
                 verticalCenter="1" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
                 textAlign="start"
                 verticalAlign="middle"
                 maxDisplayedLines="1"
                 showTruncationTip="true" />
    </fx:Declarations>
</skins:DefaultGridHeaderRenderer>
Next, create a simple DataGrid skin by creating a subclass of the spark.skins.spark.DataGridSkin in MXML and defining a new headerRenderer component in the fx:Declarations section. Example below (I named it "CustomDataGridSkin"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<skins:DataGridSkin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                xmlns:skins="spark.skins.spark.*"
                xmlns:comps="comps.*">
    <fx:Declarations>
        
        <fx:Component id="headerRenderer">
            <comps:CustomHeaderRenderer />
        </fx:Component>
    </fx:Declarations>
</skins:DataGridSkin>
Last, assign your new skin as the skinClass of your DataGrid (either in MXML or as a style):
<s:DataGrid skinClass="comps.CustomDataGridSkin">
I know it's not pretty, but it's the result of trading off between having completely custom skinning vs. having knobs to tweak every style. Hope this helps.

FINDER - Sidebar Font Size

FINDER - Sidebar Font Size
I'm using Mac OS X v10.5.8 & have been trying to find a way to I increase the font size in the sidebar of FINDER.
Has this actually been fixed or is there a 3rd party app that will allow me to do this much like in mail! but for FINDER!
I've noticed this has been asked many times but never officially answered.
thank you in Advance.

While those font sizes appear to be fixed, and perhaps there is a way to get into
the system via Terminal or some other super-user access, an easy utility to do so
does not appear to be readily available. If one is available, this feature is under
advertised or a sub-note hidden within.
I'd just been looking into 'Path Finder' by Cocatech, I did not see a reference to
this Sidebar Font size issue; yet did read into their Forums page to note a post
there asking about this situation. Since Path Finder is a retail product and adds
a new user Finder with extra capabilities (30 day demo) license is about $40.
No mention about their adding this; however many other controls are added.
(A Leopard 10.5 & Snow Leopard 10.6 version, plus older v. Tiger 10.4 appear.)
While their screen casts of features were a bit interesting to watch (in QT .mov)
http://cocoatech.com/screencasts - the specific ability to resize Finder sidebar is
not mentioned; although their custom Path Finder application has more controls.
Note they say their app can 'replace Finder' - so maybe they will offer their own fix.
So, this probably isn't a direct answer to the pending question or a fix.
Since I haven't had much time or access to Snow Leopard, I've no idea
if the newer system version has a control to adjust Finder's Sidebar Font.
I rarely use the Finder window within the desktop 'finder' and have avoided it;
that isn't something I'd found useful, though something similar has existed in
many Mac OS systems in some form, guise, or other applicable function.
In fact the wider busy finder/folder windows are more distracting than ever
starting in Leopard 10.5; so, that's more wasted screen space to try to ignore.
{Sure, I can say that while realizing the other kinds of access this may provide
the seasoned user who is already used to tiny words & extra feature functions.}
Not sure if tweaks in tools such as Titanium Software - OnyX may offer any
type of interface customization in this area. This can change a few things,
I've used this application since it was first available, in earlier v. OS X 10.x
while not being all that interested in making a mess of what has worked well.
Perhaps someone with command line or Terminal experience has already
blazed a trail into this jungle, and left some great bread crumbs to follow.
Maybe a nice Script has come from surveying & marking the path...?

How to copy a Specific Font Style from one instance to another?

I am using RoboHelp HTML V.7.
I need to change multiple instances of one style to another. Is there a way to assign a specific font style from one instance of the style to another location (like MS Word style painter), or add the specific style to a shortcut key, or add the specific style the toolbar, or any other suggestions which may expedite my plight?

Identify the "class=MyStyle" string in the MTML code, and use the Multi-File Find and Replace feature to step through each topic and change the specific instances to "class=MyOtherStyle." (I doubt that you'll want to "Replace All".)
Sorry, there's no silver bullet!
Good luck,
Leon

Line wrapping and font styles?

Hi,
If I have a piece of text which I would like to see line wrapped, and font styled, how should I do that?
javax.swing.JTextArea has the capabilities to set line wrapping to on.
javax.swing.JTextPane has the capabilities to set font styles like bold, italic and so on.
But what if you have a piece of text you don't know the (possible) length of (so you would like to have line wrapping), AND to which you want to apply font styles to. JTextArea and JTextPane are siblings, not ancestors. So I can't use it. I have looked in the code to see if I could use pieces of code in my own program. But not luck.
Do you have a suggestion for me?
TIA,
Abel

Create a new Font style format in pages

I have looked very hard in pages and I cant seem to find a setting to change the default fonts and settings. I have just created a document with the settings I want and I saved it as a dummy that I just duplicate when I want to work with pages. Is there a way to create a new font style format so that you can just choose that style and get your settings? I just don't see how its possible that there is not a way to edit the default settings in pages...

FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.
This script will help by clearing the font cache and will test for corrupted fonts.
This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.
This script doesn’t solve duplicate font name, but clears out your font cach . It it will solve some duplicate font style name issues such as the one in the link below.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4306828#4306828
There is a pdf file explaining how to use the script and what it will do.
See attached files.

Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.
