InDesign CS3 showing all available fonts

I have a user with Adobe InDesign CS3 and Extensis Fusion 12.1.7 running on a MacBook Pro 17" and OS 10.4.11. A small window, in the bottom-right of the screen, has a tab named <Character> that allows you to choose a font. When clicking on the double-arrow all fonts on the computer are displayed. The user would like this to only display fonts activated by Fusion - is this possible? I know better than to disable any fonts in /Library/Fonts or /System/Library/Fonts.

I don't understand that business about a <Character> tab, but I do know that InDesign does not let you pick and choose which fonts to display in its Font menu. Unless there is a plug-in that I don't know about.

CS2 Not reading all available fonts

Hello,
I just purchased a new Dell with an XP Professional Downgrade software package and have installed my CS2 Creative Suite on it.
When I open either Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, it appears many standard fonts (found in Control Panel / Fonts) , including 'Arial Black' are not available, though on my Adobe Acrobat Professional they are. (They are also available in my Microsoft Word Software).
I have read a few adobe trouble reports of this being a problem in InDesign, but the problems there are not what I am having.
When I open up say Photoshop and create a document, in the available fonts, my first choice begins with 'Agency FB', followed by 'Algerian', then 'Arial', and then 'Arial Rounded'. This is the same in Illustrator and InDesign.
Yet in Adobe Acrobat, missing fonts such as 'Arial Black', 'Arial Narrow' are available.
Also, in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts ..... there are fonts there that are available in Adobe Acrobat, but not in my Photoshop, like Adobe Caslon Pro.
Anyone have any ideas as to why my Photoshop, Illustator or InDesign are not reading all available fonts?
Again, I transferred my CS2 from an older computer to a Dell that is equipped with Windows Vista Business with the Downgrade to Windows XP Professional.
I know CS2 is not compatible with Windows Vista, but I was under the understanding that the Downgrade to Windows XP Pro would give me a Windows XP Pro Operating system, avoiding the problem of my CS2 not being compatible with Windows Vista.
Everything else appears to be working properly (as far as I can see)
Thanks in advance for any help / insight / solutions.

Show all available episodes of a subscribed podcast without downloading?

I have the podcasts I am subscribed to set to automatically download any new episodes, and automatically delete them once they have been listened to/watched. This works well enough, but when they are deleted, those particular episodes are no longer listed in the available episodes. I know I can click "show all available episodes", but when I do that, they are automatically downloaded again. iTunes apparently thinks they are new, and that I haven't listened to them yet. Is there any way to maintain a current list of all available episodes in my subscribed podcasts? There are older episodes (ones that haven't been downloaded since I have subscribed) still in the list, that iTunes apparently doesn't consider new, but any that have been downloaded and listened to since subscribing, are removed from the list when auto-deleted, and I can't get them back in the list without them being automatically downloaded again. I hope this makes sense. I tried to contact apple support, and the guy that replied had no idea what I was talking about. I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

I think you misunderstood my question. What I want to do is have ALL available episodes in the list, even the ones that I have downloaded (automatically because I am subscribed), listened to, and deleted (also automatically because I have it set to delete played episodes). I just want a complete list of episodes including the ones I have already heard, but those episodes, once auto-deleted, are no longer listed, and if I "show all available podcasts", they are downloaded again.

Why does "show all available episodes" fail to do that?

I have been able to do this before but now, on all podcasts, 'Show all available episodes' displays nothing.
What have I done wrong?

Applescript for iTunes: "show all available episodes"?

I use the script "Update Expired Podcasts" from Doug's iTunes Scripts (http://dougscripts.com/423).
In order to circumvent a bug (IMHO) in iTunes, I would like to do "show all available episodes" (in the right-click menu) for each of the podcasts in the list, before actually downloading the latest episode.
Could some kind person please explain to me what the correct applescript command for that would be?
I have already searched the net, and I have also searched the dictionary in Applescript Editor, to no avail.
Regards,
Gabriel.

Apparently this still isn't a thing? Figured I'd ask again for myself and the 19 other people who also have this question.

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

InDesign CS3 script that changes fonts on open

Hello.
I am trying to come up with a script that would change a specific group of fonts, that will always show up missing, to the new font. Basically, it is a bunch of our postscript fonts that are now using our open type font. Below is what I have so far. I want to create a list that goes through about 8 fonts that are old and replace them on the fly with the 8 new fonts. This would be great if I could have this happen on open.
Can anyone see what I have and offer some guidance?
thanks
babs
Open this Scriplet in your Editor:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
   set find text preferences to nothing
   set change text preferences to nothing
   tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
       set OLDfont to {"times", "arial"}
       set NEWfont to {"times new roman", "helvetica"}
       --set find what of find text preferences to testString
       tell document 1
           repeat with swap from 1 to 2
               set NEWfont to item swap of OLDfont
           end repeat
       end tell
   end tell
end tell

For starters, you're going to have to use the correct font names, including correct capitalization. The property you want to change is "applied font", not "find what". And it would probably be more sensible, to go through all paragraph and character styles and make the changes there first, otherwise you'll have troubles again every time you edit stuff.
So start off by getting the name of the font used in every paragraph style, and loop through your list to see if they should be changed. Do the same for character styles. And then do the find/change to find any that have been applied manually.

InDesign CS3 no longer seeing font

We have a project we just finished which was worked on at different times on three different computers, all InD CS3, Windows XP. The project uses the Britannic Bold TTF font with which we had no trouble during production and a completed / final PDF has gone to the client.
Now, however, when opening the files on any computer InD thinks it needs the OTF version of that font. The font file hasn't changed nor has anything on those machines related to InDesign, they're all running the latest version of CS3.
The only thing that HAS possibly updated on those computers is Acrobat 9. Is it possible that InD could be affected by THAT?
I've seen similar posts about TTF showing as an OTF and I understand that a .TTF file can be an OTF "flavor" font but I've not seen anything else where InD changed (in effect) the type of font it was "seeing."
Reassigning the font that InD thinks is an OTF with the TTF font doesn't seem to change anything but I'd like to avoid this problem in the future.
Just now noticed that the OTF that InD thinks is missing its showing as "Regular" but the TTF shows as "Bold" in the InD menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the Best,
Ken

I'm suddenly getting this "AMT Subsystem Failure" message. I've been using CS3 without any problems for at least a year and I haven't made any system changes for a while so there is no ready explanation why this error message would suddenly appear. I was using Dreamweaver CS3 yesterday and it was fine. The only thing I've done today is install a java application used to bid in eBay.
I visited the adobe forum for MacOS related to this problem and the adobe support article ( http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402004.html )
says to enure that all Adobe and Flexnet services are running and I checked this in my admin tools - > services and they're fine. I really dislike it when software vendors like adobe tell you to re-install your whole bloody suite. It's a real cop-out on their part. I will keep looking for a solution to this stupid and annoying error message.

How to show all available podcast episodes in iTunes 11.2.2

Since I upgraded iTunes to 11.2.2, I can no longer view a list of all available podcast episodes. It used to be available from a right-click on the name of the podcast itself.
For example, I subscribe to PBS Frontline audiocasts. I had deleted an old episode that I wanted to hear again. When the option wasn't available, I unsubscribed, deleted all old files, then re-subscribed. Now only the latest episode appears and there's no option for showing or downloading old episodes. I can't seem to even find the settings that instruct iTunes whether to download "latest" or "all" episodes.
Any idea what's become of these commands? Have they been removed or tucked away in some other place on the interface or menus?
Thanks.

Hey SteveFH,
In iTunes 11.2.2 you can find what was previously called "all available episodes" now in the My Podcasts tab.
How?
(1) In the iTunes Sidebar (the list of folders on the left-hand side that shows folders like Music, Movies, Podcasts, etc.) click on Podcasts.
(2) Just under the iTunes Toolbar click on the My Podcasts tab
(3) Select the podcast name you wish to work with
(4) With the podcast you wish to work with selected, click on the Feeds link in the Title area.
(5) Click the cloud icon of each podcast episode you wish to download.
Note: Some of the names I've given to things in iTunes may be my own and you may need to reread these instructions if I've gotten the specific names of things wrong, such as 'Title area', etc. But you should be able to follow along well enough.
Best Wishes!

My auru script to show all available updates with versions and install

So, I decided to hack together a little script that might be useful to someone else too. I wanted to script that would show me all available updates, from from the official repos as well as from the aur. I also wanted to see at a glance what the installed versions of each package and the new version to be installed are.
The output looks something like this:
[shaun@shaun-asus-x202e ~]$ auru
Available updates from core:
vlc 2.1.2-2 2.1.2-3
Available updates from AUR:
ansible 1.4.3-1 1.4.4-1
Would you like to install all updates without further prompting?
y/n->
Here's the code that I put into a dropbox shared file called arch_functions and source it from ~/.bashrc. Replace the test_apacman function and associated commands with aur wrapper of choice. Once this is in place, I simply run auru once a day on all my machines and I get all the information I need, and only press a y or n in order install all updates.

For someone with a username like yours I would have expected better. I guess you are not a "tech guy" at all. After a while Apple improves the hardware, and updates iOS to take advantage of the features and speed of the newer hardware. Older devices are simply incapable of taking advantage of the newer features, because the hardware doesn't support it. There's a lot of advice posted in the forum from people who warn that you shouldn't upgrade an iPhone 4S to iOS 8, because it kills the performance. If that's true, imagine how iOS 8 must perform on an iPhone 4.
By your reasoning I should be able to run Windows 10 on a 1985 IBM PC. The only reason you can't is because Microsoft had a deal with hardware manufacturers to force people to get new computers.
Or are you arguing that Apple should never improve hardware, because it will leave users of older phones in the lurch?

How to show all available fields in the SQL Worksheet's Code Assist pop-up

I have table with many fields and wanted to scroll through the fields list by typing something like:
select a. from test a
The Code Assist pop-up (after the 'a.') that shows the field list shows '...' as last available field before '*'. Many fields are not shown on the pop-up. I have to click on the '...' field to tell the pop-up to refresh itself with a full list of fields. Is there a way that I can configure SQL Worksheet to always show all fields on the pop-up, instead of having to select '...' on every attempt to add a field to the select SQL?

Sure, happens to everyone ;)
Not the case here, but often the OP gives credit to the first to respond rather than acknowledging everyone's effort and time invested, which of course is independent from posting order. Add that to the nicely conceived, but badly implemented reward point system. Should have moderators for that to work as it should. Sooo many questions remain unanswered and/or unrewarded. I even think you're the most underrated helping hand on the forum. Let's hope time will rectify all that...

List View Web part not showing all available views for list

We have added a list view web part to a page, and we get the "Current View" link in the web part...which is configurable when modifying the actual web part.
What we'd like to see (instead of having to click the ellipses button/context menu to get the other views) is the views displayed horizontally like when you are viewing the list itself.
When viewing the list itself, we see "All Items" "View 1" "View 2", etc.
Is this possible in the list view web part to display all available views in a horizontal/breadcrumb layout? Please advise.

The below works via alert, just need to now assign data to a <DIV> or element for display.
Trying this in simple webpart code snippet to get back all views:
    <script>
    var viewCollection = null;
        function runCode() {
            var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
                var web = clientContext.get_web();
                var listCollection = web.get_lists();
                var list = listCollection.getByTitle("MyListName");
                this.viewCollection = list.get_views();
                //var viewInfo = new SP.ViewCreationInformation();
                //viewInfo.set_title('MyView');
                //this.viewCollection.add(viewInfo);
                clientContext.load(this.viewCollection);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
        function onQuerySucceeded() {
            var viewInfo = 'Tasks list current views: \n\n';
            var viewEnumerator = this.viewCollection.getEnumerator();
            while (viewEnumerator.moveNext()) {
                var view = viewEnumerator.get_current();
                viewInfo += view.get_title() + '\n';
            alert(viewInfo);
        function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
            alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    </script>
    <a onclick='return runCode();'>Click here</a>

Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Report not showing all available fields

I am running CR2008 against MS SQL Express. I have several tables with fields and data in them and can create standard reports to show all the data in all the fields. However, when I try to create a cross-tab report, only some of the fields appear for me to choose from.
I created a standard report with all the fields I needed in my cross-tab report and ran a preview. Everything was there. I then added a cross-tab object, selected the tables only to find that fields that are in the main report are not showing up for selection in the cross-tab.

UPDATE: I exported the entire database from MS SQLExpress to MS Access and I am having the same issues, so it does not appear to be a problem with the database engine and, since the standard tabular reports show the fields, I am at a loss as to why they don't show up in the cross-tab or the Parameter fields.
I am creating the cross-tab through the Cross-Tab wizard. Is there maybe a bug in that? Is there a way to create it otherwise?

SMB share not showing all available files

Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy

I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kieran

excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)
(not sure if I posted this...lost an open window for a few minutes :o

FCE Won't show all my fonts

I want to use MyriadPro Semi bold but I can only select MyriadPro. Everything under the Myriadpro family is not showing up and they are turned on - other applications can see them. Any clues anyone?
It was working fine until i did full system and applications install. Now all the FCE projects I have that used this font are not showing it so I can't select it.

I'm no font expert, but it seems that MyriadPro is an Opentype whereas FCE uses Truetype.
