Loading MT Extra font from MS Office 2008 dmg

Hi all. I recently installed MS Office 2008 for Mac, but chose not to install the fonts because I did not want to corrupt my iMac. I do, however, need one of the fonts that MS Office has, namely the MT Extra font (for Equation Editor). Does anyone know how to safely install it from the MS Office dmg? Thanks.

This question is completely relevant. I fail to see how font compatibility between Windows and Mac OS X doesn't belong in this section.
OP, if you're worried about downloading fonts as part of the Office package, try downloading it separately either by searching from Google or using this link:
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/mt-extra.htm
It's less likely to cause you problems. However, there are applications available should you want to check for corrupt fonts on your Mac.

Font problems in Office 2008 and iLife 2009

I've been using a Mac for years, and have never had so many problems before. I'm am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a 2006 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook. I recently did the 6.2 update last night, as I was hoping it would solve problems that I had been having. It actually made it worse.
Whenever I try to start up either Word or Powerpoint in Office 2008, the "Optimizing font performance" text pops up on the Word/Powerpoint startup window, taking around 30 seconds to a minute to fully load the program, while the beachball spins away (I have 600+ fonts, but it still shouldn't do this). I've Googled this problem before, and came up with the solution to uncheck "WYSIWYG font and style menus" in the Word preferences menu. However, with the update last night, it's gone back to the "Optimizing font performance" text every time I start up the program.
I've even gone as far to clean up the font cache in Onyx, repair permissions in Disk Utility, repair any problem fonts, fix duplicates of fonts, and even go into the Office Library folders and delete the font caches by hand (as recommended by Microsoft).
Also, I've just started having problems with iLife, including Pages. Whenever I try to open a new blank document or saved document, Pages freezes up, and I have to force quit. When I look into my processes (using iStat Nano), the font cache is running at 90% or higher.
I'm very confused and not sure what to do next besides backing up my data and reinstalling Snow Leopard altogether. A HUGE thanks to anyone that can help me!

"Optimizing font performance" text pops up on the Word/Powerpoint startup window ... (I have 600+ fonts, but it still shouldn't do this)
It shouldn't take quite that long, but that still is a lot of fonts to have open at once.
It seems to have worked for Word, but trying to open a blank document in Pages causes it to crash. Keynote opens a blank or template-based document, but as soon as I try to click to edit text, it crashes.
Office and Pages/Keynote are completely unrelated to each other, vendor wise. Something is going on at the OS level to affect multiple apps from both Apple and Microsoft.
It may not be as simple as this, but try removing all font cache data from your Mac. Download the Snow Leopard version of OnyX. Click the Cleaning heading and then the Fonts tab. Check all items (except Gimp if you're not using that), then click Execute. When it's done clearing the cache files from the system, it will tell you to restart. Do not skip that step!
After the Mac restarts, check to make sure OnyX has removed the Office cache files. Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)

Importing templates & fonts from Microsoft Office into Pages

At Peggy's suggestion in the Appleworks discussion group, I saved templates and fonts from a Microsoft Office Test Drive, so I can install them into my newly acquired iWork Pages program.
Pages is now installed, but I don't know where to put the templates or fonts from Office.
Can you tell me where they'd go?
Thanks,
TeddyZ

Hi, Peggy - It's TeddyZ again, but in a different forum. I think I might have completely misunderstood you. I saved all the templates from Office Test Drive (which I deleted, at your suggestion, to avoid those annoying prompts from Microsoft).
These templates reside in a folder on my desktop. They are not documents - just the templates (and their icons).
The Office Template icons are never able to be highlighted, so I can't read them, pull them up, or save them, or access them in any way. Doing a File>Open, etc. yields nothing.
I think I should have methodically made documents using each Office template - they would have then been in a Word format which Pages can read. It would have been a chore, but I think it could have worked.
Unless you or anyone else has another idea, I think I'd better settle for the templates found in Pages. I've only had Pages for a few days - it's not as flexible as I was hoping - but at least it can read Word documents, which is more than AW can do and why I purchased Pages in the first place.
Thanks again. TeddyZ

Cannot load ttf banglaplain font from /usr/share/fonts & there is no 'res' folder where to place this ttf as I used to do in earlier version of ff. How to load this bangla font?

Hi,
I see the www.guruchandali.com website a lot, which use a ttf bengali font (not a unicode). In earlier version, I used to place the banglaplain.ttf in .mozilla/res folder, but in this ff 5.0 there is no 'res' folder. Also, the banglaplain.ttf is not accessed from the /usr/share/fonts. Now, how I can see the bangla fonts in ff 5?

The usual location for installing that font would be in the ~/.fonts/b folder. That location work in Firefox 3 and 4 for me. That font doesn't seem to be compatible with Firefox 5 (Aurora) and the Nightly build. Both do not use the font even if I select it directly as the default font. I have another font BanglaFontNormal.ttf that still works in Firefox 5 and 7 if I select it. I don't know if that has the same mapping because I can't read that script.

How do I get my Photosmart C4500 series to print 3x5 index cards from MS Office 2008 when Page Setup is set to print 3" W by 5" H? I am getting a paper jam error.

Specifically, the printer is set up over a local WiFi network.

Loading Fonts from diff domain

Hi - When I try to load fonts from a diff domain, it loads but when I call a font.regiserfont, it throws a AS error.
In the main application, this is what I do to load the fonts.
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
var testFontloader:Loader = new Loader();
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, function(e:Event):void{
     var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("testFont") as Class;
     Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.font);
var testFontReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(model.serverLocation + ServiceURLConstants.ASSETS_PATH+"/embeddedFonts/testFont.swf");
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,CheckFontLoadComplete);
testFontloader.load(testFontReq,loaderContext);
And it throws an exception while it tries to register the font and it does not register it acutally. The main app is in code domain (domain1) and font swfs were placed in content domain (domain2)
Error is:
ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.
     at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
     at MethodInfo-778()
I tried wih diff options, as to set loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = false; but they did not bear any fruit.
This is the code to acualy embedd the font.
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.system.Security;
     import flash.text.Font;
     public class testFont extends Sprite
         Security.allowDomain("*");
         [Embed(source="/fonts/testFont.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", fontName="testFont",
             unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007F,U+00A0-U+00A3,U+00A8-U+00AB,U+00AE,U+00B4,U+00B8,U+00BB,U+00B F-U+00CF,U+00D1-U+00D6,U+00D8-U+00DC,U+00DF-U+00EF,U+00F1-U+00F6,U+00F8-U+00FC,U+00FF,U+01 31,U+0152-U+0153,U+0178,U+02C6-U+02C7,U+02DA,U+02DC-U+02DD,U+2013-U+2014,U+2018-U+201A,U+2 01C-U+201E,U+2022,U+2026,U+2030,U+2039-U+203A,U+20AC,U+2122,U+FB01,U+FB02", embedAsCFF="true")]
         public static var font:Class;
Can someone guide me on what am I doing wrong? or is it possible at all to load and register fonts from a diff domain at all? Pls let me know if you need more info. Pls treat it as urgent!!

I have not tried it, but the principle should be that you load the SWF into
the same security domain which requires that you have a crossdomain.xml file
in the right place with the right permissions. You will probably not be
able to test your configuration from urls that begin with file://. You will
have to deploy to a server and fetch via http://.
BTW, did you prove it works from the same domain. I'm not sure INIT is the
right event to wait for. I'd wait for an ENTER_FRAME after COMPLETE.

Microsoft Office 2008 - Excel really slow!

Two days ago I installed Snow Leopard, everything now works again (there were a few programs that were not Snow Leopard compatible), but now I have one major problem... Excel from Microsoft Office 2008 is really slow. Besides being slow opening the biggest problems I now have are:
1) when I put data in one field and press enter, it needs 5 seconds to process it
2) when I want to insert a field, it takes 5 seconds to process
3) scrolling takes a few seconds to respond and then does not go smoothly
This was not the case before.... what can I do? can I downgrade from Snow Leopard back to 10.5.8? Should I wait for a new update by Microsoft? Anybody else also have these problems?
And please, do not ask me to change to iWorks or to OpenOffice, I just need to know how to solve this problem, thank you in advance.

Some more info: I have now done the re-install. I removed all office components/preference files/caches/fonts etc, re-installed, then did all the Office updates. It hasn't solved the problem, with Excel still being very sluggish.
However, I have found that I only have the problem on my iMac (22.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM). Excel 2008 runs well under 10.6 on my old MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM), with spreadsheets in normal or page layout view.
So I guess the problem is either hardware specific (video driver perhaps?) or there is something else installed on my iMac which is causing a conflict.

Microsoft office 2008 on new macbook air

I am trying to install my old microsoft office 2008: home and student on my new macbook air with os x mavericks. Microsofts home page is telling me that this is an unsupported product. Can i still install it or do i actually have to buy a new office-package? I can't afford this and would like to use one of the two remaining users on my old office-package, since i hav only used one. Can someone help me with this?

Good question, all I can find online are updates, not full versions. Assuming that it is no longer available for download (it is 6 years old now) you will have to buy an external drive and use it to install from your discs.
Edit:
Found a download on CNET, download it, then very carefully install it, CNET has a bad habit of 'adding' things to downloads so read what the installer dialog boxes say.
The download is here
Here is a better source to download from, Microsoft Office 2008. version 12.3.3

Used migration assistant to move office 2008 and now i cannot open it

I had an old MacBook from 2008, and now have a new MacBook Air. Was told to use migration assistant to move my applications. I did this and now when I go to open any programme from Microsoft Office 2008, it takes me to Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, over and over and over... Its saying that I don't need to register...
Any advice or help?

I migrated Office 2011 and other than forcing me to enter the license code again (all 2 million letters of it) everything went OK.
Note that when I tried to open Parallels desktop 6 it wouldn't open and said that it wasn't compatible with Mountain Lion and the icon had a sort of greyed out look. I upgraded to 8 and it started working. I wonder if there is any issue with Office 2008 and Mountain Lion? Probably not but it's a possibility.
You can buy an external superdrive too from Apple. I bought one for my 2010 Air. But CD sharing from another computer should work. I bring it with me when I travel to watch DVDs.

MS Office 2008 doesn't load after migration to MacBook Air

My daughter has a new MacBook Air 11" (2GHz i7, 256 GB SSD, 8GB DDR3 RAM). We used Migration Assistant and an ethernet to Thunderbolt adaptor to move her system from her Late 2007 MacBook running Lion. Microsoft Office 2008 won't load on the MacBook Air. The recurring error message is:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/Netlib.framework/Versions/12/Netlib
Referenced from: /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Word

I have seen several Font-related issues that can be solved by restoring the fonts using Font Book. This looks like it is related to Netlib.
Anyone see this and know how to solve it?

I have no idea what caused MS Office to no work under ML, but using the Remote Disc function on the MacBook Air I was able to reinstall MS Office using the original install disc running in my iMac. I wasn't able to remove the previous version before the new install as the removal tool also crashed. The new install has replaced the old one so I only have one version on the drive now.
I'd be interested in whether there was a solution possible without reinstalling MS Office.

PS1 fonts not accessible in CS4 & MS Office 2008 - but FontBook shows them

Desperate:
I just installed Snow Leopard and found that in all of Creative Suite 4 and Office 2008 my Postscript Type 1 fonts are not available or accessible. The font Book lists them (I removed duplicates and indicated problem fonts, which actually never were problems in OS 10.5). I tried all kinds of install, delete, re-install etc. to no avail. Everything worked great under OS 10.5. (Same results on my wife's computer; both newest iMacs).
I spent hours reading blogs, comments etc. on the internet, but found no answers — even have the feeling the problem is completely ignored by Apple, Adobe and Microsoft. Yet the livelihood of a graphic designer depends on it.
I have hundreds of carefully designed documents, important design jobs that I constantly have to use again, and I spent a fortune on type libraries with over ten thousand quality fonts by different foundries — a treasure I don't want to lose.
Is there any answer to it? Otherwise I have to go back to 10.5

First, I am not speaking of the pre-installed fonts or those that come automatically with programs.
Yes, I realize that as you clearly stated you are unable to use Type 1 PostScript fonts. My response of "any" included Type 1 fonts. I can pull Type 1 PS fonts from an Illustrator 8 disk and use them with no issue, nor any other Type 1 fonts I have (thousands). Same goes for all other types of Fonts OS X supports.
After upgrading to 10.6 (no fool around or extras, just plain upgrade) all these fonts are not accessible anymore out of the CS4 Suite or Office Suite, which is basically all I need and use (well, also Filemaker).
This is partly why I asked you to create a new test account. I'm trying to see if it's just your existing account that's not working (which would mean the problem is only in your account), or if the fonts don't work with any account, even a new one (which would mean a system wide problem).
FontBook should be mature and good enough to handle the fonts,
Font Book has been around for four versions of OS X now, but it's still a light use font manager. Anyone in prepress, design or whatever a person does who handles a lot of fonts regularly should be using a more heavy duty font manager.
and I also tried Font Explorer X, which didn't help either.
So it's either a problem with your system overall, or your account. Please try a new account to rule out one or the other.

Microsoft Office 2008 & other programs take forever to load & run

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard on my laptop, my entire Microsoft Office 2008 suite takes forever to load and to operate. It also seems to have slowed down the processor for almost all other applications, especially Safari. I have Snow Leopard on my desktop as well, and both computers are at least 2 years old but are Intel-based, and only the laptop (which is newer - 2008) seems to have consistent speed problems when loading the Microsoft software. I've uninstalled and reinstalled more than once, and it never seems to do anything. I've even used a newer version of the software with the same results. Any thoughts? I know very little about programming language, etc., I'm just a habitual user, and I use both computers every day, so the slow speed of the laptop is extremely frustrating. It doesn't matter if other programs are running or not, it's always slow to open and 9 times out of 10 slow to operate, and probably 7 times out of 10 it affects performance of other programs as well.

Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
I'm really sorry your having these issues. I used to always run apple's Disk Utility with past Mac OS. I'm really happy with 10.6. And one of it's big selling points at one time was that it's a leaner meaner version of Mac OS X.
Now, in using it, if it is new to you, it cannot repair the active start-up HD. But I think it can "verify" and look for issues and then let you know if you need to pursue further use of the application. To actually make repairs to your start-up HD, either boot from another HD or the Mac OS install CD. To do that, restart your machine with the CD inserted and while holding down the "C" key. It's been awhile, so I hope I have this right and am not misleading you.
It can be a tedious process. But good for you in having more than one Mac to work from.
My apologies if you have already done the above and are well beyond what I've written here. Disk Utility really gives and end user like myself away to trouble shoot a HD.
Also, inside your Apple drop down menu for "About this Mac," you can opt for "More info . . . ." This shortcut opens System Profile. While there, look for Diagnostics under Hardware. This tells you the results to the Power On Self-Test and when it was last performed. Also while there, look at your Memory. To the far right of its table for each installed memory module is Status for each. That should read "OK."
Best of luck to you! Slow machines are never fun!

Is there a way to prevent Mail from loading non system fonts?

For over a year, and a system OS upgrade, Mail has been taking 7 - 10 minutes to load all the thousands of fonts I have on my computer for graphic design. This started with Snow Leopard on my 2009 Mac Pro (10 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD). At first I didn't know why the computer was taking such a long time to finish boot up. So I reformatted the drive--zeroing it out. Then I installed Mavericks and reinstalled everything else. Finally I tried logging the system activity during startup and noticed that something to do with fonts took up the biggest chunk of this time. Because Mavericks loads any programs you leave running at shut down, I saw that if Mail had the fonts window open, the list of fonts would slowly grow, filling up with the many font families I use for my work. I called tech support for my font management utility but they say the fonts are not in the system and and shouldn't affect the system during startup. In the end I gave up and just go drink a few coffees after hitting the start button. It's like going back to the early days 25 years ago.
Can I stop Mail from loading any non-system fonts? I never use anything but the default font.

Hey SchenkerBob,
It is possible to disable non-system fonts temporarily for all applications using the Font Book application. This article explains how to do so -
Mac Basics: Font Book - Apple Support
In particular -
Disable and enable specific fonts
In situations where you'd like to prevent a font from being available in applications, but you don't want to completely remove the font from your Mac, you can use Font Book to disable the font.
In Font Book, click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
Click the name of the font in the Font column.
Choose Disable "Font Name" Family from the Edit menu.
Since it might be problematic to have to disable each font individually, you can create a collection of fonts and disable the collection. See the article for how to create a font collection -
Organize fonts as collections
When working with fonts, you may discover that you use certain fonts frequently, but rarely use others. To make it easier to find the font you are looking for, you can organize your fonts into collections.
From the Font Book File menu, choose New Collection.
Type in a name for the new collection.
Click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
Drag the fonts that you want from the Font column onto the name of your new collection in the Collection column.
You can then disable collections of fonts -
You can also disable or enable all fonts in a collection: Click the name of the collection in the Collection column, then choose Disable "Collection Name" or EnableCollection Name" " from the Edit menu.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L

Font Problem in Mail after installation of Office 2008 for Mac

Since I installed my 2008 Office for Mac I have had occasional problems with the font display in IMail. Sometimes the fonts are just gibberish but will become readable again if/when I change the font sizing. Any suggestions? When I installed Office 2008 I had previously deleted the Trial Version of Office for Mac 2004 and the installer for Office 2008 did not find any prior Office installation.
Thanks

Download Font Nuke. Close all other applications you may have running.
Run Font Nuke and click on the "Nuke Font Caches" button at the upper left. The panel will fill with other choices. At the lower right, first click "Update Caches List". It will search your hard drive for font cache files and list them. The purpose being simply so you can see what is about to be removed. Click the "Nuke Font Caches" button at the bottom right. Your Mac will restart. Don't attempt to stop the restart. You should always restart immediately after removing any cache files.

Can't Paste in Dreamweaver C3 from Office 2008

Howdy there,
I am running OS X 10.5.1 on a Macbook with Dreamweaver CS3
and I just bought and installed MS Office 2008. Previously I used
to use Word 2004 to write the text for my website and copy and
paste it in Dreamweaver CS3 and it woudl keep the paragraph breaks.
Unfortunately, when I wrote in Word 2008, copy, and try to paste in
Dreamweaver now it will only paste in "text only" and not keep the
paragraph breaks. All the other options for copying will not allow
me to paste anything from Word 2008. I am guessing Microsoft did
some type of change to their formatting. Will Adobe create an
update for Dreamweaver to deal with this change and allow pasting
from Word 2008? Can anyone think of a work around?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

I can confirm that this is happening. Paste from Word only
works if I
select TEXT ONLY. Any other option pastes nothing into Design
view.
> Will Adobe create an update for Dreamweaver to deal with

No idea. Sorry.
> Can anyone think of a work

Save to HTML from Word, and paste that into code view?
Anyhow, I'll alert the team about this....
