Locating font types (somewhat urgent)

Hi all,
Hopfully someone here can save me from a LOT of work.
in an open .pdf file (PC) pressing Ctrl-D will display the fonts used in the document. This document I originally creates in InDesign. So in InDesign, is there a way to display all the fonts used in the document as well as what pages they reside on. I am trying to publish a Blurb book and am having trouble locating an incompatable font that I though I had eraticated from the InDesign file. But after
exporting to .PDF I find that somewhere that fon is being used. But where?????????????????????????????????
Thanks all!!
Brian

This sounds like real good news...an easy solution. I'm still holding my breadth, but headed over to see what turns up. Bottom line, this is something the
Blurb tech people should have on the tip of their tounge with respect to support.
I'll let you know what I find.
UPDATE: Oh Yes, U guys/gals are great. Saved me a whole lot of time to say the least. I'll be sure to let the Blurb techies know this simple procedure. I've been playing email tag with them for more than a week and they have not offered this simple tool (solution) to eliminating undesirable fonts from the document.
Awesome, Awsome, Awsome.
Thanks!

Font type of front panel.

Hi!
In the indicators of the front panel, I have used a type of font "letra.ttf" that is not common. I have made an executable and when installing it in a pc that doesn't contain this font type, the indicator appears with other type of font, no "letra.ttf".
How could I solve this problem, could I add this font type to the executable?
Greetings!
Garrigos.

Hi:
Yes, the font files in Windows are located in the C:\Windows\Fonts and
yes, if you copy a font file to that dir the font gets registered in
the OS so that the applications can use it. I was unsure about it
but I've just done it, so just do it!

To share a library and a font type

How do I share a library among different fla files? For
instance I have three fla files which will use the same images.
Is it possible to share a font type among these fla files
too?

This is taken straight from the help in flash on "working
with common libraries"
[quote]
Working with common libraries
You can use the sample common libraries included with Flash
to add buttons or sounds to your documents. You can also create
custom common libraries, which you can then use with any documents
that you create.
To use an item from a common library in a document:
Select Window > Other Panels > Common Libraries, and
select a library from the submenu.
Drag an item from the common library into the library for the
current document.
To create a common library for your Flash application:
Create a Flash file with a library containing the symbols
that you want to include in the permanent library.
Place the Flash file in the Libraries folder located in the
Flash application folder on your hard disk.
Note: The Libraries folder is located in the
application-level configuration folder, one of several
configuration folders placed on your hard drive when you install
Flash. For the location of configuration folders, see Configuration
folders installed with Flash.

Help! Dock doesn't appear, font type of hour/battery changed

I've just installed iLife '11 and:

2) font type of data/hour and batter changed
3) icons don't appear (on application/utility etc)
4) system is incredible slow. When I type it freezes for a while.
What should I do? please help me!

I think I understand.
You can also try to reset the PRAM, here are the instructions:
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

How to Change the Font Type for Printing Pocket Address Book?

I am new to the Mac and was entering in my contact info into the Address Book in hope of creating a Pocket Address Book (PAB). When I attempt to print out the PAB the default font is courier. When I click on "set" and access other font types, sizes, etc., I can't seem to find a way to apply or save the font type that I choose. In short, it stays as courier. I found an archived thread in a forum that suggests to validate the font I want - which I did and it was already validated - and otherwise I cannot seem to change it from courier. Any help on how to get the font I select to be applied instead of courier would be GREATLY appreciated!

You can also change it using the UIManager:
UIManager.put("OptionPane.foreground", Color.red);
UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.red);
For a complete list of all properties you can change for each component check out this program:

How to change Font Type of the Title Text of a JFrame?

Hi,
I want to set a different Font Type for the Title text of the titlebar of my JFrame.
Is it possible? Can anyone show me how if it is?
Thanks.
Niteen

Michael,
Thanks. It works!
But there was a problem. I was not using the :-
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
so I have to use it now.
Is it possible to do it without the default decorated look and feel? Because the default LNF title bar has too much height and I am cramped for space.
I know that's no excuse. I tried but it doesn't work.. I am using a extended JFrame like this:-
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
setSize(300,100);
setLocation(400,200);
Container container = getContentPane();
/* add components to this container here */
setVisible(true);
When I use getComponent() for the container, I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBound Exception.
When I set the argument to getComponent(0), the font in the title bar is not changed.
What else should I do?
Thanks.
Niteen.

Working in Adobe Illustrator CS5. Fonts are shown as Font type (i.e. True Type, Adobe, OpenFace icons) with no name unless I high light an font icon. This does not happen in Photoshop or InDesign. Help!

Illustrator CS5 for Mac. OS Yosemite 10.10.1 Font Drop Down show only font type icon unless I drag my cursor over an icon to reveal the font name and style. Fonts works great in InDesign and Photoshop.

j,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

Can we change font size and font type in reports

Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.

StarOffice 8 - finding all different font types in a Writer file

Hello,
I am currently using StarOffice 8 on a Windows XP system.
I frequently transfer a large Writer (.odt) file between different computer systems as I constantly update the file with new information. As part of the updates, I use different fonts. As I install a particular font on one machine, this font may not be installed on another machine when I add new information to the file on that particular machine.
When I open the Writer file on a machine that has some font not installed, the WYSIWYG appears incorrectly (since the proper font is not installed on that computer, of course) but if you highlight the incorrectly-displayed info, it says what the font type should be (ie, "WP Hebrew David" font). I then go online to download that specific font type for this the computer. Then the data is displayed correctly.
When you have many, many different font types used in a file, it is hard to keep track of all different fonts used. Before anyone questions me on using so many different fonts in a file, it is important for my file to visually display the correct data, and this means using a quantity of fonts.
What I am wondering is the following:
Is there a way from within StarOffice 8 to scan a particular file and then let the user know every different font name used in that file?
That way, if the file contains a font which was used on another machine but not currently installed on the current machine -- when I am updating information in the file -- I can then see a list of fonts used and then install new fonts accordingly after checking to see if they are installed (by checking the Fonts folder in C:/Windows)
I hope this makes sense, or is it "clear as mud"?
Please excuse my bad English grammar as I am not a native English speaker, but have picked it up living in Canada for the last 20 years :-)
Cheers & thanks in advance for any help !
David

There is a Fonts Used macro writer_printAllFonts.sxw Further checking this is the wrong StarBasic macro. The one I use came from an OOo forum I think. I use it with SO7, SO8 and SO9.
It is at the end of this message. To install it:
[1] Copy the macro below to the clipboard
[2] Go to Tools>Macros>Organize Macros>Basic>Standard
Select New. Highlight what is there, paste, and close.
[3] Go to Tools>Customize>Menus>Tools
Highlight Word Count, then go to Add>Macros>My Macros>Standard>Module1
