Lost a font from mail

I lost Abadi Condensed Light from the fonts in Mail recently after I had to format the disk, reinstall Leopard and restore everything from a SuperDuper backup. So where can I get a free download of this font and how do you reinstall it in mail? There must be a library folder somewhere I suppose?
thanks
Simon
ps: why did SuperDuper not save this detail too?

I "upgraded" (down?) to Leopard last night and now I've lost my Camilia Italic font. For 13 years, every form I've ever made, every email I've written, every thing I've ever written from the beginning of my business has used the Camilia Italic font. Every form I've opened today has been changed to some large square blocked boring font. My font is no longer in Photoshop, Appleworks, my email program - I can't even find it by googling it & searching sites that show 6 million fonts. Its not in my Application Folder > Font Book or in my Library > Fonts folder.
I'm overwhelmed at the thought of having to go back 13 years and reformat everything. I backed up my entire computer (except applications) last night to both my iPod and my external hard drive. So all my forms are there - but I suppose if I tried to open them with Leopard they'll be gone. Have I been had by Apple?

  • Lost 'Abadi Condensed Light' font from Mail

    how do I get it back? Anyone know of free font download sites where I can get this font? Then I assume you have to drop the font into some library folder somewhere? Think I did this years ago but since forgotten. The font disappeared after a recent format of my hard drive and restoration of everything via Super Duper, frankly I'm baffled that that font was not restored along with everything else.

  • How can cocoa app get attachment in Drag & Drop email(s) from Mail?

    HI all,
    I would like to drag and drop one or more emails from Apple's Mail application to a cocoa application and have the cocoa application find the path to the attachments in those emails. If I drag & drop a message from Mail to Text Edit, it creates a link with the message subject. If I hold the pointer over the link in Text Edit, it shows the contents of the link, which has the form:
    message:%[email protected]%3E
    If I click that link, it opens a new Mail window with the message. None of that is the message number as shown in Mail's viewer window.
    I've also looked at what Pasteboard Peeker shows given a Drag & Drop from Mail. The above link data is from the public.url pasteboard type. Some of the others look interesting, but Pasteboard Peeker truncates the data read from the pasteboard, and the pasteboard types are probably nothing that we "supposed" to have access to since they have names like "Someone's super-secret pasteboard type". Any other ideas?

    Thanks, a brody.
    That tip takes me further down the field. And, I am able to do stuff like indent and change font color of my comments which is very helpful.
    However, the big disappointment is that by dragging the original message to the Draft mailbox and then back to the original one after the edits is that it removes the original sender's name and puts mine in along with changing the heading info on date and time. That is, it creates a new message, rather than allowing me to modify the original one to suit my needs.
    All the same, this was a very helpful tip. Thanks again.
    Anyone know of a plugin?..............or two?....

  • How to define font in mail

    Hello, I use mail, my version is (uname -a)
    Darwin Igors-MacBook-Pro.local 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:25:48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
    and I want to define my message font to particular font, f.e. arial. I've read some manuals and noticed, that there is way:
    -Open Mail
    -Preferences (from mail menu)
    -Font & Colors tab
    -Message Font
    but as far as I understand, this way defines our font view and not actual font of sent message, because when I compose message and send it, my recipients, despite the fact that message was sent in HTML and not in plain text, have my message displayed in their own default fonts.
    So I sent one message to my another mailbox and viewed the underlying HTML code to see this two portions:
    <html><head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word;">фЕУФ ЬФП ФЙРБ БТЙБМ<div><br></div><div>test this is arial</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

    first portion was my text, and I see no HTML tags to define font. After that comes my signature, which is heavily formatted and contains default font, so my recipients see it exactly how I want.
    But what about message text? How can I define it to be displayed upon arrival to my recipients' mailboxes in exactly that font I need?

    If I understand your request...
    MIME-encoded mail clients will usually send both plain text (or base64-encoded plain text) or rich text (or probably base64-encoded rich text, but I haven't seen that) and also as HTML, and an arbitrary mail client might display the text or might display the HTML.  And then there's whether the HTML will be rendered the same, and that's far from certain.
    HTML moved various parts of the viewing and rendering details from the perview of the provider or the presenter or author along to the viewer.  This is a large shift from what went before, and from what the expectations of the producers were.  Fonts were one of those details that moved to the client, too.  Not all fonts exist everywhere, and font fallback and font overrides are common.  I regularly override the sizes of some messages, and various clients allow that and allow overriding the font choice for one that's more readable.  (This change gets into trusting the HTML reader to configure their client for what they prefer, and sometimes for what they can see and read.)
    Put another way, the viewer can and will select local fonts and font sizes and such, and may or may not honor the sender's requested fonts. 
    Formatted HTML itself — such as the Apple Mail.app stationery — is somewhat problematic in general, as client rendering differs.  Apple's stationery works well among Apple clients, but can be rendered differently with other clients.
    ad for your case, I've been able to set the sending font — brute-force ⌘A in the text area — by changing the font within the compose window.  But whether an arbitrary mail client can or will honor that is an open question.
    If you really need to set font or page layout or related formatting within a document, then create and attach and send the message as PDF.  This is what PDF and Postscript and similar formats are intended to do; to provide the classic producer-defined document viewing.   Text will render more or less the same, though you can encounter oddities around line wrapping and line endings and related, and particularly with some mail servers and mail gateways.
    If not attaching a PDF or such, then you're going to have to live within whatever your mail client and the receiver's mail client happen to implement.  That's the way mail (doesn't) work in a heterogeneous network.

  • I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

    I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

    Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

  • Default page size settings in TEXT FILES SAVED FROM MAIL

    I regularly save emails as rtf files (either with or without attachments) and sometimes return to print them with TextEdit.
    I'm in Ireland, where our standard paper size is as most European countries, i.e. A4.
    My 'Default Paper Size in Page Setup' is set in the Print & Fax pane in *System Preferences* as A4.
    If I select 'Page Setup...' in Mail to print direct from the Application, it defaults as you'd expect to A4.
    If I make a fresh text file with TextEdit, it also defaults to A4.
    But if I 'Save As...' from Mail and then open the resulting file in TextEdit (or Word, for example) I find it has been saved with a US Letter Page Setup. Can I change this setting? If so, where?

    I think I see where the confusion is.
    I'm not talking about file attachments (the 'Save Attachments...' function in the File menu). What I'm talking about is the saving of the email as an rtf file (the 'Save As...' function). When you select 'Save As...' there's a further pull-down menu for format that allows you to save it as one of 3 options: Rich Text Format, Plain Text OR Raw Message Source. I want to save it as Rich Text which preserves fonts, bold type etc.
    Mail clearly can create such files (I have several GB of saved emails that says so!) - what I want to figure out is if there's a way to control the way it sets the page size in those files as it does so.

  • I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

    Hi,
    Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
    it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
    Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
    All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
    What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
    The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

  • Styling fonts in Mail

    Hi
    Recently my Mail application stopped allowing me to style fonts. Its not a big issue really but it should work, and it used to, now it doesn't.
    I can copy and paste styled fonts from older emails. No problem.
    However if I want to say make a word bold in Arial to highlight it I get nothing, sometimes it goes smaller instead.
    Then again if I try to change the size the word will increase indefinately each time I try it. or instance repeatedly selecting a point size of 11.
    Why is this? I'm running regular updates from apple, but none have resolced the problem.

  • How do I update font from CS3 to CS5

    I have been doing all of my design work on CS3 and finally left the dark ages for CS5. I converted my CS3 to CS5 on my old computer and things worked fine. Now, I have moved to a new computer with CS5 and when I imported my documents I got the missing text notice. It is for Lucidia Calligraphy and perpetua titling bold. I'm assuming those were fonts in the CS3 package. The question is can I import those fonts from the old computer into the new computer with CS5?? If so, how exactly would one go about doing that??

    Neither of these fonts are installed with InDesign.
    Restart your old computer and open one of the documents that contain these fonts. Then use Type > Find Font to get the location of these fonts (click the More Info button in this dialog). Note down the location, then use your OS to navigate to it (Finder or Explorer, it doesn't matter). ... Uh, I don't think CS3 had this wonderful option to immediately open an OS window at the font location in the Find Font dialog (yes, that same function that's not functioning on Windows 7!), but if it does you can use that instead.
    Copy the font files on a removable device -- disk, USB stick -- or simply e-mail them to yourself. Then install them on your new system by following the approved steps for your specific OS.

  • Some emails missing from Mail InBox

    All emails received in Mail, version 3.6 (936) between 6:57pm 8 August and 6:15pm 10 August (around 30 messages) have disappeared from my Inbox at some time in the afternoon of 10 August. (I don't suspect the timings are significant, I'm just being specific.) I did not delete them, accidentally or otherwise. They have not moved to any other folder. Account type is POP.
    I have followed all recovery procedures listed at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1907, but nothing has worked. The messages were still on my ISPs server so I have been able to retrieve them on my MacBook.
    Questions:
    • Is there any known reason for this problem?
    • Any way to prevent it recurring?
    • Is there some way I can retrieve the lost messages from my ISP into Mail on my iMac?
    • Is there any way to import only the missing messages into Mail on my iMac from Mail on my MacBook?
    • How can I inform Apple of this problem by email?

    Ok....now when I reply to something from my Mail....my phone is sending another reply to the recipient...except blank. Grrrr.

  • Thunderbird changing existing color, and occasionally font, from original messages in replies

    Hello,
    Thunderbird keeps consistently changing text color (always) and font (sometimes, intermittently) when I reply to a message. I hope the attached images will make clear what I mean.
    I have many e-mail exchanges where individuals involved use both font and color to make it instantly possible to distinguish who said what, and often in what order, based upon the font being specific to the individual and the color specific to the response given.
    You will see in the attached screen shots that the original message contained two different fonts in dark blue colors. When I hit "Reply" the compose window switches all the text from the old messages to black. In this case it wouldn't matter much, but it can be very disorienting when you have an e-mail exchange going on that's got more participants all of whom use signature fonts and change either the font and/or color as the conversation progresses. Having everything "go black" removes essential context.
    I also find it odd that when you place your cursor in the middle of existing text and open up a new line to insert your own material that the new material always mimics the last font that was in the material you've just "split open" to add your own reply. In virtually every other e-mail editor I've used when you place yourself in existing text and split it apart by hitting a return the opened area typically would use the font and font color you currently have specified in the compose window.
    If there are settings I need to tweak to:
    1. Force Thunderbird to maintain all existing fonts and font colors when replying to an existing e-mail message,
    2. Get Thunderbird to use the font and font color I have chosen in the compose window any time I split existing quoted material to add new material,
    I'd love to know what those settings are.

    Matt,
    I decided to do some experimentation with creating multiple messages and replies strictly within Gmail's web interface and then to reply to same from Thunderbird. After that, I attempted to start the same sort of chain strictly using Thunderbird to create the messages. The difference is pretty stark.
    The first attachment is how the multiple fonts and colors that originated from Gmail show in Thunderbird's reading window. They are all correct here.
    The second shows how the multiple fonts and colors that originated from Gmail show up when I reply from within Thunderbird. Again, all of those fonts and colors are maintained as sent and the font and color I designated in my Thunderbird options are what get used when composing the reply.
    The last shows what happens when I sent a message created in Thunderbird with one font and color and then go to reply to it from within Thunderbird after having switched my default font and color choice for composition intentionally prior to replying. The font from the original message is retained in the reply, but the color is converted to what has been selected for composition. This suggests to me that Thunderbird is not retaining color information at each "level" within a reply. It has to have sent color information in the original message because it shows up in that color on receipt when reading (I didn't bother with a screen shot, but if you want one I can get one). When replying it is stripping or overwriting the color information from the original message and using the current compose color and applying it to everything in the window.
    As far as I'm concerned, that's a bug.

  • Switchers beware - email from Mail is not processed by Outlook properly

    I was furious to learn yesterday that many of the emails I have sent over the past few months to Customers / Suppliers / Colleagues and friends just haven't been read properly. The reason for this due to Mail's failing to send a compatible format which can easily be read on outlook!!! Either the email is not able to be processed by Outlook properly, or Mail sends it in an unexpected format removing text from the message, unexpectedly. Just be very careful not to assume your email is being read in a way Mail presents it to you by your Outlook recipients!
    This is absolutely unforgivable, IMHO, from such a basic application which is apparently part of the "most advances operating system in the world"! Apple like to keep crowing about the compatibility with Microsoft applications, but they cant even claim this for their basic bundled email client!
    I have a few examples, here is one: create a new mail; type some text; leave 3 line spaces; type some more text; leave 3 more line spaces; type some text to sign off. Insert two photos by drag and drop into the two spaces you left between the text. The mail looks great doesn't it? Address it to a friend who uses Outlook (certainly Outlook 2008) on Windows (or an address which can be set-up on a Windows Outlook client), press send. Check out how it looks in your sent items, still looks great! Now check it on Outlook. The first piece of text is in the message body. The photos are there as attachments. The rest of your message has been shifted to two separate text attachments which look too innocuous to be bothered with. I wonder how this would look on a blackberry???
    The point is, depending on how the mail is worded can mean the actual message can be completely lost and you would never know why?
    This is a massive failing for Mail which I don't see many people discussing, so am I alone? Other examples include inserted line breaks in messages once they are read on Outlook. I dread to think how the mail appears on a blackberry?
    If I knew how to include screen shots here I would.

    Hi Barney, I am replying to you to apologise for coming across as adversarial. I didn’t mean to. I was venting frustration at Apple for what I see as causing me a problem using their Mail client as instructed, and the email not showing up in recipients Outlook clients as intended. I will not use this forum to vent frustration at Apple in future as it clearly upsets some people here.
    I still feel that this is a major flaw on Apple’s part, especially as most other widely used clients and Webmail don’t present this problem. I will have users on my case asking me why Mail doesn’t send email properly to our customers who use Outlook. They will hate Entourage and it will drive them back towards Outlook on Windows, which I don’t want because I believe superior productivity can be achieved with Mail, Address Book, iCal etc.

    Communicating this to all our suppliers and customers is impractical.
    Well then, just use Thunderbird.
    That doesn’t help and is not why I am posting a topic here. I am just pointing out that it must be possible for Apple to address this issue by highlighting that Thunderbird has.
    What every person should know is that there is no standard that prevents an email client from displaying an email any way it wishes. No matter what you do on your end when sending, the recipient's email client decides how to display the email. If you want people to see a document exactly as you prepared it, send a pdf. It is designed for that exact purpose. Email is not.
    I agree. Every person should know this, but I don’t think they do. I do think users have the right to expect their email, at the very least, to be readable (all text present) in this scenario.
    I agree that complex formatting, web publication style columns etc. should be preserved for HTML email and pdf etc. and not expect Mail to produce email readable by other receiving clients.
    However, I think expecting users to convert documents to pdf just because they want to attach a photo is impractical, unproductive and unnecessary. Email is evolving from a pure text only way to communicate and users are being encouraged by Apple to use Mail for this purpose. I really don’t think I am expecting too much in this scenario. I think even Apple would agree to this. I could well be wrong though, which is why I’m using their forum.
    It does send internet compatible email. How your recipient sees that message is up to their client.
    I bow to your expertise here. Your forum status suggests you are more qualified than I on this topic and I am sure Apple are clever enough to ensure their client sends internet compatible email.
    It certainly appears that the receiving client is at fault by seemingly not following internet standards as you suggest, in this case Outlook. However, it doesn’t help Mail users because Outlook is used by so many business customers and suppliers, so many family members and friends. Users of Mail should be aware of what is happening to their simple messages upon receipt by Outlook. Or Mail should compensate for this. I strongly feel that this is a major flaw. As mentioned, I don't know of another widely used client that has this problem with Outlook recipients. Surely this is as important to most users as ensuring email is internet compliant.
    Outlook is so widely used that MS is powerful enough to ignore that, just because Mail follows certain standards, messages from Mail are pulled to pieces and miss-presented to Outlook users. Complaining to MS is a complete waste of time. Outlook writes it's own standards and as far as I know, Mail is the only email client that cant send this simple mail in a way that can be easily read by Outlook users.
    Trying to make your software "Microsoft compliant" is stupid, ...
    I think many, including Apple, and most software developers and users think otherwise. Take a look at one post in this forum entitled Snow Leopard with Exchange support not working 33,000+ views and proof that Apple are trying hard to interact properly with MS email products.
    ...as they will just change the specification to break your program.
    I think it’s an unfortunate but necessary evil at the moment. You are probably right to elude to the fact that the industry should be better regulated.
