MBP retina display and otf fonts

I just migrated my files onto my retina mbp.
Upon installing all my past fonts, I realize that all the OTF fonts cannot be read.
Is this because of the retina display or just some bug in my new laptop?
I have to convert my fonts to TTF true type fonts now.

Hi Clinton thanks for your response.
I tried to add these fonts onto my Font Book, and errors pop up for ALL my OTF fonts. That was so surprising as I never had any issues with fonts and I have been using Font book since the day it was available to us.
I converted one OFT font to true type and it then worked ok which is great however I have many many fonts (also archived library too which I might need in the future) and doing this manually on the online convertor just takes too long.
I tried out FontXchange, but the TTF save is a .suit which Font Book doesn't like either. Only .TTF seems to work now.
On my old MBP, I was running the most updated Lion update etc. so its the same as the retina MBP that I am using now.

  • Audio issues with some full screen applications (game) and teamspeak with a 15" MBP retina display

    While trying to play League of Legends in the lobby and loading screens i can hear everything but when i go in game i cant hear anything, and with teamspeak my teamspeak cant detect the input or output devices and i can hear everything else like skype and everything
    Already reinstaled flash restored the system and took it to the apple store, this happened like for 2 days with youtube and they solved that but not the problem with the game or teamspeak

    Apple doesn't offer the option of full resolution (2880x1800) and says everything other than 1440 x 900 won't look as good as 1440x900.
    so while you can set the monitor to 17" resolution (1920x1080) it has to simulate it on a 2880x900 screen and has to blur and reinterpolate elements to make it work
    they've really messed it up for anyone wanting true HD resolution for professional reasons.
    Indeed. Everything except 2880x1800, which is unavailable without SwitchResX, and 1440x900, which comfortably fits one pixel of the image into a four pixel square of the Retina Display, must be simulated or scaled. However, while the scaling is real, the 17" "simulation" looks as good, to my eye at least, as my wife's MBP 17". Going smaller will test one's eyes probably as much as Apple's scaling algorithms so the tradeoff for greater screen real-estate may turn out not to be as bad as we'd think. All I need is a MBP Retina Display and SwitchResX to find out...

  • Screen real-estate on the 15" MBP Retina display

    The 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display has a remarkable 2880x1800 pixel resolution, compared to the 27" LED display's 2560x1440. Normally, screen real-estate is defined as how much stuff (windows, menu bar items, bookmark lists, etc) you can fit on the screen, with a larger (that is, more pixels) screen being able to show more stuff using its native resolution.
    With the MBP's Retina display, the pixels are so small that using its native resolution in the same way as with the 27" monitor should result in, say, really small menu bar items, etc. As a result, the default monitor setting involves scaling, so that something which might normally take up one pixel might get four or eight devoted to it, making it larger and easier to see. Its monitor control panel allows changing that relationship so that everything could be made to appear even larger, resulting in less screen real-estate, or smaller, resulting in more screen real-estate; i.e., lots more stuff can fit on the screen.
    My question is whether, at the smallest setting offered, the screen real-estate is the equivalent of, say, a 32" monitor which also has 2880x1800 pixel resolution but is spread over a much smaller physical area, or is the Retina's display still scaled to some smaller equivalent resolution because straight 1 to 1 would simply be too small to be practical? If that's the case, what does the effective resolution work out to be at the smallest setting?
    I'm aware that's not a simple question because, for example, I understand that an HD Movie could be displayed pixel for pixel even if everything else outside that window is scaled. Moreover, the use of vector graphics complicates the matter further. But for things like menu lists and word processing documents, can the MBP's Retina display be set to what we understand to be 1 to 1?

  • MBP retina display wallpaper problem

    I just bought the MBP retina display and somehow the OS doesn't save my wallpaper. It will go to the default Mac wallpaper whenever i restart my computer. Is there a way to solve this?

    Alright no worries, I felt it was worth while looking at, although the unit is 4 days old in your hands, the software was likely installed longer than that, at the distribution centre.
    The next step we would likely do, is remove the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the desktop itself, this will encourage the operating system when restarted (or logged out) to regenerate a new file in its place.
    Although this is such an evasive step, and should cause no problems, since it is a user specific file, I do feel the need to tell you to backup any data first, and make sure you have everything covered before proceeding.
    I would expect nothing to go wrong in this process, honestly , but whenever a solution comes down to replacing files the operating system has in place, its worth covering.  If you are satisfied you have everything backed up, and wish to proceed,  the next steps are as follows:
    1) Open up a finder window, you can do this by clicking the square face symbol on your dock (half dark blue, half light blue).  You should have a finder menu bar running across the top of your screen, and 'Go' should be listed.
    2) Select 'Go' and this will drop down a list of places your system can go to.  Hold down the Option (alt) key on your keyboard and this will show the hidden 'library' in your drop down list. Select library.
    3) The finder window will now show the contents of your user library.  Find a folder called preferences in that folder and go into it.
    4) You will now see many com.apple.xxxx.plist files.  Find a file or files beginning in com.apple.desktop (com.apple.desktop.plist is the common one, but sometimes there is com.apple.desktop lockfiles also) and drag them to the desktop itself, make sure the files are actually moved to the desktop and not just copied.
    5) Once the files are moved to the desktop, and no longer exist in your preferences folder, restart the computer, and try again.  The computer at this point would have generated replacement files.

  • Microsoft Office in MBP Retina Display

    OK, so we are all frustrated in having a beautiful Retina Display and have to deal with low resolution Microsoft Office....
    Looking around, I found that if you right click any Office App and you go to "get info", you will see a grayed out option that reads "Open in Low Resolution"... the problem is tha it is grayed out... so I cannot uncheck it.... any ideas anyone?

    The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
    Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
    You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
    Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase

  • Problem with MBP Retina Display battery

    So, I'm on my second MBP Retina Display. The first one had a dead pixel. However, other than the dead pixel I was pleased with the laptops condition.
    I got it replaced. The new model seems to be having issues with burned in windows on the display. Also, the battery life seems to go down much quicker than
    the one I had originaly.
    I took my laptop into the genius bar and was told the battery was completely fine but because I used migration assistant something was draining the battery life.
    A month has gone by since I cleaned out my laptop and didn't use migration assistant. The battery had been lasting longer than before. But now it's draining rather rapidly again. I don't know why.
    Also, I hadn't noticed the burn in's until now.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to fix these issues? Or if I should take my laptop in again?
    Thanks for the help!

    0. Forget coconutBattery.
    1. Doesn't seem like a lot.
    2. Recommended? No. Can it hurt? No, as long as you stick to 3.
    3. It is better to discharge, at least a few times per month, to about 40%.

  • Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains

    Late 2013 MBP Retina display stains, getting worse.
    I am always very carefully with my mac, still the display always looks smudged. Even when I just close the lid, for transport, I have like the keyboard printed on my display when I open it again. Now I discovered more and more light spots which can't be wiped of at all.
    There is obviously a problem with these retina displays.
    I am very disappointed I have to say. I'm out of warranty but I can't believe that I pay € 2.600,- and get a display like that!
    Please Apple, do something…

  • Having problems with my new usb superdrive in my MBP retina display.

    I just bought an apple usb superdrive for my new MBP retina display. I connected the usb superdrive to the MBP and I was going to install a program but doesn't appear in the desktop or neither in finder. The disk is still inside the usb superdrive! The MBP doesn't recognize the usb superdrive. What do I do now? The disk is still inside!

    With the system turned on Disconnect the superdrive and then reconnect it. If that fails try the other USB port, the one on the other side.
    If That Fails take the system and the superdrive to the Apple store you bought them from and have them fix whatever is wrong with either the drive or the system or both.

  • As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

    Do you think this product is possible?

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Retina display and CC

    I am hoping someone can confirm that Apple's new (ish) Retina Display MacBook Pro's will work fine with Creative Cloud apps, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, probably Acrobat too. I tried CS 6 apps in the Apple store on a Retina Display and it was like going back to pre ATM days. Also, if it does work what other 'side effects' are there? Eg are the images/text so small that you need to zoom in/out all the time. I noticed in the Apple store that most CS6 apps took a while to launch!
    I intend to get a new Mac but am nervous about this Retina Display thing and wonder if I should go with an iMac. Just to confirm, I have Adobe CC but am just referring to CS6 as a reference. Many thanks.

  • Retina display and CS6 InDesign pixelation

    Hello,
    Has there been no software update for InDesign CS6 that supports Retina display? I have recently upgraded my Macbook to a retina display and InDesign icons and text appears pixelated. It's really annoying! Is there any way to fix this? Is the fix purchase CC?
    Thanks!

    Well yes, it was possible by rewriting the program. That became CC. It's a valid business decision to make that kind of change a new version rather than give away thousands of hours of work for free. The development team needs to be paid, and the stockholders expect some return on their investment. Do you do any work that gets a periodic revision? Do you charge the client for that revision, or do you just give them the new versions year after year? Should Ford or Chevy retrofit your car with batteries and a new engine to be a hybrid vehicle for free?
