Missing "Find fonts" menu item in InDesign CS6

I need to delete some fonts from an existing InDesign document, however, the "Find Fonts" menu is missing. I see "Create outlines" and "Change case" but nothing in between where the find fonts command is supposed to be.
Thanks for any help. Richard

Can't change Font or Size in Indesign CS6 via dropdown menu

Hi!
I can't change the font on new documents created in Adobe Indesign CS6. I can't choose other fonts or an other font size from the download menu.
If i use the same option from the right mouse button menu, it works.
New installations or repairs of the application doesn't work.
Windows 7/64bit
Adobe Creative Suite CS6 (8.0)
Thanks for every advice.
Martin

Perhaps it's this: InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

Fonts not showing in InDesign CS6

Hi there,
I've seen a similar question to this before through a Google search and I tried the advice listed such as placing the affected fonts in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\InDesign CS6\Fonts; as well as searching for fonts with a **after its name. Doesn't work. The files originated in CS5 and pops up saying there are two missing links (fonts) which are Avenir Book and Avenir Black. I've done the "Find Font" and the only one that shows is Avenir Book. Avenir Black isn't even there, even after re-installing and relocating to the new folder. Secondly, even after I save the file after "finding" Avenir Book, upon re-opening it still says it's missing. Is there anything else I can try-short of uninstalling InDesign CS6 (I still have CS5 installed)? Also, I'm not that familiar with InDesign, it isn't a program I use much.
Thanks!

Is this the same computer where the files started out in CS5?
There are probably quite a few different cuts of Avenir (certainly over the years it has been available as TT and T1 in both Windows and Mac formats, and I have an OpenType version here from Linotype). Some possibilities for why CS6 might not see a font are that you have installed a different version, you have more than one version installed or it is installed in more than one location, or that it is looking at a different internal name in CS6. Typically, if the fonts are showing as missing, but are, in fact installed, using Find Font and substituting the same font will solve the problem.

HT4836 duplicate finder context menu items Mountain Lion

I paid money to upgrade to 10.8.2 Is it a bug-or-feature? I have upgraded all my apps I purchased though iTunes. I get 2-Opera, 2-Pages, 3-TextWrangler, 3-xCode, items in my Finder Context menu. I need to Remove (maybe add items later). Where is the OSX documentation to do things a PC-Mac-Hybrid Programmer like me needs to. Does Apple provide any real, reliable documentation or just hit-or-miss help-yourselves-communities.

Finding which menu item has been clicked

Does oracle forms have anyway of knowing which menu item has been clicked.
I have a security structure set up where menu items are made visible depending on their name, which in turn is based on the individual forms that a particular user can access.
I would like to write a generic method for all menu items where it uses the name of the clicked menu item to perform a query, the result could be used to open a new form.
So is there a build in or some 'secret source' which tells me the name or gives me the id of a clicked menu item?

Not entirely sure what you mean, are you sugesting i have a generic method with a switch statment and uses the input paramter to decide what to do?
It's not really what i'm after, rather I already have the name of the menu item in the database, the same table also contains the module filename that clicking the button should go to.
So the idea would be somthing like
declare
begin
select module name into new form from secutity table where menu item = :system.current menu item;
open_form(new form);
end;
:sysem.current menu item is the missing ingreadiant.
My menu has many items in the hundreds i think so even the generic switch staement would be pretty tedious and i want changes in the database to be felt system wide as they are else where in my system.
Thanks for you help and i hope this explains my question better.
Regards,
Gareth

Xfce4 missing icons for menu items

My xfce4 seems to have blank icons for some of the menu items and I can't figure out why. I installed the entire xfce4 and xfce4-goodies groups.

maggie: are you talking about icons in the Applications menu applet? If yes, are the icons missing for applications which do not provide icons¹? If yes, then you have the answer: there is no icon displayed because there is no icon to display for the entry.
AFAIR, the pre-4.12 Applications menu applet displayed some ugly stock icon as a placeholder, but it seems that this behaviour is no longer present in the latest release. If you truly want icons for the entries, you may set them by editing corresponding .desktop entries. The best way is placing your overrides in ~/.local/share/applications as this will not pollute pacman-managed /usr/share/applications directory.
¹ See the corresponding .desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/ or ~/.local/share/applications

No Print menu item in InDesign default menus

Getting started with a sample document my newly installed InDesign CC(2014) and hit Command+P a few times and nothing happened. Looked in the menus and no Print item under the File menu.
Checked the menu customization and InDesign Defaults does not list a Print function. Switched workspaces and still no appearance of Print. Gone girl.
Don't recall reading about this as one of the new features.
Did my Creative Cloud Install go wrong?
MacPro 2011, OS X 10.8.5

No local printers on USB. I'm on a LAN with 15 printers/plotters on our segment.
Also noting that Illustrator and Photoshop Print functions are working fine.
And, under InDesign Edit menu, the Color Settings… item is not showing up either. It shows correctly in Illustrator, Photoshop. and works in Bridge
The parts are in there, but don't seem to be being read in by InDesign on launch.
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2014/Adobe InDesign CC 2014.app/Contents/MacOS/Required/Print.InDesignPlugin
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2014/Adobe InDesign CC 2014.app/Contents/MacOS/Required/Color Management.InDesignPlugin
The traditional diagnostic rebuild chord - Control+Option+Command+Shift on launching - isn't bringing up a dialog offering to delete preferences.

Missing "TV Shows" menu items lists

I have a first gen apple TV, software is up to date.
Today I look at the "TV Shows" menu, and everything except "My TV shows" is missing from the menu selection.
I've looked around the support communities and I've seen a few other threads, but no resolutions. Thus I'm starting a new thread on the topic.
I've rebooted AppleTV, have confirmed my location settings (I'm in Canada), so-on-and-so-forth.
Does anyone know what's going on? With the exception of these missing menu items my AppleTV is fully functional.

This problem has just resolved itself. You can read more about it in the
Apple TV 1 not showing TV show items thread. However, you need to reboot your Apple TV for the menu to reappear. Just press and hold "Menu" plus "-" on the remote until it disappears from your TV screem amd then follow the instructions when it starts up again.

Mysterious smiley face icons in find fonts menu

Was going to do another round of revisons to some ice cream labels, this came up while opening 11 flavors. Only came up on one, and is gone now. Just wanted to share incase anyone seen this before. Seems like the fonts for showing the font technology changed to a font similar to Apple color Emoji, amybe a font in the show package contents.
CS5 15.02 Mac OS 10.8.4

Maybe not so much a mystery, more an "Easter Egg". I ran across this in Illy CS3 (possibly even earlier) while assigning a hotkey to "Find Fonts".
This appears when you hold down Alt on a Windows machine -- probably Option on your Mac.
It seems to be a graphical depiction of what Illustrator's programmers think of various font formats: instead of the usual "Type 1", "OTF", and other icons, it displays these. Look what it says on your "Courier"!
Very funny ... until you realise you cannot disable it, and so using a hotkey that includes Alt is impossible.

Find Fonts causes freezing/crash in CS6

Running ID CS6 on a Windows XP, SP3 system. I have several IDML files (FrameMaker conversions) that I am editing. So far, no issues, but now, InDesign will freeze when I try to globally update the fonts (mostly body fonts). I'm moving from Times in the original to Times New Roman in my edits - nothing out of the ordinary.
Is this an issue that others have reported, or a case of a corrupt file?

Yes, occuring when I try to update any font that appears in many places throughout the document. After some testing, I'm beginning to think the original FrameMaker file is corrupting when I export - of my 30 chapters, this is the only one it's happening to. I appreciate your help!

How can i activate the "Updates" in the Menu "Help" in InDesign CS6, Photoshop CS6?

The Menu "Updates" is not activated. When i try to update manually, i became the error "Update failed", I have to ask my Administrator, because Updates are not allowed on my Mac. But I'm the Administrator.
Thanks

Hi Martinthomann,
It sounds like you might not have full administrative rights if its not working for you but is for the Administrator.

Can not find pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c?

How do I find the pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c? It is not visible in the swatches panel? Can anyone else see this swatch in Indesign Cs6 or Illustrator Cs6?

From the Swatches panel Flyout menu, choose New swatch.
In the new swatch definition dialog, under Type choose Spot, and under Mode choose Pantone + Solid Coated.
There are some legacy colors that are not included inthe Pantone + series. You can add these to both ID and Illustrator by following the directions in Pantone Plus color libraries (Thanks, Vikrant ).
2239 isn't in my old swatchbooks as a spot color or the legacy books for the program, either. Are you sure that's a vaild number? Perhaps youpi really mean 223-9, a light blue-gray process color? If that's the case, you'd need to specify Process instead of Spot, and choose the appropriate book fromthe mode dropdown. The 223 series seems not be included in the + books, but it is inthe legacy books if you add them according to the instuctions in the link above.
