Missing some fonts in CS 5 and Lion...

Installed OS X Lion. I have my own version of Helvetica with special kerning pairs in the screen fonts dating back to that by-gone era. Both the Helteticas supplied by Apple and my "Agency Fit" fonts used to show in the font menu. Now, only mine do (which is betther than only Apple's showing!). Both fonts show in Illustrator. One more thing...I seem to only be able to select Helvetica Medium...Regular seems to be gone from both program's menus. If I disable one of the fonts with Font Book, the other will show up in the menu.
I'm using CS 5.
Is there a place I can submit this as a bug on Adobe's site? (I know, Apple is responsible for this... Still, Illustrator seems to be okay, InDesign is not.)

Interesting trick, Steve. Thank you!
For what it is worth, here is what is happening now.
In Apple's Font Book, it appears that although both Helveticas are shown as on, that is, both are black text, the font with the yellow caution symbol is also listed as inactive (in the Information pane). So, it appears that Apple is attempting to resolve duplicates on its own and is using the user's fonts over their own.
In InDesign, I only have access to my fonts, not the System's duplicates. I suppose I could try making duplicates of the System fonts and putting them the InDesign font folder if I really wanted both...
In Ilustrator, I see two Helveticas listed, as I would want. But, only the first one sticks; that is, the check mark next to the font always remains on the top font, never allowing me to select the second font, from the Options bar. But! if I go to the main menu at the top of the screen and select Type > Font > Helvetica, I can choose either Helvetica, even though Font Book indicated that one is inactive.
Like I said, for what it is worth...

My Font Book is missing some fonts??

Hi,
I've upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Tiger is backed up on a portable drive that is currently plugged into a USB port on my Mac.
The following has happened three.
I just opened a website and a window opeds (on the Mac not the website) telling me that Safari wants to use a certain font (in this case Garamond) that is on the Tiger Back up drive. I don't recall the name of the other two fonts.
Is there any particular reason why the Font Book on Leopard does not have these fonts?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't add them?
How do I do add them? Is it just cut and paste (I don't want to mess anything up)?
Thank you.

Just copy and paste to add.
Depends on how you upgraded as to what would have been copied where, and may explain why fonts are now missing.
Font book by default only installs fonts for you, but you may have changed it to install for all users, in which case it would copy to your main system folder and would explain why they are missing as you now have a new system folder. Nothing is carried over from old to new system folder when upgrading.
Just copy the missing fonts from the drive to your machine. Should just be a double click to install.

Missing Some Fonts Called For in Apple Pro Training Serries FCS 2 Book

I am currently working my way through Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 by Mark Spencer and Jem Schofield in the Apple Pro Training Series. Twice I have encountered cases where I am unable to find the font called for in the book. One case was Helvetica neue (I substituted Helvetica) and the second instance in which the Herculanum font is called for. I am surprised that books in this series would use fonts that do not seem to be on my computer. I am using OS 10.4.10 with all updates and similarly for FCS 2. I feel I may be missing something here, i.e. perhaps the fonts really are somewhere on my system and are just not accessible to FCS 2. Is that possible? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hanumang and All,
Thank you for your help. Let me bring this to closure by explaining what I found on investigating this issue and what I did to resolve it and obtain the fonts.
On the basis of your confirmation that these fonts should have been on my iMac, I called Apple Support. I spent the usual hour on line with them and went through two support people only to learn that the only way to get these fonts back into my OS X Library/Fonts folder (without having a second Mac computer) was to reinstall the operating system. It is remarkable to me that one cannot simply get the fonts off the Apple Installation disk, but it cannot be done since they are installed as part of the OS X installation and are not in a separate directory or folder on the installation disk.
I set out to do an Archive and Install with Preserve User Settings carefully checked. About one third of the way through the Archive and Install process the process hung and failed to move forward for more than an hour. I finally ended the installation process and attempted to run it again which it would not allow me to do as the Archive and Install process was now grayed out. I had no choice but to run an Erase and Install process to get a clean version of OS X on my system.
Once I had the clean version of OS X on the system, I used Font Book to check for Helvetica neue and Herculanum fonts and they were now there. I then copied all of the fonts in Library/Fonts from this vrigin install of OS X to an external drive. I back up my iMac every night automatically using Retrospect so I was now able to do a full restore of my Mac HD using Retrospect. Of course, once I had done that the fonts were missing again, but I just copied all the fonts from the external HD copy into the Library Fonts folder on my Mac HD, and all was well -- some 7 hours after starting this process.
You know, as someone who has recently bought their first Mac computer in 24 years, I would have to say that I am very disappointed in certain aspects of OS X. It takes an excessively long time to reinstall OS X compared to Windows XP with which I am very familiar. The Archive and Install feature of OS X has not worked for me on the two occasions where I have tried to use it and I truly miss the REstore feature of Windows XP.
I love Apple Professional level software like FCS 2 and Aperture, but I am not a fan of OS X. My hope is that Leopard with Time Machine and other new features will address some of the problems with OS X.

Some fonts have become tiny and pale blue

Example: When I view my online banking, my personal information is presented in a tiny font, which is also too pale to read, pale blue. When I am ordering something online, the fill-in boxes and what I type in them are tiny and pale blue. When I shopped on Drugstore.com, I had to read with a magnifying glass about their products. I have cleaned the registry and tried to find ways to adjust the font, but since not everything on the desktop is tiny and pale blue, I 've had no effect at all. Incoming email is fine, as is outgoing email. Word documents are fine.

Check the default font and color settings (screenshot: [[Some text shows up bold after upgrade]])

Yes, what errors are you getting? Anyway, Cisco already posted on their homesupport site the software to get back to the old firmware or interface. There are instructions, too, on how to do it.

When Patch for embedded fonts and Lion OSX to be released?

Was reading through the thread about the problem with embedded fonts and Lion OSX and a patch being released the 3rd week of August. Does anyone know about the patch being released?

This patch was released as 11.5.9 a couple of weeks ago. See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/895280?tstart=0
You should be able to get it through the Help / Check for Updates menu - but I would definitely be aware that it seems to have created a couple of new issues for some users (documented in other forum posts at forums.adobe.com).

A kind of tasksel, and some font / theme issue

Hi, it is me again. After heavy fighting my own limitations and several reinstallations (but less than you count fingers on ypur hand) I am back on arch. During installation, I followed the readme that it might be a gould idea to install just the base packages, and an editor could be also a good idea. During installation, packages where sorted in a kind of tasksel (who knows debian) - well sorted groups of packages, f.e. "gnome", "kde" etc. While I am on gnome for some time, I feel that my installation misses some features. F.e. I have no possibility to change time via gnome. The admin tools (group, users, login ... - fith toe ware, I guess) is missing. Some themes are crippled, like gorilla, and some font stuff is happening as evolution overviews look rather empty. And, somehow, the system has little built in sounds, hasn't it?
Well, if you have any idea how to fetch packages via an overview like tasksel ( ore that installation thing ) ore what packages I could need to complete gnome a bit, your ideas are welcome.
Btw. did I mention I really like archlin?

It was closed. Then someone did something, and now GTK+2 can't read SVG files anymore.
I'd assume a recompile of GTK+2 would fix it, but unfortunately FreeType 2.1.7 seems to break that compiling on my system. I'm assuming it's GTK+2 that needs a recompile, as I can't think of anything else in the dependancy chain that'd deal with any image files.
You'll need librsvg installed if you recompile. It's not a requirement of anything, so you'd have to pull it manually.
edit: just compiled a old copy of FreeType and recompiled GTK+2, and that fixes the SVG issue so AFAIK that should fix any GNOME theme problems. That said, of the fonts, do they look "smaller" then they should? Are you using a LCD display?
I don't know if they are smaller than they should. Seems to be OK, but yes, I use a LCD display. Should I care for something?
Could'nt anyone fix this bug - I installed arch on several other machines, sometimes the bug appears, sometimes not. It definetly appears if I choose archlinux source on ftp install, as far as I have installed. Maybe a broken package?
I would be glad if someone could give me a straight solution, as my main working maschine has this bug again. :?

When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive. What am I ding wrong? Using latest version of mountain lion.

When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk. I am using latest version of mountain lion. Am I doing something wrong?

First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

How to get and Download missing Arabic fonts?

I can't read some Arabic files on my pages and letters are missed up....
I think there are some fonts are missing!!!!!
Need help

Pages support for Arabic is full of bugs. Instead use another app. Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and OpenOffice should also work.
It is very unlikely that you have any font missing. Post a screenshot if you need more help.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......
