  • Why does true-type font not appear in the Microsoft Word Font menu?

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the "Apple Symbols.ttf" font so that I can use the male and female biological symbols in a Microsoft Word (version X) file. In "Font Book", I found the font under "All Fonts" and dragged it onto the "User" and "Computer" icons in the "Collection" column. However, when I restart Word, the font is not listed.
    Is there anyone who could help me with this, please? The Help functions in Word and Font Book could not solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I am trying to install the "Apple Symbols.ttf" font
    so that I can use the male and female biological
    symbols in a Microsoft Word (version X) file.
    The problem may be that Word v.X is non-Unicode (and kind of obsolete) and can't use a Unicode font like Apple Symbols to display ♀♂ . Best would be to move to Word 2004, TextEdit, or any other more modern word processor.
    You might be able to use Word X for this if you can find an old non-Unicode symbols font somewhere that has these in place of Latin.

  • More Than 7 Fonts?

    I think Buzzwords is great. Right up until I try to customize the look beyond the seven fonts hard-wired to the system. Does anyone have any idea how to upload, choose, install or otherwise expand the font selection beyond Minion, Myriad, Tekton, etc.?
    This is the make-or-break difference between me migrating all of our corporate documents (and having them retain our unique corporate look), and me still wanting to purchase desktop based apps for every machine in my business and maintaining an internal document server.
    Unfortunate, but true. There's a lot riding on brand standards.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the feedback. We do understand that more fonts are desirable, but we are currently limited as described below ( from our Buzzword FAQ):
    Q: Why are there so few fonts?
    A: We download our own fonts in order to take advantage of Adobe FlashType technology which produces great-looking text on screen and in print. It also improves on our ability to display a document exactly the same way regardless of the computer or printer rendering our text.
    Buzzword is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) word processor that looks the same on everybody's screen. Built-in fonts make sure everyone has the same fonts, and therefore sees exactly the same document.
    We want to limit the size of the download so that the user is up and running quickly. To that end we're only downloading 7 font families to start. In future releases, we'll look at accomodating additional fonts without impacting the download times

  • How to Include More Than One Font and Font Color Within a Fluid Grid Div Tag?

    Using CSS code, I can make all the words within a fluid grid div tag the same font, font size, and font color, but how do I make a few of the words different?

    You can style the basic text and heading selectors with CSS:
    p { }
    h1 { }
    h2 { }
    h3 { }
    h4 { }
    etc...
    And you can make classes:
    .red {color:red}
    .highlight {background-color:yellow}
    Then apply classes to your text or sections of it using the HTML properties panel.
    <div>
         <p>This is a default paragraph style.</p>
         <p class="red">This is red.</p>
         <p class="highlight">This is highlighted.</p>
         <p>Default style with <span class="red highlight">red, highlighted text</span> and normal text.</p>
    </div>
    Incidentally, this will work in any layout.

  • After converting PDF to word, font sometimes changes in the middle and I can't get the document all in the same font.  It happened on many documents.

    I am preparing a book which I want in Times New Roman. After converting from PDF files, many of the pages had other fonts, mainly Cambria in them and I couldn't get the whole document in the same font.  How can I fix this?
    ESharan

    Fix it in Word. Converting to Word from PDF is a complex and uncertain process, just the first stage in editing. But does the book only exist in PDF? Often people go through PDF because it seems easier, while often it is harder.

  • How to make the fonts in Firefox sharper so there more like the fonts in Google Chrome?

    I'm currently in the process of moving from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are allot more smoother then what they are in Google Chrome, is there anyway to make the Firefox fonts look as sharp as what the fonts are in Google Chrome?

    This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: '''[[Fonts look blurry]]'''
    There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the [http://www.firefox.com/channel Aurora channel]. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)
    If you're interested in the technical details, [https://blog.mozilla.com/nattokirai/2011/08/11/directwrite-text-rendering-in-firefox-6/ this article] has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.

  • Font of text comes out different to my original MS Word fonts? Please Help!!

    When I create (print PDF) the text comes out in a different font to what I used on the MS Word document I PDF'd? My text in the word document was font "Academy" but when I made this a PDF the text is in another standard style font? How can I keep the Academy font in the PDF? Thanks.

    Did you embed it (check the fonts under the document properties to see if embedded) or are you looking at it on another machine? What versions of WORD and Acrobat, as well as OS?

  • More than one font in a single paragraph style

    I type academic papers mainly in English but with Japanese annotations (Japanese words in parentheses). With MSWord (hate to compare), I can set both the English and Japanese font styles for a single paragraph style. Can I do this with Pages? At present, I have the paragraph style set for Times New Roman. When I enter Japanese words, they show up as a particularly stiff and non-standard Japanese font. I can change it by hand, of course, but I'd love for the program just to know what font I want the Japanese to show up in.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    MStavros
    PS: I'm using my computer set in Japanese but that should really be relevant.

    Hi Joachim,
    No, this is not possible.
    Unfortunately you can only have one TableCellEditor in a single table cell.

  • Microsoft word +fonts

    In February I upgraded to 10.4 and sense then I've had a lot of trouble with Word and my fonts. Looking on line I found that I could delete the font cache from the library and that works but Word (and all of office) takes for ever to load and half the time crashes. Any advice?
    G5 Dual 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi daevud:
    The most reliable way to clear the font cache in 10.4 (other than with a third-party utility such as Tiger Cache Cleaner or Linotype FontExplorer X) is to restart the computer in safe mode (hold down Shift while you reboot) and then restart again normally. Is this how you did it, or another way?
    Have you tried deleting your Office preferences - you'll find several com.microsoft.Office.plist files (eg com.microsoft.Word.plist) in your home/Library/Preferences folder, as well as a Microsoft folder. You can trash them all, and see if that helps.

  • 10.4.4 and MS Word Font Problems

    On Tuesday of last week, I installed the 10.4.4 system update into my 450 MHz Power/PC G4 tower. Following the installation all of my Mircosoft applications (Word, Excel, etc) are crashing whenever I try an access their font menus. For some reason the system update must have changed the calls out to the fonts and the MS products are now all confused. If I do succeed in opening the font menu in Word (without the program shutting down), it is displayed as unintelligible garbage - in Excel the font menu appears with several font menus overlaid on top of one another making it impossible to distinguish which font is selected. It appears none of my other applications are similarly effected.
    I have already attempted the following fixes with NO success:
    - re-installed Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac applications (twice)
    - updated to the most recent version of Word, Excel, etc.
    - trashed Font libraries and re-installed in various sequences
    - used disk utility to repair permissions
    - re-installed 10.4.4 using Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 COMBO installer
    Any thoughts? Are other people reporting this problem? Can I download the 10.4.3 system update and run the installation (to go back to 10.4.3 from 10.4.4) or will that just screw everything up????

    Thanks again Libertine for your replies. I had tried zapping the PRAM and saw the other comments already. None of it seemed to help. The drive would mount on the desktop, but usually spin down and back up after a few minutes. So on Saturday I decided to try to copy everything off it onto another drive. Since it usually would go too long before glitching I decided to copy one folder at a time. Numerous times it would glitch in the middle of a copy and I would have to unplug it and plug it back in then start the copy of that folder all over again. On several folders I found that it would glitch on the same file (digital photo) every time. If I removed the one offending file it would copy the entire folder. I have no idea what that's about. They were photo files and I could open and view the photo fine. So who knows. Anyway, I managed to get it all copied to a new drive. Now it gets real interesting. I did nothing else but to copy the files to a new drive. And since then the drive has not glitched even once. I am totally baffled. First Aid had said the drive was OK and DiskWarrior had no problems with it. I had optomized the directories on it a couple days before I upgraded to 10.4. So who knows? I guess it will remain a mystery. Once again, thanks for all your suggestions.

  • Boris 3D titles disappear when more than one font/size used

    I've had a LOT of two-line supers created in Boris 3D (the first and second line are either different fonts or two different sizes of the same font) go invisible without any reasonable explanation.
    This has happened on 3 or 4 different Macs of various configurations, running both FCP6/Leopard and FCP7/Snow Leopard. It's not limited to just one typeface (which is what I thought at first)... it even happens with Mac basic system fonts.
    What happens is: I or another editor will create the supers...everything appears fine. They render fine. But if the project moves from one edit suite to another (running the same version of FCP), any unrendered supers become invisible. Clips are on the timeline, but will not display on-screen. Even retyping or re-rendering them doesn't make them visible... the only way to get them back is to completely re-make the super from scratch. Ironically, I can use exactly the same fonts, and it will work if I start over from scratch.
    Beyond that, if I double-click on any rendered super, the second line will disappear from the Boris plug-in text window, and the super will go unrendered and will disappear.
    Copying and pasting a rendered super into a new location on the timeline also won't work.
    We've now had three or four feature-length documentaries over the last 18 months where EVERY super in the entire show has required retyping from scratch, at major cost and expense.
    Since the problem has occurred in several edit suites, I'm assuming this is not a problem unique to our projects.
    Anyone?

    Maybe this will help:
    There is an update available for the Boris Calligraphy package that comes bundled with FCP6/7 that addressed a bunch of font/crashing issues with Boris Title 3D.
    Info from Boris:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Boris.jpg!
    Go to
    http://www.borisfx.com/updates/
    and down load the update for Calligraphy.

  • No more fixed size fonts

    OTN articles like this one:
    http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/04-
    may/o34cover_feature.html
    are using a fixed font size. The page does not respond to the browser View &gt; Text Size menu command. This makes it difficult for me to read. Why not use a relative font size setting like xsmall and then we can resize the font if our eyesight is not so good.
    Fixed sized fonts seem to be very popular with webmasters. I guess the View &gt; Text Size option should just be removed from browsers and we can get a magnifying glass.

    FWIW, it is possible to increase browser text size when using Mozilla.

  • Tiger becoming more picky about fonts?

    Background: I have a lot of fonts installed. It would not surprise me at all to learn that some of them are defective.
    I have not, however, installed any very recently. Suddenly, the System and Console logs were full of complaints about bad fonts being detected. Using Font Book to identify problematic fonts and placing those in quarantine has stopped the error messages, but I wondered why the fonts should suddenly be an issue when they were not before? It isn't linked to attempts to use those fonts or anything like that, and the errors showed up in all kinds of applications. It just seemed odd that the system would suddenly notice issues.
    I'm also sure it is not due to the fonts being corrupted. Many of these are also installed for use by LaTeX and the copies there seem to be the same as the copies in the main font folders. It seems unlikely that those copies would have been corrupted in just the same ways as the main system copies.
    - cfr

    Thanks. Here's what I tried:
    1. used Font Book to validate fonts & moved all those it found errors in to another directory (so they don't show up in Font Book now and are effectively disabled)
    -> error messages stopped
    2. used Font Book / manually resolved duplicates (I have one remaining duplicate which isn't actually a duplicate - not sure what to do about that)
    3. disabled a great many fonts in Font Book (but all fonts in /System/Library/Fonts are enabled and all Apple supplied fonts in /Library/Fonts are enabled)
    -> thought problem was solved
    -> errors reappearing in logs but are Spotlight-specific e.g. "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metada ta.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdimportserver: Unable to use font: no glyphs present." etc.
    -- I'm wondering if Spotlight is running into errors because it is also trying to index the problematic fonts which I'd moved out of the Fonts folders...?
    4. use Font Book to validate fonts
    -> no errors or warnings in Font Book but I see several errors in the system log file such as '/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks /ATS.framework/Versions/A/Support/FontValidator: "pathtofontsfolder/Fonts/_MS-Fonts/Batang.ttf" contains localized PostScript name.'
    Suggestions and/or insight welcome!

  • New Catalog and No More Key Words

    I did a bunch of file housekeeping (empty directories erased and some movement of files to other drives. I created a new catalog and imported all the files again. They all came but without their key words. Did I screw up? I still have my old catalog files.

    Ian,
    Thank you so much for such a simple and clear answer. Can I do a Hybrid where I save the metadata on the files that have not been moved; create a new catalog and then manually apply key words to the files that I have moved?
    Your question indicates you don't really understand how Lightroom stores keywords. By default, the keywords and other metadata are never written to the actual files. So ... moving the files or not has nothing to do with whether or not the metadata will show up on re-import. The metadata should be written to all of your files via Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-S. And as I said in my earlier post, other information in the LR database will not get written to your files when you do Ctrl-S, and will not wind up in the LR catalog upon re-import. And creating new catalogs and re-importing simply isn't the best way to go. So ... forget this hybrid idea, forget this idea of re-importing, go back to your original catalog before the moves and work with that.
