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.

Smiley face icon: what is it?

a smiley face icon has appeared on my screen above my application icons (right where you get the email notification icon or the icon that shows you've received/missed a call). i've never seen one of these before and can't figure out what it's trying to tell me, though there is a little number '1' showing right next to it. if anyone can tell me what this is, i'd appreciate the help!
thanks!!

I am completely computer illiterate, just so you know. So I will tell you exactly what I see.
When I go to applications and select blackberry messenger the screen comes up;
Contact List
Current Conversations
-none-
then there are some other lines, but they are covered by a box that says "Please enter your name......."
There are OK and Cancel buttons but they are not highlighted. I can highlight them by scrolling to them.
If I select OK, I get "Your name cannot be empty". If I select cancel, it sends me back to the Applications menu with Blackberry Messenger, the calculator, Memopad, etc.
Sorry that I'm just not good at this stuff.

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

Smiley Face icon appearing

Hi there, there is a smiley face icon that appears at the top of the screen every night at around 7:30, and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. I have been on the phone with bell technical solutions and they haven't given me any help. There is no message that goes with the icon, and there is no bbm messages or notifications. The smiley face itself is beige. The only advice bell gave me was to do a factory reset of my device, and i don't really want to do that. If that is the only solution, and I backup my contacts and everything to my computer, what happens to the apps that I have paid for?
Kind of a loaded question,
thanks

(You could just hit REPLY in the original thread where you started, rather than starting a NEW thread for an answer. I'll ask to have the two threads merged).
None of those sound like one that gives a smiley face icon.. .and I asked, is it beige, or yellow?

Yellow smiley face icon

Hey guys. I have a BB Curve 9300 and on the top of the screen, next to my notifiers, there's a yellow teardropped shape smiley icon and because the features of the icon is not as defined as the other notifier icons, I suspect it to be a virus. I don't have any unopened notifications and did not subscribe to Yahoo. I'm baffled. A little advice please. Thanks.

No, it's not a virus. BlackBerrys have never gotten and are not yet susceptible to any virus, you're not the first. I don't understand why users jump to that first off.
It's a third party application notification of some sort. Since I don't know what third party apps you have installed, I can't say which, but if you'll check each of your apps for a notification or message or alert, I'm sure you'll find it.
The Yahoo Messenger icon is not tear-drop shaped, but is a round yellow smiley face .

Smiley Face Appears on 8310

I have a small Smiley Face icon on top of desktop that appeared with small red asterisk like it is new. The same sort of thing when receive a new email. Don't know why it appeared or how to access/remove.
I have deleted all Messages and it continues to appear like it is in some other folder.
Thanks for any assistance.

If the device was unlocked in the past to use on a different carrer, that can't be undone or lost. Unlocked is unlocked is unlocked.
Have you look in your main Messages folder (if you are using an email specific folder)?
Have you opened BlackBerry Messenger?
This has nothing to do with Desktop Manager.

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

How to increase font size on the finder and menu bar

how to increase font size on the finder and menu bar

When I use Find Font command from Type menu, the overprint fill changed!

Can any one tell why the overprint fill attribute checked when I use Find Font from Type menu to simple change the font.
Try this Illustrator file from this URL:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BysC4QT512vCY2YzZDRkMGEtMjNmMy00MDE2LWFmNzQtNTBhNDQ5MTBlO Dk1
and change the font of letter B in the illustration using Find Font command to and font and notice how the overprint fill changed from uncheched to checked.

The problem happens here, even if I first change the color to CMYK 0000 prior to using find font.
Anything we need to know about the history of this file, was it originally a pdf, or those text objects.
Manually changing the font does not turn overprint on, Find Font is toggling the overprint value in the code for this probably due to somehting abnormal in the code, or maybe be associated to this font's name triggers this glitch.

Ichat smiley faces in snow leopard

hey all,
i searched but couldn't find a topic about this anywhere, so i thought it would be appropriate to make a new post.
sometime after i installed snow leopard i noticed that smiley faces now appear in the preview bar (like before you view a message, ichat gives the persons name and a little preview of the message) which is great, but then when i look at the message i dont see the actual image version of the emoticon, just the semi colon and parentheses or whatever they sent. hopefully i made this as clear as possible. do any of you know how i could fix this? obviously its not a huge issue but its a bit irritating.
thanks everyone

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I am not sure I have it totally.
Are you saying that when you get a Text Chat Invite - what you can see of the Message may include a Smiley that appears in Picture form but when you open that the Text only shows the text form of that Smiley ?
Do you have Show Smiley's Off in the iChat View Menu > Messages sub menu ?
I thinks this may be a quirk between the Invite settings view and the options not to Show Smileys in the Menu mentioned.

Unknown Smiley-type icon in the message area

Next to my bluetooth icon is a * with a 1 to the left. What does this signify? I cannot find any mention of such an icon anywhere... It is in the message count area... Mine goes a number of messages then bluetooth and then the smiley. HELP!!! It is driving me crazy and it is a short journey lately
Solved!

Welcme to the Frums!
I believe that smiley face may possibly be your blackberry messenger. Open up your messenger and see if you have a message waiting. It will be either the blue blackberry symbol or red blackberry symbol.

Button icons from finder and safari gone

My iMac updated Safari on 8-13-14 and ever since then the icons from the navigation menu of both Safari and Finder have Disappeared. What do I do to Fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Corrupt font menu

The following have suddenly appeared in the Font Menus of Illustrator CS3,
InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS3:
GIMBQP+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Demi (= Helvetica Bold Condensed Oblique)
HWPXJN+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book (= Helvetica Bold Condensed Oblique)
ZWOQBD+ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book (= a spindly pixellated thing).
The Franklin Gothic Standard OpenType family is installed and displaying
correctly in the Font Menu. Fonts are managed by Linotype FontExplorer.
Illustrator CS4 is not affected, nor is any other application.
I have deleted all the AdobeFnt.lst files. No joy.
As only the CS3 applications are affected, there must be a Preference or
Cache or Database file somewhere that is specific to them. I've searched and
experimented but can't find the culprit.
Has anyone encountered this and found a solution?

Well, I've re-opened documents that I had been working on when the problem
occurred and they're all fine. So it will have to remain a mystery.
