Only 10 fonts in Font Book, though all seem to be working

Only 10 fonts appear in Leopard Font Book, though the standard font palette in Pages etc indicates that all my hundreds of fonts are working. I've tried "adding" my User Fonts folder to no avail, and deep cleaning all caches with Leopard Cache Cleaner didn't help either.
Am I alone, and if not, is there a fix for this?

Answering this and the next posting in one:
The fonts listed in the User list are:
Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold
Abadi MT Condensed Light
Adobe Garamond
Adobe Jenson
Adobe Wood Type
AkzidenzGrotesk
Andale Mono
Frutiger
ITC Anna
ITC Fenice
These are the same 10 that I mentioned in my original posting.
Of these, only Fenice is marked as a duplicate, but the Resolve Duplicates command does nothing. None of the listed fonts can be disabled using the checkbox or menu command.
If further User fonts are manually loaded, many (in fact most) of them are marked as duplicates, but the same comments apply (i.e. neither Resolve Duplicates nor Disable does anything).
After a number (a dozen or so) fonts are manually added, Font Book will start to crash with each addition.
My Leopard installation was Customized to avoid installing the additional Asian fonts. Subsequently, I reinstalled (using Pacifist), the /System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts folders. I then placed my other fonts into /Users/Home/Library/Fonts manually, but although they function correctly in applications, Font Book does not see them and will not load them, either all at once or a few at a time. The fonts have a variety of origins including Adobe, Microsoft and others, but all of them have previously been verified OK by both Font Book (Tiger edition) and Font Doctor.

  • My laptop windows vista home, hp dv6, inbuilt speaker no sound though all functions show as working

    the inbuilt speaker of my laptop windows vista home hp dv6 no sound, though all functions working. 

    Hi,
    please check if the external speakers/headphone are working fine? if yes, i suspect the internal speakers or the drivers.
    if external also does not work, follow steps here.

    also, did you get the Vista pre-installed from HP ? i do not think dv6-3k or dv6-6k were shipped with Vista.
    hope it helps

    Asking for assistance with the above topic

    I got it working with the help of Live Chat tech support. There was some sort of error happening with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop was now a problem with the new version. I updated the graphic card driver and software via the manufacturer's website and that helped me get through.
    After updating the driver... at first it felt like I was going backward a bit... I got an expired trial period error again on opening Photoshop the first time, but then I tried again logging out and logging back in to CC as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately- launch.html ) ... and this time that helped fix the trial error and this time that was not followed by crashing (thanks to the graphics driver update).
    I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver I was running did not work with Photoshop CC. I have now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything is working now.
    Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics card as the issue!

  • TS3899 I am receiving incoming emails on my iphone5, but my replies sit in the out box for days.  I have checked the IP address, etc and that all seems to be correct.  Any suggestions please?

    I recently purchased an iphone 5. 
    All the settings have been copied over from my MacPro and all seems to be working fine EXCEPT for out going emails. 
    Emails come in even when I am out at work, but can I reply - NO - replies sit in the out box for days and then suddenly disappear.  I have check all the settings and they seems fine.  I have tried turning off the wireless and turning it back on.  Some time that works. 
    Why am unable to send emails even when I am at home near my router?  
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

    OK, that at least means that you won't have to start from scratch again;-)
    You could try to re-install only the SyncServices.framework framework since that seems to be broken or corrupt - using Pacifist, you can re-install only parts of the original system from your original disks.
    Another approach would be to re-install the latest system update - this is probably the easier solution and might already be enough:

  • IMovie text library only shows 1 font, previously it would access all the fonts on my MacBook Pro - how do I get them back into the iMovie library?

    iMovie has lost contact with my font libraries. It only shows 1 font and I do not know how to re-connect it with the font libraries

    Hello there ATCLTD,
    I was think these troubleshooting steps will be the best for the issue you describe.
    First I would perform a safeboot with this article named Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564.
    To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
    And perhaps this article to troubleshoot duplicate fonts, which can cause all kinds of wonky activity.

  • InDesign CS5.5 doesn't show the fonts in Font Book

    I recently upgraded to CS5.5 Premium at the same time as I upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    While I am asking this question about InDesign, all programs in the package (Illustrator, etc.) seem to have the same problem:
    They don't recognise the fonts I have already installed in Font Book – TT, OT, or whatever type.
    Has anyone else come across this issue?
    In InDesign the only way round it seems to be to add the fonts I need to InDesign's fonts folder. But that doesn't change anything for Illustrator.
    I hope someone can help.

    You don't really install fonts IN Font Book. You just use Font Book to place new fonts in one of two locations on your Mac. If you look at Collections in the upper left corner of the Font Book screen you should see one called User and one called Computer. These are really just references to:
    Users > [yourname] > Library > Fonts
    and
    [computername] > Library > Fonts
    Look in those two folders and see if the fonts are there.
    All applications on your computer should show those fonts in their font menus. Do the fonts show up in other applications like TextEdit or Word?
    BTW, there is the possibility you could have had problems with your 10.6.8 install. You might try running the 10.6.8 Update Combo as described in this article:

  • Changing fonts in iphoto book very buggy

    When I tried to change either the font or font size on the cover and it OK, all fonts throughout the book changed. When clicking on return to default all fonts changed again, but not to the original default font........help.

    I found some strange behaviour when changing fonts in a calendar I was producing. I found that clicking on the +Page Design+ button, which reapplies the default design for a particular page, fixed the problem for me. Annoying, though!

  • I want every email I send through gmail to be written in Verdana font, but NOT to view all pages in that font.

    Every time myself or my colleague sends an email through our google apps account we have to change the font to verdana. we can't seem to find ANY way (neither in the gmail settings nor in the firefox settings) to change it so that all of our outgoing messages are written in Verdana.
    I went to firefox preferences and found the font settings and changed them all to verdana and UN-checked "allow pages to select their own fonts", however, then ALL fonts were changed to verdana, including our signature at the bottom of each email (which we don't want in verdana) and also all of the gmail pages appear in verdana as well. We just want our outgoing messages (except fro the signature at the bottom) to be in Verdana, and I can't figure out how to do it.
    Also, when in the Firefox Preferences / Content / Fonts & Colors, I'm not really sure what each part means. For example, what does "default font" refer to??? Visualization of web pages will be in that font? or writing that I myself do? Also, then once entering into Advanced, I'm not sure what each scroll-down menu refers to: Proportional, Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace?? Which one of those should I make Verdana? And, what should the rest be if I just want to "normal" (default?) settings.
    Please help. Thank you very much.

    >>So I guess even the computer geniuses cant work out
    my problem
    Guess as you wish but you are wrong. Centering a site is
    reasonably
    simple... if you are willing to deal with code. There is no
    "Center Site"
    button. Design view is OK but extremely limited. If you are
    willing to
    settle for those limitations, and obviously you are not, you
    will be fine.
    Clearly this approach is not acceptable so you have to move
    to the next
    level -> An understanding of HTML & CSS and most
    importantly, how they
    interact. I could give you the code but your next question
    would be, "Where
    do I put it?".
    >>I thought you guys would be up for a challenge.
    We are. Are you?
    >>Or will I have to start from scratch again?
    That is the only way but only if you can figure out how your
    code got so
    badly mangled. Otherwise, you are likely to arrive at the
    same result.
    Please trust me when I say if you had build that entire page
    from DW's
    design view and never touched the code it is impossible for
    the page code to
    be what it is. If the page was actually build in DW design
    view someone
    subsequently took a hatchet to the code DW produces.

  • Installing Fonts with Font Book

    I recieved an Illustrator file to work on from a collegue. In addtion, they packaged the fonts that I needed to work with the file. When I unpackaged the file, the fonts showed up as a post script font, but would not load into Font Book. When I tried to add them through font book, I could see the files, but could not select them they were "greyed-out." If I doubleclick the file it opens up Font Book, but won't do anything else.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
    Adobe Garamond
    AGarBol
    AGarBolIta
    AGarIta
    AGarReg
    AGarSem
    AGarSemIta
    The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
    1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
    2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
    3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

    What are the names of those fonts?  Have you downloaded and installed the special Zawgyi font?

  • Photoshop CC: Missing Fonts on Startup, only a few fonts are displayed as replacement options

    I have a Photoshop document which uses some Fonts that I don't have on my Windows PC. When I open the document, I get a Dialog Box called "Missing Fonts", which states:
    "Some fonts used in this document are missing. You can sync matching fonts from Typekit, or replace missing fonts with a default or different font used in this document"
    This text suggests that I can only replace missing fonts with other fonts already being used in this document. However, I want to replace a missing font with a font that is not yet used in this document. Why can I only replace a missing font with another font already used in the document? For example, I want to replace "Helvetica Neue" with "Liberation Sans", however Liberation Sans is not offered in the Dropdown box, even though it is installed, as it is not yet used in the document. What is the point of only allowing to replace a missing font with a font that is already used in the document, and not with any font installed on the system??
    Thanks,
    best regards,
    Chris

    I'm a windows user so I do not know  the Adobe Photoshop environment on the Mac or the versions of Mac OS.  The only suggestion I could make would then be try using Adobe Cleaner to clean off Photoshop then  install Photoshop  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Missing fonts in font book

    Not sure what has happened after I restarted my iMac - I have lost the majority of the fonts in Font Book.
    Is there a way of finding or reloading them?

    Are you sure that in the Collection column at the left you have All Fonts selected?

  • Can't add any fonts to font book

    I can in no way known to me add any font to font book. (Known ways: from the menu, from the + button, double clicking the font file which then gets displayed in a font book window with an activate button—pressing that button.) Neither of these adds a font (legally owned, operational and running on a second mac flawlessly). I shifted my fonts folder, of course no change. I never experienced this. Any idea?

    Font book does not add fonts regardless of restarting with shift held down - safe start.
    That is correct. While in Safe Mode, you cannot add any fonts. The OS only allows certain necessary fonts to load.
    If you mean you've done a Safe Mode boot and still cannot add fonts after restarting normally, then there are multiple possible problems:
    1) The fonts are so badly damaged, they can't be used.
    2) They are Type 1 PostScript fonts which are missing the suitcase of screen fonts. Printer outline fonts cannot be used alone.
    3) The OS needs to be reinstalled.

  • 2 fonts in Font Book do NOT  appear in AW WP list

    2 fonts in Font Book do NOT  appear in AW WP list ( I have used them previously on an eMac and iMac)

    Welcome to the forums!
    Do you mean you don't know how to see any fonts at all? If that is the case, use the Font icon in the toolbar, or go to the Format menu, and in the Fonts submenu choose "Show Fonts" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command-T). Any of these methods will bring up the Font Panel.
    If you mean that fonts do not show up in the Font Panel, be sure that the fonts themselves are turned on in Font Book.

    Flash media works only with TrueType fonts. This restriction
    applies to
    all languages, including English.
