Openbox Install default font strange

I have installed OpenBox and using Slim as the session manager..This is an independent install and I do not have GNOME/KDE alongside OpenBox.
I installed X and Nvidia 173...
The X session loaded fine , but the fonts appear to be strange and different from default
For example , when I open Opera Browser ,all the Web pages look different and wordings appear too small.. Also the std OB menu also has these small fonts!
How can I bring the default look?
Has it got anything to do with installing Gtk or Qt themes?

Thanks Bubblerap....
I think OBox to set up on its own is too tough (at least for me) as I am a non techie and morever I guess I am too lazy to tweak everything...Now I realize the plug and play DE is the best for me..
I have gone back to Classic KDE ..
Thanks for your time and the solution..
I appreciate it,

MACOSX 10.4 (Tiger OS) PowerPC based systems is certified on Oracle Database release 10gR1 (10.1.0.5).
well, the certification tab doesnt talk about Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard). I don't think it's not certified yet. But if its for learning purpose, you can always give it a try. :)

Installed fonts (mac Default font) in my Font Book doesn't show up in photoshop CC

Hello, I'm in trouble with fonts.
I'm using mac OS X 10.9.4 mavericks.
I want to use 'HanziPen SC' which is already installed in my Font book but it doesn't show up in photoshop CC.
It has been default font since mavericks, maybe.
And I have same situation in AI as well.
I've already tried to clear cache and reboot photoshop but it didn't work to me.
Does anyone help me?

Thank you for your kindness!
It was solved!
But in my case, the reason why it didn't show up was veeeery stupid...
I checked out Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/CT Font Cache/Adobe_Fnt_OSFont.lst
Then, there was 'HanziPen SC' and I found out surprising fact!
Its Writing script was 'Chinese'!!
So I couldn't find 'HanziPen' even though I typed 'HanziPen'.
It has been shown up in Chinese...
What I did is to over write WritingScript,FamilyNameNative,StyleNameNative,FullNameNative to Japanese.
I don't know why it happened to me at all. but anyway, finally I was able to see the one in photoshop CC.
Again, Thank you for your kindness. If you didn't suggested about cache files, I might have not found out the answer.
Thank you!!!!

Installing downloads to change default font size???

Hello all,
I am in desperate need of some guidance on the proper way to install a download from the market place. I am blind as a bat and cannot see the default font on any menu. I found "Font Changer" and it said in the description that one would be able to have some control and be able to change font size to be larger and more readable. I found sense analog clock which is big enough for me to read (Thank Goodness) and handcent for texting so I can at least read the texts coming in, although at this point texts come in and I not sure yet why, probably a default setting, but type is to small to read! So let's just say that I am kinda a dummy when it comes to this Droid Pro and making it a user friendly phone. FORMER BLACK BERRY USER!! I am trying desperatley to keep this phone and not end up returning it...out of frustration of my inability to be able to see or read the phones menus, etc. I guess I am just trying to find a relatively easy way to find, install, and use the ability to make bigger fonts on phone!! I welcome ANY advise or direction!! I just know I NEED HELP!!
Thank you very much, I am really glad there is a forum for us here who are not quite up to speed.
Sincerely.
Eugene, Oregon

Hello ^^ I used to use an app called Go SMS. It was a messaging app that you could customise and stuff. It's easy to change the fonts using that if you want it for just messsages ^^ I used to use ADW Launcher and ADW Launcher X too and I can't remember but I believe you might be able to change font size there? I know you can change the size on the home screen. But since I used the droid 1, it slowed my phone down so I stopped using it all. But I think if your phone has a larger processer it should work find. I think. OTL Good luck!

Default Fonts Screwed Up After Installing New Fonts

I installed a bunch of new fonts, and now Arial maps to some other font, and other fonts around the system are changed. Email headers and subject in Thunderbird are nearly unreadable because they show up as some other font. I tried removing the fonts that they default to, and they just default to another one.
I tried changing the default fonts in Thunderbird back and it doesn't work...still shows the wrong fonts.

Excellent! Good catch.
I downloaded the font to take a look at its structure. Perfect example of yet another clod who didn't change all of the internal names when they modified an existing font to make a new one. In this case, they didn't change the PS Font Name. It was still TimesNewRomanPSMT.

Help! Where'd my default fonts go?

We use FontReserve at work (which I loathe). And a few weeks ago I opened a Quark file and BAM! ...all my resident Mac programs went wacky: Mail, AddressBook, iCal, Safari... And they stayed that way even after I closed the file, closed Quark, and even turned off all the fonts in FR.
I told our IT guys that I thought FR had over-rode Apple's default font(s). But they went ahead and did all sorts of deleting and replacing... and now, everything is even more wacky!
I can turn on headers in Mail without TONS of space in between them (I have to scroll for days just to read an email), and the only message font I can choose from is Monaco (yuk). AddressBook, iCal and Safari are readable, but look very weird... the font is strangly thin, and there are no bolds or italics to be found.
All I want is to have my default Apple fonts back!
Help?
tia,
e

The advice about Pacifist on the FAQ was right-on. I grabbed my Tiger install DVD, used Pacifist to extract JUST the original font folders, and it automatically installed them in the right places... and VIOLA! All good!
Turns out, my IT peeps had erased the Helvetica! ...Um, thanks guys?

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 ?

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 , for this >>
http://store2.up-00.com/Mar11/AJG18655.png << ?

Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:
http://screencast.com/t/ZTgzOTM3Y
Then right click bring up this menu while inside active field and click on item with arrrow:
http://screencast.com/t/ZTRjMWRkMzk
Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
A. Your advice is incorrect
B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.

How do you change the default font in Outlook 2013?

I am trying to set the default font in Outlook 2013 as per the customer's request and am having no success.
First I create a NormalEmail.dotm file and added it to the Office Customization Tool, created an msp and added it to my package. After installing Office 2013 I check and the NormalEmail.dotm
is on the machine in %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates folder waiting to be loaded. When launching Outlook 2013 on first run it renames my NormalEmail.dotm to NormalEmail15Pre.dotm. I created the file in Word 2013 so it's not a 2010 version and it (NormalEmail15Pre.dotm)
open cleanly in Word 2013 (it does not open in compatibility mode). If I close Outlook and rename NormalEmail15Pre.dotm back to NormalEmail.dotm Outlook opens and uses my template without any issue. This is not a solution as I have 1000's of deployments
and can't do this manually. One other thing, I did have this same problem with the default font in Word 2013 but by implementing a registry setting (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\MigrateNotmalOnFirstBoot = 1) it used my Normal.dotm
template on first run, if such a setting exists for Outlook I can't find it.
Also I did try to set the font through the mailsettings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings) in the registry as we did with O2007 and O2010 but
those do not load into Outlook when tweaked.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2009/04/24/how-to-deploy-specific-fonts-in-office-2007.aspx
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I found out how you can set it.
You need two registry keys to be set in order to keep the preloaded settings.(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings)
These are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\LanguageResources]
"LangTuneUp"="OfficeCompleted"
"OutlookChangeInstallLanguage"="Yes"
both are String entries.

Error while loading shared libraries after installing cleartype fonts.

Hi there.!
Since the default fonts of Arch looked quite ugly on my LCD, I read the Fonts wiki and installed cleartype packages from AUR.But now, when I try switching to runlevel 5 (I use GDM by the way), it throws up following error:
/usr/sbin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I didn't edit the pkgbuilds in any way.Running "locate libcairo.so" doesn't show up anything either.
Any help guys.?

Well you have two choices, use windows XP or google for 'fonts linux ugly'
or there is a search feature on this forum, it works well.
setting a right DPI will probably make your fonts look the best no matter what packages you install or ~/.fonts file you use.

Xorg Fails to Start: Could Not Open Default Font 'Fixed'

After an absence from my Arch system, I tried to fire it up today and found that Xorg7 now fails to load, telling me that it "could not open default font 'fixed'". I have done a "find" on my whole partition - there is no font file called "fixed*" at all on the system. Just for fun, since I have an older SuSE 9.3 on another partition on the same machine, I searched it too - no files called "fixed*" at all.
Does anyone recognize this error, and know what to do about it?
I haven't touched this partition in probably 6 months (long story). I do have a triple boot on this machine, with the SuSE I mentioned above and also Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I have been running the odd update on those two OS's - I suppose they might have crept onto my Arch partition and messed things up...
Anyway, any and all thoughts much appreciated. I am pretty much dead in the water with Arch. I am running Arch 0.7.2, on a 3.0 GHz Pentium IV HT with 1 GB of RAM.

Hi Guys, thanks for the help. I haven't been able to get back to this for a bit but I finally did tonight. sh___, your tip did the trick. I did the grep and sure enough, fixed WAS on the system, it just clearly was not in the font path. I started backtracking and found that it had been commented out of the font path in xorg.conf. As soon as I uncommented it, X11 was back. Phew!
HOWEVER, XFCE4 is totally borked. It appears that one of my Ubuntu updates wandered onto my Arch partition and kindly updated parts of XFCE4, leaving the whole completely unworkable. Happily, I also have KDE installed on Arch, and was at least able to get an X environment back from which to work on the XFCE4 problem. I am now updating XFCE4 completely to the current version - that should restore version harmony and hopefully all will be well. We shall see! Thanks again.

Reinstalling Default Fonts in Mountain Lion

Hi,
After buying the new iMac and have used it for two day I noticed that some files were in the Trash folder including the Fonts folder (don't ask me how they got there becuase I would swear I didn't move them). Since I didn't know where the Fonts folder belones to (system or user folder) I search on the internet and some people sugested doing a restore using Font Book (File>Restore Standard Fonts), but this made it worse since when it when and check it deletes the existing folders so now I only have the folder that was in the trash and I'm for sure missing one folder.
Is there a way to reinstall the default fonts in Mountain Lion without reinstalling the operating system?
This is the only thing I found but this will reinstall the OS.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4201528?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks a lot

You can use FontBook to find and delete duplicates.
Have you checked for updates for your iWork?
I did use FontBook to delete the duplicates.
The applications were working fine before the reinstall, I checked for updates but it doesn’t show any for these applications.
My problem with this is that I cannot reinstall these applications since I have them in a DVD and my computer doesn’t have a DVD drive. I installed them sharing the DVD drive from my old MacBook but I sold it two days ago, the only thing I have is an Acer laptop but I don’t know if it is possible to share the drive.
Is there a way to somehow put my DVDs in a USB drive, so I can install them without needing a DVD drive (assuming I can barrow my nephews Mac which has a DVD drive)?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How to set default font color in Pages

I don't know why. I did a standard clean install of iWork 08. In Pages, everytime I select to insert a text box, the color of the font defaults to brown rather than black. It's a pain to change it to black all the time. Also I noticed that when I select to insert a line, it also defaults to brown. Any thoughts on why this is happening as the default color and how to fix it?
Also, almost evertime I do the option click on the text box icon to draw a text box, the cursor changes to the crosshair but the box allows me to draw the with size, but the length of the column automatically can't be drawn- it extends instead all the way off the bottom of the page. In other words I can't really draw the text box to the size I need. I'm new to Pages.

Problem with Arial/ default font

I don't know if Mac has a default font option, but I hope they do! Last week I was working as usual when I noticed some websites were not displaying correctly. After some investigation, I realized it was my Arial font. It happens in Word and Acrobat also. What it looks like is that my default Arial font was replaced with another font. When I go to Font Book or the Fonts folder and look at my Arial font, though, it is fine. I did install some fonts recently, as I have done in the past, and this is the first time I have seen such a problem. I am content with just changing my default font to something else, if I could figure out how! Thanks.

If you did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard it is not uncommon to have some minor font problems and possibly one or more major problems.
Click on Go>Applications>Font Book.
In Font Book choose All Fonts in the 1st column, then click into the second column.
Check for a black dot to the right of any of the fonts in the list in the second column.
If there are any dots the click on Edit>Select All.
Next Edit>Resolve Duplicates.
Next File>Validate Fonts.
Wait until it checks all the fonts and it will tell you how many have major problems and how many have minor problems.
If you have a fairly significant number of problems you should probably reinstall the System Fonts.
You can do that with an archive and install but there is an easier way.
In Safari search for Pacifist.
Download it.
Insert your Leopard install disk while it is downloading.
Run Pacifist and choose to have it Open Apple Install Disks.
It will reveal the contents of the install disk.
The fonts are located by going to Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware>Contents of BaseSystem.pkg>System>Library>Fonts.
Click on the Fonts folder to choose it and then click on Install in the upper left corner
This will reinstall the System Fonts and overwrite its folder.
It will ask you if you want to overwrite the fonts, choose yes and tell it not to ask you again.
After the reinstall, restart your computer.
The go to Applications and run Font Book again.
Select the second column by clicking into it and then choosing Select All from the Edit menu.
Choose Resolve Duplicates from the Edit menu.
Select Validate fonts from the File menu and put a checkmark to the left of any problem fonts.
Choose Remove Checked.
