character viewer cant' view fonts, so my language have 52 letters all this letters are not listed in character viewer, so i cant pick that letters, and i installed fonts have that letters, that is big mistake of os x lion, then i am using another pc windows7 for that.

What language are you talking about? You should not need to see fonts in Character Viewer to input any language using the standard Unicode encoding -- input is done via a dedicated keyboard layout.
PopChar is an app that can input characters from individual fonts. Also you can transplant Character Viewer for Snow Leopard to Lion and run it as an independent app if you want.

Font menu in Mountain Lion´s Keyboard Viewer?

I lost track of the font menu in Mountain Lion´s Keyboard Viewer. Where did the font menu go?

Hi,
Do you mean this ?
That's the Character Viewer turned on in System Preferences > Language and Text > Input source tab.

Lion Character viewer "insert with font" option missing.

In Lions character viewer, the "insert with font" option is missing. Anyone who knows how to fix this?

So you find no way to transfer something from Character Viewer, not double clicking, not drag and drop directly or from Favorites?
You might see if the Adobe Forums have something on it.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.

Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:

What are the names of those fonts? Have you downloaded and installed the special Zawgyi font?
What is it exactly that you cannot read? Can you provide the url?

How to get character viewer to show a specific font

Previously you could specify a font to see it's characters and glyphs. Now I don't see how to do that. What am I missing? or has that gone the way of font specification in the keyboard viewer too?

Yes, this feature has been omitted from Lion Character Viewer. You might try PopChar. And you can ask Apple to put it back here:

Mail - OSX Lion - Can't change font in mail list

OSX Lion seems incapable of changing the font in the mail list on the left side. The default is a horrendous, teeny tiny font. Going to Preferences > Fonts and Colors and choosing message list font reveals a font picker. All the other font settings work in this view except the message list font.
If you go to the "Classic" (aka ugly) view, your message list font changes work.
I am a big believer in software aesthetics, particularly in an app you are staring at all day.
Please, oh please, Apple tell me this is not a default behavior! At the very least, if is truly is impossible to change this, and the over-50 crowd must squint at mail all day, indicate somewhere in the prefs panel that this will not work in the new view.
I'm really hoping there's a solution for this. As cool as the new mail app is, this would be a deal breaker that would send me running back to Sparrow.

"changing the font in the mail list on the left side"
You can change the size of the font (just not the font type) here: Preferences - General - Sidebar icon size.

Viewing pdfs with Quick Look is too small in Lion?

I tried to search for this everywhere and I didn't see much input.
I'm a grad student in the biomedical sciences. I need to keep a large library of pdfs for my work and one of the best things about switching to a mac was being able to use quick look to quickly browse pdfs instead of having to open tons of files just to find what I need. Often I'll be looking for specific information and in Snow Leopard I could read an entire pdf article using quicklook because the pdf filled the screen.
In Lion quick look doesn't make the pdfs large enough to actually read, except for the title of articles.
In Lion I can't zoom in pdfs and I can't seem to get the pdfs very big with quicklook no matter if I am in full screen mode or resize the window etc. I don't actually even understand why full screen is an option for previewing pdfs in Lion because it only makes them fractionally larger than they are in the regular viewing window...(on a 13inch MBP anyway)
Am I missing something?
I just upgraded to Lion with the 10.7.3 update btw and I have spent the past several days tweaking Lion to get it back just the way I want it. This feels like the final stumbling block...
I guess I was just wondering
a) is there anything I can do to remedy the situation besides simply getting used to opening the files in preview (which of course I do eventually anyway)
b) am I really the only one bothered by this? It seems really subpar compared to how quick look worked in Snow Leopard but after trolling the web for about an hour I've found scarcly any mention of the issue...
Thanks in advance for any input and if by any chance this bothers you as well please send apple feedback (which I just did).

Ok, I will send this comment also to Apple feedback.
I appreciate your efforts to point out possible solutions (which I tried out before posting here).
Despite the fact that they don't work here (font resolution is too poor to be readable when enlarged through the magnifier) I would still consider this issue a downgrade with respect to previous versions of OS X just because it would require more efforts to arrive at the same results compared to simply enlarging the window with one mouse/trackpad move. A lower screen resolution can definitely not be the preferred solution. I'm far from being blind and I enjoy my current screen resolution.
Dragging things into the preview app is not favorable either: I want to have a quicklook and don't want to bother actually opening lots of files at a time.

Finally upgraded to Lions OSX. The Mac screen is now hard to view as everything has a grey tinge. How can I improve this? Tried

Finally took the plungs and upgraded to Lion OSx so that I could access icloud. Everything worked ok but I now find it difficult to view the screen. Everything has a grey tinge and with my poor eyesight it's really frustrating. Zooming in is ok but I would really like more contrast. What was wrong with crisp white and deep black? Have tried to change the profiles in System Preferences but it's confusing to follow and after 3 attempts I still don't like any of the profiles. My photos all have an unnatural colour now. How can I improve this and bring everything back to 'normal'? Whose 'bright' (?) idea was it to make everyting grey and why???

Thanks. Very helpful. It's now less of a strain for me. But the fonts are still too pale. I really need to be able to read words that are black. In Mail, the sender and headings are dark enough, but the content is still too light for me to read without straining. Any other suggestions?

After installing lion and updating to pages 4.1 cannot view my document content after I open the document. Shows how many pages I have and how many words in word count, but no words...

Same problem. Tried reinstalling Pages. Didn't help. The behavior is like I am typing with a white font on a white background, but I am not.

Missing Unicode font in Character Viewer

The OS 10.6 Character Viewer has a View menu from which one can select the Glyph mode then select a font from the Font menu. How can I get Lion's CV to display my Unicode font and allow me to insert its characters into documents?

Thanks for that info! I found a character map at
http://www.wix.com/virtualconservatory/home#!menu/vstc1=character-maps
It's a bit odd they would call these "unicode" fonts, since they replace almost all the required unicode glyphs with specialized music symbols. Normally they would be called "non-unicode" unless they put all that into the Private Use Area.
Glad you were able to solve your problem!

What happened to glyph option in character viewer in Lion?

The character viewer has changed and I frequently use this to access glyphs. Am I missing something?

Apple decided to omit the View = Glyph option in Lion. I think it is a big mistake. The place to tell them is
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I don't have popchar, but the stuff I read sure makes it sound like you can select a font and access its glyphs, e.g.

Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution, Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, the text in my nav bar and inside browsers (generally all around) seem to be smaller and possibly different (thinner) to what they were before.
I would like to revert back to their previous appearance, but after reading various threads and playing around, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the font has been changed, the size adjusted, or the screen/display resolution changed.
I tried suggestions like clearing font cache with Onyx and testing different Display resolutions, but didn't manage to get it back to how it was before the OS upgrade.
Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction please. TIA.

Could you post a screenshot showing your main menu bar and the Finder sidebar, please? This way we could compare the fonts used.
For me the system fonts look like this in Mt. Lion on a 17" MBP with the "Display" System Preferences set to "Best for Built-in Display":
I have the Finder's View option set to use 16pt fonts, but other than that is there no way to change the the fonts used without changing the Display resolution.
One more option you may want to check are the "Contrast" settings in the "Accessibilty" System Preferences. If you set the contrast to a very high value will the text appear to be very thin and hard to read.

HT5379 What is the Licence situation with the fonts included with OS X Mountain Lion (in particular Silom font)? Can these be used for commercial use?

I'm keen to use Silom in a logo lockup that I'm creating for a national campaign - but can't find any info on purchasing an extended licence anywhere. Is this even possible with OSX system fonts?

Hi,
I have re-read the thread as it has been some time since this was written.
In brief:-
The Sounds only play if another App is "in Front" of Messages (for example Safari is listed in the Menu bar)
Also they have to be set in Messages Menu > Preferences > Alerts and Notifications in System Preferences have to be on as well if you want to see the Banner or Alert type pop ups.
Setting No Sound for an action in Messages also overrides the Sound option in Notifications in System Preferences.
The com.apple.ichat.plist does hold the info on the sounds chosen for the actions.
It also holds the info on Sounds set individually for Buddies via the Buddy Lists.
None of the other ichat.plists, the IMAgent one or the two iMessages ones hold any info on this.
The majority of the Thread above deals with the Notifications sound and the different type of pop ups that alert you to things happening in Messages when it is hidden from view by another app.
Some sounds should still play even if the App is in "front" of others such as the Sound connected with Sending iMessages or Text IMs to Buddies.
Also the sounds for Buddies becoming Available or Going Off Line should still play if set.
You appear to imply you are losing the sound of one event without actually stating which sound and which action.
The Default sound for Messages Sent is s sort of "woowhit" where as the Message Received Sound is a more "woo" only noise.
If things have changed then some ideas about that might be helpful.
