Pages Font Issue

OK, long time Mac user (Original Mac, never owned a PC)
Everything was going well after install of 10.7.3. had an email issue and had to access Time Machine to recover a bunch of sent emails. In the process, had to repair permissions, etc and even had to do recover from Root login. Got everything working and got back to work.
Open Pages document and got the following:
This seems to be related to just the ITCAvantGardeStd font we use as an office standard. When some font is highlighted, it shows in the font window as the correct font, size, and weight.
The only other thing I can think of is a few weeks ago, we installed MS Word 11 (don't ask, gotta use it with a peice of software we use) and we had issues with fonts disappearing. The web info stated that this was a known issue and that it had to do with the same fonts being in both user library and system libary. I cleaned these up and everything worked, till yesterday.
Notice it is only the one font that is an issue.
Thought?
Thanks

I went to the Library (user:hidden one), trashed cache file suggested, restarted machine, verified cache file was gone, restarted Pages ...... same result.
As for font type, addressed above, font is an .otf type font. It has been working for a couple of years.
Also, someone above suggested to validate font, I did that, seems to be fine:
So, someone above asked if it worked in other programs, I was not sure I ever validated this. So, I went and checked:
Numbers - same issue
MS Word 11 - When text was highlighted, it said it was ITC Advant Gard - but it wasn't - also, the font was not listed in the available fonts menu.
VectorWorks (CAD program) - it was not listed as available font.
Thoughts?
Thanks for help.

Web page font issues

Hello
I am see some strange font like this &nbsp;from&nbsp; on all the webpages I visit.
I think I should just see the ampersand symbol. Which I can type in email or even now &.
Is this a setting issue in Firefox or is it just that my old laptop running VISTA, service pack 2, 32bit has just seen better days?
thanks
Pete

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When I try and export from pages to word I get an unknown error. No font issues that I know of.

I used to be able to export documents from pages to word. Things seemed to have changed after Lion. Whenever I go to export to Word, I get "an unknown error has occurred". I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue. It's a brand new document with Helvetica as the only font.
Thanks, chadrs

I'm unaware of such change.
May you send the Pages document to my mailbox ?
Click my blue name to get my address.
I would check the way it behaves on my own system.
This way we would know if the culprit is the doc or your system.
You wrote "I tried all the font solutions found on here and everything is validated and I don't think it's a font issue."
Must I understand that you trashed the fonts cache file dedicated to iWork ?
If you didn't (what I assume), trash it for see.
This file is :
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Caches:com.apple.iWork.fonts
For safe I repeat that under Lion, to reach this Library folder we must press the option key while opening the menu "Go to" to be able to trigger the menu item "Library".

Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

I still don’t have a clue…
So far we’re the only 2 reporting this

Converting a PDF to a SWF Font issues

Hi,
Maybe somebody out there has seen this and can guide me in
the right direction?
I am trying to convert PDF files into a flash book using the
flashprinter product.
Here is an example of the PDF I am trying to convert. (you
should see it is using the
following fonts PostScript Fonts - HelveticaNeue-HeavyCond,
HelveticaNeue-LightCond, HelveticaNeue-LightCondObl,
NewsGothic and NewsGothic-Bold).
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/FontProblems.pdf
When this gets converted to the Swf (LOOK at the file ZOOM+
Mode)
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/EZBlue_v11t.swf?RRDid=aFC3tehrg1VGCUIylKIQ
Once I saw what was happening I thought it was a font issue
and I made up a page with all the fonts used by using the ATM
sample viewer.
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/AllFontsUsed.pdf
(Look at the SWF file in the ZOOM + mode view - looks great)
http://www.sendd.com/~webdrop/htdocs/200704/EZBlue_v11t.swf?RRDid=6J5LSHAZKnf9qPXa1VGk
If anybody out there can help that would be great,
thanks,

Hey Joseph,
Please tell me whether you are able to convert any other PDF file to excel format or not?
What exact error message do you get?
Are you trying to convert a scanned PDF document?
Hope to hear from you.

Pages fonts for iPad

Pages for iPad and Mac: I don't know if it the same when using all fonts but when I use the Didot font (my preferred font) on Pages for the iPad, apostrophes appear different to how they do when using the same font on the Macbook version of Pages. I constantly switch between devices and was wondering, does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Or if indeed you have experienced similar problems in terms of the look of your text when using what should be the same settings on iPad and Macbook.
I cannot afford to check for and correct descrepencies (however minor) in the look of my text so I would be very grateful for any advice on this.

I can't speak specifically about this particular font issue - but I can tell you that I lose some formatting when I go from Pages documents on my iPad to the same document on my MacBook. I just don't think that the two apps are completely and totally compatible yet across the different devices. That has been my experience anyway.

Iweb missing font issue

When I open iweb I get a pop up window which tells me that there's a missing font CourierNewPSMT
Could someone tell me how to get rid of it, and it only happens in Freestyle template
I couldn't find CourierNewPSMT font anywhere

Hi,
I suddenly started getting messages in iWeb that said the Font "ArialMT" is substituted for the missing font "Arial".. But it was only happening on new pages I had created.. Can't say what had changed much on my system for this to occur.. But had me baffled because FontBook HAD Arial and NO ArialMT..
Anyway to cut a long story short.. I didn't want Arial as the font anyway as we're changing over to Verdana.. It didn't matter if I selected all on the webpage and changed it all to Verdana, i'd still get the error message regarding ArialMT and Arial..
So my fix was to navigate to: ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
1. Copy the file "Domain" somewhere else as a backup (desktop is good)
2. Right click on the "Domain" file inside ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and Show Package Contents
Now this is where many people say open index.xml.gz and look for the problem fonts.. Well in my experience index.xml doesn't have any code regarding fonts.. SO another folder caught my attention inside "Domain" called "domain-0B29016B-4545-4DC4-9DDB-74AA1E25AJ34.. If you have this folder it will probably have a different string of letters and numbers to mine..
3. Go into your "domain-xxx etc" folder and navigate down to the first compressed xml file you can fint.. I had like 30 because I have almost 30 blog type pages in my site (just the way its designed I guess).. Anyway if you uncompress the .xml.gz file you've found and open that in text edit you'll probably be able to find font information in there.
As I had many to have to find and replace on I found it easier, to select all the .gz files and open them all together which mass uncompressed them in their relative locations.. Then I had to go through and delete the original .gz files otherwise iWeb won't save and publish the code changes you make. In otherwords, you need to have ONLY .xml files left over and iWeb will recompress them when you save in iWeb next.. I also used dreamweaver to mass find and replace the code, but textedit can do it one by one.
Hope this helps anyone having this issue..
I know if I went and made a brand new page in iWeb it will get this font issue again on the new page.. So my next task is to find the original template files and change the font instances in it so new pages don't cause headaches..

Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Browser Font Issue

Hi, i'm running lion 10.7.4 on my imac (mid 2011, i7) I have safari, google chrome, and firefox available, but I get the same odd fonts showing up on ebay for example. The font looks like times in some of the menus and sign in area, yet elswhere on the page the fonts look fine.
I think it may be a system font glitch but can't seem to find what is causing it.
I don't have the same problem on my old G5 so can someone help?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Bee, thanks for the help...
i did load up suitcase and noticed a few fonts that shouldn't have been in the library, so i cleared these out so that I'm back to the base fonts supplied, that's a total of 188 in the library and 37 in the system as far as the apple site shows. Please see attached image with red rings around the fonts issue areas.

Browsers (Firefox etc.) have font issues

Safari can't read all web pages. Mac support suggests Firefox, but when loaded the much of the text reads like this ':=@@*$++?aKHMO=^T6'. When Netscape was downloaded the same issue occurs. Since these issues Safari's speed has degraded significantly.
When I created another account and downloaded Firefox the font issues don't occur. I don't want to move everything to another account. Is there a solution?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:

IWeb '09 Random Font Issues

Saturday, February 7, 2010
Hello,
For my website, I am using Arial as my font. For some reason, only certain pages are having font issues once published. The published Arial fonts are changed to Times and also decreased in size.
I've been trying to figure out the cause, and it appears to occur when fonts are bold or underlined, but some times I have no issues and other times I can't avoid it.
I've tried deleting the pages and then starting with a blank page but the font issues keep re-occuring.
Anybody else experience this and is there a way to solve this?
Thank you in advance!
Jeff

The first thing you need to establish is whether this problem is with iWeb or publishing.
To do this you need to publish to a local folder by clicking your website name at the top of the left column in the iWeb window and selecting that option on the publishing options page.
This will give you a folder of files and an index.html file. Double click the index file to launch your site in the browser and see if the errors are present. If they are, the problem is in iWeb. If they aren't, then you have a publishing problem.

Font issues after OS 10.4.9 update

Hi, I just updated my macbook pro yesterday and am having font issues now. I noticed the date in iCal is messed up, also certain webpages and email are garbled up.
for example most of the text on this page http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is messed up in safari it looks all garbled. While in firefox and camino that same page looks fine.
On a side note, my startup after updating took forever. After it finally finished upon opening font book I see all of my fonts have been activated. They weren't before I did the update.
Any thoughts?

for example most of the text on this page
http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is
messed up in safari it looks all garbled.
No one else is going see anything wrong with this page unless they have the same problem you do. You need to provide screenshots.
But the normal cause of garbled text is the presence of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic. Dump them if you have them. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).

Font Issue in FCP7

I'm having a bizarre font issue I can't figure out. I have a project file someone sent me and they want me to make some change too. The only thing I've done is duplicate the sequence (exact same sequence settings) then take then drop shadow off the duplicated sequence. It looks fine, until I moved the playhead around and then the font "switched" to a totally different looking font. I'm stumped. Everything is the same. Could this be that the other person that worked on it used some sort of text plug-in? Wouldn't FCP tell me I'm missing it if that's the case? I hope this doesn't violate the terms of use of the board but I uploaded screen shots of the font in the original sequence and the new sequence and the font settings. They are here on my iweb page http://web.me.com/stephenfischer/blank/FCPFontIssue.html
any ideas?

And what was the solution? Posting it here might help others in a similar predicament.

Mac/PC Font Issues in Flash -- Need Help Please

Hi,
I have an fla file that I need to update but I am having the font issue that occurs between Mac & PCs.
I need to export a swf file from an fla file I have. If I send someone the fla file and the font file (Futura Book) could you please export it for me? Someone with a PC? My letters keep getting cut off and I've tried to play around with the spacing already.
Thank you!!!!
Allie

I don't know the answer to that one but you can use the Mouse Over and Click method I have described on this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
It works in IE.
Its just a question of making up two different buttons with text for each link, taking a screenshot and cropping them and adding the JPEGs to your upload folder.
You can make up the buttons on an iWeb page and then delete them when you have taken the screenshots. I usually do this sort of thing in Keynote so that I can save them in case I need to modify them.

Pages Fonts Broken After Upgrade (10.5.7)

Not sure what happened, but the spacing of the default font hints at a broken font.
And when Opening up documents sent to me (.doc, .docx etc.) font style and spacing is broken and not like before the upgrade.
See this .doc file opened in Pages: http://bit.ly/UI1Seb
This was sent to me by a third party.
Here's a document I created a few weeks ago in Pages prior to the upgrade: http://bit.ly/PdO7Qp
Here's what it looks like when I open in Pages after the upgrade: http://bit.ly/Qt9PTb
This is weird, but i have a feeling it's beyond Pages, but I don't have issue in email, and other apps I'm working with at this point. It's only revealing itself in Pages and Numbers in iWork?
Any thoughts on why or what's causing this?

Well in the image i share here, it's Myriad Pro; others are helvetica. I had some errors with some fonts and delted them in Font Book, but not helvetica nor Myriad.
Looking deeper said Myriad had duplicates. Couldn't find them myself. When I resolved automatically it simply turned the fonts off, nothing changed in the document which I'm sharing here.
Thing is, this just started happening since the upgrade. So while digging into fonts is certainly prudent and perhaps the point 7 upgrade might have addresed fonts, I'm not so sure or willing to accept that notion.
Seems deeper and boy this is annoying. I so used to love pages and now all my docuemtns I open are corrupted. Waste.
ps. the scribbles on the image are not the result of Pages nor the font issue, just obscuring the doucemtn for those inclined to decode.

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-fonts-mac-os-x.html
This should help. Good Luck.
