Problems with /Network/Library/Fonts/ automount

Okay, so I am having problems with setting up a /Network/Library/Fonts/ automount in order to share a master set of fonts among designers.
I created a folder on our XServe RAID volume called "Shared Libraries". Inside it, I created a folder called "Fonts" and installed some test fonts. So the path is /Shared Libraries/Fonts.
I went to Workgroup Manager, I enabled Sharing for "Shared Libraries". Privileges for Everyone are set to Read Only. it is set to Share this item Using AFP. Guest access is enabled. I enable Network Mounting of this share point via AFP, and I set it to Use for Shared Library.
So, I restart the client. I login, I go to Network, then Libraries, and my fonts folder shows up.
HOWEVER, when I go to FontBook, it shows Network with "OFF" next to it. None of my fonts are displayed. I right click on Network and select Enable Network, and nothing happens. None of my fonts show up.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Am I missing a step?
Thanks!
Tyler

Figured out the problem - PRivileges need to be set to READ AND WRITE. Made the change, and all is well.

Hi, I have problem with accesing Assets - Fonts (Synced Typekit fonts)!

Hi, I have problem with accesing Assets -> Fonts (Synced Typekit fonts)!
Can You help me with that problem?

Hi Tarik,
I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. There are a few things we can check right away to start debugging this:
- First, would you try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and see if this solves the issue? This can be found under: Gear > Preferences > General > Account.
- Could you try quitting/restarting the Creative Cloud app. Did this solve the issue?
- Could you try Turning File and Font Sync off under: Gear > Preferences > Fonts. Wait a second, then turn it back on. See if the font/s show up and if not, try syncing again. Did this solve it?
- Could you tell me if you're on the Windows/Mac OS X and the version?
If none of those worked, would you attach the CoreSync files and send those to our support email: [email protected]?
On the Mac, the folder can be found here:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
(You'll want to open the Finder, click Go, in the menu, hold down the "option" key and you'll see the Library folder.)
On Windows:
You can find the files under: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\coreSync-2013-08-xx.log
I know this is a lot. Thanks for your help here.
Cheers,

Network Library Fonts

Hi all,
I recently created a soft link to a Networked filespace and now have an alias in the Network directory
/Network/Library -> <nework file space>
I do this in a startup script that I created in /Library/StartupItems. In this script I make sure I get rid of the automount Library alias.
But my Mac will only see my "Network Library Fonts" some of the times.
It will always see my "Network Library Sounds".
So I'm curious why this may the case. In the font book, it shows "Network" as disabled, but it will not let me enabled it.
Is there a process that reads in the fonts at startup. Maybe my startup script is running into some race conditions, if there is such a process.
Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks..

OK, I was doing something really dumb here and I've fixed it (I have another folder called "fonts" outside the library folder, duh. Still, it seems that if fonts are in folders (instead of loose) the client systems can't see them. Is this expected behaviour?
When they're in local font folders this is fine though. As there are about 350 fonts that we have installed it's nice to have them all neatly grouped in folders (as there are only about 25 families, just lots of styles in them).

Problem with network on Iphone 4

Please tell me if someone has a problem with network on Iphone 4?

Of course other people have had problems. However, just knowing that other people have had some vague, undefined "network problems" most likely isn't going to be very useful. You'll get more and better help if you can give some details about your specific problem. Include who your carrier is, what country you're in. Then describe the exact nature of the problem. Then, maybe someone will be able to give good suggestions.
And, by the way, the free bumper program ended some time ago. It also was only a "solution" for one of many possible problems.
Best of luck.

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution?

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Problems with Aperture Library

My iMac crashed as I was importing some pictures. When I restarted it said there was a problem with the library and it needed to be repaired. After the repair I find that when I open Aperture I get an error message:There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/samswallow/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. I quit that and Aperture closes. I have reinstalled Aperture and it makes no difference. All my photos are still there in Aperture Library Masters and can be seen in Preview. I would value any help on this.

Did you do a repair or a rebuild? And did the action complete normally?
I would do the permissions repair then the library repair again and if you still get the errors do the rebuild. Note before doing the rebuild you should have a backup of your library. While it rarely happens rebuilds can make things worst.

Problems with itunes library and order of tracks

Hello,
I downloaded the new update, and I'm having a problem with my library when accessed from the browser. Before itunes 7, my tracks were in order that they appeared on the album, now they are in alphabetical order. Is there a way to make it go back the way it was before the update--in order by track number?
thanks.
chris

I was having the same problem and I knew there had to be an easy answer. I knew it for sure when I saw your topic unanswered. Just right click, or control click on the bar where it says name, album, genre, etc. and select "track number," this will give you the option to put them in their original order.
You can also access this under "view options" in the view pull down menu.

How to use /Network/Library/Fonts

I have several computers (some running OSX 10.5, some 10.4) connected on a home LAN. I'd like to centralize my font management so I don't have to manually install fonts on every machine.
Apple suggests I could put all my fonts in /Network/Library/Fonts and have them shared among the computers, but doesn't give any details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2435
I see that all my machines have a /Network directory, but it's empty. Anyone know how I can set this up? Thanks!!

Hi
The KB article says:
+"The Network folder is for fonts shared among all users of a local area network. This feature is normally used on network file servers, under the control of a network administrator."+
For this to work the way you want it to you would need OSX Server. There may be someone who could possibly outline how this can be done in a non-server environment (doubtful) over on the Server Forum:

Upgrading to 6.1.1 hasn't solved the problem with network connection on 4S. Still "No Servise"!

Upgrading to 6.1.1 hasn't solved the problem with network connection on 4S. Still "No Servise"!

Same here. Everything was fine running on ios 6.0, I don't know what possessed me to upgrade! I contacted O2 and thet went through the usual settings; reboot; airplane mode etc and it works for a while (like 5 mins) then service is losted with the network. I've even deleted the exchange email account and rebooted as read on the internet that this would fix the problem.... guest what....yep no joy! This is clearly a faulty software update and need fixing pronto! I've read that ios6.1.2 will be out soon to fix the firmware that was suppose to fix the initial network problem. When will this be realeased Apple?! It's hardly fit for purpose when I can't make calls or surf the internet.

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.
