Problems with Suitcase 11
I recently installed Suitcase 11 on a newly rebuilt Dell Workstation. Font management has gone smoothly so far. But a couple of my Arial fonts aren't working well in Illustrator and Photoshop. They all work well in MS Office apps. Most of the Arial faces work fine, it's just Arial Narrow and Arial Narrow Bold that don't work.
I had Font Doctor look at the individual font files and it did not report any problems.
Anyone else have similar issues?
I have exactly the same problem, so also would be interested in a solution,
I wouldn't normally use Arial, but clients keep insisting on using it, to get round it I use the Arial Special versions (if installed on your PC).

But I removed all the unnecessary fonts from my sytem allready. And I followed all the steps in the Suitcase extensis manual too.
What can i do to open all the fonts I need.

iMac G4 17" flatscreen Mac OS X (10.4.7)if you are using classic for quark 4 still...
http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX
Linotype is good and free, but will not support classic.
"Classic mode is not and will never be supported by Linotype
FontExplorer™ X." it will not manage fonts for classic.
(http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX/FAQ?issue=57&category=8)
an upgrade for $50 to extensis suitcase fusion, does not support classic font management either.
some info to try to make suitcase work.

Problem with Extensis plug-in with Adobe CS6
I have a Mac running version 10.8.5 OS X and I also have Adobe CS6. I recently update Suitcase Fusion to their newest version (Suitcase Fusion 5) and since then I've been having a lot of problems with CS6. Every time I start the program it gives me the message: "The Extensis plug-in could not locate a running copy of the FMCore application. Auto - activation plug-in functionality will be disabled". I'm not sure how to fix this, so I would appreciate any help!
What does Extensis say?
From where I sit, the error message is telling you that you only updated the plug-in but not the application itself. But only Extensis can clarify that. -
Creative Suite CS4: Problems with font managing software
It seems that there are some issues of the applications of the creative suite CS4 with the font managing software MainType (http://www.high-logic.com/maintype.html).
With standard settings, CS4 no longer recognizes PostScript Type 1 Fonts loaded by MainType (which did not occur with CS3 and older versions). The only solution so far is this workaround: Within MainType enable under "Tools -> Options" the option "Copy Type 1 Postscript fonts to Windows fonts folder" and CS4 will load these fonts again.
This seems to be a bug of CS4. Are there problems with other font managing programs?
regards
fabianAfter reading tons of forums about this issue, it does seem to be an issue with CS4 not recognizing fonts the way that CS3 did. Wish they had mentioned that little feature when they released it. They even go as far as to say they do not support certain programs for type handling in Windows. Copying them to the system folder is a workaround, but it is not available easily in programs like Extensis' Suitcase, which is long overdue an upgrade. LinoType beta tested a new application for Windows, but when I sent an email to them asking about the release date for the their final version, their ignorant customer support sent me a link to their website pointing out that it is not yet available, and not answering my initial question of when.
I don't entirely blame Adobe, it seems as though a lot of companies have dropped the ball on this issue, and since many people have Type 1 fonts they've been using for years, they will have to repurchase (if available) those fonts in the newer OTF format which everyone seems to support. OTF is a much nicer format and more portable cross-platform, but it's simply inconvenient to not be able to use all of your fonts at your own discretion easily. I'm not sure what the big deal was with not including support for Type 1 fonts, unless that's most of the reason that the Adobe apps were crashing before... corrupt versions of the fonts they talked us into purchasing, etc... Adobe used to make ATM for managing postscript fonts, but it doesn't work on Vista to my knowledge. It would be nice if they would recommend a font manager other than the Windows system folder.
I figure Adobe was hoping that it would not be a major issue since their wonderful PDF format has taken hold for printing. Print shops do not have to install fonts before printing a piece anymore. Most people will read in these forums about the loss of support, throw up their hands and shake their heads, but do nothing about it. After all they too probably purchased the CS4 suite without knowing about this issue and have already spent their money. It doesn't look as though it's an issue on the Mac, but by the time you throw $3000 at an entry level Mac workstation and $1600 at the basic adobe apps, that's not a solution either. Especially when you have to go out and buy all new fonts anyhow, since the macs will not support the Windows postscript typeface formats either.
After doing a little price shopping for typefaces, I'm trying to try to keep using the few OTF and TTF fonts I've purchased since they're still working, since the prices of fonts these days are astronomical. I've installed a few fonts in the system folder, but too many and Acrobat distiller crashes. It's not cost effective to spend all of your income from design on $1600 font family sets, just to make changes to a document where you might have used a postscript face. Especially in this economy... It's another case of the investor getting rewarded for the release of an application and the customer is left holding the bag. Hopefully it's a bug, but not likely. It's probably some mandated decision by the higher ups in Adobe.
I'm sure larger companies with hundreds of employees probably have site licenses for typefaces in the OTF format, so for them it's not a problem, and since most people using PCs to do design opted for that platform because of the cost issue, Adobe probably doesn't care about them either. Maybe a solution will arise in the future, but it doesn't look likely. You will probably have to get the new formats of typefaces one by one. -
Considering purchasing CS4. Am using OSX 10.4.1 with Suitcase Fusion 12.1.6.
Any font issues with CS4 (especially InDesign & Illustrator).The only issue I am aware of is how thoroughly crappy Suitcase has been for years. The new version of Fusion might be non-crappy, but I'd bet against that. My biggest issue with SF lately is constant conflict errors when I activate Helvetica Neue T1, since the dfont version is installed in the OS. I hope to convince the keepers of the purse to upgrade out fonts to OTF, which will probably solve the problem.
If you can, I suggest using Linotype Font Explorer. Its' free, much easier to use than Suitcase, has excellent preview features, and the auto-activation is tops. -
CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 Vista Ult64
CS3 Postscript fonts not visible when Installed with Suitcase 11.0 on Vista Ultimate 64bit.
Truetype and Opentype work fine. I have searched through all the forums here multiple times, but not found a solution. The only workaround I found was to manually put the font files in c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Fonts.
When I put any font files in that folder, they show up in CS3 for use, but not in windows apps. I thought I would make a permanent work around by placing all of my uninstalled font files in that folder, then use suitcase to install them from there. That didn't work because EVERY font in that folder is available to CS3 and turned on. Do they get installed when you put them in there?? It didn't seem like they were installed, and windows apps didn't see them.
These are workarounds anyway. My main goal is to have suitcase work so I can organize my fonts efficiently. Extensis blames the font and CS3. I have read that there are adobe issues with other font management software as well as suitcase. Any help would be appreciated.Got mine FIXED here is what i did:
Windows 7 64bit SP1, CS 5
Postscript fonts (comprising of *.pfb + *.pfm files) did not show up in any CS5 app, but showed OK in Word, Excel, Notepad etc.
Tried activating through Suitcase Fusion 2 and also through FontExpert 2009 - but neither of them made the fonts visible in CS5 apps
1) open Start Menu/Control Panel/Fonts
2) on the sidebar there is "Font settings" item
3) set the settings as i did
[ ] Hide fonts based on language settings
[ x ] Allow fonts to be installed using a shortcut (advanced)
FIXED mine,
now i can use Suitcase Fusion 2 to install any PFB/PFM fonts without any problems...
PLEASE IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU TOO, LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE SO OTHERS KNOW IF THIS FIX IS 100% WORKING -
Major Inhibitive Problem with G5
Hi all-- hopefully you can help me out.
Last night, I restarted my G5 OS 10.3.9, due to a problem with details below, and I haven't been able to fully start the computer back up since! Everything loads fairly fine, until the final step, "Opening Login Window" appears. Then the computer essentially sticks at this point, perpetually trying to complete this last step.
I can't do anything, I can't access anything! I also am unable to open the CD drive. Are there any buttons I can hold down to startup the computer differently? My computer is essentially useless right now, which is not good, considering I have a lot of important information on it, and I need to use it a lot.
Original Problem that caused me to Reboot:
while surfing the net, Safari suddenly quits. I try to reopen it, but it doesnt open, the small black arrow under it continuously blinks and the only option is to Force Quit. This won't stop, every time I try reopening the program. Internet Explorer also isn't picking up the net. So I restart.
Any help with this major problem? Thanks!Would the following work, if I accessed it from the system disk while holding down option when I startup?
Hi,
Try running disk utility to repair permissions. Disk Utility is found in :
Finder> Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility (double click to launch)
A new window opens. Under the repair tab, on the left you will see a list of attached hard drives (One will have the model of your hard drive, the other will probably say Macintosh HD). Select the boot drive (model number icon), if there's only one drive on your machine select that. Once selected, Verify Disc and Repair Disc are highlighted near the bottom right hand corner (grey side). Select Verify Disc. This will test the file structure amongst other things on your hard drive.
Faults are reported in RED text no faults are shown in GREEN text
If no faults are found select Macintosh HD from the left hand list, again under the repair tab. This time there are 4 button options on the grey side of the window:
Verify permissions Verify Disc
Repair Permissions Repair Disc
Select verify permissions. A series of tests are done any errors again will show up in RED text. If there are any errors, select repair permissions and let the utility run. Errors are fixed and you should get a GREEN text result which means all is well. If there are serious errors which can't be fixed running Disk Utility from the desktop, it will ask you to run Disk Utility from the recovery disc (see link below)
Shut down the DIsk Utility and try restarting your machine. If it works. . .Yippee! If it doesn't . . .
Try uninstalling Suitcase 1x and shutting down. If it shuts down Suitcase 1x may be causing an issue. Re-installing suitcase 1x may resolve the issue or check the manufacturers web site for updates to resolve known issues.
If that doesn't work, you may have to perform an Archive and Install of the OS from the recovery disc that accompanied your Mac.
See here for instruction of Archive and Install:

Small problem with applescript
Hello Again,
Every day I use a morning script to launch my programs I have to use... and some more things...
Aldo I have a problem with Golive.
When I try to type activate in the editor it makes a bigg A.
Also with cut and past.
and when i run the applescript-program it does all I need ( The golive part is at the end... but when I place it in the middle it's just stops.
I get this fault message : Can't continue <event Coreactv>
and i guess it has something to do with the A-ctivate
Is this a bugg? Or can someone explain this?
I would like to do more after launching Golive..
tell application "Extensis Suitcase X1"
activate
end tell
tell application "Mail"
activate
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
activate
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
activate
end tell
tell application "Adobe GoLive CS"
Activate
end tellSome apps don't respond well to tell blocks. I don't have that app to test, but you could try using something like launch "TextEdit" or tell app "Finder" to open posix file "/Applications/TextEdit.app" to improve your results. Sometimes an ignoring application responses block can help too.

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
LeftyThis was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
boolean active = true;
public void run(){
ss.setSoTimeout(90);
while (active){
try{
serverSocket = ss.accept();
catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
// do nothing
// interrupt thread
public void deactivate(){
active = false;
// you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
// accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
try{
sleep(91);
}catch (InterruptedException ie){
interrupt();

Problem with Threads and a static variable
I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
protected static void Init(){
objMainProcess = new Thread() {
public void run() {
while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
GetState();
objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
objMainProcess.start();
public static void initStatusTimer(){
if(objTimer == null)
objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
SetState();
private static void SetState(){
if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
bChanged = true;
try{
objMainProcess.notify();
}catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
private static boolean GetState() {
if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
if( bChanged) {
SendMessage();
bChanged = false;
return true;
try {
objMainProcess.wait();
}catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
return false;
}Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,

Problem with threads running javaw
Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.

Problem with threads and camera.
Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
Thread.yield();
notifyAll();
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
try {
this.wait();
} catch(Exception e) {
exceptionHandler(e);
photo = camera.snapshot();
display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
}).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
Object o = new Object();
display.setCurrent(perform);
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
while(!performing.isShown()){
Thread.yield();
synchronized(o) {
o.notify();
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
try {
synchronized(o) {
o.wait(1);
} catch(Exception e) {
exceptionHandler(e);
photo = camera.snapshot();
display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
}).start(); -
We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).

Also when it's having this problem, the "VM Thread" is always using a lot of processor time. We did a couple of pstacks today while it was having this problem, and this thread was stuck in the ONMethodSweeper.sweep for over 15 minutes when we finally killed the server.
From the thread dump:

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there. Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this.
We're using the following memory options:
-ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
-verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
Thanks!

Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor
Dear Friends:
I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
I use something like this:
LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
myTask.start();
myTask.join();
Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
What's wrong?Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating
