SegoeUI (MS Vista System Font) on MAC OS 10.4

Hey ladies and gentlemen. I have a font issue on OSX10.4.8. I copied from MS Vista RC1 the open type font 'segoeui' (as segoeui.ttf) to my OSX font book. The font isn't showing propper, witch means that I only get kind of arabic letters or some cursive font sets into the font book. I double checked that phenomena with some coellege with the same result. Thank you in advance for any advice. If anyone needs to have the font set file to check you can get it in MS Vista (font folder) or in WS Office 2007 (I don't have).

Hello Christoph,
please have a look at chapters "6. User Configuration" and "7. Administrator Configuration" of the documentation which comes with the SAP GUI for Java installation.
Easiest is to launch SAP GUI and to choose "SAPGUI Help" from the "Help" menu to get there.
In case you do not have a Mac available, just do the same with SAP GUI for Java on Windows.
When you became familiar to configure the logon with latter, it should be easy to instruct a Mac user.
Best regards

  • Mac system font question!

    I'm working on a Mac. American Typewriter comes with the computer as a system font. I've created a logo with this font. The client would like me to include the font in the "packaging" of the logo. Is this okay? It will be used in print, online and TV.

    That is not a question that we can not readily or authoritatively respond to here since the font in question was not licensed from Adobe.
    The American Typewriter fonts bundled with MacOS are indeed visible to and usable within Adobe applications. In fact, I did try creating an InDesign document using all six styles of that font on my Mac system. I also successfully exported PDF/X-4 from InDesign and the fonts embedded without a problem.
    However, all that means is that Apple (or the foundry from which Apple licenses the font) have not put any physical security in place to prevent font embedding within PDF (or EPS or PostScript). That having been said, you would need to obtain the actual license for the font from Apple to determine if they or their vendor has any restrictions against such commercial use.
    If you had licensed the font from Adobe, the answer would have been that you could embed the fonts and use them as you described. You could not embed them in an HTML stream or with an application program for dynamic use (such as with an iOS or Android application). But as part of a static logo, you would be good to go.
    You need to see if Apple has its font licenses on its website to ascertain what their restrictions, if any, are. If the license is not on their website, you may need to contact Apple's legal department.

  • ID CS2 Mac system fonts and CMap files missing

    I have ID CS2 for Mac. I recently had some trouble uninstalling a trial version of After Effects CS3, so I used a script provided by Adobe that is for removing troublesome files and apps. Now, when I try to start InDesign CS2, I get an error message almost immediately that says "Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign." Does anyone know what fonts and CMap files are needed by ID, and where they should go (in which directories/folders)? I don't want to have to reinstall the entire program. All the other CS2 apps work fine and I don't want to upset the apple cart (pardon the pun). I haven't trashed any of the files that the script uninstalled...they are in a folder on my desktop, so I can just put back what ID needs, as long as I know where they go.
    Thank you!

    By running the script it removed all Adobe-installed stuff. This included removing the "Reqd" folder in this path: Library > Application Support > Adobe > Fonts. InDesign CS2 expects that folder to be there. You could copy the folder from another computer, or do a reinstall on InDesign

  • How legal use Mac System Fonts on Windows? (eula truly invalid in Europe)?

    How can i legal use Mac OS 7 or X System Fonts on Windows?
    I plan to buy an old broken LC / Quadra or used Mac OS X CD and copy the Mac OS System Fonts to the Windows Machine.
    I dont't understand the Mac OS X eula and can't find the Mac OS 7 eula on the web.
    I heared the Apple Mac OS eula is invalid and irrelevant in europe.
    (incompatible with european antitrust and consumer protection law)
    PS: I know already, how i can convert dfont to truetype. It's no technical problem.

    Just save.  There is no difference in files between platforms.
    There are some Windows-centric font formats that aren't portable, by any OpenType or TrueType font will be portable between platforms.

  • Weird Font behaviors /  Mac Pro (Early 2009) NEC LCD2690WUXI

    Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz 8 GB Ram. GeForce GT 120 NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXI Monitor.
    System fonts unresolved (not crisp) ghost-like, "rainbow colors". Targeted to the new Mac Pro from my G5. Some fonts tested corrupt. Then tried a clean install of the OS. Fonts tested fine, problem persists. Hardware tests passed. Started up from "test account" same problem. Checked connections, popped the hood, checked the card (well seated) Went to the NVIDIA site to look for drivers for the GT 120 (none there for Mac OS, what's with that?) System fonts with this monitor on the G5 were as crisp and clean as you would expect.
    Really at my wits end. Is the card bad? Some sort of incompatibility with the monitor? Connection issue. I did hook the Mac Pro up to my old LaCie CRT and it looked OK. Wow. Any thoughts? Anyone?
    Thanks In Advance,
    Daniel

    Dear Phatpurrly,
    I don't know where you can find a cheep Vista copy; I personally don't use this far too expensive beta-software (I bought a Mac to be able to avoid Microsoft in the first place).
    But for you as a MacPro owner it's a possibility to discover if this is a hardware or software problem. There are also some threads in this forum pointing at issues with specific monitors not recognized to be a computer monitor but only seen as a television screen!
    Apart from that: Yes, you should have gone for the ATI Radeon card in the first place, but that's my personal opinion after years of experience in the graphic industry. NVidia might be good for gamers, but certainly not for serious work on that, may I say, excellent and expensive screen you own.
    Best regards,
    Robbert (notice: 2 b's)

  • Windows Vista Ultimate - Boot Camp - Mac Mini

    Hello to everybody
    I bought a week ago a Mac Mini 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running the Mac OS X 10.6.2 and I have troubles for install Windows Vista Ultimate

    No guarantees, but you could startup to your Vista DVD and try repairing startup. Just choose the options that move you closer and closer to Windows fix options, not toward installation.

  • Is there a way to prevent Mail from loading non system fonts?

    For over a year, and a system OS upgrade, Mail has been taking 7 - 10 minutes to load all the thousands of fonts I have on my computer for graphic design. This started with Snow Leopard on my 2009 Mac Pro (10 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD). At first I didn't know why the computer was taking such a long time to finish boot up. So I reformatted the drive--zeroing it out. Then I installed Mavericks and reinstalled everything else. Finally I tried logging the system activity during startup and noticed that something to do with fonts took up the biggest chunk of this time. Because Mavericks loads any programs you leave running at shut down, I saw that if Mail had the fonts window open, the list of fonts would slowly grow, filling up with the many font families I use for my work. I called tech support for my font management utility but they say the fonts are not in the system and and shouldn't affect the system during startup. In the end I gave up and just go drink a few coffees after hitting the start button. It's like going back to the early days 25 years ago.
    Can I stop Mail from loading any non-system fonts? I never use anything but the default font.

    Hey SchenkerBob,
    It is possible to disable non-system fonts temporarily for all applications using the Font Book application. This article explains how to do so -
    Mac Basics: Font Book - Apple Support
    In particular -
    Disable and enable specific fonts
    In situations where you'd like to prevent a font from being available in applications, but you don't want to completely remove the font from your Mac, you can use Font Book to disable the font.
    In Font Book, click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Click the name of the font in the Font column.
    Choose Disable "Font Name" Family from the Edit menu.
    Since it might be problematic to have to disable each font individually, you can create a collection of fonts and disable the collection. See the article for how to create a font collection -
    Organize fonts as collections
    When working with fonts, you may discover that you use certain fonts frequently, but rarely use others. To make it easier to find the font you are looking for, you can organize your fonts into collections.
    From the Font Book File menu, choose New Collection.
    Type in a name for the new collection.
    Click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Drag the fonts that you want from the Font column onto the name of your new collection in the Collection column.
    You can then disable collections of fonts -
    You can also disable or enable all fonts in a collection: Click the name of the collection in the Collection column, then choose Disable "Collection Name" or EnableCollection Name" " from the Edit menu. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • I want to change fonts but get message "no available system font"

    I am trying to edit a PDF flyer created by another party.  Using Acrobat Pro on Mac OSX.  I select "edit document text" and then try to delete or change the text and get the message. "all or part of the selection has no available system font You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font"
    I don't see any font format bar or other method of changing the font.
    Is there a way to work this?

    Over at the AUC's "Acrobat Answers" Karl Kremer replied to a similar question.
    In part he wrote:
    "I assume you want to edit content in a PDF file, and you cannot do that because you don't have the font installed that is used in that file. That is the way Acrobat works: You need to have the font that is used in your document installed on your local computer in order to make changes to text that uses that font. There is no way around that. You will have to find out what font is used for the text you need to edit, and then acquire that font (and that usually means to purchase that font, unless you are a subscriber to e.g. CC and that font is available via TypeKit).
    Another option is to select all the text and change that text to a different but similar font. You again can only use a font that is available on your computer as the target font. But once you've done that, you should be able to edit your document.
    You change the font by selecting Tools>Content Editing>Edit Text & Images, then you select the text you want to change, and your target font." 
    Be well...

  • What is the best 'cleaning system' for the Mac?

    What do you recommend as the best 'cleaning system' for the Mac!

    How to maintain a Mac
    Make two or more backups of all your files
    One backup is not enough to be safe. A copy of a backup doesn't count as another backup; all backups must be made directly from the original data.
    Keep at least one backup off site at all times in case of disaster. Backing up to a cloud-data service is one way to accomplish this, but don't rely exclusively on such backups.
    In fact, don’t rely exclusively on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
    If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    Keep your software up to date
    In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
    Don't install crapware
    ...such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. You didn't buy a computer so you could clean caches.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts
    Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions.
    Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    Avoid malware
    "Malware" is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common and dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party "anti-virus" products for protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    Don't fill up your disk or SSD
    A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    Relax, don’t do it
    Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime for maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
    A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention just to keep going, use a PC, or collect antique cars.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • HELP! Some A**hole made me delete my system fonts...

    ...now my computer wont start! I just get a blue screen.
    I was in a webex meeting with some software tech guy trying to get a program to work and he thought the problem was my system fonts. He deleted them and told me if I restart they would restore automatically... they didnt. obviously.
    So I can connect to my computer from another computer over our office network and see the system folder but I cant add the fonts back in remotely because I dont have the priviledge from this other computer. Is there a way to override that? Can I type something into terminal that will disable all passwords or something. (I cannot go onto my computer and allow sharing or anything because I cannot start my mac. Unless thats something I can do remotely)
    Can anyone help???

    Easiest thing may be a FireWire Target Mode connection. Put any working Mac with the same version OS next to yours. It can be anything 10.5.x, doesn't have to be exactly 10.5.7. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. With the working Mac on and ready, turn on the non working Mac and immediately hold down the T key. A big FireWire symbol will appear on that Mac's monitor and its hard drive will show up on the working Mac like any other removable drive.
    Copy the system fonts from the working Mac to the FireWire mounted hard drive in the same location; /System/Library/Fonts/. Eject the non working Mac's drive as you would any other disk from the desktop. Disconnect the cable.
    Power down the non working Mac by holding in the power button. Restart it and it should boot. Do a Repair Permissions with Disk Utility as the fonts you copied over will all have incorrect permissions.

  • FontExplorer X Pro corrupting system fonts (mainly Helvetica)

    Yosemite, Clean Install
    I recently installed a trial of FontExplorer X Pro because I thought it was about time I moved up to a professional font management tool.  Shortly after installing it, and importing my fonts, things started to go haywire.  As you can see below, Messages.app, websites (GoDaddy.com pictured) and Mail.app display a strange A-in-a-box character in place of what should be actual, legible copy.  I have been trying to work with FontExplorer's tech support but they have been unhelpful so far, not to mention it takes them days to respond.  I believe I've (so far) narrowed this down to HELVETICA and I'm sure it has something to do with Mac OS X now using Helvetica Neue throughout the System in place of what used to be Lucinda I believe
    I'm just at a loss for what to do.  I can't seem to get my system fonts back in order.  I've tried uninstalling the software, and starting over, and nothing has helped.  I can clear the Font Cache, restart, and then everything is fine...but as soon as I open a document with Helvetica Neue in it, everything else goes haywire again.  Deactivating Helvetica Neue is not an option.  I am a graphic designer, I need Helvetica for nearly everything.
    I would appreciate any suggestions at all, thank you.
    Messages.app: The timestamp is replace with these characters.
    Safari/Godaddy.com: All the text in the login area are the same character.
    Again, in Mail.app, this contact's signature is completely unreadable.

    Anyone? No one from Linotype has been able to answer my questions either.
    Like I said, the problem started after I upgraded from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. The same issue occurs on 2 different computers both running 10.6.8, even though one of them is a fresh install.
    I've tried resetting the FontBook by booting into Safe Mode, but even that doesn't fix it. However I'm now able to add metadata and create sets, but only for system fonts (i.e. anything with a lock icon).

  • New Font in System Font Panel- iMovie

    I use I-movie to create short videos for clients.  One Client is requesting a special font that is not listed in the systems font panel.  This is the second of this request from clients.  So, is there a way to import different fonts into that panel area?  How? 

    Hi
    Yes You can.
    I just did
    I started a new project to test
    I put a photo into this
    Then I selected text tool and selected a type of text e.g. lower third (second choice)
    Then drag and drop this onto the Photo in my new Project - NOW
    Up in the Viewer I get a title (up left) reading Show Text font's - and here from I can select all font's installed on my Mac.
    SORRY _ NEW INFO
    The Font Panel - NO I was not able to change this - only able to use the font I liked in the Movie. Most probably I didn't fully grasp the Question.

  • System fonts deleted....whoops

    I installed Suitcase to manage my fonts, and when I tried to activate the fonts, a window popped up with a message that said there was a conflict with fonts in my system fonts folder, suggesting I delete them and restart. Upon doing so and restarting, my computer no longer boots up past the initial blue screen. my mouse/curser is still active, but it's locked up. I'm positive it has to do with my deleting the fonts, the question is, what can i do to fix?

    Take a look here - towards the bottom
    http://www.tcinternet.net/users/jklstudios/temp/osx4.html
    If you can't get your own system up, you could start up as a target disk from another mac - using a firewire cable - your mac will show up as a hard drive - then run the font install from that mac as described in that document.
    If you can't do this then I'm afraid you need to do an archive and install from the DVD - which should preserve everything but reinstall the OS.
    Best of luck.

  • System fonts failing to load/enable correctly

    On start up my mac doesn't fully enable all the system fonts. Arial 9/10 times fails to load regular and bold weights and Verdana is problematic too. My current work around is to manually enable them in Font Book which is beginning to annoy me – anyone know a more permanent solution?
    This problem can cause software to display type incorrectly, especially noticed on websites.
    I have recently performed a clean install on my mac mini with os 10.8.2.
    I do run Suitcase Fusion 4, however i don't think this is the cause of my problem as it is running well. In my view the problem lies with Font Book as this is the only way I can temporarily resolve my issue.
    Any help is most welcome.

    I've manually enabled the problematic fonts in Fontbook and in Fusion 4 I have turned on the same fonts permanently in the System Fonts folder. Hopefully this will ensure that if i turn the mac off for what ever reason, on relaunch the problematic system fonts will auto load. However i'm still interested to hear from any expert out there who can offer me a better solution.
