Show Font Styles in Drop Dow

Is there a way to show the font styles in the drop down box? It wastes a LOT of time having to click on each font to see how it appears, then having to go to repeat the process again and again to locate a font I want to use.

CSS font style in main template. How to remove or change...

Hi, made a boo boo the other day while messing with my spry menu bar from the main template. I was trying to change the font size on the sub-menu as the drop down had gone off the page. I was fooling around with it and inadvertantly changed/added several styles that were already being used on other pages throughout the site. For instance "style 19" used to be 24 pixels high and not in the main template. (right under spry assets styles.) Now it's there and every page that used this style is now showing VERY LARGE font as I somehow changed it to 113pixels. (type-o that I didn't realize was being saved and changing a style.)
If that made sense to anyone, what do I do now? Do I go to the main template and change the size to what I know they should be then update all the pages, leaving "redundant tags". Do I delete the style altogeter from the main template?..not sure what that would do.
and last, once I finally get it right, how do I upload these changes. Putting the main teimplate, css style sheet? Spry menu? all?
Thanks SO MUCH
Miserable in D.W. land today!

Thanks, will be working on it today. That's what I needed to know. It sucks when you don't know what your'e
doing and you can't speak intelligently to someone who does. So thanks for the layman's answer this time.
What I can do is actually go back to the page in question, and I can see the "old" style 18 and what the size should be, then see the new one. So I will be able to tell what the old size was. These styles affected are mainly for colored font/names under our caddy girls. Each one might have her name in size 24 pixel font, in a different color depending on the page design. Long story short, is all the fonts that were 18 or 19 are now wrong.. and some other styles have been messed up as well
Maybe you can help me with this one too? On 3 or 4 font styles I must have been playing with the spry menu bar and adjusting the size not realizing I was in percentage mode and not pixels. By the time I figured it out I had changed 4 styles to 12 and 13 %. So the font is tiny in D.W. Would I just delete these altogether, or change these to what pixel size they should be? Even though it will create a redundant font tag. (which I'm not too concerned about unless I need to be.) Or should I change them to 100%?
Hope you can make sense of the above. I REALLY appreciate it. Was going to make the font on "really" very big but my days of messing with fonts are over!!!!
Thanks,

How to discover all available font styles for a given family?

I'm using InDesign CS3 and need to discover all of the available styles for any given font. I've found Application.Fonts.itemByName(), but this only returns a single font by the full name. Using ExtentScript in CS3 How can I ask for ALL font styles for any given font family (as displayed in the styles drop-down?)
Thanks!

hey,
I was just searching the web trying to find why this piece of code:
for (var i = 0; i <app.fonts.length;i++) {
app.fonts[i]..... some other code
take 4+ minutes to execute.
app.fonts.everyItem().getElements(); did the trick, sweet!!
However, I would like to ask you whether you know if there is some handout or some guide (possibly online page) for such advanced scripting...
or how did you find this solution?
thank you very much for this post, anyway

How to use different font styles in the same boolean text?

Hi all,
As reported here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16, it is possible to change font color, size or other font properties of a subtext in a string indicator. This can be applied to a caption too.
I'd like to apply this properties to a boolean text but it does not work. The boolean control has the Text.selectionStart and End property node but it does not appear to function.
Can you help me?
Thanks all

This is a bug in the development environment (I think it showed up around LV8).
There's a workaround, but it seems to work intermittently: Place some floating text on your front panel, then edit it's font styles. Select and copy the floating text. Select the boolean text (double click on it). Paste.

The custom style mapping option text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style - how do I correct this?

When I tell the custom style mapping option to format a Word style (from an rtf document) with the InDesign style, the text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style. I have a large document that needs to import the styles correctly and I've followed the tutorials exactly however the placed text is still hanging onto the word RTF styles. I want the rtf text to convert to my InDesign styles completely without overrides.

I actually need the cell styles. That's what sets my font, spacing, and GREP styles.
I did find the solution today. In the table style or table setup, I needed to set the "Stroke Drawing Order" to "Column Strokes in Front". Even though it was previously set to "Best Joins" and I had no strokes for rows or for the table borders, it just wasn't giving priority to my dotted columns.
Thanks for your response though!

Unable to search for font style Italic

In InDesign's Find/Change dialog, I click on the Find Format magnifying glass to open the Find Format Settings dialog. I click on the Basic Character Formats tab, and in the Font Style field I select 'Italic' from the dropdown menu. When I release the mouse button, the field displays 'Regular', not 'Italic'. If I key the word 'Italic' in the field, the same thing happens. The only way I've been able to get around this is to specify the Font Family as well, but I want to search for Italic Font Style regardless of the Font Family (there are several in the document). I haven't specified any other search details in either the Find/Change dialog or the Find Format Settings dialog. I'm currently using CS5.5 but I've experienced this problem dozens of times in both CS4 and CS5.5. I have a vague recollection of occasionally being able to do it, but if so it's been very rare.
Is there a reason why this is happening? Is there any way to search for Italic Font Style regardless of Font Family?

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks for the script, it worked fine, but on top of that it inadvertently revealed what is going on with this issue.
When I ran the script, the Find Format field in the Find/Change dialog showed '+Italic'. However, when I went into the Find Format Settings dialog, the Font Style field said 'Regular'. When I exited the Find Format Settings dialog, the Find Format field still said '+Italic'. The Find process worked fine, that is, it found text formatted as Italic.
I then went back to what I was originally doing, without using the script, and exactly the same thing happened. The two fields didn't match up, but the Find operation worked fine.
I'm currently working in CS5.5, but as I recently purchased CS6, I tried it in that program and exactly the same thing happened. And just to confirm my recollection, I tried it in CS4 and it happened there too.
I realise also why it has occasionally worked OK. Sometimes I would have entered Italic in the Font Style field and immediately clicked OK to exit the Find Format Settings dialog, and I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. But once I got used to the problem, I started to make a habit of tabbing out of the Font Style field 'just to make sure'. I would have seen it revert to Regular, and I would have just given up and (unnecessarily) worked my way through the font families one by one.
Anyway, now that I know what's going on, it's not a problem at all, but it's odd that it's persisted through at least three versions of InDesign. Thanks, Jongware, for your help.
Does this happen on Windows? Has anyone else on a Mac experienced this strange behaviour?

How do I change font style in Illustrator CS3?

I am working on an EPS in CS3 and have three simple lines of text for which I would like to change the font style. How do I do that? I've highlighted the text using Arrow and/or "T" tools, and then selected different font styles from Type>Font...but nothing happens. Any simple suggestions for what I would hope is a simple issue? Thanks.

Scott Falkner, your answer was correct. The letters are outlined, not solid black. A new tool appears that looks like a magic wand, and it does allow me to select the outlined letters. However, font changes have no effect, which makes sense if the program does not recognize these as text any longer.
To answer your subsequent question, in my version of the software, a toolbar appears on the left (likely default, as I have never configured a special setting) that shows a black arrow in the upper left defined in the rollover as "Selection Tool (V)," and the second line below to the right shows a "T" defined as "Type Tool (T)." Those are the two tools I was using to select what I thought was the copy.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
FYI Scott Falkner: although I tried to mark your answer "Correct," I got an "Unexpected error has occured " from the Adobe forum Web site, so your answer was marked "helpful" instead, which did not create an error.

Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using certain HTML tags or font styles

Only when HW acceleration is on. Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using "italic" or "oblique" font styles or when using or html tags.
Try this code to replicate the problem
<pre>
مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Italic مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Oblique مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
i tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
em tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
</pre>

After lots of research, I found the problem. The boxes (squares) show up whenever there is a font in the webpage that does not have Arabic within its Unicode range such as Times New Roman Italic or Oblique. Normally, Firefox will pick another font to display the characters but now, a newly introduced feature is interfering.
To fix the problem without turning off hardware acceleration.
Go to about:config
locate: gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading
which is True by default in FF4.0 Beta 10, and change it to False.
This is a bug that has to be fixed.

How to remove named font style but keep paragraph style

I receive documents in which some paragraphs begin with words that have named font styles applied, such as "Emphasis (Important)". This prevents my code from reading the paragraph style. When I use the "Clear Formatting" function (Home>Font>icon
that shows Aa and an eraser), it removes the font style and the paragraph style. Is there a way to remove only the font style, or a way to read the paragraph style while ignoring the font style?

Do you mean fixed-width? If so try
final Font mYFont = new Font("Monospaced", Font.BOLD, 7);

Here's a possible Swing solution, if I understand you correctly:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test
     public static void main(String args[])
          new Test();
     public Test()
          JFrame f = new JFrame("Menu Item Test");
          JMenuBar menu = new JMenuBar();
          JMenu menuFile = new JMenu("File");
          menu.add(menuFile);
          JMenuItem menuItemOpen = new JMenuItem("Open");
          menuItemOpen.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 16));
          JMenuItem menuItemClose = new JMenuItem("Close");
          menuItemClose.setFont(new Font("Monospaced", Font.ITALIC, 14));
          JMenuItem menuItemExit = new JMenuItem("Exit");
          menuItemExit.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.ITALIC, 12));
          menuFile.add(menuItemOpen);
          menuFile.add(menuItemClose);
          menuFile.add(menuItemExit);
          f.setJMenuBar(menu);
          f.pack();
          f.show();
}

Mobile Me Alias not showing up in "From" drop down list in Mac Mail

I have a couple of older .mac/Mobile Me email aliases that used to show up as either [email protected] or [email protected] in Mac Mail in the From drop down list, as recently as yesterday. Today, all I can see for any alias that has both the .mac and @me options due to their age, is the @mac.com version. I want to use the @me version of the alias, but this option no longer shows in the list. Newer Mobile Me aliases only have the @me.com address and they show up fine. One last point. If I use the Mobile Me web mail app, I can see both the @mac.com and the @me.com choices in the From drop down list, so it's working as it should.
Mail isn't working correctly, but since I've not updated the Mail app recently, I suspect Mobile Me isn't sending both versions of the aliases over when the list is refreshed.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

It started about a week ago. The "From" drop-dow is now missing in Mac Mail. It should appear beneath the subject line. I was working with MobileMe Chat support for about 3 hours. They cannot solve the problem and have now escalated it to the "Senior Advisor Team."

Font style not available on select machines (Captivate 5)

Cap community,
For most of our projects, I selected Lucida Sans as the default font for most caption types. Internally we would hand a single project file off between 2-3 different people and didn't have any issue until recently my boss does not have the Lucida Sans Regular font style while at least three others of us do.
Below and left is a screenshot from my machine that shows the Regular font style. Below and right is a screenshot from my boss showing the missing Regular font style.
The obvious thing to check is that she does in fact have the same font family and not just the Italic, Demibold Italic, and Demibold families. However, we both have the same font on our Windows > Fonts folder. Here is a screenshot of that font from the Windows font viewer. The font name is Lucida Sans Regular (TrueType) and the filename is LSANS.TTF (oddly enough, the font viewer describes it as OpenType even though the name in Windows Explorer reads TrueType... but this is the same for both our machines so it doesn't appear to be a different variable).
We even carefully uninstalled her Lucida Sans font family and copy/pasted my font file to her machine to ensure we had the same one, and still no joy. Has anyone run across this issue? Seems like it could be either a font issue or Captivate, but leaning toward Captivate since we feel relatively sure that we have the same font.
BTW, as a result of this difference when she opens the .cpx project file I'm working on it replaces all the Regular font styles with her Demibold or Demibold Italic, which throws everything off if she wants to publish to swf or Word doc.
Best,
Danny

Hi Danny
Two things:
First, please submit this as a bug to Adobe using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (link is in my sig)
I say this because Adobe needs to be aware of this issue. And it relates directly to my second thing below.
Secondly, I've seen others report missing fonts and such that were present in Captivate 4 but not in Captivate 5. To date, I don't recall seeing anyone from adobe answer any of these threads with a reason or a solution. So I'm hopeful that by all affected reporting this as a bug, someone will finally hear back from Adobe on the issue. If that happens, I'm also hopeful that one of these threads will be updated to advise why this is happening.
Cheers... Rick

Why are some font styles not available in the Typewriter function?

I would like to use Arial Narrow Bold, however it is not listed. I do have this font style in C:\Window\Fonts but it does not show up when I use they typewriter function. I am able to use this font style in Adobe when in the forms field. Is there a way to update the fonts available for the Typewriter?
Thanks for any advice!

I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.

"SHOW FONTS" button NOT dissapears with some title selections?

Re: Titles- Why does the "SHOW FONTS" button dissapears with some title selections? It is there in the upper left of the window where you make titles, but after making some titles it won't show again? The only info that might be helpful is that the button seems not to appear on the titles that have fonts other than the default offerings. But I have no idea how they were assigned those odd fonts. I believed I was only selecting from those default fonts. Thanks!

There are certain titles that do not allow you to edit the Fonts. You can’t change the style of some animated titles, such as Pixie Dust and Lens Flare, or themed titles, which are represented by gold title bars.
Interestingly, if you have Final Cut Pro X, you can edit these titles, including the fonts, but not in iMovie.

Font style (outlook)

I have my work emails configured. I don't see an option to change font style or reduce the font size. Please suggest

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
There is no setting for the font style, and the only font size setting is global, available in Settings > Display.
Good luck!
