[SOLVED] How to completely 'reset' default font setup?

In trying to improve the look of the fonts on my system, I've gotten myself into a situation where some programs either no longer start (Keepass) and others have blank windows (Thunderbird).
I've installed infinality--and then followed this guide http://www.binarytides.com/gorgeous-loo … ntu-linux/
So, basically, I've just made everything worse and would like to 'start over'.
Is there a way to put everything back the way it was (font-wise)--as with a new install (or close to it)?
Thanks in advance!

Why have you followed a guide for Ubuntu?

You should remove ~/.fonts.conf

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 ?

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 , for this >>

Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:

Then right click bring up this menu while inside active field and click on item with arrrow:
http://screencast.com/t/ZTRjMWRkMzk
Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
A. Your advice is incorrect
B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview Annotation Note ?

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?
Thanks for any help guys. Noteworthy is horrible, in my view. But this does not matter. I simply do not want to use it, and woudl be fine with having helvetica back as the annotation typeface.
Neither is Preview responding to changes I attempt in the type menu, nor did I find an entry when using “defaults read com.apple.Preview” in the Terminal.
Any idea? Cheers.

Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:
I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).

Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?

You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

How to set a default page setup in P6?

Hi,
Anyone know how to set a default page setup in P6?
Thanks,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
For printing, the settings are stored within the layout. If you have one layout containing the settings you use, you can then use this layout as your template and do a 'Save As' every time you make your changes.
Hope that helps

How to change the default font size in X11?

I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).
The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
Thank you very much in advance.

You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.

How to completely reset iMessage on MacBook Pro

I have tried literally every single thing, including scheduling an appointment with AppleCare... to which I got disconnected and never received a callback. My iMessages on my Mac is not sending messages to any iphone. I would just like to simply RESET the whole set up of iMessage, as if I just received this Mac if possible.
How do I completely reset iMessage on a MacBook Pro?
Thank you.

Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Caches/com.apple.Messages
          Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
          Containers/com.apple.iChat
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
          com.apple.iChat
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
          com.apple.imessage
          com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

How do you set default fonts and default text box sizes on bound form fields?

I am using an existing PDF as a template to build my form in designer.
I am dragging my objects from the schema window to the form and when I drop it on the form it is way too big - so for every field I do this with I am left to resize and reset the font to every bound object i drop on the page!
Is there a way to set the default font and the default dimensions of the bound text boxes I am droping on the PDF form page?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

iWork '09 DVD set (containing Pages '09 v4.0, Numbers '09 v2.0, and Keynote '09 v5.0) is available from Amazon for USD $20. Apple no longer provides retail store, or OS X App Store downloads. You will need to apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater afterwards to bring these applications to their n.3 (e.g. Pages '09 v4.3) last versions. You will have an /Applications/iWork '09 folder afterwards.
I would also launch /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities, select your boot drive, and verify/repair permissions — just to be on the safe side for the newly added iWork '09 applicaitons.

How to set a default font

Hiya!
I'm making a flyer in inDesign and i want to set a default font to run throughout the document whenever i create a text box. I also want the font size to be set at 10pt all the time. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also - i have a template for the flyer which includes a border and table.... i want to be able to open this as a template for each flyer, which i can then fill in with information. Is this possible?
Any pointers would be super appreciated.
thanks

Just deselect any item in the document you are working on and set your font and other variables in the font window/bar. Thats all. If you wish to set a standard font for all new document, than close all documents and set the things. This works for almost everything.

How to set Blank default font

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/933819]]</blockquote>
I need firefox to read certain barcodes and it was only showing numbers. I'm not sure how but the default fonts was changed to a blank but after that the barcodes started reading! How do I set it like that for future cases?

Mark or select is not the point. anyone goes.
The point is that a font SELECTED in a document does not set it default.
You have MARK, SECLECT OR WHATEVER the font in Type > Font to make it default.
That was the point.
/Larry
I think you have a different interpretation of what it means to "select" or "mark" a font. You cannot do either of those things in the text itself by dragging the text tool -- that selects the text that has been entered. The "selected" font in use will be shown in either the Character or Control panel (as well as in the dropdown for fonts), and it is in one of these palces that you select a font to use as the default. It has nothing to do with selecting text, other than if you want to change the font applied to a particular bit of text you have selected.
Kind of an all-purpose, context-sensitive term.

How can I restore default fonts?

Today I installed a Greasemonkey script called Gmail Super Clean in Firefox and I installed these; http://www.osx-e.com/downloads/misc/macfonts.html new fonts as well. After doing this the fonts on my system have been very screwy i.e. there are mixes of Arial and Times New Roman on several apps and I am seeing what I think is Hebrew text on all of my iTunes library as well as on any text I type into the Google.com. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get back my default fonts for the whole system or at least stop seeing foreign languages. Thanks for any info or help.

Re-install the font packages. You can see which ones you have installed with
pacman -Q font
You could probably just do this:
pacman -S $(pacman -Qqes font)
It may re-install a few packages unnecessarily, but it should include all the currently installed font packages.

How do I reset the font drop-down menu?

In the font drop-down menu, all used fonts are listed on top of the rest. Now I got a long pile of used fonts, but only two fonts among them are most frequently used, and I want to keep only these two on top of the drop-down menu. How do I reset the list (clear the history)? Thanks.

Mine shows only the last 6 used fonts. Note that you can option click the fonts drop down menu to show them only by name, without their preview, thus saving you some space.

How to completely reset Synchronisation with Lotus...

Hmmm, not sure, maybe I should file this under Nseries Devices and S60 Smartphones, but on the other hand it's an E61i...
I have the problem, that my E61i is not synchronizing the contacts. I tried by means of 'Advanced settigns' to overwrite everything in the phone: did not help.
I uninstalled Nokia PC Suite (6.85.14.1_ger_web) and reinstalled: did not help.
Does anyone know, where the Synchronisation information is stored? Then I could delete this information. I used mNotes and a Plam before my E61i - there was some information stored in a Notes .NSF file.
History
I used PC Suite (6.84.10.3_ger_web) and was able to synchronize (more than once, but then it stoped completely). To be exact: I couold not synchronize between Notes and the phone, images, messages, ... worked fine.
Yesterday I did a firmwareupdate of the phone (2.0633.65.01 now) --> cleans out all information on phone. Then I installed the new Release of PC Suite. I think the contacts synchronized (think I saw contacs list), but later the list was empty again and I can not force the phone to accept data from Notes.

I see the same problem, with Notes 7 and Nokia 6300.
My error message says that the password supplied is not correct, but I am sure it is. I can synchronize with the same phone and the same PC suite to the same Notes database via my other PC ( The notes database is located on a server. So the conclusion is that somehoe PC suite got an incorrect password - only there is no way of resetting it. Even if I reinstall PC suite, the new installation never asks for new settings - it comes up with the old settings , so I have no chance of changing anything - I can't even delet the synchronization profile. I suppose that a lot of settings are saved in the registry and stay there also after removal of PC suite. Any ideas of how to totally reset the PC suite settings without editing fifty registry settings?

How do I set default font size?

Some programs (most importantly for me, Thunderbird) use a default font size that is too small for my eye comfort. Some (such as Firefox) allow me to change the font size, but Thunderbird does not (though there is a menu item to change font size, which does not work).
I gather that such programs are using a default system font size. So I would like to change this. Some Help articles suggested that I could do this from the Font Panel, but they give no indication where to find the Font Panel. I cannot find it in System Preferences or via the Spotlight.
I am using OS X 10.4.7
I am computer-literate, but new to the Mac, having had this computer for about a week and a half.
P.S. In Thunderbird -> Preferences -> Fonts there is an option to configure the fonts used by Thunderbird. The settings affect messages, but not the main window with the message list. However, at this point I'd really like to set the system default so all programs that use the system default will be affected.
Thanks.
Daniel

This still does not work.
I tried all of them.
Theme Font & Size Changer
Big Buttons
Default FullZoom Level
NoSquint.
It only works for that page of that web site, as soon as you leave you start all over again.
Can't we just say Firefox messed up and needs to revert to the way it used to work without have to do ANYTHING to adjust any sizing.
This is utterly ridiculous.
It's a web browser for GOD sakes...not the OS. It shouldn't be doing anything but displaying web sites with NO INTERVENTION by the user for each and every page.
Why are programers always looking for ways to take a working product and make it useless???
