Some font weights don't show up in Illustrator drop-down menu

This problem is happening with more than one font (on a Mac, OS10.6.6, CS5), but as an example:
I have the Futura font family, all weights from Light to Extra Bold Oblique, in my Fonts folder in my Home Library folder. When I select type, and choose Futura in the Font drop-down menu, only 4 weights of the font appear in the drop-down sub-menu, rather than all of those installed....

I have the very same problem. Though, it also occurs after logging out and back in.
To clarify, "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" speakable items don't show up after login, even though they are selected in the Speech Preferences. Toggling Speakable Items off/on will make them appear. However, they are suppose be available immediately.
How to test it out:
1. Go to the Speech Preferences in System Preferences.
2. Within the Speech Recognition tab, choose the Commands tab and select "Menu Bar" and "Front Window". I have selected all command sets in that list.
3. Turn on Speakable Items.
4. In the round Speech Feedback window that appears, there is a button at the bottom with a triangle pointing down. This is its menu. You can open the Speech Commands window from this menu and see a list of command sets, such as "Speakable Items", "Application Switching", "Address Book", and so on. In particular, there should be "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" since they have been selected in Speech Preferences.
5. Logout.
6. Login.
7. The Speech Feedback window should appear after login. You might also have the Speech Commands window if you didn't close it before logout. If not, then open the Speech Commands window from the menu on the Speech Feedback window.
8. Notice the command sets for "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" do not appear in the listing.
9. Open Speech Preferences in System preferences. Choose the Speech Recognition tab, and then the Commands tab within that, if not already chosen. Notice the "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" command sets are selected even though they did not appear in the Speech Commands Window.
10. Perform the workaround: toggle Speakable Items off/on. Notice the "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" commands will now show up in the Speech Commands window.
11. Feel free to repeat steps 5 - 10 as often as you like. sigh 8-|
Is this what happens for everybody else?

Font size too large in IE in spry drop down menu

Created a Spry dropdown in a table row thats over a background image. My client just notified that on his windows IE there are breaks in the table cells above and below the table cell that hold the drop down. Looks great on all my macs in different browsers but if I increase the browser font size I notice the same issue. He says same issue on multipul computers at their business and has not messed with the default browser size.
Here is a screen shot. Site can be viewed at http://www.mountainchaletaspen.com
I can decrease the font size but then hard to read. Also not sure if it's a DOCTYPE issue.
The menu portion is a template page - if that matters.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark

I hope the problem is solved. I was scouring the code for the menu bar items and noticed there were spaces between some of the end tags - specifically between a few of the the </a></li>. I closed them up and my the template view in my assets panel suddenly corrected itself (it had been showing the gaps between tables but the paged still looked fine so I discounted it). That and also decreasing the width of the main menu items helped too. If someone with windows IE could check I would appreciate it:

How do I delete Bluetooth devices that only show up from the drop down menu bar, and not in the Bluetooth preferences devices?

I recently attempted, and failed, to pair/link/use my Playstation 3 Controller with my 13" Macbook Pro Retina (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1), and now I've been left with three unwanted 'devices' in my Bluetooth's menu bar, that don't show up in the Bluetooth's preferences devices, so I am unable to delete them from there.
The devices in question are labelled as "00-00-00-00-68-2f", "00-00-00-00-68-7f", and "00-00-00-00-68-ef".
I've read that resetting the PS3 Controller will remove these, but every attempt at that has failed as much as trying to use the Controller for gaming.
Any help with this little issue will be much appreciated, as I've found it very annoying.
Cheers

I have lost safari browsing, reinstalled it, added update combo for lion and safari, now I don't have even have a drop down menu under my apppleon the top tool, sometimes no responses to anything....stange garbled messages....reset safari many times...

How do I know what I am running....how do I know if I stillave snow leaopard, after I bought the lion updade 29.99, safari stopped browisng....nothing is rigt, lost lots of fucnctions...don't know where my browser is, don't have a druop donw menu under apple on tolbar.
RE installed 105.1 (orsomething,my appleico is blank), reinstalled safari 5.1.1, will not browse or searc....history or topsites picture windows anymore.....alll Icando is browse withyahoo, which I don't want. I don't know what a gmail counter is, or why I have it all of a sudden, but can't get rid of it. Picasa rarel letmeclose it....what can I do?
No Dock an more either.
Preferences. or services under apple icon, ust startup disk, restart, shutdown.

What you're describing makes no sense; it's a jumble of thoughts and supposed actions, but no concrete information to tell us anything.
If you downloaded Lion, that would not cause what you describe. If you had Snow Leopard running when you downloaded Lion, that also wouldn't cause what you describe. So you had to ahve done something to end up in this state. You say you reinstalled 105.1, but there is no such thing; more likely you mean Mac OS X 10.5, in which case you've answered your own questionn about having Snow Leopard installed anymore.
But if you did that, the question is why? Unless there was something catastrophic wrong with Snow Leopard, there would be no reason to reinstall Leopard. You also describe browsing with Yahoo, but that's not possible because Yahoo is not a browser. The Dock also does not just go "missing".
You're going to need to reinstall Leopard using the Archive & Install option, and then install Snow Leopard to get back to a usable state. If you have a backup from prior to when all these problems began, that's good. If not, then you will have to take your chances on losing all your data if this doesn't work.
Startup from your Leopard disc (if your system came with Leopard), choose your language, and then start the install process. Be sure to choose Archive & Install and Preseve Users and Network Settings before you start the installation. When it's done, let it restart and then check to be sure everything is in working order. If it is, put the Previous Systems folder in the Trash and empty it.
Then download the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the Apple web site and apply it. Restart and check to be sure everything is working.
Post back when you've done that.

I'm assuming you are using Field type prompts and these 2 fields (TaskStatus and TaskUser) are fields to group by for the pie chart.
If that is the case, the only workaround I see is to create 2 calculated columns in the dataobject, using Architect and not Active Studio.
For example:
New field name: By status
Calculated expression: TrimEnd(TaskStatus)
New field name: By user
Calculated expression: TrimEnd(TaskUser)
Then edit your prompt so that the 2 new calculated columns are the selection options for the drop down.

How do I export as XD Cam? I don't see it on the drop down menu.

I have the latest update of Premiere Pro CC and read that it has native support of XD Cam but I can't seem to find it in the export drop down menu. Is it not included in the initial download? Do do I need to install separately? If so, how ? Thanks.

Are you in the PrPro export box, or did you cue over to Adobe Media Encoder (AME) which is really the complete export program. If not, select the "Queue" option at the bottom of PrPro's dialog box, and then AME pops up.
As shown below, type in "xd" in the search box, then appears ...

Why is it that some missed calls don't show up in the missed calls list?

Why is it that some missed calls don't show up in the Missed Calls list?

Missed calls can only appear in your missed call list if your phone knows about them. In other words, if the phone rang, but you did not answer.
If a call was missed because your phone was turned off or not in a strong enough service area to receive the call, then it will not show up on your phone.

Drop Down Menu allways shows the Font Menu

Hi Everyone.
I work on a Mac G5 Version 10.4.11
in Illustrator CS3.
Right now I am trying to create a glossy button and therefore
I have to use the drop down menu of the transparency window.
When I press on the drop down menu (right now it says Normal)
instead of showing me the options like Screen) it shows me the Font Menu
(Show recent fonts, and show all fonts). I tried updating Illustrator and
I first deaktivated and then removed all fonts from the System, thinking
that I had a font problem. But that did not help.
Do you know what the problem could be?
Thank you.

Hi Anoo,
It does depend on what is being used to display the drop-down menu in the first place.
To have a menu disappear on its own, you would probably need to use the onmouseout event: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536948(VS.85).aspx
This can be used to call a javascript function that closes whatever object you have opened to display the menu and will be triggered as soon as the use moves the mouse away from the menu.

Foreign fonts display in character drop down menu

When designing a sign for a customer, I take a photo of the existing signs, place on a new document in illustrator cs6, type text then scroll through the text character drop down menu to match the new sign text to the font that is currently on the customers signs, business card etc.
There are many different types of fonts and I would prefer not to have the adobe system fonts, asian, arabic and other fonts that are not used for my purposes.
Is there a way to remove them from this list.
I have tried deleteing them from the window 7 font manager but they are essential system fonts and it displays a message that some programes will not work if I delete them.
I have tried show/hide in the windows 7 font manager but this has no effect on the fonts displayed in illustrator.
Any help would be appreciated.

update...
Seems windows 7 fonts can be set to show/hide for some programs but it does not work in illustrator. I have found a helpful program by Adobe Air called Font Picker which displays only the fonts installed and excludes hidden fonts (windows 7 font manager).
It would be good to have a search facility that has fonts catagorised. There are a few out there where you can tag them but I don't see myself sitting through 35000+ fonts I have collected over the years.
I did install Illustrator CC which has a few added options under the character font drop down menu. It also has a link to Typekit on Adobe Cloud but would you believe it didn't have Calligri which is a very common script font.
Has anyone on this forum found a solution to this before. There are may questions related to this on the web but no answers or feed back.

Unknown PC icon showing up in the shared drop down menu - a hacker?

There is an unknown PC "kirkshp" showing up in the shared drop down menu, that makes me worried. I have shut off my bluetooth, and airport connection for now but would like to know how this PC is connecting and how to eliminate this in the future.
Have seen many posts with this problem, but not a comparable situation as I don't even have wireless router in house - I am hooked in via ethernet but use airport when out of my studio.
Just want a simple, if temporary solution until I can learn more about network security - any wisdom out there? I would so appreciate it, thanks!

Hi
I think by Shared you mean the Shared Section in the Finder Window's Sidebar. If that's the case what you're seeing is probably because
(1) either you've joined an unsecured wireless network or
(2) your wireless network is unsecured and that person has joined your network
(3) both of you are using a freely available public wireless network
(4) your network is secured but has a weak password
(5) your network is secured with a password which has been broken
(6) your network is secured but you've given the user you're seeing the password
If (4) and (5) is the case change the password. If (6) perhaps you've forgetten? Perhaps the PC you're 'seeing' is named in a way you don't recognize as the person you gave the password to?
If (2) force users to require a password to join your network or disable the option that broadcasts your wireless network's name. That way no-one 'sees' your wireless network 'announcing' itself as such. The only way to join the network would be to manually enter its name which you would have to know in the first place. You do this using your gateway/router's web interface. Assuming your gateway/router supports this option?
If (1) you're probably looking at the person's PC whom the network belongs to.
As long as you don't enable Personal File Sharing, unrestricted SSH access or VNC then at best all they can do is 'see' another PC that happens to be connected to the same network. If you have enabled Personal File Sharing 'beef' up your passwords and begin to restrict which user/account is allowed access to Public Folders. Can you actually connect to that PC? Or is all you can do is 'see' it?
I actually don't see any of this as a 'problem'. For me this is how this part of the OS is supposed to work. Macs announce/broadcast themselves on P2P Networks using a variety of protocols - Bonjour/Rendezvous, NetBios etc. PCs do something similar. You may also find the PC that you can 'see' is not actually a PC but a Router/Gateway/Firewall. Some Thompson Gateways for example broadcast themselves as a 'PC'.

Ichat drop down menu from menu bar shows up in the wrong place.

I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, ever since I've moved to college, my Ichat drop down menu from the menu bar shows up on the left side of my screen, and you can only see half of the menu. I don't know how to fix this problem so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Sincerely,
Cody Martin

Yep.
Go to the Buddy List Status Message and option the Edit option.
Delete that Status Message that you have that is over 42 characters.
Ones of about 60 or more will introduce the "Left Shift" (And the fact the drop Down may line up with the right hand edge of the Menu Bar icon on in-between lengths)
In Snow Leopard it is possible to have a Long Message that displaces the Drop Down Off Screen.
The other factor is the order of the Menu Bar Icons on that side of the Screen
The iChat one can be Dragged if you use the Apple (CMD) key.
If the Drop Down can not fit the message in before the right hand edge of the Screen it will displace.
Having a Second mac User Account and deciding to Display which mac User is Logged in can give you some extra "space"

How do I set Firefox 29 to always show the bookmarks sidebar with one click instead of a drop down menu?

I've decided to just get used to Firefox 29 instead of messing with add-ons and what not to make it look like it used to but one thing that is too ingrained is a favorites/bookmarks sidebar with one click. I just don't like the drop down menu. Is there a way to set the "Bookmarks" button to show the sidebar in one click?

I want the bookmarks sidebar button. This should be a BASIC feature available, not something I need to install an add-on for to revert to some "classic restore". Why is something so straightforward and easy to use considered "classic", and everything has to be hidden and hard to see in this new version? All the colours in the new tabs BTW are are BLUE, and they blend in with the background at the top, you can't see the tab edges - whose bright idea is this?

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.
