Some fonts don't work in Lightroom 4.2

Hello,
I am running Lightroom 4.2 on Windows 7. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. I am trying to use a font in LR 4 for a text based watermark that I have been using for years in previous versions of LR. The font is Kozuka Gothic Pro (OTF) and it works in Photoshop and Word and everywhere else but LR on my system. Are there specific kinds of fonts that work with LR?
Thanks,
Mike

for some unknown reason (unknown to us users...) Open Type Fonts (OTF) cannot be used for text based watermarks (ever since watermarks were introduced in LR3).
I hoped that LR4 would finally resolve this issue but unfortunately it didn't
All True Type Font (TTF) can be used for watermarking.
It would be very nice if Adobe would finally support OTFs in LR...the knowledge about OTF should be there...they co-developed OTF and "by the end of 2002 fnished converting their entire font library to OpenType "

Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.

you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

Some links don't work in Safari

I ran a whole bunch of software updates a while ago (funny, after the entire process, nothing actually updated... I had to run it again later), and somehow, in the process, something went wrong with Safari. Now, some links don't work. It's mostly links in the content portions of webpages. For example, things like the Store/Mac/etc buttons at the top of the Apple site work fine, but things like links in forum signatures don't. I have to open them in a new tab. I tried updating Safari, but it didn't fix anything. I've tested Firefox and Camino and they work fine, but Safari is my browser of choice, so this is pretty irritating. Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it?

You might try installing a fresh version of SafariStand and see if you still have the problem with dead links. I'm not familiar with the 'Quick Search' feature but you could have a look at Glims. Don't try to run both Glims and SafariStand together.

Fonts don't work correctly when opening illustrator 5 eps in illustrator 6

When I open an eps file in illustrator 6, which I received from our graphic designer (who is using 5), the fonts don't work correctly. We have purchased VistaSans and when I try to open file, it says fonts not found so they have been substituted, but when I open illustrator, the fonts are there. When I try to change text from VistaSansReg to VistaSansSCBold the bold doesn't apper in illustrator or when saving to PDF - however, when you click the changed text in illustrator, it does show the bold font has been selected.

HI,
It is an open type font so should work, but it looks like the problem is that it hasn't installed correctly in Illustrator. I am using Windows 7 so right-clicked fonts and clicked install. Fonts appear in fonts area of control panel and install in disabled when font is viewed. they work correctly in other apps, such as Word
When I vew the VistaSans fonts (in existing file) in Illustrator, they appear in the fonts drop-down, but have an asterisk beside them (i.e. not installed) so how do I get them to install correctly in Illustrator? Font isn't appearing in Photoshop either.

Why some fonts don't display properly

I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font. Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

Installed Mavericks and latest iWorks and some fonts will not work. Strangely these fonts work in Notes and old version of Strickies. Any ideas?

Installed Mavericks and latest updates for iWorks. Some fonts will not work on Pages or Keynote. Any ideas?

It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
http://www.playonmac.com
Just try with Playonmac...
If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/
It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...

After upgrade to os 4 some apps don't work including Apple Store

Upgrade went ok, but took long time. Some apps don't work correctly or crash. e.g. Apple Store app just recycles back to main screen. Starbucks app works for a few seconds then crashes.

I had same problems.
I decided to "downgrade" back to OS3. You can too!

Some fonts are not working

I need to use Times or Times New Roman font, and the apostrophe/quotation mark key just turns out a weird combination of letters instead. The key works in some fonts but not others. How can I fix this?

Hi Bethanning,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may want to look at Using and Managing Fonts in Mac OS X PDF. It says,
"Mac OS X is not limited to Roman alphabets
because it takes advantage of Unicode.Applications
that support Unicode can select characters from a
set of up to 65,636 different symbols.This is almost
one glyph for every possible character in every
written language.Most fonts don’t need so many
symbols,but many non-Roman fonts used in Asia
and the Middle East can have many thousands of
different glyphs.
To make it easy for users to select keyboard
layouts that correspond to different fonts,Mac OS X
provides an Input menu.This shows different
keyboard layouts so you can use the same keyboard
to select different glyphs.You can turn different
keyboard layouts,including the new Character
Palette,on and off through the Input Menu tab in
the International pane in System Preferences."
Not every font has the same symbols in the same places (sometimes symbols my not be included.

Some sounds don't work in Logic for me

Hi. I'm running Logic 9 on a 2010 13 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 ghz 4 GB OSX 10.6.7. Logic works perfect for me except that every now and then a few select sounds do not work. In fact, they do not load and cause my Logic to freeze and crash. It is very frustrating because the sounds that do not work are dispersed randomly and I forget which one not to click and then my entire project is lost. I can give you some of the sounds that I know off the top of my head that cause logic to crash: Orchestra>Choir>Chamber Ensemble, Gregorian Ensemble. I noticed this folder around half don't work and then other folders 1 or 2 sounds don't work. I would say that it's only about 1% of the entire library.
I'm pretty sure it is not a memory problem because the files selected are no bigger than other files I select. I thought that the files might have been corrupted somehow, so I actually reinstalled Logic 3 times, but I get the same problem. I downloaded all the updates. I also checked my hard drive and there are no problems with it. My only guess is that somehow the discs I bought did not get manufactured 100% correctly and some files did not get burned on properly. I don't see how only a few select files wouldn't work, but I had bought some blu-rays before where it would freeze at a certain section and I exchanged it for a working copy. Anyone have any leads or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Update 2: I just went to the Genius Bar and they gave me a new copy of Logic. I erased and installed my laptop once more just in case and installed Logic Pro. I got the same problem. Deductively, I beleive it's my laptop that is the source of the problem. My laptop is working perfectly fine otherwise though. Any ideas?

Some links don't work in 10.6.5

After upgrading to 10.6.5 I observed that certain links just don't work anymore, f.i. when I click a weblink in my email it should open it automatically in Firefox. Instead nothing happens. I have to manually copy and paste the link into Firefox. Same thing happens within Facebook. It seems as if the system doesn't automatically recognize the browser. Any idea how to fix this? It is annoying!

I have a similar issue on two completely separate Macs since upgrading them to 10.6.5. After a few hours use, links within some web pages, in Safari, will resolve to very random places. For example I click a news article link on the Yahoo home page, and it takes me repeatedly to a monster.com job listing page. Or if I am in Yahoo mail and I clcik Calendar, it takes me right back to yahoo mail and does not open the calendar page. Totally repeatable once this behaviour starts. Tried using Firefox - same exact bugs occur there once this behavior starts.
If I run Cocktail and run the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts, the problem gets instantly fixed, for a few hours, then it eventually comes back. Cocktail always fixes it though.
It appears that some cache, perhaps the whatis or lookup databases, are getting corrupted in 10.6.5, such that links get resolved to the incorrect addresses.
Happens on my MacPro Quadcore i7 as well as a friends MacBook Pro 17, 2009 unibody. BOth started showing this problem on both firefox and safari after the 10.6.5 update.
Help!!!!

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Clean Install of Windows 8 & Some buttons Don't Work

I bought this PC with dead Hard Drive. I installed new Drive and Windows 8 from USB.It only installed as 32bit OS and I know it should have been 64bit. Has 4Gb memory installed.Property screen shows: 4.00GB (2.97GB usable)(32bit OS, x64 Processor). Some of my buttons Don't Work nor does my Microphone. I have tried verifying all drivers but none fix buttons. No errors listed in Device Manager. Any help is Appreciated.

Wow that is so a "Canned" response. Can't install Windows7 on a system that never had 7. This unit was made originally for Vista. And even those do not have drivers I could use. Now if there were device manufacturer information you could give me about my unit then maybe I can get the buttons to work. The most important is the Microphone and Volume/mute buttons that need to work then you could help me.The Dell site will give you an exact biuld list when serial or Tag number is provided which help Identify device manufacturer so user can goto their site to get generic drivers to work with their Dell PC regardless of what version of OS is currently installed.So if you can really help here is the PC Info»HP TouchSmart IQ524 Desktop PC

Mail rules work for some users, don't work for others

Ready to pull my hair out over this one:
Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade went uneventfully, except for the fact that server-side mail rules (accessed via browser at FQDN -> Mail Rules) work for several users (two, to be exact) and don't for the rest (about 15 or so).
The usual culprits have been reviewed: 'Enable Server-Side Mail Rules' is checked in Mail -> Settings -> Filters, 'Allow users to configure server-side mail rules' is checked in Web -> Sites -> Web Services, users can create vacation notices and email rules without issue via browser, permissions look fine on the contents of /Library/Email Rules and /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts, logs give no indication of any foul play (at least the Email Rules -> debug.log generates the same entries for both functional and non-functional users), etc.
I have noticed that /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts contains only two items, which - you guessed it - line up with the GUIDs of the two functional users. Theoretically every user with a rule should be represented here.
As suggested in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11171395&#11171395
I created both a vacation notice and an email rule for several users, thinking that may force the folder creation for those users, but no dice. I even manually created folders for a few users with their GUIDs as the folder names and assigned each user ownership and read/write access. Still nothing. Created a few new test user accounts just to rule out any legacy account weirdness (although it's worth noting that I completely redid the OD and recreated user accounts after the upgrade) and replicated the problem with these, as well. Lastly, used Inspector to compare OD attributes between functional and non-functional accounts, with no glaring differences.
Help!

Did you find an answer? I encounter the same problem on my new MiniServer. Deleted and created all users several times, but just for some accounts mail is working.
Do you have the answer?
(new to this site, read a lot already, but not found)

Bluetooth Keyboard - Some key don't work

Hi friends,
I have a 2011 (intel based) 27'' iMac with the bluetooth keyboard. I have two non working keys (control and 1).
There's a way to repair it? My iMac doesn't have warranty and I would like to repair it. What can I do??
Note: I remove the key and see everything fine, but still don't work.
Sorry for my bad english.
Kelvyn.-

Hey KDCruz,
Thanks for the question. Let's see if we can isolate the issue further, the following article has some great troubleshooting steps:
