Some fonts have disappeared..?

I have been using CS4 Illustrator for a year now on my laptop.  Recently my laptop had to be taken to a repair shop.  All of my software was wiped whilst the laptop was being serviced.  Last week I reinstalled Adobe CS4 suite back onto my laptop, however, some of the fonts that I used to have are now not there anymore (such as 'OCR Extended').  A lot of my work for university has been created in these fonts that I now do not have and so my work will not open properly.  I am not sure how to get them back?  I have tried unistalling, using the clean script and then reinstalling again and that did not work.  Any help would be much appreciated!  I am rubbish on computers and my deadline for my work is on January 12th!  Thank you.

These fonts are not standard system fonts. They were most likely added by another app or you installed them manually at some point. For OCR A and B, the old Bitstream versions are installed by CorelDraw for instance. Without knowing which app it actually was, though, your best option is to track them down using font sites such as DaFont.

  • Fonts have disappeared

    Hi, i'm hoping someone can help me....
    Im having issues with font book. It's currently empty and all my fonts have disappeared. If i try to install a font it will appear in font book until i restart my computer, then it will disappear again. All Microsoft fonts are non-existent. The only fonts i can access in Microsoft applications are Mac System fonts (which aren't very many). I have looked in the font disabled folder and its empty. I have also downloaded linotype font explorer and it hasn't helped the situation.
    This problem all started when i downloaded some fonts from the net for teaching purposes (which i will never do again after all the problems its caused me).
    Can anyone help with idea's on how to restore all my fonts? Any advice is much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • Photos in some events have disappeared....

    Photos in some events have disappeared leaving a grey image of a sunset and palm tree. I have tried rebuilding iPhoto 11, but no change. What can I do to restore these?

    Thanks Japp74.  The photos were still in the main photo file, but the events had dissappeared. I have now created new events. I'm not sure what has happened but it may be something to do with iCloud as the photos had moved from several events on seperate days into one large event with several dates.  thi si sthe first time this has happened so may be a glitch that Apple fix in the future.

    Restore them from your latest backup

  • I recently updated a friends iPhone 3 to I cloud , however some contacts have disappeared. These seem to be the ones that were added onto her phone and not her sim. As I have done a sim import. This is the first time she has ever done a back up and sync.

  • Some photos have disappeared!!

    My mac froze so I turned it off and rebooted it, and when I reopened iPhoto afterwards, more than half of my photos have disappeared from the Library. I went to the iPhoto folder in the Finder and it shows all the pictures are still there, in their dated folders. When I tried to import them back into the Library, it comes up with an error saying that they're already there ... even though they aren't showing up. What's wrong, and how can I fix it?

    callmezoe:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless you have a backup of either the iPhoto LIbrary folder or the Library6.iPhoto database file you've lost that library are it was. The dB file has been damaged. You can try rebuilding the library but I don't hold much hope for success. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    If that doesn't work you'll have to create a new library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

    Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
    The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
    As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
    The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
    Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
    Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
    I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
    I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
    I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
    Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

    As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
    They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
    I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
    Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
    Oops! Sorry, missed that.
    So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
    It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
    Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.

  • Some fonts have become tiny and pale blue

    Example: When I view my online banking, my personal information is presented in a tiny font, which is also too pale to read, pale blue. When I am ordering something online, the fill-in boxes and what I type in them are tiny and pale blue. When I shopped on Drugstore.com, I had to read with a magnifying glass about their products. I have cleaned the registry and tried to find ways to adjust the font, but since not everything on the desktop is tiny and pale blue, I 've had no effect at all. Incoming email is fine, as is outgoing email. Word documents are fine.

    Check the default font and color settings (screenshot: [[Some text shows up bold after upgrade]])

  • URGENT! Some apps have disappeared

    Hey,
    So i have recently hooked my iPhone 2G to another computer to "Transfer Purchases" to that computer. Now i randomly have some of my apps missing (Shazam and PocketGod - to name a few). I don't know where they are or what to do. I've tried to unsync my apps with my main computer (took them all off) and sync it again, didn't work. Tryed reseting the main screen, nope, because im still here typing this post. Any help

    Make sure you are logged into your iTunes Store account on the computer and the iPhone - apps are DRM-protected and linked to the account used to download them.

  • Some emails have disappeared from my account

    My email has been working perfectly but recently some emails seem to have completely vanished. All suggestions appreciated

    Sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud) reboot and sign back in.

  • Songs have disappeared from my library and Ipod.  I have found some in trash but I did not send them there.  Others have completely gone.

    Hi - I have discovered that some songs have disappeared from my itunes library and Ipod. I have found some of them in trash even though I did not trash them, as they are some of my all time favourite songs.  I have now restored these trashed songs to my library/ipod. 
    However I cannot find some other missing songs in trash - so I have no idea where they could be! It makes me feel very insecure about itunes as a whole.  I would prefer music to diamionds - and it disturbs me when music just disappears like that!  An explanation/solution would be gratefully received.  I wonder whether I can ask Apple to pay for the items that have gone for good!

    Andrea,
    have you tried to update the Ipod? If not try that, but do not restore it. If you still cannot find the songs, there is - I suppose you are using windows - a nifty little program available from Findley Designs (www.findleydesigns.com) that allows you to transfer Music from your Ipod to your PC. Download it and see if it works with one song, if it does it is about USD 14 to buy and helps if you want to transfer songs from your Ipod to your computer. If you have transferred the music to your computer you can restore your Ipod-
    Good luck
    Thomas

Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • Some of my mailboxes have disappeared. How do I recover them?

    Some of my mailboxes have disappeared. How do I recover them?

    If they were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, with some effort you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.
