Standard default font vs. nonstandard font

How do you check for a nonstandard "system installed" font for the display.
Using it if there and if not set the font to a standard default font.
i.e. I want to use timeField.setFont(new Font("sansserif", Font.PLAIN, 48)); if it is there. If not, I want to use whichever the standard default font is.
tia,
Daniel

How do you set the font (i.e. comic sansserif) and,
if not exists, then use the default?
Did we not just answer this question by trying it out?
As for setting the font to the non-default font. What are you having trouble with? I have not set TrueType fonts with Java yet, but from what I am reading, it looks as though you might just be able to give it the name of the font.

Set Default Standard Element Font in Designer

Are there any configuration settings or .ini files I can edit in the Designer installation folder that will change the font selected for a standard elements when I place a new standard element from the library onto my form? I realize I could just create a custom element but I don't want to have to recreate all the standarad elements just so my default font become Arial.
Has anybody done this?

I posted this same question awhile ago and just today ran across a similar posting last July (why I didn't find it sooner I have no idea?). Check the 3rd entry (the one written by David) in this posting. It worked great for me. Hope it helps.

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?
dan

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.

Reinstalling Default Fonts in Mountain Lion

Hi,
After buying the new iMac and have used it for two day I noticed that some files were in the Trash folder including the Fonts folder (don't ask me how they got there becuase I would swear I didn't move them). Since I didn't know where the Fonts folder belones to (system or user folder) I search on the internet and some people sugested doing a restore using Font Book (File>Restore Standard Fonts), but this made it worse since when it when and check it deletes the existing folders so now I only have the folder that was in the trash and I'm for sure missing one folder.
Is there a way to reinstall the default fonts in Mountain Lion without reinstalling the operating system?
This is the only thing I found but this will reinstall the OS.

Thanks a lot

You can use FontBook to find and delete duplicates.
Have you checked for updates for your iWork?
I did use FontBook to delete the duplicates.
The applications were working fine before the reinstall, I checked for updates but it doesn’t show any for these applications.
My problem with this is that I cannot reinstall these applications since I have them in a DVD and my computer doesn’t have a DVD drive. I installed them sharing the DVD drive from my old MacBook but I sold it two days ago, the only thing I have is an Acer laptop but I don’t know if it is possible to share the drive.
Is there a way to somehow put my DVDs in a USB drive, so I can install them without needing a DVD drive (assuming I can barrow my nephews Mac which has a DVD drive)?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How to set default font color in Pages

I don't know why. I did a standard clean install of iWork 08. In Pages, everytime I select to insert a text box, the color of the font defaults to brown rather than black. It's a pain to change it to black all the time. Also I noticed that when I select to insert a line, it also defaults to brown. Any thoughts on why this is happening as the default color and how to fix it?
Also, almost evertime I do the option click on the text box icon to draw a text box, the cursor changes to the crosshair but the box allows me to draw the with size, but the length of the column automatically can't be drawn- it extends instead all the way off the bottom of the page. In other words I can't really draw the text box to the size I need. I'm new to Pages.

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.

Change default font & default font size

As far as I can make out it's not possible to reset the default font or font size in LC Designer ES 8.2........or is it, & if so, how?
I found this page re LC ES3, but it doesn't seem to apply to earlier versions.
TIA

Hi,
Designer uses predefined objects which are stored as *.xfo files unser your user account.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Designer\10.0\DE\Objects\Standard
You can open such files with any simple text editor and modify them.
For example, you open the NumericEdif.xfo in your editor.
Them you'll see an XML file where you'll find the information for the typeface and the size.
<field name="NumerischesFeld" y="0mm" x="0mm" w="67.056mm" h="9mm">
 <ui>
 <numericEdit>
 <border>
 <edge stroke="lowered"/>
 </border>
 <margin/>
 </numericEdit>
 </ui>
 
 <margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
 <para vAlign="middle"/>
 <value>
 <float/>
 </value>
 <caption reserve="30.0736mm">
 
 <para vAlign="middle"/>
 <value>
 <text>Numerisches Feld</text>
 </value>
 </caption>
 </field>
Just change the name of the typeface and the size in the way you like and save the file.
You don't need to restart Designer, the next tiome you choose the nemueric field, it's created with the new font settings.
<field name="NumerischesFeld" y="0mm" x="0mm" w="67.056mm" h="9mm">
 <ui>
 <numericEdit>
 <border>
 <edge stroke="lowered"/>
 </border>
 <margin/>
 </numericEdit>
 </ui>
 
 
 <margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
 <para vAlign="middle"/>
 <value>
 <float/>

Restoring default fonts without reinstalling OS X?

I recently uninstalled a trial version of Microsoft Office, and followed an online tutorial to delete any and all files associated with it. However, by mistake, I deleted some of my default fonts. I've tried using Font Book to recover them but it keeps returning the same error message; "Please reinstall Mac OS X to recover default fonts". I am currently running Mountain Lion, and do not have a bootable version of it with which to reinstall.
I'd like to know if there's an easier way of restoring all my fonts at once, or at least determining which ones are missing so that I could reinstall them each at a time.

There is an option in Font Book to "Restore Standard Fonts"
Check attached image:

Script UI default font on a Mac?

Hi,
I'd like to know what the default font is on the Mac for ScriptUI
windows, when targeting the ESTK.
For Windows it's SegoeUI.
The following script should return the font:
w = new Window("dialog");
alert(w.graphics.font);
Could someone with a Mac do me a favour and run that script from the
ESTK, with the ESTK targeted? An indication of ESTK version would be
helpful as well, I guess, if it's changed in the course of the various CS's.
Many thanks,
Ariel

Shane, the JS Tool guide does not mention these standard fonts by name; SUI for Dummies mentions 'dialog', 'window', and 'palette'. (I have no idea where Peter Kahrel got those names from.) All three of'em return "Lucida Grande:13" on my Mac (CS4).
None of the others you suggested return anything useful -- it just echoes the same word, which is SUI's way of saying "whatever you want, dude" for a font name it does not recognize:

Is it possible to set "Courier" as the default font for a whole swing application?
I seem to have gotten lost here, could someone give me some pointers please?
Thank You,

So it needs to be done right at the beginningYes.
Is there a code sample i can look at for reference and a standard way of doing this.I've seen examples posted in the forum the use the UIManager.getDefaults() method and then iterate through the defaults looking for all properties that end with ".font" and then replace the font as required.

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?
