Strange font situation in Keynote

I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of keynote. I opened a presentation I previously created in the last version of Keynote and a weird thing is happening with fonts not appearing correctly. I attached 2 screenshots to illustrate what's happening, I drew red circles on the one to show where its happening, the other is pretty apparent.

Seems to have something to do with the Character Styles, getting the same thing there.

Why do fonts appear in Keynote, but not in Font Folder?

I made a misguided move in adding fonts through Font Book and am trying to restore my fonts to a previous iteration. Strangely though, the fonts appear in Keynote, but not in the usual Fonts folders. Can anyone shed light on why this might be the case? More information can be found, under the Mavericks discussion forum, here.

Suzanne,
As is my guess, there is now something wrong with those fonts. There are utilities, that can possibly repair them - two mentioned in the article. If you have a backup of the fonts, from when they worked, perhaps just going to that, and reinstalling them will solve the issue. I'd hate to think that they might have to be acquired all over again, but that might be "plan D."
Periodically, I will copy all of my fonts to DVD (now - used to be CD), just to have them available for new computers, or OS's. Over the decades, I have lost a few to corruption, that could not be repaired. In several cases, I had an older BU, that did work, but have had to buy a few again. Just checked on my workstation, and I've got 19,362, though seldom more than about 350 ever installed at one time.
This reminds me that it's about time to do another BU, as I will be getting a new workstation and laptop fairly soon, and will need to transfer my fonts to them.
Good luck, and hope that things can be saved - I hate to loose a favorite font.

Strange fonts after updating os-x

after updating to os 10.4.9. safari shows strange fonts (looks like outtaspace) on some websites. not on all websites. also apples mail is displaying these strange things in the adress lines. choosing different fonts (f.e.helvetica) in safaris preferences doesnt helped. any tips to resolve this spacy letters ???
firefox is workin fine.
thnx,
matthias
powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) also G5 dual 2,5

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The two fonts that seem to adversely affect Safari are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic.
Open Font Book in your Applications folder. Enter either of these names in the spotlight panel. If either appears, disable it via the Edit menu. If neither is in your system, please provide a screenshot of the font type.
If the above referenced fonts applies to your situation, download a copy of Font Finagler. This will allow you to clean the Font cache.
When done, restart the computer/Safari.

When creating PDF from web page why does text appears as strange font not readable?

I am using Acrobat Standard, ver. 9.5.5. Frequently if I save a web page on either Firefox or Internet Explorer by printing to my Adobe PDF driver, much of the text is rendered in a strange font rather than in the font that appears on the web page. The only work-around I have found is to print the document to a printer and then scan the printed page to create a PDF. Is there a solution to this problem?

The OS may be an issue so what are you using Win7, Win8, XP, MAC, or other? In printing, what job settings are you using? When you open the PDF, check the properties (ctrl-D) to see if the fonts are embedded or not. The problem is likely related to the font not being embedded. The embedding may be a license issue for the font. Acrobat will only embed fonts that are properly licensed. You might try the Print or Press job settings that are a bit better to embedding all fonts.

Strange Fonts in labview graph's plot legend.

Hello All,
I am running labview 7.1 on a Windows XP machine and
the default and only language is English (US). Verified this under
Control Panel > Regional Settings.
When I run a VI, I get strange fonts in the plot
legend. They keep updating as the VI runs. Here is a screen shot of the
plot legend:
I change the font to something I can read, save the VI and run it again
and it automatically changes to this unreadable font again. Any ideas
on what I can do? Thanks.

Is it just the font that is off, or are these actually non-printable characters?
Are you graphing e.g. dynamic data types? Do you possibly have weird names for your signals?

I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times to no avail. There are no other problems with w/ other CS4 programs, they all have the normal system font. I can't figure it out. Thanks!

Strange font substitution

Hi there,
I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.2. It has suddenly started to have problems with the fonts in fontbook and also doing some very strange font substitutions.
Instead of showing text normally it is replacing it with random characters. You can kind of read it but it's not real letters. I have a screenshot of it but don't know how to post the image on here.
This substitution is happening in Mail, Preview and Safari, so seems to be with native OS X software.
Any ideas?

Hi Simon,
Have you gone to FontBook and resolved duplicates?
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your fonts work in that User acct? (That will tell where your font issue is coming from - whether it's in your Home fonts folder or a system fonts folder) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account. Check your fonts in that account and let us know the result.
Also, have you disabled Helvetica Fractions, Helvetica Neue and Times Phonetic, if you have them? They are known troublemakers.
Here is a user tip by Kurt Lang that lists all necessary system fonts and their locations. Also installed fonts and their font folders and loacation from Apple.

How to insert fonts into ipad keynote

You cannot add fonts to iOS.

Strange fonts problem in VirtualBox

Hello!
I've got some strange font artifacts, could anyone suggest something?
http://imagebin.ca/view/WJVkiH2n.html

I have used VB on my MBP for some time and have Win7 (64bit), Win2000 and Ubuntu virtual machines all working well.
I suspect that you may have allocated all CPU cores to each VM. I found that will cause the whole machine to become sluggish. I reduced the numbers of cores to: Win7, two (of four on my MBP), and; Win2000 and Ubuntu, one each.
Of course, only have one machine, including the MBP, doing heavy processing at once.
Also keep in mind that installing an operating system is CPU intensive.
Hope that helps.

Strange Font issue - Adobe reader

Hi All,
First off - Thank you for your help.
I have a strange issue with Adobe Reader where the font is not correctly displayed correctly as compared to the original document. Document diplays in a strange font as per attachment.
I have removed and re-installed Adobe reader. Updated Reader to a newer version. Installed Adobe pro (licenced) and as a last resort - removed and updated local display drivers.
Issue remains as per attached image.
Is this due to embedded fonts? How do i fix this? Re-imaging the machine is no go at this point.
Please help!
Thank You,
L+G_Guy

Look at file > document properties > fonts and see if any are listed without the word "embedded" or "embedded subset" against them.
If a font isn't embedded and isn't available on your system, Adobe Reader will try and substitute another one - but it often looks strange. Aside from that without seeing the actual file we can't help, and of course Adobe Reader can't fix missing fonts; you have to either recreate the original PDF, or install the fonts on your computer.

Export isn't accurately displaying fonts for new Keynote (6.5)

Hey guys!
I'm using special fonts in my Keynote decks, but they've suddenly stopped exporting correctly. Here's what I mean:
This is what my deck looks like in Keynote. But when I export to PDF it shows up like this:
It's still the same font (I think), but the formatting is way off. This is a new problem, as I've used the font before and the PDF exported just fine. Now when I go back to those old projects and export, the same problem happens.
Interestingly, the preview screen for the actual Keynote file also has the same weird formatting:
Any thoughts or ideas would be really appreciated. It's kind of urgent – I'm giving a talk tomorrow and I can't figure out a way to get them the properly formatted slides.

Haha hey Mattan!
Had this problem too. Removing the .otf font from your library and installing the .ttf version of it fixes the problem.
Cheers,
Roger

Font Problems in Keynote

Hi all
Having some big Font problems using keynote since the last Snow Leopard update some month ago Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869) .
I tried to install the Latest Font Update package as well but nothing.....
The problem is the Myriad Pro Bold font (Apple use Myriad Pro almost everywhere).
The other Myriads work just fine.
I have also checked the Font Book and the Font is NOT duplicated.
Have done some 50+ presentation in Keynote all with this Font.
It looks like this
Thanks for your time and help

Yes I have...nothing happens. The font is myriad pro bold, all other myriads works. The thing is that I have used that in almost every slide in some 50 presentations, i.e hundreds or perhaps thousends of slides and in keynote you can not change them all et once. On my both iMacs works just fine but I cant install the uptades just in case, and who carry around an iMac for every presentation

Strange fonts (characters) in preference folder

There are Strange fonts (characters) in user/home/library/ preference folder.
Here are some examples: #¿ê◊8øˇ”0†~a|, #0ê◊8øˇ”0†~a|, ê◊8øˇ”0†~a|. Can you tell me what they are and if they can be deleted? Rob

Hi, Rob.
As noted in this Adobe Photoshop Discussions topic, the cause appears to be the TWAIN plug-in included with Adobe Photoshop CS or CS2.
The answer appears to be to either:
(a) move to another folder; or
(b) insert ~ at the start of name of
the TWAIN plug-in in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 > Plug-Ins > Import/Export folder.
Good luck!

Using Symbol Font in Pages/Keynote etc.

Here is a strange problem: Whenever I want to insert a greek character from Symbol font Pages (09 as well as 08, and Keynote ...) replaces it by some standard font (probably Helvetica). In effect, Symbol is not available. If I want to write a simple formula containig a greek character (as e.g a small beta) I have to use Mathtype or copy and paste from word. Good old Appleworks also works fine with Symbol font.
Can anybody help?? What am I doing wrong???

Using the character pallette or activating the greek keyboard will of course do. It seems an awkwardly labourious way to me, though. If I understand you correctly there is no other way. Why would symbol font (which is not greek but symbol!) not work in the same way as e.g. Wingdings (Zapf Dingbats behaves just as symbol, though)? I Don't care for Unicode, but this, I think, is unfortunate.
It is the other way around - the way monotonic Greek and mathematics are drawn in Adobe PostScript is a disaster -:). It helps to read Inside Macintosh: Text, published in 1993, and the PostScript Language Reference Manual, first and second version.
How was monotonic Greek and mathematics drawn on the Apple LaserWriter in 1985? Well, it was drawn by depicting the glyphs for monotonic Greek and mathematics in the built-in Adobe Symbol font program dictionary onto Apple Roman.
Adobe PostScript provides two procedures to get from characters to glyphs, StandardEncoding and FontSpecific encoding. The latter encoding vector is used when the Adobe PostScript configurable name space that replaces a character set is used to overrule the operating system character set.
If you were typing monotonic Greek because you wanted to type Greek, and not because you wanted to type mathematics, you were in the ditch with this hack since the hack broke spelling, sorting and searching which are processes that are predicted on character codes.
Apple Royal, now Apple Advanced Typography, was a project that took two directions to address the problem of drawing to the display and the printer.
First, the CMAP Character Map was intended to include the characters for the writing systems of world scripts.
Second, the layout logic to map from characters to glyphs was intended to provide evaluatable appearances for stylistic alternates such as small capitals, superscripts, subscripts and ligatures.
Adobe PostScript is a one-to-one mapping model that by definition is incapable of protecting the source character string when drawing fine typography.
You may rest assured that the issue of interactive input methods is on the agenda for computer manufacturers. For instance, Microsoft failed in a bid to acquire Swiss keyboard maker Logitech in 2008.

Fonts and older Keynote presentation

I have tons of Keynote 08 presentations which no longer open in keynote after upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6.2). I think the problem is related to Fonts (based on my reading of the error message details). Does anyone has any clue as to how do resolve this (aside from going back to previous OS version)?

It is really strange, the presentation opens in Keynote, I can see the slides and then it hourglasses and crashes. The error message essentially says that Keynote quit unexpectedly. Under details there are some references to font libraries.
I can create new presentations, use the same fonts as the ones in the older presentations, save them and have not problems. It is only the old ones that are not opening.
