Third Party Font on Mac Mini

I have a new mac mini with OS X, Version 10.4.5 and I am trying to load ITC Kabel font with font book and can’t. My friend has a G5 with OS X, Version 10.4.6 (with Classic also loaded) and she can load the same font in her OS X font book. When I open up the font on my old G3 (OS 9.2) it shows it as a font file; on the mac mini it shows it as a Unix Executable file). Any help would be appreciated.

I think I understand what you're doing, but I'm not sure why. I was under the impression that you were having problems adding fonts to Font Book & the default libraries. Since the font is now listed in Font Book, that part is done, it is in the default library, computer or user, that you have set in the Font Book preferences. A new library or new collection will be empty ("no fonts selected") until you add fonts to them. Unless you want to keep a font library on a server for access by several computers or create one to have different collections than in the main computer or user library there is no need to create more libraries. Fonts in the libraries are available to applications. Some applications may not recognize fonts added while the program is running. You will need to quit the program & then restart it. You may even need to restart your Mac.
If you want to organize your fonts by type or use, like I have in this picture (you can see me dragging the font Curlz to the Fun collection), create a new collection, name it & then add fonts to it either by File > Add Fonts > click on the desired font(s) to select/highlight > Open or by dragging & dropping from the all fonts pane.
Please post back if I'm still clear as mud. I'll try some more & see if I can find someone else with ideas.

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word? I do not want to purchase Pages unless I can use it for this one very specific purpose. How can I determine the correct answer before purchase?
Many thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Hmmm ... I see the font in my Font Book and in Suitcase Fusion, but it doesn't appear on the list of fonts in either Word for Mac or Text Edit, no matter what I tried. I attempted quitting all applications, cleaning the cache using Suitcase Fusion, and rebooting the computer, but no dice.
You think this is an installation or configuration problem my local Apple store could help fix ... not an underlying incompatibility? If so, I will take it in.
Please know I sincerely appreciate the help. I'm at my rope's end on a project this evening and truly grateful for the reinforcement. Thank you.

Third-party font-suitcase migration from iMac G3 to iMac G4 Classic Environment

Hello,
I thought I was all set ... successfully installed Appleworks 6.0.3 in the Classic Environment on my "new" Sunflower iMac G4 so I can still use my 3 macros and 2 custom buttons ... and imported my user dictionary as well. That was last week. (Hard drive on G3 is failing or I wouldn't have made the switch.)
It turns out I am using one third party font, two suitcases: Merriam and Merriam-Webster that the G4 will not recognize even in the Classic Environment. I spent hours yesterday reading about font issues and trying various things but didn't find anything that seems to apply directly to my situation.
I obtained these fonts from Merriam-Webster back in 2003 as part of downloading a trial dictionary.... I don't even remember. It turns out that one of these fonts proved useful last year ... providing an elegant way of making fractions... instead of 1/2, it would appear as superscript 1 over subscript 2 (without going to the trouble of creating super- and sub-scripts) ... nice in a report where I have mixed fractions for acreage, linear measurements, and fractional ownership in halves, thirds, fourths, and fifths. (In Times New Roman, these combinations look like "azr", "azs", "azt", etc. ). I can certainly go back and manually (no format search-and-replace capability available in AW 6.0.3) replace these instances with superscripts and subscripts in Times New Roman, but I was hoping to be able to make the MerriamIPA font available in Classic. (Another option, to use the fractions available in Lucida Grande, seemed promising, but LG appears to be limited to OS X.)
What I have read indicates that you need to know what sort of font you are dealing with. The Merriam font suitcase looks just like all the other font suitcases on my G3 iMac, the little suitcase icon with an A on it. Inside, there are three fonts, each with the typical icon ... a page with the upper left corner turned down and a letter A on it. The Merriam suitcase contains 144 kb, the MerriamIPA font, 43 kb. The Managing Fonts help file on my iMac G3 says you can use Get Info in Finder to determine the font type. All I see is "font" or "font suitcase" for both the Merriam files/suitcases and several other native fonts.
I copied (using a thumb drive) the Merriam and Merriam-Webster font suitcases to /System Folder/Fonts on the G4 iMac. The suitcase displays zero bytes and file type Unix Executable File. I tried copying just the font independent of the suitcase. Same result. I tried appending .DFONT, .OTF, .TTF ... various font file extensions and was able to fake the system into thinking what sort of font file it is, but could not get the font to appear in AW 6.0.3.
I won't need this after I complete final edits on a 300-page report I have been working on for ten years (replete with drawings, footnotes, tables, etc.) At this point I'm anxious to get back to the edits and be done with migration issues! Hope someone can help.

I gave up on using a different font or figuring out if I could use Times New Roman's built-in fractions visible in Font Book (as unicodes) and did a work-around based on Michael Wasley's tips in this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11622842#11622842
I adapted it however and think it looks a little better.
Font: Times New Roman 12 point
I used the fraction bar in 12-point (Shift-Option-1) for automatic kerning.
For the numerator, I changed the font style to superior (12-point).
For the denominator, I changed the font style to subscript (Shift-Command-hyphen) and reduced the font size to half, or 6-point using the short-cut Shift-Command-<.
When the fractions occured in my footnotes (9-point), I used 4-point in the denominator; 10- and 11-point, I used 5-point in the denominator. This seemed to produce the best result when printing.
Thank you, Michael.

How to remove third party application from mAC

how to uninstall or remove custom application from mac yasomite. New to mac   easy and safe way
thanks in advance

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Install third party certificate on MAC os X

Hello,
I have installed leport 10.5.X on my machine. I am new bie for MAc and want to install intermediate certificate for my domain from Digicert. I have registered from Digicsert. Please help me to how can I install on the machine. I also need to create a new certificate but when I tried to add it shows an error message like this.
"There are no valid root or intermediate certificate authorities available to sigh certificates. Use the "create certificate Authority" option to create a certificate authority."
Can anybody please help me to what should be the next step.
And how can I install third party certificate.
Thanks in advance.

There is a product called VolumeWorks that is supposed to do this. I looked at the demo, but I could not get it to see the extra space so I ended up backing it all up and erasing the Raid and doing a block copy with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Good Tutorial On Installing Third-Party Software For Mac OS X?

Hey Everyone,
I have a friend who recently switched over from Windows to a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.x.
Recently he asked me to explain to him how installing software on Mac OS X works. He was always used to the typical Windows setup.exe installation methods that dropped everything you needed in the Start Menu.
After explaining to him the usage of DMG files, PKG files, Installer.app, and drag-and-drop installs, he felt pretty comfortable with the process.
However, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a good beginners tutorial for how software installation on Mac OS X works. I checked the Mac 101 site, didn't see much. Searching Apple's knowledge base didn't give me any helpful "general" documents.
If anyone has useful links they can point me to so I can direct my friend (and anyone else that might ask me this type of question) to some reading material, that could prove very helpful.
Thanks!

I don't think there is such a document because installing software on a Mac is pretty simple and self-explanatory. You've explained as much as there is needed to know.
Your friend could visit The XLab FAQs where he will find numerous FAQs on using and troubleshooting the Mac.
There are plenty of books available that can be ordered through Amazon.com.

Expanding third party Raid on Mac OS X Server 10.4.10

We have an ACNC SCSI Raid connected to a G4 tower via an ATTO UL4S Ultra 320 SCSI card. The G4 is running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10 with the latest ATTO drivers and firmware. The ACNC Raid has four 500GB drives for a 1.5TB volume. We want to expand this with two more 500GB drives. The instructions from ACNC show to first add the two drives to the existing array which migrates the data across all drives. Next we modify the volume set to have the new 2.5TB capacity. Finally they say we must "stretch" the partition on the filesystem. They provide instructions for doing this on Windows and on Linux but on Mac OS X. Will this final step be possible on Mac OS X or have I hit a major problem? If I have, is my only solution to back this data up and rebuild the array and they bring the data back?

There is a product called VolumeWorks that is supposed to do this. I looked at the demo, but I could not get it to see the extra space so I ended up backing it all up and erasing the Raid and doing a block copy with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Preview Pop-Up Menus with third-party Player for mac

Hi, everyone,
Does anyone have an idea, how i could preview my pop-up menus without burning and waisting a BD every time??
I just downloaded two different free BluRay players for mac, they both dont seem to have the option to open a Pop-up menu. (I really wonder, why that is so, i cannot imagine that this is so hard to develop…)
anyway, how do you guys do that?? is there any software out there that can do this?? I am at a point where i feel i would even pay for a software or get a windows software and run it via crossover, if nessesary...
Please help, i really want to preview my BluRay before i burn it on disc.
Thank you very much,
Niki

Two methods:
I use Total Media Theater (5 or 6). It is not free, and I do not know if it is available for Mac. Popup menus and slideshow operation is the most challenging for emulators (which is what computer DVD/BD players are).
Burn to a DVD+RW. This is essential as a test step to burn to some disk.

How to install third party fonts into Photoshop CS6 cloud?

Hi, in need of assistance. My previous version of PhotoShop was CS5, and I have my photography logos created using the font "chisel thin". Now that I have a new macbook pro laptop and am also now using the cloud version of PhotoShop CS6, when I open my saved logos on the cloud, it does not recognize the font "chisel thin"? So, is there a way to download the "chisel thin" font so it is available for me to use on the cloud? If so, how do I go about doing it? I'm not super tech savy, so clear, exact detailed instructions on how to download / update the "chisel thin" font would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for your help,
Mike (McDermott Photography)

Thank you Jeff.
Welcome to the forum McDermottPhotography,
You will need to download and install the ttf (true type font again) on your new machine. I am not sure if the following is the font that you are referring to, but here is one named similiarly http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Chisel+Thin+Normal/.

Why can not I use third-party True-Type fonts in my firefox application?

Third party web fonts service "integration"

Please make it possible for people who use other web fonts services than TypeKit in a more non annoying, hair puling approach.
I use Fontdeck, Fonts.com and Linotype, not TypeKit. And I have no issue with doing it manually by pasting <link> tag into the <head> of your web pages. Upload to FTP then download the site_global.css and paste font-family CSS rules into my site_global.css stylesheet.
All fine, if it meant only doing it one time, or when change font or style or weight etc. Then natually I accept going through the above steps again.
But every time I make a change to my site the .css its obviously overwritten and its back to Arial. So I end up doing this 8-10 minimum a day.
Please look to the way you have handled it in Dreamweaver. Or make checkbox in site properties telling i use “third party font service” leave the font-family tag ALONE! Or when upload to FTP promt me, asking if I want to change the font-family HTML tag in site_global.css… I know its a nasty solution. But i’m a software engineer. But even this would be better.
Please fix it. TypeKit is okay, but their (your) font catalogue is not that great to be honest.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. We agree that a designer should be able to use any web font from any foundry/vendor/service in their Muse site. With Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 (released earlier today) we are a step closer to achieving that goal.
If any of the services you mention above support a "self-hosting" option, please give Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 a try. This update includes support for self-hosted web fonts; to use a specific font in your Muse site, you will need to install the system font (properly licensed for desktop use) and provide the corresponding web font files (properly licensed for use on a website).
Hope this helps.

Mac Pro using Mac Mini as Print Server

Hi all,
Mac Pro is wired to my network, Mac Mini is Airport connected.
I'd like to use Mac Mini as a Print Server without keyboard and mouse. I've installed OSXvnc-server on Mac Mini and Chicken of the VNC (CVNC) Client on Mac Pro.
Mac Pro's keyboard is azerty as was Mac Mini, it's impossible to loggin with Chicken of the VNC, password is not accepted, I connect an azerty keyboard to Mac Mini and I can loggin.
Typing on Mac Pro in Mac Mini TextEdit through CVNC give weird keyboard layout, not only azerty qwerty different layout.
In between my two Mac Mini there wasn't any problem using CVNC and the same server but Azerty Qwerty layout.
Is there any other solution to use Mac Mini as a print server ? What about using Desktop remote connection ?
Thanks,
Peloche,

Ah… right! That explains it.
So what model printers are they?
Ned,
Printers are HP Color LaserJet 2550L, HP Photosmart 8250 and Epson EPL-5900L.
I've changed the VNC Client from "Chicken of the VNC" to "VNCThing".
Now I can log in from Mac Pro using its Azerty Keyboard as Qwerty Keyboard.
Once logged in I've set Mac Mini Keyboard to "Extended (or Expanded ?) American" keyboard within System Preferences, with this option Mac Mini see the Mac Pro Keyboard as an Azerty layout...
I've connected two printers through USB2 Hub connected to Mac Mini and the third one direct onto Mac Mini USB port.
Back to Mac Pro "System Preferences Fax & Printers", "+", immediatly the 3 printers have been proposed, I've selected them and tested all: it works perfectly.
Mac Mini is set to "restart after power cut" and is connected for power onto a remoted control power distribution sockets, that means Mac Mini is starting and stopped when printers are powered on and off.
The sole small issue is that I can't find how to display Mac Mini GUI on Mac Pro at a better resolution than 1024 x 768.
Thanks for your time,
Peloche,
