"this font is not installed"

Frequently I get the msg "quicklookd.app wants to use the font XXXX on the volume YYYY. This font is not installed. Allow quicklookd.app to use this font?"
The font(s) in question is (are) installed in /Library/Fonts/
1) Why does it want to use the font from /Volumes/YYYY?
2) How do I stop this?

Launching MS Office for Mac 2011: "Font is not Installed" errors

Message Microsoft (MSOffice).app wants to use the font "xxx". This font is not installed. Allow Microsoft(whatever).app to use this font? show in finder, don't allow, allow. happens with all Office apps, runs through entire font library.
about 3 months ago this started - not sure what I did to kick it off, but now whenever I try to use a Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 app it runs through the series of fonts and asks me to do something. I can go through one at a time and select 'don't ask me again' and 'allow' or 'don't allow' but I'd rather figure out (and solve) the problem. Any ideas?

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Are you referring to an icon that looks like a monitor and has the word exec in green on it? If so, that's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this file is".
I'm guessing you're trying to use an incompete Type 1 PostScript font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Iweb says font in not installed.

I have a serious problem with iWeb. One of the sites I have made (and which runs for a few years now) uses the Skia font which is installed on my OSX 10.6.8 system. I use it often in all kinds of documents. Today I want to update a few pages in that website, I open up iWeb and get the msg that the Skia regular font is not installed. But it is; like it has always been. No problems in Pages, in Photoshop etc. I turned it on and off in the Fontmanager (not sure if it is called that way in the english version, but I mean the standard fonttool in OSX). The only thing I can think off is that in cleaning my fontlibraries (which I did some time ago) I have thrown away another (double) version of the Skia font and iWeb wants that other version.
I can manually update all the text fields on all of the 50 (or so) pages, but I don't know what fields are in Skia and what in some other font, which means the risk that I mess up the whole site.
Is there a way to solve this problem; some programs give the option to choose an alternative font when a used type is not installed, but I can't find an option like that in iWeb.
Who can help me ?

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
You do know that Skia is not one of the Web Safe Fonts and will look different on computers that do not have that font installed, particularly PCs, right?. It could change the look of the entire page.

SuperFrench is found but this font can not display any text

"SuperFrench" font comes from Autodesk. this fonts's real file name is supef__.ttf
If it is placed in C:\Windows\Fonts folder then it is available for Windows native apps such as MS Excel.
Java GraphicsEnvironment finds "SuperFrench" font

"The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." I get the same error on my iPad.

I upgraded my itunes to 10.6 and now I get the error "The software required for this iPhone is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." I get the same error on my iPad. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Please help!!

Edit: 10.6.3. I have uninstalled using the uninstall programs on itunes and then I downloaded again from the itunes website multiple times. This is not resolving the issue. The phone shows up in My Computer.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message: The software for this iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software. Any ideas?

Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Eventlog Forwarding Issues - Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted.....

Hello all,
OK so I do have Event Forwarding working - but I've noticed that when it's first configured I get messages similar to:
The description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on
the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present
If I alter the subscription (wecutil ss subname /cf:events) the forwarded events are rendered correctly.
However a product we are evaluating (which depends on event forwarding to work) always ends up with a couple of mal-rendered lines - always look something like:
Required Privs: %9
I built a standalone AD domain and joined the same 'problem' clients to this domain and re-configured Event Forwarding - there was no need to change the subscription format type to "events" and the events were forwarded correctly and also
the product we are looking at worked straight away.
It seems that when event forwarding is configured in our live domain (or any of the test labs we have) I always get the attached errors....
I've read a number of blogs that describe the issue and most recommend altering the subscription format - this however does not solve the issue entirely...
Has anyone else seen this issue and maybe found out how to resolve?
Thanks all
Carl

Yes,
I have ACS forwarder and OPSmgr Agent on Event log collector computer.
Event log collector computer shows some of the forwarded events incorrectly like "The
description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found"
When I change regional settings on Collector computer, event log shows all events(also previous) correctly.
Forwarded with ACS and Opsmgr Agent events
from collector computer were saved in DB correctly, even when event log show them incorrectly like "The
description for Event ID 104 from source Microsoft-Windows-Eventlog cannot be found"

Can Custom skin download font if not installed?

Hi
I have an ADF BC application written in JDev 10.1.3. It uses a customer skin so our various customers can implement their own look and feel. One of our customers requested the Futura font which worked fine on my PC because I have the futura font installed but when I deployed it to the custoemr the skin reverted to a different font because Futura was not installed on their PC.
Is it possible to have an ADF page download a font if it cannot find it installed?
I found this html code which is supposed to achieve that
<STYLE TYPE="text-css">
@font-face (
font-family:familyName;
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
src:url("someFont.eot") )
</STYLE>
Is it possible to integrate the above code into an ADF page?
thanks
paul

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
I read the link that Frank posted and read a little bit around the subject of web fonts. It seems that this feature is not widely supported by browsers and indeed I am using FF2 and could not get John's suggestion to work. Our customer uses primarily IE and FF and it seems that this feature is not currently supported by either of those browsers. IE only allows use of the EOT font format and FF3.5 supports web fonts but is still in beta.
It doesn't look like we are going to be able to implement this feature for our customer so I might have to ask them to select a [web safe font|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_safe_fonts]
thanks

Some fonts are not installing

Hey,
I've used the Font Book application to install fonts for a while but I notice that it doesn't install all the fonts I ask it to. These are all in .ttf format. What I find strange is the fact that before I got a new harddrive, the font that isn't installing installed back then and I'm getting it from the same website.
Please could someone help me with this ASAP? I need this font for use with Motion 4.
Cheers
Leon

Here's a new bit of info I have found out about the problem
I notice that the preview image in the List View mode wil only show the proper preview of the fonts that will install whereas the Fonts that won't install will just show the File Type Icon, I've attached some screenshots so it's easy to understand
Cheers
Leon

Font Will Not Install

I work for a catalog company and we use the Adobe CS3 suite. After a machine meltdown I had to reinstall my system OS and Tiger Upgrade. After doing so and running one of my catalog pages in indesign I received a ton of missing font errors. While I was able to go to the archives and load some of these fonts, others that We have used in the past(and they have to be used because they are used for product titles) will not install. I open font book and click on add fonts, but when I navigate to the folder that has the font i need(transfered from a server to my hard drive) that font is ghosted out to where i can not select it. One Example is Eurostile Bold Oblique
thanks
DF

I'm guessing your example of Eurostile Bold Oblique is a printer outline font from a Type 1 PostScript font. If so, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required software.

I tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, following the instructions to the letter. I tried my iPod in my wife's computer, and it works. We both have Windows XP SP3 and iTunes 10.7.0.21.
My iPhone 4 works fine with iTunes. I changed the battery in the ipod.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks.

Did you install iTunes 11.1.4? If so, follow the guidance of tt2 in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24620553#24620553 to clean up a problem with the installation.
