Transferring/Recovering Fonts

We recently had the machine that our graphic designer uses fail, and we are recovering his settings from it.
What we want to know is how can we recover and transfer his installed fonts from one machine to the next? Where are they installed?
Its on a Windows 7 machine running CS5

In general, fonts in Windows are installed in the Windows\Fonts folder.
They can also be installed in other locations, both within folders named Document Fonts under specific jobs, and also in another folder altogether if you are using a font manager.
You can do a search for more modern fonts by a wildcard search, such as *.otf or *.ttf. As well, if you are using type 1 postscript fonts, there will be fonts with the extensions of pfm, pfb etc.

HT2509 Can I recover fonts, such as Book Antiqua, that existed in previous versions of OSX, which have disappeared since a re-install

Can I recover fonts, Book Antiqua for example, from an earlier OSX that doesn't seem to be supported by Mountain Lion, since I did a clean re-install

You'd have to retrieve it from a backup, or reinstall apps which will put it back on the drive. OS X did not supply any version of Book Antiqua. Oddly, OS 9 did.
But otherwise, Book Antiqua will be installed by MS Office 2008 and 2011.

Transferring recovered 10.3.9 files to new 10.4 install on new harddrive

imac g4 800 15" 60G 10.3.9 hard drive failed so sent to Ontrack for data recovery. now plan to install 10.4.11 on new 250G drive.Old data is on Ontrack provided 250G external hdrive. Best way? A) Can i just install 10.4.11 and then drag whichever files i want across (mainly Office v.X files of 5G (and ifotos 40G). should i partition drive first for back ups/fotos. Advice please.

If I'm right the basics are you have two 250GB drives, one in your computer and essentially empty except for Tiger, and a second drive with your old files.
I would put the second drive in an external Firewire enclosure so in future it could act as a backup drive and hopefully you would not need to use Ontrack again when (not if) your internal drive has problems. Once the drive is in an enclosure you can drag your data files across to your new internal drive. When you are sure everything is across and working you can then clone the entire internal drive to the external and do that as your first complete backup.
Get a Firewire enclosure, not USB. Firewire enclosures can be used to boot your computer. A place to start looking is www.macsales.com, but other places have them too.
I would not partition your drives. It sounds like they are the same size and this is the easiest thing when using one as a backup for another. If you do decide to partition for some reason (such as requiring multiple OS versions) then make sure your backup has partitions that match the partitions on the original.
It would help to know more about your exact model computer. If it is a tower model then one alternative to getting an external enclosure would be to put the second drive in the computer along with the first (I have two in mine). This isn't the ideal situation as far as backup drives go. It will make it easy to backup to the second drive. If the first drive gets a corrupt directory or fails mechanically you will have the second right there from which to boot. However, sometimes drive failure is due to a lost computer (stolen, fire, whatever) in which case your backup is gone too. In a few cases you can get a hardware failure that will corrupt all drives attached to the computer, again resulting in loss of your backup too. For me I am not totally happy with a backup unless I have it physically isolated from my computer (sometimes I keep it at another location).
Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

Captivate 8 not transfering fonts from PowerPoint?

I am using Captivate 8. I created a PPT presentation using Bank Gothic BT Medium font. The first time I created a PowerPoint project in Cap8, everything transfered perfectly.
I made some updates to the PPT file, then updated the file within Cap8, and the font changed to something like Arial. No matter what I do, I cannot get the font to update to the correct font, even though it originally transfered over.
To experiment, I made ANOTHER PPT presentation using the same font, and started ANOTHER Cap 8 project, this time from within the program (started Blank project, then inserted PPT presentation). This time the font didn't transfer at all.
Is this a bug issue with Cap 8 not recognizing the font, or is this a PPT issue not transfering the font information from the master slide?

Answering my own question:
My solution was so simple I am embarassed to relate it: I closed Captivate and reopened the program, and now my fonts transfer over. It seems.. (eh hem)... *someone* forgot that when you download and install a new font, you have to close and reopen any program you have open where you will be working with fonts. In this case, I had both PowerPoint and Captivate open however, I opened PowerPoint AFTER I installed the font. So, yeah. One solution. If you are experiencing this font issue, try closing and reopening your project. SAVE FIRST THOUGH!

Font Book disables fonts every time I restart my computer

First, some info on my computer:
- OS X 10.9.3
- Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 version 7.5
- Office 2011 14.4.3
- Suitcase Fusion 5 16.2.0
As a graphic designer, I've accumulated thousands of fonts. In an attempt to clean this up, I recently purchased Suitcase Fusion 5. I transferred the fonts by going into Font Book and selecting "Restore Standard Fonts." I then took the Macintosh HD; Library; "Fonts (Removed)" folder and added those to Suitcase Fusion 5.
Then I went back, and added about five of the removed fonts back into Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts — just because they are fonts I use frequently — as well as the Microsoft folder of fonts.
Now, for some reason, every time I start my computer (I shut down every night before leaving my office) about half of the Microsoft fonts are disabled by font book. The next day I enable them and everything works well and they all show up in both my Adobe and Office programs, but I'd really rather not play that game every morning. Again, almost all of the fonts being disabled are in the Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts; Microsoft folder, but only until the Ms or so, after which point they all show up as enabled and work just fine. And then there are a couple of outliers I've marked with an asterisk, that are just in the typical Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts folder that are also being disabled, the most confusing one being ThirstyRoughTextures.ttf, because the rest of the Thirsty Rough family is working just fine. (This single Thirsty Rough file is the only of the five-or-so fonts that I added back into my library after restoring it to standard fonts that is acting up. The others show up in all programs just fine.)
Anyhow, does anyone know why this might be happening, or how to resolve the issue? Any input would be great, thanks!

I'm fed up with Font Book and ready to remove it.
Just to keep it easily handy, put the Font Book app on an external drive. All other supporting system files for it will still be on the drive, so using it again rather than a third party font manager is as simple as copying FB back into the Applications folder.
It is essential after deleting Font Book to follow the steps in my article to remove the abandoned Font Book database. Even with the main Font Book app removed from the drive, if the database exists, OS X will keep trying to read and use it, and it will interfere with all other font managers.
which seemingly only activates fonts once I open up that extension
Those are extension panels Suitcase adds to apps they've written them for so you don't have to go to the main interface in order to turn fonts on or off. It's a convenience thing to speed up access to your font sets.
what will happen to programs like Microsoft Office that aren't compatible with Fusion?
If you use a panel in the Adobe apps to turn any fonts on or off, all apps system wide will see the changes in available fonts since that's how it works with any manager. Or, you can launch the main Suitcase interface to do the same thing.
MS Office has an annoying quirk I haven't seen with any other app. It will not pay attention to any fonts you've activated or deactivated after Word has been launched. That's not a Suitcase issue, it's any font manager. Office simply does not keep tabs on available fonts while in use. To see fonts you've activated after Word is already running, you have to quit Word and relaunch it. Same with turning fonts off. Doesn't matter that they're not available any more. If they were when you launched Word, they'll continue to show in the list. Attempting to use one of course doesn't work. It types in Arial, or something, but not what you chose since it can't.
Is FontBook irrelevant and Office/any other program still just utilizes the actual HD/Library/Fonts folder without it?
When font management is working as it supposed to, all apps (save Office) will change the list of fonts you can use as you turn them on or off. It used to be, way back in Tiger, 10.4 (before 10.4.3) and earlier that any fonts in the System or main Library folder were available all the time with no way to control them, other than physically deleting fonts from those folders. This is still true of the System's Fonts folder.

Help please with Setting up Fonts

Hello, thanks in advance.
By day I work at a studio on an Apple Mac, using InDesign.
By evening I work at home on my Windows 8 PC, using InDesign with the Creative Cloud.
Therefore I'm having difficulties with the transferring of fonts.
Specifically, I have two problems and hoping someone may be able to kindly help on here...
Taking one example, font Gotham.
- I have been able to transfer this font to my Window 8 PC. I have installed all Gotham styles (16 of them - eg Bold, Bold Italic, Regular, Book etc) onto my PC, using the inbuilt Windows 'Font' window in the Control Panel.
- Early indications are good - when I load up InDesign, I can see all 16 of these fonts and can select and use them.
- But I have two subsequent issues
1) The 16 fonts show up as roughly 8 separate Fonts, each with only 1 or 2 styles. At the Studio, in InDesign, I just select 'Gotham', and then there are 16 sub-fonts (styles?) to choose from. On my PC, there are 8 separate fonts, despite all being grouped together as one 'Family' in the Font window on my Control Panel. Is there a way that these fonts can be grouped together on InDesign? Otherwise it's a real pain to use!
2) More importantly, I package my work on the Apple computer, save and take home. When I reload at home it says that it cannot find the 'Gotham' fonts, despite the fact that InDesign shows them! Therefore all fonts convert to the default.
Is anyone aware of these issues and able to help?
Many thanks in advance, greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon

When you see fonts on PC with 0 bytes it usually indicates that they are Mac format Type1 or TrueType fonts, and they are not usable on the PC. I've been doing some reading, and you might want to as well, at http://www.typography.com/ask/faq.php (particularly item 32), which explains at least partially why you are seeing different names and groupings across platforms. You may see this even with an OpenType version of the font. You should also read the EULA (http://www.typography.com/home/eula.php). Based on the EULA I would not choose Gotham for any work that was going to be distributed electronically.

OT: .ttc to .ttf conversion

I use Font Agent Pro (FAP) which currently does not support .ttc fonts.
I've tried a couple of free online font converters (eg: http://www.fontconverter.org/) to convert .ttc fonts to .ttf or .otf, but they only convert the first instance of the font (i.e. regular), and not the entire collection (i.e. regular, italic, bold, etc). Does anyone know of a conversion tool that will easily convert an entire .ttc font (True Type Collection) to the .ttf format? I want something simple, I don't want to have to work in code or Pearl.
thanks

Be advised that the "service" offered at the URL specified violates most font licenses in either one or two ways.
(1)     Many font licenses specifically prohibit conversions of any form such as from TrueType to Type 1, Type 1 to TrueType, whatever to OTF, TTC to component TTF, etc.
(2)     This online converter requires uploading a file to a third party. Virtually no font licences allow such transfers of fonts to third parties unless the third party has their own license for the font(s) in question.
Also note that the online "service" pointed to also claims to support extraction of fonts from PDF files. Note that such extraction and use is not only against most font licenses, but also yields incomplete and effectively useless font files. The font data embedded in a PDF file (or for that matter in EPS or PostScript) is not the full font file. Obviously an embedded subset has the problem of missing glyphs and most fonts embedded in PDF (or EPS or PostScript) files are small subsets of the fonts' original complement of glyphs. But in addition, a significant amount of font metric information association with pair kerning, bounding boxes, etc. is not embedded and therefore is missing in any extraction.

Creative zen vision M:3 WISH

HI ALL,??I purchased a creative zen vision m a few days ago and i have played around with it to my heart's content.i just needed to air a few points i've discovered so far.VIDEO PLAYBACK:I tried transferring a variety of video formats to the player.some formats will transfer without the need to convert,some require conversion and some the creative software woudn't even convert even with directshown filters installed in the pc.listed below are the varoius formats i tried and the results?avii tried varoius avi formats but only divx and xvid encoded files played successfully which i didn't mind since most downloaded internet video is in these formats anyway.divx/xvid with .avi file extension at various resolutions -plays perfectly but to play full screen nati'vely its better the video was encoded at 320x240 or 640x480.anything else will have varying sizes of black bars on the screen but video with 624x352 widescreen?can be set to fill the screen with no noticable change in quality.i've also encoded at bitrates up to 900kb/s and they played fine.640x480 encoded video looks more crisp on the screen than 320x240 video though.some files with gmc played as well.The only problem is the audio has to be in mp3 format i.e xvid/divx with mp3 audio.Since the player doesn't support ac3 audio any video with ac3. or ogg/ogm in it's container woudn't be transferred and it would ask to convert it before transferring. What i don't like about the?transcoding is the only optuion is wmv9 at 320x240 resolution which from my experience?doesn't give you the best visual ?quality playback?.why should i have to convert a 720x480?or 704x576 video to 320x240 when 480x360 or 640x480 will look far much better on the player. MPEG:I TRIED VARIOUS MPEG FILES AND HERE IS WHAT I DISCOVERED:?MPEG:This player loves mpeg files.mpeg encoded at vcd resolution i.e 320x240 ntsc or 352x288 pal with .5mb/s play perfectly.a lot of music videos downloaded through blogs or p2p or through servers like rapidshare in thjat format play well in full screen.but i think 320x240 is better for the player than 352x288.even a non-standard mpeg file with bitrates up to 2mb/s also play well on the player.they are usally a bit better in quality than the standard ones.files found on a video cd with .dat extension i.e AVSEQ.DAT play perfectly.just copy the file from the vcd straight to the player and thats it.MPEG2:Even though creative states that this format is supported,it didnt transfer the mpeg 2 video files i tried to. The only mpeg 2 file that i was able to transfer to it was encoded with mp3 audio.Now i downloaded this file which was a music video off the net and i've not come across a software that encodes mpeg2 with mp3 yet.Most short video clips in mpeg 2 are in svcd format with mp2 audio and video with .m2v extension which is quite common as well.these woudn't ghet transferred to the player insisting on converting.converting a mpeg2 file at 480x576 or 480x480 resolution to 320x240 resolution just isn't really cool when the player can handle those resolutions in other formats.too much quality gets lost in the process and you only get an half decent wmv9 video with a low resolution.Sadly the player will only play wmv9 encoded at 320x240 resolution so it's not anoption for me.i much rathetr use third party software video encoder like the tmpgenc xpress or mpeg4 directmaker with the latter being good for converting dvd video files to avi with the subtitles embedded in the video.
The video playback quality is good and is better than the ipod playback quality.i will say only h264 encoded video on the ipod at high quality and high resolution is comparable.the inability to create video playlists and not being able to playback videos in sequence is one let down of the vision m.i have as much as 20 encoded music videos in the player and it would have been nice to just have the videos playback in any sequence you want them instead of going back to the the selection screen after each one. I rest my case here for now.creative please look into these issues and you will be doing much more justice to this brilliant product. ??

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

HELP please! my macbook keeps lagging after i transferred fonts into my comp.

i got my macbook about 2 weeks ago and recently i transferred fonts into my mac and after that when i would use InDesign, it would take forever to open up like 1 min + and when i would go and change fonts or scroll through fonts it would lag. the rainbow thing would spin for a long time.
also in iMessage when i want to change the font, it doesnt change unless i close the program and reopen it compared to when i first got the macbook, it would change right on the spot.
should i take this to apple for them to have a look at it?
also im wondering if this happens to anyone else?but when i have safari on full screen and i go to my top site page, i have to click once before being able to click on any of the grids. is this normal?

I've over 2,200 fonts installed on my 15" late 2011 MBP - while you might have a font problem (some or even one might be damaged or corrupt) I don't think that your problem is with 'too many' fonts. Although I've an SSD and InDesign CS6 opens in seconds, it should load in a matter of seconds on a spinning platter hard drive, too.
Did you install the fonts via Font Book? It will usually let you know if there are problems with any font that you install.
Disable certain fonts that you installed by using FontBook. Then activate them, one set by one set to make sure that they aren't damaged.
Good luck,
Clinton

How to Recover Playlists when Transferring iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer

iTunes library copied to external drive and then loaded to new computer. All songs are there but all of the playlists that I had set up do not appear. I cannot figure out how to retrieve/recover them. The back-up was not done by me so I'm not sure of the steps that were followed. Is there something special that needs to be done when backing up to external drive in terms of saving playlists? Help!

Hello TNCGRCT,
It sounds like the library was successfully transferred to the new computer, but the songs were imported into a new iTunes library. If you still have access to the external drive, or better yet the previous computer, we will want to transfer the iTunesLibrary.itl file and open it with iTunes:

How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all? If so, then they are gone.
IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

How do I recover missing fonts?

I have Appleworks 6 (original disc for SYS 9 + online update for Panther (6.2.9).
Recently I discovered that some of my original fonts are missing, in particular Palantino. How might I go about recovering this font without losing my custom templates, etc.? It does not show up in any of my font libraries, but it DOES show up in Appleworks 6 on my other user's account when Appleworks is launched in his setup, although it does not appear to show up in any of his font libraries either.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
SML in Mpls.
G4 (sawtooth) 400mHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Palatino is a font that has been installed with the Mac OS as far back as I can remember (System 7.0 in 1992). As a matter of fact, I have Palatino in both my OS 9 System Folder/Fonts & HD/Library/Fonts. Font Book in OS X shows both & their locations by "hovering" the cursor on the font name. Is it possible that Palatino is in the other user's Home > Library > Fonts. This would make the font available only to that user.
As far as AppleWorks opening the templates, it will open them, but substitute any missing font.

Dakota Handwriting Font Always Appears In Recovered Items On Login?

I don't know whether this is a Snow Leopard feature but I have only noticed it in recent months.
Every time I switch on my iMac there is a "Recovered Files" folder in the trash which invariably contains just the "Dakota Handwriting" font.
I have never paid much attention but this morning I became curious and opened Font Book to see what "Dakota Handwriting" was like.
To my surprise, it doesn't appear to be anywhere on my computer!
Any ideas or explanations?

Font probs transferring iweb to a new computer?

I transferred my iweb site to a new computer and a lot of the fonts are messed up? (note, I used standard ariel fonts)
I copied over the entire domain folder.
the original site was made on version 1.1.2 and i am now running iweb 2.0.3 could someone tell me if there is something i can do to remedy this as it'll take a long time changing every letter that needs fixed. Thanks - Ricky

Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.
