Unexpected Command and Fonts

Okay, so our graphic artist has created files using FreeHand
11.02 on a Mac. I am attempting to open them, using FreeHand MX
11.02 on a PC. When I attempt to open any file with text in it, the
document refuses to open and gives me the error message "unexpected
command encountered". After talking to Macromedia support, they
tell me this is because I don't have the fonts the document was
originally created with (which is true.) My graphic artist says
that if he embeds the fonts, the text won't be editable. Do I need
to go and purchase all of these fonts in order to be able to work
on the documents?
Thanks!
janL

Have them select a generic font, say Arial, just for giggles.
You edit.
Return file to them, they re-apply the Bojangles Aramond
Fancy font. End of
work.

Help - Font Book and font Library doesn't work

I've just updated to a new iMac on Yosemite, and Font Book doesn't work. Neither does putting fonts into the "Library"
There is a range of fonts that ARE working that are already in either place, but some (that worked up until two days ago in my old Mac running OS 10.6.8) just won't work.
If I select the fonts in Font Book, Font Book doesn't load them. If I put them in the Library, they don't appear for use in any application.
As a designer, updating fonts is essential, and if this can't be fixed I'm in serious trouble! So any advice welcome!

We see posts like this here all the time. A person upgrades to a new OS, and Font Book suddenly stops working. Usually, the problem is that Font Book's database has been trashed by the upgrade with the very common symptoms you're seeing. You suddenly can't add fonts, and fonts Font Book says are open don't appear in some, or any apps.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point. Yosemite is a bit different. Whether it's a Safe Mode boot or a normal one, you get the same progress bar. It just takes longer to get to the desktop in Safe Mode. So hold the Shift key until you get to the desktop.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
If that alone doesn't do it (it should), then clear out all of the font cache data.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current logged in user account. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Problem with In Design CS6 Unexpected Quit and will not re start up, even after computer restart?

In Design CS6 Quit Unexpectedly and will not start back up, even after restarting computer. Tried to do a CS6 re-install. It finished and said ready to use, but still getting same Unexpected Quit and In Design will not work. Did not "Un-install CS6 first" Should I try installing CS6 again, un-installing version on computer first?

Hi Ivesprepress,
You might also try resetting your user preferences
You can delete the replaceable InDesign SaveData and InDesign Defaults files by holding down the following keys while InDesign is launching:
Windows: Shift+Ctrl+Alt
Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command
Taken from: InDesign preferences and support file locations

Something changed on my file and now my vector elements and fonts look pixelated in CS6

Today an illustrator file with vector objects and fonts that I've been working on for days looked pixelated when enlarging at more than 400%. I couldn't find the fix so I started a new canvas, selected everything from my pixelated file, pasted it into a new canvas and everything transferred correctly so I was able to continue working with my vector elements again. I was curious if anyone knows what made my vector elements change to pixels and how to fix it. Thanks guys

You are welcome Miss Modular.
Even on web jobs people do not use that option too often, so really wish they would not assign a keyboard command to that, which is what I suspect happened to you.

PC Suite Image and Font Size

Hi.The control panel for PC Suite is awfully small, and the fonts for the text are even smaller, down to what would be termed in the printer's trade as "granite" size. When I need to Scroll, for example down to my phone carrier to log in, or when I need to read the "Help" manual, I cant see what I need to read because the print is so ridiculously minisucule. Will the Adminstrato4rs of Nokia/PC Suite please enlarge the command windows and fonts to a usefull and viisible size ?? Thanks. Ringmeup2Scotty.

hi mate,
Nokia PC Suite development has stopped and the product is no longer actively supported. suggest migrating/using Nokia Suite instead, of which the latest version is available for download from http://nokia.com/nokiasuite
As for the suggestion, you can leave such suggestions over at Nkoia BetaLabs under the Nokia Suite application page: http://betalabs.nokia.com

Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

ITunes 9.1.1 - "Encountered an unexpected error and has to close"

Hi I downloaded the latest iTunes upgrade and ever since I've been having problems.
iTunes will be fine until I sync my brand new iPod Nano and then I get a Windows message saying "iTunes has encountered an unexpected error and has to close". Then everytime after that, whether the iPod is plugged in or not, I get the same message.
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve it?

Sorry about the continued questions (this one is a bit odd).
Then after that, as soon as I click the iTunes icon, I get that message, regardless of whether the iPod's plugged in or not.
In some ways, the oddest thing is that you can get iTunes launching again after the issue starts happening.
Does the error when trying to launch go away after you restart the PC? Or do you have to do something different?
If it's clearing up after a restart, could you check something for me?
Provoke the nano-plugging-in error. Don't try to open iTunes again just at the moment.
Now bring up your Task Manager. Go into the processes tab. Click the "Image name" header to sort the processes alphabetically. Even though you've had that error message, is there still an iTunes.exe process listed in that tab?
If so, right-click on the process and select "end process". Does Windows let you end the process? If it does, can you launch iTunes again without the error?
(Trying to work out here if you're getting an an unusual variation of problems associated with security software interference with syncing, or possibly an idiosyncratic sort of iTunes preference files issue. Both can sometimes be associated with "unknown module" crashes, although I tend to expect something more like an iTunes.dll to be cited as the faulting module if that's afoot.)

I just downloaded and instaled firefox 4. Now, everytime I institute a command I get a po[p-up from Java script that tells me to uninstal set. I cannot go on untin I press ok and then I am good for one more command and it starts with the pop-up again.

I'm not even sure if this is an extension or plug-in and all I can tell you is what I have already stated. I can only make one command at a time and after each one I get a pop-up from Java script that says uninstal set. I must depress ok to move on, but only for one more command and it starts over again. This also happened when I tried to instal firefox 4 a couple months ago and I deleted the program and went back to an earlier version.

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

How to put echo command and other command in same line in Terminal

Hello everyone. I use GeekTool (v3.0.1) and was wondering if I could put an "echo" command and another command in a shell script such that the output would be 1 line only instead of 2 lines for the 2 commands. How do I do that?

This is why I think iTunes, in its present form, is completely unsuited for cataloging eBooks. However you can do what you want to do with the existing tags. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a screen cap for you to illustrate how:
And the various other sorting options:
Give all that a try and see how it works for you.
