Useful Feature Removed? Font: Reveal in Explorer

ID CS4 on Windows 7: The button "Reveal in Explorer" in the Find Font dialog no longer reveals the font in Explorer ... Instead it appears to open the home base of the logged-in user, which is a nice guess, but no cigar.
It only fails on system installed fonts -- the ones in the InDesign app folder and in Common Files/Adobe/Fonts are revealed as they used to.
Can anyone confirm this? Is anyone willing to bet against it turning out to be a Windows 7 fault?

Bob's right on, it seems to be broken within CS3 running Vista, opens to my User\Documents folder.

Reveal in explorer JS?

Is it possible to open the current document in windows explorer, using javascript?
Like "Reveal in Explorer" function that is already in photoshop. I tried using the ScriptListener, but nothing about that was written in the txt file... I also can't find anything about it in the documentacions...

Well, it's simple to open the folder it's in, using Folder(activeDocument.path).execute();
But I don't know about selecting the specific file in the folder.

Bridge CS5 freezes when using 'reveal in explorer'

Bridge CS5 freezes when you select a file and try to "reveal in explorer". The command does work, it does reveal the file in explorer but then the bridge window turns white and freezes. It usually doesn't happen in the first time you click 'reveal in explorer', but if you do it enough (3x or more) bridge will freeze eventually.
I'm going back to Bridge CS4.
*I'm using Bridge CS5 on windows 7 Professional 64 bit

This sounds like a memory thing. Check the spare space on the HD (it should never be more than 75% full), defrag the harddrive, clean out your trash bin,check to see if you paging file is installed, and your RAM is working properly.

How to use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps or e.g. Font Explorer X Pro on OS X

How can I use Typekit-Desktop-Fonts in other apps e.g. Pages or Font Explorer X Pro on OS X?

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in Typekit! This help page shows how to select fonts from Typekit for desktop use and sync them to your computer:
http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
Once the fonts have synced to your Creative Cloud account, they will automatically be added to the font menus in all of your desktop applications, including Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
Typekit fonts are not added to your font management software, however; you'll manage these font selections directly from the "synced fonts" page in your Typekit account.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions! You may post them here on the forum or email us directly at [email protected] Best,

Why did Adobe remove a useful feature?

Will someone please tell me why Adobe would remove such a useful feature as the “File>Attach to Email...” from the Link Properties dialogue box under the “Execute a menu item” - “Add” options list. The idea of an improved version, Acrobat X, is to add utility not make it less useful.

Direct access to menu items isn't the preferred method to execute functions available via the JSAPI, you should simply trigger the JS function on a button or link:
this.mailDoc(true);
or if you want to set the message params:
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "recipient @ example.addr",
cCC: "cc @ example.addr",
cSubject: "A PDF file",
cMsg: "here is the PDF."

Audio is blank in Premiere, but when when using "Reveal in Explorer" the Audio is there?

The clips that are in the sequence have blank audio tracks (These sequences were from an imported project, and the audio worked fine there) Even when I load the clips from the project window into the source monitor, they don't have audio (And they are not showing as Offline) but when I use "Reveal in Explorer" to locate the original clip, the audio is on the original clip, so what gives, and how can I get Premiere to "locate" the audio?
I tried Clean the Media Cache Database, but that did not work...
...and it's not all the audio clips, just some of them...
Thanks all!

Thanks Harm...
Reveal in Explorer (or Finder for Mac) comes up when you right click on the item in the Project Window.
I didn't want to have to convert all these files to .wav if I didn't have to. I am wondering what the issue might be so I don't have to add that to my workflow (especially in the future, though I'll probably end up doing it, I would still like to find the problem)
This project comes from an older version of Premiere I had installed, and now I have CS5... Why would it stop recognizing .aif files?
Thanks,
Aza

[svn:fx-trunk] 7467: Removing font face validation so that the requested style is used whether or not it matches what the font describes .

Log Message:
Removing font face validation so that the requested style is used whether or not it matches what the font describes. This allows font families to be constructed from multiple fonts including those that do not describe their style in the OS/2 table. Note SWF and the Flash Player restriction of only support 4 faces per font family (plain, bold, italic, and bold & italic) still applies.
QE: Yes, please look out for negative test cases for embedded font styles that no longer fail. Also look out for minor font outline differences given that we use AFEFontManager by default for DefineFont3 embedded fonts. If you require the legacy font outlines you can configure the test case to use the BatikFontManager (which has been retained for MPL distributions).
Doc: Yes, we'll release note the relaxed font embedding rules for font faces. I'll annotate the bugs below.

i have sorted this out by placing it in the webapps dir of my tomcat. The problem is when i map a servlet in my own web.xml, it stops working. At this time i just want to map 1 servlet called main, and it is in C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\cmt3082\WEB-INF\classes\myProject
cmt3082 is my project folder
WEB-INF holds my web.xml
classes holds my servlet, in this case main.java
myProject holds my Java classes
So i have mapped main like this for now
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    version="2.4">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>main</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>classes.main</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>But with this in place, it gives me the error cannot find requested resource. And i missing somthing in the web.xml?

How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse?

How do I use Edge Web Fonts with Muse - is it an update to load, a stand alone, how does it interface with Muse? I've updated to CC but have no info on this.

Hello,
Is there a reason why you want to use Edge Web Fonts with Adobe Muse?
Assuming you wish to improve typography of your web pages, you should know that Muse is fully integrated with Typekit. This allows you to access and apply over 500 web fonts from within Muse. Here's how you do it:
Select a text component within Muse, and click the Text drop-down.
Select Add Web Fonts option, to pop-open the Add Web Fonts dialog.
Browse and apply fonts per your design needs.
Muse also allows you to create paragraph styles that you can save and apply to chunks of text, a la InDesign. Watch this video for more information: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/using-typekit-with-adobe-muse/
Also take a look at these help files to see if they help you:

Font Book won't remove font files

I've been doing some testing with Font Book in hopes to replace Suitcase for font management. I've been testing on OS X 10.4.5 with Font Book 2.0.2.
I have FB prefs setup with User as the default install location. Getting fonts installed works fine. To simplify for testing I'm just using one source folder with one family of fonts in it. So I drag the source folder into the FB window where I have created a collection called Temp.
The font files are copied into ~/Library/Fonts, just as they should be, and are now available to the system. When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
According to all documentation I've read, that is not the expected behavior. When Remove Fonts is used within FB, the font files should be moved to the trash.
In addition, since the font files are being left in ~/Library/Fonts, if I try to add the same source folder back into FB, nothing happens, they just simply do not load. If I manually remove the lingering fonts from ~/Library/Fonts I am then able to add the source folder again.
So it appears that FB is not functioning as advertised. I've confirmed this on two separate machines running 10.4.5 and also with one running 10.3.9.
Any ideas what's up or am I missing something here?

"When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
Where are you selecting the font, from within the "All Fonts" collection, or within the "Temp" collection? If you've selected it from within your Temp collection, "Remove" only removes the font from the collection, not from your installed fonts. To remove the fonts from your installed fonts, you need to select them from within the All Fonts collection.
I think what you might want to do rather than create a collection is to create an actual "Temporary" font library. In Font Book, select the All Fonts collection so that the focus is in the leftmost column and choose "New Library" from the action menu. Name it "Temporary" (or whatever else you'd like) and then hit enter. Notice it's listed above the dividing line which separates libraries on the top with collections on the bottom. Now, drag your folder of fonts from the Finder onto the "Temporary" library icon in Font Book. NOTE: A reference to the fonts will be added to Font Book; the fonts themselves are not copied but remain where they are in the Finder and are activated or deactivated from there. Now, whether you select the fonts from within the All Fonts library or the Temporary library, the "Remove" command will remove the fonts from Font Book. (Since the fonts remained in their original location, when they're removed from Font Book they're not moved to the Trash; rather, the reference to them is simply removed from Font Book).
Hope this helps....

Is Acrobat Pro required in order to be able to REMOVE fonts?

I need to remove fonts from files I am receiving from clients overseas in order to be able to upload the files to U.S. Patent Office for filing. (The PTO job options file embeds referenced-but-non-embedded fonts, but certain Japanese fonts that are referenced in the source file won't embed, and that is preventing the upload.) I have Acrobat 9, Standard. I was looking at tutorials on-line for guidance as to how to strip such fonts, but don't seem to find the various menu items that are referenced in the tutorials. Do I need Acrobat PRO to do such editing?
Thanks

If possible the task would require use of a Preflight. Preflights are only available with Acrobat Pro.
A quick look through the available Fixups Preflight choices does not show a "remove fonts".
A note re: embedding fonts.
Acrobat Pro (starting with Acrobat Pro 9.x) provides a Fixup to "Embed Fonts" and a "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)".
As with any routine processes an existing PDF to embed fonts the following applies (text is that present with the "Embed fonts" Fixup):
"If a PDF uses fonts which are not embedded into the PDF file they are embedded as subsets using this fixup.
It is required that the respective fonts are available to the OS, either in the system folder or activated via a font manager.
Some fonts may have a flag that their license does not allow embedding. In this case the fonts are not embedded into the PDF."
If you had Acrobat Pro and the Japanese fonts installed on your local machine you could embed them (provided the font license permits this).
Alternatively, you client could use process the content into PDF such that the PDF had all fonts embedded and then sent that PDF to you.
Or, the client uses the Acrobat Pro Preflight Fixup to embed the Japanese fonts in issue (this presumes the fonts are installed and available on their local machine).
Be well...

Your site was built using tables, whose sizes are defined in your site.
If we look at your first table definition, we can see:
<table width="861" height="1449" border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#868787">
Your table has a width of 861 pixels and an overall height of 1449 pixels. Anything you put into that overall box must fit those dimensions, else
it won't be visible. Anything you add above it will push everything down. You can redefine your sizing to let you edit more inside of the table elements.
This is why, when you type in more text, things act weird. If you are in Dreamweaver, you must find the right cell to put your text into and then enter
text there. Unfortunately, this is going to push things around, which were all lined up using tables. And this gets everything offset with respect to
everything else in your website.
And that is why everyone is saying, "Start Over!"
I just inherited a website that has been put together using tables. I'm going to have to expend considerable effort in rewriting the entire design of the
website because of that. because everything I intend to add to the pages on the site is going to need to be deconstructed in order to get it to work
properly if I'm adding text and pictures that need to line up with each other.
You need something done quick and dirty and the only way I can recommend you do that is to use Dreamweaver to show you the tables you have
and put what you need in a new table that is defined above or below the tables you all ready have defined. Do that and then get back to someone here
who knows how to make a website correctly to clean up your entire website and make it editable -- which will cost you some money, but it will be
money well-spent.
I like to quote this maxim: Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two. This works for website design. You can get it fast and cheap, but it won't be good. I
think you may have chosen that route.

FontBook corrupted ? adding back Fonts (Removed), Fonts Disabled

Hi everyone,
similar to many other people i got some of my fonts screw up after MS Office installation.
I tried to restore default fonts in FontBook, but it claimed that some fonts are missing.
There are no fonts in my ~/Library folders: Fonts, Fonts (Removed), Fonts Disabled.
However, there some in /Library: Fonts (Removed), Fonts Disabled which I would like to bring back.
So the question is - how to do it?
In /Library/Fonts Disabled i see Arial, Timew New Roman, Verdana, Wingdings. I guess all of them were disabled by MS installation
and then replaced by MS versions.
My FontBook however does not show me those (e.g. I see no Times New Roman at all, so I can't re-enable it).
I suppose FontBook database is corrupted, so I should restart with Shift in safe mode and then FontBook should be fine, right?
What do I do with /Library/Fonts (Removed) to bring in back in a propper way? Will FontBook also be able to see those and propose their restoration?
I would appreciate if someone could say with confidence what to do step by step to add Fonts (Removed) and Fonts Disabled back in use. I don't have a TimeMachine running (yet, plan to do it soon), and I use Mac for work, so i would prefare to minimize risks of messing the whole thing up myself
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Denis.

My 2¢
Goto Versiontracker.com and download "Linotype FontExplorer X"
Move your Font Book preferences from your (Library/Preferences) folder and then make an archive of Font Book (Control-click, create archive in the Finder)
Delete the original.
Now, install/launch FontExplorer X.
There is an option to clean font caches during install - do that and your Mac will reboot.
Now, there is an option under the tools menu in FontExplorer X that sets your system font folders back to defaults - do that.
You should be good to go. FontExplorer X is free and an excellent font manager.
If you have any questions, post back.

I have a new ipad mini purchased in Dec 2013. I can not Picture Frame app to display my photos when the ipad screen is locked. was this feature removed? if not, how do I turn it on?

I have a new ipad mini purhased in December 2013 for my father. I want play the streamed photos on the ipad when the screen is locked. Similar to what the ipad 2 using Picture Frame. Unfortunately I can not find the picture frame app on this ioad mini. Was this feature removed? If yes, are there alternative options?

I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad. Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

Using a custom font: Not appearing in Adobe
