Weird fonts in dialogue boxes

I would be grateful if somebody could tell me why these funky fonts are showing up in my Dreamweaver CC dialogue boxes. I've never seen this before CC and I've been using DW for lots of years It's driving me crazy and I can't imagine that Adobe did this. I think it has something to do with my computer? I'd be very happy if somebody could tell me how to make it stop
Thank you in advance...here is a screen shot of what I'm seeing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18843334/funkytype.png

Star Trek LOL...it DOES look like a Star Trek font. I have no idea why that font would have been on here but I'm sad to say that I've not done any font maintence in like 7 years! I went through all the fonts and never located that font so I couldn't delete it. I sure would have though because I really don't like that font. I will try rebooting my system beause I don't think I've done that since I installed CC...maybe it will sort itself out since I did go in and clean up my fonts and resolve duplicates, etc... Maybe that will fix it after a reboot. Puzzling that I couldn't find that font though
Update: I could not find the font in the Font Book HOWEVER I did find it in Suitcase Fusion and it was called "Battlefield". I deleted it and that did indeed fix the problem

Has anyone experienced text going missing after using Change All in the Find Font dialogue box?

I manage an artwork production studio and two members of staff have separately reported that when using the Change All command to substitute fonts in InDesign's Find Font dialogue box, some text disappears from their documents. All affected text is originally set in the same font, and most of the conversion is fine but a few instances of text are actually removed (not reflowed). In the latest reported case, only four or five instances of text were 'deleted' across two pages of a 20pp document.
I've found a link that refers to the same issue but it's unresolved (http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/Thread/index.lasso?20041#last)
I haven't been able to replicate this behaviour but would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced it and if so, under what circumstances it can occur, and what work-rounds or fixes are available.
Applies to InDesign CS3 and CS4, have not tested with CS5 because we haven't upgraded yet.

Joel, I am having the same problem you described. I have read of similar posts on PrintPlanet.com. Someone there thought it was a different text engine or something in CS4 which may be causing the problem.
I don't know what causes this but I believe it can be traced to a previously created file in CS3 is saved as a CS4 document.
The fonts associated with this problem for me are always Gill Sans, Palatino and some form of Helvetica. There may be others but these are the ones we notice the most.
Today I worked on an InDesign CS4 file. When I opened it I was given a missing font warning. I went to Find Font and it was different typefaces of Gill Sans that was missing. When I changed the missing font to Gill Sans Regular entire lines of text disappeared. I closed the document without saving it and reopened it. I did the same thing in replacing fonts. This time no text disappeared. Not reflowed; not white; not hidden—gone.
This is what I have been seeing for the past few months. The disappearing text is random and cannot be duplicated, though fonts may disappear in some other place. You never know where text will just disappear.
The workaround I have found is to export your file to an INX document and reopen it in CS3. You have to replace all missing text before saving it as INX, though. To my knowledge CS3 has never had this happen.
The workaround, though it works for me, is annoying. I'd like to know what to do to resolve this issue. What's the use in having CS4 if you can't trust it completely.
I use a Mac running 10.6.3. I also have running Suitcase Fusion 2.

Very weird dialogue box problem

I have been running a 24" IMAC since summer without any problems. We use an older MAC for a server in our office. A couple of days abo my save as and open dialogue boxes developed this weird problem. When I double click on a folder on our server the other folders and files within that folder appear under the original, as if you had turned one of those arrows around only there are no arrows. This is only happening on one hard drive but all programs. It is also only affecting the IMAC other (laptop and G5 etc.) are working fine.
I reintalled OS tiger yesterday but it did not solve the problem and now several of my other programs won't work. I can reinstall them as well but I still need to solve this problem.
I was wondering if deleting preference files would help. I am afraid to try this because I don't know much about it and don't want to make the situation worse.
Any help would be appreciated.

VIDEO: Weird blinking on "Save As..." dialogue box - how to stop?

I captured a video of my issue; please view it at http://youtu.be/WcCzcvNs0NY to really understand what is happening
Whenever I attempt to save a Word or Excel file (the 2 apps I've noticed the issue with the most), I always have this weird blinking in the Save As dialogue box. In addition, the entire Save process is painfully slow - whether I'm selecting the Save To folder, or creating a new folder, or renaming the file I am saving.
What gives? I have the most updated version of Office so I can't think what the issue is. I should mention - this problem started after I "upgraded" to Yosemite

Hey Thanks, Seeren....nothing more than one big duh....but I didn't know....and clearing out the tracks still hasn't made my macbook pro run faster!
Thanks, again

How do I stop a weird dialogue box from popping up whenever there is a youtube video embedded on a page?

Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I keep getting a dialogue box that asks me to choose an application or search the app store for some purportedly missing app to open whatever video is embedded on that page. I can just click "cancel" to skip through it, but it really slows me down and is annoyingly unnecessary since videos continue to play in a normal fashion when I click on them. I've tried uninstalling and trashing the components of Flash, but the dialogue boxes continue. And I've also tried downloading and installing the latest version of Flash to see if that was the problem, but no success. Anybody else experiencing this? Clearly this was introduced by the latest OS X software upgrade, because this did not occur before that.

I don't understand why I (not a power user) should have to go through this whole rigamarole since Apple is apparently the culprit in introducing this problem to my system, due to the upgrade to 10.10.3, but here it is:
Problem description:
Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I’m getting pop-up dialogue boxes on pages with embedded videos telling me that the app I need to view the video is missing and that I should search the MacApp store to find what I need (which is actually nothing at all). I have to click cancel to continue and the videos can be viewed as normally. This only started with the latest Mac version of OS X, and I blame the problem on Apple, which has apparently introduced some error into my system.

Weird (old) camera raw dialogue box when opening .RAW files

Hi guys,
I am getting a strange dialogue box (attached image) when I open my RAW files.
These RAW files are produced by a Fuji SP-3000 scanner.
If I scan one negative, two files are produced — a RAW file and a .LI file (image also attached).
When I punch in some pixels into the dialogue box, the image then opens and is just a blurred mess of pixels (actually, the patterns are kinda cool) but they're not the image I'm after.
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this dialogue box and possibly how to solve it and get an actual image.
One of the main problems I think I have is that I don't actually know the pixel dimensions of the image to begin with, so I am stabbing in the dark when I punch in pixel values.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

See here, for instance:
Photoshop Raw format
Photoshop Raw format
The Photoshop Raw format is a flexible file format for transferring images between applications and computer platforms. This format supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images with alpha channels, and multichannel and Lab images without alpha channels. Documents saved in the Photoshop Raw format can be of any pixel or file size, but they cannot contain layers.
The Photoshop Raw format consists of a stream of bytes describing the color information in the image. Each pixel is described in binary format, with 0 representing black and 255 white (for images with 16‑bit channels, the white value is 65535). Photoshop designates the number of channels needed to describe the image, plus any additional channels in the image. You can specify the file extension (Windows), file type (Mac OS), file creator (Mac OS), and header information.
In Mac OS, the file type is generally a four-character ID that identifies the file—for example, TEXT identifies the file as an ASCII text file. The file creator is also generally a four-character ID. Most Mac OS applications have a unique file creator ID that is registered with the Apple Computer Developer Services group.
The Header parameter specifies how many bytes of information appear in the file before actual image information begins. This value determines the number of zeroes inserted at the beginning of the file as placeholders. By default, there is no header (header size = 0). You can enter a header when you open the file in Raw format. You can also save the file without a header and then use a file-editing program, such as HEdit (Windows) or Norton Utilities® (Mac OS), to replace the zeroes with header information.
You can save the image in an interleaved or non-interleaved format. If you choose interleaved, the color values (red, green, and blue, for example) are stored sequentially. Your choice depends on requirements of the application that will open the file.
Note: A Photoshop Raw image is not in the same file format as a camera raw image file from a digital camera. A camera raw image file is in a camera-specific proprietary format that is essentially a “digital negative,” with no filtering, white balance adjustments, or other in-camera processing.

Langauge in dialogue boxes

Here's a weird one. If I try to order a book in aperture the dialogue boxes come up in a language that looks like Danish to me.. An example
"Du skrive din Apple-id og adgangskode....."
Any clues as to how to fix this?

Got the right file this time but there was no change after the re-start.
It is something to do with the system but its really odd. If for example I open Safari the address bar shows http://www.yahoo.com in English. But in Firefox it is in an Asain looking font.
However, if I copy and paste what I see in Firefox into Word or Safari it appears in English.
But if I do the same in AppleWorks then it pastes in the Asian looking font. I'm totally perplexed.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate you giving me your time.

Authentication dialogue box not displaying properly in 10.6.5

I've updated to 10.6.5 last night. Everything seems to work just fine except for the authentication dialogue box. All letters turn out to be capital A's in boxes. Authentication itself still works, but the improper displaying of characters just bugs me. Does anyone have that problem? Thanks guys!

Wow thanks! It wasn't a 10.6.5 bug after all. I downloaded a Leopard UI set, and thought it would be nice to include the Lucida fonts in my OS. I didn't see the fonts in the fonts folder, but it turned out that they were there and I just duplicated them. Thanks

Strange boxes instead of type in dialogue boxes...

I don't know what changed, but recently, when OS X asks me for my admin password, I get a regular dialogue box, but all the type is in some strange font. Instead of letters, everything is the same black outlined box with an "A" in it. It looks like the same problem I have with Chrome but I can't seem to find what's wrong. More than likely it's a font problem, but how do I fix it?

That didn't seem to do it after all and now there's another creep of this font problem acting up (I have an image from my dropbox):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/421186/mailapp.png
The thing is that I haven't overwritten any system fonts, and I don't think that anything is conflicting, but I don't know how to tell.
I've purged all the font caches, reimported my fonts, done the safe boot -reboot, and even did applejack, but it just doesn't seem to go away.
Now that I think about it, this has happened in the past a few times, and I almost always wipe and reinstall the OS.
I just wish there was something that could take a look and tell me where there are problems like Norton used to so that I'm not using my billable hours trying to fix this.

How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

Print dialogue box is whacked. Can't find a solution

I have been having this problem for some time and just working around it as best I can but this is really a problem for me. I have uninstalled-restarted the computer and reinstalled Reader 11.0.06 from adobe.com and still not fixing the problem.
When I open a pdf and click on print, the print dialogue box is unreadable. I am trying to include a screen shot of the problem. When I print other type of documents I don't have this issue. ONLY PDF's. And as seen in the attachments below some PDF's print box opens up differently than other PDF's. Very weird and frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks
I am using windows 7 pc

I guess I must have stumped the Adobe world???

No search results from "Open" dialogue box

In Mavericks OS 10.9.4, I get no search results when searching from an open dialogue box, i.e. open file from within Photoshop or some other program. Searching from within Finder works fine. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?
Mac Pro 2014
Mavericks OS 10.9.4

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe modeand log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Why is my photo downloader dialogue box pixelated?

I have noticed recently that when I take images off a CF or SD card and use Bridge. The photo downloader dialogue box is not very high quality. The text is pixelated and the over all graphic isn't very high quality. I seem to only notice in this section of Bridge. I am working on a retina display mac book pro so it just seems weird when I open that dialogue box it is not very high quality. Is there something wrong or is this normal and the way it is supposed to be?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).

"Color Matching" option in print dialogue box...

Hello,
I've upgraded to 10.5 (printing from latest Adobe CS3 Photoshop and InDesign) to an Epson R2400 (with the latest 10.5 drivers from Epson). I let Photoshop/InDesign handle color management (rather than the printer).
Once I hit "print" from the application I'm sent to the OS X print dialogue box. From here I select my Epson settings as I always have (including turning off Epson Color Management) but now, within 10.5, there's a new OS X specific printing option listed as "Color Matching". When I select this I'm giving the options for "ColorSync" (from which I can then choose "automatic" or choose a specific printing profile — though, when I try to select one, I always get a warning saying I'll get undesirable results, and it only goes away when I select "automatic") or "Epson Color Management" (or something like that).
I do not have an option to turn these "off", I have to select one or the other.
Now, what exactly is going on here?
Which do I want to select?
I assume I would leave it to "ColorSync" since I know I don't want the printer to manage the color, but I'm just confused as to what these settings do since I'm supposed to be managing the color via Photoshop.
Can anyone shed some light onto this new option under 10.5?
Thanks!
Kristin.

Yes, very strange. If you see a few posts up I actually did get it to work the way I need it to. I called Epson and they had ne reset the printer settings through the system preferences. On my first try this did NOT work, however everything worked as it should in Preview (another image program) and since it did work there the Epson tech basically siad then it's not their problem - most likely adobe.
However just for the hell of it after I hung up, I tried resetting the printer settings again and sure enough it worked. I was able to change the color settings while using Photoshop to manage colors - namely I needed to print a B&W through the Advanced B&W setting. When they are grayed out I can't do this. But even while doing color I don't like that it's grayed out. I've been printing both color and B&W for the last 5-7 years with photosjop manageing colors. I know about double profiling and how to avoid it.
If this was by design from adobe, it deosn't make sense that I was able to access it a few weeks ago after resetting the printer settings. And if this was the case when did Adobe supposedly make the change?
I don't know what's different now, the only thing I can figure is that I had this issue sometime after I installed the lastest Epson print driver - hence the call to Epson... Maybe it's snow leopard weirdness, but I had snow leopard on my laptop and was always able to print sucessfully, but have not tried it since I got the new Mac Pro.
And the strange thing it works fine on other programs. I can have photoshop manage colors and they are not grayed out. Strange and frustrating. Time to set up the DR.
I guess I shoud uninstall PS and then try re-installing it.
thanks...

How to Resize Dialogue Boxes that do not have Resize Controls

Windows CS3 5.0.3
Is there a way to increase the default size of a dialogue box that does not have re-sizing controls? Specifically the "New Page Reference" box for building an Index. The Index is becoming a little large and I'm having to do a lot of scrolling through the alpha list.

Well, there is the dreaded (for programmers) DPI Setting in your monitor settings. It attempts to re-size dialogs, to cater for larger or smaller fonts (and the reason it is feared by programmers is that it may fail spectacularly). It may or may not influence the size of Windows dialogs in InDesign.
But that really doesn't matter. If the dialog
i does
get drawn larger, that will be because the texts in it are larger. You will not suddenly have more items visible -- it's a different kind of "resize".
