What happened to the original font stacks?

Just looking for the best place to start to define a style using the original default font families. Got thrown off track by another new feature, well, new to me. Before, when you had some text on the page and slected it, then in the properties you selected a new font group, or another property, you were prompted to create a new style. It doesn't seem to do this now, which is OK, but I'm wondering about the font groups that are showing up.
When going in to "Manage Fonts" it appears that these are Adobe Edge fonts. Is that what the little computer monitor icon represents, or does this icon indicate web fonts?
Anyway, I just wanted Arial. Tried the next tab, Local Web Fonts which seemed the logical option. But I couldn't browse to the Windows/Fonts folder. Other folders show up, but I don't know why this one did not (Folder options, all hidden and system files and folders are set to be not hidden). Does anyone know why this particular browse dialog doesn't see the fonts folder, or is this not the correct way to do this? I ended up going to the third tab, Font Stacks and just added Arial.
I would just like the original, plain ole font families back as the default options. But it seems like the Edge fonts have taken that spot.
Much obliged,
Lon
Optional Reading, mini op-ed:
To me, this appears to be yet another way that the Kings of the Web are forcing developers and users down a road that's under constant construction. I'm as tired of the Times New Romans and Verdanas as everyone else, but now let's make everything different and yet still all look the same. It used to be either it was a dull ride, but you got where you were going, or, vice versa. Now it's neither. The Web is no longer evolving - but is it mutating, or going supernova? Let's hope for the latter, where new elements explode outward, and re-assemble themselves into something new and shiny - and fun.

Hi
One of the reasons that Edge fonts and web fonts are though to be preferable to the old font stacks was because of Android tablets/smartphones only having the Droid font family available, (Android 4.3 added the Roboto font family also).
This meant that Android device users defaulted to the 'Droid' font or a user installed font. The default font if the user had installed a custom font and set it as default, could be anything, (even a comic script font) thus possibly destroying your text and/or layout completely.
If you are not using an Edge font or a downloadable font do not forget to set the last three fonts in your font stack to -
'...., Roboto variant, Droid variant, default font'

  • What happens to the original photo after editing?  Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

    I just bought my first iPhone(5).  On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it.  So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

    That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
    Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

  • What happened to the original version of Light?

    The original flashlight app was simply called Light and it was the best of the bunch. I can't find it in the app store. Can someone email me a copy?

  • If i sell my computer and want to install cc on new computer what happens to the original download.

    when you buy creative cloud for your current computer. you then upgrade that computer how do you deactivate or transfer the programs from the old computer to your new one. how do you delete or void the creative cloud on the old computer. thank you,

    how do you delete or void the creative cloud on the old computer. thank you,
    Open any Cloud app (e.g. Photoshop) on that old computer and click Help > Sign Out.
    That will deactivate all Cloud apps on that computer.
    The software can remain installed but it will not be usable until someone opens an app on that computer and signs back in with a valid and financially current Adobe ID.

  • What happened to the old JamPack 1?

    Before the SteveNote, the four JamPacks Apple sold were:
    Jam Pack 1
    Jam Pack 2: Remix Tools
    Jam Pack 3: Rhythm Section
    Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra
    Now, the four they sell are:
    Jam Pack 1: Remix Tools
    Jam Pack 2: Rhythm Section
    Jam Pack 3: Symphony Orchestra
    Jam Pack 4: World Music
    So what happened to the original JamPack 1? Have all of those loops and instruments been rolled up into GarageBand 3's default install, or are all those loops and instruments just plain discontinued?

    JamPack 1 is now included as a standard part of GB3.
    Where did you get this information from? Another poster recently said this:

    Posted: Jan 14, 2006 6:57 PM in response to: Logic Expert
    I think people are thinking it was included because its no longer listed as for sale at the Apple store.
    However it appears you are right. I did a clean install of Garageband 3 while my Jam Pack 1 folder was moved elsewhere and renamed, and the Garageband installer did not put any of those loops on my hard drive.
    For those wanting to check, the first loop listed in the Jam Pack 1 folder is "12 String Dream 01.aif" - so you can see if you have it anywhere.

    Reset you preferences:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

    Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
    1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
    2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
    3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
    Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

    hi experts,
                   i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

    Hi,
    When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
    If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
    Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
    This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
    Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
    So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
    Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

  • What happened to the default folder set (for your own libraries) in Edit/Preferences, in Adobe Photoshop CC?

    Once again I come to my computer, and it's not the way I left it. While I love cloud, I think in some way, the concept of Customer Service i.e. Providing a Service to a Customer "Set Service, for a Set Price" has lost the value of "service"
    I find it extremely disheartening, to always be dealing with changes Adobe makes, it costs me an exorbitant amount of time. I don't work with a team, so it's just me. And every other week, there is some changes, when my 3D quite working in CS6 I had no forewarning, just woke up one morning and "Poof" no more 3D, the software turned off the feature in my CS6, however, it did work in CC.
    The things I find most disheartening
    features quit working with NO PRIOR WARNING.
    Plug-ins, libraries what, now have to be stored in the cloud in order for MY system to automatically see them?
    Again No Default Libraries on our machines ( unless you think I'm going to store 2 Terabytes of libraries on the cloud and/or in my AppData Directory *not*  Nothing but system/program files themselves go on my Primary drive, everything else is on external drives, this is a security issue and one I'm not about to change, nor should anyone have to change it, since it is a *best practices* standard.
    I still can't access items in (for instance: Color Themes created on Kuler, are available on my computer, but not for me to put them into a library on the cloud. I have over 100 color themes there I have created, on my Creative Cloud account, why can they not be imported or drag/drop into the library designated for it. When I log into my Cloud Account on My iPad it is the same cloud account as on my PC, yet it doesn't even see my previously created color scheme's? Why? Does anyone have any ideas?
    I use a font manager for Windows called High-Logic, a Font Manager, Creator and a Scanner for Hand Writing Fonts Great Program, I've had it for over a year, while there is no plugin for Photoshop there is for In-Design and for Photoshop, I use the Font Manager on my computer to activate the font I want and it shows up in the Character Tool Box automatically.  Yet, just in the last week, every time I try and create something in Photoshop, I'm fine, until I go to use a font, at which time, my working project goes "dark" ( no longer visible) until I click on another tool in Photoshop.
    I cannot keep having these issues, it's way too time consuming, it's exorbitantly time consumer attempting to get a response to questions in the forums (no one's fault, it's just the nature of the forums themselves)
    The true cost of a product is not only in it's subscription based fee, but also includes the time it takes to keep up with product changes, additional training, the cost of delivery (cable connections/provider).  So far since the first of the year I have logged over 100 hours to either 'fix something that quit working with no notice', time spent re-reading documentation seeking a solution, time spent perusing the forums for a solutions, or posting a question, time spent in additional training/books, etc."
    While I understand I'm relatively new, as I had a 5 years off from working, I went from Macromedia Suite 8 to CS5.5 -full suite  (heck-of a learning curve)
    Yet, I cannot believe I am the only person having these issues, otherwise the forums wouldn't be so full.
    I did try limiting the permissions to not allow Adobe to update the software automatically, however, the permissions I wrote, were in fact re-written by adobe's cloud synchronization, Which I did find disturbing on a few levels. None of which I'll go into, but it needed to be mentioned that *yes, I tried that too*.
    *I ended up re-configuring my machine AGAIN* and deleting CS6 altogether, The performance change after I deleted CS6, was/is the difference and why I am still with my cloud membership.
    **I have reconfigured my machine numerous times, to facilitate the cloud, I am on a PC, Adobe and Microsoft Development Environments do not play well together, I ended up removing them altogether and creating a vm for them and basically all my development work. And have twice since reconfigured it for various reasons.

  • What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6?

    What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6?  Seems to be gone.

    Shheesh!  Loki is saying that this was a very useful tool/option.  Is there any way to BRING IT BACK TO THE SAFARI MENU?  Not how to do it in Preferences.
    What I am saying is: What incompetent is responsible for this build of Safari?  There was no reason to take that out... plenty of room in the Safari menu.  But if you REALLY want to know why I'm ******, Older people can no longer go into "Appearances" and change the Fonts and Size without knowing how to use terminal or how to make .css files.  (which doesn't work well anyway)
    This build is infuriating.

  • What happens when the multiply effect is applied to both the object and the graphic within?

    Hi everyone,
    I could really use some help with this...
    I'm getting a booklet ready to be printed. Originally, half of the pages were to be printed on paper with a (physical) colour. For budget reasons however, I've now decided to print the paper colour, and have the content of the pages overprinted on the tint in the background, which I've applied to the pages in the background of an additional master page.
    When I set the objects to multiply, they blend with the background colour, which is the effect I'm looking for, as there would be no 'paper white' on the pages that I want to appear as though printed on coloured paper.
    There's something confusing me though; you can also set the graphic within the object frame to multiply. This makes the graphic appear darker, which I don't really understand, since there is no extra colour within the graphic that accounts for this. I've looked at the output in the resulting pdf, and it looks like it's not just an on-screen effect, but the extra amount of (in this case) yellow would also be visible in the printed result.
    Does anyone have an explanation for this? Please see the graphic for a visual example.
    Thanks in advance, kind regards

    Hi.
              Yes. There is a heartbeat mechanism between all cluster members so they detect when a
              member has left the cluster. The primary server recognizes when it's secondary server
              has failed, and then proceeds to search for another member of the cluster to make as
              it's new secondary.

    If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
    If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
    I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards
    TD
    P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • Just updated iMovie today. What happened to the Ripple transition?

    Just updated iMovie today. What happened to the Ripple transitions?

    I had the same problem.  After about and hour with Apple care and several different people, I was told Apple eliminated the Ripple transition as part of the 9.0.6 update.  It's gone...no way to get it back in 9.0.6.  I was just finishing a project that used a bunch of this transition, so I found a work around.  I used Time Machine to revert back to the old version of iMovie (9.0.4).  When asked if I wanted to replace or keep both files, I elected to keep both files.  I now have a version of iMovie called iMovie (Original).  That still has the Ripple effect.  Seems to be working fine also.  I can't image why Apple did this.  I left feedback in the feedback forum.  Recommend we all do it so they will place the Ripple back.  This is the first time I've really used iMovie for a big project.  I've discovered I'm probably better off with something like Final Cut or Adobe Elements.  That's what I know.  Hope it helps.

  • HT4914 What happens to my original music?

    what happens to my original music files on my computers an iPxx devices when I subscribe it ITunes Match? Do they get deleted?  Do I have to download them again?  What happens when I have no internet connection?  Can I not listen to my music?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are talking about non-purchased music here.
    Any non-purchased music on your computer that is recognised by iTunes match will be matched in the cloud from the iTunes Store, this will then be available to all your devices. However the original file will stay on your computer unless you delete it and then download the iTunes version from the cloud.
    Any no-npurchased music on your computer that isn't recognised by iTunes match will be uploaded to the cloud, it is that version that will then be available to your other devices using iTunes match.
    When you have no Internet connection, you will only be able to play the content which resides in your library. Depending on your requirements, this may be all of it, none of it or just some of it.

  • What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist?  I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased.  Is there another way?

    Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
    Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
    Just download, unzip, and run the program.
    http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
    Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button
