What's Apple's Standard Font called?

Does anyone know what Apple's standard font is called? It's the one they use in e.g. their operating system...

Have a look at Apple's Developer documentation. It covers style and consistency with fonts and dialogs. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidel ines/XHIGText/chapter13_section2.html>
Hope this helps! bill

The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless.

The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless. iOS installed today November 3 and dialog box came up say device no longer supported.
It's an Apple SD card reader (purchased the same week in Syracuse,NY) and it worked fine yesterday after part one of a Day of the Dead shoot in central Mexico.
As a professional journalist I traveled with the iPad and a Nikon D80 and lenses and flash. My MacBook would be addded weight so this application (the iPad) fits the bill.
I was in Paris for a month in October and shot thousands of photos. Often did not have wireless and used the iPad as a photo safe to store the photos.
Back in the Paris apartment the Photostream worked great.
So what gives Apple...I upgrade my Ipad 1 for an Ipad 3 and now it's useless in this application and the new iOS. Was there any warning or information that this would happen? Or did you test the iOs on the iPad 4? Afterall the iPad 3 is, what 5 months old?
But, and a big BUT Apple, I can buy an iPad 4 and use the thunderbolt SD card reader. Is this how you become a world class company???
Our next Apple purchase is not going to be that...was going to be an Ipad mini for my wife to use on the road in her job. She travels giving anesthesia.
We are an Apple family....My first Apple was an Apple II and had a Newtown (that still works).
And we now have an iPhone, 2 MacBookPros, 2 Apple TVs.
My other computer is an old PC that works with my professional weather station and also interfaces with my ham radio. While I dislike the stability of Windows the system allows me to tinker and work with other devices.
How can Apple not recognize that folks do want to do thing the way they have been and also abandon DVD/CD drives from computers yet at the same time Apple will sell you its own DVD/CD drive.
I have always loved my early AppleII but had to abandon it for writing and editing (early photo editing and design was still a dream then) because most companies "did not support Apple," I was told by corporate IT people. So a love hate period of using PCs.
Now Apple does not support users but it will sell us the latest gadget. This is stupid marketing and wrong consumption by America.
I don't want to trust the Cloud for everything and want the ability to edit and stroe photos with ease and not always reply on wi-fi.
Maybe I should shell out $69 for tech support.

Hey wmhwilson,
first of all you are not addressing apple in these forums. We are all just users like you trying to help eachother out. I can almost guarantee they didn't pull the support for the card reader from ipad 3. As i have a nikon camera and d5000 and a card reader running on ipad 3 and i just did a import from the sd card after I read your comments. It could be a bug within your ipad. Try restarting the ipad, if you have everything back up to icloud do a full reset then restore from icloud.
Second, going off on a tangent about apple and their business practices, in support forums which are user based, really wont get you much help. We come here to help people like you and there are way to many folks who go out venting and we all heard it before and kinda getting bit tired off it.
Third, before doing proper diagnostics, rebooting, restoring ipad, using different SD card, try using usb connector directy to the camera, don't assume that apple pulled the plug on it. It could be a bug that slipped through testing however I highly doubt it since its working for me.
So try rebooting, restoring ipad from icloud (if you have back up), try inserting a different SD card. Since you are photographer you must have more then one. Try using the other connector that comes with camera kit.

Missing Some Fonts Called For in Apple Pro Training Serries FCS 2 Book

I am currently working my way through Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 by Mark Spencer and Jem Schofield in the Apple Pro Training Series. Twice I have encountered cases where I am unable to find the font called for in the book. One case was Helvetica neue (I substituted Helvetica) and the second instance in which the Herculanum font is called for. I am surprised that books in this series would use fonts that do not seem to be on my computer. I am using OS 10.4.10 with all updates and similarly for FCS 2. I feel I may be missing something here, i.e. perhaps the fonts really are somewhere on my system and are just not accessible to FCS 2. Is that possible? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hanumang and All,
Thank you for your help. Let me bring this to closure by explaining what I found on investigating this issue and what I did to resolve it and obtain the fonts.
On the basis of your confirmation that these fonts should have been on my iMac, I called Apple Support. I spent the usual hour on line with them and went through two support people only to learn that the only way to get these fonts back into my OS X Library/Fonts folder (without having a second Mac computer) was to reinstall the operating system. It is remarkable to me that one cannot simply get the fonts off the Apple Installation disk, but it cannot be done since they are installed as part of the OS X installation and are not in a separate directory or folder on the installation disk.
I set out to do an Archive and Install with Preserve User Settings carefully checked. About one third of the way through the Archive and Install process the process hung and failed to move forward for more than an hour. I finally ended the installation process and attempted to run it again which it would not allow me to do as the Archive and Install process was now grayed out. I had no choice but to run an Erase and Install process to get a clean version of OS X on my system.
Once I had the clean version of OS X on the system, I used Font Book to check for Helvetica neue and Herculanum fonts and they were now there. I then copied all of the fonts in Library/Fonts from this vrigin install of OS X to an external drive. I back up my iMac every night automatically using Retrospect so I was now able to do a full restore of my Mac HD using Retrospect. Of course, once I had done that the fonts were missing again, but I just copied all the fonts from the external HD copy into the Library Fonts folder on my Mac HD, and all was well -- some 7 hours after starting this process.
You know, as someone who has recently bought their first Mac computer in 24 years, I would have to say that I am very disappointed in certain aspects of OS X. It takes an excessively long time to reinstall OS X compared to Windows XP with which I am very familiar. The Archive and Install feature of OS X has not worked for me on the two occasions where I have tried to use it and I truly miss the REstore feature of Windows XP.
I love Apple Professional level software like FCS 2 and Aperture, but I am not a fan of OS X. My hope is that Leopard with Time Machine and other new features will address some of the problems with OS X.

Non-standard fonts in JOptionPane

I have looked extensively through this forum, and no one has answered this specific question, even though it has been asked several different ways. Maybe someone has an answer now.
I am writing a client app using Java 1.4.2_02 that needs to display many languages. I have all of the European languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser and JOptionPane. I even have the Asian languages displaying correctly in JFileChooser. What I can't do is display the Asian languages (and probably any non-standard font) in JOptionPane correctly - all I see are boxes in place of the characters. Here is the relevant code of what I have tried so far:
        Locale.setDefault(Locale.JAPAN);
        int option = JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION;
        String [] buttonText = null;
        switch(option) {
            case JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION:
                buttonText = new String[2];
                buttonText[0] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.yesButtonText");
                buttonText[1] = UIManager.getString("OptionPane.noButtonText");
                break;
            // other cases...
        JOptionPane jop = new JOptionPane("Do you wish to display Japanese fonts?",
                                          JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE,
                                          option,
                                          null,
                                          buttonText);
        // Have tried many fonts - MS Gothic seems to be the one that should work, though.
        // BOLD seems to slightly work - I see a (Y) or a (N) after the strange characters.
        jop.setFont(new Font("MS Gothic", Font.BOLD, jop.getFont().getSize()));
        JDialog jopDialog = jop.createDialog(null, "Dialog Title");
        jopDialog.show();Even though most of the above code is from a post by one of the authors of "Java Internationalization", this doesn't work. Has anyone solved this problem?

To solve this problem, you have to tell the UIManager to set the font everywhere you need the new font. Unforunately, there is no one method call to do this. So here is the short version:
        localizedFont = new Font("MingLiU", Font.PLAIN, 12); // or whatever font you need
        UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", localizedFont);
        UIManager.put("Button.font", localizedFont);
        // etc...    Another thread (I forget where) gave code to extract all of the properties of UIManager - find that thread to get all the properties.

Bizarre Thing Word for Mac 2011 Restore Standard Fonts

I don't know where to post this. I can't find a section for discussing Word for Mac 2011 even though a bazillion people probably use it. So I'm hoping someone who does will read this and give me some insight.
I've been having a terrible time opening Word. The W just bounces around on the dock a few times and then settles down and it never opens. When I try to open a specific document through Finder, it's completely non-responsive. So I read on this forum that the issue could be checking your Font Book and possibly restoring standard fonts. So I thought I had nothing to lose (HAH!) and I went to Font Book and did the Font Validation test. I didn't have any serious errors but I thought what the heck and I clicked the box that said Restore Standard Fonts. Then I tried to open Word and it opened flawlessly. Yippee, or so I thought.
Two days later I tried to open a Word document that is 433 pages long. Well guess what, now it's only 376 pages. I was completely freaking out. What could have happened? I scrolled through it and each page is there sequentially. I don't understand how this could have occurred. Could "Restore Standard Fonts" have done something to the spacing? Could it have removed certain letters? I can't see anything missing, but how could I have lost 57 pages?
Well luckily I had an old hardcopy of the document and was able to see that prior to this Restore Standard Font action, there were 24 double-spaced lines to a page and now there are 28. So I think that's the explanation, although I can't be completely sure, unless I review the entire document word for word.
So can someone please explain why this happened? Why does Restore Standard Fonts add lines to a page? Are the letters smaller? Is my document okay? Or should I not have done what I did.

What is apple's replacement policy for a macbook pro?

Macbook Pro, 13" from Summer 2011 running Mavericks
Still under applecare, but will run out in approximately a month.
As stated above, I bought the computer in the summer. A couple months later, I took it in to the store and ended up having the logic board and entire screen replaced because there were issues with both.
This past march (2014) I took it into the store and had the hard drive cable replaced because my hard drive was "missing"
Afterwards, I was having issues with the computer shutting down randomly. I would close the lid - putting it to sleep - and then I would sometimes hear later on (not immediately afterwards) the disks start going again or the fan start blowing as if the computer was turning on again and working on something. Sometimes I would put it in my backpack and 20 minutes later take it back out and find that it was super hot and the battery had completely drained. The computer also got a lot slower. I talked with apple on the phone and the person I talked to even commented on how slow it was going as she had me open up certain things to check settings, etc. That resolved nothing so I took it in to the store. The store technicians took it and then gave me a call later and told me they found nothing wrong with it. They offered to send it in to the factory or some other repair center for a more thorough search and repair. Due to certain work circumstances, I said that I would see if things got better. A few days later, things got a lot worse and I ended up taking it to the store and having it sent out to the factory. Both times I was at the store I could see exactly what the technicians were writing down, and despite me telling them over and over again, they wrote down things that weren't really the issue. Maybe this is minor, but for example, I would tell them that my battery heated up when the computer was supposed to be asleep and it would get hot and drain completely in a very short time while it was supposed to be asleep. They would write down "battery drains quickly." They also just didn't seem to care very much - walking away and helping other people despite my appointment, etc. Well they sent it off to the factory and then shipped it back to me after replacing the logic board, battery, fan, and ram. I called apple as it was being shipped back to me and asked to talk to a manager because I thought it was rather ridiculous that my computer was having so many issues - I felt like as soon as my warranty was up it was just going to have another problem and I would end up paying for it. He to me he would extend the warranty some and he alluded to possible a possible replacement of the computer down the line if I was still having issues. The day I got the computer back, it kept trying to shut down. It froze once. I wasn't even doing much with the computer - it shouldn't have been overloaded by a long shot. I called and left a message for the manager. He called me back a couple days later and I told him what the issues were as soon as I got the computer back. However, they abated between the time I got it back and the time he called me back, so he attributed it to the fact that I had been using google chrome and said I should check my updates. I switched browsers and made sure I was updated and for a time it was ok-ish (still slow). Then I had an issue where I was copying files to my desktop. The copying went on forever and ever and my computer started freezing. I tried shutting down and I couldn't. I hit the power button and it wouldn't turn off. After forever, I finally got it to turn off and restarted. Then the random shut downs started again. And then, finally, I was left looking at a folder on a gray screen. Called the manager again and he said it was probably the hard drive cable. He said that if the cable replacement didn't fix it, we would probably be looking at replacing the computer. I took it in to the store and had it replaced. It didn't do any good. Now the manager wants me to send it to the factory again. He says that I almost had reached the amount of repair issues that would get me a new computer, but the first issues right after I got it didn't count since they weren't very recent. What is apple's policy on replacing laptops that seem to just be lemons?

We cannot answer the question nor will Apple. You will need to consult your state's lemon law to determine whether you have a case. Most likely you will need to go to arbitration. If you need to go to court you will need to hire an attorney or use small claims court if your case is eligible.
If Apple has such a policy, then only Apple knows what that policy is. So you will need to take the matter up with them through the local Apple Store.

What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

IPhone 3GS upgrade v3.1.3 to v4.0.1: What's Apple Doing to Resolve?

I upgraded to 4.0.1 this weekend on my iPhone 3GS and my wife's iPhone 3GS. We are now both suffering from only 5 hours of battery life.
Prior to the upgrade we enjoyed over 16 hours of battery life. The only difference is the upgraded operating system. This proves the problem is the upgrade to 4.0.1, maybe not v4.0.1 itself, but definitely the upgrade from v3.1.3 on a 3GS.
We use(d) these machines in our business and because the working business day is greater than 5 hours, this upgrade to 4.0.1 is costing us real money. If Apple wants to be considered more than an up-market toy maker, it will need to show more commitment in support of real world businesses.
Can Apple continue to refuse to accept there is a problem? I've tried ignoring the problem, like Apple, but it didn't make my battery last longer. So I guess ignoring the problem is not the correct answer? Maybe I need to hold the machine differently with v4?
I call for Apple to immediately make an optional downgrade to v3.1.3 available, or issue a fix to the v4.0.1 upgrade process/software. If any empowered employee of Apple reads this, please action immediately.
Otherwise, what is Apple doing to resolve this issue, other than ignoring it?

Hi
When you say nothing in the csauth log... do you mean nothing at all... or nothing that looks like an error?
Try setting logging to max and seeing where it gets to.
I suspect there is something in your 3.3 config that doesnt get upgraded corectly. Its impossible for every scenario to be tested - Im not sure how much upgrade testing actually gets done. Probably left until the end of the test cycle.

What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
(plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?
15-Jun-2011 15:15 (in response to sfrommilton keynes)
o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
- You call it rubbish
- The world calls it physics
You are totally wrong. Please go back to School.
o You can deny physics
- but that will not change reality.
You can go to School but that wont change reality.
o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
- I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
- I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
- But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
Yeah because you were there. Are you having some kind of relationship with the company? I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations. The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product.
This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber. This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

Can't Change Standard Font Size in Preferences

I just got a new 24-inch iMac, which is great, but the screen is so big that web pages at the standard size are impossible to read at a comfortable distance. I went into Preferences and clicked on the "Appearance" tab, and set the standard and fixed-width font sizes to what I wanted--and nothing changed. I quit and restarted Safari, quit and restarted the iMac--no change (even though the sizes in the Preferences remained as I had set them). What the... ?
I am using the latest Safari (2.0.4) and OS version (10.4.7). I am running Pith Helmet, but things did not change when I disabled it.
I tried setting the "Never use font sizes smaller than..." to the size I wanted, but there are two problems with that: (1) the font size changes but the line spacing does not, making text seemed crammed together; and (2) it prevents me from sizing down the text if it appears too big on some pages. So that's not an acceptable solution, neither is Command-+'ing every single web page I come to.
I searched the forums for the past year, and found no answers to this. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
24-inch iMac, 15 PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Okay, strange thing here... it seems that Firefox and Mozilla are acting the exact same way, and the universal effect is taking on a strange form.
I made a blog post recently where I had photos, and under each photo I set a caption, which is sized with the HTML command "font size=-1". THOSE lines respond to the font resizing, but the rest of the text does NOT; this has the strange effect of making the main page text small, and the photo captions large--instead of being smaller as intended. I checked a variety of pages and found the same thing: on some pages, all the text followed the new standard font size; on some pages, none of the text changed size; and on many pages, there was a mix of affected and unaffected text.
I am guessing that all of these browsers only change the font size of non-CSS-formatted text or something like that. If so, it seems a bizarre thing to do. Or perhaps there is some setting on my Mac which controls this?
Help!

IDCS2/CS3 for Mac what version of Type 1 fonts are supported?

Hi there.
I am trying to chase down an issue with a Font not working correctly in IDCS2, but the issue also persists in CS3, on Panther/Tiger, on PPC and Intel macs, so this is an InDesign compatibility issue.
I have this Postscript Type 1 font (called Charter) from Bitstreams Library (v.3). Adobe say my issues are casued by the version of the Type 1 font I am using.
The font has a font suitcase that is Type 1 version 3.34, and font files are Type 1 version 2.15.
The thing is, I have other fonts that DONT misbehave, with the same Type 1 version numbers.
So here's my query: Can anyone tell me what version of Type 1 IDCS2 supports? Is there a minimum spec?

Hi Dom
If it were a font issue, how come all other apps are displaying the font in thier font menus correctly? There is something different about what ID requires to 'file' the font correctly in their menus than in other programs. Probably to do with (as you say) 'style links'. Do you know whether these are things that I can change?
Hi again Richard.
As for buying the OTF, it seems to me that Fontlab would be cheaper. Also that £100 takes a nice pite out of the profit margin on this job. We oinly do setting here, not printing, so we can't argue that we'll be making money on the print side of the job.
You know what it's like a company wants you to do a job promising there's more work coming right behind it. They want a good price 'considering the amount of work they will be putting your way'. You give them a good price, you do the work, and they disappear. So I don't really want to spend well over £100 on a font that I already have, with no guarantee that it will work, If no more work materialises when this job is done.

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?
