    how do I safely download Friz Quadrata font to my mac? where to download and where do I put it?

    Thanks for the help. I guess I am so afraid of some awful malware sneaking in, that I hesitate to go to any website and download stuff (learned a terrible lesson with MacKeeper! ... but that's another story). I took a deep breath, backed up my system, went to cooltext.com and downloaded Friz Quadrata. Then I made sure that it was in my font folder (which I found using Searchlight) and I moved it to the Modern Folder. I then restarted my Mac, and there it was! I is still not listed in Word, but if I go to the font tab and open "Font Collections," there it is. Everything seems to be working; I've used the font now and no crashes or freezes. Will keep you updated if some bad stuff happens. Thanks so much for giving me the courage to do this!!

  • Where do I store new fonts so I can use them in DW

    My graphics artist sent me a new font, and i added it to the windows font folder.....but still was not able to access it in DW.  where should I put it?

    Well...where to start? Folks who will be visiting your site probably won't have the font in question. So they'll see your design most likely with their browser's default font. So first off you'll need to find out if it will even be worthwile using a new font that may not be available and usable by your visitor's browsers. But there are some comon fonts that are widely available that you can use to somewhat guarantee that folks will see what you designed the way you meant it. These are called font stacks - you basically use CSS to tell the browser what font you would first prefer it to use and on down the "stack" until, if none of the fonts are available on that machine/browser, it uses it's default (serif, sans-serif, proportional, and script). So keep that in mind (if you'd like to learn more about font stacks and which fonts are commonly available, do a web search on font stacks).
    Okay that being said... here's how to add it (but be aware that others might not see your wonderful font):
    On your Properties bar, select the Font dropdown and click the edit font list. Then you can add your font from the "Available Fonts" window by selecting it and hitting the left-facing double brackets that point to the Chosen Fonts window. When your done, hit the OK button. Then start using this font stack in your website.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to put sound fonts into a playable format in garageband. I followed all of the instructions on the sound font help page for Garageband, but I still cannot play the sounds, or get them to show up. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to put sound fonts into a playable format in garageband. I followed all of the instructions on the sound font help page for Garageband, but I still cannot play the sounds, or get them to show up. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, I was confused by your profile signature showing "GarageBand (Mac) '11".
    It is very similar in the newest GarageBand 10.0.2: 
    Enable Audio Units in the GarageBand Preferences > Audio/Midi.
    Create a software instrument track.
    Show the Smart Controls and click the button.
    In the Info panel scroll, to make the Audio Units brick visible and click the "Instrument" control.  Select "AuInstrument > Apple > DLSMusicDevice" and click it, to open the settings.
    This should show you a panel, where you can select a Sound Bank. Does that show your sound font?

  • HT2509 Where should I keep my fonts folder on my HD

    Where should I keep my fonts folder on my HD?

    I assume you mean third party fonts you've added? If so, pretty much anywhere you want.
    There are already three Fonts folders on the hard drive they're at:
    /System/Library/Fonts/
    /Library/Fonts/
    ~/Library/Fonts/
    The first obviously belongs to the system. If you don't know what you're doing in that folder, leave it alone. The second is the Library you see when you double click the icon of the hard drive on your desktop. Any fonts in that folder can be used by any user account. The last refers to the Fonts folder of the active user. That is, whoever is logged in at the moment. Only that user can access fonts within their account.
    It's not a good idea to activate hundreds, and especially not thousands of fonts at a time. They take up space in RAM when active. They more you have open, the less RAM is available for other apps. Long font lists in apps also very much slow down those menus.
    I would create a folder for your fonts anywhere outside of the three locations I listed above. You can put is right at the root of the drive is you want, next to Applications, Users, etc. You can even call the folder Fonts if you want to. OS X will pay no attention to it, despite the name. It only automatically looks into the three main Fonts folders.
    From there, you can activate fonts within that folder using Font Book, or any other third party font manager. If you're using Font Book, I strongly suggest using Library sets rather than normal sets. With the former, the fonts stay where they are (activated in place) rather than being copied into your user account (a waste of time and disk space).

  • When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?

    When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?
    Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
    I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
    Please help !
    Nick

    Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
    Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
    Any ideas welcome !!

  • Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

    where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?  I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font.  On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger.  I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place?  I did not consciously change the default.
    I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered.  I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem.  For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
    As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

  • Where do I put a workflow so that all users on the Mac can access?

    Where do I put a workflow so that all users on the Mac can access it from Automator?
    Also. why does the search pattern "users" AND "workflows" return results whitch math "and" (lowercase)? I thought "AND" (in caps) is for boolean searches.

    Hi, Mike.
    1. You wrote: "Where do I put a workflow so that all users on the Mac can access it from Automator?"Either:
    • Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
    • Macintosh HD > Applications (if you're the Admin user).
    All users (unless restricted by Parental Controls) have access to those folders.
    2. You wrote: "Also. why does the search pattern "users" AND "workflows" return results whitch math "and" (lowercase)? I thought "AND" (in caps) is for boolean searches."It's unclear as to what search facility you are referring, and a bit hard to follow given the spelling errors in your question.
    Do you mean Discussions search? If so, have you reviewed the Search Tips? They're also available from the search page, where one can click "Tips" under the Search Terms field.
    Good luck!

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

  • Where do I put the "autoplay" code in my photo gallery?

    I have a photo gallery on http://victorylcms.org/photos.html. I'm trying to add "autoplay" to it.
    I got the gallery from http://galleria.aino.se/ and here is what it says to add http://galleria.aino.se/docs/1.2/options/autoplay/, but I can't seem to figure out where exactly to put it in my code to make it work properly. Thanks for any help!
    autoplay
    type: Boolean or Number
    default: false
    If true, this will start playing the slideshow with 5 seconds interval (default). If you set this to any number, f.ex 4000, it will start playing with that interval (in milliseconds)
    Example:
    $("#gallery").galleria({
        autoplay: 7000 // will move forward every 7 seconds

  • Where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in

    Hi experts,
    We have BOE XI 3.1 in our server.
    We configured trusted authentication in CMC of our server machine, and created a trustedprincipal.conf in D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 of my client machine. I created a jsp file to access bo reports.
    I can not approach http://bfphp:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp, just get alert after running the jsp file.
    However, we put trustedprincipal.conf in our server machine and remove the file from my client machine, I can approach openDocument.jsp after accessing the jsp file.
    Official document says trustedprincipal.conf should be put in client, but we tried it, logon fails. When I put it in server, logon succeeds.
    My question is, if trustedprincipal.conf is put in server, can anyone who knows a user of BO system access to bo system via the jsp file. So how can I control authentication of client who access to BO system, and where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in?

    HI,
    this sounds like a general BusinessObjects Enterprise configuration topic. this forum here is for the Integration Kit for SAP.

  • Where do I put my SD card in MacBook Pro

    Hi, 
    This may be a really stupid quesiton but I am stuck! 
    Where do I put my Scandisk memory card in the MacBook Pro? 
    I don't seem to have a slot anywhere. I am probably being very stupid!!!
    Please help.  Thanks

    You might have one of the 'micro' cards that needs a standard SD adapter - I have a 4GB of one of those in my phone, but it came with an adapter. My camera SD cards are standard size and they fit right into the card reader and show up on my desktop.
    Look for an adapter on Amazon.
    Good luck,
