Why all the Font Explorer X server requests?

I recently upgraded to the paid version of Font Explorer, Linotype's Font Explorer Pro X 3.1, on my Macbook Pro running OSX10.6. Every time I launch the app, it goes through a 3-5 minute process where it gives me the following "Connection failed" modal dialog error about 10 times:
"The server (remote server name here) may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
The server being mentioned is my Mac Pro, which does not (or should not) have any bearing on what Font Explorer X is doing. I have no idea why it needs to access that computer.
I get these messages even when the Macbook is running on the same network with the Mac Pro actually connected and files from that machine open on the Mabook's desktop.
These messages never happened with the free version of Font Explorer X, so I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on. I deleted all files related to Font Explorer, including the .plist preference file and the Linotype folder in Application Support, AND I cleaned the font cache. I re-installed Font Explorer X 3.1 after emptying the trash, rebooting and clearing the PRAM. It went through all the normal motions of setup, indicating that it was a completely clean install. But again it goes through that impossible process every time I launch the app. What gives? Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried contacting the developer of the software your using, this is the Apple forum.

How to list all the fonts in an FLA?

Hello all,
I want to find a way to list all the fonts in my FLA files. I want to see that the developers get the fonts they need before the problems crop up - wild idea, I know. Using the edit/font mapping option seems to only show fonts which are missing or have been re-mapped. How do I get the FLA to give me the name of every font it's holding?

Not the answer you want, but the closest you're going to find:
Open the Movie Explorer (Window/Movie Explorer). Select the "A" button at the top of the panel and deselect all others. This gives you a list of all text in the FLA, with the font listed at the end of each line.

Why are the fonts so small since I upgraded? I have difficulty reading folder names even when I wear my reading glasses.

Kirby:
. What version of OS X?
10.6.8 - latest Snow Leopard.
. How are you determining the size of the Vault?
Using Finder: "Size 5.8 MB on disk".
. What exactly did you do that you describe as "I decided to set up a Vault to back up to the Time Machine external hard drive.". In general, Time Machine should be on a drive dedicated to it (that is, with nothing else on it).
Oops, right: I meant Time Capsule. Time Machine is backing up to the Time Capsule, but I thought I could also use the Time Capsule as an external hard drive as well as a target for Time Machine. So, this is a non-no?
. How many images show up when you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and filter using the Filter Rule "File Status" with the argument "Referenced"?
1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
But, using Finder:
iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

Welcome to the Apple forums
Your question really belongs in the AppleWorks community/forum.
You can turn on fonts in actual type in the AppleWorks preferences.

Is there a way to apply all the font styles before importing the file

Hi,
I've some text as below in a text file that needs to be imported into InDesign.
"Law of Civil Procedures"
And in InDesign this is to be made bold. I want to know if there is a way to make it bold directly and then import it into InDesign, I'm asking this as I have approximately 200 pages that needed with all the font styles applied. This would be very helpful if i can first apply the font styles and then import it into InDesign.

Hi Salah,
Thanks for your Answer. I'm completely new to indesign, i'm basically an XSLT Developer. My question in brief is as below.
We have to make books in InDesign, and the content we receive would be in XML Format and also an RTF file is given with same content, what we do currently is copy and paste the text in InDesign document and start formatting te content accordingly. But we are having huge volumes like more than 6000 pages and similarly we are having 8-12 vilumes, i want to know if we can get the styles directly in InDesign and start working on them.
For eg: we have the below content
<para style="left"><num style="bold">1(1)</num> <b>[Short title and commencement]</b></para>
Here there should be a para created and the number should be bold. I'm really unable to understand how to do it. please help me with this. And also our vendors need the IDML file along with the PDF. please let me know how i can do this.
Also please suggest me some good tutorials regarding this.
Thanks.

Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

I am using forms in my pdf.
I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

I need a visually impaired configuration that 1) standardizes all the fonts on a page to one size, so that ... (cont'd)

2) they can all be maximized to the largest possible size, while 3) NOT forcing table columns larger than the screen width so that all the text in a column STAYS ON THE DAMNED SCREEN! Is there a way to do this (so far the add ons have come up lacking, and do NOT cover all three bases)...
There may be a CSS style sheet solution that I haven't seen.
An add on called "Readability" works sometimes but only with certain "articles," but they have an approach that can be considered useful for expanding on.
The Firefox FONT features are inadequate and give poor results in the real world.
The minimum font size MAX of 24 is too small, and changing it in about:config gives poor results as well. It is necessary to force all font sizes to be the same first, before applying these algorithms. How can this be done?

I've tried both of those. The problem is that they don't normalize all the fonts on the page first. The large header fonts push the columns too large, while the smaller fonts don't increase enough compared to the headers. This makes for either fonts that are too small where I want to actually read, or it pushes the text OFF THE SCREEN.
None of these add ons has tackled this obvious issues properly (on my Firefox 4 installation anyway).
That is except for the Readability plug in, which only works with certain pages, but it does a pretty good job on those. See the Readability add on and try it for a better understanding of what I need to use the web efficiently.
Thanks.

Why all the micro4/3 (Panasonic and Olympus) lenses are missing in Lightroom lens corrections?

Is there a reason why all the micro4/3 lenses (panasonic, Leica and Olympus) are missing as lens corrections in all Lightroom versions?

They are not missing.
Within the last year or two many cameras do their own lens corrections before writing the JPG or even displaying the image on the back of the camera or in the electronic view finder, so Adobe does the same thing: the lens profiles are built into the camera raw engine and always applied. It’s confusing because cameras didn’t used to do this and Adobe didn’t used to do this, so we have the situation of older cameras having lens profiles you had to select from the dropdown lists, while newer cameras don’t require this. Of course removable-lens cameras still have this situation, but many/most recent P&S cameras have built-in lens corrections.
The Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop actually indicates when a built-in profile is being used, but LR does not, yet.

How can I change all the fonts at once on labels I downloaded from Avery?

How can I change all the fonts at once on labels I downloaded from Avery?

select all (Edit > Select All), then open the font panel by selecting the menu item "Format > Font Show Fonts". Now select the font you want.
I could only find Templates from Avery for Pages. I think my suggestion in still good but want you to know you posted this question in the forum for Numbers.

All the fonts become transparent in Firefox and then I cant run any other windows programs.

After a couple of hours of being open, all the fonts in firefox 3.6.12 turn transparent, and it seemingly freezes. Then, it takes windows down with it. I cant open any programs, not even the task manager. All the fonts in windows so blank. I have to close firefox and then I can use programs again. I scanned for viruses and found nothing. This only happens with firefox, and it started pretty recently. I figured maybe one of the extensions is to blame. I updated flash recently and I thought it was the culprit but I uninstalled it recently and the freezing still happens.
The fonts all turning transparent is a pretty unique symptom I think. I googled a lot but no one seems to be having the same problem. I'm at the end of my rope here.

Similar thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929692 Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.]
You can check the following folder to make sure the google.xml plugin is included in your installation of Firefox:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins
If it's there, but it doesn't appear in the search box, there could be a corrupted file in your settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder). If it's missing, then you might consider reinstalling Firefox over you existing installation to fill in the gaps.
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong in that process. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Why all the methods in interface should be implemented

why all the methods in interface should be implemented

Because you'll break the contract saying "this instance features all methods defined in that interface" otherwise.
In other words, as long as an interface isn't completely implemented by an instance, it's not validly implemented at all.

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.
