Why are Adobe fonts shipped with tabular lining figures as default?

I'm just curious to know why this is still the case? Even in typeface clearly for text like Minion, or sans like Myriad, or new ones like Source Sans and Serif?
Thanks in advance.

I'll tell you with one word ...
Tradition!
But on a more serious note, even with serif text faces designed for text, most designers expect (1) that digits by default have the same widths and line up, (2) that if one changes from one font to another, the default behavior of digit lineup won't change, and (3) tastes - not everyone likes the look of proportional width digits or even old style digits when available.

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

Are you referring to an icon that looks like a monitor and has the word exec in green on it? If so, that's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this file is".
I'm guessing you're trying to use an incompete Type 1 PostScript font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.

The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Are the fonts installed with the Mac OS OK to use for commercail use? ie, a logo which willbe used for packaging, TV broadcast and internet.

You're welcome. Again, as mentioned in that discussion, you can use Font Book to check if the foundry has entered any license limitation notices in the font info (Preview > Show Font Info).
Basically, fonts are code. The copyright applies to the code. If the product you distribute doesn't include the code, then the copyright does not apply to it. That's why embedding has to be dealt with specifically, because embedding fonts in a document means including the code or parts of it in the document.

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

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor. Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

Could you explain what you mean by "updating"? Did your antivirus pick this up while Firefox was updating or while you were browsing the Internet?
If you were browsing the Internet (While visitting the hxxp://xtrastudio.com link), then that website was infected and not a Firefox problem. I would advise you to not visit the website again though, unless they manage to fix the infection as the antivirus managed to block it now, but it might not be able to the next time.
If it happened during the "Firefox is updating" window when you tried to start Firefox, then it pretty serious.
If you could answer that question, we will probably be able to help you. Good luck :)

Muse 2014.3 - Why are Adobe staying silent ?

It turns out that I am one of many, many people complaining about the latest update of Muse, 2014.3.
It is slow, full of bugs, updating assets invariably crashes the application and even simple things like changing page titles in plan mode are taking 10-15 seconds per change, it is ridiculous.
Why are Adobe not answering any of these complaints on the forum ? Do you not realise we are paying for a product that we can barely use and is making our working lives near impossible ?
ANSWERS PLEASE ADOBE AND PREFERABLY A SERIOUS BUG FIX OR THE LAST RELEASE BACK AGAIN......

An update was released today , please install the latest update.

Why are some fonts blank in my CS5 character panel?

Hi,
I'm wondering why some fonts arent visible in my character viewer. I am using Illustrator Version15.0.2 on a MacBook Pro running 10.9.1. I have included 2 screen shots below for a visual reference.
AND
Additionally, I'd like to understand how the fonts in the character viewer menu are organized. I know they are alphabetical, but what are the grey divider lines representing?
Can I deactivate non-english language fonts so that this menu is less conjested with fonts I never use? I've used Illustrator for years and am finally getting around to asking this question. I can't seem to find a straight forward answer regarding which fonts are actually non-english. As a side note, I use Font Explorer X Pro to manage my fonts.
Thanks for any insight into this.

I cross referenced with Photoshop's character menu, and they are showing up there. I included screenshots from Photoshop below. It looks like they are all non-English character fonts. They are not fonts I installed, but one's that are housed in my Library/Fonts folder. I'm not sure if they have always been in there, as they may have been installed with my Mavericks upgrade. They definitly came with either OSX or Mavericks. I will send a few to you if you would still like me to.
Best,
Erin

Where are adobe fonts installed in Mac OSX?

Why are these fonts auto activating?

I've just updated to Tiger 10.4.8. One day later I install CS2 (previously had CS).
I use FontAgent Pro. Now, whenever I open Safari or any CS2 app. (just the app, not an actual document) a bunch of fonts are auto activated which I don't want to be activated, and as far as I know don't need to be activated. They are Devangari MT, Geeza Pro, Gujarati MT, Gurmukhi MT, Hirangino Kaku Gothic Pro, LiHei Pro, STHeiti, Times, and Photoshop also auto activates Osaka.
Can anyone throw any light on this? I've posted in the Adobe forum (as not really sure if it's a mac thing or an adobe thing) but had no answers. Thanks

Hi Kathydate,
It doesn't matter what manager a person may be using. If any of the Fonts folders have something in them, they will be active. Check these folders for the fonts.
/System/Library/Fonts/
/Library/Fonts/
~/Library/Fonts/ (the tilde means your home account)
The Adobe apps have their own folder at:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/
If there are any fonts in that folder you want to remove, do not remove the folder "Reqrd" or any of the items in it. The Adobe apps need those fonts to operate.
For more details on font locations and which you can remove, see my article, Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther.

Are new Macs shipping with Snow Leopard?

If I order a new iMac today through the Apple store will it come with OSX 10.5 or 10.6 installed?
The Apple store says the iMac will ship with OSX 10.5 but they show a picture of the OSX 10.6 box set...
(I'd like to still get one with Leopard if I can)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
PPP connections generally are done by dialup modem. Macs presently do not have built-in modems, though a USB modem is available to them from Apple, and some other vendors which do work with Mac OS X 10.6.
Any Mac though that can run Mac OS X 10.6, can also run any version of Windows. See the virtualization options here*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
Boot Camp is included with 10.6.
By the way, MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control, a network naming convention. Mac is shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and the machines made by Apple computer that run the operating system in question.
If you have further questions about Boot Camp or other virtualization see the Boot Camp category, and pick up of the forums inside of it at its header to be able to post your own topic:

Are new Macs shipping with Mountain Lion? Everything on the website suggests yes, but CS told me no and I had to upgrade my brand new MacBook Air manually.

Does "Included Software" not mean "this is the software you will receive when you buy this Mac"?

Ahh OK.
Since Mountain Lion is so new, there may be a some units still in the supply chain that are still shipping with Lion.
Are you near an Apple Store? If you purchase there you'll be more certain about what you're getting.
Or if you order from the online store but do it by telephone (800-692-7753) you can express your concern about getting Mountain Lion.

Why are my matched songs with downward arrow using mac disk space

I have 1159 songs in my iTunes library which takes up over 16 GB of space on my macbook air SSD. Of those 499 are matched with 451 showing "matched" as well as the cloud icon with a downward arrow which I thought meant that they were not stored locally and needed to be streamed. So why are those 451 taking up 4.13 GB of precious SSD space. The same situation exists with my purchased and uploaded songs which make up the other 11 GB of SSD space. If I try to delete the song I get:
“Are you sure you want to delete this item from iCloud? This will delete this item from all your iTunes Match devices".
Maybe I don’t understand iTunes Match but I thought one of the advantages was that it freed storage space on your macs and iOS deices.

So now I have completed deleting the duplicates. I’m not sure it made any difference because now the 39 songs which were greyed out and waiting have uploaded and I still have over 14GB of iTunes on my completely full macbook air SSD
58 songs are downloaded using 484.6 MB which is fine. It is the other 908 songs showing the cloud with the downward arrow which take up 13.83 GB that I want to get rid of. The only problem is that if I try to delete them I get the message:
“ Are you sure you want to delete this item from iCloud? This will delete this item from all of your iTunes Match devices.”
So how can I delete them and leave them on iCloud?
I did try something you recommended elsewhere, holding down the SHIFT and turning off iTunes Match and then adding the computer again, but there was no improvement.

Why are static methods called with null references,valid ?

This is my code :
package inheritance;
public class inh6{
     public static void method(){
     System.out.println("Called");
     public static void main(String[] args){
          inh6 t4 = null;
     t4.method();
O/P :
CalledHere t4 is a null reference and yet we are able to call a method on it,why is null pointerexception not thrown.Why are we able to call static methods using null references ?
t4 is null means it doesnot refer to any memeory address,hence how is method() called correctly.
I hope i am clear. :)
Thank you for your consideration.

By memory address i mean the memory location the reference is pointing to.I know what you mean. But if you think it's relevant, can you show me where in the JLS it says anything about memory locations?
>
You can do that because a) t4's type is "reference to inh6" and b) method() is declared static, which means that you don't need an object to call it, just the class. That class comes from the compile time type of t4. The fact that t4 is null at runtime is irrelevant.
So at compile time the type of t4 is inh6 and hence the method is called.Is it ? Had method() not been static a NullPointerException would have been thrown.Correct.
With non-static, non-private, non-final methods, which implementation of the method gets called is determined at runtime, buy the class of the object on which it's being called. If any one of those "non"s goes away, then the method is entirely determined at compile time, and in the case of static methods, there's no instance necessary to call the method in the first place.
