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.

"this font is not installed"

Frequently I get the msg "quicklookd.app wants to use the font XXXX on the volume YYYY. This font is not installed. Allow quicklookd.app to use this font?"
The font(s) in question is (are) installed in /Library/Fonts/
1) Why does it want to use the font from /Volumes/YYYY?
2) How do I stop this?

Which font is it?????

Iweb says font in not installed.

I have a serious problem with iWeb. One of the sites I have made (and which runs for a few years now) uses the Skia font which is installed on my OSX 10.6.8 system. I use it often in all kinds of documents. Today I want to update a few pages in that website, I open up iWeb and get the msg that the Skia regular font is not installed. But it is; like it has always been. No problems in Pages, in Photoshop etc. I turned it on and off in the Fontmanager (not sure if it is called that way in the english version, but I mean the standard fonttool in OSX). The only thing I can think off is that in cleaning my fontlibraries (which I did some time ago) I have thrown away another (double) version of the Skia font and iWeb wants that other version.
I can manually update all the text fields on all of the 50 (or so) pages, but I don't know what fields are in Skia and what in some other font, which means the risk that I mess up the whole site.
Is there a way to solve this problem; some programs give the option to choose an alternative font when a used type is not installed, but I can't find an option like that in iWeb.
Who can help me ?

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
You do know that Skia is not one of the Web Safe Fonts and will look different on computers that do not have that font installed, particularly PCs, right?. It could change the look of the entire page.

Launching MS Office for Mac 2011: "Font is not Installed" errors

Message Microsoft (MSOffice).app wants to use the font "xxx". This font is not installed. Allow Microsoft(whatever).app to use this font? show in finder, don't allow, allow. happens with all Office apps, runs through entire font library.
about 3 months ago this started - not sure what I did to kick it off, but now whenever I try to use a Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 app it runs through the series of fonts and asks me to do something. I can go through one at a time and select 'don't ask me again' and 'allow' or 'don't allow' but I'd rather figure out (and solve) the problem. Any ideas?

FCP 7.0.3 why are my fonts suddenly not available?

Hi I'm hoping someone has an answer to this:
I just purchsed a new MacPro 8-Core and installed Final Cut Studio (FCP 7) on Lion
It had been working fine, I had a system issue where tried to fix by providing rights to sub-folders and since I did that I have been having huge problems trying to get the Mac running again. One of which happens to be that the fonts which were accessible in FCP prior to the issue are now no longer available. in fact I had a huge collection all accessible. these are all gone. The same goes for Motion and the templates I try to open and use in Final Cut.
Does anypne have a clue as to why this happened and, more importantly, how can I get my fonts back??
thx
fj
PS. I have gone into font book and made sure all fonts are activated.

Thx all for your help. I tried all of it. A friend suggested what Brad suggested:
When I created a new user I found that the fonts were once again appearing as they should/were originally in both FCP and Motion. It seems that that one move to assign the rights to subfolders in my user account corrupted all of the font files. Regardless of having tried all of the various ways to fix the system caches and pref files nothing worked to get my user account and the admin account back to normal.
But here's something I didn't expect and maybe it will save someone the hours i wasted. After I created a new account and assigned admin rights, I was still having problems with launching my Adobe applications: "Error 150:30 Licensing has stopped working..." So I uninstalled my entire Creative Suites apps and reinstalled them. This fixed it for the new user account.
But get this: when I went back to the old "corrupt" user account, it was now working again also! Including FCP and Motion and all of the word processing and Adobe apps. I've been editing on them all day and knock on woodhead it all works perfectly again.

Font Will Not Install

I work for a catalog company and we use the Adobe CS3 suite. After a machine meltdown I had to reinstall my system OS and Tiger Upgrade. After doing so and running one of my catalog pages in indesign I received a ton of missing font errors. While I was able to go to the archives and load some of these fonts, others that We have used in the past(and they have to be used because they are used for product titles) will not install. I open font book and click on add fonts, but when I navigate to the folder that has the font i need(transfered from a server to my hard drive) that font is ghosted out to where i can not select it. One Example is Eurostile Bold Oblique
thanks

I'm guessing your example of Eurostile Bold Oblique is a printer outline font from a Type 1 PostScript font. If so, you don't have the whole 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.

Can Custom skin download font if not installed?

Hi
I have an ADF BC application written in JDev 10.1.3. It uses a customer skin so our various customers can implement their own look and feel. One of our customers requested the Futura font which worked fine on my PC because I have the futura font installed but when I deployed it to the custoemr the skin reverted to a different font because Futura was not installed on their PC.
Is it possible to have an ADF page download a font if it cannot find it installed?
I found this html code which is supposed to achieve that
<STYLE TYPE="text-css">
@font-face (
font-family:familyName;
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
src:url("someFont.eot") )
</STYLE>
Is it possible to integrate the above code into an ADF page?
thanks
paul

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
I read the link that Frank posted and read a little bit around the subject of web fonts. It seems that this feature is not widely supported by browsers and indeed I am using FF2 and could not get John's suggestion to work. Our customer uses primarily IE and FF and it seems that this feature is not currently supported by either of those browsers. IE only allows use of the EOT font format and FF3.5 supports web fonts but is still in beta.
It doesn't look like we are going to be able to implement this feature for our customer so I might have to ask them to select a [web safe font|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_safe_fonts]
thanks

Why are some font styles not available in the Typewriter function?

I would like to use Arial Narrow Bold, however it is not listed. I do have this font style in C:\Window\Fonts but it does not show up when I use they typewriter function. I am able to use this font style in Adobe when in the forms field. Is there a way to update the fonts available for the Typewriter?
Thanks for any advice!

I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.

All add-ons / extensions are missing as if not installed. (ff4.0.1)

I'm currently using Firefox 4(.o.1). when i checked the add-ons manager, in the "extensions" tab, there are no extensions and it says here "you don't have any add-ons of this type installed". i've restarted the browser a few times and my laptop once, and no changes at all except for one lucky time when it seems normal. i don't know whether it is there but no one can see it or what. i've been using adblock plus and so far, i see no ads/popups.

Just try to install (any) new add-ons and restart firefox.

Find all packages that are in cache but not installed? [solved]

Is this possible? Basically, I copied over my /var/cache/pacman/pkg from another machine to a fresh install to save re-downloading 1+ gigs of packages. Can pacman compare the installed packages to those in cache so I can see what I forget to install on the new machine (I got most of them)!
Last edited by graysky (2009-08-23 09:43:41)

The answer to your question is probably something along the lines of:
for pkg in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*$(uname -m).pkg.tar.gz; do [[ -e /var/lib/pacman/local/$(basename ${pkg%-*}) ]] || echo $(basename $pkg); done
However, I'd suggest another approach. Create a list of explicitly installed packages on both systems and compare them.
To generate a list of explicitly installed packages you can use (on each machine):
pacman -Qeq >packages
And then you can easily compare the two lists with:
diff -up packages1 packages2
