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.

Some Font styles not available on solaris

Hi,
I am developing a Java application on windows with the plan of running it on solaris eventually. It is starting without error on windows but, when I ftp it to solaris and start the program from an xterm I get the following error which is repeated a number of times:
'Font specified in font.properties not found [-urw-itc zapfdingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-sun-fontspecific]'
The application runs fine but I am wondering how I can fix the error appearing in the xterm. I know there is a setFont function that I can set the Font to something like 'Dialog' that is common to both operating systemsbut I have tried this and the same message appears. I cannot setFont for the line 'JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, STRING, "Invalid entry", JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);' so this doesn't seem to be working, the error still appears. Can you offer any help? if not then can anyone suggest who or where I might try to get help from?
Thanks
Conor

Chart Expert - Why are some formula fields not available?

I have a report where I had to do Running Totals with formulas. Following what I learned long ago from the documentation, I laid in my formulas, and then setup some "Display" formulas to print out the results at the end of my report.
Now I am adding a chart to show a sort of 'summarized' version of the report - its a simple Pie chart...
But when I go into the Chart Expert and want to select those Display formula fields (there are 4 of them) - they do not appear in the list?
FYI - These four Display formulas are in the Report Footer of the report, and my chart is in the Report Header.
Why do some of my formula fields appear in the Chart Expert "select field" list - while others do not?
I checked the documentation on this, but it is very "lite" and does not indicate why this might be...
Any help is most appreciated!

Read again - "Problem has been circumvented" NOT "worked around". In other words, when you pay a fortune for a poorly documented piece of software and you are dependent on answers from a Forum, where at times no one answers your question(s) and your boss is shouting at you as to how you selected such a lousy piece of software with such "lite" documentation and is hardly going to pay any more money for a support call to answer a simple question that should have been covered (and then some) in the documentation, (let alone support of the problem) - you CIRCUMVENT, i.e. give up and find some other way to do what you were trying to do.
Hence, problem circumvented, NOT worked around.
Thanks for asking - here's 10 points for your efforts.

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.

Why Are Some Of My Downloads Landing In The Trash?

Why are some of my downloads landing in the trashcan? I just went to empty my trash can and when I opened it up I found about 5 files that I downloaded just last night. Why would my personal and important files have found thier way into my trash can?
Blessings,
Damon

sometimes, depending on how the file was compressed, the .zip or .sit files will go into the trash once uncompressed.
are the uncompressed files still in your download location? (desktop, download folder, etc.)

Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63

Hi!
Why is Ovi Maps 3 not available for the E63 an 410.21... for the old OS 400....
was OVI Maps available.
I got an license for ovi and now it is not running ;-(
Have any one an idea... thanks

Currently there is something very seriously broken in the latest firmwares, Maps 3.0x SIS files or Nokia Maps Updater. Until Nokia gets their problems sorted out, the only way to restore Maps 3.x after factory reset or firmware update is to use a version meant for previous generation devices, like this one (thanks to the user ovikovi).

Why do I get a not available in the UK message when it is available??

http://is.gd/dQudN (Short version of http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ukeylove-june-2010-podcast/id312414447?i=8522 8289)
Gives a "this item is not available in the uk" but when you ignore it then you can download?
So people might think its not available when it is what am I doing wrong? Short links have worked before

The short URL appears to bounce you on to
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/u...447?i=85228289
and obviously this isn't a valid Store URL. I've no way of further checking the short URL. Possibly you don't: I should try making another one.

Why are some fonts not available?

I have found that there are fonts in HD>Library>Fonts that are not showing up in any Collection in Font Book and are not available in apps that I'm working with. Font Book Help does not address this problem.
Some help with this, please?
Peter

What types of fonts are they? If they're Type 1 PostScript, this may be the problem.
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But from the sounds of it, 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.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
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 will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

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

Font style not available on select machines (Captivate 5)

Cap community,
For most of our projects, I selected Lucida Sans as the default font for most caption types. Internally we would hand a single project file off between 2-3 different people and didn't have any issue until recently my boss does not have the Lucida Sans Regular font style while at least three others of us do.
Below and left is a screenshot from my machine that shows the Regular font style. Below and right is a screenshot from my boss showing the missing Regular font style.
The obvious thing to check is that she does in fact have the same font family and not just the Italic, Demibold Italic, and Demibold families. However, we both have the same font on our Windows > Fonts folder. Here is a screenshot of that font from the Windows font viewer. The font name is Lucida Sans Regular (TrueType) and the filename is LSANS.TTF (oddly enough, the font viewer describes it as OpenType even though the name in Windows Explorer reads TrueType... but this is the same for both our machines so it doesn't appear to be a different variable).
We even carefully uninstalled her Lucida Sans font family and copy/pasted my font file to her machine to ensure we had the same one, and still no joy. Has anyone run across this issue? Seems like it could be either a font issue or Captivate, but leaning toward Captivate since we feel relatively sure that we have the same font.
BTW, as a result of this difference when she opens the .cpx project file I'm working on it replaces all the Regular font styles with her Demibold or Demibold Italic, which throws everything off if she wants to publish to swf or Word doc.
Best,
Danny

Hi Danny
Two things:
First, please submit this as a bug to Adobe using the Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form (link is in my sig)
I say this because Adobe needs to be aware of this issue. And it relates directly to my second thing below.
Secondly, I've seen others report missing fonts and such that were present in Captivate 4 but not in Captivate 5. To date, I don't recall seeing anyone from adobe answer any of these threads with a reason or a solution. So I'm hopeful that by all affected reporting this as a bug, someone will finally hear back from Adobe on the issue. If that happens, I'm also hopeful that one of these threads will be updated to advise why this is happening.
Cheers... Rick

Why are CS5 student products not available as downloads?

Does anyone know why preordering a Creative Suite CS5 student version in the educational store can not be delivered as a download? (Downloads are available in the ordinary store)?
Christopher

Probably because of the required eligibility checks. But it may be a lot nicer to have the physical media in hand. Makes it a lot easier to reinstall after a disk failure or corrupt installation.
