Why did you screw up Helveticas???

I just had my computer at work upgraded to Leopard. The biggest problem we will have is going to be with fonts. Everyone has the complete family of Helveticas that we need to use in our everyday work. But now, half of our Helveticas are unavailable, because the Leopard OS is using dfont versions of these things with the same IDs!!!! This knocks out any Helveticas we need to use.
I now have client work that I cannot complete because FontAgentPro cannot get these needed fonts to open and be recognized on the system.
And Apple's Helveticas cannot be removed. Why not stick with the Lucida Grande and such. Or with New York or Geneva?? Why get in the way with the most used corporate ID font in the world?
Thanks lots!

Hi Timothy,
Read my article, Font Management in OS X. Section 4 explains how to remove Apple's versions of Helvetica. This is an update to an earlier version of the article, so it's still in draft mode. But it's also pretty much final.
The link, or one of the links above directs you to my personal web site. While the information is free, it does ask for a contribution. As such, I am required by Apple's rules for these discussions to include the following disclaimer.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Hi,
Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
Note the Number
At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
Jive are the only real players in this market.
To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
I post mostly about iChat.
I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor.
That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-

Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore. I organize my photos inside albums by events. Why? Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums. So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track? I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web. What's up? When will this be coming back? Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco. I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel. Help me out here please. Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums. Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

Also note that the option is available in...
'''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

Why did you go into IT?

Why did you go into IT?
The reasons I went into IT are as follows:
1. I already knew programming before going to College, and thought it would be easy learning computers in College!
2. I liked programing and working with computer applications.
3. I wanted to travel, working all over the world, and thought that I would be able to get a job in many different countries in IT.

I don't know fortunately or Unfortunately, How I found my self in IT!
Since Childhood I was complete sports person. I represent U-15, U-17,U21 for Rajasthan. I splurged my whole teenage all in Cricket. In My education I had one year Gap only because of we had to visit Sri lanka for couple of matches against Gale Sports Club (Formerly known as President Academy).We were lost with huge margin. I was scattered and complete disappointed, however right after I got selected in National Squad (only for training camp).But still meanwhile I managed myself to get admission into Engineering (Yes on payment seat ). I was below average student in subjects of science but at the same time I was crazy about Maths (Only because I used-to to count Runs and Required Rate all the time ).
So the year from "99 to "03 was the key for my career (with aspect of sports and education wise both).In First Year of Engineering I through without any Compartment. But In Second Year I got stuck in 2 Subjects But I was least bother about this as my sports career had not been affected. Yes Due to sports my Education career had always been penetrating.Guys believe me in my four year of Engineering life I only wrote one Program from myself which was Swapping the values of A and B without using third variable, that was in C++
However,Finally by hook or crook I managed my self in 03 in Final Year(Yes Final Semester too, No compartment Had Been carry forward ) In my through Life, I only took myself away from Cricket in Final Semester because now I wanted to Through in my Education. Only because my instincts and somebody says from inside I spend 3 and half year with cricket and Education so I must through when my Ship was almost on the shore.
Finally I got a chance to work in company where SAP ECC was about to Implement. I donu2019t know from where I got inspiration and courage to work rather than sport but yes I preferred to work there. Since now Iu2019m in SAP and I left a Cricket way back. But yes still I used-to manage to play over the week-ends, only when time allows.
And now Iu2019m the only SAP person in my project that has handling FI-CO and ABAP stuff, yes sometimes Basis too
Cheers,
Amit.

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

Why did you change the event calendar?

I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

Why did you kidnap me away from opening my home page and force me to your "introductory" pages that I did not want to see?

When I opened my Firefox browser this morning, I was "kidnapped' and taken away from my home page and forced to deal with your introductory pages about the "new Firefox." Why did you do this? I already have a mother, so I don't need another one. If it happens again I'll mostly change away from Firefox.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

Why did you remove the "small icons" button from settings?

I need this function.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
