Why do most of my fonts in Keynote track extremely tight?

I am using Keynote '09 (5.3) on a MacBookAir. Most any font I choose (other than the standard fonts loaded in the templates) seem to track so tightly, any word seems to appear like a blob. The font is recognizable but the kerning is like negative 100! I cannot control this 'tracking' either.
I found a post that offered to remove duplicates or re-install certain fonts but this should not be the issue--nearly ALL my fonts are affected this way!
Any help will be appreciated.
Scot

Thanks Gary!
Before trying your solution, I launched Keynote again tonight and got this error (below). After the Safe Mode/Permissions Repair, Keynote displays the fonts correctly.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

You can't set a default font.
Instead use a custom slide master with the font you want to use.

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel. I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine. I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets. Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file. How nice. Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably: what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
I especially dislike obtaining erratic results: most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not. Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features. However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
(I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)

I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom. Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata." I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
So I'm asking:
1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output? I can't find that Adobe does.
> Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
I did export the keywords into such a list: most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
My concern is not that the brackets are there. They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
> ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
I haven't, either.

Is it possible to embed fonts in Keynote theme?

I've created custom theme for Keynote'08 and everything works fine.
My theme uses corporate fonts.
At the moment the theme is distributed with additional font pack and the user have to install both, but I'd like to simplify the theme installation process.

Got it, and it make sense...
I was thinking about something like adding fonts to theme-files folder,
but well, I can live without this "feature".
Thx Your for the answer.

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

They have a huge investment in it and would need to replace or discontinue a number of products that they paid quite a bit of money for.
On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.

Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad?

There is never any guarantee that automatically generated html will look right on every browser, especially Explorer. For max compatibility with MS stuff it's best to use Office to start with instead of iWorks.
I don't know whether you could manually edit the Keynote html to make it work better with Explorer. It would be interesting to know whether it looks right in Windows Safari, Chrome, or FireFox so you could know whether only IE does it wrong.

Are fonts in Keynote displayed in pixels or points?

Are fonts in Keynote displayed in pixels or points?

An interesting point which I never considered since I create my own designs using CSS.
I have always assumed that its pt. since we're taking print media here. This seems to be the case since the author of this Apple Training series book presumably knows!

Select the entire body level text box and change the font to Gill Sans, Regular, 36 pt. Make the font color the same dark red that you stored earlier.

Serbian characters š,đ,č,ć,ž are not included in most of the fonts

Serbian characters are not included in most of the fonts in Adobe products and its bad for creativity. I wonder what can I do to change this? Where to start? Any advice?

Your kindness has inspired me to write this article

. Although we do not understand Serbian language, you can translate it into
Google.

Yeah, most of those are not Adobe fonts and don't come with the Creative
Suite or Photoshop.

Why are there chinese character fonts overwriting my fonts?

At the bottom of my font list are a bunch of Chinese character fonts. The list seems to grow over time (it's gotten a lot larger lately). When I select most of these fonts they work and display as standard alphabet characters but I don't use them. How do I delete these? I'm trying to clean up all my fonts and I hate these.
Note: in the Library files (mac OSX) these fonts do not show up as Chinese charters, they display as standard font names. So I have no way of knowing the name of the font, so I can't find it and delete it.
Help?

"I have no way of knowing the name of the font" : Try Illustrator/Preferences/Type and check Show Font Names in English.

Hello, check in the character panel (window>Character) or (type>panels>character) it seems that your faux italic option is activated.

HT203175 Why can most of my Original Files not be found ?

Why can most of my Original Files not be found ?

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Why are most apps only for apple products?

Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there. Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple. Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

Hi
Assuming that you purchased Logic from the Appstore, did you download all the additional content?
Go to the Logic Pro menu and choose "Download Additional Content".... there's loads to download, so it is probably best to do it in batches.
