Why is InDesign preventing me from using a font I own?

Years ago I bought a collection of OPTIfonts which I still use on occasion. InDesign today is not letting me use OPTI Calculator, a digital alarm clock face. It either won't recognize it (even though it shows up in the list of fonts I activated, or somehow is blocking from use. WTF?

I don't know if this is the same Opti font or not...
If you installed it while ID was running, perhaps a simple exit and restart of ID will cure the issue.
ID is notorious for not liking fonts that are (or at least ot it are) corrupted. If your font previously worked, I would unintall it, reboot to clean out the font cache memory, reinstall it and see if it is now working. Then again, usually ID won't even list such fonts.
If this is the first go with this font, and depending upon the download, it is possible it was always corrupt and just now showing its problem. If the above font is the same as yours, let me know via a PM and I can get you a copy.

  • How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

    How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
    O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
    When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
    I have two tables: table A and table B.
    Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
    I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
    There is an index on this column in table A.
    So I instead of
      where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
      where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
    When I use the join in a select statement it works.
    But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
    When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.
    Regards Hartmut

    I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
    Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
    But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

  • Prevent firefox from using HTML5 player in Youtube.

    How do I prevent firefox from using HTML5 player in youtube and use flash player instead? I am not sure what advantage HTML5 has over Flash. I noticed that Flash plays smoother than HTML5 and there is also a difference in quality of the video at low resolution. HTML5 does not seem to have smooth streaming compared to Flash. I may be wrong and I am ready to learn the advantage of HTML5 over Flash. But until then I wish to revert FF to its previous behavior of playing in flash.
    If there is no way of bypassing this player (html5), how do I set it to ask before I allow it to play the video? I dislike videos playing automatically as soon as I open the link or any websites (reason why I set Flash player to 'ask to activate').
    Thank you for your generous help. :)

    I found info here
    * http://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/17/google-enforces-html5-youtube-firefox-33-newer/ <blockquote><snip> .... What this means is that Google will enforce the use of HTML5 video on YouTube for all Firefox users who use Firefox 33 or newer on their system to do so (Note this means Firefox Nightly currently, but on Tuesday also Firefox Aurora).
    Update: Google seems to have delayed the change. Firefox 34 users can switch players right now on the site. .... <snip></blockquote>
    In fact must choose earlier than 33 so I used

  • System Administrator preventing me from using App World.

    I have a blackberry curve 9300 3G but when I try to use app world,it says system administrator is preventing me from using it. Why is this? And how can I use app world please?

    HI and Welcome to the Community!
    Based on what you say, your BB is enrolled in a BES environment, and the administrator of that BES does not allow you to use AppWorld. You would have to talk to them concerning that.
    If you are not part of BES, then your BB may well previously in it's life have been so, but was never properly cleansed of the restricting IT Policy. You can check here:
    Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
    If indeed there is an IT Policy and you are 100% certain you are not part of BES, then you must take drastic actions. To begin, make sure you have a proper backup...you can find instructions via the link in my auto-sig on this post. Then, follow this:
    Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    After, when you restore, do not do a full restore...rather, only a custom restore of only those databases you require (e.g., contacts, calendar, etc.) but specifically do not restore any databases that have anything to do with IT Policy, Enterprise, or any similar thing. If you restore those, it will dutifully return the IT Policy to your device, and you'll be right back where you started.
    Good luck!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

    I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled.  When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name?  Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that.  I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)? 
    Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password?  That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me. 

    Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
    Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

  • Your computer systems firewall settings will prevent you from using AirTune

    I haven't used my airport express in a while and I just opened itunes with my airport speakers and I got the error message Your computer systems firewall settings will prevent you from using AirTunes. How can I fix this?
    Help!!

    I have this same exact problem and it is driving me crazy. I am running on OS X 10.4.11 and only started having this problem when I started using the express to join another network. I had always used it as the base but when I joined the wireless network I created with an airport extreme (just bought it a couple of days ago) I can still use the internet fine, and I can print wirelessly, but when I try to use the speakers wirelessly from iTunes it gives me that warning. I'ce tried opening up a whole bunch of ports on my computer but I have no clue how to correct whatever else needs correcting on the extreme.
    APPLE! We need your help!

    Have you tried restarting the iPad? You will more than likely be starting over again with the setup process but you may be able to use the "later" option if you start all over again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Is it possible to prevent users from using the ''Purge'' option from the ''Recover deleted items'' in Office 365?

    Hi,
    After speaking with a Microsoft engineer over the phone, I've been told that there is no way to prevent users to go to their OWA and manually Purge specific items from the ''Recover deleted items''. The Microsoft tech told us to place the desired mailboxes
    on a litigation-hold and that all data will be recoverable... but only from the time you place the mailbox onto Litigation-Hold and previous items, which doesn't take effect for new-coming emails. 
    1- From what I understand, any new items coming in the mailbox after the Litigation-Hold is put in place will still be ''purgeable'', right?
    2- Is there a way (PowerShell, Security group, etc.) that can prevent a user from using the Purge option?
    We are very surprised that there is absolutely no thread that talks about this issue, which in our opinion, is a major legal and security flaw from Office 365. This is a main concern for us to actually go with Office365. For instance, this means that at
    any given time, if a user exchanges emails with a competitor, they can manually purge emails sent and receive as soon as it is sent/received, even after Litigation-Hold is in place.
    Thank you for your reply and let us know if you have more questions.
    Normand Bessette, IT support technician, Newad Media

    Thank you for the reply.
    Is there still a way to prevent users from using the Purge option, like with a Powershell script to disable Purge?

  • HT1937 My new 5c is activated with Verizon - I can send receive calls, txts, and data (internet). My problem is that the 5c keeps giving me pop up warnings that the phone is not activated.  This is also preventing me from using the vmail

    5c is activated and live on Verizon. Call, txts, and data.  Issue is that 5c thinks that is is NOT activated - keeping getting pop up warnings.  Operationally this prevents me from using v-mail via iPhone app - i need to dial Verizon directly.  This phone is new and activated yesterday. Any ideas?

    Contact Verizon to troubleshoot the issue with them.

  • What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio?

    What's the best way to prevent KDE from using pulseaudio if it is required to be installed for gnome?

    KDE system Settings > Mulitmedia  (in Hardware category) > Audio and Video options > Audio Playback
    the default device shown there is the pulseaudio device, move it to the bottom of the list
    Check all sub entries under Audio Playback to make sure they all have default at the bottom.
    This SHOULD make KDE sound subsystem use the real hardware directly through Alsa instead of pulseaudio.

  • HT4528 How can I erase an iphone remotely due to it being lost to prevent someone from using it?

    How can I erase an iPhone remotely due to it being lost to prevent someone from using it?

    You have to have had Find My iPhone active on the device before it was stolen, and it has to be connected to the Internet via wifi or cellular. Log into www.icloud.com and see if you can locate your device. If it is offline, it means it is probably out of battery, the thief has turned it off. You can send a wipe command to the phone and if it does get connected, it will wipe the phone. If you did not have Find My iPhone active, there is nothing you can do.

  • Why does Apple prevent ipad from accessing Extreme hard drives?

    I have a very simple requirement.  I want to access my pictures from my NAS (Extreme with external HD).  While OSX can do this, Apple has prevented iOS from doing this pedestrian feat.  It is very frustrating and 'feels' like it was done to merely propogate Hard drive consumption by copying videos everywhere.  If Apple has to hang on this approach for their upgrade strategy, it is extremely weak.  The ipads/etc. don't have enough storage to even begin to support the video storage requirements and backing up to iCloud to have a latent solution is even more weak.  Even if I could get a 1TB I wouldn't do it as I don't want to stream HD videos that could be placed locally. 
    So Apple.  Why? And btw, if you don't have a good reason, just think about all those enterprises, etc. that want server file access. 
    Sincerely,
    Very irritated Customer.
