Wierd font mess when creating iphoto cards

Hello!
Here's the issue:
Every time I type in my text for a card and then I go to change the font or the font size it messes EVERYTHING (all the text anyway) up!. The wierd thing is that it doesn't change the text to the font I select, it changes it to ONE font below the font I select. So.... If I WANT say "Helvetica" I have to choose "Hiku" which is one below helvetica alphabetically, or if I want to choose say "Baskerville" then I have to actually select "Bookman". Very strange and frustrating! How can I get iphoto to accept the fonts i'm selecting? Selecting the font sizes does the same thing to mess everything up.

graphicdzine,
Sounds like a possible font problem to me.
I would recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's

Error message: Helvetica Medium outline font missing when creating PDF's. Where can I downlaod it and why is it suddenly happening?

OS? Version of ID?
This means that either you have an extra Helvetica Medium font installed and it's interfering with ID finding the T1 version, or the T1 version is damaged. I found this really old thread that explains it fairly well: http://www.asadesigner.com/22-indesign/2d812de56777cc90.htm
The good news is that it's probably only affecting the page information marks.

IPhoto: Error message when creating/buying card

How do I figure out which photo in an iPhoto card layout has a "null file name"? Error message says that I cannot purchase card due to a photo having a null filename.

Does the error occur when you preview?
Before ordering your book (or other project) preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered project will match it.
If it does then remove them one by one and preview until you find the ofending photos

Font issue when creating PDF from web page with Acrobat 8

I have a group of documents created with html/css that i am converting to pdf. Everything works slick except for some reason every HTML page that spans more than one printable page in the PDF the first page body text looks bold, the rest of the text (on the subsequent pages) is not. I have 15 documents linked together and its doing it for everyone one, first page looks bold rest of pages not.
I have checked all the font attributes in both the pdf and the html, there is nothing set to bold and all fonts have the exact same settings...
Does anyone know what is going on? I am pretty green with Acrobat but not new to web tech.
What am I missing here?
Also when printed it looks fine, no issues, issues only in screen view...
HELP!!
Thanks
Scott

It may be that the page sizes are varying and you are seeing a zoom affect. Try setting the size to a specific value and see if it looks the same. That's a guess anyway.

A basic question about font use when creating a banner ad in PS

I am creating my first ever web ad in PS (Mac, CS4). When finished, I'll Save for Web as a JPEG. The design is basically just some text superimposed over a photo. Am I free to use whatever font I choose? Or do I have to use one of the "web safe" fonts that (almost) everyone has installed?

the way u are creating it everything is rasterized... ie even the "text" is an image... so yes u can use what ever font u like...

HT203477 Font inspector when creating titles, do you seriously have to scroll in order to go to the font instead of typing the first letter?

There has to be something wrong with the font inspector.. When I create a title and I want to change the font I press the pull-down menu for all my fonts. The default font if Helvetica and I press the letter F to find Futura. The problem is it doesnt matter wich letter on the keyboard I press cause it automaticly goes to the top and i have to scroll thru all my fonts to find the one I was looking for. There has to be something wrong. Im new to fcpx but there is no way I cant just press the first letter of the font im looking for in order to go to "that" section. I press f-key to go to the section of the fonts that starts with the letter F.
Im going mad even the turds on youtube that have tutorials for doing titels are scrolling thru all of their fonts to get to the one they want.. seriously..?
Am I doing something wrong?

No you are not doing anything wrong. Perhaps it is like this because those single keys are shortcuts that the app uses, I do not know tho. It doesn't bother me. I stopped drinking coffee, perhaps...
Perhaps someone has (or will be) creating a third party Plug-In for this. Get rich!
No, really... here is what you do. Go to the Final Cut Pro menu and use the "Provide Final Cut Feedback" feature. They'll fix it the way you want.
Hope This Helps

Font color wont change when creating a proof book

I have never had any problems changing the font color when creating my proof books and all the sudden I can only get black text. Can anyone help I am in the middle of designing a baby book and
the design calls for pink and grey text not black.. If I am not mistaken I think I just did an update a week are so ago when the trouble began. Thanks Wezzy

The photos is the book tray are sorted by date. So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.

IPhoto card printing on 4 fold paper

I ran out of single fold paper and found a way to use iPhoto card themes to print on 4 fold paper. If anyone has an easier way, please let me know. Otherwise, the following steps worked for me (so I didn't have to go out in this rain to buy single fold paper.)
Creating iPhoto card to print on 4 fold paper.
In iPhoto, select picture(s), and select card theme.
In iPhoto, select print, and then PDF and save to desktop.
Click on desktop saved image and Adobe will show card.
Take 2 screenshots of card's outside and inside.
Import screenshots into iPhoto and then rotate the pics so they are upside down.
Drag both pics to desktop.
Click on one of the pics to bring up Preview.
After selecting print, use or create 4fold custom paper size for 8.5 x 5.5.
Check the Preview margins and adjust (request use full size of paper.)
Insert 4 fold paper with right side down and print the first side by side image up side down.
Turn paper around and reinsert into printer so that second upside down image prints on same side of paper.
Let dry and fold paper into a card.

Here's an easier way to get those screenshots of the front and back of the card into iPhoto.
Start a Print process, click on the PDF button and select the "*Save PDF to iPhoto*" menu option. This creates a 200 dpi jpeg file of each side of the card.

Thanks for your assistance.

Use the Edit ➙ Shot Fonts menu option to bring up the Fost selection pane.
From there you can select any font you have installed on your Mac.

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc?

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc? I can't open existing projects or create new ones. Nothing happens when I try to open a project: alsop, nothing happens when I click 'Create' when trying a make a card, book, etc. All very frustrating.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

I typed my email wrong when creating an account. How can i get my $15 itunes card credit back? help!

Hi Guys. Okay. Here is what happened. I was helping my friend create an account and he gave me his e-mail account but i accidentally misspelled it. It was a company email so i am certain that it has not been claimed since it ended with example (@companyname.com). My question is how do i go about retrieving my $15 dollar itunes card that we used when creating the account? Has anyone experienced this already? If so how did you fix it? I would really appreciate everyone's help. Let me know. Thanks in advance. =)

You have to contact iTunes support
They don't have a telephone call center
You can submit a form on expresslane.apple.com and an iTunes store advisor will respond with you over email

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photo book in iphoto?

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photobook in iphoto? How about adding text boxes?

Yes and no
You can not make a custom template nor can you modify one
You can do a page in other software and then print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and place the resulting image as a full page photo - See Old Toad's tutorial No.19 for more information.

How to create Business cards in Iphoto

Hi There:
Would anybody know if it is possible to create business cards in Iphoto. If not any ideas. Thank you.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You need a layout program like pages or pagemaker or InDesign

How do I select and format fonts when creating a web Journal in Aperture?

I am creating a web journal in Aperture 3.5.1. There is a not very functional way to create text boxes and add text interspersed with images.
I can open the font window, but highlighting text and formatting it in the font window has no effect.
In addition, the size of the font actually changes from paragraph to paragraph for no apparent reason.
How do I format text when creating a web journal?
After I have created the web site, I can open the html file and edit the source code, but this is very tedious.

Hi
Do You mean by "front" and "back" mean beginning of movie versa the end of it
or Picture in picture effect - zooming into one photo then to another ?
There is a picture in picture function in iMovie'09 - but very basic and
to move around in a photo You got the "Ken-Burns effect".
Still to do this with 100% control there are only two good alternatives
• QuickTime Pro ($30 QT-Pro update) - Hard to use very demanding
• FinalCut Express ($199) - Hard to get up and running
(Steap learning curve to start with) - Then Pic in pic is dead easy.
