WoodtypeOrnamentsStd Font on Mac

Hi,
I just purchased this font. I've followed the installation instructions, placing the .otf file in Mac HD>Library>Fonts>, with all the other font files.
The name appears correctly in Adobe product font lists, but does not give the correct characters (just black dots or boxes with an x in them). In Word, it appears in the font drop down menu as a line of gibberish, although does appear correctly in the window when selected. It likewise gives incorrect characters as per the adobe products.
How do I go about getting it to work properly?
Thanks for your help!

There are two ways of accessing the glyphs in this font.
One way is through the Glyph Pallete, which is only available in InDesign and Illustrator.
The other way is by using Private Use Area (PUA) characters, which in this font are in the range U+E001 to U+E068. These characters are the chunk of "text" (yes, the boxes) that you see below. Copy & Paste it in the app, and apply the font. The result should look similar to what's shown in the image below. This method should work with any app, MS Word included.
There is yet a third way of accessing the glyphs, but it only works for the ornaments that have text (e.g. of, ONLY, AND), and requires an application that supports the OpenType feature called "Standard Ligatures". This method will work in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, TextEdit, and with the most recent versions of MS Word.

  • More (free) fonts for Mac OS X available?

    Hi,
    I find the actual collection of fonts available by default in Mac OS X a little bit too restrictive for some project I want to do.
    I'd like to know if there is somewhere I can fnd free (or relatively cheap) fonts for Mac OS X to add to my collection. Any idea?
    Thanks

    and maybe even assign key shortcuts to the above selections?

  • How can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro

    Hello
    I recently purchased mac book pro.
    Where and how can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro?
    thanks guys.

    Do you really need more?  OS X comes with quite a few already: Gungseo, HeadlineA, Nanum Brush, Nanum Gothic, NanumMyungjo, Nanum Pen, PCMyungjo, PilGi, AppleGothic, AppleMyungjo
    If so, just do a google search for korean unicode fonts.

  • Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

    Can I sync PC fonts and Mac fonts using Creative Cloud?

    Well, you should have a dedicated sync MIDI cable. Assign Logic to transmit MTC. Tell Cubase to chase it.
    Song settings>Synchronization>MIDI
    that is where you can tell Logic to transmit MTC. When routing back to Logic you shuld not expect significant latency and there are ways to offset it. The easiest would probably tell Cubase to run a little ahead of the clock. (Offset)
    So there is the Logic settings panel Cubase has one similar, for chasing. If you use a dedicated audio interface and transfer audio digitally from PC to Mac then you would want to have then synced via word clock. I would put Logic as the master here again.
    You're Welcome,

  • How to Access Font on Mac Floppy for PC?

    I have a MacBook Air and an iPad personally and a bunch of Dell deskstops running Windows 7 at work. I have a Mac 3.5" floppy containing a TrueType font that I need to use in the PC environment. I don't know if the floppy is 800K or 1.44MB. This font is not otherwise available. What hardware and/or software either on the Mac or PC side do I need to purchase to be able to make this happen?

  • Italic font on mac os 10.3.9 (panther)

    Our application uses a customized table cell renderer to show italic fonts for non-ediable rows.
    It works fine on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), but not on 10.3.9 (Panther). The renderer just shows plain text for the rows, rather than Italic.
    I have found this hint on the web:
    http://javatechniques.com/public/java/docs/gui/panther-font-problem.html
    Unfortunately, it doesn't help in my case. I don't have Office installed on my Mac and my ~/Library/Fonts directory is empty.
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    Couldn't get an answer so i gave up on it and did a search on the Yahoo website and someone had an answer. Thanks Apple for your help.

  • Persian font in MAC and WINDOWS.

    Hi
    I am using persian font (X-series) on my mac and I haven't any problem with these fonts.
    *:X series font are for pupular persian font like the B series.
    When i want to save my power point with a type that windows can read/write it the X-series persian font are missing and all of my ducument has a bad clutter!!
    I know that i can save my document as .PDF files but when I should do some changes on wndows office I need have good and famous persian fonts that are common between win and mac.
    thanks for your helps..........

    If you want to open the Powerpoint file in Windows, you should also install those fonts at Windows machine too.
    They won't show as nice as the Mac due to lack of text anti-aliasing on Windows, but they will work on Windows too.

  • Distorted fonts with Mac OS 10.6.7

    Hi everyone,
    This problem was probably documented already, but I'd like to know if there's a new solution coming from Adobe, since it's VERY annoying.
    After I print a PDF from Word, my text (set in Simoncini), appears distorded when opened with Reader. See image. When I open the PDF with Preview, there's nothing wrong with it. From some Mac forums, it appears that the new OS version is conflicting with Adobe. Do you think it's the case ? Thanks for your help in advance.

    There are font issues (usually postscript flavored open type) that is effecting OS X.6.7 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat. No solution other than going back to OS X.6.6 or messing manually with certain framework files which may make the OS not upgradable one the OX X.6.8 fixes the problem.

  • Fonts in Mac Mail

    I can't get mac mail to retain my selected font settings in new messages I compose. I can select font settings while composing a message but it reverts to the default settings for any subsequent emails.

    I have noted the same problem, as has a buddy of mine. Lets say you wanted and chose Helvetica Bold 14 pt as your message body font in the Preferences window, Fonts menu. No matter what we do in either of our Mail programs, when you create a new message it uses a 12pt plain (not bold) text. I am at a loss as to what to do except phone Apple.

  • Restoring Default Fonts without Mac Installation Disk

    I am stuck away from home on business and I mistakenly deleted some of my core fonts now some of my programs are not working correctly. Is there anywhere where I could download a file with all the fonts included in OS X 10.5 startup disk? I guess that it is possible to make a trip to the Mac store but the nearest one for me is a four hour bus ride... So ideally this would be avoided via internet if at all possible. (I would have guessed that the Apple page would offer this type of service but all I could find is a listing of the fonts that are "supposed" to be there)
    Any help please?

    no, this is not possible. distributing any parts of OS X via internet is a clear violation of leopard ULA. anyone who tries to do that on this forum will be quickly stepped on by the moderators. you need to get the fonts off the leopard dvd when you get it. and be careful what you delete.

  • How to convert PNG image to Vertor Image to make font on Mac

    Hi Mac People,
    I like to create a set of font, and I have made them in a image editing tool, I have FontForge downloaded but decide to use it to convert instead direct design them inside.
    So now I don't know how to convert the PNG image to vector image required by the FontForge, I read some post mentioned Ubuntu has utilities to convert, but I'm not sure OS X has that function too.
    Could anyone let me know how to convert PNG so I can create my fonts?
    If PNG can't, the software can export TIFF or jpeg or similar.
    Please help me, I need make them this few day.
    Thanks everyone for giving me a hand!
