Writing Font changes from readible size to smaller size by itself, I am then unable to read it

When reading a web page in a readible font the writing will suddenly reduce to a smaller size, this will just occur by itself without any buttons being pressed

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Font changes from preview to printing

Is there a bug in iPhoto 8 that I haven't found related to font selection? My last two books have returned with a font at default size of 16pt for paragraphs- when I had selected 12pt.
Also type on the flap cover and page numbering came back as italic which I did not select.
In both cases I checked each book with a preview pdf prior to sending and they were as I wanted.
Suggestions please ?

Close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps. Also check in your User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder and empty it's contents if any.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why does the state of my fonts change from time to time?

Every few days/hours I have to go to FontBook and switch fonts off and on to have FileMaker Pro 5.5 behave properly with greek fields.
I don't understand: if once I've setup my fonts how I want them, why do they change by the next time I fire up FMP 5.5?
In any case, how can I set up my fonts once, and save them in a collection so that the next time a mess occurs I only have to click on the Collection icon and revert to how I want them? Sort of like clicking on a playlist in iTunes. So far, clicking on Collections I have created doesn't affect the on/off state of fonts.
Many thanks, as always.

Hi, Alex.
Are you running any "maintenance" software that performs a regular system cache cleaning? If so, that will enable fonts you've disabled. See the "How disabled fonts are handled in Font Book 2.0 under Tiger" section of my "Undoing Font Book" FAQ.
Cache cleaning should not be part of regular maintenance: see my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Good luck!

The text font changes and seem to get smaller

When I open firefox it is normal but as I am surfing the text seems to get a tighter font and a little smaller. If I reopen firefox it is normal again. Once a window or tab is affected all future displays are affected. If I use the back arrow on an affected page all the pages I go back through are affected. It is not a zoom issue because only the body text is affected and if I change the zoom I can not correct the problem. I have a picture of both a normal and affected window on the same web page but I am not sure how to include it this message

You can try enabling the option '''Allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selection above''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Content''' > '''Advanced''' (under '''Fonts & Colors'''), if it is not selected. You can also try to change the substituted fonts in the '''Serif''' and '''Sans-serif''' columns.
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel Options > Content]
To check if any of the fonts are missing in the system, type '''fonts''' in the Windows Run box (Windows key + '''R''') and enter. This opens the OS fonts folder which contains all the installed fonts.

How to Import Photos from iPhoto in a smaller size

I'd like to import some of my Photo folders to my iPhone but would like to import them in a size such as the iPhone screen or perhaps twice as big.
There is no need for the full size photo.
Similiar to when importing songs, there is an option to convert songs to 128 bits

I know that you can select a photo or several and select export that then saves it to a folder.
As for drag + drop into Quark ??????
I can copy+paste / drag+drop to Mail maybe you can try to ctrl click / right click copy and paste to Quark.
It could be a setting in Quark or they just need to upgrade it to work with Iphoto 6 ????
Hope this helps.

No. Trailers only use video clips. You can convert the trailer to a project in the File and use stills in place of the video in the iMovie project.

I need to change from mac os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then to mountain lion

do i have to buy and install snow leopard before mountain lion? helllllpppppp

Yes, you need to purchase Snow Leopard, from the Apple online store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - and the, from the Mac App Store, purchase Mountain Lion.
Make sure that your MacBook Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion -
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- and be aware that if you have any remaining PPC-only apps on your machine that they will not run under Mountain Lion - see http://roaringapps.com/.
Good luck,

Font change when converting a Word File

I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003. When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
What am I doing wrong?
The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard

Font changes automatically in Lotus Notes & Excel Find/Replace pops up

I am using Win XP SP3 and FF 14.0.1
I recently (last couple of weeks) noticed that, when FF 14.0.1 is running, the font size, color, bold and bullet will change automatically in Lotus Notes. Sometimes the font changes from normal horizontal to all vertical. And these changes can reverse while I watch or continue trying to type.
Also, in Excel 2007, the Find & Replace box will automatically pop up and keep popping up after I close it.
My IT support suspected Malware on my laptop and loaded & ran Malwarebytes on my laptop and it found two items which I removed. But the problem was still there. Next we reinstalled Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5.1 --- still did not solve the problem.
I began my FF troubleshooting by disabling add-ons one-by-one in the reverse order of addition (newest added was disabled first) until I got to the point before which I previously did not have this problem. But this did not find an offending add-on. (I still have these add-ons disabled.)
Next, I went brute force and restarted FF with '''ALL''' add-ons disabled (using the Help option to do so). This did '''NOT''' fix the problem.
Then I happened to find out that the problem went away -- completely -- if FF was NOT running. I have checked / verified this several times --- somehow FF 14.0.1 certainly appears to be the cause. As I recall I only experienced these issues AFTER I updated to FF 14.0.1
I hope a solution can be found -- otherwise I will no longer be able to use FF at work.

Would be great if files could be attached when questions are being created. I exceeded the max allowed characters when I tried to paste my FF troubleshooting info. So, I had to delete many lines. I saved the info in a file, but no way to attach it before the question is posted.

Font changing in Outlook 2010

Hi All,
Weird one here that Prof. Google cannot answer.
I've got a user who uses Outlook 2010 as part of Office 2010 and then getting email from a particular customer the reply font changes from the standard to Sim Sun and sometimes it's just the body of the email and sometimes also the header too.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and more importantly, how to stop it?
Thanks
Liam

Hi Aravindhan,
Yes, only from an external recipient, when emailing colleagues the font issue is not apparent.
The font of the inward email is Sim Sun, the font is not being changed at all.
Here is the diagnostics I have carried out so far:-
Repaired and reinstalled MS Office
Sending and replying internally does not replicate the issue.
checked the Font used by going to FILE>OPTIONS>MAIL>SIGNATURES>FONT, confirms this is not the issue.
Equally the 'stationary' being used is the default MS stationary within Outlook.
Changing the stationary doesn't improve or worsen the issue.
The issue is only present when using HTML as the email format.
I've logged into the users machine as them and not been able to recreate the issue by sending test emails to myself and others.
I have recreated the local user profile on the machine and the issue also persists.
Formats and Regional settings are all US under control panel except for the time zone.
The issue does not show on OWA.
No other user in that office has the issue, the issue doesn't stop the user from working, the user percieves it as not appearing professional hence their concern.

Convert to PDF w/out the font changing

When I convert my word doc into PDF using Adobe, the font changes from Futura LT to Helvetica. How can I convert to PDF without the font changing?
I need it to be Futura and Adobe apparently does not have that font.

Use the Press or Print job settings. They try to embed all fonts. I am assuming the font can be embedded (is licensed for that).

Font change after Leopard OSX installation???

I recently installed Leopard OSX and after I went online for the 1st time after installation, I noticed that on many sites (yahoo, yahoo mail, bing, youtube, etc.) the default(?) font changed from what I believe was Arial, to what looks like (believe it or not) a Brady Bunch style font for certain sections displayed on the page.
I went to the Font Book and Arial is there and isn't disabled, so I'm not sure how to get rid of the new default, and get the original one back. Any clues???
Thanks! ben

Font changing halfway down page

On PCs, my font changes from andale mono to Times New Roman after the first text box. So the top half of my pages are in andale mono, which is what I want, but the rest is in Times New Roman, which I don't. Someone suggested that there is a 'paragraph 2' default, which I would need to change. But I can't find any reference to this anywhere. Does anyone know how to do this? Or could it be some other problem? Everything displays fine on my mac. Thanks very much.

Thanks Wyodor.
I've sorted it now: what I did was to make all the text boxes links to the page they're on, which someone suggested on allaboutiweb. For anyone else with the same problem, you:
1. select the text box itself (not the text)
2. go to inspector
3. click 'make hyperlink'
4. click 'one of my pages'
5. select the page the text box is on.
That's it. God alone knows why this should work, but it does.
Thanks again to everyone for their help. You guys are terrific. x
