I'm tired of seeing websites in Arial, and I never use Arial anyway ... How do I replace Arial with Helvetica? So far I've completely deleted Arial from both /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts, but it still shows up in Safari and it still is an option in programs like Text Edit.
When I open FontBook and click on Arial reg. I get a blank window. Recently, I was having a lot of system font conflicts so I installed Fusion 3. Now my arial font is gone and I need to replace it. Additionally, I deactivated all the unnecessary fonts from fontBook but they still show up in the type dropdown list when I use Photoshop and Illustrator.
For some reason, the font Arial is not showing up in my documents, most notably Office documents. The folder is there in my Fonts Library and the standard system fonts check out ( I ran the restore standard font function), but still it does not show up. I am running OS 10.7.
How do I delete helvetica from font because whenever I try to type a list or numbered list helvetica is always default even though I changed the default font's in preferences.
Anyone have an idea on what's up with this?In Mail. Compose new message. Fonts. When I choose ARIAL and BOLD? I get TIMES NEW ROMAN Any idea as to how to change this? I've spent about 2 hrs of my life I won't get back so far. Have no idea where to look. Or why it does this.
I know this problem has probably been discussed and I've searched but have not been able to find good information. Main computer still running 10.4.11, MBPro running 10.5.8.
I'm a retired graphic designer, only now doing pro bono work, so not completely up to date. Since leopard and snow leopard there are a number of font problems. Type 1 Helvetica Neue has been a standard of mine for 20 years. Likewise, Adobe Garamond Extra glyphs are in thousands of my files.
10.5.8 AGE characters do not show up. I installed 10.6 and they still don't show up. Any way to fix? Also, any way to fix the Type 1 Helvetica Neue/ Snow Leopard conflict?
When I open pages it always uses helvetica as the default font.Can i set it to a different one like times new roman as a default.I mean you can tell it to start up by default to a specific page style, why not a specific font also?
In Mac OS, it seems that Helvetica is a common-default font (Mail, etc.) and I really like the look of it, etc., but I am wondering if my Windows-using-peers will be able to see the same font when I send over Word/Excel documents in that font? Or will it convert to some other font for them?
Ok. I was bored one day and was looking for ways to tweak my dock and i found this: [URL]
I followed the steps under "Restyle Dock Background" Unfortunately... i tried to get the 'invisible dock'. It unfortunately worked.... i hate it and want to change it back....since i replaced the files...i don't know what to do.
So now i have this weird dock and do not know how to replace it.
I don't know why I'm having issues replacing and updating an app on my admin account. I tried replacing an app and I get this error message about permissions when I set full read and write permissions on my account which is an admin account.
I have a powermac g5 2.0 dual, and I was wondering if I could replace it with a 2.5ghz cpu? Could I just swap the processor chips, or would i need the entire processor? I know the 2.5s were liquid cooled.
I have an early Mac Mini with OSX Server installed. I'd like to pass it on to my son, but want to put the original OS back on the box first. Unfortunately I can't boot from the CD - the machine just spits out the disc when I try to boot from it with the 'C' key held down.
I'm assuming that OSX server is preventing an 'upgrade' to the desktop version?
I can't find the server CD that the machine was originally configured with, so can't use disk utility to erase the system disk.
I have a bit of a problem, I'm in the middle of replacing my dead 80GB hard drive in my beloved PB G4. It has however thrown me a bit of a snag as the bracket that holds in the hard drive has two screws that look like they may be stripped. They're in there pretty doggone good and I'm using a 00 screwdriver with no avail. I'd like to get this drive out and get on with the new drive and replacement...and eventually get on with my life but I can't get the doggone drive out.
The hard drive on my Macbook 4,1 is way too slow for me now. I want to replace a SSD III or II onto my Macbook. Does SSD III or II work on Macbook 4,1 White Early '08?
I just got an ad in my email. I can get a 12GB SSD with up to 559 MB/Sec speed for $155. Can I replace the HD in my iMac with such a drive? I might then get an external enclosure for the original drive.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I have a MacBook with OS X 10.4. My parents got a computer about 3 years ago that has OS X 10.5. I was looking through the software discs, and saw a couple for the installation of the 10.5. Now... my question is this: Would it be at all possible for me to install those discs for OS 10.5 on my MacBook?
I recently replaced the 4GB with 8GB of ram in my 2010 MacBook Pro. However, the system only recognizes 4GB installed. Went back into the computer and now the top memory card is stuck and would not release to come out. What can I do to fix this problem?
I seem to have lost Disc 2, and need to download x11 in a big way. I run Tiger 10.4 (PPC) on my mini, so I can't download X11 from the web. How do I go about getting another copy of Disc 2?
I got the i7 MacBook Pro and want to replace the stock HD with SSD. I am thinking whether to wait for thanks giving time for a better deal on SSD or go ahead and bite the bullet.
I have a Rev. A with broken hinges and since it has a small dent in the righthand side, Apple woun't fix it (I have already had a fierce discussion with Apple regarding this matter, so please no comments about extended warranty ;-)
On eBay it is possible to buy a set of new hinges including the grey piece of plastic that breaks with the hinges. Is it possible to replace the hinges on a Rev. A with these spares?
Would love to keep my Air as second machine beside a iMac 27" or Mac Pro.
I am having some trouble with my Powerbook G4. I am pretty sure my hard drive is failing but want to get some other opinions before I start replacing stuff. Over the last couple days the HDD starting make strange noises (clicking a lot, along with other undescribale noises). I am wanting to hold off buying a MBP until after Leopard is out.
I am wondering a few things: 1. Is my diagnosis of bad HDD right? 2. How easy is it to replace the HDD with a new one (seems pretty easy reading instructions from ifixit.com) 3. Will any 2.5" ATA drive work? 4. I installed OS X on a firewire drive before the internal drive died but now it will not boot. Am I right in assuming once the new drive is in I can pop the Install disk in and install OS X? 5. Am I forgetting anything? Any tips?
Over the last half hour or so, I've heard a couple intermittent click type sounds coming from my Mac Pro, when this happens, the apps I'm accessing start beach balling for maybe 10 seconds or so and then finally go back to normal. It certainly sounds like a hard drive noise, and the fact that it causes my apps to freeze up leads me to believe it's my boot drive (I have the standard 250GB drive that came with the system as my boot drive with all my apps installed, and then I have two 1TB drives in a mirrored RAID for my home directory)
The SMART status on all 3 drives check out fine, so I don't know of a decent way to pinpoint for sure which drive it is, but I want to nip this in the bud. Does anyone have any suggestions on if I can do anything else to check? It's only happened twice so far and it's been a while since the last time it happened, but I don't want to wait until it's too late. Also, what's the best way to replace my boot drive without having to do a reinstall of the OS? I've never had to do this before on a Mac...
I read news that Samsung is already coming out with 256 GB SSD drives. I'm imagining that Apple will start putting those into the Air mid next year, and wonder what are my chances of being able to replace the 128 GB SSD drive (this is assuming I purchase an Air in the next few weeks) myself when the new ones come out? I remember there have been some threads related to swapping drives on this forum in the past, but none dedicated to those new 256 GB SSD drives, as far as I can tell.
I recently broke my Macbook's LCD. For some odd reason I followed guide to opening the top case first before I replaced the LCD. Well I've managed to put everything back together besides two things. I can't get the microphone cable . or the inverter cable, back into the logic board. Do I have to use a special computer glue to get them back attached?
my local Apple store replaced the horrendous chipping keyboard on my original Apple refurbed 1.83 GHz Core Duo Whitebook. It feels a lot better now but I can't help but wonder how long it'll be before this new keyboard starts chipping away too, especially considering the well documented issues with the plastic Macbooks.Just as a point of information, my Whitebook is maxed out at 2GB RAM with the stock 60GB HDD and combo drive. My wife and I use this laptop pretty much daily for HOME use: typically for surfing, email, iWork stuff and Parallels/XP stuff. Outside of that, we don't do anything really CPU intensive on it - although the fans will kick in if I have too many Safari windows open, watching a video or doing something in Parallels. I do have Logic, Garageband '09 and Ableton Live installed and intended to do music on it, but I really never use them on the Macbook because the 13" screen seems a bit too small to effectively do anything with them IMO.
