OS X Mavericks :: How To Enable Large Fonts Feature In It

Sep 8, 2014

My mother just got an iMac 27". It is running at 2560x1440. However, at this resolution even on the big monitor the menu bars are quite as is the font on the menus. In windows which she used to use and which I use, there's a "Large Fonts" feature which increases the size of the font on menu bars, and the button on the window manager. 

However, I can't seem to find this feature on the mac. I increased the cursor size. I increased the default size of window content in safari etc. And can incr. the size of the dock. But no where can I find a "large font" feature. I can drop the resolution, but this is obviously a bad solution as this just makes everything fuzzy and ugly. Is there any way to preserve resolution and incr. menubar sizes/font sizes? The zoom feature is does not have acceptable behavior to conveniently incr. menu size (most of the time it zooms the menus right out of the frame, and the PIP mode is also poor)

MacBook Air :: Any Add-on To Enable Swipe Feature For Firefox

Jul 17, 2008

Now one of my favorite things about the air is the ability to swipe instead of clicking forwards and backwards. I'd like to try Firefox, however unless I can install some sort of add-on, allowing me to swipe, it's just not going to work for me. My question is, does such an add-on exist?

OS X :: SL - Scale Fonts In UI Really Large?

Oct 26, 2009

I've got a spare Mac I'm setting up in the living room as an HTPC (Plex is VERY cool, BTW). But I can't figure out how to scale everything really big so it's visible 10 feet away. I've got 128 px icons, check. 16 px is as big as the text will go. But all the menus are regular size. This was easy to do in Windows - can it be as easy in Snow Leopard?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Permanently Enable Fonts In Font Book

Jun 27, 2012

Until recently, all the fonts I have installed have been permanently enabled then a few days ago, I opened Pages and was informed that some of the fonts I regularly use in most of my documents, Optima Bold, Optima Italic, Optma Bold Italic, were not active - Optima Regular was. 

I went into Font Book and found that there were many fonts which were no longer enabled. I enabled them all and carried on with my work. 

But now, I have discovered that every time I reboot, these fonts are disabled again. Surely there must be a way to permanently enable fonts.

OS X :: Display / Graphics - Tiny Icons - Large Fonts

Jan 5, 2009

The display on the Mac computer at my work has been changed so that all the icons are very tiny, the fonts are very large, and when I move the mouse, the entire screen moves so that most of the time a part of the screen is hidden and I have to jiggle the mouse around to read everything - I'm not scrolling, it just automatically does it without me clicking. I am not really familiar with Macs but I do know how to get to system preferences, and I can't think what option might make the screen do that. It really makes the computer harder to use - does anyone know what it is? I also didn't see where I could make the icons bigger or smaller, it doesn't seem like the Desktop/Display really does it.

OS X Mavericks :: Using Restore Feature Reinstall?

Sep 10, 2014

My iMac (2009 version) OS 10.9.4 runs sloooow to start and load. It takes about 5 minutes before I can use my IMac.  I have used DiskWarrior, TechToolPro, and ran DiskUtilities repair permissions and disk a zillion times with no difference. I wanted to try "Restore" feature by starting up with Option key held down.  I do not use TimeMachine. I used DiskUtilites to repair permissions and disc with no difference. I note that there is a choice to reinstall new copy of OS X. Will that result in wiping out all my third party applications?

OS X Mavericks :: Dictation Feature Is Not Working

Aug 24, 2014

I have Mavericks 10.9.4  I'm trying to use the Dictation feature for the first time and I cannot get it to work. First of all, I downloaded the Enhanced Diction, ~750MB. Diction is 'on' and the enhanced dictation is enabled. When checking the internal microphone for operability,  I tried 'automatic and internal microphone'. It shows good activity when speaking.

Once I am in a field where I can add text, I will double click the FN key. I hear a 'one beep' sound, not the normal siri sound, and the microphone DOES NOT show up as it does on my other MAC. However, when I started the computer in safe mode (yea, I know the microphone is disabled), the microphone shows up in the text field. So this means, something is disabling my microphone in normal boot-up.

OS X Mavericks :: Why Does Font Book Keep Disabling Fonts

Jun 25, 2014

I've recently installed Mavericks (10.9.3) and noticed I have the same persistent issue I had in Mountain Lion (10.8.4), and if I remember correctly in Snow Leopard as well. Font book keeps disabling some fonts (mostly .ttf fonts though there are exceptions). I always reenable them, but after a reboot they keep getting disabled. I read somewhere that the font book preferences are easily corrupted but my install is just a few days old? Even so, I have place the plist pref file on my desktop, but to no avail. I have removed duplicate fonts, and Suitcase. I have cleared my font cache, after which some of the "problem fonts" disappeared altogether and some fonts were enabled as they should be. After closing and reopening Font Book all fonts were present but were - again - disabled. They're not some fonts I found on a dodgy site, but Google fonts, as well as some "respectable fonts" such as Futura. And it's not just the entire font family, but a couple of weights.

OS X Mavericks :: Possible To Remove / Replace All Serif Fonts

Sep 6, 2014

I struggle reading text set in serif fonts and I wonder if there is a way to get rid of them altogether. I don't want to see them in the browser, in PDF, or anywhere else. For example, when Safari opens a page requesting 

pt-serif-1, pt-serif-2, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

can make my system report the first two options as unavailable or pretend that they are by rendering Helvetica under that name? at the browser/style level or system-wide.

OS X Mavericks :: Search Feature On Preview Disabled After Annotating

Jun 20, 2014

Running Preview 7.0, upon opening a PDF I am able to perfectly use the built-in search feature to search text made readable by OCR. After adding a text-box/annotating within the document, however, the search feature is messed up: the document will return matching hits for my term, but they aren't highlighted within the document body and I get the "funk" alert noise when clicking on results in left-hand results column.  

Attempted fix: Printed the document as PDF.  Searching this document only will return results if text that I search was typed in one of the text boxes I added.

OS X Mavericks :: (10.9.4) Can Font Book Load Fonts From Custom Folder?

Aug 29, 2014

I would like to ask is it possible to load fonts into the Font Book of a MacBook Pro from a custom folder location, not from the default one? 

Why I need this is because I work as a Web Designer and I would like to share all fonts I use with my design team, and when I add a new font or some of them adds it to be available for all of us. Right now what I do is we have a shared folder on Google Drive and every friday we update it by Copy & Pasting our fonts into that folder and then after all of us has done this we go in and Copy & Paste back all of the content, that way we keep our fonts synced. 

What I was thinking is that if we can load the fonts directly from the shared folder would work really well to keep it in sync...

OS X Mavericks :: Font Book Disables Fonts Every Time When Restart Computer

Jun 25, 2014

First, some info on my computer:

- OS X 10.9.3

- Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 version 7.5

- Office 2011 14.4.3

- Suitcase Fusion 5 16.2.0 

As a graphic designer, I've accumulated thousands of fonts. In an attempt to clean this up, I recently purchased Suitcase Fusion 5. I transferred the fonts by going into Font Book and selecting "Restore Standard Fonts." I then took the Macintosh HD; Library; "Fonts (Removed)" folder and added those to Suitcase Fusion 5.  

Then I went back, and added about five of the removed fonts back into Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts — just because they are fonts I use frequently — as well as the Microsoft folder of fonts. 

Now, for some reason, every time I start my computer (I shut down every night before leaving my office) about half of the Microsoft fonts are disabled by font book. The next day I enable them and everything works well and they all show up in both my Adobe and Office programs, but I'd really rather not play that game every morning. Again, almost all of the fonts being disabled are in the Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts; Microsoft folder, but only until the Ms or so, after which point they all show up as enabled and work just fine. And then there are a couple of outliers I've marked with an asterisk, that are just in the typical Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts folder that are also being disabled, the most confusing one being ThirstyRoughTextures.ttf, because the rest of the Thirsty Rough family is working just fine. (This single Thirsty Rough file is the only of the five-or-so fonts that I added back into my library after restoring it to standard fonts that is acting up. The others show up in all programs just fine.) 

Fonts being disabled:

Adabi MT Condensed Extra Bold

Adabi MT Condensed Light

*Arial.ttf (in Fonts folder)

Arial.ttf (in Microsoft folder)

Baskerville Old Face

[code]....
