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.
Info:
Mac Intel dual core, OS 10.5.8
Somehow my Arial font has gone corrupt. Firefox and any other program that uses Arial now replaces a Space character for every Arial character.

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.

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 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.
Fonts on screen are much smaller than printed versions. Can't hardly see onscreen & I'm sending resumes!!

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?

So much to my surprise, I open up my gmail account and it's practically unintelligible. Some weird cartoon like font is my default font. As far as I can tell, all the default fonts are activated and all the settings point to the activated fonts, but this is driving me absolutely F__KING bonkers. Has anyone ever had this problem? Now to be fair, I did install some fonts from a semi questionable font disk a week or two ago, so maybe some rogue font has hijacked my web fonts.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am quite new to Macintosh and struggle with the very small fonts in Leopard.
I use a mbp 15" with the native resolution and a second monitor.
I adjusted the font size in the preferences to a bigger font.With the finder and some software I am very sadisfied now.But there are still problems here and there.
When I use quick look in mail.app the font size is so tiny (small excel files), that even with the lupe function the fonts can not be read properly.
The same happens in other software, as the standard smallest font, used by leopard is just to small.
Is there any proper way, to adjust this globally?
I know. I know. It's been done to death.
But it's such a shame that fonts are SUCH a pain in OSX (auto activation, system fonts, conflicts, etc etc)... and then Leopard's "updated" FontBook was no bueno.
So sad.
Since then I've been TRYING DESPERATELY to love FEX, and now Fusion2 (which is a tad better, i think?).
So the question begs:
Will SnowLeopard do anything to help with the OSX font madness?
I have just made a software update and am running Mac OS X version 10.6.4.
After my update, the font in many programs like Safari and the PDFs in Preview has changed to a weird font that 1) is useless and hard to read and 2) does not support danish letters. The result is that danish letters are either disappearing or using the normal font.
This was never a problem before updating, so obviously I am rather frustrated. I have gone into the various preferences in both Safari and OS X and sought to change the font. I have also tried TinkerTool, but nothing seems to work.
Have you had any experiences with this?
As I can't upload images to this service, I am not able to show you how it looks, so if you send me an email, I will be able to reply with a screenshot.
The menu (the top menu bar, "right click" menu etc) fonts are WAY too big. I downloaded TinkerTool and already lowered the size of all the fonts it let me, looked around the settings in the OS itself but I can't seem to touch the menu font sizes at all.

I don't know anything about fonts (isn't that how I managed to delete my favorite?). Will anyone tell me how to reinstall this font? Is it possible to retrieve it from the Snow Leopard disk?

Is there a way that I can set the maximum font size? I want to limit the size of all fonts.

After installing snow leopard, Firefox refuses to display the font Trebuchet MS.
Am I the only one?
I'd like textedit to use a font that I choose everytime I open it.

How do I turn on a font that is marked off in font book?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having a problem with Firefox crashing recently. On Mozilla's forum, someone suggested that corrupted fonts can cause apps to crash. I opened Font Book to check on this. I was able to find and disable one font that Font Book listed as corrupted. However, there's another font that I think is corrupted but can't do anything about. Just clicking on the font in the Font Book window causes Font Book itself to crash! Is there any other way to disable this font (matura management capitals)? Can I just delete it from the Font folder in finder?

Recall, but can't locate it now, a freeware utility that converted PC fonts so that they were compatible with the Mac OS. This goes back a few years to earlier operating systems, both PC and Mac. I just downloaded 4 PC fonts I'd like to add to my current collection. Now running OS 10.6.3.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe oddest thing happened after I unplugged my monitor and other peripherals from my MBP. When I went to look at the desktop, my background image had been replaced by another image! When I went to the Desktop & Screensaver settings, the image had disappeared from there, too! Has anyone else experienced this?
In the meantime, if someone with Leopard could forward this background image to me, it would be much appreciated. It is the background with a picture of what looks like morning dew on grass that was featured at WWDC 2007 and in many of the Leopard ads [URL]
I bought an iMac, it had Mac OS X already installed, but I don't really know if BSD Subsystem was installed. I don't have the Windows Sharing option, my BSD.pkg file in Macintosh HD -> Library -> Receipts says its "Zero KB", but the "apropos" file is there. So, I don't really know. I inserted the Mac OS X installation CD, went to the "Optional Installs" folder and the BSD Subsystem isn't there, neither is in CD 2.
I tried executing the Mac OS X installation and I can't install it from there without first "erase and install" or something. Is there any workaround? I find it pretty weird that BSD wasn't installed and more over, that it is not even in my Mac OS X CD.
I did a quick search of the forums and didn't see anything - but after installing Snow Leopard there are some gaps in my Applications folder, however I don't have one of the "Incompatible Applications" folders on my hard drive so I'm curious as to which applications have gone missing, and why?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have run into after installing Snow Leopard on my machine. It is really the first complaint I have since I put the OS in on the 28th and I am just having time to sit down and toy around with it and I discovered this issue.
When I was playing around in a few Adobe applications, specifically Flash, it warned me when opening a project that I was missing a few fonts form the project and that they would be substituted.
Going into my font Library I looked for the fonts that it said were missing and confirmed that they STILL EXISTED in the folder. After double checking, I realized that a lot of my fonts were missing from the application.
After opening Word 2008, I noticed that a lot of my fonts missing from Word as well. I shut down Word and tried rebuilding the Font Cache by dragging the Word font cache file out to the desktop but Word did not rebuild it's font menu with the missing fonts.
Here's where it gets interesting. When opening an Apple application like Mail, all of my fonts that are present in the font folder show up. This is INCLUDING all of the fonts that are missing in Adobe and Word. Opening a program like Adium also shows that all of the fonts are there.
Assign applications to spaces. Assign an application to any space from its icon in the Dock with a click. Quickly spread your work out in different spaces by assigning an application to a space right from the Dock. Just right-click the Dock icon and select a space for the application. I cannot find this feature in the latest build.
