OS X V10.7 Lion :: Mail And Asian Fonts Set-how To Reset
Jun 16, 2012
I am attempting to remote support a client using Apple Mail. He has a Mac Book Air/Lion (not sure if 10.7.4 yet) but my email to him is getting interpted as Asian character set.Â
I'm thiking of looking within Mail/Preference/Fonts and Colors but the larger issue is what precipitated this in the first place. Shoudl I be looking elsewhere. Body of the text is Asian font set but the email address and other particualrs from him and me are English.Â
I have a Japanese font that I was using in Pages on my iMac (uses Mac OS X v10.6.8). I installed it onto my new MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7). But when using Microsoft Word, the font won't work. It's listed in the Latin Text Font list, but it doesn't show up in the Asian Text Font list. Is there a way to add the font so it'll be available in the Asian Text Font list?

I inadvertently hit some random key and can no longer see my mail in column view - the only way to see it is to go into File>New Viewer Window but this does not stay that way.
I use a macbook pro 13 inch unibody running mac os x lion. all latest updates.Â
the icon for the mail app on my dock is not working properly. it reads i have 6,000+ unread messages when i have 0.

I back-up my macbook (OSX10.4) to an Ubuntu box using the X11 terminal on my mac with rsync, however I'm having problems with Asian characters.
The Asian characters don't display in X11, which I can work around, however X11 interprets the characters in strange, seemingly random ways, which could include the carriage-return-key and other random hieroglyphs. This then causes a problem because when rsync compares the old and new copies of the files, it gets the names confused and thinks files have disappeared when they have not.
I usually keep my music files on my PC and stuff, but since I was thinking of getting rid of it, I transferred all my music files into my MBP. So I transferred it via a USB Drive, and what do you know, iTunes show some of my Korean and Japanese songs with broken-looking weird scribbles. It happens to only certain songs, and I really am confused. As you can see in the attached picture, some displays the correct characters, but some just looks weird. Like the bottom three songs show correctly, but not some of the top ones or the highlighted one.
However, both my iPhone and my iPods in the past showed ALL Korean/Japanese charcaters without a single problem. Is there any language pack that I'll need to be installing? Or is there some kind of encoding within the iTunes? I am currently using the latest build/version of the iTunes on Mac OS X Leopard running on Unibody MacBook Pro 2.53Ghz. The MacBook Pro is also up-to-date with any of the latest updates via Software Update. I should be asking at the iPod and iTunes section I guess, so if it really seems like it's an absolute must that I post in the iTunes section, please let me know.
Today, after using a signature in Apple Mail for the past few months, I discovered that my signature is HUGE when read by non Apple Mail users and that the text in my emails is in Times New Roman even though I set it to Helvectia by default.
Turns out this is a problem in Apple Mail, as setting a default font only affects what YOU see, not what the email recipient sees. This seems backwards to me. My emails have apparently been all unorganized for months now. I've sent out job applications thinking I had a sleek format...
Anyways, researching this, I read nearly every post in this google search, but still don't understand how to fix the problem. Apparently there's one "fix" involving stationary, and another fix where you begin typing right at the beginning of the sig...?
Can anyone tell me how to make my emails that I send from Apple Mail show up for my recipients in Helvectia and have the signature be in the same font size and Helvectia as well ? And no, clicking the "always match my default message font" button didn't do this, just in case.
I have personalised my signature with colours and different font sizes, but when I send emails to hotmail or any other account the text just appears in regular size, font and colour. The modifications do not work. I have not set up my other email accounts to block these kinds of messages but I can't seem to find a way of solving this in Mail.
fonts must be messed up in Snow Leopard. Some system things display strange fonts. For example, my user name in upper right hand corner of the screen doesn't look right.ALso, the font on the "tabs," in Safari is not correct, and I can compare it to other SL computers.
I have recently got some awesome collection of font from URL but as first time mac user i dont know how to install them on my mac book . I need to install them as quickly a possible for my designing project .
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 want to wach movies with subtitles with polish fonts. Unfortunately I can not see those polish fonts within subtitles on my Mac but can on Sony vaio.
Apparently I have some corrupted fonts which I have not been able to remove. I disable them, restart computer and some enabled again. Attempt to remove via comand, occasionally they appear in trash but some have the grayed out "remove font..."
I recently installed OS X Lion. In my users/name folder I had a folder I named "Fonts Unused" that was right under my actual Fonts folder, where I put different styles in that I wasn't using... to save memory. I put the styles in the normal Fonts folder as needed. Since Lion, those folders are all GONE! I'm talking hundreds of great fonts I'd collected over the years.
The Fonts I'm attempting to use were downladed from a reputable website I have done business with for years. Never had any problems using their stuff before on any platform: PC/Windows, Mac, Linux, or Free BSD. The Fonts are activated, but when I Validate them in Font Book I get the Message: 'Name' Table Structure [With a Yellow ( ! ) next to it]. What does this mean? How do I fix it? I can see the Fonts in Font Book, I can open them, Preview them, but I cannot use them in ANY application! They refuse to show up in the font list for Word, Pages, and even Gimp!   I see other people having similar problems, but not exactly like the one I am having. I have tried all the propper proceedures and nothing has worked so far.Â
It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.
This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.
I want to be able to compare the full repertoire (all the characters) in fonts without installing them in my system. As far as I can tell there is no way to do this in font book. The reason I want to do this is that I am trying to compare different versions of the same font with different character support (e.g. Latin 1 vs WGL). At the moment I keep having to delete and then reinstall the font, which isn't great.
In My Suitcase 5, I can see a list of OSX System Fonts > Local, (such as Calibri, Calisto MT, etc.). I realized I cannot locate these fonts anywhere on the HD. I see them in Suitcase and they load, but the physical files are nowhere to be found. I did a search in Finder for Calibri — nothing, like it doesn't exist. I went to all 3 common system fonts folders — nothing. I went to Users / Library/ Fonts — nothing.Â
I decided it'd be nice to have my computer sync contacts with my iPhone over the air, so I decided to use Google's exchange sync with both. Once in a while it'll hiccup and duplicate entries or change someone's name, but it's worked well for the most part.
There is one thing that has been really bugging me though... I set up my parents contacts so their first name was either 'Mom' or 'Dad'. For some reason, my mom's last name changed to reflect her actual last name. I'm not sure what caused this, but I've managed to fix the name across the board. Despite this, when I compose a new message and type in "mom," the first address it autofills is Mom James (with her last name). My address book doesn't show this contact name anymore, neither does Google or my iPhone.
I made a change to my spam setting (move spam to spam folder) and since then my mail quits everytime I start it up. I'm even able to get to the preference for it but it just quits.
The resolutions offered here are complicated.
Is there a way to just RESET mail? Or even re-install the OS?
I just installed Lion and now all of all the fonts that I have in my Library>Fonts folder, only about 1/3 are showing when I launch apps such as Illustrator or Motion. They are normal fonts, like Avenir, not crazy fonts that I downloaded for free. They are there, yet not showing in the font menus of the applications.Â
Having upgraded to Lion 10.7.3, the TextEdit 1.7 (289.3) application does not display any fonts placed in Users area: Mac HD/Users/Library/Fonts. But the same fonts are OK when placed at Public area: Mac HD/Library/Fonts. Tried Repairing Permission via Disk Utility with no joy. Although fonts placed at Users area don't display in TextEdit, they do display in Quark XPress, FileMaker, OpenOffice, Illustrator etc, etc.
