Photoshop :: Mac Font Book/CS3
Feb 1, 2009
I've been working with CS3 for 6-7 years now and I've hit a snag that is most likely small potatoes for most of you (I'm still a novice in many ways).
I have expanded my collection of fonts, mostly all TT1 fonts as I'm working on OSX Tiger. I loaded all of them (2500+) onto my hd/library/app support/adobe/fonts file. And of course I could only see a fraction of them when I pulled them up in CS3.
So, I went the Apple Font Book route, loading all of my fonts in Mac's Font Book - this is my first foray into any type of Font Manager, so I'm very green on this topic.
I created a series of collections. I deleted all fonts in the "hd/library/app support/adobe/fonts" folder. As a test, I exported a collection of fonts containing only 50 fonts into the "hd/library/app support/adobe/fonts" folder.
I opened up a test file in CS3, and typed in a test word. I went to change that word to one of the test fonts I uploaded. All I see is the original set of fonts I got when I first uploaded the 2500+.
CS3 is not recognizing the changes in that adobe folder. I have played around with many of the character presets and options to no avail.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get CS3 to recognize the changes? How can I pull up multiple collections from Font Book?

I have a lot of fonts, but I only enable about 30 fonts at a time using Font Book. However, ALL 1000+ of my fonts still appear in the pull down menu in Photoshop. This causes my system to slow down and Photoshop to crawl.
Dumping my font caches is not working. This problem seems to happen a lot and at random times. This affects ONLY Adobe products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator). All my other programs work well with Font Book.
Specs:
Photoshop CS3
Font Book ver 2.2.2
OS 10.6.8 (20" iMac) Upgrading to newer OS is NOT an option.
Dumped all AdoneFnt*.lst files and restarted.
Restarted in safe mode.
Checked all fonts for corruption (all are perfect).
Tried FontNuke.app

I have a Mac on 10.7 running cs6 Illustrator. I have been able to load fonts into Font Book but when opening the document I get the error below. This is only happening on one mac out of 6 that use this font. I have tried fixing permissions and clearing the font cash.

I use the Book module and export the resulting pages to jpeg files. Any text (text field, page caption, photo caption) is rasterized when zooming to 1:1 on the exported jpeg file. The pattern on the font edges is sharp without any smoothing (only black or white pixels, no shades on edges). In the printed pictures one can still see this pattern, it is really ugly. I never saw this when usig photoshop or any of those simple online programs for preparing photobooks.
In the "Book Settings" I set the same resolution as I use for printing by Blurb-like printing companies, e.g., 400ppi/dpi. Of course, the "solution" would be to set much higher ppi in the "Book Settings". But then propably the export sharpening does not work properly.

how does one get the fonts in the font drop down menu to display in the actual font? Right now, all I see is the list displayed in a default font and it's very hard to tell what the fonts really look like.

I am in the process of making a photobook using Lightroom and discovered when I reached page 240 that I couldn't add any additional pages, much to my surprise. I was surprised because I knew from Blurb's website that the limit for standard paper is 440 pages and mistakenly assumed that this limit would also apply within Lightroom. I did more research online and found many others being surprised by this limitation after spending hours and days on a photo book. I will likely work around this by exporting from Lightroom to .jpg and uploading to Blurb, but that will take extra time and effort and reduces the appeal of using Lightroom to create a Blurb book. I had also tried exporting from Lightroom to .pdf only to find that the .pdf format exported by Lightroom is not compatible with the requirements of Blurb.

This page [URL] has an example of a 3D book that I would like to know how to make on GIMP or through some other means starting from a square 1D cover.
I would also like to know how to make a good CD image from a square book cover:
This isn't a great example because it doesn't show image transfer to CD without distortion: [URL]

I am trying to up load a 40 page 12" x 12" photo book to Blurb from the book module in Lightroom 4.2. It renders the pages and then having rendered the cover gets stuck, about 50% to 60% through the process. None of the photographs are starred or colour coded. I have uploaded successfully from this iMac in the last few weeks.

I purchased Lightroom 5 and am creating a photo book through Blurb. I accidently erased 38 pages, so after I re-created them, I clicked on Create Saved Book, which put it in Collections. Now I am trying to work on the book again, and can open it, but when I go to the Library of photos, Lightroom automatically repopulates a new book with all the photos in that file and won't let me put them in the book I saved. How can I get this partially finished book so that I can use it?

After opening a file from another designer, this Chinese font has taken over my "omens – regular" font file. Anytime I use it, it converts to this font and each time I need to change a font weight, I must do it manually. As you can imagine, I use our company font all day so this slows me down quite a bit. Have you heard of this? It seems like some sort of font virus. I've researched removing it, yet can't seem to find the original font file to get rid of, which is even weirder."
We tried moving the font family to the trash, emptying the trash, rebooting the machine, and re-adding the font family and it still is happening.

I had posted in another thread about wanting to clean up a signature and make it look more font like. I tried that and it seemed to be pretty difficult due to the amount of random in a hand written signature.
So I think I'd like to approach this from the other direction. I have a font I like but I don't want it to look like the font (way too common). Is there a way to alter the font (not the entire font set or even to create a new font but just for a one word Logo)?
I'd ideally like to connect two of the letters and also modify the shapes of the letters just a bit.

Is there a way to specify a given system font that should be substituted for a given missing font? For example, the document I'm working with contains CourierStd and CourierStd-Bold which are not installed on my system. I would like to set Illustrator so that any time a document that contains these fonts is opened, Courier New and Courier New Bold are substituted automatically.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro. I asked one of the speakers as a local apple in store class about running the CS2 suite on the Mac and he recommended I use the windows version running under Boot Camp instead of buying the Mac version.
I have CS2 for my old PC (which I still use) I believe I can install this version on my Mac, is that correct?

I am making a children's book for a school project.
I want to use one picture per page, but I want this effect for the background of the one picture.
Essentially, I want to imitate the design that the link uses with the effect covering different colors on different pages.
I also want a darkened area with the same dark color used in the outline of the pictures as a block for my text to be put on to.

It tells me right away to restore the preferences by holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift upon opening the program. This is so the lessons and the book match. When I do this I am supposed to be prompted by a dialogue box and to click yes to confirm that I want to delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file.

Recently I accepted an offer on making a small commercial for a Online clothing shop. The add was ment to be filmed with cameras, actors and all that good stuff, but some 3 days into the pre production phase the "boss" changed his mind and decided he want's a CG based movie, aka something with computer graphics/animated and asked me if I can do it to?
Well, I said yes, regardless of the previous project recall, I see it as an importunity that might get me some future projects and ofc experience. Anyway, I did some research and decided to make a Photoshop animation. Was my first time using Photoshop more or less, but I managed to make it look decent in about 3 days time.
However, I am missing an important effect that I was requested to implement. Which is:
A catalog/book that is flipping trough pages trough out all the add and the book/catalog needs to have specific pictures as the pages.
The background should be transparent because I would shrink the book/catalog to a smaller size to fit it top middle of the screen, and a, for example, green square background on my main composition background, which is pink, would look very bad. If both The book/catalog and main composition backgrounds would be solid white it would work.
I know there are ways to do it in 3d max, After Effects etc.
