I've recently upgraded from a much older Mac OS, and have found there are many more system fonts than there were in the previous OS. Does anyone have any experience with any font utility that can hide these (I work client-side and only require about 10 font families). I'm currently using FontBook, and when I turn system fonts off, it 'warns' me. I really just want to create a restricted set and only see those within Quark. Thanks!

Uncompressed font from CD
Our peer need to send a Mac font out from a CD. Unfortunately, he only have a PC. Apparently, the font is irrevocably corrupted on multiple attempts (PC cannot read the forks). How can he send it to us (through email or ftp) without destroying the Mac properties?
Any workaround?
TIA

Two weights look the same
Quark 7.5, Mac OS 7.4.11
I have 4 weights of (Open Type) Clarendon - light, medium, bold and extra bold, converted by FontXChange from Type 1. They all look different in Font Book, but when printed in Quark (and Word) the Light and Medium are identical, and the Bold and Extra Bold are identical. (And, speaking softly, they are correct in Photoshop and InD). I have nuked the font caches, but that makes no difference. Any idea why this happens?

problem with some fonts (mainly myriad) in QXP 9.2.1 since going to cs6
Since updating to CS6 I have not been able to see Myriad Black range of fonts in Quark v9.2.1 and as the full range of Myriad fonts are crucial to our most significant two clients I need to sort this out quickly. I am on a 17" MacBook Pro i7 running OSX 10.7.4 and have tried clearing font cache via Terminal and have eliminated all other copies of Myriad. HELP!!!!!

Some eps/pdf pictures in this document use screen fonts not available in your system
I'm getting the following error. "Some eps/pdf pictures in this document use screen fonts not available in your system, including: HelveticaNeue-HeavyItali, Helvetica-Condensed"
It is a 216 page file with hundreds of pictures. Fonts are loaded. Not sure what is causing the problem unless it is not the exact version of Helvetica.
Any way I can tell which pictures have this problem? I hate to have to go through each picture one by one.

Missing Invisibles & Fonts Loaded & Not Showing in Quark
Quark Version 9.3 | Mac OS 10.7.4
When trying to see invisibles I get the following error message "Invisibles cannot be shown. Instal the Quark hidden font and show invisibles again." I have looked in the Quark Required Components folder and the file is there.
Quark Responed once and told me to "Clear the font cache using Font Finagler." I did this and it created font issues that didn't have to begin with. I uninstalled and downloaded Onyx (which I found recommended on the Forums), ran that and still get the same error. And now within this process, I can't get Avant Garde to show up in the font menu in Quark (it is part of multiple template files), everything is perfect in Adobe CS6 products, and the font is installed in Font Book.
I contacted Quark again and have not heard anything back from them in over a week.
Any help with fixing this would be great.

Frutiger 67 Bold Condensed Crashes Quark
When I try to change any text using the font Frutiger 67 Bold Condensed, Quark crashes. I'm not sure if this is a Quark issue, or an issue with the font, but can anyone help?
We use various Frutiger fonts in everything we do, but it's only when text is in Frutiger 67 Bold Condensed that Quark stops working. I can't even change the font to stop it crashing - all it will let me do without crashing is delete the text box entirely, and then I have to write it all over again. Very frustrating

adjust point size
In Quark 6 and before you could change the point size by single points by holding the command, option and shift keys and then hit the smaller/larger keys.
This doesn't work in my Quark 8. All I can do is change the point size to the predetermined sizes (10, 12, 14, 18, etc) by holding the command and shift keys and then the smaller/larger keys.
Is this no longer availble in Quark 8 or how else can I do it? Or, where in preferences can I turn this on?

Mac 10.7 / Quark 9 Fonts won't load.
I can't seem to get Quark 9.3 to recognize loaded fonts (unless Helvetica is loaded in the System/Library/Fonts folder.)
I work in Prepress and I am installing some new Macs for production.
These are Mac Minis running 10.7.4, 8GB ram, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5.
We always strip down the fonts to the essential fonts which are:
In the System/Library/Fonts
Apple Color Emoji.ttf
AppleGothic.ttf
AquaKana.ttc
Geneva.dfont
HelveticaNeueDeskUI.ttc
Keyboard.ttf
LastResort.ttf
LucidaGrande.ttc
Menlo.ttc
Monaco.dfont
We strip all fonts out of Library/Fonts and the ~/User/Library fonts
We use FontBook for loading/unloading fonts (on a per job basis.)
I can get all other programs that our production machines use to work with this process. That would include email, TextEdit, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, CS4/CS5/CS6 suites, etc.
We have used this process with all the Mac systems up until 10.6.x.
The problem only occurs with 10.7.x and Quarks 7.5, 8.5 & 9.3.
I have tried various procedures which include Safe Mode, cleaning font caches (command line, font nuke, etc.) and nothing seems to resolve this problem.
The only way to have Quark recognize the user loaded fonts is the put the Helvetica dfonts back into the System/Library/Fonts folder. The problem with this is that our customers use various Helvetica fonts which usually conflict with the system fonts creating all sorts of issues.
I am wondering if anyone on this forum can give me any insight to a possible solution?
My preference is not to use other font management software like Suitcase unless I absolutely have to.

How to kern OpenType old style numerals?
Hello all. After nearly two decades of slowly kerning my postscript typefaces, book by book, I'm now struggling to figure out how to kern my first OpenType font. I've unchecked "Use OpenType kerning" so that I can have control. If, let's say, I'm now using an OpenType version of Bodoni Book, and I have a kerning file I've slowly built while using a postscript Bodoni Book over the years, may I simply then import that kerning file into Quark now, for use with the OT Bodoni Book? My second and last question: I can't figure out how to adjust the kerning (globally) for the old style numerals in an OpenType version of Joanna I've just bought. When I go Kerning Table Edit, Joanna Roman and Joanna Italic are my only options. How do I access and modify kerning for, let's say, Joanna Roman's old style numerals? Thanks very much, in advance.

Newly-installed fonts not showing up in Quark 8.1.6.2
Hi there,
I have been tearing my hair out over this for longer than I care to mention. I have added three new OpenType fonts to my system today, all of which are fine in Font Book and work in other applications including CS5 apps. I have validated the fonts in Font Book so I know there is nothing wrong with the fonts themselves.
I was initially using 8.1.2 and after speaking with a tech support guy at Quark, updated to 8.1.6.2 with no change. I have also used Onyx and Font Nuke to clear font caches and restarted numerous times. My fonts are STILL not showing up.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Tell me I'm not alone...

Plain style font not showing up in quark
Thanks to anyone that can help. I am running Mac Vs 10.6.5 with quark 8 and extensis Fusion 3. I load the font that is stored on my harddrive into Fusion 3 and it shows up. I can activate it ok. I can see it in fusion ok. But when I launch quark all I can see is the Itallic, Bold, and Bold Italic versions but not the plain version. This is happening to different fonts so I know it is not just the one font. It is also happening to my co-workers computer. That is identical to mine. I can see the whole font family in any adobe product but not in Quark. What is causing this and why?

Fonts Take A Long Long Time To Load
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me.
Quark 8.5.1 is starting to take a long time to load, this isn't a problem though because when it has i runs fine but with the exception of loading fonts!
When i first click in the fonts pop up at the bottom of the screen it takes anything up to a minute to load the fonts. Then a good 10 seconds plus every time i click thereafter.
Does an yone have any pointers on how to speed this up?
Any help would be fantastic thanks.
I'm using Quark 8.5.1. on a mac pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 8gb ram running OSX 10.6.8.
Thanks Again Alistair

Devanagari font support and odd error message
I just upgraded to QuarkXPress 9.5 for the Mac. I am disappointed on the Devanagari support... unless I'm doing something wrong. It does not seem to do conjuncts (ligatures) at all.
I also get an error message, when I load a document with Devanagari, that says:
"This document contains text runs or style sheets that require Hindi hyphenation. [90]"
Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated!

Missing fonts XPress 3.3 Mac 10.4.11
Friend who's running 3.3 on a PPC Mac because of using a discontinued printer capable of printing white decals while using MacClassic.
Fonts are missing in XPress only . . . whereas they were not missing a few months ago. For instance, Univers 55 is available in Classic in all other software (Word, etc) but is missing in XPress. Actually in XPress when you go to select fonts the list is incomplete . . . alphabetically, there are no fonts available after font names beginning in O. We've tried re-installing XPress, including preferences but no luck.
There were no font changes on the computer that could have caused the problem . . . none were added or deleted.
Any ideas?

QXP Crashes after update to 9.5 from 9.3.2 when opening most files
After recently applying the 9.5 update, I have not been able to open files created before the update. QXP 9.5 crashes as the open progress bar approaches 75%.
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and had NO ISSUES with QXP 9.3.2 prior to the update.
Further, it appears that the update added new extensions and there seem to be some conflicts with the extensions. I'm willing to try an uninstall, but need instructions on how to accomplish that properly. I would also like to install directly from a 9.5 installer to avoid any anomalies associated with problems that might be introduced by the update process.
My version of QXP is the AmericasPlus Edition with the Asian Language extensions.
Thank you,
Vincent
