I'm trying to install my collection of fonts that i use regularly. All the fonts are Opentype Fonts (.otf) which i know for a fact are working files as i use them on my other box which is running xp.When i try either installing the fonts (right clicking and pressing install) or copy and pasting into the fonts directory i get a message which pops up and says that the file Cannot Install as the file does not appear to be a valid font.
I am trying to install 32 barcode fonts (type .ttf) using a batch file. Everything that I have read says that you should just be able to copy the font to C:windowsfonts and then add the appropriate value to the registry at HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFonts. My batch file does both of these things, however the fonts still do not show up in the font manager (or applications). They do show up if I browse to the fonts folder using cmd so I know they are where they should be. Is there something that I am missing here? These fonts need to be installed on every computer at my company so manually installing them isn't really an option.
I am having a major frustration with fonts on my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium x64),amongst the other usual 64bit issues/compatibility It's new, and I was moving fonts to it from my old laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium x32).I had installed about 6500 fonts and it pretty much ground to a stop on start-up and launching programs causing even the most reliable programs to declare the "Not Responding" status (Even though i have i7/16GB Ram/64-bit)
I suddenly started seeing this ugly font (see images below) on many webpages.I think this issue began right around the time I installed some other fonts, but I am not sure. Initially, I figured it was a Chrome thing but have since confirmed the issue extends to IE and Firefox, leading me to believe this is a Windows issue. By the time I tried to revert the changes via System Restore, it was too late (restore only went back a few days; maybe I need to adjust settings there?).I tried to reset the default font but Windows does not seem to respond to that. When I click "Restore to default font settings" the button greys out but nothing else happens. No dialog box and no change in the issue.
I deleted a few fonts from my font folder the other day and it seems that a few OS fonts were deleted in the process. Usually Ive got a message saying something along the lines of "this is a OS font" or "in use".Question:I noticed that my default calculator font is missing and was curious if anyone knows what font the calculator uses. I got a substituted font from the deleted one, but it looks terrible.If nobody knows the above.I went into a font deletion frenzy because I had some non-OS fonts that made my font list bulky and it took a while to scroll to the more used fonts.So I deleted some to combat this. Photoshop loads a lot faster as well due to less fonts(my little takeaway tip from all this)

If nobody knows the above. Then would anyone happen to know how to change the calculator font?

I like to have a lot of fonts installed on my computer but I couldn't with my old computer because it slowed down the load up time for my computer.My new computer has the following:
processor brand AMD processor model A8 Quad-Core memory 8 GB hard drive capacity 1000 GB operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit processor speed 2.5 GHz front side bus speed 4.0 GT/s memory speed PC3-10600 memory type DDR3 SD RAM maximum memory capacity 8 GB video graphics AMD Radeon HD 6550D integrated graphics with up to 4089MB shared memory audio hardware integrated audio, 6 speaker configurable model name Pavilion p7-1225 brand name HP manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Am I going to be able to install a lot of fonts with this setup without slowing down my computer?If I can, is there a limit of how many I could install without running into a slower computer boot up?
I'm moving from an XP machine to a Windows 7 machine. I want to take a bunch of fonts with me, but Explorer in Windows 7 won't let me actually look at what files are in the font directory; all I can see is their characteristics, provided by Control Panel. Will it work to just copy font files into that directory from the XP machine? Or is there some additional voodoo to get them installed?
Changed the appearance of Win7 to make it look like XP. Changed desktop color, active window color etc. Everything worked fine. Except I still have 3d fonts under the icons on the desktop and they look terrible on a solid background. The setting is the font for "icons" - changing the style or size of the font shows up on the desktop. But I can't get rid of the 3d. Difference between a work of art and really ugly.
I have two fonts file ( same font, new and older version). I want to edit one ftf font file and import older font selected few characters to the new one. How do I do it? What is the good application to that?
Actually I want to edit "DroidSanFallback" font new and older files. Older file support my native language letters/fonts, but new version not has my native language letters/fonts. So I want to copy my native language characters to new one.
I am from Sri Lanka, and hence I use Sinhala and Tamil fonts from time to time. I have discovered that certain fonts appear fully on the Fonts Panel in the CP. However, other do not (that is, those others appear faded on the CP Fonts panel). WHen I change my font type to a Sinhala font that appeared fully on the panel, it types well on MS Word. But when I try to type in a Sinhala font that appear faded in the CP Fonts Panel, it types in English. how this can be, and what steps I can use to remedy it? to prevent it?
Everything is fine now. If I did something, not sure what worked exactly, but I won't argue Got a strange issue. I've been doing some fiddling recently with customizing Windows 7 (specifically, installing Rainmeter and trying to install custom themes). When I tried to install a theme, however, I ended up with font troubles. Apparently it wrote over some of the main fonts and, oddly enough, made the font show up transparent in some places. (a specific example is in a folder I created on the desktop) Is there a way to restore the fonts completely to default? I've tried restoring to defaults in font settings, but no-go. What do you guys think? I'm thinking I should give up custom themes for a bit until I can make a restore point (I like to dive into things like this. Keeps it challenging, you know ) EDIT: Forgot to mention that this is all on the 64 bit version!
Which Office 2010 Home and Student Edition fonts are absolutely necessary? Or to put it another way, which fonts (that are typically installed in a normal Office installation) is it safe to delete? There are waaay too many of these dubiously styled fonts cluttering my Windows 7 Pro system; I want to pare things down and make room for higher quality fonts.
I don't know what happened, but when I turned on my PC this morning I found out that the following fonts are missing from the Windows/Fonts directory: Arial, Tahoma, Times New Roman. Maybe others are missing also, but I can't tell. Everything is Italic and/or Bold.So my questions are:
01. Why is this happening? 02. What happened with the missing fonts? 03. How could this be fixed? 04. What is the default font and size for Windows 7? 05. Where can I change it?
I received my laptop yesterday - Core i5, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I proceeded to install some apps from Microsoft and Adobe. Installation went fine and the apps started without problems. As soon as I saw the long list of fonts in Word, I wanted to remove as many of them as I possibly could. Brought up Fonts panel. Only 10 fonts - 10 ancient, bitmap fonts. What!? I saw and selected many fonts in Microsoft and Adobe apps. The fonts are indeed there, but they are simply not shown - no Segoe, no Cambria, no Corbel, no Constantia, not even Arial and Times New Roman, nothing.I got nervous and decided to restore Windows all the way back to the starting point.Today, I created the recovery DVDs from the factory partition. Rebooted from the DVDs to re-image C drive. Set up Windows and created my account. Windows 7 came up fresh. I went straight to the Fonts panel to check. Horror - the same 10 bitmap fonts, and nothing else.The factory-installed Windows 7 has problems showing fonts? What should I do now?
I cannot change the fonts in these two following windows. I would like to change all these fonts into Arial, but I cannot find a way to change them.I try to adjust them in personalization window coloradvanced appearance settings Active title bar or Menu. This method was practicable in browser menu, PDF files menu, etc. But it only failed to adjust these two windows...what a marvelous.BTW, since the fonts in this window are odd so that some contents in this window cannot be shown.
i have this weird problem where in i have a chinese or unicode font and i can read chinese text in a browser, however the title bar and the filename of the files which contains unicode characters are appears as boxes, im having a hard time figuring this out since, some time the fonts work, sometimes it wont.
Windows 7 and I am having problems with the size of the fonts in some of my programmes for instance both google search and facebook are really small also my outlook express. I tried changing font sizes got really big icons but no changes on programmes Fiddles around and now the back buttons and the X to close the programes dont appear unless I point to them.
I visited one web site in our country, but that web site fonts not work properly. I already installed that web site fonts in my PC. If i visited that web site using "Google Chrome" then it work properly. This problem only happen Firefox 5.
When I'm installing programs, such as Adobe Reader or Flash, the text being displayed by the installer is in Chinese, but not all of it. Also, i noticed that after installing MS Office, the default font is set to a Chinese font
I want to install some "old" fonts (TTF and Adobe PS) on Windows 7I tried to copy them in the c:WindowsFonts directory, but copy is refusedI also had a message telling that I have not the rights to do thatI bought a configuted computer with Windows 7 - 64 bits already installed and defined myself as an administrator, but this problem sometimes happen (for instance with Xplorer2)
I cannot preview any fonts in Windows 7 anymore. I haven't tried this for a very long time so I'm not sure what may have caused it or when. When I try to view a font in windows (double clicking on a font file) I receive an error message instead of the classic "The quick fox jumps over the..." examples of the font in action. I've already attempted to reset the font settings to their default (Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsFontsFont settings, click restore default font settings button) and I'm unsure of how to proceed. Double Clicking A Font File Should Produce Instead I Receive This Error
I downloaded a few new fonts from Defont and they are not showing up in my font selection in Photoshop. They did, however, appear in my font folder on my C drive. How do I use them in Photoshop?
