    Adobe Illustrator Saves Duplicate Files

    I have run into this issue with a few different versions of Illustrator. I wrote an AppleScript that opens all EPS files in a selected folder and does a "save as" over the original. Subsequent edits to the files do not result in the duplicates being created. I believe the cause is that the files...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    If you know what applications and system resources require those fonts, and how those fonts are at times in conflict with third party software, then it is safe to modify those fonts. I would recommend caution if one is unfamiliar or inexperienced in this area, but the same goes for modifying...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    That's actually similar to what I do. I remove all of the fonts from MS Office and move them to the ~/Library/Fonts/ folder. I do this because there is more than one version of Verdana (and other fonts) in use. I also created a new folder to move disabled fonts into; ~/Library/Fonts Disabled/...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    I am still seeing this issue today with Quark 6.52 and OS X 10.5.x. I expect that moving to Quark 8 will work, but we will lose the ability to automate some of our heavy workload, which is a serious issue to contend with considering the volume of work. Will QuarkXPress 6.5 Run On Mac OS X 10.5...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    Using an alternate font is not an option as these workflows are layered and they affect tens of thousands of files going back many years. Believe me, I'd love to use a solution like that, but it's more complicated than you imagine. There are a dozen other users who are not experiencing this...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    I've been seeing this issue at random for a few years and have yet to find a resolution myself so far. I've tried pushing it up to the top-level internal support at my company with no resolution either (makes me feel better when the top guys can't fix it either). This is a QuarkXPress issue...

    QuarkXPress 6.52 failing to print Verdan

    When printing from PPC or Intel Macs running 10.4 or 10.5, Quark fails to print files containing Verdana. On 10.5 Macs, the file prints, but substitutes Courier. On 10.4 Macs, the file fails without notification. It just disappears from the queue. I've tested copying the text to InDesign CS3 and...

    "Software Update" not working!

    On a similar issue... on a Tiger system, I've seen the update app end up with incorrect permissions and become unable to launch. After repairing permissions, or fixing the permissions of the app directly, it will launch and update properly again.

    Clock and date resetting to 1969??

    It was never "Classic" to me! I kept my Quadra well past Y2K.

    Clock and date resetting to 1969??

    I have a dozen or so MacPro and PowerMacs in a domain environment, working from an Xserve. When an individual system has this issue while working on a server-based file, the file gets tagged with the date on the server. It's a battery issue on the workstation. The date seems to be an arbitrary...

    OS X System failure

    My Mac died last week and neither I nor IT have been able to resurrect it. It is a Dual 2.3 G5 with 10.4.11 installed. I got a kernel panic and the fans ran up to full speed and stayed there while I went to lunch. It sounded like a jet taxiing on the runway. I can not get any boot options on...
