Dear Sirs,
I am using a Mac Mini (2011) with Pages 09 Version 4.0.5 (852) on the Mac OS X 10.6.4 system (I installed Mac OS X Update Combined). I cannot tell which format of fonts I have whether it is OpenType or PostScript. I installed iWork 09 Update 3 and iWork 09 Update 5 Version 9.0.5. I also installed Snow Leopard Font Update.
I cannot get Hoefler Text Ornaments to operate at all. Regular, Italic, Black and Black Italic all operate just fine, but not the Ornaments. When I try to use the Ornaments by highlighting the text and choosing Hoefler Ornaments, from the drop-down window on the tool bar of the page that I am using, the text remains unchanged. I cannot get Zaph Dingbats font to work either. Bondoni Ornaments, Type embellishments One LET and Wingdings 1,2 and 3 all work just fine, from the drop-down menu of the Format Bar, when working with a document in Pages. I cannot figure why Hoefler Ornaments and Zaph Dingbats will not do the same.
Please note:
A) I can see these fonts (Hoefler Text Ornaments and Zaph Dingbats) in the Fonts Window of the drop-down menu of the Format Bar, when working with a document in Pages.
B) In Font Book, Hoefler Text Ornaments and Zaph Dingbats both appear in the All Fonts folder in the Collection column, but do not appear in the English folder in the same Collection column.
C) When I click on the Computer icon in Font Book both Hoefler Text Ornaments and Zaph Dingbats both appear in the Font column.
D) Can I transfer font folders from AppleWorks (OS X) into the font folder of iWorks?
Can you tell me what I should do to get the Hoefler Ornaments and the Zaph Dingbats to work? I have quite a few documents from my older iMac , using Apple Works, and without the Ornaments these flies will not be the same when I open them on this new computer.
I would also like to know why it is that when I try to insert the date in Pages, the drop down menu does not give me the choice of a fixed date, or an automatically up-dating one like in Apple Works. I cannot get the same Date & Time feature to insert the time at all. Can you tell me whats going on here?
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your kind assistance with this problem.
Cordially yours,
DominicG.
