2. Re: System fonts
ToonVW Jul 28, 2011 3:13 PM (in response to Grant H)1. And how and where can I do so?
2. I use now Linotype Fontexplorer X Pro. In The past I used Suitcase.
In none of these programs I can turn off the system fonts.

4. Re: System fonts
ToonVW Jul 28, 2011 3:28 PM (in response to Grant H)Right I did so. I choose Helvetica.
But when I start a new page, make a text box and start typing the font Helvetica jumps again in Apple Braille.
What I want is that I can change this for ever.
Thanks.

8. Re: System fonts
Peter Spier Jul 28, 2011 5:30 PM (in response to ToonVW)For any existing file you will have to set the default font with the file open.
Do you have more than one paragraph style defined? Id so, which is selected as the default style, and does that use the Braille font? If your styles call for the wrong fonts it's better to edit the style than simply change the font in the Cahracter or Control panel. On the other hand, if you are not a user of styles (you really should learn how to do that if you don't), the default font will become whatever is set in the Character/Control panel when there is no text cursor active or text selected (which includes selecting a text frame that is not threaded to other frames).

Peter Spier Jul 28, 2011 5:42 PM (in response to Grant H)I know, but I'm not sure that we all understand English clearly in this thread, and there may be some confusion about what you meant. I had to think twice, myself, about what you asked.

12. Re: System fonts
Peter Spier Jul 28, 2011 5:56 PM (in response to Grant H)You may notice that sometimes my posts seem overly long, or have more information than might seem to be required. I have two reasons for doing that. First, I like to be sure that the response is as clear as I can make it, espcially when I know the OP is not a native English speaker (I even try to check my spelling better), and second because sometime other users will find a thread when looking for the answer to their own problems. If the reason you ask a question like "are you opening an new document?" is clearly spelled out it can make a big difference for these later users.
This is not meant to diminish your responses in any way. As you say, I've been here a lot longer than most, and I've developed a very good sense for reading between the lines in posts. What you've been doing is extremely helpful, and I want you to know I do appreciate that you take the time to give a hand.
