iPhoto: Book orders may get canceled if books contain Type 1 PostScript fonts

If you create a book in iPhoto using certain Type 1 PostScript fonts, your book order might get inadvertently canceled. For now, you can get your book back on track by changing the font to one that isn't Type 1 PostScript, and then resubmitting your book order.

So how can you tell which fonts are Type 1 PostScript?

There's a couple of different ways. If you're using Mac OS X 10.3, use Font Book. If not, you can find this information in the Info or Inspector window in the Finder.

Using Font Book

1. Open Font Book (in the Applications folder).
2. Be sure that both the Preview and Font Info panes are displayed. If Font Book opens without the Preview pane visible, it looks like this:

   

   To display the Preview pane, from the Preview menu, choose Show Preview.

   

   If you don't see any "Font type" or font "Family" information at the bottom of the Preview pane, from the Preview menu, choose Show Font Info to display the Font Info pane.

3. Select the font that you want to use in your book from the Collection and Font columns. The font type will be clearly displayed in the Font Info pane (next to the words "Font type"), like this:

   

4. Make sure that the font you've chosen is not a Type 1 PostScript font.

Using the Finder

Though you could open an Info window for every font you're interested in using, the Inspector is more convenient, since you'll only have to open it once.

1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. While holding down the Option key, choose Show Inspector from the File menu (or just press Command-Option-I).
3. Open a Finder window and navigate to the Fonts folder that contains fonts you want to use. Remember that Mac OS X uses several Fonts folders for different purposes.
4. Select a font in your chosen Fonts folder, then look at the Inspector window that you opened earlier (it updates its information for each new item that you click). It will display the font name and type, like this:

   

5. Make sure that the font "Kind" is not Type 1 PostScript.

Tip: Make sure that you select only one font at a time. A dash (-) appears in all Font Info fields if you select more than one font.
