Some how it "went away". I can control fonts in the format bar, but not otherwise. This just happened today. How do I get the "fonts" which is rightmost on the bar above the format bar to work again? To its left is Colors, Media, Inspector, etc.
Now using Mac OSX 10.6.8
iMac (17-inch Late 2006), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Try typing Cmnd + t

thank you for prompt response. command t does not change it - and selecting same from the menu does not work either.
I have been using Pages quite a bit this last week - using many fonts; then today I can't get that feature to work on new or existing documents.
I have restarted the computer as well.
Guess I will go for a re-install. Rather not do that.
Geo
Befor you re-install, go to Font Book and verify your fonts. It may be a corrupt font. Someone else will soon come along with further suggestions.

thanks
I removed two fonts that had the "red" icon - now will try again.

after removing the two "red" fonts I restarted and went into Pages - still no go.
I have a great many fonts in the "yellow". I wonder what caused this?
If it is a font problem then reinstallation of Pages may not be the solution.
Try deleting the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist from Users > "your name" > Library > Preferences. Pages has to be quit while doing it. Then start Pages again.

Thank you for your suggestion. I applied it and it did not work.
I re-installed iWork 09. That did not work either.
I have found that I have many "Font" folders.
After doing some research on where font folders are suppossed to be I will make changes and report on the result in this thread.
Anyone having had the same prombem is encouraged to contribute.
George
By the way. The Font feature works fine in Keynote (which I seldom use) as well Numbers (which I never use).
I dumped all the fonts that had "problems"
Now Keynote and Numbers want "Marker Felt - thin" which was removed due to "problem".
I have no idea which Font Folder it should go in.
I am a Dunce
After reinstalling iWorks and using Pacifist to reinstall fonts from the Snow Leopard disc and not seeing the "Fonts" I just decided to relax.
So I opened a PPS file that I had received in an email. The slide show is on the second screen, so I had to turn on the second screen. Guess what? That is where the font pallette was from Pages.
Thanks so much for the help and great insight. It is often difficult to help a dunce. But I sure appreciate so many people trying.
Now I need to find out why so many fonts are "cautioned" by Font Book.
Now I am going to go stand in the corner wearing my DUNCE cap.
The important thing is you found your answer. At least one of them.
Walt
Walt:
The one unknown is why was I so stupid?
I really appreciate your sending mutiple suggestions - very nice - thanks.
I'll worry another day about the fonts - too much work to do and it seems to be performing just fine.
Geo
No, we're all that kind of sutpid at times. I was referring to why so many are "cautioned."
Walt
Why is font "inspector" not available?
