Localization Bugs with new Apple USB Keyboard?

by linathael . Original by Sam - 20/08/2007 11:44:03 CEST
It seems that the new stylish keyboard released by Apple together with the new iMac does not work properly. Especially when using non US English version. In French for example, there are at least 2 bugs left after applying the Apple Keyboard Update 1.1:
- Keyboard shortcuts tab in Keyboard and Mouse menu is not available in the System Preferences
- Some fonts are missing, such as American Typewriter and Helvetica Neue.
Spiral, one of our French form members, released a patch to fix the issue for French keyboards:

It remains unclear if it also affects many other languages, we would be happy to hear about it, simply post your comment/report in the dedicated topic on our forum: here
Otherwise, there is another way to retrieve "lost" fonts:
- Use the application Onyx to delete the font cache.
- Reboot
- Launch any text editor application, TextEdit of xPad; you should notice that some fonts are missing such as American Typewriter and Helvetica Neue
- Launch Font Book, and then select Add new fonts from Files menu. Select them from the /Library/Font/ directory
- It is done, if you relaunch you text editor application, the missing fonts are back.
