It took me a few queries to find the correct online solution for this problem: after adding a TrueType (and it’s extension: OpenType) font using the built-in MacOS Font Book, they do not show up in Pages or Preview, not even after validating the fonts in Font Book.
Solutions:
- reboot (found this out myself)
- killing the fontd font daemon from the Activity Monitor
- restart font daemon (found out via the link below)
launchctl kickstart -k gui/`id -u`/com.apple.xtyped
The last one does not work on my Apple Silicon machine, the first two work fine.
For Preview, you have to Force Quit it then start it (so it re-opens all the previous files) to take effect.
I needed this, because I

Het overkomt te vaak dat barcodes beschadigd of overplakt zijn (hallo Too Good to Go, hallo “samen minder verspillen” van Jumbo en vergelijkbare acties)
Daarom wat barcodes van producten die je er overheen kunt plakken:

Edit 20250213: let op! Op MacOS met Preview: vul niet het formulier als formulier in, maar gebruik text-annotations voor de tekstvelden. Want anders ben je met printen 80% van je informatie kwijt
Edit 20250830: vul bij “Uw huidige adres” het nieuwe adres in (de betekenis van “Uw huidige adres” is bij invullen voor het verhuizen anders dan na het verhuizen; de belastingdienst gaat er vanuit dat het na het verhuizen wordt ingevuld)

a simple, intuitive web app for carrying out all manner of “cyber” operations within a web browser. These operations include simple encoding like XOR or Base64, more complex encryption like AES, DES and Blowfish, creating binary and hexdumps, compression and decompression of data, calculating hashes and checksums, IPv6 and X.509 parsing, changing character encodings, and much more.

Access Denied
I knew it was possible to generate QR codes to access quest networks (as the QR code has credentials) for WiFi networks having a fixed SSID.
I just never bothered, but did when needed home care with quite a few different people providing the care.
Generating was easier than I anticipated, though I hoped I just could put the parameters in a URL and fire off to get a page including the QR code.
Alas, the pages I found require you to enter the SSID name and key/password phrase.
That’s OK: I have saved the PNG files for our network and my brother’s as images so I can put them on-line, and printed them out so guests can scan and use the network at once.
Here we go:
- 124 network Access Denied, key 2171TB24
- 171 network Disconnected, key 1060NP71

On my research list: Home – Outpan as it is a key-value store of EAN (actually GTIN, so including GS1 UPC, EAN which means barcodes like UPC-12, EAN-8, EAN-13 and ITF-14).
- [WayBack] Global Trade Item Number – Wikipedia
- [WayBack] API Documentation – Outpan Developers
Legacy API
Get Product Information
GET https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]
Add Product Name
POST https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]/name?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]
Required POST parameters:
name: The name you would like to add for this product.
Add Product Attribute
POST https://api.outpan.com/v2/products/[GTIN]/attribute?apikey=[YOUR API KEY]
Required POST parameters:
name: Name of the attribute you would like to add for this product.
value: Value for the attribute you would like to add for this product.
- [GTIN] is the barcode number (ISBN, EAN, UPC, …) of the product you’re looking up.
- All API calls must be done via HTTPS. Plain HTTP calls will be rejected.

I had a bit of trouble getting into CodeRage Mobile: somehow the confirmation email never reached the pluimers.com servers. After retrying today, @EmbarcaderoTech sent a GotoMeeting link that worked.
Later I will try to trace back about the mail issue (:
I’m in now, and since I usually loose the QA information, here is a dump of the QA for today so far.
Will try to find time for post editing and getting the URLs clickable.
