Apple announced on Monday that Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will be available only in the Mac App Store, and the operating system upgrade will be available for just $29.99. · http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/06/06/apple_to_sell_mac_os_x_10_7_lion_for_29_99_only_in_mac_app_store.html

In a nutshell, font rendering with 10.6.7 is breaking when certain types of fonts are used. In particular, people are reporting errors when printing using certain fonts from Word and Pages, among other programs. Others are experiencing problems when creating PDF documents using OpenType PostScript fonts. (These PDF files work correctly in Preview, but may cause problems in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the Mac and in Windows.) We’ve even seen reports of font problems when developing in Flash Professional. That said, the bug will affect all Mac applications that rely on Mac OS X’s mechanism for rendering fonts; programs like InDesign that have their own rendering engines are immune. According to my sources, the problem is that each font used in a PDF has a description of how the glyphs are encoded, and a change in 10.6.7 resulted in PDFs ending up with an incorrect encoding definition. Since Mac OS X uses PDF as the print spool format, that accounts for both PDF files and print jobs showing the problem. The Flash Professional authoring tool relies on the platform’s font rendering, which explains why it’s having trouble too. · http://tidbits.com/article/12078

Der Download von Anwendungen – auch kostenloser Programme – setzt eine Apple-ID voraus. Wer noch keine hat, kann direkt im Mac App Store kostenlos eine neue anlegen. Zum Kauf von Software ist entweder das Hinterlegen der eigenen Kreditkarte vonnöten oder ein Account beim Zahlungsdienstleister ClickandBuy, der auch die Nutzung eines Bankkontos erlaubt. Alternativ lässt sich das eigene App-Store-Konto durch iTunes-Karten oder iTunes-Geschenkgutscheine aufladen. · http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meldung/Der-Mac-App-Store-im-Detail-1164742.html

SOLUTION Connect the HP printer (for instance the HP 1022) wired to your Apple Intel computer. Choose the Gutenprint driver (in stead of the HP driver 1.3.0.261) when adding a (standard) printer in System preferences. The printer will now work fine. Unfortunately the Gutenprint driver won't work in combination with with wireless printing to a HP printer with a airport express basesation.
