24bit PNG font weight issue

Hi all,
I have a problem which I can't seem to find any record of anyone else having in these forums, yet I can replicate it no matter which machine I go on in our creative agency using CS5.
It's thus:
I have a page of content laid out the way I want it. I inserts a 24big PNG with transparency, and suddenly my font weight looks bold (though the font weight still says "regular").
Exporting to a PDF carries across this issue, the fonts on the pages with the PNGs go "bold", and so the final product looks terrible, as pages without PNGs with transparency look the correct weight.
It's driving me mad. Can anyone suggest a fix? I have inserted an example screengrab below.
Thanks!

Two thing I noticed: The PNG files are placed on a page that has no background image (its just a white sheet of paper)
Why do you need the PNG to have transparency at all? You could save it in a format that doesn't have tranparency and the page would look fine and the bolding of the text would go away.
Another issue which is a bit off topic; your text mentions: . . . and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus Pagemaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. This looks like it was written almost 20 years ago. Aldus Pagemaker became Adobe Pagemaker in 1994 - 18 years ago. You could at least drop the "more recently" and rewrite the sentence to make the information more up to date.
Quark and InDesign both have versions of Lorem Ipsum that can be used for placeholder text.

Font-weight attribute only works for bold?

Hello, this has been bothering me for a while. When I set a
font weight attribute on my css stylesheet it only makes a
difference when I go bold; lighter font weights 100, 200 and medium
numbers do nothing. I use safari and firefox, not sure if that is
an issue. I have been using css a while and my code is good -
font-weight: 100; what gives?

> Thanks, I think you mean not supported by Safari right?
Are they supported

No, I mean not supported in general.
> Also, is there any work-arounds or way to lighten up my
text font? I
> really need it to stay text.
font-weight:normal is the lightest you get.

ADF: Font size issue using JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_070112.1145.4385

Hi,
Even I have the exact same issue with my jspx pages.
I am on the EMAIGC_MAIN_LINUX label using JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_070112.1145.4385
I have a tableLayout in my template code, that I use to layout the contents of my jspx page. After I remove the <afh:tableLayout>, the following fonts are affected and work fine -
1. The font of the top File menu that Ravi mentions below.
2. The Navigation tree that we have on the left side of the page.
3. The 'emptyText' of the <af:table> component.
4. The 'help' facet of the <af:panelLabelAndMessage> component.
If I put the tableLayout back again, the large size (16px) fonts in the above areas reappear.
Coming back to the problem -
Now, the Navigation tree, that I have mentioned above, helps me to navigate to a different page.
Once, I click on the navigation tree's node to navigate to the second page, and the page loads, I find that the fonts in the above four afore-mentioned areas go back to the larger size (16px), thus making the removal of the tableLayout useless. Both the initial page and the second page use the same hierarchy of templates and styles.
When I try loading the first/initial page again, the fonts are all fine and proper (11px).
Can someone please help resolve this issue as this is quite a deterrent to achieving a proper looking UI.
Please let me know if anyone needs access to my working env and jspx files.
Thanks,
Arya.

Hello All,

Just the PanelGroupLayout and TableLayout.
In the TableLayout what I have used , If I remove the table Layout the
fonts come correctly and If I put the tableLayout back the fonts becomes

1. I am not understanding if ther is any relation in using tableLayout
inside panelGroupLayout ?? 2. How can I ensure the fonts are consistent
with the framework. ?

I have attached the selectPlugin.jspx where the font size is going to be
bigger and if you remove the tableLayout in the above highlighted code
the fonts come correctly.
Please kindly reply.
Thanks

Font-weight:bold; - works in firefox, safari, internet explorer 6 BUT NOT ie7

font-weight bold; on an external css style sheet is working in every browser (INCLUDING ie6) but NOT ie7?
I just don't get it. It even works in ie6.
NOTE:   One thing I should mention is that I have a conditional Internet Explorer statement, for a Internet Explorer-specific style sheet that targets ie6 and ie7.
But I don't think that's the issue because every other style is working properly EXCEPT font-weight:bold. This is absolutely maddening.
I tried searching around for solutions and the only lead i found was writing [ font-weight:bold !important; ] using that '!important' statement I thought would somehow force ie7 to acknowledge it. But no dice. It failed.
Here is the accursed code:
#date {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold !important;   /*   bold not showing up in ie7 !!! */
font-size:.85em;   /* Is font-size affecting bold in ie7 ?? - was 85% */
color:#000000;
text-transform:uppercase;
margin-bottom:-.75em;
margin-top:6em;
Again, it works in every browser, including ie6...BUT NOT in IE7.
Any help will keep me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

So it's still not BOLD in ie7.
- My css is validated.
- My HTML still shows 19 errors with 3 warnings, which is down from 31 errors with 3 warnings.
• Although most of these errors are directly from the 'Active Content' JavaScript that Dreamweaver places within your HTML when you insert Flash SWF files on your page. So I don't think I can even correct that.
• The next series of errors concern the P element. Which I think are because in 5 Paragraphs in a row, I gave them each the same relationship attribute (rel="lightbox[blog02]"). Why else would these paragraphs come up as errors when every other paragraph is perfectly fine? The errors the validator says are happening, aren't happening. It says that certain P tags aren't closed and it's not true, I can see with my own eyes that they are. I think the 'rel' values are confusing the validator?
All the major errors I took care of though. I replaced all the repeating ID attributes with CLASS attributes. I really thought that would have done it, but no. However, at least I'm no longer getting ID errors when attempting to validate.
So now I'm stumped.
I have no clue what to do next with something I thought would be so simple. I mean give me a break. I'm just trying to BOLD a line of text...smh.
So currently every browser, including the illicit ie6, shows the BOLD...BUT NOT IE7.
Sorry for the all caps, it's just so ridiculous to me.
Although I learned that validating your styles and sites is an important step in publishing your site. I also learned how to properly use ID and CLASS attributes.
However if anyone out there can point me in the right direction, it would still be very much appreciated. Thanks.

How-to get Font weight information while reading a PDF document

Hello everyone
it seems that the available tools to read PDF documents from Java don't allow to get font weight informations about the tokens read from PDF.
I need to know if a character is bold in order to recognize if it could be part of a paragraph's title.
is there a way to keep this information? (now I'm using PDFBox but it seems to allow only to get the PDF content as plain text, without keeping this kind of font weight info...)
thanks sincerely a lot
to anyone who would be so kind to help me
;)

I've already read the wiki and the examples about iText, and also the two free tutorial chapters, but it seems iText doesn't allow to check the font character of a pre-existing PDF document,,it only allows to create document with a specified font but this is not what I needWell, to tell you the truth, I don't do much with PDF, myself, I only believe (from anecdotal evidence) that iText is much better than PDFBox. Have you downloaded it and tried a few things, or just read some of the docu? I am fairly sure that if you designate a font, there is probably a way to retreive this font as well, although not necessarily. Download it and play around a bit.

Font weight has no effect in legend in flex 4

Font weight,Font size has no effect in legend in line chart. Also i have trouble with date time axis.What should i do about it

Good question. That is the funny thing! With echo %classpath% everything seems to be o.k. But not one of my java editors will recognize this package. When I use this package on my other computer (XP Home) everything will be recognize correctly.
The only way for me was to kill alle entries in all classes which are defining the package name. But this solves my main problem only temoprarry.
P.S. Sorry , English is not my native language ;-).

Font smoothing issues

Hi all. I noticed some others were complaining about font smoothing not seeming to work in Carbon applications (e.g. Camino, Firefox, MS Word and even iTunes). It seems the subpixel font-aliasing system preference (e.g. light) is ignored and, instead, the ugly CRT font smoothing is used.
I am puzzled this has not received a lot of attention, since it immediately bothered me when I received my Macbook Pro today.
Is everyone experiencing this font smoothing problem? I used the Migration Assistant to copy all files from my previous (Tiger-installed) Powerbook. Does anyone not having used the Migration Assistant also suffer from the font smoothing issue?
For more info, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1829478&#1829478
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:

OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4 - font leading issues

Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4
Recently upgraded OS and Quark and my documents that use the font Avenir are not displaying correctly. Fonts leading has expanded so anywhere Avenir is used, the leading changes the layout and most text boxes are overset.
- leading is set to Auto
- do not use a font manager, I use FontBook- checked usage and font is not missing
- deleted Avenir, emptied font cache, restarted and issue still exists- made a new user, packaged a file, opened in new user and issue still exists
- not just one file, issue exists in every file I made that uses Avenir in my archive- had my colleague open the same archived files on their computers and files were correct
- had colleague send me Avenir font, deleted out of my library, reloaded font and issue still exists
- deleted font out of my library and just used Avenir system font, issue still exists- deleted Quark and re-uploaded, issue still exists
- re-uploaded OS, issue still exists- did a thumbnail transfer of items from old doc to a new doc, issue still exists
- have spent over 6 hours on the phone with Quark support and have numerous messages back and forth in a job ticket, no resolution
I would not normally use Quark, but a client reuqests it. I suspect I might have a corrupted system font but I am unsure. 3 weeks behind schedule on my project and am desperate for help. Any ideas?

I just found out my E3000 was no longer compatible with making a Guest Access password. Spent a ton of time online chatting with a Linksys/Cisco rep who told me it was not longer compatible with the newer operating systems...BUT THIS IS A LIE! My E3000 works great with Yosemite. A couple of things you need to know. 1. You can no longer use the Cisco Connect CD to set up a Guest PW. It has been replaced by a handy App, that you can download from the App store: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=156285 2. You can change the settings on your Wifi router directly from this app. No need to go into the 192.168.1.1 site and configure it but if you want to, you still can do this. On the website, there is no way to configure the GUEST settings unfortunately.... 3. You can configure a Guess Access code and set the number of computers allowed to use it at one time on the App. After you set the code, it will bring you off line then online again. Make sure you log in to your WIFI network under both Guest and your WIFI network to see if works. For some reason, it took some time for my iPhone to bring me to the Guest sign-in page, but I eventually switched the ON/Off button on the Guest Password setup and it worked. All guests should be redirected to a CISCO SIGN-IN page where they can log in with the guest Password. 4. I can't believe the customer reps didn't tell me immediately about this app! I gave it 1 star as it wasn't working very well until I reset everything and started over. Maybe that was just my incompetence.... Good luck! My 5 yr old dual band router is still working very well! No need to get a new one to be compatible with Yosemite!

Font display issues

Upgraded to Lion on an iMac, now I have strange font display issues across applications and in browsers and specifically with numbers, somethimes letters.

Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
<blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
<sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts. I enable ant-aliasing. I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full. I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI. This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
khotkeys needs to be running. I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc. I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
Restart X
Go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for. Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field. Save.
Then go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys. Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created. (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
Hope this helps,
pudge

PDF Merging and font dropping issue

Please advise me the difference between the process of combine PDF and single page insertion in existing PDF through Adobe Acrobat. The reason being in single page insertion we are experiencing font drop issues whereas when we use combine PDF option then no problem is there.
Thanks

You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

Hello
This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).

just want to add that overall fonts look blurry and they are not very sharp.
