No more fixed size fonts

OTN articles like this one:
http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/04-
may/o34cover_feature.html
are using a fixed font size. The page does not respond to the browser View > Text Size menu command. This makes it difficult for me to read. Why not use a relative font size setting like xsmall and then we can resize the font if our eyesight is not so good.
Fixed sized fonts seem to be very popular with webmasters. I guess the View > Text Size option should just be removed from browsers and we can get a magnifying glass.

FWIW, it is possible to increase browser text size when using Mozilla.

    Hi Stephan,
    this solved placing both animation on one page.  Make sure all your fonts are called out in the <head> section like for example:
    <script>var __adobewebfontsappname__="dreamweaver"</script>
    <script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/quicksand:n3,n4:default.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    Dreamweaver does this automatic for you.  If you are having a font conflict I recommend under command  (if you are using dreamweaver)
    Clean up the font Tag and add only the ones that you are using again,  sometimes they accumulate.
    Good Luck.

  • How to change the SIZE FONT of the text description in ESS

    Hi Forum
       My key user wants the size font  more bigger in the areas and subarea´s of ESS. I have changed then font of the standard text in the Theme Editor. I think that this is a property in the Web Dynpro Application and only modifying it this could be more bigger, but this means change the standard appliction of ESS.
    Any idea ?
    Thnks
    Josué Cruz

    Josué,
    The changes applied to theme should work, but also you can consider this workarounds:
    For only one user, He/She can increase all fonts in general by using font increase tool from the internet browser;
    - In IE: View > Font Size > Larger or Largest
    - In Firefox: View > Zoom > Zoom In
    Do iview Personalization, by opening in Preview mode and doing Ctrl+Right click. Then, for the corresponding text you can select in Design field "Title 2", "Title 1", ...

  • How to set a fixed size window, so that moving 2D pictures wouldnt go off?

    Hi
    I dont if this question has been asked or no & also not sure if its right to be posted here as my problem is a java 2D graphics problem in swing environment.
    I want to know is how can i set the window to a fixed size with boundaries such that my graphics 2D picture in the swing window will not go off the edges of window when i do some transformations with the 2D picture.
    For e.g:
    so far ive got a frame window of size 350 by 350 with my 2D picture inside it made up of shapes etc...
    when i apply some transformation to it (moving it) for a distance it goes disappeared off window beyond 350 and will come back if i move it back.
    So how do i restrict the window so that when picture reaches the edge, it will not be able to move any further?
    Do i set some specific bounds to the JFrame?
    i hope i've explained it properly
    Thanks

    In a 2D coordinate system the horizontal values are represented by some letter, usually x. In the same coordinate system the vertical values are classically represented by y.
    Note: In your code, if you wish, you can replace x and y with anything you desire--p and q or perhaps jeff and alice or any variable name you wish, but for simplicity, and usually ease of understanding because almost everyone has had 100's of math problems drilled into their head with (x, y), x and y are used as convention.
    In Java the screen coordinates run from 0 to the width-1 for x and 0 to height-1 for y of the component you are using to display.
    So logically when you have a value of x or y that goes beyond the addressable bounds of your display, then you have to make some type of adjustment--when your value dips below 0, you reset it to 0, when your value goes above what ever width-1 or height-1 then you have to set that value to width-1 or height-1.
    This all assumes that when you hit the wall, floor, or ceiling you stick there until you change directions--if you wish to wrap then you set your value to the opposite bound--so if you go below 0, you would then pop out back in on the right side--your appropriate x would be set to width-1 instead of 0 and in the case of y going below 0 your y would be set to height-1. This is also to say that when you descend below your minimum, then you would pop back out on the opposite side you went out on--so x greater then width-1 would get set to 0 and y greater than height-1 would get set to 0.
    That is not even a start on if you want to include elastic collisions, angle of impact, any type of deceleration force, or anything else.
    In any case... I would recommend that you add more math to your studies, I've never met an engineer or computer science grad that said: "Wow, I really regret taking all that math in college (or HS), I never use it."

    i need to change standard font and fixed-width font in my ipad 2, but i can not find safari setting menu. it is alower me to change that?

    Assuming the screenshots are of the same page, the one that's taller is either taller because the minimum page height has been changed or due to some page content (that's not marked as a Footer Item) being located in the new space. This may be an empty text frame or the transparent area of a widget, text frame or other object.

  • How to set the fix size jframe window

    when I run the jframe ,the jframe window size is very small
    1)how to set the fix size jframe window??
    2)how to set the jframe cannot change the window size??
    thx~~

    1. You can set the size by calling JFrame's method setSize. There are two versions of this method: (1) setSize(int width, int height) and (2) setSize(Dimension d). Note, that when you use this method to set the frame size, you don't have to call JFrame's pack method.
    2. JFrame has a method called setResizable(boolean resizable) which you can call with the argument false.
    Without any ill intent, these questions are regarding something that is very easily answered by looking at the documentation for the JFrame class. I suggest to anyone working with swing to at least look briefly through the base classes they're extending before giving up. In my experience it is always more gratifying to figure things out on my own than asking someone. But please don't take this the wrong way, I respect people who seek out help in order to further their knowledge, instead of just giving up.

  • Spacing with fixed space fonts

    Using RoboHelp for Word 6, Build 099 for a large Help
    project. We are converting from WinHelp to HTML Help. One topic
    consists of a large block of text (lots of columns in a fixed space
    font - Courier New) with popups annotating the text.
    With WinHelp the vertical allignment is fine. When the HTML
    Help is compiled, multiple spaces appear to be compressed to a
    single space making the output unreadable.
    For example we get :
    |===============================================|
    | |
    | Developed by |

    | XP Software November, 2004 |
    | Data File Version ---> 11.7 |
    | Serial Number: 42-xxx-0000 |
    | XP Software (Evaluation) |
    *===============================================*
    Multiple spaces are need to make the right end of the boxes
    line up. Columns with numbers are worse.
    Is there any way to compile forcing the multiple spaces to
    remain?

    TEB008 -
    In Word, highlight the topic, and do a Word search-n-replace
    of spaces with no-break spaces. You'll see those options in the

    Hi,
    thank you for your fast reply. Please find attached my code where I marked the array creation with green circles and the control part with a red one. I removed all the other stuff and loops which are not relevant here (heart beat loop, value initialization, DMA fifo, etc). The sampling rate should be up to 50kS/s for capturing signals with a frequency of the range of 10 to 500Hz).
    @ Spectre Dave:
    I would like to do it in the FPGA because my host part (cRIO PPC) is already overloaded and I had a lot of problems to get it running and save the data to a file with the high sampling rate (50kS/s). I was thinking that simple array functions would be an easy thing for an FPGA. Or am I wrong??
    Please let me know if you have any idea or if you need more information.
    Thank you very much and best regards
    Andreas

  • [iPhone] [Bug] Fixed Width Fonts Aren't

    Aren't fixed width, that is. I imagine they're still fonts. =)
    Recently I've been doing some ASCII art applications on the iPhone and I've noticed that things don't render the way I expect. I threw together some quick demonstration images of boxes rendered with fixed width fonts in TextMate.app and then on the iPhone simulator to show the difference. Although I used TextMate.app, similar results were found using TextEdit.app.
    First some boxes rendered in the fixed width font Monaco 12 pt in TextMate.app
    The first is a large 6x6 box with an interior of 5x5 spaces.
    The second box uses tabs. This is not an important box really--it's expected that different apps use different lengths for tab. In fact, this box looks completely different in TextEdit.app where the tabs are much wider. Don't worry too much about box number 2.
    The next box is a 3x3 box with one space in the center, and the last box is a 4x4 box with... well, you get the idea. Note how all boxes render as squares correctly.
    Now here's an image of the same boxes rendered with Monaco 12 pt on the iPhone's UITextView:
    Some problems are immediately visible. White space has some width, but it's far too small. I'm not too concerned about the tabs (box #2) since as I said above, I expect some variance in tabs, but the rest are pretty bad, especially box #3 whose single space looks positively anorexic. I focus a lot on white space here, because it's notable, but also notice that the + is wider than either the - or | as well.
    The Monaco font on the iPhone is not fixed width.
    The situation with Courier 12pt is slightly better but still has issues:
    Courier 12 pt on TextMate.app:
    Courier 12 pt on the iPhone:
    Unlike Monaco this is almost correct. Ignore box #2 again--I don't expect tab to work out. Courier doesn't have the same issue Monaco has with most characters. |, +, and - are all taking up the same width. However, as the boxes grow larger (Boxes 3, 4, and 1), the consecutive spaces start to show more and more how they're slightly too thin. It's barely perceptible in box 3, noticeable in box 4, and impossible to miss in box 1.
    It looks like the Courier font on iPhone has a space which is too narrow to be fixed width.
    As far as other things to try: I tried this with Andale Mono and Courier New as well with similar results. Also, although I've used a UITextView here, it also happens if you render a UIWebView containing the boxes inside of <pre> tags as well as outside of <pre> tags but use   for spaces.
    Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? Is there a fix or something I'm missing? Or is this a bug?
    Thanks!

    Bump. =(

  • Changing page size from legal to letter with same size font when printed

    I have the problem that I get a pdf which is in legal size format.  I need to print this in letter size, sign it and re-scan it and send via email to a person who then needs to print it and sign it and scan it.  What is happening is the person who I have to send this too can only scan letter size paper.  I can make the legal size form print, (shink to fit printable area), as letter size but the font becomes so small that it is unreadable.  What I need to do is resize the legal to letter but keep the same size font.  I expect this to make the document 2 pages but that is fine.  I can not find how to do this.  I have Adobe 9.
    [email protected]

    Does the original legal size document content occupy more space than would fit on 8.5x11? If not, then you can simply set the page size in print driver properties to letter, and in the Page Handling area of the Print dialog box tell it:
    Page Scaling: None
    check: Auto-Rotate and Center
    do not check: Choose paper source by PDF page size - this will force it to print on the paper selected in the print driver properties.
    If the actual content is too large to print on the forced paper, then you need to (in the Page Handling area of the print dialog) tell it:
    Page Scaling: Tile large pages
    This will allow the remaining content to print on a second page

  • How do I set a fixed size for a window (frame) :P

    hello!
    Was wondering if I can set fix dimensions (size) for a window(frame) in Java.
    Background: I have a menu and when I click on one of the options a window opens but I hate the fact that I can enlarge it...wish it would be fixed sized and have scroll instead... :P
    any ideas?
    many thanks!
    Cristina

    sorry for not using the swing forum but i considered java programming forum as more or less enclosing all problems Do you understand how to use forums? First you should be searching the forums to see if you questions has been asked and answered before. (Very few questions posted in the forums are original). It makes sense to search the forum where the questions should have been posted in the first place.
    For example, if you had searched the Swing forum using "fixed size jframe" you would have found this posting at the top of the search results:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=712407
    So you would have had your question answered in less than a minute and we wouldn't have wasted time answering a question that has already been answered.
    A win-win situtation for everybody.

  • Center a Fixed Size Marquee ?

    I am using CS2 and would like to place a fixed size marquee on an image and center it to an image. Does anyone know how I can do this please ?

    This is more accurate.
    Create guides at 50% horizontal and 50% vertical.
    Draw a rectangular marquee approximately.
    Preass Ctrl+T to transform the selection.
    Enter the X and Y sizes in the options bar.
    Drag the marquee to align the centre point with the intersection of the guides.
    Press Enter.

    How can I obtain that?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Best regards
    Nicola

    Hi Nicola,
    To remove the detailed navigation header u need to edit the default frame workpage.
    Open the Default frame work page
    >>select the desktop inner page and open for editing
    >>select the detailed navigation iview and open for editing
    >> find the property 'Show Object Name in Tray' set that property to false.
    >>Save and close
    Thats all, the header will not be displayed any more.
    Hope this Helps
