Odd rendering of SWING and text

I am buffled. We have a compiled application that's been performing great on hundreds of other machines. Yesterday 2 of machines produced similar behavior-swing components do not render the way they should.
Eg. Tabbed pane tabs are larger than the default, text boxes appear wider, and text is situated in a very odd manner.
Here's a screenshot.
you can tell that the problem involves only some text boxes, tables, combo boxes, howeber, buttons seem to be generally unaffected.
Does anyone know what interferance may cause this?

We're using packaged JRE, so technically there should be no conflict with other versions.
OS-Windows XP, well tested, well behaved on all other machines. User settings-the machine (at least according to their IT) is an image. Other images behave as expected.Well there's got to be a reason why this displays differently on just one machine, and if you are running the same code, then this can only be a difference in configurations.

  • Rendering Drop Shadows and Text

    You know... for a system that can play 16 video streams in HD and dynamically adjusts the playback quality to handle all of that to play in real time......
    why does a drop shadow and crawling text require a render on 2 streams of SD video?
    I'm editing plain NTSC 29.97 DV footage..... my sequence settings are the same as my clips... all footage plays fine and generates a green preview bar for when I start getting complicated..... but when i add a drop shadow....... no matter what.... no matter how many streams are on... (even if it's only one) red render required to play.
    It just seems odd that it can handle so much more information than what a drop shadow seems to generate..... the same happens with scrolling or crawling text. Is there anyway to get this in a preview..... so i don't have to spend 4 minutes rendering something that might not even work the way I want it to in the first place?

    the drop shadow will be fine once the processing is offloaded to the GPU

  • Swing and Active rendering problem

    Hopefully this is the right place to post. I have a problem with active rendering and swing. Basically my code below messes up when I start rendering the swing either using repaint() or paint(g).

    I really have no idea what your code is trying to do, but a few comments.
    1) There is no need to use a BufferStrategy since Swing is double buffered automatically
    2) Don't use a while loop with a Thread.sleep(). Chances are the GUI EDT is sleeping which makes the GUI unresponsive
    3) Use a Swing Timer for animation.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

  • Rendering Marker and Text with Rotation

    It is my understanding currently there is no support for rendering maps with rotated markers and texts. It would be nice if this functionality is supported. When will this be supported?
    Thanks

    You can use the API method addTextStyle to create a dynamic text style where you can pass a size based on the map scale. But you have to compute this size on your application. Then assign this text style as your theme label style.

  • Rendering location and text

    Hi
    I am rendering village locations using marker style and text style. I am using mapviewer11ea.Following is the xml format of this.
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <styling_rules>
    <rule column="MSLINK">
    <features style="M.MAJOR_VILLAGES"> </features>
    <label column="NAME" style="T.MAJOR_VILLAGES"> 1 </label>
    </rule>
    </styling_rules>
    Now it renders village location and village name without any problem. For identifying feature [getting informtion of selected village] I need to hilite this location and place marker where the mouse has clicked. For placing marker i am using mapviewer.addPointFeature(...) and for hiliting the selected village I am using mapViewer.addJDBCTheme(...) methods. But in the both the cases the text[village name] will go off [ text will disappear].
    Please give me suggession to solve this
    Thnaks,
    Sujnan

    Hi,
    Thanks for replay.
    Here is my addPointFeature and addJDBCTheme methods
    Point2D pt = mapViewer.getUserPoint(intScreenX, intScreenY);
    mapViewer.addPointFeature(pt.getX(), pt.getY(), 81993, M.CYAN PIN, null, null, null);
    where intScreenX, intScreenY are screen coordinates.
    and addJDBCTheme method is
    mapViewer.addJDBCTheme("MapDataSource", "Hilite", strQuery, "geom", "81993", "M.HILITE_POINT" , null, null, false);
    Xml style definition for M.HILITE_POINT is

  • Odd rendering in idvd - bad fonts

    Idvd is taking a good FCE .mov file and putting it together with odd shaped blocks of text - ie all my titling from live title is good except for 2 titles that are blown way up . they all come from the same template
    2 Every time i try to use idvd it wants to use a font called algerian - the only problem is tat algerian ***** and isnt anywhere on my machine- i have combed all directories looking for it . how do i tell idvd not to try to use that font?

    Hello smokn
    I'd recommend you install the Infinality patches:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … d_packages
    The package 'freetype2-infinality' is in the AUR (if you're on a 64bit system you'll need lib32-freetype2 from multilib)
    You'll get notifications of conflicting packages on the system, this is notmal, the Infinfality suite will replace a lot of font types.
    Keep in mind this is just a recommendation for English font types, it's what I use to ensure my system renders fonts properly and hasn't failed me on any of my machines yet.

  • High bill with unusual calls and texts from non-functioning numbers?

    We have a family share plan with 3 phones, one phone for my husband and two phones for our employees.  Our usual phone bill runs around $150.  Our last bill was over $600, the majority charges being on one of our employee's lines.  This particular employee has been with us for over 10 years, and has always been extremely trustworthy and very frugal in his usage of his phone to make personal calls (very infrequent and always less than 5 minutes in duration, unless made during the free nights and weekends timeframe).  Our latest bill showed over 1,000 texts to/from his phone, as well as over 3,000 peak calling minutes (both to/from his phone) alone.  Many of the peak calls are lengthy in duration (30+ minutes, up to 120 minutes).  I realize this post is long, so will divide it into headings so that it makes more sense:
    Information on usage:
    Our employee insists that he did not make these calls and texts (he does not even know how to text), and what is odd about the numbers that appear on the detail (both text and voice) is that they fit into one of two categories:
    1.  There are calls to two particular non-local area code numbers (and possibly bogus, as they have area codes 523 and 352(?)).  When I call the two numbers, I get the following messages:
    From my landline:  When called from my landline, adding a "1" before the 10 digit number, I get the recording stating that "your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"
    From a cell number- When calling from my own VZW phone (on separate account from husband's), I get a VZW message that the number "has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service"
    2. They are local area code numbers, but when I call the number, I get a recording asking me to enter my pin number (in other words, they are numbers that cannot receive incoming calls, but according to our bill, have not only made calls to our employee's phone, but also received calls.  I have done an online lookup on these numbers and they are all cell phones.
    3.  When I have tried to text the non-local numbers from my VZW phone, I get messages back stating that these are landline numbers and cannot be texted; when I text the local numbers, I have texted a generic message along the lines of "I can't reach you on the phone.  Please call me as soon as you can" but I do not receive a call back.
    We cannot speak directly with our employee right now (he is in Mexico to pick up his elderly grandmother),  nor can we access our employee's phone to check the log, call history, etc. because he has the phone with him.  Due to this, when we discovered the high usage, we immediately "suspended" the phone line so that no calls could be made or received.  Subsequent to suspending the line, we have talked to his family a couple of times -- one time he happened to call them on another line, so we talked to him "indirectly" through a family member on another line with him.  He was alarmed about the calls and insists he did not make them. 
    He does have children but they are forbidden (by him) from using the phone, and he states that he always keeps the phone in a case on his hip, thus no one else has access to the phone.  To go even further, it seems that most all of the calls to these unusual numbers are made on weekdays, during school hours, so I feel sure the calls were not made by his kids.
    Calls to Verizon:  When we first called Verizon, they suggested we suspend the phone until we could speak to our employee.  Subsequent to our indirect conversation with him mentioned above, we called them back and told them he stated that he did not make the calls nor send the texts, and that we believed the phone might have been compromised, cloned, hijacked or whatever.  First, the customer svc rep looked at our account and suggested that we put an unlimited text on the phone for the current unbilled usage (there were a lot of texts, and we have no text plan on the employee's phone), and then remove that plan once we get to the bottom of this matter. 
    Due to our concern about fraudulent usage, the customer svc. rep called the fraud dept. while my husband was holding on the line.  She came back on the line and told my husband that the fraud dept. said that "it cannot be fraud because if it was, there would be thousands of dollars in international long distance to countries like Pakistan and India." (WTH?)  Also, she said that it couldn't be fraud "because texts were sent to and from the telephone number so we know it was your phone."  (another WTH?)
    She then went on to say that it looks like texts were sent to international numbers (???) recently (these same 523 and 352 area code numbers I referred to above).  Number one, if these were international texts, it seems odd to me that these texts show up on our billed and unbilled activity as "domestic text" and there is no premium charge assessed to our account for international texts.  Number two, if these numbers were international numbers, I imagine that we would be charged for outgoing international calls, which we were not.  Further, I imagine that the numbers would be displayed on our bill in other than a ten digit format, but am not sure, as no one has ever made an international call or text on our phone.
    Next steps:
    Does anyone have advice for the next steps we should take and how we can get to someone in customer service who can actually help us with this problem, instead of what we experienced on our previous call?  Can we demand that Verizon launch an investigation through its fraud department on the activity on this phone, or is this at the discretion of VZW to launch an investigation?  I am unsure, since this was not given as an option by the customer service rep... 
    If we can get Verizon to launch an investigation, is payment of the portion of the bill with the unusual and disputed usage (namely, that which is over and above the usual usage) waived pending the investigation results, or will we have to pay the entire bill to both avoid having the phones turned off, as well as any detrimental effects to our credit?  We've been hit hard by the economy, both personally (I am out of work right now) and business wise (my husband's business has been doing only about 25% of its usual business), and we don't have the extra $$ for the bill unless we take it out of our grocery budget. 
    If anyone has any insight, suggestions or otherwise, I sure would appreciate it.  Sorry for the lengthy first post, but I thought it would be helpful to outline as much about the situation as I could in order that people could respond.  Thanks in advance!

    kbinga,
    I know this is a confusing and frustrating situation for you. I would be happy to review the account in detail to see what is happening with the usage and charges to ensure it does not continue to be a problem for you. Please send me a direct message for further support assistance.
    Thank you!

  • Display key and text by WAD command in custom structure hierarchy

    Hi everybody,
    I have a query using a custom structure with hierarchy layout. As usual the structure does only display its text as descriptions but I can enable the display the key in BEx Web by right-click on the analysis item --> Properties --> Characteristic --> Display. Unfortunately these setting can not be defined directly in the structure within the Query Designer.
    For a workaround I put the query into a web template, in which I used the Set Presentation (SET_PRESENTATION) command to enable key and text display from the start. Hence I put that command in the wem template parameters Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING). Everything is working properly and makes me very happy.
    But... there is one thing missing, I would like to implement... I want a toggle button, which allows the user to switch between key and text display and text display. Unfortunately setting the same command from Action Before First Rendering (ACTION_BEFORE_FIRST_RENDERING on a various button does not working. The button command only affects data rows of the leaves of the structure hierarchy. All parent nodes do not change their appearance.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thank you for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,
    I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.
    best regards,

  • Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder

    I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
    The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
    I've found two solutions to this problem:
    1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
    2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
    Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
    I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.

    No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
    My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
    So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
    To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
    I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
    Well, enough rambling.
    To put it simple:
    Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
    Thanks!

  • HELP! Fuzzy images and text in Muse

    Hi
    I am going to preface this post by admitting that I am a complete amateur, just trying to create a simple but work-able and professional looking website for my business.
    I am new to Muse (previously used a similar program to create my sites) and have found navigating around the program quite easy. BUT my whole site looks fuzzy.. In 'design' mode and also when previewed (both in Muse and in browser).
    I would really appreciate any help that you could give me. If there is a way to upload it to a temporary site for you to give me advice? Or if I can send the .muse file to someone to check for me?
    Thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate it
    Lauren
    Here is a screen shot of the home master when previewed in Muse - you can see the logo, menu, background and text are all fuzzy...

    Please click "Publish" enter a name for your site and click "OK". This will create a free temporary website on Adobe Business Catalyst. You can then post the URL for that site here for the community to look at.
    A couple questions:
    1) I expect you're on a Retina Mac?
    2) Text appears to be images or System fonts? Whenever possible you want to use a Web Font. If none of the Web Font choices fit your need, then check the "Web Safe" fonts. If you still come up dry, then use a System font as a last resort. When using a system font Muse will convert it to an image. This will result in slower page load times in the browser and (in some cases) lower quality rendering of the type. Whenever possible, if you use a System font, you'll want to set the fill on the text frame to be opaque (a solid fill color, 100% opaque gradient or 100% opaque image that fills the complete text frame). If the text frame contains any transparent areas, then the image version of it will have lower quality anti-aliasing, edges, on the type.

  • Pdf (with graphics and text) in the email body

    When I place an pdf (with graphics and text) in the body of my email using Mac Mail my recipient sees them as attachments only. I am trying to find a way of presenting a formatted email with graphics that will appear the same way to all recipients, but a pdf frequently ends up being an attachment instead of staying in the body. The pdf  file doesn’t seem to always show up in the body as created. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

  • Swing - colored text in Combo Box?

    Hello!
    I'm playing around with swing, and i would like to display a "coloured" list in my combobox. The user can select "red","green" and so one. "Red" should be written in red, "green" in green..
    Is this possible??
    I can only change the color of the whole list, with "myComboBox.setForeground(Color.red)"...

    You should provide a new Renderer for your combo box. look at the javax.swing.ListCellRenderer interface

  • All email and texts gone

    Hello,
    I have lost all of my email and texts from my Z10. Furthermore I have lost all my email (Gmail) from 15 November until today period; when I sign into Gmail on my desktop it is gone as well, nothing in the Trash bin even. I have not updated the software recently nor have I added any new apps, I'm really at a loss. The only odd behaviour I noticed happened this morning (which as far as I can tell is when I lost the info), when I woke up I had an Amazon email - as I do every morning - in my hub, the only correspondence to arrive overnight. When I tried to delete it I couldn't, the delete option would appear, I'd select it and then nothing would happen. I tried a couple of times and then gave up figuring I'd take a closer look at it later. When I came back to it a couple of hours later the email was gone along with all of my texts, BBM messages appear unaffected. Any ideas? Obviously the permanent loss of email is a show stopper for me.

  • Broadcast/SD Titles and Text: Workflow

    I'm curious what, when doing Broadcast Titles and Text, is your workflow.
    Do you exclusively make slates in Illustrator etc.? Do they look significantly better and function better for Broadcast product than making same in LIveType or Motion. Is there a big quality advantage in Vector based Titles/Text
    Do you make any of your Titles/Text in LiveType or Motion.
    Is there another workflow for high quality Titles/Text you would recommend?
    Thanks

    I've used both LiveType and Motion for titling some very large QuickTime files (1440 x 900 @ 25fps) and the quality is perfect. As high a quality as you could ask for.
    I can understand the rationale for saying that Illustrator would give better results that PhotoShop (vector vs. raster), but if you're working with the native LiveType file in FCP you're still in a vector environment (at least I think so - anyone care to comment?).
    It's the same argument for using vector-based files rather than pixel based ones for DTP applications that are going to be printed by a commercial printer: The printer's RIP rasterises the file just once at the correct imaging resolution.
    To my mind, a vector is a vector: I can't see how Illustrator can give you 'better' vectors than LiveType or Motion - if you're using FCP to 'RIP' either of the original files to pixels, that is. Perhaps using a 3rd party rendering engine would give you better quality, in the same way that different PostScript RIPs give better quality than others.
    Maybe that's the reason why some people use Illustrator - as the non-FCP RIP can't handle native LiveType/Motion files?
