Poor Font Rendering - Not very smooth!

My fonts are rendering poorly in Indesign even when viewing at 100% viewed as High Quality Display.
Am working on an iMac - Indesign CC. Trying to put a Resume together. Macs own program "Pages" actually seems to be rendering smoother fonts.
Would appreciate any advice

Thanks Jeffrey much appreciated. Had already got AA ticked in preferences...although it is better than when turned off Fonts and dotted lines still look somewhat pixelated compared to say text in "Pages" - Macs version of Word.
Cheers
Rob

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

Jerky, stutterry, not very smooth playback on apple tv2

i have recently converted some mkv 720p files using handbrakes appletv2 setting and when i watch them on my 40" sony tv the playback is a little bit 'jerky' i.e.not very smooth. if i watch the same file on my iMac I'm sure they play perfect. anyone got any ideas? would apple tv3 play them better ? or could it be my hdmi lead?

No its your conversion settings.

[SOLVED]A nice sharp font renderer (not as sharp as windows)

Is there another font renderer out there? I tried freetype the default and that gives me blurry edges. Infinality is not better in my opinion. Same blurry edges too many configurations. Are there any other renderers out there?

### INFINALITY ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES FOR EXTRA RUN-TIME OPTIONS ##
# These environment variables require that their respective patches
# from http://www.infinality.net have been applied to the Freetype
# installation you are using. They will do abolutely
# nothing otherwise!
# This file should be copied to /etc/profile.d/ for system-wide
# effects and/or included in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile for per-user
# effects:
# . ~/path/to/this/file/infinality-settings.sh
# Of course, the per-user settings will override the system-wide
# settings. Default values indicated below will be used when the
# environment variables below are not defined.
# When I say "Default:" below, I'm referring to the default if no
# environment variables are set. Generally this ends up being

################## EXPLANATION OF SETTINGS ######################
# SET_XFT_SETTINGS
# Should the below Xft settings be set globally by this script? (true/false)
SET_XFT_SETTINGS=true
# XFT settings are like a red-headed stepchild that should be beaten severely.
# These only affect legacy programs, and *parts* of some modern programs like
# google-chrome. We only deal with these settings because we have to, otherwise
# crap will slip by. I recommend using hintslight and autohint as the defaults
# normally in local.conf. The reason hintfull and autohint:0 is needed here
# because otherwise some programs will occassionally request slight hinting for
# a truetype font. When a program does this, Freetype automatically uses the
# autohinter, when you may actually want it to be rendered with the TT hinter,
# (if specified in local.conf). So setting this to hintfull guarantees that the
# TT font will be rendered with the TT hinter (assuming it is specified in
# /etc/fonts/local.conf to be rendered that way.) For TT fonts that you want
# rendered with autohint, specifiying that in the /etc/fonts/local.conf
# should be enough. But you might think that by setting this to hintfull
# that it's going to use Freetype's full autohinting (which we *completely*
# avoid) for fonts you want autohinted. This is where
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOFIT_FORCE_SLIGHT_HINTING comes in. It tells freetype to
# use slight hinting on fonts set for autohinting, even if the program requests
# full autohinting. Freetype's full hinting only looks OK under certain
# circumstances. The goal of infinality is to make infinality hinting look
# good all the time.

# INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS
# This is a modified version of the patch here:
# http://levelsofdetail.kendeeter.com/2008/12/dynamic_fir_filter_patch.html
# Allows you to adjust the FIR filter at runtime instead of at
# compile time. The idea is to have values add up to 100, and be
# symmetrical around the middle value. If the values add up to
# more than 100, the glyphs will appear darker. If less than 100,
# lighter. I recommend using this method to make glyphs darker
# or lighter globally as opposed to using the gamma option (see note in
# the gamma option).
# Here are some samples of various filter parameters:
# (this has been changed to use integers between 0 and 100 to
# avoid problems with regional differences like comma for decimal point)
# Strong Extra Smooth "15 20 30 20 15" (extra smooth, natural weight)
# Extra Smooth "20 20 30 20 20" (extra smooth, extra weight)
# Smooth "15 20 32 20 15" (smooth, natural weight)
# Stronger Gibson "11 22 38 22 11" (smooth, extra weight)
# Gibson "11 22 33 22 11" (smooth, natural weight)
# Freetype Light "00 33 34 33 00" (sharp, natural weight) # freetype's "light" LCD filter
# Freetype Default "06 25 44 25 06" (sharp, extra weight) # freetype's default
# Extra Sharp "00 35 35 35 00" (extra sharp, extra weight) # freetype's "light" LCD filter on acid
# Windows uses something more sharp, maybe along the lines of Freetype's default
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: [Freetype's default]
# Recommended: "11 22 38 22 11" (too dark / smooth for some)

export INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS="11 22 38 22 11"
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH
# This performs analysis on each glyph and determines an amount
# to shift the glyph, left or right, so that it aligns better to
# pixel boundaries.
# This results in subtley cleaner looking stems, at the expense of
# proper distances between glyphs. This is only active for sizes
# 10 px or greater and does not apply to bold or italic fonts.
# There are also exceptions on a small number of fonts that I've
# not been able to render nicely with alignment enabled. In those
# cases, a forced translation is applied instead.
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no shifting whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 100 corresponds to a full move to a snap zone defined by
# the snapping algorithm, be it left or right. This
# is the full amount any glyph could be moved in order to make it
# align to the pixel.
# Values inbetween act as caps. If the algorithm determines that it
# wants to move the glyph .33 of a pixel to the left, but the value
# is set to 50 (i.e. 50%), then the maximum move that would be allowed
# is 50% of half a pixel, in other words .25. So instead of .33 the
# glyph is moved .25 of a pixel.
# For a subtle effect that doesn't dramatically affect the glyph, use
# 25 for this and 25 for INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended if you want to use it: 100
export INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH=25
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH
# This performs analysis on each glyph and determines an amount
# to horizontally scale the glyph, so that stems align better to

# performed afterward to account for stem width exaggeration.
# This results in subtley cleaner looking fonts, at the expense of

# This is only active for sizes 10 px or greater and does not
# apply to bold or italic fonts.
# There are also exceptions on a small number of fonts that I've
# not been able to render nicely with fitting enabled. In those
# cases, a forced translation is applied instead.
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no stretching whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 100 corresponds to a full pixel stretch, be outward or inward. This
# is the full amount any glyph could be stretched in order to make it
# align to a pixel boundary. Which direction is chosen is part
# of the art of what I'm trying to do in the code. ;)
# Values inbetween act as caps. If the algorithm determines that it
# wants to stretch the glyph .75 of a pixel outward, but the value
# is set to 50 (i.e. 50%), then the maximum move that would be allowed
# is 50% of a pixel, in other words .50. So instead of .75 the
# glyph is stretched .50 of a pixel.
# For a subtle effect that doesn't dramatically affect the glyph, use

export INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH=25
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_SNAPPING_SLIDING_SCALE
# This allows you to set a ppem at which alignment and fitting
# will reach 100%. As glyphs become larger, more dramatic
# snapping will not affect the glyph shape as much, so it makes
# sense to allow this.
# For fonts that are 10 ppem, the values set above for
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH and
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH will be used. As the ppem
# gradually becomes larger, so will the strength settings, and
# they will reach 100% at the ppem you specify here.
# This is a simple linear scale.
# Possible values:
# 0 means to not use this feature
# 11 and up will set the 100% level to that ppem value
# Anything else is officially undefined, but I still bound it internally.
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
export INFINALITY_FT_STEM_SNAPPING_SLIDING_SCALE=40
# INFINALITY_FT_USE_KNOWN_SETTINGS_ON_SELECTED_FONTS
# This applies largely to certain MS fonts, but some others as well.

# - Use known values for selected fonts & ppems that are known to look
# ok with 100:
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH
# - Use various internal tweaks like compatible widths and other
# font-specific hacks.
# - Use gamma, brightness or contrast adjustments automatically
# on certain fonts. Global settings will still apply afterwards.
# - Enable various forced settings on selective fonts during
# rasterization and stem_alignment.
# If set to TRUE, this will use 100 regardless of the values you have
# specified above. It will not affect fonts that are not in this
# small list.
# Possible values:

# TRUE will enable this feature
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: FALSE
# Recommended: TRUE
export INFINALITY_FT_USE_KNOWN_SETTINGS_ON_SELECTED_FONTS=true
# INFINALITY_FT_CHROMEOS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH
# This enables an algorithm found in ChromeOS for sharpening the
# appearance of glyphs. It is based off this patch:
# http://codereview.chromium.org/3298011/diff/9001/media-libs/freetype/files/freetype-2.3.11-lcd-sharpen.patches
# It gives glyphs a more "grainy" look through some gamma
# correction. It does tend to thin out vertical stems, which
# may be a feature or a bug depending on your taste ;)
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no sharpening whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 25 is good for a subtle effect.
# 50 corresponds to the default ChromeOS value.
# 100 corresponds to maximum sharpening. This usually results in
# something undesirable looking.
# As you increase this amount, it is good to decrease the gamma (2nd value)
# of INFINALITY_FT_PSEUDO_GAMMA, and possibly increase
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_FITTING_STRENGTH and
# INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH, as it seems like the algorithm
# lightens stems that aren't fully on-pixel.
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended: If you're going to use this filter - 50
export INFINALITY_FT_CHROMEOS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH=0
# INFINALITY_FT_WINDOWS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH
# This enables an algorithm developed with the intention to sharpen
# fonts to look similarly to Windows.
# It gives glyphs a more "grainy" look, like the ChromeOS filter
# except it does so more selectively. This prevents the thinning
# of vertical stems that is noticible when a blanket gamma filter
# like the ChromeOS filter is applied.
# I also get a "cleaner" impression from the fonts with this Windows
# style filter. This filter was done by 100% experimentation,
# and there things that could probably be improved.
# Some may argue that I shouldn't be trying to take the shortcomings
# of the MS approach and bring them here. I disagree, as part
# of freedom is having the right to make your fonts look as
# shitty as you'd like.
# Using this filter does somewhat lessen the need to use stem
# fitting and stem alignment, as glyphs appear sharper.
# This setting can be used at the same time as the previous chromeOS
# sharpening, and happens after it in the code.
# Possible values:
# 0 through 100 - think of as percentage of strength
# 0 corresponds to no sharpening whatsoever. In other words, OFF.
# 10-25 is good for a subtle effect while not completely decimating glyphs.
# 50-75 corresponds to probably something in the range that Windows uses.
# 100 corresponds to maximum sharpening.
# Using a high value for this variable along with enabling the
# fringe filter (below) almost eliminates the need
# for INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT to be set to 100,
# and can instead be set at 0. (Setting
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT to 0 prevents missing
# stems in the middle of s. The drawback is that many fonts just look
# way too sharp and grainy at this setting. Your call.)
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended if you want to use this filter: 65
export INFINALITY_FT_WINDOWS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH=10
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT
# When using autohinting, horizontal stems you'd find in E, f, T, -,
# etc. are normally not snapped to full integer pixel heights, meaning
# that you will get a semi-dark fringe on these stems, above or
# below the black line of pixels:
# (- represents the semi-dark pixels)
# Setting this to 100 will force integer pixel heights. Setting it to
# zero will do what Freetype does by default. Anything inbetween will
# act as a weighted average of the two.
# This is disabled when the standard width is found (via voodoo) to be
# less than 1 pixel, in order to prevent the vanishing stem issues on
# letters with diagonal stems like a and s.
# Under most circumstances, this should be set at 100. If you choose to
# not set it to 100, you may want to set INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH
# to a non-zero value in order to reduce fringing.
# Possible values:
# 0 - default Freetype value
# 100 - a full pixel
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended: 100
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT=100
# INFINALITY_FT_USE_VARIOUS_TWEAKS
# - Force autohint when no TT instructions present.
# - Artificially embolden horizontally only.
# - When artificially emboldening, maintain the glyph width.
# - Embolden light and thin-stemmed glyphs automatically.
# - Don't sharpen italics.
# Some fonts look bad when stem aligned at certain ppems, no matter
# what. I've put exceptions in to deal with these, included in
# these tweaks. Georgia and Lucida Grande are examples.
# Possible values:
# true - enable tweaks
# false - do not enable tweaks (do Freetype default)
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: false
# Recommended: true
export INFINALITY_FT_USE_VARIOUS_TWEAKS=true
# INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION
# This does a weighted gamma correction at the LCD filter phase
# PRIOR to the LCD filter. Unfortunately it does not however
# take into account the color on which the glyph is being rendered
# (or for that matter the color of the glyph),
# which would need to happen in X rendering. It is actually
# using the gamma function in calculations though.
# The first value indicates a px value, the second indicates a
# "gamma" value. All sizes less than the px value will be corrected
# on a weighted scale based on the second value.
# The gamma value is commonly between 0.0 and 3.0. Due to localization
# issues, the gamma value should be specified as it's actual value
# multiplied by 100. So a gamma of 1.3 would be 130. In practice,
# I'd stay between 40 and 250.
# Values 1 through 100 will darken the glyph
# Values greater than 100 will lighten the glyph
# Example 1: Darken glyphs that are less than 10 px. With some fonts
# even 5 or 6px is readable!
# export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="10 60"
# Example 2: Lighten all glyphs (below 100px)
# export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="100 150"
# Example 3: Do nothing
# export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="0 100"
# Default: [No gamma correction]
export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="0 100"
# INFINALITY_FT_BRIGHTNESS
# This filter adjusts brightness, using the standard algorithm
# for brightness. It is applied AFTER the LCD filtering.
# For a Windows XP look, set brightness to something and contrast to 50
# This will also tend to increase its sharpness.
# These values are relative and don't really mean anything
# however they are satisfactory for a range of appearances.
# Another tip is to use a gamma setting of "1000 110" or something
# over 100 to lighten things before processing.
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Dark XP Experience: -25
# Light XP Experience: 40
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_BRIGHTNESS="-20"
export INFINALITY_FT_BRIGHTNESS="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST
# This filter adjusts contrast, using the standard algorithm
# for contrast. It is applied AFTER the LCD filtering.
# For a Windows XP look, set brightness to -25 and contrast to 50
# This will also tend to increase its sharpness.
# These values are relative and don't really mean anything

# Another tip is to use a gamma setting of "1000 110" or something

# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Dark or Light XP Experience: 50
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST="50"
export INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH
# This filter adjusts subpixel-rendered glyphs toward grayscale.
# Sometimes this is useful in getting a rendering more like
# OSX.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no filtering
# 50 represents halfway between subpixel and grayscale
# 100 represents completely grayscale
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 30
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="33"
export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH
# This filter tries to remove the horizontal fringing that is found on
# default autohinted glyphs (similar to OSX-rendered glyphs).
# For example, an E may be rendered so that the middle horizontal
# stem is 100% black, but also has a horizonal row of pixels above
# it that is at 50% intensity. This makes the glyph look dirty,
# however it is technically accurate.
# This would be useful in cases where you have
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to something less than 100
# but also can affect glyphs at 100, to some degree.
# Unless fonts are showing fringes in a way that annoys you, I recommend
# keeping it disabled, as it can slightly interfere with smooth appearance
# sometimes.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no filtering
# 50 represents a 50% reduction of detected fringes
# 100 represents completely removing detected fringes
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 100
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="100"
export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH="0"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
# This post-filter darkens horizontal stems that autohint renders as semi-dark.
# Freetype will by default not force stems to render to pixel boundaries
# because it results in "vanishing stems". This happens on things like
# s S a and other glyphs with center diagonal stems.
# If you have INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT set to 100,
# you're telling it to force pixel boundaries, which can result in the
# vanishing stems. To get around this problem, I internally override the
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT setting if the stem width
# is less than a full pixel, regardless. This causes semi-dark stems, but
# at least there are stems there.
# This filter is intended to darken those semi-dark stems. I highly
# recommend using this, but setting to a low value like 10, because
# it is particularly sensitive right now, and can make thin fonts
# look weird otherwise.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no darkening
# 50 represents a 50% increase toward 1 pixel in height
# 100 represents a full pixel of height
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 10
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="10"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH
# This post-filter darkens vertical stems less than 1 pixel that autohint
# renders as semi-dark. This applies mostly to thin fonts like
# Courier New, Raleway, and fonts with the word "Light" in the title or
# style. Although what autohint is doing is technically correct, it
# results in a bad looking rendering because it's too light, at small
# ppems. This filter tries to correct that.
# There is an aspect of this that is automatic, so it's safer to use
# larger values for this than the above horizontal ENV_VAR. However
# setting this higher has more impact on thinner fonts. So, I still
# recommend lower values.
# Range: Integers 0 through 100
# 0 represents no darkening
# 50 represents a 50% increase (from current strength) toward 1 pixel
# 100 represents a full pixel of width
# Default if no ENV_VARS present: 0
# Recommended, if you want to use it: 25
# Example: export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="25"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH="25"
# INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_INCREASE_GLYPH_HEIGHTS
# This will slightly stretch some glyphs vertically between 9px
# and 14px (inclusive). Some people may find this more
# aesthetically pleasing. This only applies to fonts that are
# using autohint. I used to recommend this to be set true, but
# it does mess with some (less popular) glyphs in a nasty way.
# The goal here is to increase the height of some fonts by 1 px
# but leave the x-height where it is. Arial is a good example
# of this working properly. Compare the heights of Arial, Times
# and Freesans with this on, vs. TT hinted versions of Arial and
# Times.
# Possible values:
# true - enable height adjustment
# false - do not enable height adjustment
# Default: false

I tried every conf.d symlink in the /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail folder. I just can't get the fonts to be sharp with nice uniform smoothness. They look garbled.
I just tried the ubuntu freetype and it looks worse.

Poor font rendering

Hello,
an application, that loads a ttf font and uses
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
on all components that display text with this font worked well with jre 1.4 on WinXP.
Sometimes ago, I rebuilt it with jre 1.6 and due to customer complaints checked the rendering. I dramatically got worse compared to 1.4, where the rendering was fine (jre 1.6.0_03, Windows Vista). The quality of the text display is really poor. Is there a regression? And what's more: Is there a way to improve the rendering again. I already played with different renderigHints, but I could not notice any change.
Thank you,
Wolfgang

Is this problem reproducible with only this custom font?
E.g. system fonts like Tahoma look ok?
Copy your font to lib/fonts directory in the jre (or windows/fonts)
and run Font2DTest application from jfc/demo (part of every jdk).
Select your font and try different antialiasing modes - are they all looking bad?
Which one is similar to what you observe in your component?
Ideally, it will be nice if you can post minimal testcase to reproduce your problem
- e.g. draw line of text to BufferedImage and save it as png.
Post testcase and image. If possible - please post font file or provide link to it.

Poor fonts rendering in XSun

Hello all,
I am relatively new to Solaris, I spent the last 15 years using
Irix and Linux, so I am not sure what to expect, but the
rendering of the fonts on my new workstation is horrible.
I am using GNOME 2, but it is as bad with with CDE.
The machine is a Sun Blade 150 with a 21" monitor and
here is the output of m64config -propt
--- OpenWindows Configuration for /dev/fbs/m640 ---
OWconfig: machine
Video Mode: 1280x1024x75
Depth: 24
For Linux there is an HOW TO that suggests ways to improve
the rendering of the fonts. Is there something like this for IRIX.
Please help me before I go blind!

This sounds like an issue with your WM not being able to find the fonts it wants. I'm no expert here - actually fairly novice but :
- What WM environment are you trying to use ?
- Is the Font Server process running / enabled ?
I've had issues with Fluxbox on Solaris 9 that sounds real close to what you are describing and for me it was an issue with Fluxbox not knowing where the fonts where.

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.

Windows OpenType CFF Font Rendering

We have a situation where our identity font is displaying terribly in MS Word 2010 on Windows 7. The font looks great in InDesign and Illustrator. The font family is OpenType with PostScript outlines, aka CFF. This behavior is consistent for any OpenType font from Adobe, such as Myriad Pro or Adobe Garamond.
I am nearly certain that the Windows font rendering engine is optimized for TrueType outlines and renders PostScript outlines poorly. I also think that Adobe is using a different rendering engine for the Creative Suite applications, perhaps their own. I have not been able to find any specific documentation of these statements.
Does this ring true? Does anyone know of specific documentation of poor font rendering in Windows applications, especially MS Office?

Argg! I knew it would be something stupid. I spent a lot of time recently trying to get all the exceptions worked out in font embedding and it is all starting to run together.
Yes, I use flate by default, but I used AsciiHex so I could examine the data easily. Now I'm wondering when this crept in and how much time I wasted. Maybe I don't want to know.
This fixes the display issue in Acrobat/Reader, but Apple Preview still won't display the font (it substitutions but gives no error). Does anyone know if Apple Preview even supports FontFile3/OpenType?
Confusingly, Acrobat's Preflight -> PDF Analysis -> "Report PDF syntax issues" still reports the "An unexpected value is associated with the key" error.
In this case, would extracting the CFF table as is from the OTF be a valid CFF font that could be used, thereby using FontFile3/Type1C and make it compatible with Apple Preview? Just thinking out loud.
I've updated the file http://www.pagestream.org/fonttest4.pdf to reflect the proper encoding for anyone who might have an inkling to take a look.
Thank you Leonard for your help!

Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
Thanks,
-flash

Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
they can be the usual suspects.
Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
Good luck, let us know how you fare.

Font rendering is poor after a hard reset

After a crash, I had to power off my MBP. Since it rebooted the font rendering has been poor. I have posted an image here to show you the difference. It is slight, but the font rendering used to be much more crisp. Now they appear too soft and blurred around the edges.

Can anyone tell me what might have happened and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Looking at the image, it seems that your computer has changed its font smoothing setting.
You can alter this by going to System Preferences->Appearance and ticking the "Use LCD font smoothing when available" box.
It doesn't apply to running applications, so you need to quit and restart Safari to see the change.

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Some web fonts are not rendered

When I visit some sites that use web fonts, the web fonts are not rendered. It does not render with the wrong font - the text is completely invisible.
On other sites, web fonts work just fine, and I cannot understand why some web fonts work and some don't.
Examples of non-working sites:
http://blog.mailchimp.com/ (headers shown, article text missing)
https://www.sbab.se/ (huge top header missing)
http://onlinepizza.se/ (headers and button texts missing)
Examples of working sites:
http://www.google.com/fonts
http://www.typetester.org/
On the Network -> Fonts tab in the inspector, no downloads are shown on the broken sites. Is there a font cache that I can delete?
I have tried uninstalling firefox, deleting all profiles and installing it again. Nothing changes.

Works fine here on Linux.
Right-click > "Inspect Element" > Font shows:

*http://onlinepizza.se/Stockholm/ MuseoSans-700
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Font rendering is not always accurate, and bullets are sometimes just pinpoints. Is there a way to fix this?

for instance, in the website I created, www.menletter.org, the fonts are not the ones I created and the bullets are pinpoints. Seems to do fine in MS IE.

With all due respect, that isn't a real web page. It's a Word document with html tags, which is only going to be rendered completely in IE and other browsers that play loose with the standards. Right-click that page in Firefox and select View Page Source, everything in green is code that isn't valid and code that Firefox ignores. You need a better "tool" to create web pages that work correctly in all browsers that follow W3C standards.

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,

Satellite L500-126 - CD/DVD drive does not open very smoothly

Hi,
I just got my second Satelite L500-126.
I exchanged my first one for a new one because the ESC key got stuck sometimes and made a squeaking sound.
Now with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very smoothly and 2 little silver metal bars come out with the drive when I open it.
Is this normal?
Also, when I close the dvd drive i hear a little "ping!" sound.
Like a spring or something. Is this also normal?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Im not quite sure what you mean by 2 little silver metal bars but my notebooks drive contains two metals (runners, trackage).
This is normal and these parts are important to ensure that the drive could eject properly and could stay in right position.
You will always hear an short click opening and closing the drive.
So I assume this is ok.
