A question regarding using Myriad Pro as a web font...

Okay so this is a pretty straight forward question (I think)...
I've been using sIFR to replace many of the typical web fonts on the sites I build since much like everyone else I'm sick of being restricted to using only certain fonts.
Myriad Pro is one of the many fonts I really like for building websites. I discovered recently by accident that Myriad Pro (and a few other variants in the Myriad Pro family) are part of Adobe Reader. This means that ANYONE who downloads Adobe Reader has Myriad Pro installed on their system and probably doesn't even realize it.
Having discovered this it has come to my attention that there is a decent possibility I could use CSS and have Myriad Pro as a web font without even having to render it using sIFR. The problem is that anyone who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed wouldn't see the nice Myriad font.
So my question is what do all of you guys think about this? Does anyone have any actual numbers in regards to how many people actually have Adobe Reader? If it was a higher percentage like 90% then I think this would be a safe solution.

I don't know how many people use Adobe Reader, although I would think it's a fairly high proportion. Perhaps not as high as 90%, though. However, there's nothing stopping you from using Myriad Pro as the first choice in a font-family declaration. Browsers use the first available font. You could use something like this:
body {
  font-family:"Myriad Pro", "Gill Sans", "Lucida Sans", Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;

  • Will using Myriad Pro help keep filled files small?

    I am a newbie as far as LiveCycle goes and have a problem with a form I created growing to 10 times the intial size because I used our company standard font Century Gothic throughout the document. If I change all the fields to Myriad Pro (the default), will I run into the same problem? I have some users with Acrobat Pro X, but more who would just be using the latest version of Reader to fill and save their forms. Any/all guidance welcomed.

    Fonts should have nothing to do with file size.  But, try it and tell us if it still happens w/Myriad Pro.

  • A question regarding using a JDBC class to connect with cloud service database

    Hello,
    I am currently working on a small scale cloud service report where the company I chose is obviously Oracle. My question is regarding the cloud service in the following way. I was doing my report with the free trial until it just came to me that
    why not to do a small one class program with my netBeans or Eclipse that uses JDBC but I am not sure what username, password and the url to use in the connection to retrieve, manipulate and store values. Can somebody help me please if this is possible or not?
    edit: Anyone please? I have a deadline in 15.8. and could create something great until then if I get the anwser in few days

    To correct my question, I already have the oracle account and I created the cloud service trial account with database and java section.

  • Questions regarding using the .monitor command to retur a animated image and we would like feedback to a designed webpage that is monitoring a 5kW windturbine:)

    I'm embedding a front panel image in an existing HTML dokument. I would like to use the command .monitor in the URL together with the refresh command so the VI automatic will reload every 20 secund. This actual work, but simultaneous I want to have the possibility to refresh manually so I don't have to wait 20 sec before new values is shown in the display. Is this possible to do?
    Another question: Since the real time display updates 1-2 times a secund the command .monitor is used to get a animated picture of the Real Time Display.
    There are several ways to add animation on to web pages. The techniques used h
    ere are the �server push� and �client pull�which makes the browser repeatedly reloads a changing inline image to provide crude animated sequences. This is not the most efficient way as this result�s in an image being re-transmitted for each frame of the animation. The command .monitor with the attribute refresh and lifespan in the URL trigger this �server push� and �client pull� techniques.
    I use this automatic refresh uploading of the display so that it each time shows different values, is this called crude animation?Then I'm wondering what I'm suppose to use the command lifespan to?I can't see the use of it in my display.....?
    link to the webpage so you can have a look at the display:
    http://134.7.139.176/.monitor?Real%20Time%20Performance.vi&refresh=20
    This is a project that I'm working together with another Norwegian friend. WE are very happy for feedback on our web page and displays go to: http://www.ece.curtin.edu.au/~peersena/ if you would like to view itThanks

    Annis,
    One of the other things to keep in mind is that the generation of an image does take some computing power so having the generation and the acquistion on the same machine is not always ideal. If you're using the machine that is publishing the front panel just to collect data it's not so much of an issue.
    If you really want to monitor in "Real-Time" using Remote Panels (requies LabVIEW 6.1) is your best option. This posting has more information on using Remote Panels and links to some live examples:
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000C0660000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_0=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=web+control&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
    Remote panels makes it possible to control the application remotely as well.
    With .monitor the only way I've been able to manually refresh is to "Shift+Refresh" on the browser.

  • A question regarding a macbook pro i just bought

    Hey, i have an imac 27'' that i use as my desktop computer (mainly for logic studio only), but i just bought a laptop so that i can produce music on the go, i purchased it second hand as my budget wasnt the biggest (15inch 2009 - i know its quite old but i properly checked it out before i bought it!)
    The problem i have is my imac is on lion but this macbook pro is on mountain lion, due to a lot of the software i have not having updates for mountain lion yet i want to downgrade my macbook pro to lion only, i have done a lot of research and it seems i should do the follow (please correct me if i am wrong)
    What i am doing now :
    Backing up via time machine to a third party USB external hard drive
    Then i plan to restore the macbook to its original settings - however - does anybody know the best way to do this so that it will take mountain lion off? When i try to install lion at the moment i get the error message that it cannot be completed because a newer version is installed?
    I then plan to re load my time machine back up on to the mac book pro as the guy left some cool software on it for me (microsoft office, final cut etc.) - however i am wondering if this would interfere with my lion install and would it replace it with mountain lion?
    Any advice would be greatly apprecaited! I know i have gone around the blocks with the question but my main thing is i want to take mountain lion off this computer, put lion on but not lose this software that the guy has left on for me
    Thank you very much
    Lockerz

    Yeah he did. I have 2 disks, one says 15 inch macbook pro applications install DVD and the other says 15 inch macbook pro Mac OSX Install DVD however i put the osx install dvd in first and it just sat in the cd drive made a few noises as if it was turning around and ejected after a minute or 2
    however i know the cd drive is working because i tested it out with cd/ dvd when i went to the guys house
    do you have any clues on this maybe it can save me some time?
    Thanks again

  • Question regarding using links in Discoverer 10g

    Hi All,
    I have a workbook which uses links. The 1st worksheet is connected to the second worksheet using a simple parameter and link. It works fine.
    But when a users saves this report and tries to use the link, Discoverer tries to open the work sheet from the query which I had created and not the one from the worksheet which the user has saved.
    I am not sure if that the regular feature of the Link functionality or if there is a bug/workaround.
    Is it possible to set these reports to open the worksheet from the saved workbook instead of the original one.
    Any help is appreciated. Please let me know if I have confused you.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I've had a look at this on Metalink and there seems to be lots of different bugs with manage links on 10g.
    We build our reports under one user and share it with all other users, easier to manage. We've built some reports exactly has you have and it also works fine. I'll try to resave this as another user and see if we have the same problem.
    For info there are links to several different bugs related to lots of scenarios Here (You'll need metalink access).
    Couldn't find your exact problem in there so you want to raise it with Oracle.

    Kiran,
    Firstly , before anything else, I would suggest to change your handle to anything else and remove the email id from it. Its not good to have the id displayed in any public forum.
    About the question, unfortunately, its not that easy to answer. To understand explain plan and how to use it, you need to understand that algorithm/mechanism, whatever you feel like saying, that generates it. Because, explain plan is just the outcome of that mechanism, a final product, its the result of some inputs given by you in the form of your query, predicates, joins and their types and that all bring up the explain plan. Explain plan is basically the constitution of some steps which are used /fixed by optimizer to run the query. I would suggest that you read this page from cover to cover to understand some of the steps and their meanings which are shown to you in the plan. I am giving 10g link as this is a more better version of optimizer than the previous ones and I would suggest you to do experiments on 10g only.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/optimops.htm#i21299
    And I would suggest that you collect these following books and start reading them. I haven't yet found any thing better than these books.
    [Cost Based Oracle Fundamentals (Jonathan Lewis)|http://www.amazon.com/Cost-Based-Oracle-Fundamentals-Experts-Voice/dp/1590596366]

    It would be real long journey before the mazes of optimizer and explain would be clear so make sure you have patience as well.

  • Some questions regarding x-fi pro 5.1

    Hi guys, i have some questions that i cant seem to find answers to that i hope someone can help me with.
    I recently bought an X-FI Pro 5.1 USB sound blaster.
    I have it plugged into my computer, and i have an optical cable from its spdif output connected to my wireless surround headphones (sony ds6500). These headphones can accept up to 7.1 signals in dolby digital and DTS and they "emulate" a surround through its 2 speaker elements.
    As a reference i can add that i have tried these plugged directly into my PS3 system and the 5.1 DD signal i get is really good! You can clearly hear what is behind and what is in front of you!
    I have installed the latest drivers and all available software from creatives website.
    1:
    And when reading about this card i often see people refering to the diffrent modes available (entertainment, game and cinema). But nowhere in any software can i find any option to change my mode, which seems to be stuck in entertainment. Whats up with this?
    2. I am getting a DD signal to the headphones, they indicate this so the system has the basics properly set up.
    But the biggest gripe i cant figure out is why it send the same audio from the FRONT and REAR.
    That is, i can hear no diffrence between the signal that is suppose to be the front speaker and the one that is suppose to be the rear speaker. What am i missing?
    3. I have about .5 sec delay of the audio when playing a game for instance, can this be solved?
    Please ask if you need any more info to help me solve this.
    Thanks in advance

    Okay, btw. you mixed point 1 with 2 i'll stay at original numbering
    1. [2.]) Well, i must confess the manual from creative isn't working correct (while the ones for other creative card work, just checked), it just shows the menue but the browsing page shows an error (if the one that is packed with your software is working and you could upload it that would help a lot). So i just searched for modes and found one so i thought it would have them. But now i took a deeper look and there is just the Entertainment Mode in Creative Software Suite. Also the Quick Start Guide shows there is not much software available, so i guess this card simply doesn't have it.
    2. [1.]) That should work either you can try 2/2.1 or Headphone (in X-FI Console and Windows Audio Console) as the Headphone is Stereo only with kind of virtual Surround like CMSS does. Btw. on your first post you wrote: kind of nice DD you hear. Thats wrong AFAIK. You hear Sonys Virtual Technology or maybe (as other Surround Headsets feature that) Dolby Headphone. Anyway it might be some of the creative options mix up with Sony way of surround sound. So did you try enable/deable CMSS (3D/Headphone/Virtual etc)? Else it just can be the configuration of speakers in Windows: Please note that the channel settings in Windows® Vista/7 can be set in Windows Audio Console, not in the X-Fi Audio Console. (Right click the speaker icon at the system tray, Select playback device, “Speakers”, Speaker Configures)
    3. Concerning the Delay: Under 'Creative audio control panel,' be certain that 'high speed' (2.0) is checked, and not 'full speed' (1.1) . Else you might need to switch back to Vista or XP drivers that obveausly helped some people to solve the delay problem. Or you try newest PAX drivers eg. wait on Danial_K's new X-Fi Pack (what i believe will be best bet as you also get new functions). I know creative drivers are a bunch of ****** and if you compare to AuzenTech oder ASUS f.e. the hardware isn't better too. Never going to buy creative again.

  • A question regarding using a Dreamweaver site to manage a WordPress site?

    Using Mac OS X I have installed and configured MAMP to edit a WordPress site.
    I have setup a DW CC site to help with this editing, and all files are behaving as expected.
    I would now like to take this to the next level.
    As I develop the site plan for the future, I am unsure of the local folder structure I need to use if I want to use the capability of the SQL database to manage logins and landing pages.
    In other words, do I put the root folders for other html sites in the same root directory level as the WordPress folder?
    Can I then (with some individual tweaking of php files and the database(s), use this organization method to author a number of standalone sites with unique logins?
    I hope this question is not too vague.
    Thanks

    Sounds to me you want to use the multi-site option in Wordpress. That way you can setup a network of (related or unrelated) sites in Wordpress, and assign different logins, themes, and so on, to each site as well.
    Study the official documentation before you begin:
    Create A Network « WordPress Codex
    In this case you should stay away from any manual mysql tinkering - no need for that with multisites in Wordpress. Of course, you can still use DW to edit the theme files, if you so wish.
    For more multisite user control, check out plugins like:
    http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/7-plugins-for-easier-wordpress-multisite-user-management/
    If you need ultimate control over user management, payment options, and so on, you may want to install S2 User Management (but it is a complex one to learn).

  • Question regarding using Lightroom Web Module and Zenfolio

    I use LR3 and like the galleries I can make in the Web Module.  If I use Zenfolio as a web hosting service, can I upload or export my photos from LR to Zenfolio and use the galleries I create in the Lightroom Web Module,,,or do I need to use the existing gallery templates in Zenfolio?  If that is the case, other than using Lightroom to upload photos, is it's Web Gallery Module superflous?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Matthew,
    If you are asking if you need to use LR's Web Module to export images to Zenfolio, then no you would not use the LR Web Module but rather use a plug-in to export directly to Zenfolio.  Or you can just export to your local HDD and use Zenfolio's upload module to grab the files from your local drive.
    Jeffery Friedl has a nice LR plug-in for SmugMug so I am sure his Zenfolio plug-in will work nicely as well:
    http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/zenfolio
    It's free, sort of, after the trial period, like 45-days as I recall, there is a limit on the number of files which can be uploaded.  When the trial expires if ya like it you just donate any amount and get to upload any number of files as Zenfolio allows in a session.
    Does that help answer your question?

  • I have several questions regarding Final Cut Pro X

    I went to the APP Store to check out FCPX and accidentally downloaded it (v. 10.0.3)
    I didn't freak out too badly as I had planned to buy it eventually, but One Click?
    Anyhow, the deed is done.
    Since the application was downloaded, how do I make a backup copy? I mean, I could
    burn the application to a DVD, but usually an Installer puts files in different folders in
    various locations, and I would have no way of knowing where they all are. What have
    the rest of you done?
    The first thing I ran into upon opening FCPX was a message saying "The selected SAN location
    is already in use." At this point I didn't even know what a SAN location was. It somehow decided
    it wanted to use my 3TB Seagate drive I'm using as a TimeMachine Backup drive. I think I managed
    to delete the SAN location.
    But it is putting Final Cut Events on a drive I don't want to use for that, and the drive I have designated
    for video does not appear within FCPX as a choice. I rebooted and it showed up for an instant and then
    disappeared.
    I had FCP many years ago and you used to specify locations for saving files. As I said, I have a drive
    reserved for Video and it doesn't show up within FCPX.
    I have old versions of Motion and LiveType that came with FCP before. Do they work with this version?
    So far I'm struggling with this. I have AppleCare. Do they support this application?
    Help please.
    james

    Tom, thanks for your Answer!
    I'll just burn the FCPX app to a DVD and hope that's all the files it needs.
    As for my drive, it is formatted just the same as all my other externals.
    I've got a bunch of them dedicated to different types of material (photo, music, audio samples, video, etc.)
    The fact that that drive shows up in FCPX and then disappears is troubling.
    I don't know enough yet to know whether something is wrong or it's user error.

  • Question regarding use of Log and LogFactory in Servlets

    Hi,
    I saw the following code in an application and I would like to know where the log information would be stored. It appears that the log information is not displayed on the screen and was not able to find out where the log files are. The application was created using NetBeans and was using Tomcat. Thanks in advance.
    import org.apache.common.logging.*;
    public class Test extends HttpServlet
    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Test.class);
    String theHost;
    String theSource;
    public void init (ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
    super.init(config);
    log.info(�debug Enabled: �+log.isDebugEnabled());
    ServletContext context =config.getServletContext();
    this.thisHost=�/Test/�+config.getServletName();
    etc. etc.
    log.info(�thisHost:�+this.thisHost);
    log.debug(�Source:� +theSource());
    etc, etc.
    }

    It depends on what logging system you have set up.
    Commons.logging is an abstraction layer above logging components. It allows your code to use a variety of logging systems. However those logging systems have to be set up and configured by you. This can be via system properties, properties files, XML config files (depends on the logging system and how you use it).
    So you need to figure out which logging system is being used and then configue that system to write the logs

  • Single Edition App question regarding using the activation number

    Hello,
    I am producing a single edition app for a client. We have purchased a single edition package and I have the serial number. I have created the app and done all the certificates and provisioning stuff...
    My question is now that it is built and I would like to download a version for testing purposes it is asking me for the serial number to activate it.
    After I enter the serial number will I be able to go back and make changes to it as needed before I publish? Or how does this work? I just want to make sure I dont activate this and am then stuck with the results if changes need to be made. I'm sure the answer is fairly obvious but just wanted to check with people who have had past experiences. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you should be able to make changes, but I can’t let this pass without reminding you that you could have gotten unlimited apps for year and every Creative Cloud application and service for less than you paid for that one app.

  • A Question regarding use of Interfaces.

    I have read about interfaces,but I havent got the real grasp or point
    of it.
    1). How is an interface an improvement over classes?
    If I define a class which has several important methods in it,and this class is extended by several other classes,and all these sub classes then call the super class's methods.
    How does an interface be more beneficial?
    2) What is the exact use of creating class intances thru interface references?
    Java talks about multiple inheritance using interfaces.
    If an interface does not have any constructive methods,but just
    empty methods,how does this become more constructive?
    Eventually a class will implement the this interface to give it some
    value? So why dont I write a class straight away rather than creating an interface,implement it and then code the required methods defined.
    I tend to avoid using interfaces becos I find them of no value.
    Rather I wud prefer to define class with some constructive methods
    and extend this class.
    Am I right in my analysis?

    Interface is also a "contract" that the class implementing a particular interface will provide certain functionality to the users of the class. For E.g Serializable interface in Java. All the classes that implement this interface indicate that the objects of these classes are serializable. Similar thing with Cloneable interface, all objects of classes that implement this interface are Cloneable....
    Hope thinking in these terms will help your understanding. Just look at Java interfaces to understand instead of some custom code.
