Annoying font bug in EM

Good morning,
I am pretty sure this isn't the right place to report bugs but, since I do not have a Metalink account, hopefully someone that is an Oracle paying customer will do what I cannot.
EM has a simple but very annoying bug: it does not use a fixed font to display the output logs (of a job for instance). This results in output like this: (which looks even worse as a post in the forum than it does in the EM window)
>
File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
1 OK 0 13301 88325 1458980
>
which gives the impression that there are 13301 corrupt blocks in the file examined (not the kind of thing a DBA wants to see). I doubt I have to point out how cumbersome reading this unformatted output is.
However, using a fixed font, the very same output would look like this:
File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
1 OK 0 13301 88325 1458980 which now shows that there are 13301 empty blocks (much better news than before). The problem, as we all know is, EM is using a proportional font when it should be using a fixed font such as Courier New.
This trivial little bug substantially subtracts from the usefulness of EM to review logs.
Thank you for reporting this to the powers that can make it right,
John.

Dear 440bx - 11gR2,
Unfortunately i have no idea about the problem that you have experienced. However;

That is forbidden. Please see the user rights assigments of the Oracle. Metalink is a paid area and can only be used for those who have already paid the price.
People here can only help you based on their previous experiences but they simply can not post, paste or share the articles of the Metalink.
Please bear in mind for next time but i have the feeling that you already know that issue, don't you? :)

Font bug in Preview PDFs due to ATSSERVER

Hello all,
For the past couple of months I have been having a very annoying problem where the text of pdf is garbled. I'll download a pdf file and when I open it some or most characters are replaced with empty spaces or symbols.
After a lot of searching a few weeks ago I found a post describing this exact problem, but to make this solution easier to find (and since this bug has not been fixed) I will post it again.
If you pdf files have missing or garbled text, open terminal and kill the ATSSERVER process with the following command line (substitute in your user name):
killall -u [YourUserName] ATSServer
After running this command, ATSServer will relaunch right away. If you close the afflicted pdf file and reopen it all the fonts will display properly. I don't know why it happens, and I wish I could find the previous thread on this to thank the person who originally suggested that terminal command.
Apple, this is a frustrating bug that needs attention.
Thank you!

Is there still interest in other details? My problem is that I may get the right font or another substituted generically; the documents always open OK in Adobe Acrobat 9, but in Preview (directly) or by Finder/spacebar I can get different appearances *each time* I open, in quick succession: parts of the document may have the correct, serif, font and others a generic substitution. I'm using documents I've written and compiled using TeXShop 2.26 / MacTex 2008
Within a minute's interval, opening the same document three times can give different results, mixing the right and the substituted font in the one document, or sometimes only the substituted font.
I'm not very familiar with the processes that should be running, but I was a bit surprised to find two instances of ATSServer at one time; perhaps this is normal spawn...?

PDF font bug in Preview

I've put Leopard on all 9 of my macs, and I love it.
On one of them (unfortunately the macbook pro that I use all the time), I'm having a nasty bug with PDFKit.
When I open a PDF file that I made in pdflatex in Preview, sometimes it looks fine, but sometimes the fonts are all wrong and sans-serif-y. In many occasions, I an switch back and forth between the good fonts and the bad fonts JUST BY SWITCHING AWAY FROM PREVIEW AND SWITCHING BACK.
bad:
http://www.screenshots.cc/view_image/9eeb21311/ThisLooksAwful.png
good:
http://www.screenshots.cc/view_image/c83d91304/ThisLooksGreat.png
Has anyone seen anything like this? The bad fonts propagate themselves all the way to a printed page.

Indeed, wiping out the caches is not a permanent solution.
I found a couple of threads in some tex newsgroups that discuss this problem. There doesn't seem to be a resolution. There was some discussion that Latex Equation Editor is no longer being developed, but LaTeXIt, a similar program shows a similar font corruption problem. Fonts are fine in Preview until using LaTeXIt (or Latex Equation Editor), when they get 'corrupted'. By that I mean that documents viewed in Preview often come up sans-serif, regardless of the original font, and often special characters, such as arrows above letters (indicating vectors) disappear. Keynote files that use those characters (from, for example, using LaTeXIt under Tiger) show corruption. Rebooting (and possibly simply logging out and back in) 'cures' the problem, ie, Preview and Keynote are once again happy. During all this, Acrobat is always happy.
This is kind of painful, since I give physics lectures using Keynote, and things like integral and summation signs and vectors and such are kind of nice to have around.
Someone has got to know what is going on!

Font bug with SMC (Management console)

I have got a bug with the font in Solaris Management Console, and only with it.
With Xorg, the font are corrected displayed, but with Xsun, there are horible.
I think there a problem with XSun, or with SMC, but I didn't know Xsun.
Thanks.

How can I fix Lion system font bugs?

I've recently updated to Snow Leopard to do an uptade to Lion. Already, once the Snow was installed the system font was altered to the one in the image at the botom. I thought installing Lion would do the trick and it would fix the bug, but it didn't. It's been impossible to find articles with the same topic.
I went to Genius and all the could tell me was to erase all my machine and start all over again. Yet, I want to get another input before.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Edit the source doucment, or install the exact font that you are missing.

Annoying font size in windows title

First time I installed Arch 7.2 I had small fonts in Gnome windows title, so I had to set Font size of windows titles to 12 (10 its the default).
After some upgrade, this was fixed, and I could set font size to 10.
Tonight I did another upgrade, and window title fonts became small again, so I had to configure font size at 12 again.
Any idea whats broken this? its not an important problem at all, but its kinda annoying...

The obvious thing to look at is what did you upgrade?

Interface Builder ( IB ) font bug?

I noticed in ib, if i choose arial and then bold face (for labels, titles etc) it displays the text properly and is the proper bold. but when i deploy the app the text is gone, what i find wierd is in ib if you choose fonts that are not on iphone the text itself looks like it is the default font (eg. it doesnt let you use none iphone fonts)
so is this a bug with arial bold only?
i also tried to choose regular arial and then on the interface builder top menu i choose font >> bold and it turns the text bold, and it still doesnt display when compiled..
It makes no sense to me to have ib to do interface stuff when something like simple font choosing is buggy and/or not properly supported.

Human interface guidelines mandating a certain degree of consistency in appearance make a lot of sense, as would the fact that you cannot use fonts which are not available on the target system.
Arial is a horrible ripoff of Helvetica anyway.

Safari - Large Font Bug?

Since upgrading to Mavericlks Ive had an anoying bug in safari.
I use a larger than normal font , but if you use the mouse swipe to go back to a previous page the font reverts to the default normal size.

Annoying messages bug when using mass storage to s...

As you all well know the c: drive on n97 is quite small. I have about +2000 messages on my phone and I use the 32gb mass storage to store all of my emails and sms's.
It works ok untill I connect my phone to pc using mass storage mode. The first thing it does is it says e: drive unavailable - using c: to store messages. Ok - that makes sense BUT the darn thing doesn't switch back to using e: drive when I unplug it from the computer. Instead I have to switch it back to e: manually (from sms settings and email settings). It's also impossible to move messages that I have received while using mass storage mode to the drive e:
I really hope that nokia does sth about this matter. It's the single most annoying bug that this phone has.

To answer a few questions here...
The way the mass memory is broadcast to the computer when connected in PC Suite mode is called "OBEX". It's a kind of file transfer protocol. When it's connected in "mass storage" mode it uses an industry standard usb-storage protocol exactly like pen drives, external hard drives, external CD/DVD drives etc.
The difference between the two is that in mass storage mode, the phone relinquishes control of the storage space and hands it over to the host computer. That way, the computer sees everything on that device and it also happens to be compatible with more or less every operating system under the sun. In PC Suite mode, the phone retains control of the storage space and decides what to let the computer "see". Directories that are crucial to the phone's operation, such as "private" and "system", are not shown to the computer. Added to that, the computer needs specific drivers to be able to use the OBEX protocol, and this excludes non-mainstream operating systems.
As for being able or unable to transfer messages from one area to the other, the reason is fairly simple. Messages are stored in their own directory inside the "private" directory. If, for example, there's no such directory set up on E: when you want to choose that drive for storing messages, the phone considers that it has never been used for this and therefore asks you if you want to copy your messages from C: to E: so that they're still available to you once you switch over. If, OTOH, there is already a trace of E: having been used for storing messages (ie. if the messaging directory inside E:\Private does exist) then the phone considers that you might not want to clobber what's already there and doesn't offer to replace them with what's on C:.

Annoying iTunes bug

I've come across an annoying bug with iTunes. This was introduced about 2 or 3 versions ago, and it still present in 7.5.
If you press F2 to edit the name of a song inline and press the 'Delete' key (not backspace), this deletes the character in front of the cursor and completes the edit (as if you pressed return). It should not complete the edit!
Has anyone else come across this problem? I'm using Windows XP. I'm not sure how to report this problem to Apple, but I'd like to see it fixed in a future version. It definitely worked about 3 or 4 versions ago.
Cheers,
Neil

My iTunes does as you say, I never noticed it before. The problem does not occur when you edit in get info.
There is a feedback form if you feel like telling Apple.

Podcasting URL font bug discovered...

Hello folks,
I have discovered a bug in GarageBand while video podcasting. When you create a chapter marker that uses a URL name & link - the final export to disk or send to iWeb messes up the URL font style, font size and font colour. When inspecting the final podcast in iWeb or Quicktime Pro the URL font is dark blue in colour and too small to see or click on.
What is the purpose of this podcast feature if the URL font can't be edited ?
The same holds true for still pictures from iPhoto as well if used in a podcast.
If anyone from the GarageBand development team could discuss this problem that would be much appreciated - time is of the essence, no pressure...

Thank you WarriorAnt for your shout out.
Since you've been around the GB forum for awhile maybe you have some constructive advice to share with my specific question. I hoped at least 2 people have tried the podcasting feature in GB 3.0 and perhaps have experienced the problems I outlined in my first post.
Drop me a line if you come up with a solution or two.

Arrrgggh! cfdocument font bug?

I'm using cfdocument to create a pdf of a very simple html
page that uses html entities (greek and math/scientific).
Slight edits to the html completely change which entities (if
any) actually show up in the PDF, at one time or another, virtually
every character has shown up, so I believe the server font supports
the characters.
There seems to be no method to the madness. I have a test
script running at CrystalTech (
http://67.199.32.119/testpdf.cfm)
that shows the html in a textarea, and creates a PDF if you submit
it. If you try it, and then remove the table rows that contain
entities that don't appear in the PDF and try again, you'll see a
whole different set of entities don't show up! Whaaaat?
Has anyone got an idea what's going on? I desperately need
these entities in the PDF.

I'm not sure if Times New Roman has all of the characters you
need. If you specify "Lucida Sans Unicode", your server creates the
correct PDF file.
When I used Time New Roman in the CSS, the PDF file had
Batang (a Korean font), Helvetica and TimesNewRomanPSMT. I'm not
sure if this is a bug in cfdocument or what, but you can try
creating a CSS class for your symbols if you do not want your whole
document displayed in Lucida.
Funny thing is that I have Lucida Sans Unicode installed in
my Fonts folder but IE 7 doesn't display 20 or so of your symbols.
Firefox is fine.

Unbelievably annoying iTunes bug STILL in iTunes 9 =(

The ONE thing I was looking forward to most in iTunes 9 was a bug fix to a very, very annoying issue that I've sent in time and time and time again...... and the bug is still there!
If you type in a search scope in the iTunes player, and use the mini player (previously by clicking the green + icon, now by selecting the Mini Player option under View - another problem I have with iTunes 9 but that's for a whole new topic), and then hit the forward (skip) button a few times... all of a sudden music from your entire library starts playing. The search field is cleared.
How hard would this be to fix??? Come on, a big, revolutionary break through iTunes update and this crippling bug from iTunes 7 is still there?
Yeesh.
Anyone from Apple care to comment? I need a fix for this yesterday.......

Anyone from Apple care to comment?
Sorry, but Apple engineers do not participate here.
If you type in a search scope in the iTunes player, and use the mini player (previously by clicking the green + icon, now by selecting the Mini Player option under View - another problem I have with iTunes 9 but that's for a whole new topic), and then hit the forward (skip) button a few times... all of a sudden music from your entire library starts playing. The search field is cleared.
I just tried it and the problem did not occur for me. I did a search for a particular artist which turned up a list of 56 tracks, started the list playing, switched to the miniplayer, then clicked the skip button repeatedly. The search never cleared and the main library never appeared. So it doesn't appear to be a bug that affects all installations, anyway.
Perhaps it's your library file that's at fault, not iTunes itself.
