Anyone seeing text rendering issue in Finder?

When scrolling through large list of files the text in Finder is getting jumbled. When selecting a different app - the text improves in finder - but the screen is still not painting entirely correct...

Apple are aware of this issue and I have been advised that it is being investigated. However if you go onto the AMD Radeon website it appears that the graphics card is not compatible with Mac. When trying to download any new drivers or purchase the same card every avenue you explore comes up with PC compatible.
I have requested a call back from apple support tomorrow and if anything materialises I will post the details,
I have paid £2500 for top range iMac and beginning to think this was a mistake!!

Text Rendering issue in Safari 4 for Windows

Note: I've failed to find a thread pertaining to this particular issue. If someone is aware of one, please excuse me and point this discussion in that direction.
I am experiencing a problem with a Windows instal of Safari 4 that seems not to manifest itself on any of my mac machines. On select sites text is rendered as a jumbled mess of overlapping characters. To simplify matters I have linked to a screenshot of the problem:

If anyone has any thoughts as to the cause of or solution to this problem I will be glad to hear from you.
Thank you,
Jason

HI,
Try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Fix for overlay text rendering issue

@Neil Enns - I have branched this into a new discussion from original thread: Re: Trouble with ipa size after changing assets
Having some issues with overlays that are set to "vector" for "Export format in PDF articles"
It seems as this setting doesn't really affect the output of the overlays? as a test we updated a few of our overlays to utilize this setting and after running them through DPS and loading up the resulting .ipa file the results remain pretty consistently pixelated.
As a note, we are using 2048x1536 source files, rendering a 1024x768 folio and viewing on a retina display. (all screencaps taken from retina displays)
This setup is described as providing an optimal balance between file size and image quality in the thread mentioned above.
Is there anything we could be doing that would prevent the "vector" setting from rendering properly?
Or is this perhaps just the best that type in an overlay will look with a 1024 folio on a retina screen?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Neil Enns - Adobe / Bob Levine
Thank you both for the advice. There is a bit of strangeness though when importing the article. We had a couple of test folios we were using and on one of the folios the import article process would default to "automatic" format. When we forced the article format to be "PDF" all of a sudden our overlays were coming out nice and crisp!
Huge thanks!!
I do have one final follow up about this though.
It seems that the "vector" format only applies to the second state of the overlay? For instance we have some buttons which have text objects in them inside our MSO. These buttons then trigger the second state of the object which now nicely appears as vector... but how come the buttons are still getting rasterized?
Is there any way to apply this same vector format to buttons? Or is this only an option for an MSO?
Just trying to understand how all this works!
Thanks again for all your help and advice.

Text Rendering Issue [SOLVED]

I reinstalled Arch a few days ago, and reinstalled Xorg, KDE, and most of the font packages available on the repos. However, text is rendering oddly. I cannot see any font decorations such as bold or italic. Here is a screenshot to give you an example:
How can I resolve this?

I have discovered that it's not a problem in all applications. OpenOffice works fine, as well as most KDE/Qt applications. It seems as if GNOME/GTK applications are the only ones affected.

I placed the above label in my application. It is not rendering the same text as it is typed here. Why?
Is there a straight way to render without using Text Layout framework?
I am using flex 3, flash player 10.

Font rendering issue in Windows 7 with Aero

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and using Firefox 19.0.2. Aero is enabled, but the ClearType font smoothing is turned off.
At completely random intervals, text is rendered like this in Firefox:
http://i49.tinypic.com/vgshv4.png
Sometimes it can be fixed as simply as hovering the mouse pointer over the affected parts. Sometimes I have to mark the text to get it rendered correctly, and sometimes it can be fixed by scrolling the page.
It can happen on any sites with any encoding, regardless of the font size and color, but I noticed it's extremely rarely happens with Japanese text. It never affects the whole page, only random parts of the on-screen text, and sometimes the interface text as well. Also worth mentioning that it never happens when Aero is turned off.
Is this a Firefox bug, or is something wrong with my system? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue, uninstalling windows update kb2670838 fixed it for me. See also:

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
rendering issue with bold fonts.
If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
Here are the text and link to the how to:
You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
instruction:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
You should restart system after applying setting.
Hope this helps someone
If not, then call apple support and complain....
maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
will fix this horrible bug

I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

Staff? Text rendering incompatibility Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6 Websafe fonts render issue

Text rendering incompatibility
Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
‘Browser Fill’ has ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
or when
Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
Comparison Web safe fonts render
Chrome = all good
Firefox = all good
Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
Any work around?
Thanks
Milton

Hi Zak
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
Below links and further explanation and screen shots
Thanks again
Milton
Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’ that has an ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
creates the issue for text on the whole page.
I can remedy these situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’ on.
Screen snap shots below
Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

Anyone seeing these issues with 7.5.102.0?

Since upgrading from 7.3 to 7.5.102.0 we are seeing the following issues and wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.
Wireless clients will show connected and associated to the WLC and have an IP address but are unable to ping out or connect to anything. If you do a show client detail I see the device has an IP address, but both the gateway and subnet mask are set to UNKNOWN. Until I kick the user off the network and force a reauthentication, it won't reconnect.
On our public WiFi network, Android phones won't get the redirect page on Google Chrome. If you use IE it works everytime.
Thank you.

This is a known bug in 7.5.102.0 release. CSCui87814 . It is fixed in upcoming 7.6.x release (expect in Dec 2013)
There is a workaround for this. You have to do the following configuration to get this working. It is required to reboot after this configuration
config network secureweb cipher-option rc4-preference enable
"Chrome 29 adds TLS 1.2 support, and WLC is selecting a crypto suite over TLS 1.0 that apparently is breaking client"
you can find the more detail in this post.

First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Any1 is still having text or other color rendering issues on Win7/Vista FF, Safari, Opera or Chrome?

People have seen many different issues with blank Flash content
or wrong text colors since 10.1 using Windows Vista or Win7 32bit or 64bit FP plugin = still same issue.
No1 knows why but Disabling AERO THEME is the medicine to fix it or just run Internet Explorer
when you encounter bad behaviour on Firefox, Opera or Chrome which use same FlashPlayer.
Would be good if people would reply here or email to me [email address deleted by host]
so I could post here for tracking and contact purposes.
Because without knowing what GPU - Graphic card people are using and if Disabling Aero Theme helps or not?
Remember without enough INFO these wierd rendering issues can't never be fixed up!
One site that isn't rendering fonts fine using ATI V3750 workstation graphic card with latest drivers >
http://www.hkadr.com/swf/broadcast_player122_stream.swf
This is proof that Flash fonts are rendered bad while on that site using AERO Theme > http://www.mediafire.com/?0tpsse0jt55tjvc

The easiest way to fix rendering issues is to disable Hardware Acceleration.
