Appearance of text on webpage

text on webpages is thin/ shaky-looking/ hard to read. Not talking about font size here.
== after downloading Firefox onto my computer

You can enable ClearType, used by IE as default.
You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

Hey kristiac,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have no service on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't connect to a cellular network or cellular data - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

Jbutton in applet not appearing when embedded in webpage(jre1.6.0_02)

Hi,
I am accessing a webcam from an applet embedded in a webpage using JMF 2.1. I am using JButtons using Image Icons. When i view the applet using applet viewer both the player and buttons appear fine. However when the applet is embedded in a jsp page the image JButtons don't appear at all. I am using jre1.6.0_02.
Following is the code( The capture and cancel JButtons dont appear when viewed in webpage):

Buttons just appearing as text for certain clients until enabled with onClick and enabled

Would anyone know why buttons may disappear for some clients but not others.   I'm not finding a consistent pattern. When I sign in locally or through vpn they display and behave properly, but when I sign in externally via Chrome or IE 11
sometime the buttons only appear as text other disable buttons that are enabled on click. I have a laptop with ie11 Win8 and desktop with ie11 win7.   The laptop displays the buttons proper behavior and the desktop does not.
anyone have any ideas. Someone was working on the server recently and I'm wondering if any IIS setting may cause this problem. Thanks for help!
Buttons original state:
<td><asp:Buttonrunat="server"Text="Print"ID="btnPrint"CssClass="tablerowheader"Enabled="False"/>
<asp:Buttonrunat="server"Text="Submit"ID="btnSubmit"OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"
CssClass="tablerowheader"Enabled="False"/></td>
Buttons action:
<asp:checkbox runat="server" id="chkSignature" onclick="EnableSubmitButton(this)" text="I Agree" Font-Bold+"true" checked="False">

Solved.  The disabled status was being overwritten as null.

Mountain Lion - Window for ID and Pw appear without text!

After install Mountain Lion, (Leopard to Mountain Lion with succes!) the window for ID and Pw (that appear for all permission, to install a new program or other) appear without text! Button to say ok or return are without text so I can't see nothing! And I can't insert my ID or my password!
What appened?????
Sorry for my english..
Thanks, Sara

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Hi Guys!
I'm German, so my english writing might not be perfect
I had the same Issue on a 5 i bought. Exact same screen and writing. Battery was totally drawn, first thing I had to replace. The screen had been replaced and since then it wouldn't work anymore according to the previous owner.
It took me a couple hours, after recieving a few errors like 4013 it just never completed the restore, got really hot as well. The Flexwire of the Dock Connector seemed damaged, replaced the dock, but that didn't help.
I almost gave up, thought the Logic Board was bad.
BUT! Then i deceided to check if it has anything to do with the Screen assembly, and it did.
Long story short, on mine the front facing camera, and sensor assy were bad.
Anyhow, the phone works ''perfect'' when i leave them unplugged. So I just ordered a new one and we will see if thats the problem or if the damage is in the Logic Board.
If so, i can live without the sensor and front cam.
Just wanted to share, good luck everyone.

Appearance of text/fonts on OS X

What do people think about the appearance of text/fonts on systems running OS X? As a long-time windows user, I find it might take a little getting used to.

Believe it or not, I think the latest FreeType interpreter does better, at least when its hint interpreter is enabled. Letterforms are sharper and yet not blocky.
I should say that when I switched my Linux system from a VGA-driven CRT to a DVI-driven LCD, I had to throw out all my old font settings and start over to get a good subjective result.

Paste this into Terminal and hit return. If this attachment is text, it should work. Not sure about jpegs.

How do I get specific font to ALWAYS appear in text field whether user has font on computer or not?

I am designing a simple form to be used as template for OTHER people to type up room signs. We would like the signs to be in a specific font that is not generally loaded on the average computer, and we do not want to have to distribute fonts to a gazillion people. My thought was to create a LiveCycle from, whereby the room user could type their name and title in the text fields on the form, and in theory, it would appear in the font I chose for the text field. I have tried various things, but it always gets substituted by the user's computer.
Tried: Choosing "rich text" for field format in Object palette; choosing "Embed fonts" in "Save Options"; tried static form, tried dynamic form. It could be that my test user has such an old version of Reader that it just CANNOT work.
Thanks!

The restrictions are listed as "normal." And it does appear as embedded when I go to the document properties, though it didn't until I used it for the text on the form (as apposed to just using in the text fields.) And when another user opens the form, the text appears in the specified font, but once they type in the text field, it defaults to different font.
BTW, it is an Open Type Font, if that makes any difference.

Received emails from Verizon - Pictures do not show correctly and strange characters appear in text

When I receive emails from Verizon users, embedded images do not display inline. Each image(s) instead is displayed as a empty box with the red X boxed at the upper left. The images are correctly displayed at the very end of the email.
Additionally, dotted capital A's appears frequently within the text as well as other extraneous characters and symbols.
Do I have an incorrect setting in Live Mail (Outlook express displays the same) or is it something Verizon is doing? All of my other emails from different providers display properly.
Thanks in advance for any assistance which might be offered.

I have the same problem rec eiving from a friend who uses verizon. I use aol and even opened it in Internet Exporer and the same thing happened. This is a programing glitch with verizon email. I get the text in the email but the white squares with an x and no image. I have to downlod the images and open it as an attachment. The problem is you look at the image without the text which might be describing the image. Very inconvient. The person sending the emal has to enable the rich text option . I am still looking on how to do it on Verizon email but since I don't have it I am having trouble finding a solution.

Attachments appear as text

When I am sent an attachment that is a video or picture when I click on it "textedit" appears and all I receive is garbled text or "Movie cannot be opened". Why is this happening? The "Movie cannot be opened" has always appeared but since I installed Leopard I get the garbled text.

In most cases, the movie is labeled with a file extension, such as .wmv. The full file name would be: NewMovie.wmv.
If that's the type of file you're seeing, installing Flip4Mac may help: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx

Checkbox appears with text behind box in FORM

Hello,
i created a master detail page where i can also edit the master through a form (all on the same page). The check boxes in the reports are fine but in the form (to edit the master) the box appears with a text behind the box: Eigen Fust ? " id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />
So "Eigen Fust ?" is the label i set for the check box then the actual check box appears and after that the text i do not know where it is from (" id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />).
The "P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" is the NAME of the form item i have for the check box.
This is the LOV i set for the check box item:
Select NULL d, HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,IND_EIGEN_FUST,DECODE(IND_EIGEN_FUST,'Y','CHECKED','N','UNCHECKED')) r
From KOOPOVEREENKOMSTEN
Where id = :P19_ID
Please can someone tell me why the text is placed behind the checkbox ?
Regards Doenja

No it is not the label that is shown there.
The label is before the checkbox 'EIGEN FUST ?'.
In the string that is shown behind the box the ITEM NAME from the checkbox in the form is shown. So it says : " id="P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST" />
and there P19_IND_EIGEN_FUST is the ITEM FORM name from the check box.
I really do not unserstand where that string is coming from.
Has someone any other idea ?

Dotted Underline appears in text?

When I try to change the text color, a dotted line appears beneath my text and it renders when I export to a pdf. There are no settings activated for underline and I can't seem to be able to find anything online.?

It would have to be a Stroke setting of Type:Dotted, no? (Window--Stroke, F10), not an underline. Don't underlines always result in a non-dotted solid line underneath the text?
Or, I suppose it could be a Character Style (Shift F11) with the Strikethrough suboption of Type:Dotted and possibly an Offset as well (?).
I guess you'd have to select it first then check both the Character Styles and Paragraph Styles panels to see if any style gets chosen (turns blue) as you do the selecting.
Keep the Stroke (F10) panel open as well to see if anything "lights up" when you select the text with the dotted line.
Then check the Character Panel (Shift-F11) menu (top right of panel): Strikethrough Options to see if a dotted strikethrough has been set.
Or, it could be a Paragraph Style (F11) with either of the above embedded in it.

BBC News website appears in "text mode"

The BBC News website has just started appearing in a "text mode". Previously the items were separated and the font was "filled in". Now the articles are all run together and the font appears as an outline.

The problem seems to have cleared.
I used System Restore to go back to a point before I had installed a plug in to enable FF to look at a TV web site. No improvement. (See attachment).
because I had gone back a few days a couple of Win 7 updates had been rremoved. On closing down the pC they were re-installed. Restarting showed no improvement.
I then started to use IE to browse the web and looked at a couple of sites. Then I went back to FF and the BBC site is running perfectly.
