Arial font rendering problem in AIR

Hi,
    I am new to flex. I have a problem in rendering arial font in Label in AIR application.
I have attached the screen shot.The letter W has been cutted.
Regards,
Jayagopal.

OK, I eventualy discover that Java uses its own font configuration, and look for the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/TTF. As I use Bohoomil bundle fonts, which does not install fonts in this directory, Java wasn't finding the right fonts.
Copying the DejaVu family in /usr/share/fonts/TTF solved the problem.

  • Arial font rendering problem in Label control AIR

    Hi,
        I have a label in my application which is rendered with font-family Arial. The letters are not getting viewed properly.Some letters are cutted especially "W". I have attached a screen shot of it. Is it a bug in Adob Air.You can notice that letter "W" is cutted. Is it possible to fix it or not.Please help me.
    Regards,

    One thing to add for clarification, the problem I described is the application display problem and NOT the screen capture problem.

  • Flex 4.5/FP10.2 web app: Font rendering problem

    Heya,
    Upped a web app from Flex 4.0/4.1 to Flex 4.5 & fonts started to render really badly (blurry & 'stronger').
    They are embedded as CFF, no errors or warnings gives. Also upgraded to Flash Player 10.2, which apparently has 'enhanched' font rendering.
    Haven't set applicationDPI on the s:Application tag, so DPI management should be disabled according to the docs.
    (See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l)
    It's straight up @font-face embeds in a CSS file, nothing odd or wrong there.
    Is the case that this is how it's supposed to look now? In that case, how do I revert back to sane rendering?
    Do I need to configure 4.5 somehow to get it to do fonts right?

    Also tested Franklin Gothic, same deal. Tested on Mac (10.2) & PC (10.2 & 10.3). Flex 4.5 for both platforms.
    fonts.css:
    @font-face
    src: url("fonts/arial.ttf");
    font-family: Arial;
    font-weight: normal;

  • Mac os x font rendering problems 1680x1050 LCD

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Mac Mini and love it except I cannot tune the font rendering using command line "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1" and using 0,1,2,3 to try out, restarting apps after each change.   It seems that "1" is the best setting for my ASUS  VW224U widescreen lcd display.   The fonts are blurry.   Is it that Mac OS X cannot work well with this 1680x1050 display resolution?  Anyone have good font display at this resolution?
    TIA

    I have the same problem.
    Changed my mac mini core 2 duo with snow leopard for a new mac mini core i5, radeon graphic card and, of course, Lion 10.6.1.
    I kept the same screen a dell U2410 connected on display port.
    The immediate result was absolutely awful.
    I had to change settings on my display :
    1 - the shaprness setting from 50 to 0 (on a scale from 0 to 100)
    2 - the color temperature, called preset mode, from Adobe RVB to standard
    Otherwise, the fonts were rendered  :
    1 - very harsh
    2 - with very visible subpixels to anti-alias
    But even with this new settings, the result is far from being good as it was just before...
    I have tried to change font smoothing parameters as you describe in your post but, if i see differences between 1 2 and 3, i found none optimal ... (and kept 2)
    I'm going mad !
    It could be better with a calibration of the screen (it seems everything is washed out...) but my colorimeter is not compatible with Lion  ...

  • Font rendering problem... (FLash BUG)

    Hi all, I have Flash instaled on two machines and both of them are having a problem when rendring flash text.
    All text on flash appears like the image bellow. And When I export to SWF the text stays the same.
    The font I'm using is Myriad Pro
    I'm running Flash on iMac i3 3.06 with 4Gb and 256 Graphics display so that can't be the problem.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks for the attention.

    Hi,
    i know this problem. It exists since the last os-x update.
    Until now there ist no solution - only two workarounds.
    a) reinstall osx and update only to an older version
    b) sometimes it helps me to close flash, restart flash and publish again.
    It seems only OTF Fonts make Problems. I know about problems with MyriadPro and DIN.
    There is also a problem creating PDF Files with the OS-X internal "Print as PDF" function.
    I hope there will be an update soon....

  • Diagnosing Arabic font rendering problem

    I have an application that is localized into Arabic. On three machines I have access to to test on (Windows Vista, OS X, and Fedora 9), when the locale is set to Arabic, the UI is rendered correctly - menus, buttons, etc. all have their text rendered in Arabic and look fine.
    The person that translated the text into Arabic, however, doesn't have the same results. He's running Linux (can't remember what flavor) and when he runs the application, the Arabic text all comes out as boxes. He says this is the case for any LookandFeel he tries (Metal that hideous GTK, Nimbus).
    Since I can verify that the application does look okay on some machines, I feel comfortable in thinking that it's an issue on his specific machine. My question is - how can we diagnose what the problem actually is?
    His machine's default locale is Arabic, and other (non-Java) applications render Arabic text fine.
    He's using Sun Java 1.6 (not sure what minor release though), not GNU Java.
    (Possibly?) relevant info:
    I noticed that several UI keys such as "Menu.font" and "Button.font" are using a Deja Vu font on my Vista system when rendering Arabic. He says his system does have Deja Vu fonts installed, but when he's getting his boxes displayed, it seems these properties are set to some other Bitstream Vera font.

    Sorry, I haven't a clue regarding a possible solution, but I thought I'd share this:

  • Java fonts rendering problem

    Hi all,
    I've used JEditorPane to render an html page.
    My problem is that the way to interpreter fonts seems different from Java to the operating system font, also if I have the same font installed (for example Arial TT unicode).
    For example, I have an html page that misure 100 pixel with Explorer or similar; if I render it in Java, GetPreferredSize return me a value like 130, also if I've installed the same font and I have fixed the style of the page with css.
    In this a bug?

    Have you used getInstalledFonts to see if the font is actually available to java?
    Not all fonts on the system can be used (especially under Unix/Linux). In which case Java would use a different font as a substitute.

  • Chinese font rendering problem

    Firstly.. I have installed ttf-arphic-uming, ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-fireflysung. Idon't really understand why most of characters have rendered except for that one. This happens very sporadically (but always the same ones).

    Any help is appreciated.

    It's subpixeling. Maybe you specified the setting for this font somewhere?

  • Not-latin font rendering is broken in Kf5 applications

    Hello.
    After upgrading of KDE4 applications to Kf5 ones, I have the font rendering problem in them.
    It's looks like that:
    As you can see, rendering of cyrillic fonts is broken. Absolutely wrong font family (should be Terminus) and font size.
    In KDE4 apps font rendering works correctly.
    Do someone have any suggestions how can I fix this?

    I can see picture without any problems. May be it is regional-specific problem of image hosting.

  • [SOLVED] Bad font rendering after last update (pango issue?)

    I am getting very strange font rendering problem. Look at the screen below. It only affects gtk windows (as you can see below HTML text is currently displayed, but url bar and context menu is not). I belive it appeared after upgrading pango package to 1.32, but downgrading it as instructed here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151886), didn't help. Does anybody know what can it be? Any hints where to look for the solution?

  • [SOLVED] Bad font rendering and overlapping since last update

    Hi all! Since the last updates I'm getting font rendering problems. I'm seeing something like this in lots of applications:
    See the "ce" in Facebook, those letters are kinda overlapped! This happens in Nautilus too, for example in the word "devel". I'm using the Ubuntu patches for font rendering, but actually I have problems even with the stock packages.
    I'm on a fresh install right now (I really needed to clean the old one, too much experimenting xD) and I keep having this problem.
    Can anyone help me?
    SOLVED I downgraded pango from 1.32.1-1 to 1.30.1-1 and everything went back to normality

  • Preview : problem with PDF and Arial font

    I receive PDF files from my telco; the PDF use the Arial font, which they embed in the PDF. Not an ideal choice, but I can't change this.
    Problem : when I display the file in Preview (OS X 10.5.6), large parts of the text do not appear. The file can correctly be displayed with Adobe Reader on the same Mac, on other machines (Windows PC with various PDF viewers) or in GMail. The issue really seems to be related to the "Preview" application.
    Any idea on what causes this? Are there limitations on the PDF files that Preview can display ?

    Not necessarily! Because there are many places fonts can reside in Leopard, multiple versions of the same named font may be present. This is especially true for fonts that may come with multiple software installs like Arial (commonly installed by Microsoft Office). The system may not always choose the most recent font. It is a simple matter to check in Font Book for conflicts.

    I think the spacing now is correct, while before it was wrong. The only "problem" is that you got used to a bad font rendering, and now that it has changed for better you feel like it's different and don't like it.
    Really, *most* of the problems that people find in Linux's fonts are just because they are used to the awful default fonts from Windows XP. Yes, people can even get used to those fonts and believe they're good!!! And when they see correct fonts in Linux they think they're bad...
    What I would do is remove the MS TTF fonts. They work bad in Windows and worse in Linux. You should use Bitstream Vera or DejaVu if you want good quality fonts (especially in web pages).
    But, then again, you might think that they look wrong just because you're not used to it... Oh, well...
    What does correct font / correct spacing mean ?
    IMO, that doesn't make any sense, because that's a totally subjective matter, like many other things in this world.
    BTW, I love how fonts look in Windows, and I think that must be the only thing MS got right. Thus, I'm using ms fonts in linux, and a rendering as close as possible (no autohinting or antialiasing or subpixel rendering).
    Similarly, I could find a woman beautiful that you would find ugly or just average. We are all different, and it's better that way

  • Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) - Handling of widget generated CSS, placement and rendering problems in CSS

    Hello:
    I wanted to repost my question to re-frame the issue based on what I have learned thus far.
    I am working on a website that has been developed using the Spry Menu Bar Framework UI (2.0) I.0, that has some peculiar rendering problems that affect IE 6 in particular.  The CSS is reprinted below.
    In particular, when I post the widget generated CSS in the head as it is orginally situated by the framework, the menu bar works fine.  However, it seemed to me that I should be able to reduce page weight (an important consideration considering my target population) by placing it in the general style sheet governing the entire site.
    When I place the styles at the beginning of the style sheet the menu doesn't render at all in any of the browsers (IE 6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, etc.) as it conflicts with the general rules governing links that appear later in the style sheet.  When I place the styles specific to the Menu bar at the end of the style sheet, then the menu bar renders properly in all browsers except IE 6.
    The odd thing is that the only way to ensure that the menu bar works in IE 6 is to keep the menu related styles in the head of each page.  This raises problems related to page weight (not an insurmountable consideration if no other solution can be found) but still an issue.  Likewise I need to support IE 6, again given the target audience/population.  The issue obviously has something to do with specificity, but I am not certain that is the only consideration at work here.  I have not tried the !important selector in regard to the menu, as IE 6 seems to only partially support this.
    Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that can be provided.  Thanks in particular to Martin for his contributions to my earlier question related to this issue.
    Steve Webster.
    The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows:  (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
    <style type="text/css">
    /*  -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles --  */
    /* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
    /* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
       these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
         These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
       .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
        .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
       You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
        They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
            MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
            MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
            MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned. 
            MenuBarFixedCentered -  - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                            and centered in its parent container.
            MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
        In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
       with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
        there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
    #MenuBar  {
        background-color:transparent;

    /* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
    * Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element forselection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu"(MenuItemWithSubMenu),
    * giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
    * Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
    * all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. To get around this
    * problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
    * Since there are a lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
    * syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
    * it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
    * So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule.  We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
    * mistakenly override, making sure the  misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
    * We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
    * the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
    * css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
    * If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these,as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.jsscript.
    * The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.

    Hi Nancy:
    The specific code that I am referring to is the CSS code governing the styling of the spry menu widget that only works in IE 6 if, and only if, it remains in the head of the web page.  If removed and placed in a stylesheet, the IE plugins fail to compensate for the IE 6 "gap" bug.  As I said, it doesn't make sense to me that, assuming specificity is addressed, that these can not be included in an external style sheet.  I am looking for a) an explanation why they must remain embedded in the web page; and 2) any means by which I might be able to export them.
    I will reproduce the specific css style (code) below:  it should also be visable through reveal source --
    Thanks again, Steve Webster.
    The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows:  (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
    <style type="text/css">
    /*  -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles --  */
    /* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
    /* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
       these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
         These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
       .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
        .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
       You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
        They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
            MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
            MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
            MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned. 
            MenuBarFixedCentered -  - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                            and centered in its parent container.
            MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
        In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
       with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
        there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

    /* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
    * Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element forselection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu"(MenuItemWithSubMenu),
    * giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
    * Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
    * all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. To get around this
    * problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
    * Since there are a lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
    * syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
    * it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
    * So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule.  We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
    * mistakenly override, making sure the  misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
    * We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
    * the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
    * css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
    * If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these,as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.jsscript.
    * The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.

  • ARIAL FONT IN REPORTS(WINDOWS), NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY UNDER LINUX

    Our Reports are developed under Windows (Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33 and Windows 2000/Windows XP) and generated under Linux (IAS 10.1.2.0.2 with Red Hat Advanced Server). The Report Output is a PDF, that will be downloaded by the user with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. This works fine, but fonts are not shown correctly in the PDF, especially ARIAL, which is the font we use.
    I have run the Fontsolution Configuration Script from Metalink, but we still have a problem.
    When you look at the font.pdf, wich is the testreport from fontsolutions, some sizes and styles of Arial are printed correctly others not.
    Arial 8 is ok, but Arial 10 and Arial 12 are something like Times New Roman.
    Arial 12 Bolded is correct, but Arial 12 italic and Arial 12 bold italic are also not
    the Arial Font.
    How can we correct this problem?
    Regards
    Udo
    These are the files changed by Fontsolution Configuration Script:

    # DESCRIPTION:
    # Each line is of the form:
    # <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet> = \
    # <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet>
    # The <Face> must be the name (string/identifier) of a font face. The
    # <Style>, <Weight>, <Width>, and <CharSet> may either be a numeric
    # value or a predefined identifier/string. For example, both US7ASCII
    # and 1 are valid <CharSet> values, and refer to the same character set.
    # The <Size> dimension must be an explicit size, in points.
    # The following is a list of recognized names and their numeric
    # equivalents:
    # Styles Numeric value
    # Plain 0
    # Italic 1
    # Oblique 2
    # Underline 4
    # Outline 8
    # Shadow 16
    # Inverted 32
    # Overstrike 64
    # Blink 128
    # Weights Numeric value
    # Ultralight 1
    # Extralight 2
    # Light 3
    # Demilight 4
    # Medium 5
    # Demibold 6
    # Bold 7
    # Extrabold 8
    # Ultrabold 9
    # Widths Numeric value
    # Ultradense 1
    # Extradense 2
    # Dense 3
    # Semidense 4
    # Normal 5
    # Semiexpand 6
    # Expand 7
    # Extraexpand 8
    # Ultraexpand 9
    # Styles may be combined; you can use plus ("+") to delimit parts of a
    # style. For example,
    # Arial..Italic+Overstrike = Helvetica.12.Italic.Bold
    # are equivalent, and either one will map any Arial that has both Italic
    # and Overstrike styles to a 12-point, bold, italic Helvetica font.
    # All strings are case-insensitive in mapping. Font faces are likely to
    # be case-sensitive on lookup, depending on the platform and surface, so
    # care should be taken with names used on the right-hand side; but they
    # will be mapped case-insensitively.
    # See your platform documentation for a list of all supported character
    # sets, and available fonts.
    # BUGS:
    # o Should accept a RHS ratio (e.g., "Helv = Arial.2/3").

    # The format for entries in this file is:
    # <OSName>:<Type>:<Version>:<Long Name>:<Description File>:
    # The first field is the name of the printer. It is the name you give
    # to lpq.
    # The second field is the type of driver to be used for the printer.
    # Currently, "PostScript" and "ASCII" are the only types of driver for
    # printers supported for now. But in future we may be supporting
    # drivers for other printer types.
    # The third field is the version of the type of printer driver. It's 1
    # or 2 for all PostScript printers; or 1 for ASCII printers.
    # The fourth field is a long description of the printer. This will be
    # presented to the user in the "Choose Printer" dialog window.
    # The fifth field is the printer description file to be used. For
    # PostScript printers it is the PPD file of the printer. (This field is
    # currently unused for ASCII printers.)
    # You can use default.ppd for the description file if you don't have a
    # PPD file for the printer, but it's best to use the correct PPD file
    # for the printer.
    # You must fill in at least the first two fields (printer name and
    # type). If the version is empty, it defaults to "1"; if the long name
    # or description are empty, they will default to empty strings. A
    # version of 1 or an empty long name is fine, but, for PostScript
    # printers, you must fill in the description file name.
    # You don't have to update this file to use any printer. The printer
    # chooser interface let's you select a printer and driver at run time,
    # as well as associate a printer description file to the printer. You
    # should list all printers accessible to users here, however, to
    # simplify selecting a printer.
    # The first entry in this file will be used as the default printer, if
    # no printer was selected in the operating system. (For Unix, the
    # following environment variables will be used in turn to get the
    # default printer's name:
    # TK2_PRINTER
    # ORACLE_PRINTER
    # PRINTER
    # For other platforms, see the Installation and User's Guide for your OS
    # for information on setting the default printer.)
    # WARNING: Do not define multiple entries for the same printer by the
    # same name. Selecting a printer with multiple entries will always result
    # in the first entry being selected. Instead, see if your OS allows you
    # to create an alias for the printer, and use an alias for the second type.
    # The following are examples; replace them with printers accessible from
    # this machine.

    If you want to make platform independent use of fonts, you have to use the family, such as sans serif.
    Arial is owned by monotype (http://monotype.com/). You have to contact them if you wish to redistribute it with your application. They also might have a suitable version that renders nicely under linux.
