Choosing Font for TextArea

I have a TextArea that I use append(�string�) to write to. How do I choose and use a Font like �Courier New� that is equally spaced from one character to the next?

I do not ask before I look, contrary to your expectations. What I needed from the very beginning was the word "monospaced". I didn't see it in the documentation of class Font. Maybe others have different documentation. Haven't tried your information yet though, but it looks like what I wanted. You are very helpful, and thank you very much.

Suitable Fonts for new website

I have never developed a website, but now that I have iWeb '08 I am going to try. I have heard that there are only certain fonts that you should use (which is disappointing because I have a great font library) and I am an artist and would like at least my logo to look like it actually does. What are the guidelines for choosing fonts for a website? I know this is a dumb question, but I am a total beginner.

In general you should try to use web safe fonts.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/FontsandColors.html
You can use other fonts by converting them to an image but you should do this sparingly as it will increase your page download time. The iWeb help file will show you how to do this.

Cannot change font for UTF-8 pages in FF 4.0.1

No matter whether I change Options > Content > Default font, or go to Options > Content > Advanced and set Sans Serif for Other Languages, nothing changes—for instance, on this forum. Everything's still Times New Roman from the looks of it.
The Sans Serif font for Other Languages is set to Arial.
There's no Unicode entry in the list. The Other Languages is the closest I could find.
I have Options > Content > Advanced > Allow pages to choose their own fonts… unchecked.
I made similar changes for Western, and that worked—for pages detected as having ISO-8859-1 encoding.
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
<rant>
On a more general note, I think that the font setup in Firefox is so over-complicated. I personally want all my pages in a single font, and I don't care if some weird languages are displayed incorrectly with it. I bet that most people do want the same, even them who speak those weird languages. It's just a matter of picking one font that works for the languages you care about.
Now that might not work perfectly for everybody so there should be an advanced option—an ability to add overrides. It should be similar to how it works now but the list of overrides should be user-customizable and '''empty by default.''' So that we regular people don't bother ourselves with encodings and languages we're never going to use.
I wonder if I'm the only one who's disappointed with FF's font settings. Couldn't find anything on this topic on the 'net.
</rant>

'''Xircal:''' this does not seem to be the case. When I go to Options > Content > Advanced > Other Languages I can see that Proportional is set to Sans Serif, and that Sans-Serif is set to Arial. The following line is also in my about:config:
font.default.x-unicode user set string sans-serif
'''cor-el:''' yes this is the address. While on this page, if I go to View > Character Encoding, the active selection is Unicode (UTF-8).
'''Edit:''' if I manually change this site's encoding to Western (ISO-8859-1) the font changes to that I specified for Western encoding in Advanced font options.

How do I change the default font for foot/end notes in Pages 09?

The fonts for notes in Pages seems fixed to Helvetica, even when the font for the body has been changed. I've been able to save the font for the body by saving it as a tempate, but it doesn't seem to work for the notes. Any help?

looked several times in the index.xml describing the docs.
A new note descriptor starts with :
<sf:p sf:style="kSFWPFootnoteTextStyleIdentifier">
If we change something to the note attributes the app replace the default style by a custom one. For instance, it may be :
<sf:p sf:style="SFWPParagraphStyle-68">
My first attempt was to insert a font descriptor in the default style.
Alas, for the app, such descriptor is pure garbage and it delete it.
Second attempt was to try to find the descriptor of the font used by default.
At last, I discovered that the app use in fact the font described by the resouirce named : FONT_Helvetica in the Blank template.
I choose to use HoeflerText-Regular so I applied this scheme.
(1) navigate to the file
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank.template:Contents:Resources:fr .lproj:Localizable.strings
(2) to play safety, duplicate it
(3) drag it on the Desktop bercause the System don't allow us to edit it.
(4) When it's on the desktop, if you installed the developers tools double click the file's icon.
If you didn't, drag & drop its icon on TextEdit's one.
(5) Near the bottom, you will find the line :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "Helvetica";
edit it as :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "HoeflerText-Regular";
(6) Save the file on the Desktop,
(7) Move it back in its original folder.
I described the process for the French language (which use fr.lproj)
For other languages, replace fr.lproj by the item of this liost matching your language :
da.lproj
de.lproj
en.lproj
es.lproj
fi.lproj
fr.lproj
it.lproj
ja.lproj
ko.lproj
nl.lproj
no.lproj
pl.lproj
pt_PT.lproj
pt.lproj
ru.lproj
sv.lproj
zh_CN.lproj
zh_TW.lproj
Have fun.
Oops, of course Pages is supposed to be closed when you do that.

Change Font in TextArea

Hello,
I'm working on a small Editor-App and I just want to add the oppurtunity to change fonts. I'm using a TextArea and it should be possible to change the font for parts of the TextArea, not just for the whole one.
Thanks for your solutions

The java.awt.TextArea doesn't support multiple fonts in a single TextArea. AFAIK, if you want to use java.awt, you'll have to write your own. The javax.swing text classes make it easier.

Particular font for entire pdf document

Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
How can i do it?

Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

Fonts for Java

Hi,
I am a font developer, and Java developer as well. I have made some OpenType fonts for Windows 2000 that support Arabic Script ranges in Unicode 3.0. Now when I make a Java program on that machine, that uses this font, it works fine. But I can't use this application on other platforms, because my font is for Windows. Is there any why I can ship my font with my program, so that one can see same glyphs and ligatures on platforms other than Windows?

Hi,
I used Java to support Indian langauge of Kannada. And it works well in bothe IE and Netscape (and its plain AWT). I'm using a plain TTF for this. Its not a Unicode font. But with this approach, there is a problem.
Let me take an example to explain what I want to say. When I press the 'k' key I get 'ka' character displayed, which is made up of 2 glyphs. And now if I press BACKSPACE, only one of the 2 glyphs is deleted which is undesirable. Its the same case when you press DELETE key. So is the case for all other characters in all the Indian langauges. Here I'd like to know...
1. If the font were a opentype, could we bind the 2 glyphs into a group such that if any one of the glyphs is deleted, both the glyphs gets removed from the TextArea or TextField?
2. If the font were a opentype, can it be that if I press the 'k' key on the keyboard, the unicode value for 'ka' is inserted into the TextArea and the glyphs for 'ka' character is displayed?
Please reply.
Regards,
Harsha P. Ravnikar

it into

Hummm I'm looking into Unicode right now but have no idea how
it works.
I also have to translate these headings into Arabic. I've
experiemented
by copying some Arabic text from a news site, dumping it into
Illustrator, choosing one of the Arabic fonts which ship with
the OS but
it looks nothing like that what was on the website lol.

HT5072 What is the default font for I-books author. I believe it is Helvetica 14. thanks/marv

What is the default font for I-books author, the one brest to choose so that book is readable om an i-pad. Is it Helvetica 14? How about the paragraph pf text that introduces each chapter (it is a larger font, I believe) Thanks.

It depends on the template and the part of the text. Just click your mouse on the text and you should see the font name in the format bar at the top.

Choosing oracle for linux ! what are merits and demerits

we are going to choose oracle for linux for our e-commerce site which will serve as search engin and shopping mall.

Thanks cgawoods for the advice...
I followed all the steps that you mentioned... Installing the Oracle client proved to be easy as pie on the Linux server, and connecting to the Oracle instance on the NT server was instantaneous with sqlplus... tnsping also finds the Oracle server without a hitch.
I also made the modifications to the coldfusion start script you mentioned, i.e. setting ORACLE_HOME, etc (which is also mentioned in Allaire's docs).
However.... (yes, here it comes) The DSN still comes up as 'failed' when I try to add a new one using the native drivers in the Coldfusion Administrator.
Do I need to do anything on the Oracle server side (NT) first in order to get things working?
I'm pretty stumped at this point as to why this won't work.
Thanks
DH
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by cgawoods ():
I've done Cold Fusion installs on Solaris 2.6, and am an OCP DBA. If you download the Oracle 8.0.5 EE (RedHat 5.2) or Oracle8i EE(Redhat 6.0-6.2) Server programs, you may use the "Server" installation as an Oracle Client. Once you get Oracle installed, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file to point to your remote database. Then, you will need to point Cold Fusion to the $ORACLE_HOME where you installed the Oracle Server software. You will want (and probably need) to use the "native" oracle driver for Cold Fusion instead of the ODBC driver. Once the Oracle installation is complete, and you can "tnsping" the Oracle instance on NT, you should be able to configure Cold Fusion to talk to your Oracle database. It's just a matter of reading Allaire's documentation on configuring Cold Fusion for use with Oracle at that point.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

Choosing colours for text.

A friend of mine, who uses Windows, replies to my emails by inserting text coloured red, into my original message. It is a terrific idea, so I went looking for instructions on how to do it with Mac.
I'd also like to be able to highlight passages in new emails I write, by colouring the text.
I found a Mac. instruction entitled "Choosing colours for text and objects". Unfortunately, it suffers from the common Mac. problem of being written by a geek, who assumes that the reader knows what he knows and fails to adequately define the method and also fails to describe how it works. Here is the offending passage:
Select the text or object whose color you want to change and open the Colors panel.
"Select the text" is the bit where the writer failed.
* The method of selecting the text is not given.
* No insight is given as to how it works.
** Can a new email be set up so as to type it in red?
** Or is the method to type it, THEN change it to red?
** If the latter is the case, how can I reply as described above, by inserting passages into a received email?
** Also, how can I highlight a passage in a new email, by using red font?
I should be most grateful, if someone who understands how the system works, would teach me how to achieve what I have described above.
Incidentally and in fairness, the Colours panel part of the instruction is clearly written and I don't need any help with that.

"Select the text" is the bit where the writer failed.
The method of selecting the text is not given.
That's a standard OS thing... just click and drag over the text you want to select.
Double-click to select a word. Triple-click to select a paragraph.
Can a new email be set up so as to type it in red?
Or is the method to type it, THEN change it to red?
Again, this follows the standard UI rules, namely:
1) If there is something selected, change that (i.e. if you have some text selected and you choose red in the color palette, the selected text goes red.
2) If nothing is selected, use the chosen color from this point on (i.e. the next characters you type will be in the chosen color).
Note that color (and font) selections are position-dependent. That is if you type two paragraphs, then set the second one to red (by selecting it), the first one doesn't change. Additionally if you click back in the first paragraph you'll continue to type in the default font/color, not red, because that is what the first paragraph was written in. Hope that makes sense.

Need help in finding a font for a logo

I was looking for help in finding a font for my logo. I'm not a designer at all, so I'm calling on all the fine designers and folks on the Adobe site to help me out. All replies are, of course, appreciated and any suggestions/comments/ideas will be welcome.
I'm designing a logo for my film company. I wanted to keep it simple but not boring either. I put together the first draft of the logo using Photoshop CS3 and used Trajan Pro for the film company words (Panthera Films) and used Futura for the slogan ("Inspiration through Imagination"). While I don't mind the fonts, it's simple but, alas, too boring. I love the panther image but need a dynamic font for "Panthera Films" and a complimenting font for the slogan.
Can anyone recommend a good combination of fonts to replace the Trajan Pro and Futura? As well, I want to give the logo a nice presence without it being too loud, bold or jumping off the page. As well, should the font for "Films" be the same as "Panthera" or can they be different?
The image I attached is something I was thinking to use as a banner on a website.
Any help would be appreciated too with this
TIA,
Dale

Dale,
As I said, I like it too.
You may consider making it a bit heavier, maybe bold, for readability at small sizes.
It is hard to recommend a specific font because it should represent your company and what it stands for. Have you tried typing the name in a word processing application (Worst or something better) and then running through all the font you have? If not, that might give you a few new thoughts about the overall kind of font you feel is the right one. And then it is much easier to recommend something.
