[Cp6] Fonts are not displayed "real size"

Hello,
We're trying to get a consistant look of our productions through various software used and we just discovered that Captivate fonts are displayed smaller than in Word or software from the competition.
I fear this has something to do with the screen "DPI" the software estimates (72dpi or 96dpi).
Here you can see the result in Word, Captivate, Flash and Photoshop :
Any advice or tip about this ?
Thanks.
PJ

I know exactly what you mean, I've been in the print before .
It's true that in the Adobe products, especially Photoshop, 100% means 1 pixel from image is 1 pixel on screen. Same for Flash, less for Illustrator, vector based and working with document size in cms or inches.
But, as long as font size is in points, not in pixels, there has to be a link between pixels and actual screen size.
Here's what I found so far : Office applications rely on screen resolution given by the operating system (Display control panel), which is 96dpi for me, and is correct.
Adobe applications seem to default to 72dpi. You can alter this in Photoshop ( Preferences > Units and Rulers, and Screen resolution).
Here's the comparision between 96 and 72 dpi documents in Photoshop (each rectangle is a different document) :
Plus, Photoshop automatically converted Myriad 39 to Myriad 52 when copy/pasting from the 96 dpi document to the 72 one !
I can't find the equivalent setting in Captivate, so we'll have to maintain two lists of font sizes to get a consistent look.

Fonts are not displaying right

I'm creating a website with Muse and I need to use Scandic letters. But they don't seem to work. I've tried both web fonts and web safe fonts but the letters are still not displayed. I have closed Muse and relaunced it with no success. I'm using the latest version. In previous versions I didn't have any problems like this.
The site is www.sumiaispiiras.com I really need help to solve this fast.

Hello,
what I was doing was launching the website without doing it in Business Catalyst (through ftp directly to my web host using my own domain) however the fonts didn't work. So I tried to launch it in BC and the fonts were working perfectly there. After that I contacted my system provider (web host) and what they did was that the added .htaccess file "AddDefaultCharset UTF-8" to my homepage. So the problem was that they didn't have the same code as what Muse uses. So if anyone has the same problem, try to publish the page in BC and see if the fonts work there if they do the problem is not with Muse.

The fonts are not displaying correctly

When I open a text box and type all of the fonts are all basically the same. They donot display correctly. I uninstalled and re-installed photoshop elements 11 and they still do not work.

Hi,
Have you tried resetting the Type tool?
Click on the icon ...
...... select Reset Tool from the drop down list.
If that doesn't work, please let know which operating system you are running on.

Some fonts are not displayed correctly

We are developing an application where in the font for the whole application can be changed from a particular font dialog.the problem is that although it works fine for majority of the fonts, rectangular boxes are displayed for Impact, Marlett, Symbol, Webdings, wingdings font.
i am doing a
GraphicsEnvironment ge =GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); for getting the fonts and displaying it in a JList.Is there any way of suppressing these fonts from being displayed to the user ?

Yes these fonts have one feature - see http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4279855.html
so you can check them by next way :
     GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.
getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     Font[] fonts = null;
     if (ge != null) {
          fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
     for (int i=0; i < fonts.length; i++) {
          fonts.canDisplay('a');

Vietnamese fonts are not displayed correctly.

The Vietnamese input program worked fine in the previous version but in version 4 the texts are not aligned correctly. See this http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr219/september17th/untitled-16.jpg
The character set used is Composite Unicode and input method is VNI. I tried VN forum but no one care about it =.= Also this is the FF problem those texts displayed correctly in Chrome. Those posts are here http://www.tinhte.vn/tin-tuc-su-kien-10/hp-va-dell-cong-khai-chi-trich-ipad-2-cua-apple-644640/index15.html

I also have this problem, hope this problem will be fixed in the next release. More info: http://vozforums.com/showpost.php?p=28008790&postcount=61

Fonts are not displaying correctly in certain apps

Some of my fonts are appearing much higher within UI elements than they should be. Any ideas?

I doubt this is a hardware issue – hardware issues are agnostic of specific characters, as this is the case it seems:
There's no 'c' or 't' not corrupted and on the other hand – it seems – no corrupted 'd's.
Have you just tried setting the font to something different?

Web fonts are not displaying

Hello -
For some reason my Firefox install is not displaying web fonts properly - It may have been doing this before the 13 upgrade. Doesn't matter if it's @font-face or Typekit or whatever, it's just goes down the fallback list until it finds one that I have installed on my computer.

Is downloadable fonts enabled?
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Any errors about loading the font file in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Shift+Ctrl+K)?

Fonts are not displayed properly when Book assembled for PRINT Preview

I am having an issue with fonts not being displayed correctly within Aperture Book design application. I have used a script font (Snell Roundhand) for the cover of my book that has quotations marks around the title. However the quotations marks that are displayed after the book is assembled, go to the default Times Roman not Snell. They do not match the Snell Roundhand font quotations that are supplied with that font. What gives? Also . . . after they the dust cover is displayed the next page is the hard bound foil page which displays Times Roman for the title . . . not the font I have selected (Snell Roundhand). What gives with that? Is there a way to change the font before it goes to the printer. Any work around ideas. I have tried several different fonts to see if anything else comes close. Everything looks like a variation of Times. HELP . . . trying to hit PURCHASE BOOK . . . . hopefully without flaws!!

I kind of remember the foil letters might be fixed - cannot remember but here is a related conversation that might help (or not)

Ps. I have not done this through the Apple book printing service myself - I always order soft cover as give aways and use another service for other printing but live vicariously through others withe the Apple hardcover books.

Fonts are not displaying correctly

Hello,
I was not quite sure where to post this problem, but I hope it will work out here.
The problem: Sometimes my laptop (HP Elitebook 2540p connected to a dockingstation) acts very weird. The letters (inside any program) become black/grey rectangles for no reason. Then I have to reboot my laptop and everything works fine, again.
I think a picture says more than hundred words, so here it is:

As you can see I am using i3 desktop environment and this "problem" exists across applications.
Is this some kind of hardware/graphics issue or something software specific?? It does not look very good
Hope someone can help me..?

My Fonts are not displaying as their are supposed to look

Hello all, I use PhotoShop CS4 on a Mac, I have the most recent patch installed and I am on OS 10.6.8
I have a lot of nice looking fonts. When I view the font in Font Book I see how they are supposed to look in Capital, Lowercase etc.... But when I choose some,- not all, of them to be a text in PS I get some plain Ariel looking font. Is this a PS thing of a FontBook/Apple thing
Second Question: Should I keep Bitmap version of fonts if I have the TT or PostScript. Are there any artistic things you can do with a Bit Map font in Ps as opposed to the other types.
Thank you.

Sounds like corrupted files, either Photoshop's preferences or the font cache.
Try holding down Command+Option+Shift as you launch Photoshop until you see the dialog box asking you if you want to delete preferences, click yes.
You can use Cocktail, Onyx or any such utility to clear all your font caches.

Fonts are not displaying clearly on PC chrome or firefox

I'm using the Muse supplied web fonts, Montserrat and French Canon Small Caps, on several Muse sites. However, when viewed on a PC in Chrome and FIrefox, these fonts appear jagged and pixellated. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Windows Fonts Will Not Display In Photoshop Elements 9

Hi,
I have a new Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer and have just installed Photoshop Elements 9. When I use the "Horizontal Text" tool and click on the fonts drop down list to select a font, it only lists a small number of fonts and does not display all the standard Windows fonts such as Arial, Times Roman, Verdana etc which all display perfectly fine in my other applications such as Word, Excel, Publisher, Notepad etc. Has any one got any ideas as to why all my Windows fonts are not displaying in the drop down list? Is there a special setting I need to configure for Photoshop 9 to see all my Windows fonts?
Regards,
Paul.

Hi 99jon,
Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I am using a Laptop and you were spot on. If I use the UP/DOWM cursor key's I can scroll through and see the list of all my fonts ok. I was originally trying this by using my scroll up/down wheel on my mouse and for some reason it will not scroll the list (I did not think to try the cursor keys) so thanks very much for your help!
Paul.

MathType OTF font is not displaying InDesign

Equations created in MathType using 'eucsym.otf' font are not displaying in InDesign when saved and placed as eps file.
My client asked me to use only OTF fonts.
I've attached screenshot.
Any suggestion or help will be useful...

@Peter, it's only the Mac version of MathType that can save as PDF. I suspect we'll build this capability into a future release of MathType for Windows, but OS X forced us to do it for the Mac.
@Ramprasad, I've got your EPS and I'll be running some tests with Euclid Symbol OTF with InDesign CC this morning. I'll report what I find.
