CS4 small caps size and tracking

Found something annoying. Maybe someone can confirm it (or explain it?)
before I file a bug report. I'm using 6.01.532 on Windows XP SP2.
Set some type in full/small caps using a font that doesn't have true
small caps. Change the small caps size to something ridiculous (like
30%) in Preferences and you should be able to see the change when you
okay Prefs. Now set some tracking on the type and try to change the
small caps size in Preferences again.
Does your type show the change, or does it ignore your setting in
Preferences?

Thanks, Peter
I can't duplicate it today. I did try restarting ID yesterday (and it's
been restarted again this morning), and it was showing up yesterday only
hours after trashing prefs due to a different problem (that was fixed by
trashing prefs). Mystery.

How do you find the frequency of a small sample size and a square wave.

I am collecting data from ten 12v pulses that are seperated pretty uniformly. The pulses make a square wave. I need to know how to input this small sample size and find it frequency. I need this frequency to be output in a readable file. Im not very knowledgeable in labview so if you try and help me please be very descriptive.
I know i need some sort of trigger because of uknown wait times before the sensor will be triggored but other than that im pretty lost. Any help would be appreciated.

What have you tried so far? What parts are giving you trouble? Please be as specific as possible. Post the code you have written.
You ask about frequency measurement and then you are talking about triggering.
If you always have 10 pulses, just measure the time from the beginning of the first pulse to the beginning of the last pulse. The frequency is 10/time.
Break down the problem to smaller parts. Acquire the data. Measure the frequency. Save the result to a file. Get each part working separately, then put them together.

Sorry about duplicate post. My internet connection is very slow today.

My windows appear 'zoomed out'. That is, the display has small font sizes and lots of information in each window. This happened 'on it's own' one day when I logged in. How do I zoom it in again and keep it there?

Example 1 - Yahoo email 'inbox' page.
The font size of the list of emails in my yahoo email 'inbox', is about 8 (that is very small). In fact it is everything in the 'inbox' window except the adverts.
The font size used to be 12 which is bigger and more easily readable.
Example 2 - 'My ebay' summary page.
To read the list of 'activities' to choose from on the left of the 'summary page' I have to scroll down for ages until the second activity appears and then scroll down for ages again to get to the third activity and so on. It's as though the summary page was 20 meters long.
All the activities used to be on the left when I opened the summary page.
It is as though some setting has changed with out me knowing. I don't know if this is relevant but I think it might have happened after I accepted a Java update.
Thanks for whatever help is offered,
Tony

To zoom in and out of a page, hit the CTRL and + (plus) or - (minus) keys.
You can use the + or - keys either above the QWERTY keyboard, or the numerical keypad on the side.

Swap file size and tracking down the culprit

I have a new MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and I've been having problems with swap files. While the swap seems to default to 64 MB when I start, it will quickly grow to 2 GB and then the machine seems to create new files after every time I wake the machine from sleep, but the older swap files are left around until I restart. At 2 GB or so per file, this means I'm forced to restart simply to recover lost disk space. I have 8 GB of real memory, but even with 5 or 6 GB free, the swap file still grows.
Since the problem occurs even when I'm not using my computer for much else I've narrowed the four main culprits to HP printer software, Dropbox, Crashplan, and Lytro. I completely uninstalled Lytro and all its support files this morning and uninstalled the HP printer drivers. I downloaded the most recent installer from HP and did a minimal install so that the HP Print Monitor is not part of the installation.
This still leaves Crashplan, which requires Java if you are going to run the main app and then Dropbox, which has a menu component as well as background processes.
Of course, the problem could be some other service or application that has a memory leak, but I don't know how to go about diagnosing the problem. Do either Crashplan or Dropbox have known memory leak issues?
I have iCloud turned on, Time Machine is off, and Sharing is off. I use a combination of Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome for browsing, but typically only have Chrome open; but I guess there is a possibility that a plug-in is causing problems.

No, I see nothing recent in that directory (haven't used it in a while anyway). I suppose it was a simple matter of a bloated pacman cache.
I think you may have misunderstood. If you unmount /mnt/backups you should see no files at all when you list the directory. Any files which are there will be masked when the partition is mounted.
You're right. I misunderstood you, and having finally tried your suggestion I find that you were absolutely right! Thank you!! This was so perplexing me how I could not account for such a significant amount of space on such a meager partition, and this buys me a lot more time to strategize what to do with this file system
I unmounted /mnt/backups and found that 1.7 GB of files were still left over, which I was able to remove. Now my file sizes add up, except only ~ 0.5G (of a 7.8G file system), which I guess is probably the 5% that ext3 is "reserving for root"?
Anyway, I like to idea of sparing some space for being able to log into root in case I fill up my system again (it certainly came in handy this time), but how much can I reasonably reduce that amount to?

AMs and PMs - how to search for small-caps?

In my book I'm proofreading I have a mixture of (because I was undecided when I was putting it together):
i 7.00 a.m.
i 7.00 am
i 7.00am
I ran these three options past about twenty people this morning, 6 voted for the first, 8 voted for the second, 3 voted for the third, and 1 person and myself voted for the option I can't show properly here: small-caps: 7.00 AM. Then of course there was the wag who told me: "Why don't you just say '7 o'clock in the morning' "? And the complete ratbag who suggested, in the interests of avoiding confusion: "7.00 am o'clock in the morning before lunch at 0700 hours."
Before I make them all the same format, which will very likely be small-caps, I want to make sure I can easily search for them so I can replace with an alternative style if I change my mind again later on.
QUES: How do I search for "AM" and "PM" (spaces before and after) if they are formatted in small-caps? I can't use paragraph styles because the AMs and PMs appear in a variety of styles already.

Thanks for all the hints. I'm going to try some of them to see how they work. I should make it clear though (my original post may have been unclear about this) that I was asking how to search for AM in small caps AFTER I had changed all time-formats to that form.
As for why I asked for input: I treat my book a bit like a democracy and give people a chance to vote on certain aspects and make comments just in case they have a good idea that I hadn't thought of; but yes, I'm the boss, and in terms of votes mine counts for 95%. In this case, someone suggested using a colon -- which I have taken on board. So I will be using the time format 7:30 AM to see how it looks. But if I don't like it, I want to be able to find all the small-cap AMs and change them to something else in one go.
My interest in time-formats has stirred some interest locally. My partner proof reads a walking club magazine and she received the latest edition lat night. She has never concerned about time formats before, but after my foray into different options, she came up with the following variety (the club has lots of reports that include times when walking trips start and end), even though she thought she had done a thorough job of proof reading:
9 am
9.00am
9:00 am
9:00am
9.am
9 AM
9.00a.m.
9.00 a.m.

Simulated helvetica small caps not displayed acceptably in PDF

It's a never ending battle, this trying to get some sense out of computers. In a post earlier this year (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1287805#12878) I asked how to overcome the lack of proper small caps in Helvetica. Sandee came back with a suggestion, which I followed up, and it seemed to give reasonable results. And within InDesign, and when printed, it works.
However, when I export to PDF the small caps are not shown correctly on the screen. (The PDF file can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nmjlhmiwt3i). They look a mess unless you zoom in about 500%. They print okay, but I'm not having a messy looking PDF sent to the printer. It's nothing but offputting.
If that was the only difficulty I could probably accept it, but I intend making my two books freely available for download in PDF form and I certainly don't want rubbish-looking fonts on display.
It looks like my mock small caps may have to be replaced with caps.
QUES 1
Is it possible to make my mock small caps display acceptably on the screen within a PDF? I have tried exporting to PDF at various resolutions, and with optimize for web turned on and off, but that makes no difference.
QUES 2
Another option is to get hold of a Helvetica font (or similar) that does have small caps. Where could I get hold of one of those?
The original InDesign file from which the PDF was obtained, can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?zddtj5m5d3q in case anyone wants to play around.

Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised the PDF looked okay, so I've emailed it to half a dozen people to see how it looks on their system. Maybe it's my screen or my Adobe Reader that's at fault.
I have attached two screen captures of what it look like on my screen. One at 100%, the other at 200%.
I'd like to continue using Helvetica because it's the one I've used in about 200 sidebars. If I change fonts, I imagine I could be days cleaning up the text oversets or undersets. I did think of changing fonts, and looked at all the sans serifs on my system, including the Open Type ones, but none had small caps. And buying an expert set: I could spend the next two days trying to sort out where to buy one of those and whether it actually contain small caps. Plus, I can't justify a price in excess of $100 for the sake of 400 words.

Size and Position of a document"s window

Why doesn't InDesign CS4 remember the size and position of a document"s window?
This worked in all previous InDesign versions + it certainly still works in Photoshop and Illustrator CS4.

This is an annoying problem for me too. Recently upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I use styles a lot and like to keep the palletes for them open on the bottom right of the screen. I used to reduce the width of a window of a document back so it sat to left of these palletes and it would stay this way whenever I opened it, but now every time I open a document it defaults to full screen width and so need to move the styles palletes to access the thing at the bottom right of the document window to resize it. This is very annoying. How do you set it so Indesign remembers a document's window width as well as its position? If you can't, why the hell not? Also tried this with application frame, but it has the same behaviour within the frame. Not keen on application frame anyway, still like the option-click on the desktop behind to hide the app quickly.

Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen

Hi, I just own a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and high resolution screen.
When I start Adobe Reader, the document area seems to be readable, with "normal size fonts", but the options menú in the right side uses a very small fonts size and is hardly readable.
I tried to change it using the Windows "change menu, title, icons size, but withpout success.
Any solution for it?
By the way, in a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch, there is not "magnyfying glass" combination key and the zoom function of the touch screen doesn't work either in that right side menu área (it works in the document area, not in the right side menu area).
Any help will be welcomed.
Thanks.

Hi, Pat, test done.
Thanks for your suggestion, it was somehow helpful, or, let say, half and half.
It was helpful in the way that when I opened the preferences Windows I was not able to see the full window, there was a part of the right side of the window that was out of the screen. So, when I changed the "scaling settings options and behaviour" from "Auto" (default value) to 100% everything was in the display.... So, this was of high help.
BUT I was not able to find any way in all the suggested document for making the fonts used in the right window of the Adobe Reader, the one where the "Tools" and "Comments" menus are displayed more readable, bigger size, than the one that the product uses by default in the High DPI display.
So, thanks for the suggested document that helped to solve the first point.
BUT
Any other idea that could help for changing the fonts used in the "Tools" or "Comments" menu window?
Thanks and kind regards.
Javier

Small file size, but still high quality?

Hello, I am filming weddings for clients but I am unable to export them with a small enough file size so that they are able to see it on their slower computer. And it is a pain when it doesn't even fit on a dvd. These videos are somewhere around 2 hours long. I would also like to have them still HD. The only way I have been slightly succesful is to upload them to youtube then download them off again. Is there a way to do this? I have already tried H.264. Thank you for your time!

Use the Adobe Media Encoder and h.264. It's currently your best option for small file size and HQ playback. You should also use AME to encode for DVD. 2 hours will easily fit on a DVD. If you want HD then burn a BluRay. That format will also hold a nicely compressed 2 hr movie. It's done all the time. You just have to learn about encoding for distribution. The standard presets are very good.

I would like to insert an e with circumflex accent in small caps on word office MAC, any tips?

In Word Command/Shift-k turns on and off small caps. e and 3 gives you what you are looking for.

Removing underline on link that is small caps and different sizes

I have this in a section of my HTML page. This is what is says but it is in small caps, 2 of the words are larger, and it's a maroon color and centered.

Small caps - is there a way to change size ratio of lower to upper case?

I am using Adobe InDesign CS4 and one problem I've had is that when I select Small Caps on the character styles panel, lower case characters are about 60% the size of upper case characters. I'd like this to be more around 80% in my document.
I don't see a way to do this, so I'm having to avoid using Small Caps and am having to select various portions of each word and set them to different sizes.
Is there a setting I am missing for Small Caps that would save me this trouble? My typeface is Minion so I may also see if there's a variant available that uses well-crafted small caps.

Dave,
>.. adjust the size of the "lowercase" characters by using a GREP style
Yes ... and no.
It doesn't have to be an extremely complicated GREP style. You mention Unicode ranges, but it's not even necessary. You could try
>[a-z]
to select all lowercase characters, but it leaves out accented ones. Now specifying ranges for these doesn't work very good (to put it mildly), because they do not appear consecutively in the Unicode set.
Fortunately, GREP has a wildcard
>\l
for "lowercase", and this matches
i every
lowercase character (even Greek and Russian ones). It's equal to the POSIX expression
>[[:lower:]]
As this seems to work just the way you want, then why the "No"? The GREP style will be applied to
i all
lowercase characters in the paragraph, not just to the words you wanted.
[Warning: Dirty trick follows. Do Not Copy Unless Forced To.]
Of course you can
i force
the GREP style pick up 'unique' words by making them unique somehow. If you insert an invisible character
i before
and
i after
the words you want to mark -- in the case at hand, the ones you want to small-capitalize --, you can include the invisible characters in the GREP style. For example, by specifying
>~-\l+~-
you can "mark" words by inserting a soft hyphen before and after certain words. (This example also presumes only lowercase characters inbetween.) You don't have to use the soft hyphen, there are a couple more markers you could (ab)use. I think I'll leave it up to your imagination to wonder where it could possibly go wrong.
