Difference in font rendering between 8 and 9

I've got a PDF that appears differently in Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9. In Acrobat 8 there are fonts that have remapped to the "undefined" character - boxes instead of letterforms. In Acrobat 9 the file looks correct. "Use local fonts" is turned off in both versions.
My RIP rendered the PDF as it appeared in Acrobat 8.
I've my system fonts pared down to the minimum. In Acrobat 9 I can even convert the font to outlines (via PitStop). Anybody got any idea where Acrobat 9 is pulling these fonts from? The fonts in question on this file are ArialNarrow-Bold, ArialNarrow-BoldItalic, and TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT.

Use getFont() on each to the comonents to make sure they are using the same font.

Difference in font rendering of JList and other text components

Hi,
I have a swing application using JTextField,JTextArea and JList.When I use a font
for an Indian Language for these components,the JList shows the data correctly
but the other components shows it with junk characters.Is there a difference in the font rendering behaviour of JList from others?

Difference in text rendering between PDF and Mars?

I was doing some testing with Mars and stumbled upon what
seemed like suboptimal text rendering. Because it was quite subtle
and I wanted to make sure there was an actual difference, I did a
little comparison between PDF and Mars rendering.
See this image. Can
you see a difference?
I'm still not sure whether there is an actual difference, but
I still somehow got the impression that the upper example (PDF) is
a little more polished then the lower one (Mars). Are different
rendering paths actually used? Will it remain that way?
My SVG for Mars was very simple:
<text font-size="10pt" x="20" y="20" fill="rgb(0,0,0)"
font-family="F0">aex</text>
The PDF was produced with MS Office 2007 and Microsofts Save
as PDF plugin (also at 10pts). The font is Gentium.

The difference *IS* subtle, but you're right -- there does
appear to be a perceptible difference between the two samples.
Without making an in-depth study, it's hard to say whether we
can do anything about this. Even though they're both opened in
Acrobat, the rendering path for a Mars document is *VERY* different
from the path for a PDF document, and many of the events along the
chain are out of the control of those of us writing the Mars
plugin. There are some text-quality issues that I'd like to take
care of in time for our next release, however; perhaps I'll be able
to address this particular issue at the same time.

Font rendering and legacy X applications

For some time, I have had problems keeping older applications working well as the X font system evolves. For example, I have many drawings created in Xfig, and the fonts stopped being rendered correctly some time ago. Converting all these files for a new drawing package like Inkscape would be a pain. The other main problem occurs with a commercial CAD package (Eagle), which is statically linked to Qt2, and does not play nicely when anti-aliasing is applied to Qt3/KDE apps.
Xfig and others
The problem here is that Xfig would render fonts with the letters too closely spaced, such that the on-screen representation no longer matches the printed or PDF output. I fixed this by forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution, rather than using the resolution determined by the X server from probing the monitor. To do this, put a line in the Monitor section of XF86Config or xorg.conf:
DisplaySize 433 347
The above x and y values were calculated for a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Another fix I have done for Xfig is to patch the sources to pick up the URW font names instead of the Adobe names for the standard Postscript fonts. If anyone is interested, I could make a proper Arch package for this.
Forcing the resolution is admittedly a kludge. I might look into font rendering in an Xlib application, to see if there is some extra code needed to handle the proper resolution correctly.
Gtk-2.0 UI fonts at 75DPI
An unfortunate side effect of forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution is that the menu and other UI fonts in Gtk apps end up too small. This was noticed on Gvim and Gnumeric. KDE and Qt programmes appear to be unaffected. This can be fixed by creating a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory with the following contents:
gtk-font-name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 12"
Put whatever font and size you like. I have no information on the format of the gtkrc file. The above was adapted from a page found on Google.
Mozilla (which uses Gtk) needs some individual tweaking, as the UI fonts end up far too big. In preferences->fonts, set the resoultion to 72 DPI.
The above measures should only be required if you have forced 75DPI. I had no problems with Gtk apps prior to doing that.
Eagle
The problem with Eagle appears to be related to the fact that it uses Qt2 (statically linked) in a Qt3 environment. This might also occur with other apps, but Eagle is the only one I know about. When antialising is turned on via KDE control center, this modifies .qt/qtrc, and so affects all Qt applications. If I have anti-aliasing turned on, the fonts in Eagle are very ragged and badly spaced.
I fixed this by modifying the font path in XF86Config, to remove the entry /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. The problem appears to be that Eagle is picking up one of the True Type fonts, instead of a Type 1 or bitmapped font. Turning on antialing in Qt appears to alter its font selection behaviour (fontconfig?) as well as font rendering.
An interesting outcome of experimenting with the font path is that removing entries only affects older applications. KDE and other modern apps work perfectly well with only the mandatory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc entry present. As far as I know, this is because modern toolkits like Qt3 and Gtk2 use fontconfig to find fonts.

I now made two screenshots of Mail: The first one while the external display was disconnected, the second one when it was connected (and Mail moved to the external display). I opened both screenshots in Photoshop and there was a clear difference between the font renderings: On the screenshot of the internal display, the fonts are smoothed with black and grey pixels only, while on the screenshot from the external display they are smoothed with colored pixels. This is the reason why the text looks so bad on the external one. Therefore, it is definitely a problem of the font rendering. In Photoshop, the difference of font rendering is clearly visible!
See here:
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5389/fontt.jpg
The first line is internal display, the second line external display. That's unbelievable.
Another thing: I found out that it's not only Mail that has the problem - it is any application that was started after the external display had been connected. It seems that OS X applies the font rendering setting at the moment a application is starts. When I disconnect the display, start Finder, Mail, Safari and so on, and then connect the display, then all the applications look great even on the external display. When I quit the apps and then restart, the font rendering is broken again

Font rendering differences between Xfce and KDE

Hi,
I am using both KDE and Xfce (mostly Xfce with KDE apps) and I observed that there is a font rendering difference between Gtk (Xfce) and QT (KDE) apps.
In both desktop environments I use dejavu sans font, size 9 and I have set RGB subpixel rendering and hinting to full.
I created some screenshots of dolphin and thunar to illustrate the differences (right click and select view image to see the screenshots in full resolution)
Can somebody help me to make gtk app fonts to look the same as qt ones? Or at least tell me why there is this difference.
Thank you.

I cant tell you why there is a difference, but this page may help you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
I ended up installing the Ubuntu patched packages in the AUR, but there are different options.

Difference in the display/rendering between two 7.4 portal systems

Hi everyone,
At this moment we are faced with a difference in the display/rendering between two 7.4 portal systems (see red area’s in screenshots). Both systems are green field installations.
At our LAB system with EP-BASIS 1000.7.40.7.0.20140421205300 and EP-RUNTIME 1000.7.40.7.0.20140414131600 the portal is rendered as follows:
Our development system DEV is based on EP-BASIS 1000.7.40.8.7.20141217073700 and EP-RUNTIME 1000.7.40.8.13.20150106224500. The portal is displayed as follows:
Both portal systems use the standard SAP Gold Reflection theme.
The expectation was that the DEV portal would have the same view as the LAB portal. Unfortunately, it appears that the DEV portal falls back to the older standard SAP Tradeshow theme when displaying (for example) the Portal Content Studio or the UWL. Different stylesheets (CSS) are loaded. There is no unified rendering and in our opinion this is not correct.
SCN provides much information about the various rendering problems that exists in the use of Internet Explorer in combination with the SAP Portal. However, it is unclear to us where to start with the analysis of this problem.
Answers / suggestions to the following questions will be highly appreciated:
Is it correct that the portal by default should make use of UR when the SAP Gold Reflection theme is used?
Is the difference of rendering caused by the difference in the versions of the EP BASIS / EP RUNTIME? (DEV portal has higher SP/patch level than LAB);
How to investigate this issue further and finally solve it?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards, Allan

Hi Allan
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Ok firstly in relation to this particular query, you can find additional information in the following documentation SAP Note:1852400 - UI theme designer (main note) .
Regarding the GOLD Reflection theme from a general perspective this is supported only alongside the UFP framework.
SAP Gold Reflection supports only Unified Rendering Lightspeed
In relation to your two other queries. Could you kindly clarify which particular version of IE you are presently running and also if compability mode is presently enabled/disabled?

Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

Hi.
I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
- When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
- When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

Difference in the Balance between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Curr

Hi,
When i am trying to match the Balances between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency for the Period 8, we are getting the difference, The reconcilliaton Account was changed on 30.08.2010.
Please help Us in tracing the differences between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency.
What could be the possible reasons for the differences..
Thanks

Hi Varshani,
Please use the program/report SAPF070 to compare or reconcile your AR with GL balances. You can use SAPF071 to correct any inconsistencies. Provided below documentation for these programs.
SAPF070 - Compare Documents and Account Transaction Figures
Description
This program compares debit and credit transaction figures in customer, vendor, and G/L accounts with the debit and credit totals from documents posted in the corresponding posting period (accounting reconciliation). The sales totals are also compared for customer and vendor accounts. There is no separate comparison for special G/L transactions.
A comparison for G/L accounts can be made in company code currency and in parallel currencies (such as group currency). A comparison for customer and vendor accounts can only be made in company code currency.
After the program has finished, a message is issued to the user that started the program. This message summarizes the results of the reconciliation.
Output
The program compares the totals of an account on a periodic basis. If the debit and credit total differs between account and documents, the account is printed with the debit and credit totals and the difference.
Differences in G/L accounts are shown per transaction currency. The first line shows the amount in local currency, the second line shows the amounts in transaction currency.
If a document which falls within the selection range is posted during the program run, the program is terminated since a reliable result can no longer be delivered.
SAPF071 - Adjust Balances after Comparing Documents/Transaction Figures
Description
If a financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) shows that there are differences between documents and transaction figures, you can use this program to make an adjustment. The documents form the basis for this adjustment. The program adjusts the (redundant) transaction figures, which are only totals of amounts from documents.
Requirements
All of the following listed requirements must be fulfilled:
1. A financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) must be made, and differences must be found between documents and transaction figures.
2. There must not be any inconsistent documents found. These are listed in both SAPF070 and SAPF190 as well as in this program.
3. There cannot be any problems in the other modules. Caution: You have to check this yourself. Financial Accounting may be correct but the other modules may not be, and this will adversely affect the program run.
4. You can only make the adjustment in the ledgers which are compared by program SAPF070. This is ledger 00 or a user-defined ledger for all parallel local currencies except the group currency. (The program displays these ledgers). You have to adjust any additional ledgers as well as average balance ledgers yourself.
5. No documents during the period in which you are adjusting transaction figures can be archived. Caution: You must ensure that these documents are not archived by establishing appropriate organizational rules and procedures.
Only use this program after consulting with SAP or after checking the prerequisites thoroughly.
You should adjust all differences together for a single company code. By setting the program parameters you can limit the adjustment to G/L currency types or to balances in subledgers.
It is advisable to execute a test run first, which will list any differences that are found.

Font sizes between Photoshop and Edge - Any Accurate conversion table?

I have been trying to make sense of the font sizes between Photoshop and Edge. It seems that the conversion tables I have found do not actually give the right numbers and I am wondering if there is a table from Adobe that would make it easy to have the right size rather than an approximation.
I prefer to use text in Edge rather than Photoshop for many different reasons one being dynamic text.
For example a font in Photoshop in a 780 x 475 image is 8pt - In Edge, according to conversion tables it should be 11 px but it is totally wrong. It needs to be closer to 30 px to be about the same.
So, Adobe Team, any documentation on that?

By the way, I have to correct the numbers but they still do not make too much sense. The artist gave me a 300 dpi file so of course the px size what wrong. After converting the file to 72 dpi, the font size happens to be 33.33 pt or 40 px which is now way too big in Edge. It looks like the size my just be the same 33.33 pt would be 33.33 px. Is this correct?

The difference of sinad.vi between Sound & Vibration Toolkit and Singal Processing Toolkit

Hi, I'm confused with the the difference of sinad.vi between Sound & Vibration Toolkit and Singal Processing Toolkit.
When the input waveform is single tone, the output is almost the same, but raises much discrepancy while a certain distribution of the spectrum. Does the sinad.vi have some limitation to the input signal? Did I miss some setting of the terminals? Hope someone can give me some suggestion.

Report font changes between test and production

using developer 6i server on solaris 64 bit environment.
we have vnc configured on both machines. when we migrate a report from
the test machine to the production environment, the font specifications
are different in the html output. what should we look at to determine the cause?
the printers are set up the same on each machine, VNC is the same. anything else?
thanks
Jim

NLS_LANG setting is the same. uifont.ali files are the same.
the difference is primarily that some fonts are bold and a larger scale in production environment versus the test environment. we did a basic 9iAS install on each machine, so I don't think anything is different.
are there any environment variables that I should check for the user account that runs the forms and reports servers?
Jim

Openoffice and font rendering

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to have openoffice render my fonts the same way as fonts are being rendered in other programs? It obviosly doesn't seem to care about the .fonts.conf file, but instead seems to have it's own rendering technique, which gives me very bad font rendering. I don't know why Openoffice has chosen to do it's own font rendering, but is there anyway to change that?
The only option for font rendering in Openoffice is turning antialiasing on and off from a certain font size, but there's nothing about autohinter or subpixel hinting etc.
Regards,
Simon

It's not any font in particular, it's all fonts that are being rendered differently than in other programs, and this can only be due to the fact that Openoffice for some reason has its own way of rendering fonts. I don't know why and I don't know how to make it render fonts the way other programs do.

What difference on ABAP language between 2004 version and before version
