Different font quality in preview mode

Hello,
is it normal that fonts become so bulky in preview mode?
I´m using a Webfont in this case (PT Sans Narrow Bold)
Especially the button text.

Hi,
Please refer to the following threads for more information,

Text(font) stays in preview mode.

Hello,
I hope somebody knows how to fix this.
When you scroll fast in inDesign and go down a couple of pages inDesign applies some kind of standardfont to the text that you see so you can scroll faster(I guess it makes not having to load different fonts faster for scrolling).
The only problem I have is that some of my text stays in this standardfont and I can't change it.
The wierd thing is that it only applies every 2 other pages, so in example pages 1,2 are fine pages 3,4 have the standard thin no so readable font wich you can't change and pages 5-6 are fine again and so on.
I can't put in a new textbox because it will get the same effect and dragging text from a working page with good font applies the standard(?) textfont to it that looks like the same as when you are scrolling.
Hoping for an answer.
Greetings,
Swifty.

Font Change in Preview mode

The font I used while editing a cp4 slide changes when previewed in the web browser. This does not happen with other slides in my project. What can i do to prevent this?

Hi there
It might help if you could please insert images of what you see in each view. Perhaps by seeing what you are describing we might understand what may be happening.
Use the camera icon please. If you don't know what I'm referring to, click here and read the thread.

Page size different between design and preview modes

When I accept the default sizes when creating a new site, the page size appears as it should in design, but then when I preview it, it appears much larger, almost a perfect square. So, what I think I'm creating in design is not what I see when I preview it. See the example below. So what I think I'm designing in Design mode is not the result I get when I preview it. Can anyone tell me why that is? Is this a setting I can modify? I've been accepting the default settings when creating a new site.
Thanks very much!

Typekit fonts in Muse preview

Hi Does anyone know how to see typekit fonts in Muse Preview Mode? It would be really useful.
I've looked around on the web and there doesn't seem to be any solution currently.
It's a pain to keep publishing everytime I adjust a type size or leading.
Plus, after a while the published site looks 'broken' after several 'publishes' and I have to wait until the next day for the published browser version to update – I've tried emptying the browser cache etc and that doesn't work. So sad.
Muse is a great product. I would like to use it more, but I'm cautious about using any Typekit fonts until they are more 'seamless' with Muse.

Hi,
I am assuming you are using the Muse Insider workflow (http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html).
The following steps may help with local preview (File > Preview Site in Browser), though not in Preview mode
1. Add 127.0.0.1 to the comma-separated list of domains your Typekit kit is configured with. Publish your kit.
2. When you preview the site in the browser, the URL may read something like http://158.39.223.181:33333/Preview/website-1/index.html. Replace the number before the colon with 127.0.0.1 (http://127.0.0.1:33333/Preview/website-1/index.html).
Please let me know if that works.

How come that the design mode looks different than preview mode with slideshows?

hello,
I am placing a slideshow on the site. when I look in the preview mode the slideshow is not exactly in the same place.
How come? Am I doing somthing wrong?
thanks for response

Welcome to the medium that is the web. Every browser has it's own text layout engine and "web-safe" fonts are a misnomer. You cannot rely on text line breaking the same in different browsers. Thus creating text frames that snuggly fit the text within is likely to result in what's occurring on your site in some browsers or browser versions.
As a general rule, you should attempt to use Web Fonts whenever you can. Use "Web Safe" fonts as a second choice. And only use System fonts as a last resort and only for small amounts of text (since they become an image when output).
If you want a specific portion of text to absolutely never go to two lines, you'll want to put it in a text frame that significantly wider than the text so when the line length varies the text doesn't wrap to a new line.
"Web Safe" fonts are not a single font but actually a list/stack of fonts where the browser goes through the list until it finds a font that's available on the current viewer's device. The fonts in the list/stack are similar in visual appearance and font metrics, but any difference in font metrics is sufficient to result in changes in line breaks, so when using web safe fonts you need to account for much larger variations in line length and line breaking than will occur when using a Web Font.

Different display page layout in Display Layout mode and in Preview mode

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me to understand why it is different display page layout in
Display Layout mode:
I have 2 collumns
and in Preview mode:
I have only one column
is there some option that I didn"t check in layout page properties?

The only thing you can try, is to have a defined number of lines, where the last line only consists of a few words. That may(!) give enough room for different browser rendering. But there is definitely no guarantee.
You may as well force the text frame to be converted to an image (Place one single character – point, space – out of a system font. This will force Muse to convert the text into an image – thus preventing txt reflow)

Exported swf formatting differs from preview mode

When I view a model in preview mode, everything looks fine with the formatting. However, after exporting the file (or viewing the export preview), some of the formatting is incorrect - such as axes labels and titles being truncated or moved from their original position, as well as grid sizes changing so that what I have aligned no longer is aligned.
I can make formatting adjustments in the model so that it appears more properly in the exported swf file, basically correcting for these differences. However, this is obviously not ideal, and I have not been able to identify any patterns in these discrepancies (sometimes it looks fine, other time not). I appreciate any suggestions!

Hi,
I am facing the same issue too. The whole formatting goes off once exported to ppt. The fonts reduce to such an extent that I cannot see the fonts. If I drag the swf component to full screen in ppt, the labels, come over the axes.
Please let me know how to correct it.

Font in SWF file different once inserted and previewed in Captivate 5

I have inserted a SWF File as an animation into my captivate 5 movie. When I view the SWF file independently, thus, outside of Captivate, the font looks exactly as it should: in Arial. However, once I have inserted the SWF file into Captivate and preview the Animation, the font changes to something which looks like Times New Roman.
A colleague tested the file on her computer also and experienced the same issue.
Does anyone have an idea what could solve this? Does a setting need to be changed in Flash or in Captivate?
Thank you so much!!

OK. Changing to a different font to test is a good strategy. Stick with a standard Windows font, e.g. Verdana.

Preview mode fall apart when viewed on different workstation

Has anyone had this problem: a page's DPS funtion works fine when viewed in the overlay creator's preview mode on one mac and not at all on another. They are authored from the same version of InDesign CS5.5 using two different computers.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

You’re going to need to be more specific.

Table Values in Preview Mode are Different Than in Development Mode

Any idea why the values in a table row would be different in Preview mode than in development mode? They are only different in 1 row. The values in this row refer to values in another part of the spreadsheet that are generated by formulas. They apprear fine in Xcelsius but change in the SWF.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for sending the files to me. Our QA testers noted that one problem with the spreadsheets is that the Chart is linked to cells in your spreadsheet that are protected. This will prohibit the Chart from accessing the data in those cells. Can you send me the files again, but with all cells unprotected?

Non websafe fonts appear low resolution in preview mode and in browser

I have a problem when using font that are not web safe, no matter which non webfont I use it appears low res and looks awful in preview mode, ex in the browser. I understand that font that are not supported are converted to images instad of text but why does that make them low res? Does the browser use have any affect on how it appears? I am currently using safari.
This is how the text appears: (Avenir is a non web safe font and Arial and Helvetica are web safe)

Hi Johan,
While exporting the images from photoshop, try to add 1% transparency and save them as pngs to prevent Muse from compressing those images. Let me know if that makes a difference.

Elements in Design Mode and Preview Mode are Different

I've encountered an irritating problem in Muse. The elements arranged in design mode are shifting erratically in preview mode. I'm trying to set up "buy" links for my client's CDs using amazon, cdbaby, itunes icons. The buy buttons are place below the audio player widget from MuseGrid. Right now they are just pics - no hyperlinks attributed. If anyone has advice, I'd be grateful as this problem is driving me nuts and costing me hours!!! I am using the

Encore chapter markers off / different when playing DVD and when watching in Preview mode

I'm using CS6 and Encore version 6.0.0
I have a 120 min project with about 17 chapter markers. The markers were set to a older version of the project and then I extended the project by about 5 min and did a Replace Asset in the timeline. I adjusted the markers in the timeline. When I view the project in the Preview mode the chapters markers start at the right place but then I burn to DVD and they are off by about a minute.
I've tried deleting the cache and buring again but it's still off.
I think doing the Replace Asset messed things up but when it plays fine in Preview but not on the DVD something is really wrong.
Thanks

Update: I removed everything from the timeline and started over and entered the chapter markers. They are still off and now it's worse.
I have 21 chapters. 6-10 are off the rest are ok. I am burning to a dual layer DVD but I don't think that would be the reason.
Lastly, the DVD player skips over the final chapter it goes from 20 to the begining of the movie skipping Chapter 21.
What the heck?!

Text Field location differs on design view and preview mode

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Desginer ES. I am updating forms currently created in Livecycle 6 and 7. I am noticing the text fields are lower on the preview mode than where I have placed them on the design mode. In design mode, they are perfectly in line with the other text. When going to preview they are off anywhere from a couple centimeters to a couple inches. I have started over with new forms and had this same problem.
This issue mostly occurs when I have a text box with a large amount of text and I place text fields over the text boxes. Has anyone had this issue also? If so, is there a solution? This issue never happened in 6 or 7, I am only seeing this issue in the ES version.
Any help would be appreciated. (I am willing to recreate the forms, but that has the same issue also.)

In version 7 there were updates made to the text engine. There were situations where things did not align correctly. To solve this there was an option added to allow you to revert back to the old engine. To do this go into the File/Form Properties/Compatibility then click on the button for the Revert Text Formatting and try your form again.
Note that at some point in time you should update your form to use the new engine and stop using the version 6 of Reader/Acrobat.
Hope that helps
