Display Greek font in design view

Hi, i have recently reinstalled DreamweaverMX on my Mac.
The mac is running OSX 10.4.6 and some things are different
now after the installment of DMW
I am struggeling with the greek font.
In my previously made sites I had no problem with displaying
the font in either code view or design view.
Now, opening the previously made files, they do not display
the Greek. neither in code view or designview. i get capitals with
dots on the top.. recognise that?
Does anybody know how to get this done properly for once and
for all?
Unicode and UTF8 ? everywhere.. preferences 'fonts' and 'new
document'
Central European?
I have been trying some stuff but it didn't work out.
Maybe I need to Quit and restart Dreamweaver? I thought that
wasn't necessary.
With the mac I can change from english to greek with a
keyoption. So that's not really the problem.
Hope someone can be of help!
Best,
Miki

Miki
you may have noticed I have the same problem - see FTAO Micha
and another
from me.
Micha has pointed me towards using UTF-8 but I still have a
problem (short
of redoing template I think but still need more
investigation).
What I am doing at the moment is typing in design view
although this is far
from satisfactory as it is bloated code and produces eg
Ε
see www.leroscafedelmar.com/food.html
I will sort this out within the next few days as I cannot
continue doing it
this way.
So this is really just a sympathy post (o:

Site not displaying correctly in DW Design View

This is a weird display problem on one of my sites that I
have not seen before.
I sometimes log into my server remotely and make changes to
the html manually then resave the files. Later I may download the
newly edited files and put them in my backup site folder on my
local machine.
On one particular site, everything looks fine online from my
server, but when looking at the files locally in DW Design view
everything is out of whack. The images are all over the place and
the backgrounds are completely missing. If I preview the it still
looks normal and all the images are in the correct place and
backgrounds are fine. Only displays wrong in DW Design View which
makes it impossible to use the WYSIWYG to edit this site now.
Anyone encountered anything like this?

You are editing the files directly on the server, and not
from a local site?
And which DW are you using?

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?
--Paul

Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
Thanks again.

OpenType fonts in Design View.

Hi
just wondering if I should be able to see OpenType font's in
the text selection dialog box in the CSS design view in Flex
Builder 3?

I am having THE SAME PROBLEM. It's making design nearly impossible. Has anyone a solution to this? I want to see Myriad Pro and not Times New Roman or Georgia in my design mode in Flex 3. After compiling, I can see the embedded font read from my css, but i still only see a default font while in design mode in flex.

Third Party Template displays very messy in design view

Hi everyone,
So i'm fairly new to dreamweaver. Whenever I've used it, there's already been a template/site set up and I've only made small changes. Recently i've been asked to overhaul a website in need of a fresher look. The client wants to use the following site template: http://html5up.net/minimaxing/
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I could make it so that dreamweaver displays the design view in a more user friendly way? The template works fine when I preview it in the browser, and when I make changes to the code... just the design view isn't agreeing with it.
Any recommendations you have are appreciated!
ps. Using Dreamweaver CS 5.5 on Windows 7.

Ok, so I deleted the site I had defined and re-added. Still having the same problems.

Preview and Generate view not displaying the same as design view

RoboHelp HTML Ver 8.0.2.208.
Hi all,
I have a topic that will not generate or preview what is displayed in the design view.
The topic is a table that uses a different image as the background for each cell (from the CSS).
The background images display fine in design view but will not display when previewed or generated. Everything else is displayed but not the backgrounds.
Any ideas.
Thanks
Wowronin

You have this -
</head>
<script>

</script>
<style type="text/css">
#preloader {
     position: absolute;
     top: 0;
     left: 0;
     right: 0;
     bottom: 0;
     background-color: #fefefe;
     z-index: 99;
    height: 100%;
#status {
     width: 200px;
     height: 200px;
     position: absolute;
     left: 50%;
     top: 50%;
     background-image: url(ajax-loader.gif);
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     background-position: center;
     margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
</style>
<body>
In other words, you have a script block AND a CSS block between </head> and <body>. That's invalid code. Move it to where it belongs inside the <head> region. You could have found this in an instant by checking the page here - http://validator.w3.org.

Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

I only see the following error messages when I enter design
view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
transcoding
Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
file.)
These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
running the Flex app.)
I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
@font-face{
src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
fontStyle: regular;
I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
Anyone have an issue like this before?

I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
from scratch this time, sorry.
The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
(now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
than just a developer.

Font display in design view is wrong / browser displays it correctly

The links I place on my webstie pages display with the wrong (too large) font in design view but when the page is viewed in a browser, the links are displayed correctly. I have CSS entries in place that control link behavior and display and they work just fine in a browser but in design view, the link displays as a larger font than it should. I make all of the links bold. If I put a "class= " specification inside the <a> tag, then the size is right but if I then make the text bold, the size is once again displayed too large. If the text is not inside the <a> tag and it it's part of <p class="..." and I make it bold, it displays as bold and as specified by the class..
In other words
<p class="class1">text1
<strong><a href="reference">text2</a></strong>
</p
Tthe size of text2 is always too large in display mode but is correctly displayed in a browser.
Any ideas?
B. Berkov

Good point ... I inherited the code and CSS and changed a couple of 10pt to 12px so changing the CSS for links to 12px instead of 10pt will probably fix it. Still, I would have thought that design view would match what's seen in the browser regardless.
Thanks,
B. Berkov

DW CS5 - what determines the font specs for design view (without Live View on)?

Says it all above. The non-Live View font I get bears no relationship to the font spec'd (and displayed) for the page in Live View. I assume I have a preference set wrong but can't find it.Help appreciated. - Jim

You won't see any custom web fonts in Design View, if that's what you mean. Design View is not and never has been 100% reliable because it is not a browser. At best Design View is an approximation of what you can expect to see in some browsers.

In design view, how to change the white panel background so white text displays? (I keep having to go to Live view to see it)

When I'm adding white text it doesn't show up as the background input panel is white, and I keep having to go into Live view to see the paragraph spacings etc. Is there a way round this, other than changing the text colour in CSS to, for instance, black, and then changing it back before I upload the page?

Hi, and thanks, but it's my fault, I think I'm describing it wrong!
I've attached two screenshots from that area of the screen, one with the white text on the white background (showing as invisible) and the other where I've highlighted the text so you can see where it is. The background .jpg isn't a solid colour, it's a pattern, and if I added an equivalent pattern to the text area div, it wouldn't line up properly on all sreen resolutions, so that's why I gave that div a transparent background. When I go into Live view, the page displays perfectly, but in Design view I can't see to make amendments to the paragraphs etc.

Includes no longer displaying in design view

Somehow my #includes are not showing in split or design view. Example:  This would be my header and navigation file. In the past it showed in design view right at the top of the page. Now not displaying. I know design view is not accurate and not neccessary, but really bugging me that I can't see the whole page anymore.... Side Note: my home page index file located in the root folder DOES display this info. All files located down a level do not.
These have been showing for years, now in CS5 and previously in version 8. I didn't change any settings, they just stopped showing today. The pages work properly online. I use this code snippet for a variety of objects per page. All .asp files.   I feel like something stupid accidentally got changed. Just not sure what. I have found lots online about initial set-up errors, but mine was working.
advice?

Thanks Nancy...   Here is what I found. Maybe you (or someone could shed some light on this for me).
Here is what is placed in all of my documents:

The home page that displayed properly in Dreamweaver looked like this:

Removing all but two of the dashes as the end of the code snippet fixed the problem and the Header started to disply in Design view.   I am not a programmer, and my HTML/CSS knowledge is self taught, but this code has been in place from a previous designer for years. Does it make a difference? What could have changed?   I have thousands of these pieces in my site, I guess I need to fix them all.....

Dreamweaver CS3 design view fonts

We have installed DW CS3 and users are complaining the fonts
in design view are too small and difficult to read. It appears to
be picking this up from the stylesheet used in the site. Is there a
way to change this behavior? Obviously we do not want to change the
stylesheet to make DW happy. This doesn't appear to make much
sense.

Check the Adobe technotes on how to fix this.

"Design" view as a separate panel for dual-display

I just started using CS6 and was really hoping to see a new workflow enhancement for dual-display production with the "Design" view. I code all of my markup by hand in the code view. I would love to see the "Design" view in a separate panel that I could drag over to my second display by itself. Sort of like designers using "Code Inspector" as a panel on their second display. But for me, to maximize efficiency, I need the code to be closest to all of the menu bars and panels. I just want to make a code edit, click the DW "refresh" button, and glance at the layout in a "Design" without having to do additional clicking or moving pointer from display to display, ya know? Using browsers I have to save the file(s), upload the file(s), wait for the transfer to complete, move my pointer to the second display, click the refresh button, THEN look at the layout. Ugh. Been doing this for years, and really am tired of it. I have looked through the commands and online material hoping to find an update. Is this still a pipe dream?
Thanks for any info,
- DK

Apart from using the Code Inspector, I don't believe this is possible. It sounds like a sensible suggestion, though. You can file a feature request through the form at http://adobe.ly/DWBug.

Snippets not displayed in Topic (Design View)

I have RoboHelp 7.0.2.
This "snippets" problem started a few days ago. I use the
same 2 snippets in about 100 topics. Suddenly, the snippets stopped
getting displayed in the topics (Design View). I don't see the
snippets even when I click the eye glasses icon for a preview.
However, if I switch to HTML View, the code does confirm that
the snippets are there.
This problem started happening around a few days after I
started having version control issues with RH. My project is
version controlled (Sourcesafe) so I have always checked in/out
topics for working. But nowadays, after a few hours of RH being
open, it just messes the version control part. That is, it will not
let me edit topics that I have checked out myself telling me that
the file is already checked out. And at times, it won't even check
in my files.
I thought maybe my RH install is corrupt so I just
reinstalled RH (7.0.2). However, I still cannot see the snippets.
Not sure about the version control part since I haven't kept RH
open for a long time.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
K

The issue that I am having is that when I renamed the
snippet, only two topics accepted kept the snippet and allowed it
to remain (with the new name). The other 100 topics showed that I
had a snippet (even though you couldn't see it), but in the
tooltip, showed the previous name I named the snippet. I went back
to the snippet and renamed it back to the old name - which oddly
this time, the two topics that were accepting the snippet as any
name, did not take and the snippet was there, but would not appear.
I guess this is a little glitch in the renaming snippet
function. I can't think of anything else??? Anyway, I kept the
original name (although, another odd thing is this isn't the
original - this is another one I changed it to) and removed the
snippet that wasn't appearing from the two topics and reinserted it
again. I guess it's better than reinserting it 100 times.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thanks,
Michele
