Does Yosemite Mail fix the Outlook font display issue?

Does Yosemite Mail fix the Outlook font display issue?

This problem has been going on for years and seems to be related to converting pixels to points, or points to pies between operating systems such as Apple / Microsoft. See The age-old outgoing mail font problem
Its a complete pain and beyond me why something SO simple as having the text display correctly between operating systems has not been fixed, especially in this era of technology. Apple should really focus on this and I am amazed that after waiting 4 years since the release of Microsoft Outlook 2011 for the new Microsoft Outlook 2015 that Microsoft have also not fixed this. Its just beyond comprehension and effects both the reputation of people sending emails using these platforms and those organisations that produce the software, and chose to ignore the problem without fixing it. The industry leaders should do just that and lead the way by fixing this basic problem, not burying their heads in the sand and hoping goes away.
Recently I have had to resort to typing the required email text in something like the TextEdit app, copying and pasting it into the Outlook mail body. Its not great, adding extra steps for every email sent and I use my Mac for business so there are many daily email being generated. At least doing it this way all the text is consistent when sent although I'm sure there could be a workflow generated in Automator or an AppleScript that would reduce the steps.

  • Does anyone know what the default font is for MacMail?

    Does anyone know what the default font is for the Mail program? My son changed my mail font and I want to change it back, but I can't remember what the original default is! Anyone? Thanks!

    I rarely use Mail (normally use Gmail in Safari) so I am 99.99% sure mine is still at the default. It is Helvetica 12.

    All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue.
    I have 3 Gmail, 1 hotmail and a yahoo. Al go off line with a little alert symbol next to them.
    If I select take all accounts on line nothing happens.
    Email delivery stops.
    To fix this, I quit Mail and re launch it. That fixes it.
    It's realy annoying.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem - it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.8
    I thought subsequent releases may help, but I'm now on 10.8.2 and no joy.

  • Font display issues

    Upgraded to Lion on an iMac, now I have strange font display issues across applications and in browsers and specifically with numbers, somethimes letters.

    Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Problem with the way fonts display in Internet Explorer

    Howdy. I built a site about a week ago (first crack at this). It has quite a bit of content but seemed to be fine on Safari, Netscape and Firefox. I checked it out at work on a PC with Internet Explorer 6 and there were typography problems. I intentionally used simple web fonts (all Arial) to hopefully minimize this sort of thing. I used a 70% tint of Black for the font color on all the fonts. On Explorer the fonts display fine on pages 1, 2, 3, and 4. On page 5 the type appears blurry, really greyed and spread. I can't figure out why (same fonts and styles).
    As an experiment I tried posting just a couple of pages with the type at 100% black. The really bad pages weren't so bad (but not nearly as good as on the other browsers.) The site is rballister.com. If you click on any of the links (picture boxes) on the "print & mail index" pages you will see the problem with the type. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    Because I thought it would be a nice effect, I decided to use the slider in the color pallette and change to color of the type from 100% black to 70% black (which is to to say a shade of gray). I'm referring to text that I keyboarded into iWeb. As previously mentioned, the gray type worked just fine on most browsers but caused problems in Internet Explorer (in a seemingly random way. Still can't figure out the reason). When I changed the type to black on a white background (black and white), the problem wasn't as bad as it was in Explorer, but still not nearly as good as in the other browsers.

  • JRE does not pick up the existing font installed in the OS

    Hi,
    I am developing an application that required to display UTF-8 string in different language, eg. Japanese, Chinese,..., and having some problems with using font
    to display those strings.
    I. Problem:
    For some reasons, the JRE does not pick up the fonts in either jre/lib/fonts or OS's fonts folder (Windows\Fonts) to use to handle these strings. This results in square boxes displayed.
    II. Temporary solutions found:
    I searched and found the following solutions
    1. Put the font in the fallback folder under jre/lib/fonts
    However, this requires to bundle the application with the fonts, it has some problems
    * Bundles all possible fonts significantly increase the size of the JRE
    * It is a waste if the OS already has the font (as in my case Arial Unicode MS font already installed). 2. Modify the font.properties file *<- which is not recommended.*
    III. Questions:
    1. So I am wondering if anyone knows other solutions to this problem?
    2. I came across some sites that says JRE will pick up the font correctly for a language if the OS is localized on that language. Is it true since I could not yet find that statement on sun website?
    Any help or advices are greatly appreciated.

  • Send reminder mails to the outlook

    Hi everyone,
    I have a scenario where i have a modeled deadline branch where if the deadline is missed i am sending recursive mails to the recipients using Rule in an activity .
    In the Rule i am using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending mails . I need to send mails 3 times for every 5 mins . for that i have created a requested start deadline with time as 5 min .
    and a workflow element status with initial value as 0 . and  in the same branch i have used a container operation step where i am incrementing my status value by 1.
    and loop until condition is set to &status& = 3.
    i am receiving the reminder mail only once in my outlook and the status is set to 1.
    it is not getting incremented again . and hence no second reminder mails are coming in my outlook.
    Can any one please help .?
    Thanks !!

    I need to send mails 3 times for every 5 mins . for that
    i have created a requested start deadline with time as 5 min .
    I assume you have desigened the workflow template as below.
    1. A dialog step where the workitem will be sent for apprval.
    2. For the above dialog step you have defined both Requested start and Latest end of Modelled Deadline .
    3. In the newly generated branch you have inserted a loop and inside a loop you have defined a step to send mails. End condition for the loop is COUNT = 3.
    IF the case is like above then you modify the workflow design as below.
    1. Instead of inserting a loop in the deadline brach , you define it outside the deadline branch.
    2. Both Dialog workitem and deadline brach and its step must be included inside one loop.
    3. Now for the whole loop you deifine a condition in a such a way that the workitem should not miss the deadline and it should be in the completed status then only you will end the whole loop other wise you keep on looping it .
    I hope if you remodify the workflow as above i hope it works...

  • The window displaying bookmarks is too large (suddenly happened with the new version). I can't figure out how to make the display smaller. Zooming out does not work on the bookmark menu display.

    I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
    The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
    Thanks, Sara

    It seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
    Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog.

  • Easy steps to troubleshoot the Outlook Email sync issue

    One question about Outlook that has been asked the most is, why some emails don’t sync in Outlook? Or there should be an email received but why I can’t see it in Outlook?
    On this topic, we’ve seen a lot of articles on Microsoft and some other 3rd-party web sites, usually the explanation and the troubleshooting steps are so long that we don’t know where to start. I’m writing this article to make something easier. Not an encyclopaedia
    about Outlook sync issues, just a few things we can take a look at before something really “difficult”.
    For Exchange Accounts to troubleshoot, of course, this Microsoft Knowledge Base is helpful:
    How to troubleshoot synchronization problems when you synchronize your Exchange Server mailbox with your .ost file in Outlook
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842284/en-us
    Here below I will introduce some common causes of the Emails not sync issues in Outlook, steps are based on Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, which are widely used nowadays.
    View
    Here comes a user, who says “why don’t some emails appear in my Outlook?” Generally we think it may be caused since the sync process is not complete, but consider this scenario: The “missing” email has been received but the user just can’t see it, is
    this possible? Yes, this is possibly caused by the custom view.
    First please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, to see whether the “missing” emails exist there, if yes, then let’s do the following:
    Go to the folder where the emails should be displayed, switch to VIEW tab ->
    Current View Group -> Click Reset View button. When it prompts to confirm, click
    Yes.
    The emails magically appear! Why? That’s because you have set a custom view in this folder, such as a Filter in View Settings to let Outlook only show these emails that meet the criteria you have set. Once you click
    Reset View, the View will reset and the Filter is wiped out. The emails can be displayed again.
    One common symptom of this cause, is that you see a number beside the folder which indicates you have something unread, while you can’t find the unread items. Probably you have a custom view in Outlook that only allows the read items to show.
    Another way to reset the View is to run Outlook with the command switch “/cleanviews”, which will restore default view and all custom views you created will be lost:
    Press Win key + R, in the Run box, type “outlook.exe /cleanviews”, click
    OK or press Enter.
    Sync Filter
    “Well, I can see the recent emails of the account in Outlook, but emails older than 3 months don’t show in Outlook, I can see these emails on Web, why?” It’s time to consider the Sync Filter.
    Outlook has a feature that allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your .OST. The purpose of this feature is to make Outlook usable on devices that have limited or small amounts of local storage. This feature is called Sync
    Filter. You can access the sync filter within your E-mail Server Settings under Account Settings.
    We can choose the periods of emails we want to keep offline. Switch to
    All to keep all emails to local so that they are not “missing”.
    (Not all kinds of accounts can use this feature in all versions of Outlook, such as Exchanges Accounts don’t have Sync Filter in Outlook 2010)
    Send/Receive Groups
    I can sync all folders but emails in one folder don’t sync properly, how does this happen? Please check the Send/Receive Settings.
    Go to SEND / RECEIVE tab -> Send & Receive Group ->
    Define Send/Receive Groups. We can configure the setting for send/receive here:
    Highlight All Accounts, click Edit button, in the new dialog window, check if you have select the correct folder options as you need, you may have not selected the folder which emails are not received. Check the box and
    click OK to save, it should be working fine then.
    Summary
    When we talk about “sync”, we are talking about account types like Exchange, IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync. POP accounts don’t sync, they do a “download” instead, so it’s not talked about (However, some steps are applicable, like
    VIEW).
    As mentioned above, this article just discusses the easy things we should look at before the deeper analysis, if you have tried all these suggestions but still have the sync problem, feel free to post the question in our forum:

    Not really. BIS service is not designed to reconcile to the Outlook on your PC as your former BES service did, or there would be no reason for BES, right?
    The (dirty) workaround is to created rules in your Outlook and filters on your BIS account login whereby you BCC yourself all the sent-from-handheld mail which arrives in Outlook and by rule is moved to your sent folder.
    Then, on the BIS account login site, you create a filter to not foward any message to your device which are addressed as beig from your own email address.
    Likewise, any email sent from Outlook must be copied to yourself to receive on the BlackBerry device, however it won't end up in your sent items.

  • [SOLVED] xelatex weird font display issue

    Hello all
    I was playing around with fonts on my system today, and noticed that, all of a sudden, the fonts were being garbled by xelatex whenever I compiled a document. Backtracking to what I'd done, it turns out that xelatex will get confused by multiple occurrences of the same font in a fc-cache path (for want of a better term). Earlier on this afternoon, I'd recently followed a guide in the wiki (or thereabouts) to make some TeX fonts available to fc-cache. However, xelatex looks in the system font path when it loads them, and appears to discover two or more versions of the same font, and doesn't know which to substitute. Hence the output text gets a whole lot of characters messed up.
    The solution is simple: remove the LaTeX fonts from the system search path. In my case, I'd symlinked `/etc/fonts/conf.avail/09-texlive-fonts.conf` to `/etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf` (as you do to enable fontconfig rules), and run fc-cache to update them. Removing this link and updating the cache fixes the issue, after recompiling the affected documents.
    Does anyone think I should edit the wiki to point this out for future reference? It had me confused for a bit (right when I need to compose a job application due Monday), and Google didn't say anything. It might be useful for other tinkerers.
    Douglas Adams wrote:A learning experience is something that tells you, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
    Appropriate? Perhaps.

    I've had similar problems with XeLaTeX in the past. I hope they figure out a way to fix it.
    I think perhaps the wiki should be edited to give a warning that this might happen, and maybe water down the suggestion for making TeX fonts available and/or suggest alternatives.
    Personally, I quickly regretted the decision to make all the TeX fonts available to fontconfig, merely because the huge number of them (at least for a full TeXlive install) made using any font selection dialogue overwhelming. I've switched to fc-caching them manually if and when I need them.

  • Does CS5.5 fix DD5.1 dynamic link issue?

    With CS4 if you wanted to move from Pr Pro to Encore with a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track and a video track, you had to export, encode, etc. the audio and video separately and then re-marry them in Encore.  So you could not just use dynamic link to move to Encore as the 5.1 would not encode correctly. And of course any changes required you to go back and start over.
    Does 5.5 fix this longstanding issue?  I can't believe that the bug has lasted this long....
    And yes, I (and others) have reported it many times at the appropiate Adobe site.
    It seems like if Adobe promotes the DD5.1 capability and the dynamic link capability they should work together.  This would really enhance the workflow if they did.
    Thanks,
    BJBBJB1

    Jim,
    Technically, you may be right....Good point.
    However years ago back when I started using Pr Pro, let's just say their marketing material did not make that very clear.  They touted something like 5.1 "capability" or something like that, along with the dynamic link capability.  It sure sounded good till I tried and read the REAL small print! I guess they don't say anywhere those 2 features will work together, this is true.  Just as it is not clear that to get 5.1 you must buy a plug-in in addition to the software!
    But I am pretty sure they still talk about DD 5.1 in their marketing.  And sending out all those e-mails about Avatar being edited in Pre Pro...I am sure most readers did not assume it was done in Dolby Stereo.
    Anyway, whether a bug or not, that feature/bug fix should be made someday as DD 5.1 is almost assumed these days.  Why would they not support the link capability with it?  If Surcode went away I don't think Pr Pro/the suite would sell without some capability to encode DD 5.1.
