Duplicated/blurred/overlapping fonted text in web view

We are experiencing an annoying issue with fonted text in web view frames. See the screenshot below:
Look closely at the headline and you'll notice that it seems to be duplicated on top of itself, as if there are two identical headlines on top of each other, a couple of pixels apart. This happening on ALL our HTML text story pages based on this template.
The page is HTML supported by local web fonts, an extremely basic CSS and a jQuery to handle the zoom function (the blue buttons at the top). The idea is that readers of our DPS folio tap on a button on a page to reveal a state in an MSO that contains a web view frame showing the full text version of a story.
The annoying thing is that the HTML looks absolutely fine in Safari and Chrome on my computer, nor in the desktop Content Viewer: the problem only arises in Safari and Chrome (and therefore DPS too) on the iPad 2 and 3.
Has anyone here experienced the same issue? Did you manage to solve it?

Yes, I'm previewing as a raster folio - no zooming allowed. What made it curious is that when I put the same web files online and viewed them using the standard Safari browser and the Chrome browser on my iPad, I was seeing the same problem. So it seems to be an issue not directly related to DPS.
However, I think I've solved it, thanks to your prompting to keep returning to how the fonts are being addressed. I added the following lines to the <style type="text/css"> section of my HTML header:
h1
font-family: Headline;
font-weight: normal;
I'm not sure why this did the trick: the 'Headline' style for the <h1> tag is already described and associated in the CSS and (I thought) referred to appropriately higher up in the HTML header, but there you go. Perhaps it needed a reminder, I dunno. The other styles didn't need this. I'm such a coding dimbo I haven't the faintest idea what's going on.
Thanks for directing me to the right places!

Overlap of texts in web page when texts are enlarged

When I display a webpage with texts in boxes, and I press Command + to increase the display size of the texts, usually the surrounding box also expands or adjusts to accommodation the larger texts. But when I press Command + again, then the texts from adjacent boxes start to overlap.
A similar thing also happens with Firefox, except that I can press Command + a few more times before the texts start to overlap.
Is there any preference in Safari that I can adjust to delay the overlapping of texts?

Try
http://au.yahoo.com/
In Safari, as soon as I press Command + twice, then the texts in the top right corner about Mail and Weather start to overlap.
But in Firefox, even after I press Command + 8 times to zoom to the maximum, everything stays in proportion without any overlap of texts.

Overlapping fields in java web viewer

We are having an issue with SAP Crystal Report, version for Eclipse(java run time). We are using 12.2.217 of the java run time.
We are having an issue with data from one field overlapping the data from another field in the report viewer. These are reports that we have used for a
while and viewing them in a windows activeX viewer without having this issue. In the activeX viewer the fields are truncated. The designer also truncates the
fields. We are using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.2.0.290 designer.
I have seen suggestions involving the Can Grow option. We were not happy with either the 0 or 1 line options. The 0 option for unlimited can make the reports much longer. The 1 line option truncates on whole words so you can lose a lot more this way. We would prefer truncation of the field like the other viewers handle it.
We had a change to the Style.css file that worked great on the fields, but had some undesirable side effects. Like sub reports and sort controls disappeared. It seems the field css tag is generated at run time, thus not able to address them specifically in the css file.
div
overflow:hidden;
I have attached a couple examples. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I guess we're not on the same page.
I don't know how a java program running in a browser as an applet, can
access fields in the HTML page that the browser is displaying.
Could you explain how you are able to do this please?
Where/how is the java code being executed that it can communicate with a browser and insert data in an HTML field on a page the the browser is displaying?
Or is your java code running on a server and outputting HTML text that is being returned to a client's browser?
In which case, your question is more about how to do it in HTML . Once you have the correct HTML syntax then its simple to have a program write the needed HTML.

Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

Web Dynpro Enhancement : Rename text of the View Elements

Hello All,
I want to enhance standard web Dynpro component. I need to rename text of some of view element.Ex.- label. I searched on SDN but I can able to find only following two things.
1. We can able to remove the view element in enhancement implementation.
2. We can add Post/Pre methods to the view methods.
But I am not able to find the "How to rename the text of the view element?"
Ex.: I have one label. Text for that label before enchantment is 'ABC' . when enhancement implementation is active, it should be 'PQR'.
Any pointers?
Thanks in Advance,
Prashant Jagdale

If you just need to rename the text of labels then you don't need the enhancement framework for that. Using either adminstrative personalization or component configuration you can override the SAP delivered label text with your own without changing the underlying Web Dynpro component.

Borders in Matrix with Group Report Missing in Web view

Please help.
I have a matrix with group report. When it is viewed in Report Builder live preview is fine, but when I preview in web I got two problem
Problem 1 - preview as HTML
No borders? all my cell borders, frame borders gone missing.
Problem 2 - preview as HTML CSS
The borders are there, but some data in the matrix report displayed wrongly.
For example, the data is "01 APR 2000 1800 - 20 APR 2000 2000", what is showing in the web view is actually
"01"
"APR"
2000
1800
i.e., is broken down into few lines.
Can anyone please help. Btw I am using Oracle Report 6i.
Thanks.
Joshua

For Simple HTML output, you can only get horizontal lines out of Reports. You will lose all vertical lines as well as other graphical objects (eg: polygons, polylines, etc.) This is because these objects are not supported natively within HTML.
However, for HTMLCSS, you should be able to get a lot closer since rectangles are supported. Though again; polygons, polylines, etc. are not supported.
Not sure what is happening to your text, possibly an issue with browser settings or you may need to reduce the font size in Reports to get what you want.
As has already been suggested, for better WYSIWYG output for the web from Reports, PDF is the way to go.

Fonts in the WEB FONTS GROUP: Are those the only *safe* fonts?

I notice that iWeb allows me to choose from a variety of fonts. There are some that I like (Zapfino and Optima) but they are not in the category labeled WEB FONTS. I always believed that if you do not choose a WEB font, then your viewer may not see the font in the style that you choose because it may not be resident in that viewer's browser.
SO, QUESTION:
If I choose Zapfino or Optima, which are NOT in the WEB fonts group, do I run a risk that my viewers will possibly not see the text in Zapfino or Optima?
If I choose fonts from the WEB fonts group, can I be assured that this is what a viewer will see?

Most template pages already have a box to enter text
into OK
If you type in that no problems - but as soon as you
change one word in that big text box to a non-web
friendly font the entire text is converted to an
image.
So type all the text in the text box with a
web-friendly font - then when you come to the non-web
friendly font part click on the T (ext) button in the
toolbar at the bottom in iWeb and it will create a
new text box on the screen.
Type your non-web friendly font text in this box.
Then when you publish the big text box will be text,
but the non-web friendly font text box will be
converted to an image meaning your site guests get to
see the site text as you intended and your site isn't
slowed down by loading a big image of text which
isn't required
hope that's clearer
cheers
Jason
Hmm. OK. I'm printing this out or I'll never remember how to do it. Thank you for explaining this, Jason.

Font text sizing bug

I keep changing the font text size, and publish into folder

Is this a known bug?
anyway to workaround it?
does anyone have a full list of known bug that I can be aware of?

What you see locally with Safari is what you'll see on line with Safari. Same with IE. What version of IE are you using? The old and unsupported Mac version. It's worthless as support for it was dropped over 5 years ago.
Go get a web site to display correctly in IE requires considerable changes. See the following links for tips by Roddy on making an iWeb site compatible with IE:

Apex 4.1 different font text in Reports Region and Interactive reporting

Hi everybody,
In my APEX 4.1 page, I have two regions using the same ''Reports region" Template but font text are different. Why The first region is an interactive reporting. The second it's a report. I know that each one has his own data for sure but the same region template .Spaces between colons are different. Is it normal ? I want to have the same font text for the two regions.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Legacy themes are flagged with a "*" in the theme gallery. Standards mode themes are not. (I don't have access to APEX 4.1 at present to be able to identify specific themes.)
Properties of interactive report components, is it possible to take a look on this properties or it's a "black box" ?
You can either look in the global APEX style sheet, or (probably more usefully) use a browser web inspector to examine the CSS properties of the IR components in the page.

Acrobat Pro 10 Actions Not Applying Fast Web View

Acrobat Pro 10 actions are pretty useful overall, however they are not applying Fast Web View all the time. In my opinion, all PDFs generated today should be Fast Web View by default, but among the many applications which allow for PDF creation, not all apply Fast Web View for some reason.
I did see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3335827for a potential band-aid fix. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.
Here is the text from my Action sequence file:
<</Commands [/c << /0 [/c << /Config [/c <<   /UIPolicy [/i 3]

/HandlerName [/a /FlattenOCGs]
/Params [/c <<>>]

/OptimizePDF [/b true]
/PresetName [/t (test2)]
/RunPDFOptimizer [/b true]
>>]
>>
As you can see, the "/OptimizePDF [/b true]" is set per the instructions in the aforementioned link. It still does not set Fast Web View all the time. I ran a test of the action on a batch of 10 PDFs, some were set to Fast Web View and some were not. While one of the PDFs that was not set to Fast Web View was open in Acrobat, I ran the same Action again and it did apply Fast Web View! I even installed the latest patch hoping that would fix it, but unfortunately it did not. Distiller does in fact set Fast Web View, but it won't work on PDFs. The only way I can find to guarantee the establishment of Fast Web View is to manually do a Save As on every file which I think is asking a bit much when you deal with hundreds of PDFs on any given day. Also that would effectively defeat the purpose of running an Action on hundreds of PDFs in the first place.
Any ideas?

There is a bug because of which fast web view is always disabled. While that is fixed, here the workaround. Save the action and open the .sequ file in Notepad. Change:
                /OptimizePDF [/b false]
to
                /OptimizePDF [/b true]

Font Selection in Keyboard Viewer

In previous versions of the OS the Keyboard Viewer let me choose what font I wanted to view. Now all I see are "Standard" and a few odd fonts. Am I missing some preference setting that will allow me to view ANY font? I have, for instance, Koch Signs which I can't view at all any more.

Tom Gewecke wrote:
for most special characters you must use the Character Palette and not the keyboard for input. The Favorites section of that is designed to provide easier access to special characters that are frequently used. Or a custom keyboard layout can sometimes easily be created to include characters you need all the time.
If you tell us exactly which ones you need, we can probably tell you whether and how a keyboard combo can be used.
In my workflow, the special characters I need to use generally do have a keyboard combination to activate them -- my frustration is over the seemingly increasing hassle it requires to see what that key combination is. And the difficulty with setting "Favorites" is that there aren't really any specific ones I frequently need on a regular basis.
Here's a typical example: I was recently using the Hoefler Text font to generate captions and special titles for some montages I was creating in Photoshop. Hoefler has an "Ornaments" style, which had some decorative glyphs I wanted to use to bookend some of the text entries. Using Font Book (with Preview set to Repertoire) I could easily see all the available glyphs in that Ornaments style, at whatever size I wanted to view them.
So far so good. And each of these characters had its own keyboard combination. The trouble is, Font Book (unless I'm missing something) won't tell me what that keyboard combination is for any given character. And Keyboard Viewer now won't let me select the font and at least see to which keys (and with which modifiers) all of the characters for that font have been mapped. (In fact, Keyboard Viewer should automatically open with whatever font you're currently using already selected.)
So I end up having to run my finger along every key in every row, and then do the same with Shift, Option, and Shift-Option held down, just to figure out which key combo generates the little left-facing squiggly thing in this particular font.
With Character Palette (which I've re-discovered thanks to this and other threads), I can at least use the Insert option to pop a selected character into whatever file I was working on -- but how do I first try out a special "string" of these characters to see how they'll look together? I seem to recall the old Key Caps utility would let you do that.
I guess my main point is that all of these kinds of functions and options need to be integrated into Font Book in an easy-to-use way.
PS The best place to tell Apple how you feel about this issue is here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Believe me, I have. For many, many apps. Many, many times.
I sometimes wonder how seriously the Feedback is actually monitored, however, since very often the options offered in the questions you need to fill out (what version of the app are you currently using; which version of the OS; etc.) are several months out of date. One can only hope that even though the pages themselves are not being actively maintained, at least some of the user input sent via those pages does get looked at.
(And while Apple would never say this publicly, IMHO if they're smart they've also got a staff of people whose only job is to monitor the Apple Discussions Forums, and track what's working and what's causing frustrations in the OS, its hardware, and all of the apps.)
In any case, thanks Tom for the reply and the offer of assistance.

Exporting a slideshow for web viewing

Before recently switching to an Apple + Aperture, I was using Google's Picasa on a PC, which very easily allowed me to upload my pics which could then be viewed on the web as a slideshow. To date I have not found how to do this easily out of Aperture to my .mac account... and I'd be dumbfounded if such a basic feature is not available.
Can anyone reassure me that I don't have to go back to Picasa for this simple feature?
Thanks,

Actually you have more than the Quiktime option for exporting...
QuickTime is the technology that drives all multimedia on your Mac. Regardless of whateever format you choose to export from iPhoto it will always be a QuickTime file.
Distortion in this case means over-driven...i.e. clipping.
Try this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Problems with diacritics/accents and paging in web viewer

There seem to be some problems in displaying diacritics/accents in the web viewer (CR4E 2 update 4).
On viewing a multi-page report containing accents, when the report is paged forwards/backwards the accented characters are corrupted. This is easily reproduced by creating a report which contains nothing apart from text including accented characters.
The characters render correctly when exported to pdf.
Has anyone else had issues with accented characters?

Optimize The PDF For Fast Web View

Am wondering: is there any difference in quality when "Optimize The PDF For Fast Web View" is UNtagged?
I know the files may be bigger when this option is untagged, but that aside.
If, in day to day use, there is hardly/or no visible quality difference what is the use of this option?

Thanks a lot, I will leave that option tagged in future.

You might wonder why PDF to PDF.
