DW CS5 - font displayed in Design View/Live View is as we spec'd. Font when Live View is off is radically different. Why?

Subject line says it all. In brand new pages, the font we specify for the page is displayed correctly, regardless of whether Live View is on or off. But we have an existing site where that isn't the case - the non-Live View font is very different from what we spec'd (and what we see) when Live View is on.. Can somebody suggest where to look for a remedy? Maybe a .css file issue? Thanks. - Jim

Thanks Nancy, but those aren't the problems. Did a bit of page testing here and found that what's happening is that for a specific site, non-Live View is rendering my 'normal' font styles Bold for some reason. I'm going to see if I can resolve the problem myself, at which point I'll report back. If you have any thoughts in the interim, I'm all ears. - Jim

  • 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,

  • Font Display Quality Bad After Update

    Hello all,
    my font display is really bad since upgrading to Tiger. I have Font Smoothing Style set to automatic and have tried light and others but everything appears over-sharpened. For example, as I type this, the font has an extereme sharpening, so much so that I see highlights on the top edges of characters. Regular Verdana appears in both Safari and Firefox as bold, and bold looks black. All in all, everything looks awful. I am using an Apple Cinemascreen. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    I don't know FontExplorerX but check its compatibility with Tiger. You want to try disabling this font manager client?

  • JHS 10.1.3 Internal Server Error - Page when a view raises an exception

    I have a view with some logic (based on a table function) and created: entity object, view object and (jhs) an advanced search page. When the view raises an exception an "500 Internal Server Error"-page is showed, but I expected the error would be showed in de messages-component.
    I created a test case: a view on employees-table with in the select a function that raises an exception when last_name starts with "L". On this view an entity obejct, a view object and application module.
    I generated with JHS a page : layout: table and only advanced search.
    The first time the page is loaded (with auto query) some records are showed and the exception is showed as expected in the message-component. When I do a search (without criteria) the "500 Internal Server Error" pages is showed.
    When I create manual a search page, the behavior is as expected.
    (see below for error stack)

  • Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

    After upgrading to the newest version of DW CC 2014, I noticed that the Design View is disabled in Fluid Grid pages. You can only use the Live View to edit those pages. The Design/Live button displays on non-fluid pages.
    I'm wondering if there is a work-around to allow Design View editing on fluid pages. It is a major hassle to try to edit some things in the Live View. It would nice to have a choice.

    Have you actually tried using is? Try this?
    1) Create a new Responsive Layout. We’ll call it demo.php, fluid.css and the usual accompanying DW files.
    2) Enter demo.php and progress is normal. Everything works. You can choose to view both Live and Display and edit accordingly.
    3) Close down DW.
    4) Open DW and open demo.php
    5) There is NO LONGER a Display View option and Live View does not EDIT. (at least it doesn't for me)
    6) I can ONLY edit work in CODE view.
    Thus, on brand new files, all is fine. The moment DW is closed and the files becomes “old” it can no longer be seen or edited properly.
    How am I supposed to provide support to clients? How can I access a Responsive site I built last week when Live View will not edit and Display will not display?
    I feel this is a programming error, not a purposeful act.

  • TranslateMarkup output not displaying in design view

    Hi
    I'm trying to take a set of php pages which all follow a similar style
    <?php
    $p=new page();
    $p->rightCol=<<<RC
         SOME HTML GOES HERE
    RC;
    $p->mainContent=<<<MC
         SOME OTHER HTML GOES HERE
    MC;
    This then pulls in various other files (css, js etc) and renders on the website. I'm used to working with an IDE and hand-writing php code. My non-technical colleague would like to edit the html using WYSIWYG and is used to using DW. At the moment the html in the heredoc strings doesn't display in design view. I've been trying to rejig the pages using translators and can convert the above php into html which renders fine in a browser. The html output from the translateMarkup function doesn't display in design view. I think I'm probably fighting a losing battle (for instance I'm not sure how I'm going to make html editable in DW even if I can get it to render), but if anyone could explain why the html won't render I'd be very grateful. My translator is
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Conditional Translator</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=">
    <script language="JavaScript">
    function translateMarkup(docNameStr, siteRootStr, docContent){
    //Find the right col stuff, delimited by <<<RC\n and RC;\n
    var regexRC=/<<RC([\s\S]*)RC;/;
    var regexMC=/<<MC([\s\S]*)MC;/;
    var rcContent = regexRC.exec(docContent)[1];
    var mcContent = regexMC.exec(docContent)[1];
    var ret = (getHeader()+'<main>'+mcContent+'</main><aside id="rightcol">'+rcContent+'</aside>'+getFooter());
    return ret;
    function getTranslatorInfo() {
      var transArray = new Array(6);
    transArray[0] = "LG_TRANS";
    transArray[1] = "Translates for LG";
    transArray[2] = "1";
    transArray[3] = "php";
    transArray[4] = "0";
    transArray[5] = "allFiles";
    transArray[6] = "50";
    return transArray;
    function getHeader() {
      return '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>TEST</title></head><body>';
    function getFooter() {
      return '</body></html>';
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

    unless there's any way of rewriting the files before upload and download (ie dynamically rewrite the php pages as html before dreamweaver opens them, then rewrite them back as php before they're uploaded - I'm clutching at straws).
    I believe that this should be possible but I'm definitely not a DW extensionologist so I couldn't say for sure. Also, I believe that the tricky part would be the last step -> WYSIWYG edits back to PHP, which may well be impossible.
    If you want to talk to someone who knows DW inside out, contact the guys at http://www.projectseven.com. They are excellent.

  • DW8:  image won't display in Design View

    Folks:
    DW8 on MacOS 10.4.8 (fully updated) on Intel iMac.
    What would keep an image from displaying in DW Design View?
    What are the causes of the grey box with the superimposed "X"? Is
    there any diagnostic output that might help? Is the grey box and
    "X" substituted by DW8 for an invalid or un-drawable graphic, or is
    this done by the OS?
    The problem:
    I've got a 1912 x 1481 graphic, a geographic map, in AI that
    I'm trying to use as an ordinary web image, but DW won't display it
    in Design View. Instead all I see is a big grey box and "X". For
    test purposes, I'm starting from a new "Basic" HTML web page and
    all I'm doing is inserting this one image. I need to get this
    working so I can draw hotspots on this graphic to make it
    "clickable" .
    Here's what I've tried:
    o Triple-checking that the inserted image reference is
    correct. Yes, the image file is correctly linked. With the image
    selected, the inspector shows a tiny but recognizable miniature of
    the expected image. Further, when the page and the image are
    uploaded to the web server and I look at it via a browser, the
    expected image is _always correctly displayed.
    o Exporting the graphic "for the web" from AI as both a GIF
    and a medium-quality JPG. Neither of these are displayed in Design
    View; both are served up correctly after being uploaded
    o I found a larger JPG on a different site I'm managing. This
    always displays as expected in both DW Design View and when served
    up. I substituted the failing map JPG image. The result: A grey
    box.
    o Checking the map images: The JPG and GIF versions seem to
    be visible in all environments (image readers, browsers, etc.) I've
    checked _except_ DW8 Design View.
    o Checked on another system. I made the failing image
    available to a very helpful ACE, who performed a similar
    experiment. It worked fine for him. I used his exact HTML and
    directory structure -- and it failed for me. Grey box with "X".
    It seems to me that I've checked most of the obvious
    possibilities. Now it is time to check the less obvious ones.
    Suggestions are very welcome!
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Randy:
    Thanks for your response.
    This is a virtual memory system, so -- in theory-- it should
    accommodate anything that will fit on the hard drive, more or less,
    if I'm wiling to wait the hours (days?) it will take to swap on and
    off the disk. That assumes DW8 takes advantage of the capability.
    It may not.
    "Larger"? The JPG image I compared to is 1692 x 2160 pixels,
    but weighs slightly less, 289K bytes. I'm losing track of all my
    test images that fail, but a representative one is 1912 x 1481
    pixels and weighs 332Kb on the disk. "Roughly comparable" might be
    a better description. The point is still reasonable: DW8 does
    handle images of this size on my system.
    One issue that occurred to me recently is that I may have
    caused some grief by monkeying with the "Save for web" settings at
    the Illy export. Perhaps I asked for some configuration that's
    normal for Illy to export --or it would have warned me, I hope--
    but too strange for DW to grok. DW should complain more
    informatively than painting a gray box and "X" when that happens, I
    would think.

  • How Do I Change the Font Size in Design View?

    The font size when coding in Dreamweaver's "Design View" is
    too small. How do I change the size in "Design View" to make it
    bigger? I've found that you can change the code view in Preferences
    but it has no way to change the font size in Design View.
    P.S.--I'm using DW8

  • Websafe fonts changing in design view, but not in browsers

    ive currently got a website with font thats extremely hard to read for my real estate company.  I can change it in dreamweaver just fine and it shows in design view, but upon previewing in a browser it does not work, just reverts back to the old horrible font.  Any suggestions here??
    im trying to change the font family to
    Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif
    thank you in advance!

    There's only one h2 heading on each of those pages e.g. 2001 Update: Banks Charging....
    The other subheadings (What is the payout penalty...) are a mishmash of <p> tags, <span> tags and CSS styles.
    However, the font appearance and word spacing in those subheadings is controlled by the extensive use of the Cufon font replacement technique.
    In the Cufon Javascript file,
    http://www.definitiveinvestments.ca/js/cufon-replace.js
    the <h2> font is replaced with Bebas http://www.dafont.com/bebas.font
    Cufon.replace('h2, h3, .title3', { fontFamily: 'Bebas' });
    By hard to read, are you referring to the word spacing?

  • Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

    I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
    I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner.  It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW.  If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW.  If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software?  I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
    Any suggestions?  Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW?   Please help.

    align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types.  Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS. 
    CSS
    .center {text-align:center}
    HTML
    <p class="center">some centered text here</p>
    With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>.  However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup.  Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords.  Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs.  Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists.  Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
    XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase.  Uppercase tags will throw errors.
    Your design is too rigid.  When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable.  See screenshot.
    SOLUTIONS:
    1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE.  You don't need it.  Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess.  Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
    2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers.  Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed.  Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values.  If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

  • AI CS 4 & 5 font display is terrible

    This is NOT about font preview.
    I have been using AI for years. I am working on up to date Mac's and I currently have CS3 through CS5. Starting with CS4 and continuing with CS5 fonts display in crappy detail similar to old FH (the main reason I shunned FH years ago). Unless I zoom way in fonts have the appearance of wire and the finer details of font design does not display. I can switch views in the 'View' menu from preview to outline and see virtually no difference in font display. Even when zoomed way in the font appears rough and stair steppy. I have experimented with all screen resolution setting available to me with lower resolutions then my preferred 1920 x 1080 and fonts only display worse.
    I have searched and searched these forums and could find not one mention of this issue. Am I doing something wrong in my preferences? Is it a MAC thing? Has CS4/5 compromised font display after integrating FH? Or is this just the way it is and I am the only designer who cares about precision in typographical design?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had hoped it would be something that simple. Finally, I have been so frustrated I tryed everything but that. Thank you.

  • Resolved: Font display in RH9 changed

    Recently while working in RH9, the font display in the topics changed to display differently than the selected font. When I generate, the topics display the appropriate font; however, when I reopen RoboHelp after a reboot, it still displays the odd font. It's like it is displaying MS Sans Serif versus the selected Verdana. Spacing is off as well. all this in the visual display is distracting and makes it difficult to format visually. I published and it seems OK once published as well. The font displays just fine; however, back to the robohelp files, looks weird.  Anyone else experience this and figure out how to fix?
    I continued reading down through the list of RoboHelp HTML discussions and found the solution in someone else's discussion "Problem with design view display." Adjust the Zoom. the zoom adjusted to 90% for some reason (possibly hit the wrong combination of keys while working) and when adjusted back to 100%, it resolved the problem.
    THANKS.

    Is the zoom setting perhaps not set to 100%? Can you post a screenshot of the RoboHelp window showing this behaviour?
    Greet,
    Willam

  • Since I installed Helvetica Black, all fonts display in bold, but when I uninstall it, they're fine again.

    I've seen many other people having issues with all fonts displaying in bold with the latest Firefox update. For me, the update did nothing, but when I installed Helvetica Black to my computer, many fonts on the web show up in bold where they shouldn't.
    I have no problems with any of my other Helvetica weights being installed, just Black.
    As a graphic designer, I want to have the font, but I also want to see all the websites with the fonts they intended to use, rather than a default font. Is there any kind of add-on or fix I can use so that I can keep websites in their own fonts, AND have Helvetica Black installed?
    Other details:
    I have the latest Firefox.
    I'm on Windows 7.
    4 of my Helvetica weights are fine, the Black is not.

    Hi there - I'm having similar bold text issues with a customer's instance of Firefox 5.0.1 running on Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1 on a Lenovo laptop. There are two issues to be exact:
    # text that is supposed to be normal weight appears bold
    # some text has an incorrect amount of spacing (padding/margin) around it
    These symptoms appear only on this one machine and appears to be fine in Firefox 5.0.1 across at least 3 other machines running Win 7 as well as all other browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari) we've tested in across a variety of platforms.
    I've attached an image with a side-by-side comparison of the normal view next to the broken view as it appears on this specific machine.
    I've tried unchecking the hardware acceleration option and restarting Firefox - did not work.
    I've also tried running Firefox in Windows XP compatibility mode (as suggested here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/repair-the-google-and-gmail-bold-font-issue/) - did not work.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Poor font display in Acrobat X

    When I view many PDF files in Acrobat Pro X (10.1.9) in Windows 7, the font displays poorly:
    The same file appears fine in the Firefox viewer:
    Any idea how I can fix the issue?

    A couple of questions about the displays above.
    What are your Page Display preferences in Acrobat?
    Is the font in the PDF file embedded?
    What is the Firefox viewer?  Do you mean the JS file named PDF.js?
