DWM: Fonts & Glyphs

Essentially, I would like my DWM top bar to render fonts exactly as urxvt does. I've tried DWM-Pango in the AUR, but I get something similar to this at best:
As you can see, I'd like the Japanese to appear the same size as it does in ncmpcpp. I'm using conky-cli to display my MPD status.

This seems very much like your previous thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=101716
While you may not have got the answer you were looking for there, opening another thread with no further information (other than a change of WM) seems gratuitous...

Which Adobe Creative Cloud tool is for designing or editing fonts/glyphs?

Adobe's "Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType" (AFDKO) documentation states that "AFDKO is for adding OpenType data to existing fully-designed PostScript and Truetype fonts, and for proofing them. It does not offer tools for designing or editing glyphs."

[SOLVED] Font glyphs work locally, but not over SSH?

Hello,
I am trying to get some font glyphs used for status icons (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stlarch_font/) to show up in a tmux session over SSH.
The setup on the local and remote machines are identical and the fonts work fine in tmux on both machines, running locally.
When attempting to view a tmux session over SSH, however, the glyphs no longer display and instead there is a blank space where they should be.
Setup:
URxvt 9.20
Tmux 1.9a
.Xresources (full)
URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color
URxvt*font: xft:dejavu sans mono for powerline:regular:pixelsize=16,\
-misc-stlarch-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1
.tmux.conf (full)
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
The setup is based off of tutorial: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=20504
Any ideas?

--edit--
It appears that the fonts do show up properly on the remote machines when I simply SSH in; it's only when I enable X11 forwards ("-x" flag) that they no longer work...
**Update 2014/07/14** Problem not related to X11 forwarding. See below for explanation.

Dwm ohsnap glyphs

I am using DWM and have been trying to set it up to ue the "ohsnap" font's icon glyphs in the tag names and conky config.
doing echo -e \xc9 and things like that always print a diamond with a ? inside it, unless i do "urxvt -fn -ohsnap-*--*-*-" then the icons will show.
the font will show up in xfontsel, and I am using the font in all other terminals, why cant I get this to work?

How do I import Czech font Glyphs into my Indesign document? (Mac OS).

Regards
David Would

First off, assure the right characters are copied from the PDF -- it could be they got mangled in the encoding, or never were properly encoded. There is no guarantee the PDF contains the correct characters.
Select the text and apply one of these fonts: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, Times New Roman. These all have extremely large character sets, and Czech characters (those with the hacheks, right?) should be in there. If they still appear as pink boxes, check the Unicode of these (select just one of the pink boxes and look in the Info panel). Unicodes for the Czech characters are 10C,10D (C caron), 11A, 11B (E caron), 160, 161 (S caron) -- perhaps a few more. If you see something like "F01A", that's way out of range, and you'll have to replace them manually with the 'correct' characters.
If the font you're using doesn't have the required chars as single glyphs, you will have to replace them manually by its base character and a hachek, tracked leftwise to its correct position. You can do this for one character and then use the 'formatted clipboard' option in Search/Replace.

Font glyph

I try generate swf from my c# program.
I convert TrueType fonts to SWF glyphs to use embedded font.
From specification:
quote:
SWF glyphs are always defined on an EM square of 1024 by 1024
units. Glyphs from other
sources (such as TrueType fonts) may be defined on a
different EM square. To use these
glyphs in SWF file format, they should be scaled to fit an EM
square of 1024
So when I get character outline(by Windows GDI function
GetGlyphOutline) I scale it to 1024x1024.
But this glyph in DefineTextTag is larger than same character
in DefineEditTextTag(used device font) with same font height.
What I do wrong?

To follow onto Mylenium's post...
With Fontlab, you can copy and paste from AI because Fontlab understands AI's clipboard format. Comes in as vector. Actually, you can go back and forth. To set up an artboard, copy a glyph out of Fontlab and paste in AI. Set your artboard size and guidelines. This will help to minimize any resizing in FL once you draw a glyph in AI and paste into FL.

Changing stroke [reduction] thickness of a font (Glyph)?

Hello all,
I used the Glyph function for a curly bracket in order to denote two sections on an illustration. It isn't ideal by it gets the point across (I am open to ideas that are better than a font based curly bracket).
Anyhow, because I had to expand the curly bracket character to 72pt, it is now too thick. Is there a feature, in InDesign that will allow me to lessen the stroke size? The Stoke Weight is already 0, so that won't work. I have also lowered the Horizontal scale... that helped with the appearance. Plenty of community help requests talk about increasing stroke thickness, but none cover reducing it.
Another option is to convert the font character to curves. Can I do that without going into Illustrator?
Thank you.

Avenir Heavy.
Why an outline in interesting? because the stroke alignment settings are different and allow to apply an internal stroke (negative stroke!):

[SOLVED] dwm manager taskbar font howto

I'm trying to make my default dwm taskbar font bigger. After I installed dwm the default taskbar font looks small for me. How can I make it bigger?
I tried editing config.h file and edited default font to:
static const char font[] = "*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1";
just the way it was set in my other distro.
But still no result, same small font.
Does anybody have a good font in mind, that will look good, like the one from terminus pack. I don't know the names of good fonts and googling doesn't give any good alternatives.
Maybe somebody has already have something in mind?
1. why does my dwm font do not change, even when I edit config.h, compile and install (makepkg -efi)?
2. could you provide any good font alternatives?
ps. also this default dwm font does not understand cyrillic or any other language, so when I try "Mod+p" in ru layout it screws my typing.

Font's glyph errors: Firefox, Radeon

Having some random font glyph errors randomly appearing after new reinstall. Not sure of the source. After no lucking changing font settings I tried upgrading to infinality-bundle which improved overall font look but still has the errors. When you use the text select tool over the bad rendered fonts they repaint properly. Will also appear disapear sometimes when scrolling quickly.

ID CC 9.2.1: Interactive PDF, text boxes use wrong font

When filling out text boxes of an interactive PDF (created with InDesign CC 9.2.1) in Adobe Reader X, the font used is always Times Roman or such. Whatever I've tried so far, I fail to make the interactive text boxes use a specific font. Should be the same font that's used for the rest of the text on the page. During exporting the PDF, I've instructed InDesign to embed all font glyphs.
Is there a way to get around this problem?
Andreas

You have to work on it after exporting to PDF in Acrobat Pro and change the font there.
BUT: Don't choose exotiv fonts, use the normal standard form fonts, otherwise the file size will increase, because every font in the form must be embedded. Another problem is that older versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or some other possible PDF readers only support the standard form fonts, like Helvetica, Times, Courier in Bold, Regular, Italic, and Bold Italic. So it is better to submit to this limitations.

Fonts for Pages

My wife is wondering if there is any more fonts, Windows type, for "Pages"? She is only using 67 Windows True-Type. She's worried about compatibility in e-mails, attachments, with our friends who are all Windows/PC users.

The great thing about this was that Apple licensed to Microsoft the TrueType technology that rescued PCs from type that looked totally and utter cr@p both onscreen and in print. In return Microsoft never delivered on their promise of a TruePrint technology. There must be high-fives all round at Microsoft every time they sucker Apple.
Like most matters in life, it's not so simple, sorry.
Bas, the scalable spline technology, was developed by Sampo Kaasila who in 1983 graduated top of his class from Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm, that is, from the Royal Polytechnic. Kaasila then went to work for Imagen Corporation in the US, and then from August 1987 to August 1989 for Apple on the spline programming language. Kaasila also developed what came to be known as the TrueType Variations technology. Kaasila is now R&D Director for Bitstream.
Royal, the internationalisation logic, was developed by two of the contributors acknowledged in the Unicode Proposal of 1988, David Opstad and Eric Mader. Opstad now works for Monotype and Mader for IBM on ICU International Components for Unicode, that is, on the internationalisation element of what once was Taligent. TrueType Specification version 1.0 was published in parallel with the Adobe Type 1 Specification, that is, in mid-1990.
TrueType 1.0 for simple obligatory shaping with the CMAP Character Map was implemented for Microsoft Windows 3.1 by Gregory Hitchcock. The intention was that Microsoft TrueImage would compete with Adobe PostScript and Apple TrueType would compete with Adobe Type 1 (and Agfa/HP Intellifont, Sun F3 Folio, Bitstream/HP Speedo and Fontware i.e. any and all so-called simple character-coded composition models).
With the Apple TrueType Specification and the Adobe Type 1 Specification going open and going public, Linotype which had partnered with Adobe and Apple in late 1984 saw the writing on the wall announced at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf that its leading composition products would be merged with the leading H e l l separation products to form the world's largest and most powerful prepress platform for imagesetting type matter and tone matter.
At FOGRA Forschungsgesellschaft Druck und Medien in München in April 1992, Adobe showed Carousel (later Acrobat) and it was announced that at that point the number of PostScript font program dictionaries available as Adobe Type 1 stood at 12,000 (twelve thousand). Following the publication of the PostScript Language Reference, Second Edition, in December 1990, Microsoft announced to Seybold in 1991 that TrueImage would not stay compatible with PostScript since PostScript did not have a colour architecture that supported the screen (a CSA > CRD transform is not invertible from CRC > CSA so it is possible to preview the printable colour appearance on the screen).
The deal between IBM and Microsoft on OS/2 and its Presentation Foundation fell through at the same time. In the grab bag OS/2 table of the TrueType Specification a sub-tag, the FSTYPE function, was introduced in order to support editable embedding of the font file in the file format of authoring applications including Microsoft Word. In technical terms, this approach preserved the source character string and the simple obligatory shaping of the CMAP Character Map so that style of face, size of face, justification, hyphenation and tabulation was WYSIWYG and at the same time editable since the font file travelled inside the Microsoft Word document.
Adobe went another way, arguing that if all professional production was by way of PostScript, then first capturing professional production in PostScript and then converting PostScript which is a page-dependent sequential access page description model into a page-independent random access page description model that permits pages to the accessed in any order the way the pages of a printed book are accessed in any order was the way ahead. The problem with it was that Adobe began by corrupting the source character string and then had to fall back to synthesising the source character string from cross-font glyph identifiers, whether the Adobe Glyph List or the Association for Font Information Interchange name list.
In mid-1993, Adobe published Acrobat 1.0 without search and Apple started seeding QuickDraw GX which included Apple Portable Digital Document technology. The International Color Consortium was formed in 1993, but the the transformation technology was somewhat simplistic in that it assumed that a print device was luminous linear in XYZ and that matrix-based transforms would suffice. The objections to this lead to the introduction of LUT Look-up Tables for print devices alongside matrix transforms for more linear devices such as monitors. The ICC archicture, unlike the PostScript architecture, was invertible and bidirectional from the start in order to support repurposing requirements including proofing.
In May 1994, Adobe acquired Aldus and thus blocked the QuickDraw GX graphics architecture that competed with PostScript. Aldus and Linotype-**** had already formed the Font Consortium to try to pressure Apple to make TrueType 2 cross-platform, but seeing the success Microsoft had with TrueType 1 and Microsoft applications that supported as well the source character string as WYSIWYG, Apple did not want to licence TrueType 2 whereas the file format of ColorSync 2 became the foundation of the International Color Consortium because Prof Dr Gerald Murch who headed the talks was convinced that Apple would never sell a single operating system on the argument that it was CIE managed from the ground up.
On the world wide web you can find posts in developer discussions where David Opstad says that in his view Apple should not licence TrueType 2 in order to preserve the advantage for Apple. The ColorSync 2 file format did survive to be succesful, but the TrueType 2 file format hitherto has lingered with John Jenkins posting that Apple internally does not have high regard for the rival extension tables termed OpenType, but on the other hand it is plain to see that Apple has done an truly terrible job of evangelising its internationalisation models, let alone supporting them in Apple system software and Apple application software.
In 1994, Dr Timothy Berners-Lee succeeded in setting up the World Wide Web Consortium and CEO's had to change perspective. I seem to remember William Gates as well as Dr John Warnock changing perspective at that point. But by then the starting point was unequal as in abstract archival space the condition is that you identify digital documents by their content of character information, and here Adobe's strategy that started by destroying the source character string was technically harakiri. So, now we have the problem of unknown amounts of viral type and unknown amounts of PDF that preserves the appearance but not the content.
In 2005, Microsoft made it clear that Adobe Type 1 would not be supported under the Presentation Foundation of Microsoft Windows Vista and in 2006 Microsoft left the International Color Consortium, of which it was a co-founder. The disagreement was over the ColorSync 2/ICC model which defines determinate, runtime-independent rendering for colour-colourant transforms, which incidentally is the same mould as the TrueType 2 model for determinate, runtime-independent rendering. The main opponent of this development model has been Adobe, by the bye.
This is a short summary, based on public posts with the people involved as well as private talks.
In 2005, Adobe had Pamella Pfiffner write a twentieth anniversary book on the Publishing Revolution, but the book is a celebration of Adobe's business model and not a discussion of Adobe's drawing models for composition, drawing models for separation, and document models for pagination.

_sans font problem or bug..!?

while using _sans font with 11px, the edge of W is getting cut. But wen i change to 12px or 10px it works fine...
ActionScript Code:
<mx:TextArea id="_txt" htmlText="{txtStr.toUpperCase()}" width="600" height="200" styleName="subSectionTextStyle" />
style
Code:
.subSectionTextStyle{
               font-family: "_sans";
               color: #FF0000;
               font-size: 11px;
any one can tell me the solution what is the problem with 11px for _sans.

Since installing Snow Leopard, several OpenType fonts I use in important projects have become unusable. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with Snow Leopard's type control UI, or the fonts themselves.
The most important one to me is Canada Type's $120 Ronaldson font family http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/ronaldson/ which I've used for many weeks successfully, relying on the "Rare Ligatures" checkbox in Pages and TextEdit.
In Snow Leopard, I can still view existing documents that were set with the rare ligatures; they render on-screen correctly. But in the Typography popup in both programs, there is no access to these character sets, just the basic font glyphs.
The "Rare Ligatures" checkbox does appear for Hoefler Text, for example. So I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is in Ronaldson (I've contacted the foundry), or with some sort of change in OpenType handling.
It's a pressing concern for me: I need to use this font family in particular. How can I tell whether the font is to blame, or something in the contextual typography dialog?
Open Font Book and use the menu item File > Validate font.
You could also try this: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-fonts-in-leopard-are-crazy-how-do-i.html
I have never tried it in Snow Leopard, though, so I am not sure how well it would work.
To me it is actually surprising that Rare Ligatures ever worked for you. There have been quite a lot of people reporting problems with typographic features and OpenType fonts in Leopard.

Defining fonts in AS3/Flex?

Hi,
I have an application where I need to render a subset of SVG in Flash. I am aware of projects such as as3svgrenderlib and svg2swf. However, my SVG files have font definitions in them (i.e. include glyphs), and these fonts are referenced in the SVG. I am looking for a way to import these font/glyph definitions so that they can be used at runtime within the flash player.
At the moment, I don't see any way of doing this. If I can get a definitive answer one way or the other, that would be helpful, as this is a deal breaker. If I can't define fonts and use them, then I'm going to have to switch to Java.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Marty

I have a similar issue happening. I am using AS3 and have
this code in my file:
// package, import statements etc...
// the line below is the problematic line
[Embed(systemFont="..\\..\\..\\fonts\\arial.ttf",
fontName="Arial (True Type)",
mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
// now declare my class
public class ImageRotator extends UIComponent
// etc.
The class compiles fine but when I try to run it I get the
following runtime error:
"Error: Error #2136: The SWF file
file:///C:/projects/photogallery_screensaver/bin/photogallery_screensaver.swf
contains invalid data."
I've tried several things including changing the location of
the font file, using a different font file, embedding a systemFont.
But I always get the same error.
Help please!
Thanks,
Dan

Trouble powerline fonts sometimes working, but mostly not.

I'm having trouble with Inconsolata-dz for Powerline rendering the powerline arrows properly with dzen and urxvt. Terminator and Chromium render the powerline arrows just fine by default though, and Firefox works after selecting the Inconsolata-dz for Powerline font. Terminator displays them with tmux and vim-airline, Firefox and Chromium display them just fine in this window as I'm typing this. dzen2 and urxvt render blocks.
I've checked the font glyphs with gucharmap and the powerline characters are there where they should be (U+E0A0: , U+E0A1: , U+E0A2: , U+E0B0: , U+E0B1: , U+E0B2: , U+E0B3: ).
Relevant line in .Xdefaults:
URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true!
URxvt*boldFont: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true:bold
URxvt*italicFont: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true:italic
URxvt*bolditalicFont: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=13:antialias=true:hinting=true:bold:italic
Relevant lines in .Xresources:
URxvt.font:xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=11:antialias=true
dzen2.font:xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:hinting=true
Adjusting the font sizes for these works with Urxvt and dzen, but they don't want to render the unicode glyphs!
I downloaded this font from this link and added it to ~/.fonts, then ran
fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts
and then
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
then I restarted X to be sure. Urxvt is compiled with unicode3 and xft as well (it's from the default Arch repos).
Any ideas? This is really starting to frustrate me.

* I've tried different font sizes (9-15), and none of them work.
* I googled "inconsolata for powerline xresources xdefaults site:github.com", and none of the configurations work, I tried both .Xresources and .Xdefaults (not at the same time)
* I tried the aur package ttf-inconsolata-dz-powerline. This doesn't work either.
I can't think of anything left that could go wrong. I run fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts and xrdb -merge [...], and restart X, but these don't work. Chromium and terminator both pick up the fonts though.

Just thinking out loud here:
So I have the correct font, I know this because terminator and chromium load them and display the special symbols. What I'm not sure about is why terminator and chromium load this font while urxvt and dzen don't. I might have specified for terminator through its configuration to use this font specifically (can't remember because I've been working on this the past two days), but I know that I didn't with chromium. So I'm not sure if .Xdefaults/.Xresources is loading the font or not. If X is loading the font, then it's a problem with dzen and urxvt (not likely, it's just unicode, and it's well, rxvt-unicode), if X isn't loading the font then it's likely a problem with X or how the .Xdefaults/.Xresources files were set up.
I'm really not sure. I'm really open to anything here.

I created a new user to get rid of any potential configuration problem specific to my ~. I copied Inconsolata-dz+for+Powerline.otf into /home/test/.fonts, .Xresources into /home/test and .tmux.conf into /home/test (my tmux config has powerline symbols in the status line). I also created a .xinitrc with:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec fluxbox
Then I ran "fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts", and "startx". The .Xresources had only this line, followed by the solarized .Xresources lines:
URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:pixelsize=10
I also tried this:
URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz:pixelsize:10, xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline
Still nothing. Is there anything I could be missing here? I know urxvt is using inconsolata-dz because the quotes are vertical and the font sizes change, it just can't display the special characters. But terminator, firefox and chromium can. I'm confused and I'm thinking about filing a bug report. (bolded because this is turning into a long post and it's important to see that urxvt is using the font, but can't render the special glyphs. also, it's late, I'm tired, and it seems like a good use of the bold tags)

About glyph template in Illustrator

When I created glyph template in Illustrator and added it to Adobe SING Glyphlet Manager, I can find the created glyph at Indesign glyph panel.
There's also glyph panel in Illustrator CS4 software, but the created glyph can not be displayed in CS4, is there any method to show it up?

As far as I know, the glyph palette in Illie only displays font glyphs.
But I have never heard of "Adobe SING Glyphlet Manager" so I may be wrong, unless Glyphlet Manager is in fact creating a font.
I have been using Illie for almost as long as she has been around but have never heard of what you call a "glyph template" either. There's no mention of such a thing in Illie Help. You say you created one, so how did you do that?
I have often drawn or modified type characters using Illie, but use FontLab for making the actual fonts. So I am really not sure what it is that you are doing.
