Flex 4.5/FP10.2 web app: Font rendering problem

Heya,
Upped a web app from Flex 4.0/4.1 to Flex 4.5 & fonts started to render really badly (blurry & 'stronger').
They are embedded as CFF, no errors or warnings gives. Also upgraded to Flash Player 10.2, which apparently has 'enhanched' font rendering.
Haven't set applicationDPI on the s:Application tag, so DPI management should be disabled according to the docs.
(See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS19f279b149e7481c682e5a9412cf5976c17-8000.htm l)
It's straight up @font-face embeds in a CSS file, nothing odd or wrong there.
Is the case that this is how it's supposed to look now? In that case, how do I revert back to sane rendering?
Do I need to configure 4.5 somehow to get it to do fonts right?

Also tested Franklin Gothic, same deal. Tested on Mac (10.2) & PC (10.2 & 10.3). Flex 4.5 for both platforms.
fonts.css:
@font-face
src: url("fonts/arial.ttf");
font-family: Arial;
font-weight: normal;
embedAsCFF: true;
FontTest.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  • Web App table rendering

    I'm wanting to use a jQuery script to sort the table cells on the List view of a web app I'm building. Something like this one I think. http://tablesorter.com/docs/. Does anyone know a work around that prevents an entire table being rendered when a list of web app items is displayed?
    I currently have the list to display:
    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8">
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Species:</strong> {tag_fish species}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Where:</strong> {tag_water body}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Angler:</strong> {tag_name}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Weight:</strong> {tag_pounds} Lbs, {tag_ounces} Oz's</td>
                <td style="width: 100px;"><strong>Year:</strong> {tag_year of catch}</td>
                <td style="width: 100px;"><strong>Method:</strong> {tag_method of capture}</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    I was thinking if I can get it to render out something like this:
    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8">
        <tbody>
    {web app detail}
        </tbody>
    </table>
    While using something like this for the List layout in the web app:
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Species:</strong> {tag_fish species}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Where:</strong> {tag_water body}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Angler:</strong> {tag_name}</td>
                <td style="width: 200px;"><strong>Weight:</strong> {tag_pounds} Lbs, {tag_ounces} Oz's</td>
                <td style="width: 100px;"><strong>Year:</strong> {tag_year of catch}</td>
                <td style="width: 100px;"><strong>Method:</strong> {tag_method of capture}</td>
            </tr>
    I tried this but the WYSIWYG editor strips the <tr> and <td> structure out when I hit save.
    Any help would be apprected!

    Hi Scott,
    You can do that through Dreamweaver or FTP. The online editor/browser will try to correct the incomplete table ending in disaster.

  • Web App List rendering in a table

    I have three webapps listing on this site: http://browncommunicationsgroup.businesscatalyst.com/. The top slider, The area under "The Work" and in a modal window that opens when  the view opprtunities link is clicked. The web app list in the "The Work" is rendering out in a table but the other two aren't. I'm not sure why. Does anyone know of a setting oe what I can do to get rid of these tables?

    Hi Scott,
    Liam is absolutely right, if you define any number for 'items per row' in the module_webapps tag BC renders the webapp list as a table. Once the number is removed BC will render whatever you have setup in your webapp list template. Hopefully this will be updated in the BC documentation soon as it is not clear that tables are used here by default.
    Had a look at the demo site link, love the design.
    Cheers

  • Mac os x font rendering problems 1680x1050 LCD

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Mac Mini and love it except I cannot tune the font rendering using command line "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1" and using 0,1,2,3 to try out, restarting apps after each change.   It seems that "1" is the best setting for my ASUS  VW224U widescreen lcd display.   The fonts are blurry.   Is it that Mac OS X cannot work well with this 1680x1050 display resolution?  Anyone have good font display at this resolution?
    TIA

    I have the same problem.
    Changed my mac mini core 2 duo with snow leopard for a new mac mini core i5, radeon graphic card and, of course, Lion 10.6.1.
    I kept the same screen a dell U2410 connected on display port.
    The immediate result was absolutely awful.
    I had to change settings on my display :
    1 - the shaprness setting from 50 to 0 (on a scale from 0 to 100)
    2 - the color temperature, called preset mode, from Adobe RVB to standard
    Otherwise, the fonts were rendered  :
    1 - very harsh
    2 - with very visible subpixels to anti-alias
    But even with this new settings, the result is far from being good as it was just before...
    I have tried to change font smoothing parameters as you describe in your post but, if i see differences between 1 2 and 3, i found none optimal ... (and kept 2)
    I'm going mad !
    It could be better with a calibration of the screen (it seems everything is washed out...) but my colorimeter is not compatible with Lion  ...

  • Font rendering problem... (FLash BUG)

    Hi all, I have Flash instaled on two machines and both of them are having a problem when rendring flash text.
    All text on flash appears like the image bellow. And When I export to SWF the text stays the same.
    The font I'm using is Myriad Pro
    I'm running Flash on iMac i3 3.06 with 4Gb and 256 Graphics display so that can't be the problem.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks for the attention.

    Hi,
    i know this problem. It exists since the last os-x update.
    Until now there ist no solution - only two workarounds.
    a) reinstall osx and update only to an older version
    b) sometimes it helps me to close flash, restart flash and publish again.
    It seems only OTF Fonts make Problems. I know about problems with MyriadPro and DIN.
    There is also a problem creating PDF Files with the OS-X internal "Print as PDF" function.
    I hope there will be an update soon....

  • Web Kit Font Display Problem with "BEBAS NEUE"?

    Since today font "Bebas Neue" is not displayed correctly.
    Online connection is ok. Font is displayed only when published.
    Thanks for help.

    I tried that temporary solution but, in my design, I use boxes and triggers etc. and since the "replacement" font for the Bebas Neue is so different from the original, it somehow effected my design (white rectangles under the boxes).
    The first image: Font uploaded manually, hence rendered as image, and the contour is not good. (Look at the letter A) (partial screenshot from browser)
    The second image: The font is Bebas Web Font(!) in Adobe Muse (partial screenshot from adobe muse)
    The third image: Font left as is; Bebas Web Font published as it is in the second image, displayed correctly as font BUT there is a white rectangle under the box. (partial screenshot from browser)
    By the way I am using Macbook Pro, Mac OS X 10.9.2, Adobe Creative Cloud Single Edition (Muse CC v7.2 Build 232). Yesterday I worked with the same design without any problems. Nothing updated since then.

  • Oracle Web App Server performance problems

    I am evaluating Oracle Web Application Server 3.0 and while
    everything seems to work ok, the performance is noticeably
    slower than Oracle Web Server 1.0 or 2.0. I have narrowed the
    problem down to the access/execution time to a database
    package. In other words, the PL/SQL code I have built does not
    contain any Oracle SQL statements. The package simply builds a
    small web page. If I had to guess, I would say it appears to be
    related to either a log-in to Oracle (which does not take that
    long in a ProC program) or excessive child process creation
    overhead (other programs like Apache handle this just fine). I
    created the package in the www_user account, set a virtual path
    of /test/owa/ to access it and while the page displays
    correctly, it takes about 12 to 13 seconds to do so.
    I'm running Linux on a Dell 400 MHz Pentium II with 1 Gb of
    ram. I have tried changing the cartridge configuration so that
    it starts with 2 processes instead of the default 0. This
    helped some after the first execution of the package (response
    time went from 12 seconds down to about 7). I am running it
    without security on the virtual path (I thought maybe that was
    slowing things down). I tried setting the user sessions to true
    (default was false) and setting a timeout of 1200. None of
    these things helped (nor did they make it any worse).
    On an old HP system (much slower SQLPlus response time than this
    Dell system), web pages fly at a pretty good speed using PL/SQL
    and version 2 of the web server. Except for the actual database
    query time to perform SQL queries, pages display in subsecond
    time frames; not 12 seconds.
    Please give me some idea how to improve the performance.
    Obviously, something is different with 3.0 than the older wrb
    and server.
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • Arial font rendering problem in AIR

    Hi,
        I am new to flex. I have a problem in rendering arial font in Label in AIR application.
    I have attached the screen shot.The letter W has been cutted.
    Regards,
    Jayagopal.

    OK, I eventualy discover that Java uses its own font configuration, and look for the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/TTF. As I use Bohoomil bundle fonts, which does not install fonts in this directory, Java wasn't finding the right fonts.
    Copying the DejaVu family in /usr/share/fonts/TTF solved the problem.

I have attached a screen shot of it. Is it a bug in Adob Air.You can notice that letter "W" is cutted. Is it possible to fix it or not.Please help me.

    One thing to add for clarification, the problem I described is the application display problem and NOT the screen capture problem.

  • Diagnosing Arabic font rendering problem

    I have an application that is localized into Arabic. On three machines I have access to to test on (Windows Vista, OS X, and Fedora 9), when the locale is set to Arabic, the UI is rendered correctly - menus, buttons, etc. all have their text rendered in Arabic and look fine.
    The person that translated the text into Arabic, however, doesn't have the same results. He's running Linux (can't remember what flavor) and when he runs the application, the Arabic text all comes out as boxes. He says this is the case for any LookandFeel he tries (Metal that hideous GTK, Nimbus).
    Since I can verify that the application does look okay on some machines, I feel comfortable in thinking that it's an issue on his specific machine. My question is - how can we diagnose what the problem actually is?
    His machine's default locale is Arabic, and other (non-Java) applications render Arabic text fine.
    He's using Sun Java 1.6 (not sure what minor release though), not GNU Java.
    (Possibly?) relevant info:
    I noticed that several UI keys such as "Menu.font" and "Button.font" are using a Deja Vu font on my Vista system when rendering Arabic. He says his system does have Deja Vu fonts installed, but when he's getting his boxes displayed, it seems these properties are set to some other Bitstream Vera font.

    Sorry, I haven't a clue regarding a possible solution, but I thought I'd share this:

  • Chinese font rendering problem

    Firstly.. I have installed ttf-arphic-uming, ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-fireflysung. Idon't really understand why most of characters have rendered except for that one. This happens very sporadically (but always the same ones).
    I do not have a clue why this is miscoloured like that.. I think this only occurs with chinese.
    Any help is appreciated.

    It's subpixeling. Maybe you specified the setting for this font somewhere?

  • Java fonts rendering problem

    Hi all,
    I've used JEditorPane to render an html page.
    My problem is that the way to interpreter fonts seems different from Java to the operating system font, also if I have the same font installed (for example Arial TT unicode).
    For example, I have an html page that misure 100 pixel with Explorer or similar; if I render it in Java, GetPreferredSize return me a value like 130, also if I've installed the same font and I have fixed the style of the page with css.
    In this a bug?

    Have you used getInstalledFonts to see if the font is actually available to java?
    Not all fonts on the system can be used (especially under Unix/Linux). In which case Java would use a different font as a substitute.

  • Not-latin font rendering is broken in Kf5 applications

    Hello.
    After upgrading of KDE4 applications to Kf5 ones, I have the font rendering problem in them.
    It's looks like that:
    As you can see, rendering of cyrillic fonts is broken. Absolutely wrong font family (should be Terminus) and font size.
    In KDE4 apps font rendering works correctly.
    Do someone have any suggestions how can I fix this?

    I can see picture without any problems. May be it is regional-specific problem of image hosting.

    I am getting very strange font rendering problem. Look at the screen below. It only affects gtk windows (as you can see below HTML text is currently displayed, but url bar and context menu is not). I belive it appeared after upgrading pango package to 1.32, but downgrading it as instructed here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151886), didn't help. Does anybody know what can it be?
