Font and labels

Hi, elementary question...
in my program I have many labels as class variables. I initialize them all in init(). How can i change their font. All of them should be the same font, just not the default one. Also i would like to make certain ones bold. How do I do this?
Thanks!

This should work:
yourLabel.setFont(new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 11));
yourLabel2.setFont(new Font("Verdana", Font.BOLD, 11));

Why controls and labels don't go to their respective places?

i wonder why the controls and labels don't go to their respective setLocations, they just keep stacking theirselves at the top....

just add :

Address Book and Label Printing

I've been trying to do this and have run into a sea of problems/bugs.
A lot come to light after switching back and forth between the Layout and Label tabs. This seems to render the preview window inoperative. For example, after choosing print from the file menu then clicking Layout then clicking Label in the Print Dialog Box:
1) changing font is not reflected in preview pane
2) clicking "country" check box is not reflected in preview pane
3) zoom control does nothing
4) changing label type does not update preview pane
After printing and then trying to print a second time, I notice that some setting are not saved. For example, the Country, if it was checked, has reverted back to being not checked and the font has reverted to Lucida Grande 12. More importantly, the label type reverts back to the default 5161, but only after every second print. (ie choose print from file menu set label type to 2163, print, select print from file menu: label type is 2163, print, select print from file menu again and label type has now reverted to 5161
When selecting a different Label from the layout menu, ie Avery 2163 Top, the Preview Pane is only partially updated. The addresses are relocated on the page but a full 8 1/2X11 page is still shown. if I cancel the Print and return, the preview page size has been resized to reflect the smaller label size.
I've also a great deal of difficulty getting Address Book to print correctly on Avery 2163 labels. These labels are 2" wide and the program seems to want to print on 8 1/2 inch wide paper. As a result, only the left hand portions of the address appear on the label, and even that is not properly spaced vertically to appear correctly within each label. I was able to get it to print correctly only when I selected "Scale to Fit Paper" in the Paper Handling Section
These problems don't seem isolated to my machine (A PowerPC G5). I was able to replicate on an intel imac.
Has anyone else had problems printing labels?

Warren: looking at other threads out there it doesn't appear that you can print the spouse/partner/friend field. One poster suggested using Avery DesignPro for Mac, which merges with your AddressBook, and allows you to select which fields to include. The only caveat is that it doesn't show it working with Lion (os 10.7). You can download it here:
http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-%26-Software/Avery-DesignPro-for-Mac. htm?N=0&refchannel=c042fd03ab30a110VgnVCM1000002118140aRCRD
Hope this helps.

How do I change font and colors back to default?

I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

Hi Brenda19605,
You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
The default settings for the font are in this article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
Let me know if you need anymore help!

I am using Illustrator CS5. I am using a certain font and when I make a selection to use one of the letter options or a glyph, it does not take my selection; in other words, nothing changes.

What font? What system? What Glyph? What language settings? Could be anything. Either way, ask in the AI forum. You'll get quicker answers there - if you provide all the required info.

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start! When I start FireFox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens as if FF just crashed??? I don't see any records in event viewer. I am using FF v3.6.3 on a Windows 7 box. I tried uninstalling 3.6.3 and installing 3.0.18 and had the same problem!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After a uninstalled all fonts including system fonts and then reinstalling system fonts. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; AskTB5.5)

The files with submitted crash report ids are inside the ''submitted '' directory, from the directory you found the LastCrash.txt timestamp file.
The file names will begin with '''bp-'''
There might be more information from the crash report, but it might just tell us you are crashing the first time Firefox tries to use a font.
One thing I suppose you could do is select only those fonts you've got in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced and then uncheck the '''Allow pages to use their own fonts''' option.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel#Fonts_Dialog
To be honest, I can't find anything on this Netscape Font Navigator and it sounds highly dubious.

How do I use all fonts and Microsoft Word?

Although my fonts seem to be installed correctly, I often get a message when I try to use a new font that says "font not available for use in Microsoft Word," or some such. How can I make installed fonts available for Word? (By the way, this was true with earlier versions of OS 10.4, as well.)

Fonts you download or otherwise acquire as font files should be placed in the Fonts folder in your Library or in the Fonts folder in the global Library. Having been placed there, the Mac OS knows what to do and there's nothing more for you to do.
However, if you add fonts to the Fonts folder while an application is running...well the OS is supposed to let the program know about that and the program is supposed to gracefully accept them but it doesn't always work that way. I've never seen the error you mention but I can imagine it occurring if you've just added a font and the program was running. Just quit and restart the program.
Having said that, some programs, Word included, prebuild font lists to enable faster loading times. I can also imagine Word's font list becoming corrupt (which happens all too frequently) which might cause your error message. The fix is to delete the font cache file. (found in the ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache)

Sharpener Pro 3 has problems in Aperture as the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Any ideas?

I am experiencing problems with Sharpener Pro 3 as an Aperture 3 plug-in. These are: the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Following discussions with Nik Software I have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Neither of the courses of action worked. Have other users experienced these difficulties? Can you suggest an alternative remedy?

I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6). You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
In my html document (Resume.html) I have this code, at the top:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me. As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
Any help is always appreciated.
Peter A. Forkes

You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
change
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
to
a:link, a:visited {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;

Can I set a default font and font color for the text field properties?

I am setting up applications, some of the information I fill in prior to sending it to the client; I would like that text to always be in a specific font and color so it is clear to the client what information I filled in for them when they are reviewing the document.
Thank you

Not at this time, but I've asked the product team to consider adding it as a feature. Thanks for the suggestion.
