Font antialiasing in Dropdown or Short Answer Areas in Fill-the-gap

Hello,
the more I test, the more I love CP5.
But CP5 has a lot of issues, or it's me :-)
I create a fill-the-gap test. Everythings fine, but in preview the font in the dropdown menu or the short answer textfield is pixelized and not antialias
It's very ugly, please see the attached screenshot.
Anybody knows, why the fonts aren't antialiased?
Im using CP5 on OSX.

Hi there
I am hopeful that one of the Captivate team members can offer up some sage advice on this.
I'm unaware of any setting in Captivate 5 that governs the anti-aliasing. I know they changed the manner in which text is rendered. Not sure if that's why you are seeing what you are, but it could have something to do with it.
I would strongly encourage you (and anyone else encountering this) to consider logging this issue as a bug so that Adobe is aware of it and it will gain priority for a fix at some future point.
Personally, I'm a bit surprised that your screen capture depicted the full word showing. My own Captivate seems unable to accomplish this and I see a truncated answer after selecting as shown below:

Fill-the-gap with multiple gaps - show right answers colored

Hello,
I'm using CP5 on OSX 10.6.4
I create a quiz "fill-the-gap" with multiple gaps (textfields/drop-down menu) in a single slide.
When a user doesn't fill all gaps he get the info, that he have to fill all gaps. O.K.
When he fills wrong answers he get the info, that it is not correct. But he can't see, which answers are right answers.
Has CP5 (i.e with a variable) the feature to color right answers (i.e the font turns to green) others turns to red?
Or right answers turns to non-editable textfields or drop-downs aren't available after setting the right answer.
Ishan

Hello,
I never used CP5 on Mac, just on Windows. So I'm not totally sure my answers will apply.
About your question to see the right answers: normally this will be done during Review, provided you did allow Review in the Quiz Settings (Allow the user to review the Quiz). You can see the message that will be showed when selecting the Review area on the stage and looking at the Properties. The messages can be edited. In the screenshot you see the default messages. For an incorrect answer both the given answer ('Your answer:...') and the correct answer will be put in the Review area during review.
For your second questions: as far as I know, this is not possible with the default dropdown list of the Question slide for 'Fill-in-the-Blank'. It could be made possible by constructing your own Question slide, using the available objects, user variables and advanced actions.

CS6 (Windows) My Images are not filling the entire program window

My sequence is set to 1920x1080 and I have imported some images (Tiff's) into it that are of the resolution. Yet, when I go to those images in the timeline, they are not filling the entire available space. The entire image is being displayed, but it is supposed to fill the entire screen. You can see for yourself with this image attachments.
Ideas?

OK, the Default Scale to Frame Size box was unchecked, I checked it.
The aspect ratios match.
I understand what you are saying about pixel depth, but 1920 x 1080 is still the width and height of the image and the image and sequence both show the same width and height, think that I should not get what I am getting here.
I checked the "Modify|Interpret Footage" option and the radio button is set to "Use Pixel Ratio From File: Square Pixels (1.0)" and changed it to Conform to Square Pixels (1.0) and still have the same results.
This is not happening with just one image, it is happening with all of them. If I bring in an image that is 3840x2160 (200%) and then set the scale to 50%, I still get the same black space. So, it is either fill the screen and cut off some of the displayed image or live with black space. There is just something wrong here I am not seeing.

How can I create secondary and tertiary dropdown menus whose choices are dependant on the parent?

Kind of a weird question; I know. I'm new to both the Adobe Developer forums, and to XMP in general.
Here's the basic gist of what I'm trying to do:
We've got a Group, Category, and Subcategory structure for a given variable. Obviously, the subcategories are unique to a particular category, just as the categories are unique to a particular group; so displayed as a tree:
I.     Group_1
          1. Category_1A
                    a. Subcategory_1Ax
                    b. Subcategory_1Ay
                    c. Subcategory_1Az
          2. Category_1B
                    a. Subcategory_1Bx
                    b. Subcategory_1By
                    c. Subcategory_1Bz
          3. Category_1C
                    a. Subcategory_1Cx
                    b. Subcategory_1Cy
                    c. Subcategory_1Cz
II.     Group_2
          1. Category_2A
                    a. Subcategory_2Ax
                    b. Subcategory_2Ay
                    c. Subcategory_2Az
          2. Category_2B
                    a. Subcategory_2Bx
                    b. Subcategory_2By
                    c. Subcategory_2Bz
          3. Category_2C
                    a. Subcategory_2Cx
                    b. Subcategory_2Cy
                    c. Subcategory_2Cz
The subcategories are unique to their categories; just as the categories are unique to their groups. In an effort to prevent garbage coming into the metadata, and because these groups, categories, and subcategories have already been defined, I'd like them displayed as dropdown menus; Once the user has selected a group for the file, the Category dropdown would appear (or become active) and display the Category choices available only to that group, and then do the same in terms of the Subcategory.
I'm guessing that I'll start with a closed choice, assign the values to the groups, and then write a function to display only the choices for that group in the category dropdown. Trouble is, I don't have a whole lot of JavaScript experience -- and the word I've seen tossed around in this area seems to be an Array -- so I'm wondering if I'm barking up the wrong tree. If anyone has some kind of direction to point me in, it'd be helpful.
I'm not looking for someone to do my work for me (that's missing the point) -- this is an exercise in learning XML, Some scripting, Flash Builder, and Javascript, and I'd really like to develop it entirely myself; because I am having fun!!
Many thanks,
.themumm

Do you mean the stuff from here:
http://projects.nateweiss.com/nwdc/workcode.htm
If so, to be honest, don't ("use it", I mean).
It might have been a reasonable approach to this sort of thing ten years ago, but it's not a very good way of doing this sort of thing these days.
This sort of thing is pretty easy to knock together with some HTML, JQuery to do some JS stuff and a CFC behind the scenes.
Indeed just using some binds to <cfselect> tags would be a better approach.

Pierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Font Antialiasing/Smoothing

How can I influence font antialiasing/smoothing?
All text appears to be smoothed for tube monitors but I want the method for flat screens.
Do java.awt.RenderingHints have any effect? If so, where can I set them since I don't use Graphics2D?

LCD text didn't quite make it into this release. Only greyscale.
As "mipa" noted, this isn't Java 2D, FX is a different API and implementation
from the ground up, so you can't use RenderingHints

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents. The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
Thanks,
Harry Spier
Harry Spier

Hi Harry,
I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

I run firefox on three computers and on this one my website font is not correct. All of my boxes are set up the same. Please advise.

As I mentioned above I have three pc's all running win7 and firefox 6.02. On this box website fonts are different than the others. All of the "option" settings are identical on all of the boxes. Including "allow pages to choose their own fonts". I uninstalled 6.02 and installed 5.0 but there was no difference. So I reset to 6.02.
The pages look fine in IE.
Please advise.

That change needs to be made to the CSS file that is on the web server.
So if you use a CSS file or have the CSS code in the main HTML file then add <b>font-stretch: condensed;</b> to all CSS rules that have a ''font-family: "Arial Narrow";''
If you do not have access to the page code and can't modify it then there is not much that you can do.

Fonts are changing in the Preview tab

I have a complex dynamic form in LiveCycle Designer. When I am on the Design View tab, I have most of the fonts set to Myriad Pro. When I use test data and view the form in the Preview PDF tab, all the fonts change. According to the document properties window, they changed to Adobe Sans MM. Why are the fonts changing? How do I get the form to use the fonts I selected in the Design View?

PDF preview is using the currently automated instance of Acrobat or Reader to display your form design. However, font locations are different between the two applications. Designer takes its fonts from a local font folder in its app directory whereas Acrobat/Reader will attempt to resolve font names either through the windows font folder for truetype, etc, and its own font folder located in Acrobat/Resource/Font. If your designer font is not in the Resource folder and you have embed fonts turned OFF in File->Form Properties->Save Options, acrobat/reader will try to substitute the missing font with whatever available font is acceptable usually Adobe Sans. The A beside the font category shows that its an acrobat/reader font resource which is the issue.
