Font behaviour in iWeb2

After upgrading my website to iWeb2.02 I have strange font behaviour when I look at the website with a browser.
The fonts are nothing special (arial) but I've been playing around with the new widgets which seems to have messed up some of the HTML code. I removed as much of the widget code as I could find but no improvement.
I've seen several questions on this matter in this discussion group, but no answers that would resolve it.
Look at the difference between these 2 pages:
http://www.labscores.com/LabScores/home.html (problem example)
http://www.labscores.com/LabScores/LabSuite.html (page that still looks OK)
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

Solved the issue, just posting to help others:
iWeb2 apparently has a different way of storing all images etc. on a page.
(this problem was with a website that was published to a folder, then uploaded to the proper location).
After uploading the entire website again (including all subfolders, images, CSS files etc) everything looked back to normal again.
I will be bringing back in the HTML widgets to see if I still need iWeb Enhancer and Tag to include the codes for statistics etc and will keep you posted.

Strange font behaviour

Hi list,
recently I encountered strange behaviour of some fonts (type
1) in FreeHand (11.02, Mac 10.3.9)
Some characters don't display (neither on screen nor in
print). For instance, I can't type the euro sign in Scala. When I
use the same font in Indesign or Illustrator all is well.
Anybody ever had the same problem?
What can be done about it?
TIA

The Font Suitcase file contains bitmap (screen resolution) representations of all the associated varieties of that typeface, whereas the Postscript Outline files contain vector data, telling the printer how to output the characters.
Quark 6.5 can function with only the bitmap representations, as long as you don't try to print the file.
The bitmap is used to display the characters on screen (screen resolution is very low compared to print resolution). However, when you try to print to a Postscript printer (or make a PDF file), Quark sends the linked Postscript Outline vector data. This allows the output device to use the best possible resolution it can produce.
It seems that with Quark 7, they've decided to have the program detect the Outline fonts when a document is opened, rather than when you try to print - to prevent people from using typefaces then cannot use for output.
Postsript fonts are a real pain-in-the-neck, since it's easy to separate the Outline file from the suitcase file. The newer OpenType format looks like it could solve a lot of problems.

Strange font behaviour when printing from PDF

Hi - hoping someone can shed some light as I've been going slightly crazy trying to figure out what's happening.
I'm working on a Mac. I'm using the .ttf fonts of the Oswald family - obtained from Google fonts (and various other sources to rule out corrupt files).
When exporting the PDF from InDesign and printing it myself, there are no issues. When I send the PDF to others on a Windows machine, it prints fine.
When sending the PDF to my client (always the way) some of the font characters are, well, nudged down half way almost, out of alignment. It only happens on some characters, not all.
We only discovered this before submitting an ad to the printers, and for safety's sake, I converted all the text to outlines. Ok for now, however not a long term solution as we need to be able to use this font for live situations.
Has anyone experienced this before? Or perhaps can anyone suggest a workaround? I have to use TTF fonts as a 3rd party company who are working on some dynamic brochures have requested it.
I'm literally at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

Well I can give you what I did to get around the problem. I am running Adobe X pro on windows 7.
1. The print job in queue, cancel it so that it is deleted. You now should have no jobs pending.
2. Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers(Win7) or just the printer and devices for your OS. Yes this must be done with Admin privilages.
3. Go to Printer Properties for the Adobe PDF printer.
4. Select the ports tab. Mine was on Com3.
5. Select Add a Port and call it Adobe Printer or something.
6. Select the check box and select apply.
You should now print with no errors.

Really strange Font behaviour - variants missing

Hi,
I'd really appreciate any help.
I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6. I occasionally need to do some work on Quark Xpress.
One of my documents uses a font called Berling. Under Quark XPress 6.5, I installed the font in the font book and all was well.
Upgraded to Quark 7 - suddenly same document can't find Berling Bold or Berling Italic.
Testing to see what the issue is, I took out Quark 7, reinstalled 6.5 and all was fine again.
Looked in Font Book and it only showed 1 subset of Berling - Berling Roman. When I click on Berling though and select validate, all the subsets show up as working - but they are not visible in the Font Book Application. If I delete Berling and double click the Berling FFil to reinstall, Font Book only shows Roman as the only available variant of Berling. If I install this, Roman is all I can see, unless I click validate - which shows all the variants.
Quark 7 seems to think Berling Roman is the font and that there are no variations.
Does anybody have any idea why this would be happening?
cheers

Strange font behaviour in info / report windows

i've had this problem for a long time and i'm ready to fix it now. whenever i get an info or report window in a programme like xACT or justabout anywhere, the font looks very strange. at first i thought it was going vertical but now i realise it is one character to a column, two columns to a window. it looks something like this ...
T H
I S
I S
W A
T I
T L
O O
K S
L I
K E
(except that the right column is perfectly aligned, and halfway across the window).
i don't know what font it is, how to find what it is, or if it has somehow been corrupted. if i select all and past it into a text edit document then it reads fine.
has anyone experienced this before & how can i correct it ?
thanks,
mark

Hi Doug --
If you are positive it's the Curlz font,
don't just disable it. Locate it via "Find" or Spotlight.
Put it in the trash.
Restart your Mac and test again.

Weird font behaviour in InDesign

Can anyone explain what's happening here?
I've loaded an OT version of Zapf Dingbats into Fusion on my Mac Pro and it seems just fine. Font Doctor says its OK. Suitcase Fusion says its OK. The font characters display correctly in Fusion.
I can use both the TT and OT versions of the font in Mail and Word. Both versions print OK, too.
But when I apply the OT font in Adobe InDesign or Illustrator, all I get to see is boxes with a cross through them and that "missing font" pinkish hue.
No other OT fonts pose this problem. And deleting the TrueType font of Zapf Dingbats makes no difference so it's not a duplicates problem.
Thanks for any suggestions or solutions to this annoying issue.

Dang! It was so obvious. The OT version has the symbols in the correct place in the glyph palette. The letters and numbers that I used to type to get the bullets and scissors are empty characters in OT. Thanks to Carl over at Extensis for enlightening me. Boy was I being dim. I need to use the glyph palette instead of the old keyboard memories.

Weird OT font behaviour in InDesign and Illustrator

Hi font experts.
I've been directed here by someone at the InDesign forum, who thought you might be able to help.
Can anyone explain what's happening here?
I've loaded an OT version of Zapf Dingbats into Suitcase Fusion on my Mac Pro and it seems just fine. Font Doctor says its OK. Suitcase Fusion says its OK. The font characters display correctly in Fusion.

No other OT fonts pose this problem. And deleting the TrueType font of Zapf Dingbats makes no difference so it's not a duplicates problem.
As a result of the above I've temporarily ditched Fusion today to try out FontExplorer (which I like). Comparing the two fonts in there, I can see that there are lots of "missing" characters in the OT version if I select "Show missing characters", but none in the TT version. Not sure if that's relevant.
Also, each character in the OT version has a lot more information, including Character Code, Unicode, Glyph ID, HTML and Keystroke, whereas the TT version simply has the Glyph ID. Don't know if that's relevant either. Incidentally, the keystroke doesn't work in InDesign or Illustrator.
Thanks for any suggestions or solutions to this annoying issue. It seems very weird but maybe there's a simple explanation. Cheers.

Inconsistent font behaviour between reflow and chrome

Having seen previous threads regarding inconsistent font behavior caused by copied and pasted text containing hidden styling tags, I tried to find a way of quickly stripping out the tags.
Copied client text from word.
Used paste special - text only - to drop text into Dreamweaver CC design view. Entered code view and deleted invisible tags. Copied text from code view and pasted into Edge Reflow.
Styled text in Reflow - paragraph breaks, shift returns and emboldened headings. Saved and previewed in Chrome - still not showing bold headings (arial).
So, deleted text box in reflow, and redrew. Switched to Dreamweaver and copied text from code view with <p> and <br> tags as needed.
Returned to reflow and pasted into text box. Immediately black screen and no way to do anything. Had to force quit and restart from saved reflow project file.
Same thing happens upon repeating.
What can I do to get the reflow typography to preview properly in chrome? Really frustrated by this issue.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Thanks very much for this bug. I can reproduce it on my end. I've filed it for our team to take a look at.
I'll try and update if we find a fix.

Urxvt font behaviour

no matter what font and size I use - there's always a small gap between characters:
here're urxvt on the left with Dejavu Sans mono and gnome-terminal with the same on the opposite
how can it be solved?

I had same thing after pacman -Syu. Anyway, try monospace font for now. It worked for me
URxvt*font:: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:hinting=true
URxvt*boldFont:: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:bold:hinting=true

Unpredictable font behaviour in InDesign

Hi folks.
I'm experiencing a weird recurring font problem within InDesign CS3 and CS4.
I'm copying some text (Meta LF - Postscript) from advert A to advert B and the text keeps changing to the non-LF version of the font.
Here's the list of things that I have tried so far:
1. I removed the non-LF version from my machine but it still converts to the LF version but now sees it as missing.
2. Removed the font cache from within Extensis Universal Type Server and reinstalled all my fonts.
3. Exported the file as an InDesign Interchange file to see if it cleared any corruption.
4. Pasted the same text from advert A into a new document and it worked fine.
5. Pasted advert B into a new document. Copied the text from advert A in but still getting the same problem.
6. Pasted advert B into a new document deleted advert B and then pasted the text from advert A in again. Still getting the same problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
I'm gradually going insane!
Gordon
This is occurring on multiple machines. G5s & MacPros running Mac OS 10.4 & 10.5, InDesign CS3 (simualted the same problem in CS4) and running Extensis Universal Type server. Meta Postscript font from FontShop International.

Starting with the obvious, have you looked at the Paragraph or Character Styles panels for these documents?

Accessibility Feature - Change font behaviour (size)

Hi,
I want to add the functionality to a web site where a user
can click button to increase (or decrease) the font size. That is
headings, paragraphs and link texts should change size
proportionately. Ideally I want the rest of the pages to use the
same font size if a user changed it on one page. I imagine this is
done using CSS, but wasn't sure how to implement this.
Is there an easier way to do this using Dreamweaver? Can
someone point me to a tutorial that explains how to do it?
Thanks.
Suchintha.

Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

Hi.
I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
- When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
- When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files. The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
And here is the same file uploaded just now:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file. With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless. Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/dae50071-9596-44ce-b525-3f52663f8cca
Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

Fonts not displaying properly in Safari

I built a webpage in Adobe Dreamweaver and for the most part the text is editable. It displays properly in all web browsers (internet explorer, chrome, firefox) except for Safari. When I view it in Safari on my MacBook Pro, the sections where text is editable is displayed in a different font than I used. I used Century Gothic which is a sans serif font and it's being displayed as a serif font.
How do I fix this?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.

Linux application fonts

Reposted from erroneous post on Labwindows/CVI - sorry
I am having the problem of different font behaviour when transferring applications from windows to linux. After trying various things without much success I am left with some questions:-
1      The help files in LV 8.2 say that the default font in linux for application, system and dialog is helvetica. If this is not installed is there any way of finding which font has been chosen by Labview?
2      The 'Tools->Options->Fonts' menu gives a list of fonts that have little relation to the fonts actually installed on the PC, where does this come from?
3      I have tried defining fonts in the .labviewrc file using the "labview.appFont:" parameter.  Is this supposed to become the default font overriding what is selected by labview as in 1? It apparently has no effect in my application.
I would be grateful for any information

Hi jbroughton,
I hope your well today.
As promised I have had a look into your questions:
1) Regarding what happens if labVIEW can't find the default?
A) LabVIEW will still indicate the original font in the font ring.
However, since the font is not available on the system, LabVIEW will
actually use the Application Font.
What Happens if LabVIEW Cannot Find a Particular Font for a VI?

2) More info on fonts in labVIEW (is in a KB, but link is broken so...)
<><><><>
In terms of fonts, LabVIEW has three default fonts that it uses:
Application, System, and Dialog fonts. The following is a breakdown of
where these default fonts are used and how they map to the fonts on
various operating systems:
Application Font:
LabVIEW default font used in Controls/Functions palettes and new controls.
(Windows) The U.S. version of Windows usually uses Arial. The size
depends on the settings of the video driver, because you can frequently
set up higher resolution video drivers to use Large Fonts or Small
Fonts.
- (Macintosh) LabVIEW uses the same font used in the
Finder for file names for the Application font, which on the U.S.
Macintosh system is Geneva.
- (UNIX) LabVIEW uses Helvetica by default.
System Font
LabVIEW font for menus.
- (Windows) Windows uses Helvetica, with the size dependent upon the video driver.
- (Macintosh) Thus, LabVIEW normally uses Chicago.
- (UNIX) LabVIEW normally uses Helvetica for this font.
Dialog Font
LabVIEW font for text in dialog boxes.
- (Windows) This font is a bold version of the Application font.
- (Macintosh) This font is the same as the System font.
- (UNIX) On HP-UX, this font is the same as the System font. LabVIEW normally uses Helvetica for this font.
