Font Dialog in MS Windows

Hi,
What is the equal (in Java) font Dialog in MS Windows? Is Font Dialog same as Courier New Bold or Arial Bold or another one?
For example, when there are buttons, ones is JButton, and other one is simple/classic Windows Button. These buttons have same caption but when I get string width from buttons, the values are not equal.
Thank You

You can get the font name by calling getFont().getFontName() or getFont().getName() from the buttons.
There are a few default fonts that are mapped to some other fonts
sansserif
serif
dialog
monospaced
These mappings can be found in a file called font.properties in your jdk installation. It is in the lib folder.

Windows font dialog box?

Is there such a thing as a standard Windows font dialog box,
similar to the
Open and Save dialogs that you can access with the FileIO
Xtra? Something
that would allow a user to select a font that was loaded on
their system,
select color, size, style etc and then return the selection
so that Lingo
could modify a text cast member? Or am I going to have to
create this
myself?

BuddyAPI has a, windows only, function "baFontList" that will
return a
list of the fonts that are installed on a user's computer.
There may be
others.
Once you have the list of fonts, you could build a screen
that allows
the user to select the options that you give them. Or, you
could use the
MUI Xtra to create a system type window that contains all of
the options
that you want the user to select. Or, you could create a
Movie in a
Window that mimics a system window to do the same work.

Mapping fonts from Mac to Windows in CS4

What is the most efficient process to map fonts in multiple documents opened from Mac to Windows?
Currently we are working on 600+ documents that we need to convert to Windows from Mac. Every time we open a new document, the missing fonts dialog comes up. We replace the fonts. However, it appears there's no provision to automatically do this for every new opened document without manually going through this process each time!
Couldn't find any reference to this issue in Help, KB, forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

OK guys, here's where we are now: apparently there's no way to batch process multiple documents without going each time through the "missing fonts" dialog. However, we were able to make this process as short as possible by using "load character styles" for each document when opened.
And it's possible to do this across the network.
Going through "load character styles" and synchronizing two documents [the saved one and the latest opened one], we are able to at least map the fonts consistently from doc to doc. This operation is still time consuming, especially considering the large number of docs we have to process.
I'm going to look into the scripting option if there's a way to automate this process.
The same synchronization process could be done by using the "book" option. But that involves again manually adding documents to the book one-by-one.

How to add FONT DIALOG box to my notepad application

hai friends.......

thank you.........

Start by going through the Swing tutorials linked from the topic listing page of the [_Swing forum_|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]. When you are confident of being capable of displaying a dialog with the components you need, correctly layed out, check out the API for GraphicsEnvironment#getAllFonts and Font@canDisplyUpTo.
Any Swing related questions you might have along the way should be posted in the Swing forum.

Font Problems going from Windows to Ubuntu

Hey All,
I have an application that I am trying to support. It is a old(er) swing application that looks fine in Windows, but the font is all screwed up when trying to run it in Ubuntu in the offical sun release of JDK 1.6. I think it might be the same font family, it is just a lot bigger in linux. I also have the Open JDK 1.6 installed and the font seems to be fine under that. All my fonts are defined like this:
Font font = new Font("<one of the logical font names>", Font.PLAIN, 12);I have read up on the logical fonts mapping to the physical fonts and have a couple of questions:
1.) In the sun release of the JDK 1.6 that I have installed on my machine, I cannot find fontconfig.properties... I do however have these files:
fontconfig.bfc
fontconfig.properties.src
fontconfig.RedHat.2.1.bfc
fontconfig.RedHat.2.1.properties.src
fontconfig.RedHat.3.bfc
fontconfig.RedHat.3.properties.src
fontconfig.RedHat.4.bfc
fontconfig.RedHat.4.properties.src
fontconfig.RedHat.bfc
fontconfig.RedHat.properties.src
fontconfig.Sun.bfc
fontconfig.Sun.properties.src
fontconfig.SuSE.bfc
fontconfig.SuSE.properties.src
fontconfig.Turbo.bfc
fontconfig.Turbo.properties.srcIs fontconfig.properties.src file the same as the fontconfig.properties? What are all those other ones for? Are you supposed to rename them for your OS (like say you were on Red Hat 4, would rename fontconfig.RedHat.4.properties.src to just fontconfig.properties.src)? What are the *.bfc file?
2.) Is there a way for me to tell what physical font the logical one is pointing at programatically?
Font font = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12);
System.out.println(font.getFamily());//Just Returns 'Dialog'3.) I tried to copy over the fontconfig.properties.src file from the Open JDK to the official one, but it didn't work... should it have? Why didn't it? Do I need to copy other file, too?
4.) What font families do the logical fonts point at by default on windows? What about on Linux?
I am sorry I have a lot of questions, but I am new swing. I have been working with J2EE and Linux for a long time, but now have to support this legacy app. I am just looking for a little guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Found a solution. I installed the micro$oft fonts from the ubuntu repository and did a little refactoring. Instead of using the logical fonts, I change all the references to:
Dialog --> Arial
Monospaced --> Courier New
DialogInput --> Courier New
SanSerif --> Arial
Serif --> Times New Roman
And it looks almost exactly the same on ubuntu vs xp.

Web Dynpro Dialog Box / Modal Window is not working properly on firefox

Hi All,
We are having problems with Web Dynpro Dialog Box / Modal Window in Firefox. Dialog Box / Modal window won't show up properly on. They look like transparent windows. Our server is Netweaver 7.0 SP 19.
Same code is working fine in Internet Explorer. Please advise on this. Below is the code I am using.
Modal Window:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("SomeWindow");
IWDWindow sampleWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(windowInfo);
sampleWindow .show();
Confirmation Dialog Box:
IWDWindow dialogBox = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(
"Click OK to save data", IPrivateSampleView.WD_EVENTHANDLER_ON_ACTION_SAVADATA, "OK");
dialogBox.show();
Thanks

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

How to change fonts in the Finder window

How does one change change fonts in the Finder Window?
I've done it before and I know it's different in the Side Bar and for the fonts in Column View or List View.
It doesn't seem to be in Finder Preferences.
I can't find in in System Preferences.
It's not in Font Book.
Where is it???
TIA

If you click the Action Gear you have the option to change font sizes. I am not sure if changing the font per se is possible without a system hack which I do not recommend.

How to avoid missing font dialog box(alert) while running the script??

Hi....
     In Illustrator CS4 ,I tried to skip missing font dialog box(alert box) by using the following script .But,I could not skip the dialog box
So if you have any suggestion about this let me know..
tell application "Finder"
set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
    set fileName to (path to desktop folder as string) & "fer11757_f1208.eps"
    --set user interaction level to never interact
    --    set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
    open file fileName
    --set alert missing fonts to true
    set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
end tell
display dialog ("completed")
end tell
Thanks,
Mubeen

Does this NOT error when run? Your target application here is 'Finder' Apple's system file browser and you are giving it Adobe illustrator commands?
Im not 100% about the versioning with Illustrator installs I think they are all just…
Tell application "Adobe Illustrator" -- No CS Versioning?
     -- do stuff here
end tell
you could check by just picking the app from this list
choose application

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) goes to Computer Drive C - instead of Quick Access

Bug: Navigation: Save As Dialog Boxes in Windows (thus any application) still have its legacy behavior implemented and navigates to a computer drive, by preselecting and letting the user start at Computer > Drive C - instead of Quick Access.
This is simply a forgotten correction after Quick Access has been introduced that needs to be corrected for Quick Access to work effectively (in a valuable way for the user) with files not just during create and modify operations on files - but also Open
file - using File Dialog Boxes (although users may use launch instead for Opening files using i.e. Explorer or navigation from shortcuts on the desktop).
This missing change of File Dialog Box behavior is unintended and now contradicts the new design with Quick Access for faster navigation (so you should not have to start with a scroll and extra navigation to look for Quick Access (contradiction:
i.e. QUICK Access)
Please support the new navigation provided by Quick Access intended to give Quick Access - thus Save As must be able to start here.
For variability, may be provide an overriding option in Explorer>Folder Options>General (if you change the default behaviour in the File Dialogue) to have Save As start at Computer > Drive C.
! Remember to do the change for the Common File Dialog as well - used by most widespread software applications in the Adobe software applications portfolio, i.e. Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

Smartforms-Dynamic Change of Font Size in main window

Hi Friends,
How shall I be able to change dynamically the font size in main window of smartform. If the records are more in main window then the layout comes in 2 pages but if less in 1 page. So I want to decrease the font if the records are more to assign it in 1 page.
Eg : I can print only 10 lines in 1 page of main window, but if the records exceed 10 lines it is going to next page, so I want to shrink the font size to maintain the layout in 1 page.
Thanks & Regards,
Somen
Edited by: Das_SAP on Jun 23, 2009 7:59 AM

Hi,
SmartForms does not offer the option to set some characteristics at runtime. You must work with conditions in your form.
First find out how many records you have in your table
DESCRIBE TABLE mytable RECORDS sy-tfill.
You create 2 texts nodes with the text to be output and assign the font and font size to them. Obviouly, one node will have a big font size and the other one a normal font size but both contain the same information and same variables.
You can now work with an alternative. If the condition (there are many records for a secondpage) is true, assign text node with normal font size to option TRUE and the other text node to FALSE.
Optionally, every text node has folder CONDITIONS, where you can say
SY-TFILL > 10 lines <-- for text node with normal font size
SY-TFILL <= 10 lines <-- for text node with big font size

IE11 can't post form data to specific frame or window dialog opened via window.open()

Hello,
Form POST targeting to specific frame or dialog popped up via window.open() no longer works in IE11.
It worked fine in IE10 and all previous versions of IE.
Please see screenshot attached with simple test that reproduces this problem.
Direct Link to screenshot:
http://173.231.98.44/cgi/TestFolder/IE_11_widow_frame_targeting_BUG.jpg
Direct link to simple test page demonstrating this problem:
http://173.231.98.44/cgi/TestFolder/page2.asp
Note: IE11 doesn't report any errors, doesn't complain about anything, even when debugged via F12 developer tools. The only thing it complained initially was missing doc type declaration on top of page, but even after adding doc type definition, problem still
persists, makes no difference.
I tested this on fresh install of Windows 2012R2 while testing our web application with the new IE11.
I believe doing this on Windows 8.1 with IE11 will result in same bug/problem.
Our web application uses a technique whereby it launches a popup window via call to window.open(), passing blank URL and specifying a name for the new window. It then does a from post targeting the name of new dialog.
In IE11 this functionality has been broken and no longer works.
Problem is that IE11, instead of posting form to the newly created dialog, it launches a new instance of IE and then loads the requested form in this new instance of IE, while the dialog launched via window.open() remains on screen and is empty. If user repeats
launching same form post request (via button click for example), IE 11 keeps creating new empty dialogs and new IE instance for every form post executed. This totally breaks our application because we use many so called "wizards" that encapsulate
specific functionality in separate web page launched in a popup window.
Another related problem is that if a dialog is launched with window.open(), the java script code in the dialog can not target the parent frame that opened the dialog anymore. In our application, when a dialog is closed, it typically needs to trigger a refresh
of a specific frame within the parent window (again targeted by name) to reflect saved/updated info that user entered in the popup dialog. The result is that we can't refresh the parent frame after the pop up dialog closes. Instead, IE11 launches
a new instance of IE (not just a tab, but a whole new instance) and loads the parent frame in it.
The problem seems to be caused by broken frame name targeting mechanism in IE11.
Note that we force IE to compatibility mode 5, but even without specifying any compatibility, the problem remains.
Typical java script to reproduce this is:
<input type="button" onClick="Popup(this.form);" name="btn2" value="Popup Dialog">
function Popup(f){
    window.open("","MyNewDialogName","width=200,height=150");
    f.action = "page3.asp";
    f.target = "MyNewDialogName";
    f.submit();
Expected: IE11 should correctly post form to and load targeted page in the newly popped up dialog, without opening new IE instance and new tab. Repeatedly posting form to existing popup window should reuse that window, not keep on launching more popup windows
and then more IE instances.
Steps to reproduce the problem (include URL if applicable):
URL with sample page: http://173.231.98.44/cgi/TestFolder/page2.asp
1) Create page1.htm: <html><body>display "I'm in a popup window now ..."</body></html>
2) Create page2.htm with a button and onclick() event calling function to open dialog, and do form POST targeting new dialog calling page1.htm, like below.
<input type="button" onClick="Popup(this.form);" name="btn2" value="Popup Dialog"> function Popup(f){
    window.open("","MyNewDialogName","width=200,height=150");
    f.action = "page1.asp";
    f.target = "MyNewDialogName";
    f.submit();
3) Open IE11, navigate to page2.htm, click the "Popup Dialog" dialog button. IE 11 will popup the new dialog, but then it will also launch new instance of IE11 and display the page1.htm in it, instead of in the popup dialog.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Any insight or help is appreciated.
Regards
Peter

the default action of <input type="button" is submit. Note also that the default type of <button> elements is 'submit' also.
add a return false to the onclick inline event handler (which constructs the form submit attribues) to cancel the default form.submit behavior.
form elements have a target value with which you can specify the name window into which you want the form to open in.
<form action="process.aspx" target="popup">
you can use the window.open method with a query uri to achieve the same outcome.
window.open('process.aspx?s=search+term&foo=bar','popup',{features})
the outcomes of all scripted windows are affected by
your IE Popup blocker and tabbed browsing settings
which in turn is affected by your IE Security zone settings (for popup blocking handling)
and the settings of any third-party popup blocker you may have installed and enabled... it may not necessarily be visible on your browser toolbar.
The first step in troubleshooting web browser issues is to test in no-addons mode.
Use the Developer Tool to find out what documentMode the test page is opening in on your system. On Modal/Modeless popup windows use the f12 key to display the Developer tool positioned on the contentWindow.
Use File>Properties to find out what IE Security zone it maps to... there is a security setting to prevent navigation into zones of lower integrity.

How to change the font in query builder window in Reports 6i?

Hi
I am facing the old problem again and again, which is I can not find any way to change the font in query builder window in Reports 6i. The current font is so bad for alignment and ordering each part of SELECT statement. Is there any way to change this to COURIER NEW for example?

No, but I suggest using a different editor which does allow a different text option and just pasting it in.

Fonts Not Compatible with Windows 8

We've had some problems with fonts not working in Windows 8. Are all OTF available via Adobe Type campatible? The files we're having problems with have the extension of .PFB. They are visble via c:Windows/Fonts but do not work in our applications.

Windows 8 (as well as Windows Vista and Windows 7) should be fully compatible with all Adobe OTF (OpenType) fonts as well as Type 1 fonts.
Note that Type 1 fonts require two files per font, the .PFB file with the fonts' outlines and the .PFM file with the fonts' metrics. Such fonts are installed by right-clicking the .PFM file and selecting Install. Note that the .PFB file must be in the same directory as the .PFM file for the installation to work.
Assuming that you have the fonts already installed, they should work with all classic Windows applications. However the Type 1 fonts are not recognized by Windows WPF applications as well as those explicility written for Windows 8's new so-called modern application interface. Applications such as Visio have not supported Type 1 fonts in years. We also know that a bug in Windows causes Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10 to hang if they call for a font that has the same name as a Type 1 font you have installed.
Perhaps you provide more information about what fonts you have installed with what applications that don't work or are not recognized?
