Font file loading sequence

In windows, the font files are located in acrobat reader's resouce directory and windows's fonts directory. From which directory does the Adrobat Reader search corresponding font file first? acrobat reader one or windows one?
Thanks

try using:
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
myFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, cl.getResourceAsStream("myFont.ttf:);

Loading sequence physical fonts

Hi guys,
I have one concern=> Please can somebody explain the loading sequence of physical fonts.
Why do I ask?
I wrote some JUnit tests where I compare the current rendering output with an reference image.
Some tests draw a text with the Lucida Sans font-family and their different styling options. (PLAIN, BOLD, ITALIC, BOLD&ITALIC)
The JUnit tests will be executed on different machines (Windows 7 x64 - SP1 - GERMAN, JDK 7u45 x64) and on the build server (Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 - ENGLISH, JDK7u45 x64) and my problem is now that the results between the Windows 7 machines and the server are not equal.
I've found already the reason for this=> the loading sequence of the physical fonts is different.
used physical fonts on the Windows 7 machine (GERMAN):
Lucida Sans [PLAIN] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
Lucida Sans [ITALIC] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD_ITALIC] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.tt
used physical fonts on the Windows 2008 server (ENGLISH):
Lucida Sans [PLAIN] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
Lucida Sans [ITALIC] - C:\Windows\Fonts\lsansi.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD_ITALIC] - C:\Windows\Fonts\lsansdi.ttf
Now my questions:
1. Why loads the Windows Server 2008 the windows native font if the style is ITALIC?
2. Am I right that the following behaviour is the typical loading sequence?
-> physical fonts in JAVA_HOME\lib\font
-> physical fonts in the OS directory
3. Is there a possibilty/ VM property which allows me to change the loading sequence ? So that the VM preferes the fonts in the OS directory instead of the physical font?
Thank you for your help!!
Regards,
Steve

Sample Code:
public class TestPhysicalFonts
private enum Style
PLAIN,
BOLD,
ITALIC,
BOLD_ITALIC;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, NoSuchFieldException, SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException, NoSuchMethodException, InvocationTargetException
Method getFont2DMethod = Font.class.getDeclaredMethod("getFont2D");
getFont2DMethod.setAccessible(true);
Field platName = PhysicalFont.class.getDeclaredField("platName");
platName.setAccessible(true);
// String[] fontNamesToTest = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
String[] fontNamesToTest = new String[] { "Lucida Sans" };
try (OutputStream outputStream = Files.newOutputStream(Paths.get("C:\\physicalFonts.txt"));
PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(outputStream))
for (String fontFamily : fontNamesToTest)
for (Style style : Style.values())
Font font = new Font(fontFamily, style.ordinal(), 10);
Font2D font2d = (Font2D) getFont2DMethod.invoke(font);
if (font2d instanceof PhysicalFont)
PhysicalFont physicalFont = (PhysicalFont) font2d;
printStream.println(String.format("%s [%s] - %s", font.getName(), style.name(), platName.get(physicalFont)));
UPDATE:
1. If I doesn't execute the sample code from eclipse, than I get the same result as on the server... that means ....
Lucida Sans [PLAIN] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
Lucida Sans [ITALIC] - C:\Windows\Fonts\lsansi.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD_ITALIC] - C:\Windows\Fonts\lsansdi.ttf
2. If I set the default Locale to ENGLISH, than I get the same result as in eclipse... that means ...
Lucida Sans [PLAIN] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
Lucida Sans [ITALIC] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansRegular.ttf
Lucida Sans [BOLD_ITALIC] - C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\fonts\LucidaSansDemiBold.tt

How to create an xml to load swf files in sequence?

hello everyone
I'm new in web design... I know how to animate in flash, using timeline, frames, layers, twins and so on... But I want to move forward so I want to create a xml to load swf files in sequence and in loop. Each swf file has 8 seconds.You can see the example here in www.cm-seixal.pt.
I'm not a programmer but I understand how actionscript works... I hope you can help me
Cheers!

you can use the urlloader class to load your xml file. use the loader's complete event and the loader's data property to retrieve the data in your xml file.

Loading font file in JWS. Urgent: please help!

Hi everybody,
I have my own font file which I use in the GUI. First I create the font:
     myFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,           new FileInputStream("myfont.ttf"));
and then I use it specifying the size:
     textbox.setFont(myFont.deriveFont(18f));
This works when I run it from command line, but the above line gives me a nullPointerException from java web start.
I tried to use ClassLoader just like i do it to load images:
     ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
and do cl.getResource("myfont.ttf").
But the problem is getResource() returns URL, but FileInputStream does not allow it in the constructor.
So I tried:
     cl.getResource("myfont.ttf").getPath() and feed that into constructor of FileInputStream but still no luck.
Does anyone have an idea abt what I should do?
Thanks so much,
yulduz

Programatically select a step in a sequence in a sequence file loaded in TestStand sequence editor using C#

Hi all,
I have written C# code to load a sequence file dynamically in TestStand Sequence editor. The code is as follows...
myEngine.PostUIMessage(mySequenceContext.Execution, mySequenceContext.Thread, UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_OpenWindows, 0, null, mySequenceFile, true );
The code is working fine and I could view the Sequence file opened in TestStand Sequence editor.
Now, I wish to select one sequence in the opened sequence file to get the details of the sequence programatically. In other words, I want to simulate a mouse click to a sequence and view the steps associated with that sequence.
Can anybody give some clues...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Also I am getting error like "Index out of range. Source: TSUISUPP.SelectedSteps at NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.UI.Support.SelectedSteps.AddStep(Step val)". Error code: "-17500; Operation Failed." My code is like
mySequenceFile = myEngine.GetSequenceFileEx(@"D:\dynamic loaded sequence.seq", 0, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_UseGlobalType);
mySequence = mySequenceFile.GetSequenceByName("First");
Step myStep = mySequence.GetStep(2, StepGroups.StepGroup_Main);
SequenceContext mySequenceContext = mySequenceFile.NewEditContext();
mySequenceContext .AsPropertyObject();
myEngine.PostUIMessage(mySequenceContext .Execution, mySequenceContext .Thread, UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_OpenWindows, 0, null, mySequenceFile, true);
ApplicationMgr applicationMgr = (ApplicationMgr)myEngine.GetInternalOption(InternalOptions.InternalOption_ApplicationManager);
SequenceFileViewMgr sequenceFileViewMgr = (SequenceFileViewMgr)applicationMgr.GetSequenceFileViewMgr(mySequenceFile);
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSequences.Clear();
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSequences.AddSequence(mySequence);
sequenceFileViewMgr.SelectedSteps.AddStep(myStep);
I am sure that my Sequence selected in the Sequence file loaded has more than 2 steps. Please help me in solving this problem and that in the previous post.
Thanks,

[TS 41] UI Auto Load Sequence Files

Hi All
I had a labVIEW UI that could load a sequence file when opened (user could change sequence file at run-time).
However, when shifting TestStand from 4.0 to 4.1 (and LabVIEW from 8.5 to 8.6).
The VI still could load the sequence but all the TestStand activex control buttons are disabled so user could not
run the loaded sequence files. I have no idea why this happen and guess it's about TS API changes from 4.0 to 4.1.
So how do I need to modify my code to achieve this? (I know we could use command line but I'd prefer the feature
built-in). I attached my UI (TestStand User interface.vi) and a seququence as a zip file below.
Thank you

Kirika -
The only thing that would cause the UI controls to be disable is if there is no currently logged in user or if the logged in user has limited privileges. So check the settings on the User Manager tab of the Station Option dialog box between the two instances of TestStand that you are comparing. Are they the same, and if not, what is different? Options include enabling Automatically Login Windows System User and create a default user for yourself. You might try disabling Check User Privileges and leave Require User Login empty, but I think there is a known issue where the \run and \runEntryPoint command-line arguments are ignored when no user is logged in.

Font Book won't remove font files

I've been doing some testing with Font Book in hopes to replace Suitcase for font management. I've been testing on OS X 10.4.5 with Font Book 2.0.2.
I have FB prefs setup with User as the default install location. Getting fonts installed works fine. To simplify for testing I'm just using one source folder with one family of fonts in it. So I drag the source folder into the FB window where I have created a collection called Temp.
The font files are copied into ~/Library/Fonts, just as they should be, and are now available to the system. When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
According to all documentation I've read, that is not the expected behavior. When Remove Fonts is used within FB, the font files should be moved to the trash.
In addition, since the font files are being left in ~/Library/Fonts, if I try to add the same source folder back into FB, nothing happens, they just simply do not load. If I manually remove the lingering fonts from ~/Library/Fonts I am then able to add the source folder again.
So it appears that FB is not functioning as advertised. I've confirmed this on two separate machines running 10.4.5 and also with one running 10.3.9.
Any ideas what's up or am I missing something here?

"When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
Where are you selecting the font, from within the "All Fonts" collection, or within the "Temp" collection? If you've selected it from within your Temp collection, "Remove" only removes the font from the collection, not from your installed fonts. To remove the fonts from your installed fonts, you need to select them from within the All Fonts collection.
I think what you might want to do rather than create a collection is to create an actual "Temporary" font library. In Font Book, select the All Fonts collection so that the focus is in the leftmost column and choose "New Library" from the action menu. Name it "Temporary" (or whatever else you'd like) and then hit enter. Notice it's listed above the dividing line which separates libraries on the top with collections on the bottom. Now, drag your folder of fonts from the Finder onto the "Temporary" library icon in Font Book. NOTE: A reference to the fonts will be added to Font Book; the fonts themselves are not copied but remain where they are in the Finder and are activated or deactivated from there. Now, whether you select the fonts from within the All Fonts library or the Temporary library, the "Remove" command will remove the fonts from Font Book. (Since the fonts remained in their original location, when they're removed from Font Book they're not moved to the Trash; rather, the reference to them is simply removed from Font Book).
Hope this helps....

if it is right or wrong can u explain and send me about excel file format.
babu

Hi Babu,
The file format should be same as you want to upload. The sequence of File format should be same communication structure.
Like,
Initial columns with Characteristics (ex: plant,location,customer,product)
date column (check for data format) (ex: calander)
Last columsn with Key figures (history qty)
Hope this helps.

On JSF Page load UI components loading sequence

Hi All,
I have some questions about the UI components loading sequence on the JSF page load.
When a JSF page loads it loads its UI components which have a sequence of getters and setters declared in the backing bean of that jspx page.
Qustion 1: How these getters and setters in backing bean work in loading the jspx page?
Question 2: How this backing bean is related to the Page Definition file for the page loading?
Question 3 (main query): What is the sequence of the getters and setters. Means, if i drop 3 UI components, 1 input text, then a command button and then an output text, then they are accordingly declared in backing bean. On page load first i/p texts getter gets called, then setter, then command button's and theno/p texts, in these sequence.
But can i manipulate their sequence of loading. If yes then how it can be possible?

Answer 1: Getters and Setters in bean normally will be bounded to ui component's properties in jspx page, when jspx page loads these getters get called through introspection and setters gets called when a request is submitted.
Answer 2: Backing bean and page definition are two different entities and they are no way related unless you have a data control for the backing bean and have bindings for those methods in page definition file
Answer 3: The sequence of getters and setters depends on the order of the components they bounded to in jspx page. components in jsf page gets loaded from top to bottom so the getter bound to the top component gets called first and the getter bound to bottom component gets called last.
The only way to change the sequence of getter methods getting called is to just change the order of the components they bound to in jspx page.
Usually, it is not suggested to put business logic inside getters and setters, where you have action and actionlisteners for the same. If you follow that, you don't need to worry of the sequence of getters and setters execution

How to manage variables in dynamically loaded sequence

Variables in dynamically loaded sequence files are not managed properly.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Unpack attached zip file
2. Launch TestStand Sequence Editor
3. Add directory of unpacked files to Search Directories list (Configure>>Search Directories...)
4. Set Station Model to unpacked "UpdatedSequentialModel.seq" (Configure>>Station Options...; Model tab in TestStand Sequence Editor)
5. Load unpacked "A.seq" sequence file (File>>Open Sequence File.. in TestStand Sequence Editor)
6. Check "Execute>>Break on First Step"
7. Run "Test UUTs"
8. When execution breaks, note the following:
a) "Locals.SomeVar" contain "The value, which stored in the file" instead of "New value"
b) Although actual running sequence file is "B.seq", the tab title is: "Test UUTs - A.seq"
Try also:
1. To examine "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.Seq["MainSequence"].Locals.SomeVar" variable, when breakpoint is set at <End Group> of PreUUT of Station Model "UpdatedSequentialModel.seq".
2. Open unpacked "B.seq" sequence file in TestStand Sequence Editor and repeat all the checks
Additional info:
1. I use TestStand 4.0.0.326
2. Attached Process Model file "UpdatedSequentialModel.seq" is original "SequentialModel.seq" with only one step "UpdateClientSequence" added in PreUUT.
3. The source of mentioned above new added step is attached as well.

Kristen,
"Why I architect "My application" this way?"
"My application" is intended to serve significant amount of test stations and products. Each product is represented by its own test sequence file.
"My application" and client sequence files are independent products. Client sequence files are responsible for products testing, while "My application" is responsible for common tasks.
Process Model is most pertinent place to perform common tasks (common for all test stations and for all products).
Providing supplemental sequence file just to perform SequenceCall, is completely unnatural.
Moreover, if using SequenceCall, I see no way to update local variables of new launched sequence file, before it starts to execute (step 5 of "Message 3 of 4").
Thus, the solution, which you propose, cannot satisfy our factory requirements.
Back to my questions.
1. Is something wrong with the way, which I implement the task?
2. Is it possible to implement my task using NI TestStand?
3. Is my problem caused by incorrect usage of "edit copy" and "runtime copy" of the variable? TestStandReferenceManual says:
"Built-in properties of steps and sequences are flagged to be shared at run time. For these shared properties, TestStand does not create a unique run-time copy, but instead references the edit-time copy. Any changes to the run-time reference of these built-in properties edits the original Step or Sequence object in the sequence file."
The variable, which we discussing is not Built-in property.
4. If previous correct, how differentiate between "edit copy" and "runtime copy" of the variable?
thanks.misha

CC Feature: denying installation of font files

For years now I've been using a program called AMP Font Viewer. It temporarily installs fonts onto the operating system upon request, and removes them upon quitting the program.
It is super beneficial when you work on multiple projects with various typefaces, because the program allow the operating system to stay clean of project font files, keeping programs' loading time to a minimum, in a clean operating environment.
Before CC, this program worked perfectly while Adobe's programs were running.
CC, however, is preventing this program from running properly. When attempting to use AMP Font Viewer, the mouse cursor becomes a spinning loading icon, AMP Font Viewer goes ghostly white, and is unable to perform its job.
To regain the control of installing temporary font files, I must kill all Adobe apps, i.e. Creative Cloud Client, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc. (but not necessarily background services).
For me this issue is a major setback and an unpleasant surprise.
I urge Adobe to avoid from locking up resources that users (alongside with the system) may need, and keep them available for other uses too.

Have you considered that the issue may actually be with the font tool not being compatible with how CC handles fonts (TypeKit and so on?). Sorry, but this seems to be a somewhat pointless complaint, given the circumstances - the program you are using is pretty old and seems to have not been updated since like forever.

Font files corrupted via smb Win 2003 Storage Server

Files are accessed on a Windows 2003 Storage Server via smb.
I just received a "re-furbished" 27" iMac with Mac OS 10.8.2 installed. Any and all folders on the network containing Postscript font files show those files as grayed out. It appears to be limited to just Postscript fonts, NOT Truetype (.tt) or OpenType (.otf) fonts. It appears something is not recognizing the resource fork portion of the files (is it because they have no file extension?).
All other Macs on the network running older versions of the OS do NOT have a problem accessing Postscript Font files.
I'm just an end user looking for information I can pass along to our Network IT folks who apparently have limited Mac knowledge.
Any and all advice and/or technical resources would be greatly appreciated.

I do greatly appreciate the info in the "Font Management in OS X" article, but this does not begin to address the problem I tried to describe above.
The fonts in question reside in job folders on a network, running Windows Storage Server 2003 software and Mac users access those files via smb.
As needed, those fonts are copied from the network location to the application's font folder or to a local hard drive for loading via Suitcase Fusion. The activation of these fonts is NOT the problem. The font files, (specifically Postscript Font files), are marked as corrupted BEFORE they can be copied and activated.
This issue came about ONLY after I connected my new 27" iMac running OS 10.8.2 to the server. All other Mac users running older versions of the Mac OS did not have any issues, until the new Mac was thrown in the mix. Something in the Mac OS 10.8.2 or on the server is not recognizing the resource fork portion of the Postscript font files.
Once the folders containing Postscript fonts have been accessed by the Mac running OS 10.8.2, those fonts are then "corrupted," meaning any other users can no longer load those fonts as needed, because they are grayed out.
To underscore the significance of this issue, please understand that this is a prepress production workstation. The iMac was added because we could not install Adobe's CS6 Suite on existing hardware. Because of these issues, I can only use the new Mac to open InDesign CS5.5 and/or CS6 source files provided by customers, I then export an .idml file and work the job on my older "stable" Mac running Adobe's CS5 Suite.
So I hope you can come to understand that access to the exact versions of fonts used to create print production files is critical. Any substitution of fonts results in countless additional hours spent verifying that text wraps match previously printed samples exactly.
Few things are more frustrating than not having confidence in the integrity of files stored on one's own network. This is compounded by the fact that the "IT" function was outsourced to our company's headquarter's (offsite) years ago where the "IT" people seem to have minimal high-end knowledge of Macs.
Any other OS 10.8.2 users out there having this particular problem? Any other ideas?

Custom fonts not loading while Edge Animation inside an iFrame

Hi can someone help me with this strange problem? Custom fonts, specifically, Typekit fonts I used in my Edge Animate animation is not loading IE 11 when the animation is inside an iFrame. If you view the animation HTML directly on the browser, the fonts load perfectly fine.
Here is an example where the animation is inside an iFrame and part of a webpage where fonts are not loaded when using IE11.
http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/contact.html
and here is the HTML file directly where fonts and loaded fine in IE 11
http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html
All the other browsers I tested don't have this problem.
Can someone tell me some ways to fix this in IE?

Hi Keith,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. I also saw this issue when I tested your site in Chrome on OS X 10.9, although the fonts worked on reload because they were then cached in the browser.
I suspect the the issue is in the "src" attribute on the iframe:
iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html"
Would you try changing the src to a full path, and see if the fonts load into the iframe?
iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html"
Background: Typekit gets the domain name from the browser referrer and uses it to check that the site matches the listing on your kit. This is one of the security layers to make sure someone can't steal your Typekit fonts and use them on their own site. When loading fonts into an iframe, the iframe referrer needs to match as well.
If the iframe referrer doesn't match or is blank, the behavior is browser-specific. Some browsers will use the referrer of the parent page and so the fonts load, while others don't apply the fonts at all.
Setting the iframe src to the full URL should ensure that a referrer is sent, and may fix this issue.
Please give that a try, and let me know how it goes! Thank you,

How can I get the example fonts from the font file Programmatically?

Hi Friends,
         I am doing one mac application for the fonts management. Now I would like to Preview the Font in the NSTextView. This is my coding for the textView.
    NSTextView *text3=[[NSTextView alloc]initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(250,500,450,30)];
    [text3 setString:@"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"];
    [text3 setFont:[NSFont fontWithName:@"GangofThree" size:40]];
    [[[self window] contentView] addSubview:text3];
Because I have set the string in English for the NSTextView I can't able to view the other languages characters.I got the character set of the font file by using this code.
   NSCharacterSet *characterset = (NSCharacterSet *) CTFontCopyCharacterSet (fontRef);
This Font is greek font.Now My question is how can I able to get the greek characters from this characterset.

Your text string would certainly have to be in Greek itself, not Latin. No normal font just translates Latin letters to Greek, they use other codepoints reserved for Greek letters.
