We are developing framework application and we have to give release for jdk 1.5 version but it is giving font difference.
Please resolve this issue because it is very urgent and critical.
this is not our framework problem i have developed one below simple application and compiled it in jdk 1.4 and 1.5 it is showing font difference.
Fonts like times new roman and arial etc are coming in bolder manner means more width but height and style is same.
i have snapshot also but i am not able to paste becasue editor is not accepting images.

Please help me

No sir
my problem is still not solved
see you told that try with Font.BOLD
so i tried below code
jLabel1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Times New Roman",Font.BOLD,50));
now if you compile above statements in jdk 1.4 and 1.5 you will notice big difference in fonts
so what is the solution of this??
why fonts are appearing in different manner one is more bold in 1.5 and other is not that much bold
one thing i found is that character width is different for 1.4 and 1.5 may be due to this it is coming in different manner.i am not sure this is correct.
so give me solution according to jdk why in above case font are different even id i am not going to use magic number and one thing i found is that when we use Font.PLAIN it is showing same font in both 1.4 and 1.5
so please help me

[SOLVED] Bold monospace fonts and rendering

Hi everybody,
I chose to use the Inconsolata font (http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html) everywhere I need a monospace font.
However I have an issue with this setup. Since Inconsolata font doesn't have a bold variant, when "bolding" it, it gets rendered with a different width (it's not monospace anymore)
This happens, for example, inside an Eclipse editor or even in gEdit.
I've also noticed that in some applications (e.g., gnome-terminal or x-chat), bold is correctly displayed using the same width of the normal variant.
I've read the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration page and, in particular, the "disable autohinter for bold fonts". I actually don't use the auto-hinter so I tried different configuration but without luck.
Does anyone have an hint for solving this inconsistency?
Thanks.
P.S.: To better understand what I am talking about you can have a look at this image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/85 … olata.png/

If the app doesn't use fontconfig, then changing fontconfig settings won't help
That's clear. But gnome-terminal and gEdit aren't they supposed to use the same backend, i.e., fontconfig?
Because gnome-terminal works fine. gEdit doesn't.
Thanks.

Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
Some facts:
- Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
- Already did a reset to defaults
I'm using the latest version of Firefox

IWeb 3.0.4- missing fonts –Arial MT and Arial BOLD

When using iWeb 3.0.4 I'll get the missing two fonts –Arial MT and Arial BOLD– error messages on every single page. This font is NOT in use and I don't have a working version as replacement on my font folder. I don't want to buy it to get rid of the problem. Anybody knows how can i get ride of those without using pacifist ? Thanks.

I believe those fonts are Microsoft fonts. Do you have MS Office or any other MS software installed?
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder. - you've already tried this.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
It is now generally acknowledged that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Need text to be more Bold

Is there away to set the Text default to make the text more Bold?

Maybe you can use a default font that is bolder.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

4) When my computer crashes, once it starts again, it says "repairing" ... but I am not familiar with reparing permissions -- can you explain how I might do that?
If you are running OS X Lion, then you can restart your computer and then press and hold the 'Option' key immediately after you hear the start up 'gong' (usually heard when grey screen shows as it restarts).
You should see at least two Disks to choose from. Choose 'Recovery Disk' and wait for it to load, then choose 'Disk Utility' option in the Utilities dialog.
Once Disk Utility loads, do the following:
1 - In the left hand pane, choose your system partition (usually called either 'Macintosh HD' or 'Macintosh SSD'). Note - don't choose the actual hard drive listed above the partition when using Disk Utility in OS X Lion as this doesn't offer options for repairing due to it including the Recovery Disk you have loaded in memory.
2 - Click the 'First Aid' tab
3 - Click the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button in lower portion of main pane and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message in main pane saying Disk Permissions are repaired.
4 - At lower right of same pane, click the 'Repair Disk' button and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message indicating that Disk Repair is completed and all appears to be good.
5 - Quit Disk Utility > Close Utilities dialog window > Click 'Restart' button (confirm as needed).
You should boot straight into the system partition when complete.
Note - any red text in the main pane text while running the repairs will be issues and you will need to follow the advice given or post back.
If you are running Snow Leopard; then (as David mentions) boot from your first OS X reinstall disc and run the Disk Utility the same way; except you select the actual hard drive listed at top of left pane (not the partition below it). This is because Snow Leopard does not use a 'Recovery Disk' partition and repairs can be run on the HD or SSD itself.
Hope that helps.

"One or more cartridges appear to be damaged"

I purchased my office jet 8620 last Oct 29 from the Office Depot in Niles, IL (#3242). It worked very well until the original ink cartridges (set up) needed to be replaced. I removed the old ones, installed the new ones using HP cartridges and after a couple minutes the screen on the machine displayed this message:
""One or more cartridges appear to be damaged. Remove them and replace with new cartridges."
I assumed that the brand new cartridges were defective so I returned them and bought new ones but I am getting the same message, and the printer won't print anything.
I went through this checklist (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600-e-All-in-One-Printer-series---N9/4322914/m... and spoke with HP customer service by phone. The tech never offered to replace the pinhead assembly - instead, she suggested that I contact the Office Depot store in Niles and return the entire thing.
Now the store manager tells me he won't replace the unit because it is past the 6 month purchase date, but did offer to "take a look" at the cartridge carriage and heads to make sure they're okay.
Can an HP rep inform me what my next step should be? Recontact Tech support?
Thanks,
Mike M.

What cartidges are you replacing? 932/933 or 950/951. I have an 8600, approximately 2 years old where the printer ran fine on 932/933 but now insists on 950/951.

If that only happens on a specific page or domain then make sure that you do not block images on that domain.
See [[Images or animations do not show]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of that "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

Appearance using Yosemite

I've just recently migrated to Yosemite from Snow Leopard and I don't like the way things look on my Samsung monitor. Specifically, the contrast between white and black is poor, eg. in System Preferences, the icon for the Mouse is barely visible as it's white on white with a thin black outline. The lines between sections in Mail and in Safari are too faint. The box around fields where you enter text is barely visible. The monitor is the same. I tried a different monitor and it didn't help.
I've played around with System Preferences, etc. to try and get back to the more pleasing appearance that I had under Snow Leopard to no avail. I've tried adjusting the monitor contrast, color, etc. and that didn't help with the problem and made colours look worse. Changing the Appearance for Button, Menus and Windows (in System Preferences) doesn't seemm to differ regardles of choosing Blue or Graphite. The highlight colors in System Preferences appear faint but in the actual highlighted fields they are much brighter.
One difference from before (other than Yosemite versus Snow Leopard) is that the interface to the monitor (which has a DVI connection) is using HDMI whereas before I used the Display Port. The interface cable is an Apple connector in both cases. Could the Display Port offer a solution? This may seem like a minor issue but it is frustrating.

Thanks for the help.
I bought an iMac with Yosemite on it a few months ago and the problem only started in the past couple weeks. If it is related to Yosemite, then it is specific to 10.10.3, since I updated to that recently.
I don't have any other plugins installed for Illustrator. I've never heard of Pushbullet.
I did try rebuilding the preferences folder already.
I'm currently rebuilding the template file I use for my maps, revising a version of it that I was using before this problem arose. If that makes a difference then I might be able to point to that file as being the problem. We'll see...

Fonts Not Rendering Properly in Photoshop Elements 11

For some odd reason, Elements stopped rendering my fonts properly. For instance, if I use an old standby like Rage Italic, the lettering is not smooth rather choppy like an old System type font. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but nothing seems to work. I also reset the tools and still nothing.

I'm not experiencing your problems but the Standard font in Safari is set to Times 16 and Fixed-width font is set to Courier 13.
See if that helps.

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP Host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver! I use BlueHost webhosting that has a primary domain and I have several domains with that account (as sub-domains or folders on this server) - with past versions of Muse when uploading pages it simply opened an alert window to tell me (what I already know) that the website I was uploading does not point to the primary domain BUT NOW Muse tries to create a new separate folder in the root directory of the primary domain - completely ignoring the directory path I am giving it - useless! Why make these senseless changes to the program - and so often - very frustrating it is like amateur ware!.

Hi Stephen,
There are some issues with the upload to ftp via Muse, which the engineering team is aware of and those will be fixed in a future build of Muse. At this point the work around would be to export the html from Muse and then upload via some third party ftp client like filezilla.
I will recommend that you keep an eye on our release notes page to get more updates on it - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC
