Font issue on large monitor

I am developing an application which will be displayed on a large (42 inch) monitor when used. when viewed on the monitor, all the text on the screen appears to have a "white shadow" which causes it to look blurry from more than a few feet away. It looks like some sort of aliasing issue.
I have tried variuos fonts and styles, but it is always there. Does anyone know how to fix this?
TIA

It is difficult to tell without seeing a picture....
How do you connect to the display? (VGA, HDMI, component, S-video, composite, etc.)
Are you using the native resolution of the monitor or is there some scaling/interpolation happening on the device?
What is the monitor technology. For example don't use cleartype on DLP displays, that would not make sense.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

    I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

    I still don’t have a clue…
    So far we’re the only 2 reporting this

  • Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?

    Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook.  I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth.  This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
    when playing out.  Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!!  Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi Julius,
    As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
    Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
    Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
    Peace,

  • Font issue in Acrobat 8

    We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
    Thanks

    I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
    When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
    If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
    When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
    This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
    Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
    Thanks

  • My iphone 5's font gets unusably large

    Occasionally my iphone 5's screen font gets really large.  So large that I can't access the slide to shut it off.  It is as though the screen gets magnified.  It requires a reboot to get it back to normal.  Anyone else having this issue?  What is the problem?

  • What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac

    What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac?

    It is not so much how large but rather a question of resolution and how it would look on a larger monitor than the original.
    All iMac G4 15-inchers supported: 640x480; 800x600; and 1024x768 at a fixed 4:3 ratio--no provision for widescreen. The old rule of thumb for decent clarity for 4:3 ratio CRT monitors was:
    15-inch monitor supports 640x480
    17-inch supports 800-x600
    19 to 20 inch supports 1024x768
    I believe you would find the same issues with an older 4:3 flat-panel monitor.
    Also the iMacs can only mirror the resolution set on the built-in monitor so you can't have the external one set differently nor use it for extended desktop. If you set the built-in to 640x480 (would look nice at 15 inches) you are going to get 640x480 on the external regardless of how big it is. On a 19-20 incher, 640x480 could start to look pixelated.

  • Imac and ipad 2?? or laptop and larger monitor?

    I am planning to get a new computer (currently using a 6yr old imac PPC and an old 15" TPB, both running quite happily but unable to do some things I want ;-)  I am leaning towards a 21.5 imac and an ipad2.  The imac will obviously be my major work center for photo editing, quicken (which I know is an issue with Lion) documents, etc.
    I have a few questions, and if in the end, I need to cut this email up and post in more than one place, I will.  But I thought I'd start here.
    Currently I am using Microsoft office but considering going with pages and numbers.  I've heard Apple has improved how well they 'play' with microsoft documents so I hope that is true.  I live in Seattle so supporting Microsoft, a major employer in my area, is something I am ok with, to some degree, but I like the idea of using a native program with a new computer IF it works well.  This may be better in another forum, if so, just let me know.
    I am wondering if anyone has this set up, the imac and the ipad for mobility and if so, are you happy with it?  I've played with the ipad in the store many times but that isn't the same as sitting on your couch or going to the library or coffee house (I said I live in Seattle ;-)  and using it.  Are they any things you find that you wish it did?
    The other idea is getting a powerbook and a 2nd larger monitor so I can move the powerbook around.  But I know of a few people who get tired of unplugging the laptop so they don't move it as much as they thought they would. 
    The imac - ipad set up seems like it gives me good options, but I wanted to check in here to see what other users might say?  Maybe this should get posted in the ipad forum.. but then I might be told to post here, as I ask about the imac.  LOL
    So thanks for any thoughts you can give me and gentle directions if there is a better way to ask my related questions to different aspects of my planned purchase.

    1) I use iWork for about 90% of my work and it is true that Office and iWork are compatible but that doesn't mean they are identical. The biggest problem is with lost formatting between Word and Pages documents and some incompatibilities between PowerPoint and KeyNote. If you do a good deal of sharing Office files with colleagues/friends then you may want to keep Office around - especially if your files aren't of the 'plain vanilla' variety.
    2) I have an iMac (aging 24"), a newish 13" MBP, and an iPad 2. That iMac will probably be the last desktop I own. I use my MBP more than the iMac and with an external display, keyboard and mouse it is just as usable. There are times when sitting in a chair or on the couch with the notebook works just fine and there are other times when a desk works better. At a desk, at least for me, the display and keyboard aren't at the right height for comfort so I have no problem with plugging in the external display. The mouse and keyboard being BT just need to wake up.
    3) Now for the hard/controversial part. Could you use an iPad instead of a notebook for mobility. For me the answer is a firm maybe . It is great for surfing, reading email, checking the news and so forth. I find the virtual keyboard so/so for writing. I'll answer a couple emails and take some notes with it. I'm not going to write a report with it. If I were answer your question with the iPad my answer would be much shorter. However, I have taken it instead of my MBP on a couple short business trips. It and a BT keyboard worked great at the hotel and it certainly was more convenient to lug around than the MBP. This is one of those YMMV things and you probably won't know the answer until you've bought the iPad and tried it.

  • PDF Format Oracle Reports font issue

    My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
    Their key map is:
    Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
    My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS ser is generating and saving the report in the specified location.Reports are running on the server locally and DESTYPE=FILE. So the Oracle Reports output is saved on the server itself. Whenever i open the report on my machine/server i have font issue. Some of the reports has very tiny font. It seems the reports generated by using oracle reports which is Arial Unicode font type is causing the problem. If any reports other then Arial Unicode font like Arial Westrn, those reports are fine. We have 1000s of reports. So we don't want to change each report font type. For me it seems the issue is with the font on the server. Is there anyway to ask App server use Arial Westrn if Arial Unicode not found. How to make these configuration changes in the server. Any suggestions please.

    Maybe this helps or at least points you in some direction ...
    Have a look at font aliasing when configuring Application Server : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_font.htm#i1006140
    If your Application Server is located on Windows I would suggest to install the fonts there.
    In Unix, this a more complex task.

  • 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

  • ICal Print List Hang / Font Issue / Sync Problems...

    Okay, here's a couple issues all wrapped up into one thread/post - reason is cause I suspect they may all be tied together somehow, but am not sure.
    Sync Problems...
    Regarding the Syncing problems, you can find an ongoing thread about @ http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?t=1632
    In short, some of us are having issues with events syncing to our Palm to the wrong timezone, causing them to be an hour off (usually within the new & old DST date change). Yes, all the usual fixes have been tried - pls read the thread noting "adairnet" and ymatto" postings.
    Also, in addition to this time issue, I have iCal events that I've deleted in iCal still show up on the Palm after one-way syncing!
    Print List Hang...
    Every week I print a "list" of events from a certain calendar. The past couple weeks I noticed some lines in the notes field printing on top of each other. Twas odd indeed, but I hadn't had the time to look into the reason. Then this week I was going thru my usual printing proceedure and now iCal locks up, hangs up, crashes, forcing me to force-quit the program. It's usually after I extend the dates beyond 2 or 3 days, but I've not been able to find a consistency. I've redone events thinking they were corrupt with no success.
    Font Problems...
    After the Print List issue above, I opened my Console program to see if it was reporting anything. At first it indicated that it could not find Helvetica Neue and would substitute it for Helvetica. This put me in touch with some font corruption - so I got rid of those bad fonts and activated Helvetica Neue which got rid of that message. But made me wonder if there are more font problems causing the print hanging & syncing problems. I have FontAgent Pro and do have some font issues that I'm trying to work out.
    But the Console is displaying another string of messages every time the Print List proceedure hangs up which I cannot figure out...
    2007-04-24 16:24:54.151 iCal[28975] NSATSGlyphStorage inconsistency. Cannot find run storage for character range {138 67} for CTRun 0xDBE87D0. Ignoring the run...
    2007-04-24 16:24:55.175 iCal[28975] -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:] called with out-of-bounds range. For apps linked on Tiger this will raise an exception. For earlier apps it will produce this one-time warning and continue with existing behavior (which is undefined).
    2007-04-24 16:24:55.176 iCal[28975] * NSThread: ignoring exception '* -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:]: Range or index out of bounds' that raised during delayed perform of target 0xdde58d0 and selector 'renderPreview'
    So, all of this is causing me to wonder if the iCal or SyncServices database is corrupt. Is there a way to dig into the iCal db and check for corruption &/or fix it?
    Or does anybody have any further suggestions on any of these issues?
    thanx.jason.

    RedKamel,
    The SyncServices folder should be avoided like "a swarm of bees". This article discusses some of the issues that can arise when the SyncServices folder is deleted or modified:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
    Data loss and Data corruption can result from deleting or modifying the SyncServices folder, and that data loss or corruption can be propogated to devices, .Mac, and other applications that sync with SyncServices.
    If you have isolated an issue with the other steps in your post, I would recomend speaking with AppleCare before removing that folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Acrobat 7 Pro - Comment Summary Font Issue

    We have a situation involving font usage in comments in Acrobat 7 Pro that I hope someone can shed some light on. It will be some time before we can move to version 8 or 9, so the problem is important to us.
    Here's the symptom, then I have a few basic background questions. The text in a Note comment includes a 'less than or equal to' symbol which appears correctly. The problem comes when the comments are summarized to a PDF file or printed. The 'equal to' portion has now disappeared! I first thought that this might be a font issue, but now am unsure.
    My basic questions are:
    What font is Acrobat using when a comment is created? I realize that you can set a preference for which font to use when viewing comments, but apparently not when creating them?
    When a comment summary is created to a PDF file, what determines which font is used in the summary? We have seen cases where the resulting PDF has used Arial or Tahoma or SimSun or.........
    We have had at least one situation where opening the same Acrobat 7 PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro did not exhibit the problem when summarized there. Was this a known issue that was repaired in Acrobat 8?
    Thanks much for any information you can provide.

    Hi David,
    This is a known issue with Acrobat on Mac.
    Please follow the steps mentioned in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html

In Acrobat 7 and 8 the TouchUp Text tool works fine. Please suggest a solution to get rid of this issue in 9 pro and X pro.

    Hi LoriAUC,

    If you want check/analyze the problematic pdf file I can send it as an attachement to your mail ID? if so please let me know your mail ID.
    Please let me know if you need any other details or questions to be clarified regrading this.

  • Font issue in CS4

    I'm trying to figure out if somehow I've messed up a setting or something in my Photoshop CS4.
    I had done some mockup screens for a project and after implementation noticed that my font size and the font being used in the developed course were noticeably different.  I asked about it and was told that it was 11pt, the same as I had used in photoshop.
    I found several conversion charts stating 11pt = 15px so I pulled a selection to measure a letter in my mockup screen and my 11pt was 8 pixels tall where-as when I changed my font size to 15pt the font then measured 11 px tall and matched matched the developed page visually.
    It doesn't seem to matter if I have my unit measurements set to pixels or points the typed font is the same size. 15pt or 15px in the type tool size = 11pt/px when I measure it which is correct but but reversed compared to the conversion charts i've found.
    My source file is 72 dpi. Font is 11pt and measures 8px tall and when set to 15pt it is 11px tall which is the proper ratio but backwards?
    Font being used in my mockup and the developed course is Verdana.
    I am using CS4 Extended in Win 7 Pro if that matters.
    Am I just confusing something here, I'm sure I'm overlooking something pretty simple.
    Thanks,
    ian

    The pixel heights of the fonts depend on the ppi setting metadata.
    To put it succinctly, the fonts will be larger (relative to the image content) if the pixels/inch in the Image - Image Size... dialog is larger.
    That way, when the image is printed at the ppi listed, the fonts will be consistently the right size.
    Hope this helps.
    -Noel
    P.S., if you have already put text in a text layer when you change the PPI of the image using Image - Image Size... you will find the font size will be changed by Photoshop so that the font is still the same size relative to your image data.  The thinking is that you made the text that size to look right in the image, so you wouldn't want it to magically change just because you changed the ppi of the document.

  • PDF Font Issues

    I recently added some new fonts to my directory.  Since then, I have had font issues with my pdf's and previews where the characters are illegible.  I have tried using disabling fonts on Font Book for pdfs, and tried using Font Finagler and FontNuke to clear all font caches.  The problem only seems to effect pdf's.  I am operating on OSX 10.6.7.  Does anyone have any suggestions that might fix this problem. 

    I was getting a "Missing Font" message and the explanation on the forum is that a bug in 10.6.7 caused the OS to UNEMBED fonts in PDF files!
    Don't know who said that, but it's incorrect.
    I built a simple text document with three lines of text. Opened three fonts not on the system, applied one each to a line of text and saved a PDF using Apple's built in PDF generator.
    I then disabled the fonts and deleted them. With no fonts to find and the comment being true that fonts are not embedded, the PDF should display incorrectly. It didn't. I looked exactly as it should, meaning the fonts had to be embedded in the file.
