Font not smooth at printing

Hello all,
Need help!
I need to print some text from a swing application.
My problem is that on printing somme of the letters are not so smooth.
I've tryed using antialiasing but then they become blurry.
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);With the same font (Arial black, 12) in ms word it prints perfectlly.
How to make the text smooth?
I think this is an alread solved question, but I did not found a solution so far.
Lots of thanks
Bogdan

Rumors say that it is absolutely necesary to turn off double buffering before printing ANY Swing/Graphics objects as it will result in VERY long printing time plus bad resolution. If you have many objects you might want to turn double buffering off globally before priting and turn it on afterwards.
RepaintManager currentManager =
RepaintManager.currentManager(c);
currentManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);Afterwards you set it true again.
Always worked fine for me.
Take care,
iFlash

PDF exported from Pages (mountain lion) results in jagged font not smooth

I am using Mac air mid-2012 + Mountain Lion (OS X 10.9.4) + Pages (5.2)
I used Arial - Regular - font 12 pt to write a resume. After I export to PDF the font on pdf looks anti-aliased, jagged not smooth on 100% scale. The font in Pages is ok.
I export the same file to *.doc and opened it with OpenOffice and export to PDF using OpenOffice, the font looks no problem.
I have the option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" option checked in system preferences.
Does anyone have the same issue?

This is a known issue in Pages 5's tables. Pages 5 has been out for 9 months now and there is no sign of Apple fixing the issue.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

Fonts not smooth

Dear all,
Is there a way to enhance the print-out fonts of CF Report
Builder? On the screen it is quite smooth (FlashPaper), but when I
do the printing (to printer or PDF) all characters are not that
smooth.
I use the same font (Arial) and font size on Crystal Report
or Microsoft Word, they give me smooth print-out. It tells me there
is no problem with my printer driver.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Try setting the "scale" property in your <cfdocument>
tag.. That may help...

Fonts not displaying or printing correctly in Firefox 18

I upgraded to Firefox 18 on my MacBook Pro a couple of days ago. Ever since, the fonts, both on display and in print, look rather bad.
-- Anything in bold is blurry on display, and almost impossible to read when printed.
-- All fonts appear smaller, even though my default font size and minimum font size have not changed.
-- I'm using Times for my serif font, but its use seems inconsistent from site to site. The only time font use is consistent is when I switch to Helvetica and/or change the proportional font to sans serif.
I typically leave "Allow pages to use their own fonts" off, because I prefer to read everything in serif. The issue, however, is there whether I leave that setting on or off.
I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Suitcase Fusion 3 to manage fonts.
Any suggestions?

I'm not a Mac user but I've tweak some preferences under my Linux box and now everything looks normal

Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

Try Adobe support, that's not a Firefox support issue.

Calibri font not printing - created with Acrobat XI pro 11.0.4 in Word 2007

Hi, we recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat XI pro (11.0.4) and when we create a PDF in Word using the Calibri fonts, it doesn't print when using Adobe Reader X.
Prints ok when using Quark or other software, just not working with Office.

Thanks for your answer.
We are in a controlled office environment and unfortunately we cannot receive updates due to company policies. We have to wait until they do another "package" with an upgraded version.
It's printing ok with Adobe Reader XI, but not Reader X (which is our actual default Reader). And again they cannot install Reader XI to all (only me since I'm a graphic designer, I have admin rights). We tried on other printers, not working too. Font is embeded too. It's working when using another PDF maker (like we have PDF X Change, it's working). Was working also with our previous Acrobat X Pro.

Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
Error message is :
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
- All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
- the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
The solution :
- to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
- is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
Thx,
Regards

Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
Here are the sections I deleted:
Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
I did leave the entourage settings though.
hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly.

I am currently using Adobe Reader version 9.1.3. When I open certain files, it displays the following message, "Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly". Some fonts are actually missing and will not display when printing. I have tried updating adobe but the problem still persists. Under file properites, the following font TTF5BC9A0t00 is recognised by Adobe as true type and custom encoding. Anyone has any suggestions for fix??
Cheers

BUT, does it say "embedded" or "embedded subset" next to the font name. If not, the font isn't included in the file and if you don't have it, it can't display or print it.
The file creator will need to embed the fonts properly although "some" fonts don't allow embedding. This could be one of them.

Printer fonts not maintained

Hi,
A batch job has failed with the error "No printer fonts maintained for ARCHIXOS"
ARCHIXOS is the device type. However instead of ARCHIXOS being called, it should call device type ZSWINCF, where all the fonts are maintained.
The job calls program RM06ENDR_ALV. This program is used for printing and archiving purchase orders.
1) What changes should I do so that the job does not fail again?
2) How can I rectify the already existing PO's which are refering to the wrong device type?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Mick

Mick,
Following is the procedure we are using to configure and test MICR printer and it's devices:
I hope this will help you to understand the config stuff.
1. Font verification
Once the SIMM/DIMM or Secure Font Module is installed, print the PCL Font List (through the printer control panel) to verify that the module was installed correctly and to verify the escape sequence of the fonts.
2. Creating custom device type
Once it is confirmed that printer is capable of printing MICR font, we need to create custom device type for this printer.
 Execute transaction code SPAD
 Select Full administration button to expand all available options
 Select Device Types tab
 Type HP5MI for Device types and press Display
 Press Change button
 Go to Utilities -> For device types -> Copy device type to ZHP5MI.
 Edit Print Control for the new device type ZHP5MI.
 Scroll down to Print Control for MICR E-13B 10pt which is SF450. (This is device specific)
 In the Control Character Sequence column, enter the hexadecimal escape sequence for the MICR E-13B 10 point of the printer. (This is printer/hardware specific).
The value for current printer hardware is: 1B28384D1B28733070382E30356831302E30763073306231303054
3. Creating new output device
 Execute transaction code SPAD
 Click on Change button
 Click on Create button
 Enter an output device name as Accounting check printer
 Enter newly created device type (ZHP5MI)
 Select default spool server
 Select host spool access method as c: direct operating system call
 Enter host printer as share print name on server (accounting)
 Save the setting.
4. Test MICR font printing
 Execute transaction SO10
 Select SAP script SAPSCRIPT-MICRTEST
 Click on display
 Initiate print for displayed text
 Check out if MICR font is properly printed.
Regards,
Amey

Error Message:"Cannot find or create the font 'WP-MathA'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Who can help me solve this problem?

Hello Anubha,
I am having a similar problem on my machine. I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1. I am using Version 11 of Reader.
When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says: cannot find or create the file Times, Bold. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document. Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print. Can you please help? Thanks.

Not all the fonts get smoothed

http://www.associatedcontent.com/articl … power.html
The headline of the article is not smoothed in my system, other text is smoothed. Why? My .fonts.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
<const>none</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
It's not the only text on Web I meet that is not smoothed. 98% of text has great smoothing, other 2% doesn't have smoothing and looks ugly. How to fix it?

Mr. Alex wrote:The headline of the article is not smoothed
I assume you're missing:

<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable">
<bool>false</bool>
</patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>

<match target="font">
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">

Anyway, see Gentoo fonts thread for the state-of-the-art in font rendering - currently, Infinality's freetype patches.

Fonts in titles not smooth

When I design a title slide, the fonts look smooth. When click the Add button to apply the title, the fonts change to rough. What's going on?

definitely...this is absolutely true. Which is why:
If it's really important to me, I will make a post titles test export in full quality (nowadays called "share", but it's a dippy word for it) AND ALSO...if I am making the movie for a specific purpose, like for my webpage or for specifically putting on YouTube, I will export share a version of my movie in the same settings,size and all that I will ultimately use just to see how it will look. oh yeah, btw, crayon box blue looks bad too. kinda bleedy in smaller sizes. So you have to think-plan-do your projects. seems kind of strange to have to be so left brained in some circumstances where it was so right brained a conception, but this is definitely carefully considered left brained functions and you have to think with the software. Not just expect it to think for you. Though, I suspect that is where the new frontier of iMovie is actually going and I hate it. I like the right brain/left brain harmony of making of movie. It's fun to me.
