Font problem in applications like dmenu and dzen

With urxvt, I can use DejaVu Sans Mono at 16 pixel without any problems, but when I use dmenu or dzen (the problem may not be directly related to those) the font looks strange; it looks like the correct font, but xfontsel revealed that the font can be used but apparently only at 17 pixel and beeing italic. Any idea how that can be solved?

Ignore what xfontsel says. Try the following:
echo "Archlinux is the best!" | dzen2 -fn '-*-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -p
Adjust pixelsize to your liking.

No sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. (Win7, ff 5.1, AdobeFlash 10.3.181.34)

I get no sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. Video is fine.

I'm not sure how related is this with the thing that happened to me but here it goes.
A while ago I couldn't have two applications that can use the audio channels at the same time. For instance, if I had a paused movie with VLC I could play a video on YouTube but with no sound. Is that your case? Or it doesn't work at all?

Integration of third party application like Payware and Bank Wizard

Hi,
We have a scenario in which we are trying to integrate SAP XI 3.0 with 3rd Party application like Payware and Bank Wizard. We wish to know how should we go about doing it.
Payware has Payment Interface card which is used to communicate with SAP R/3. I am not aware how it does that. I wish to know how it can be integrated with SAP XI 3.0.
In case of Bank Wizard any kind of input is welcome.
If anybody can provide some inputs on the same it will be highly appreciated.

Hello
not sure about Payware, but [Unified Software|http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk] has an alternative to Bankwizard that can be easily integrated with SAP via XI/PI or as a simple web service proxy.
See their [SAP Packaged Service|http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk/products/sap/bankvalidator.html] information, or the official [SAP Packaged Service|http://www.sap.com/uk/services/consulting/portfolio/index.html] catalogue (look for UK Bank Validator Packaged service, page 32)
Hope this helps

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

One thing to check: when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

Font problems with RH 7.1 and JDK 1.3.1

Hi there,
I've read all post about this and looked at sun docs on how to add fonts. I've even replaced the fonts.properties with a new one I got from sun's page, but I can't make jdk 1.3.1 load the correct fonts for JDeveloper.
Could anyone post here the steps to do it?
I've also tried JDK 1.4.1 and for the moment everything works but some wizards, which I must run reverting to 1.3.1 JDK.
Thanks,
Ignacio

To be honest, I managed to solve de problem getting the missing font from a Windows system (Ufffffff!!!!!). Now I don't get any font problems with JDK 1.3.1 but I find it very much slower than 1.4.1, and the problem is that JDeveloper wizards get weird in 1.4.1 and work OK in 1.3.1 ... let's hope Oracle releases a 1.4.1 ready JDeveloper soon.
Thanks for your message.

Problem in using LIKE expression and mapping relationship: @OTM / @MTO???

Hi there,
I have 2 entity classes:
@Entity
@Table(name = "DT_KHV_DTL", schema = "DTKB", uniqueConstraints = {})
public class VoucherDtlEnt {
bq.      private String id; \\     private DuAnEnt duAnEnt; \\     //... others
bq.      @Id \\     @Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = false)
bq. public String getId() {
bq. bq. return id;
bq.      } \\     public void setId(String _id) {
bq. bq. this.id = _id;
bq. }
bq.      @ManyToOne(targetEntity = DuAnEnt.class) \\     @JoinColumn(name = "DA_ID")
bq. public DuAnEnt getDuAnEnt() {
bq. bq. return this.duAnEnt;
bq.      } \\     public void setDuAnEnt(DuAnEnt _duAnEnt) {
bq. bq. this.duAnEnt = _duAnEnt;
bq. }
bq. //... others
@Entity
@Table(name = "DT_TTDA_C", schema = "DTKB", uniqueConstraints = {})
public class ProjectEnt {
bq. private String id; \\ //... others
bq.      @Id \\     @Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = false)
bq. public String getId() {
bq. bq. return id;
bq.      } \\     public void setId(String _id) {
bq. bq. this.id = _id;
bq. } \\ //... others
bq.
I want to list details-vouchers which have project id like the search parameter. In SQL this will be: SELECT * FROM DT_KHV_DTL a WHERE a.DA_ID LIKE ?
I've tried in JPQL with this query:
bq. SELECT voucherDtlEnt FROM VoucherDtlEnt voucherDtlEnt WHERE voucherDtlEnt.projectEnt.id LIKE :projectId
Of course it's work but it make a big problem: it will generate a JOIN SQL query like that:
bq. SELECT t0.id ... FROM DT_KHV_DTL t0, DT_TTDA_C t1 WHERE t0.DA_ID = t1.ID AND t1.ID LIKE ?
In my real case, the project number is around 10.000, this generation take me from 0.1s in SQL to minutes in JPQL, even in complex situation, it freeze the application server.
In other case without LIKE, this will be done with:
bq. SELECT voucherDtlEnt FROM VoucherDtlEnt voucherDtlEnt WHERE voucherDtlEnt.projectEnt = :projectEnt
which perform a true SQL:
bq. SELECT t0.id ... FROM DT_KHV_DTL t0 WHERE t0.DA_ID = ?
So, I've tested:
bq. SELECT voucherDtlEnt FROM VoucherDtlEnt voucherDtlEnt WHERE voucherDtlEnt.projectEnt LIKE :projectEnt --> Error cause LIKE expression only apply for String type
bq. SELECT voucherDtlEnt FROM VoucherDtlEnt voucherDtlEnt WHERE voucherDtlEnt.projectEnt LIKE :projectId --> Error cause can't compare 2 dif class: ProjectEnt and String
Have any solution ???
+I'd happy if the generator don't check type String in
the query:+
bq. SELECT voucherDtlEnt FROM VoucherDtlEnt voucherDtlEnt WHERE voucherDtlEnt.projectEnt LIKE :projectEnt
instead just check inserted entity have an Id in String type, so can threat this like the '=' expression case.
bq.

After review, I've found the problem is not in JOIN but stupid generator do one like this:
SELECT t0.id ... FROM DT_KHV_DTL t0,{color:#ff0000} DT_KHV_DTL t2{color}, DT_TTDA_C t1 WHERE t0.DA_ID = t1.ID AND t1.ID LIKE ?
In SQL native query, cause t2 don't identify join column with t0, it will make a big problem that must remove this or just add AND t0.ID = t2.ID
I'm using Oracle Application Server 10.0.1.3 and have any fixed this in newer versions???

Controlling Menu Bars of Windows Applications like IE and Editor with LabVIEW 6

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to develop a vi (LabVIEW 6) which controls menu bars in
Windows Applications (IE, Editor, etc.) like "File-Save As..." or
"View-Source...". I'm pretty sure I've got to use the ActiveX
possibilities in LabVIEW, but I haven't been succesful. Any comments
will help.
Thanks

You can use Win32 API to simulate a key-press (e.g. ctrl-S for Save)
for IE or any window applications, as long as the application has
short cut for menu items, and active.
You can use external code (VC, VB, dephi, etc..) to build DLL, CIN, or
ActiveX, call them in LabVIEW.
I made "Send Keys.vi" in G Toolbox.
If the menu item doesn't has a shortcut, you can send a message (use
spy tool to find out) to the application.

Using Acrobat fonts in other applications like Word?

I tried to read the EULA for Acrobat XI Standard and got nowhere. I have a volume license. My question is, are we allowed to use Acrobat fonts, such as Myriad Pro, in Microsoft Word, for example? Am I permitted to install this font family in Windows Font library for use in other apps if I have Acrobat XI installed on the same machine? If I am allowed, great! If not, how else would I be able to get this font family, especially under volume license? Thanks!
Regards,

Hi John ,
If you have downloaded the specific set of fonts ,you are allowed to use those for various other applications as well .As you are saying you own a volume license you can comfortably use them for other applications.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Stay well.

How can I fix an annoying repeating request for "login" keychain by multiple applications like Safari and AddressBookSourceSink.

This issue arose after upgrading to snow leopard and ultimately to Mavericks. I took my Mac into a Genius Bar to have them look at this issue. We attempted to change the Keychain Password which failed to change the local items password. As a fix we changed the administrator password then changed the keychain. This appeared to be the fix however my Mac was never connected to the Internet while at the Genius Bar. Upon returning home and reconnecting to the Wifi the popups began again.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Sudden quitting of application like internet connection and Solver

there are a couple of issues with my Mac Book Pro-early 2011
1. The modem based internet connection takes almost few minutes to get connected and to open the home page.
2. some applications like Solver and even the internet connection suddenly get disconnected with a message "the app quit unexpectadly"
3. Sometimes the applections won't quit for a while, needs to be forcefully quit.
My Mac software is:
Mac OS X-Lion- 10.7.3
Kindly provide the needed help
Regards
Jagannath

When you're waiting for something to quit, open up activity monitor (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app), click the 'CPU' column (click it twice if necessary, you want the arrow/triangle pointing downwards) and find the name of the process that's eating up all the CPU.
Post its name here and we'll tell you what to do next.

Strange system font problem

Hello,
I have the following problem for 2 days now:
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1462/bild1.png
I did not install anything. I tried to delete font caches but it did not help.
I re-installed the system but that did not change anything. After resetting the PRAM the problem was solved. At least for some hours, but now the problem appeared again.
When I do a reboot, strange white lines appear over the grey background and the Apple Logo, then the screen turns blue, the cursor consists of white lines too and nothing more happens. After several tries to reboot the Mac is running again, but the font problem still exists.
First I thought of a graphic card problem, but it seems that this font problem only concerns system prefernces and system applications.
I have no idea what to do now, so please help me.

Hi "Apfelkrautsalami"
Font caching information is stored on a per-user basis in
/private/var/folders
I have no idea if it'll help, but you could try this:
- Open a Terminal and do
*sudo rm -rf -- /private/var/folders/??*
- Restart your machine
(Note 1: The '--' prevents rm to think that folders like '-5' are options)
(Note 2: The '??' will match any two-letter directory. I didn't want to say '*')

MAJOR FONT PROBLEM - GREEK FONTS - GREEK SYSTEM

Dear All
I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be able to use Greek fonts. Recently upgraded to OSX Version 10.4.3
However I'm facing major font problems in applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida Grande function properly.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
This only applies to OSX Tiger. Panther seemed to be working fine for this, in Freehand.
I work as a graphic designer and it is very frustrating when I'm only limited to very few greek fonts even on a GREEK SYSTEM!!!
By the way: I tried all suggested methods on the forum such as: Greek keyboard layouts, verifying permissions, switching to System Greek Language, reinstalling Illustrator etc..
Is there anything else that i can do?
Pls help.. !

I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized
reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be
able to use Greek fonts.
Generally speaking, for problems with Rainbow's stuff you need to consult Rainbow. Apple itself does not produce a localized Greek system or the special add-ons that Rainbow provides to let you use non-Unicode Greek with older apps.
However I'm facing major font problems in
applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For
example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida
Grande function properly.
For an app like this you probably need to use Unicode Greek fonts. Those that come with Tiger are Lucida Grande, Helvetica, and Times. If you have MS Office 2004, you can also use Arial and Times New Roman and maybe Verdana from that app. Plus modern Adobe fonts like Myriad or Minion Pro. I suspect that legacy non-Unicode fonts will not work.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek
fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled
when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
I think Freehand is non-Uncode and probably needs the older fonts.
For problems with Adobe and Macromedia apps, you might also want to ask in their forums:
