Font.properties help needed

I have a USA client with several Reports that use fonts “OCR A Extended” and “Wingdings 3”. The OCR A Extended font is being used for a scanline by OCR scanners to call up invoices. They MUST use that font or the scanners don’t work. They are also using specific angled arrows from the Wingdings 3 font set. I can’t get either one to work in the Reports.
I have mapped both OCR A Extended and Wingdings 3 to dialoginput in the registry.dat file.
Getting the correct values into the font.properties file is the part that I’m having problems with. I’m trying to do this by following other examples I’ve seen, but I’m not hitting the correct combination.
I have added:
dialoginput.3=OCR A Extended,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.4=Wingdings 3,DEFAULT_CHARSET
1) Do I need to add a “NEED_COVERTED” to either one of those lines? I’m guessing no because this is plain Windows US/English, nothing foreign.
2) Do I have the proper _CHARSET for both of those lines?
I have also added:
filename.Wingdings_3=WINGDNG3.TTF
filename.OCR_A_Extended=OCRAEXT.TTF
3) Do I need to do that or should I take it out?
From what I’ve read, if I use a NEED_COVERTED then I also need a:
fontcharset.dialoginput.3=…..
fontcharset.dialoginput.4=…..
But I have NOOO clue what needs to follow the “=” sign.
It is mission critical that I get both of these working, especially the OCR A Extended font. I thank you in advance!

Weird font spacing - help needed

Hi,
I've been struggling with this for a while so would appreciate any help, I imagine this is quite a common problem. Basically, I'm developing a website which has quite a complex architecture and will involve generating graphs/charts as png images on the fly, dependent on user input.
To do this we're running weblogic 6.1, jdk 1.3, solaris 8 and an application called netcharts server (which is the charting engine). When a user requests a chart, the charting engine takes the parameters, does its thing to bring back the data and calls a servlet which uses AWT to generate the png image.
On windows, everything is fine, the images look great. However, seeing as the solaris box is running remotely without a display we use xvfb (running on display :1) to simulate an X server. The problem is that the fonts on the generated graphs look very weird - they're not the fonts I expect, and the spacing is very irregular, making the charts look really bad.
Does anyone know how to configure either the fonts.properties or set up solaris properly so it outputs nice looking fonts? I dont know if theres any patches to fix this - if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!!

What have you done between when it worked fine and when it doesn't? Do you have the same system version on both machines? Have you done any regular maintenance of the computer? Have you tried deleting the Font cache? Onyx is a free application that you can use for maintenance.

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

Font I.D. help needed

Can anyone here identify this font?
I need to match it for a client.
Many thanks,
-JM

It's ITC Busorama, available from either Bitstream or ITC.
WhatTheFont actually did a perfect job identifying it, once the image
was cleaned up by eliminating the connector between the H and O,
eliminating the white dots around the letters, and blowing it up to 3
times the size.

HELP TO CHANGE FONT.PROPERTIES

Hi, I've been triying to display some characters that are excluded from the font,properties files. What I do is change the exclusion range as follows:
i.e.if i want to include characters from u2700 to u27ff i change the next line
exclusion.dialog.0=0100-20ab,20ad-ffff
and I use:
exclusion.dialog.0=0100-20ab,20ad-26ff,2800-ffff
Is that correct? because it does not work.

PDF created using Java iText package - Text not editable and not displaying font properties on Acrobat

Hi,
I have an issue in editing the text and viewing the font properties of a text region on a PDF created using Java iText package.
I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and the option Tools -> Advanced Editing -> TouchUp Text Tool.
The strange behaviour is that, I have 2 PDFs created out of the same base PDF and text added via Java iText package with the same Text, Font and other properties.
One of the PDF has the text region editable on Acrobat but the other one has the text region which is not editable.
But both the PDFs are editable via Adobe Illustrator.
I have attached both the PDFs for your reference
PDF_Editable.pdf - Editable on Acrobat
PDF_Not Editable.pdf - Not Editable on Acrobat
Any help or insight to find out the difference/issue with the PDF which is not editable via Acrobat would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Madhusoodhan Henryraman

You don't have direct control of the leading of a multiline text field. A common approach is to control the background color of the field with JavaScript since the lines are not really needed when the field is used in Reader/Acrobat. They may be useful when using the form by hand. For more information, see the posts by Max in this topic: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-acrobat/how-do-i-use-multi-lined-text-fields-over-prin ted-line-area-existing-form

Font.properties to set custom in-house fonts

Hi all,
Currently attempting to get Forms Server to display a custom fonts called TH Sans Serif which is MS Sans Serif modified for our special needs. We need to show a whole array of fonts which caters for Rumanian, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Western European fonts amongst others. Problem is that the font.properties file (loaded with Jinitiator to be found under %Jinitiator_Home%\lib) maps 4 fonts (Monospaced, SansSerif, Serif, Dialog) that are used in the registry.dat file. Apparently reading from newsgroups it is possible to set one of these four mappings to your own custom font. Haven't unfortunately found a success case yet. Can anyone help.
Thanks in advance.

Help needed for using BASIC authentication through JDBCRealm

Help needed.
Hello,
I am doing a degree project, so far it works fine in my local machine, I need to try it on my virtual hosting (as it is a live server).
My project requires JDBCRealm, that is BASIC authentication loading access data from mysql database. Normally this setup can be done in Server.xml file, because my Tomcat hosting is a virtual one, I only have permission to access the web.xml file.
My question is: is it possible to get it done in an alternative way? In web.xml? Some properties file maybe?
Thank you very much.

You can set this up for your context using META-INF/context.xml instead of working with server.xml.
Make a directory called META-INF under your webapp ( it'll be at the same level as WEB-INF ). Under this, add a context.xml with all your context specific configuration including the realm. A sample is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/myApp" reloadable="true">
    <Realm
        className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
        driverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
        connectionURL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=myDB;SelectMethod=Cursor;"
        connectionName="username" connectionPassword="password"
        digest="MD5" userTable="users" userNameCol="userid" userCredCol="userpassword"
        userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"
    />

Urgent help needed on deployment facts

Hi
I had completed a Java Web based application using JApplet, which in turn uses Java Media Framework and Java Communications APIs. So when i deploy this application and let the clients use this application. I need to dump some jar files and properties files into the clients JRE so that all the APIs will work properly. Without any installations. I tried doing this manually by copying these files into client machines So is there a direct method for performing the task. Or i need to add some additional code to my applet so as to find the clients current JRE version and place the required files under using FTP? Can i write a setup routine or something which does all these operations once the client access the applet?
Help needed in the above issues
Thanks in advance
Swaraj

What you will want to do is look into JNLP and Java WebStart. They allow you to write a setup for your product that makes installation as easy as InstallShield™ does for the Windows™ platform (ie: it allows customers who cannot tell Java from Perl to install your product).

Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

Hi there,
Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
Oracle version 8.1.7.
I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Shankar

lol
your program is working just fine.
do you know what accept does? if not read below.
serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer

Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?

@OurPlace
First of all, you are not addressing any Adobe team. These forums are primarily supported by volunteers who are not Adobe employees and don't officially represent Adobe Technical Support.
That having been said ...
There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
Troubleshooting hints:
(1)     Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
(2)     Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
(3)     TypeKit fonts won't package.
(4)     Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
(5)     If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
(6)     Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
(7)     Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.
