Font resolution issue - openbox on nvidia [SOLVED]

Hello,
I'm using Arch on a T61P with a nVidia Quadro FX 570M.
My video card is correctly installed and working good using the nvidia driver (as you can see on the logs at the bottom). dpi are set correctly and resolution too ... but all my fonts, buttons, ... are way too big on software like firefox, terminator, k3b, ... as if the resolution wasn't set right ... but those are ok on other like tint2 or xterm.
I don't know how to resolve this issue and get a "good" small and nice resolution on those apps ....
Need help ...
here are some logs about my config... =>

Thanks for the answer, i actually set it at 96 in Xorg.conf :
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0

  • [Solved] Set Screen Resolution in Openbox

    Is there a utility to set the screen resolution in Openbox?
    Last edited by Wintervenom (2008-09-26 07:43:03)

    You can make an Openbox submenu with various xrandr settings.
    Like so:
    <menu id="res-menu" label="Resolution">
    <separator label="Resolution"/>
    <item label="1280x1024">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 1280x1024
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    <item label="1024x768">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 1024x768
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    <item label="800x600">
    <action name="Execute">
    <execute>
    xrandr -s 800x600
    </execute>
    </action>
    </item>
    Of course, you need to have those modes defined in xorg.conf.

  • Macbook Pro 15" Retina Windows 7 HDMI Resolution issue

    Hello,
    I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display running bootcamp with Windows 7.
    I have connected the Macbook to an external HP w2448hc display using HDMI interface.
    When booting to OS X 10.9.4, the resolution of the external display is set to 1920x1200 and it looks fine. See picture below:
    However, when booting to Windows 7 the resolution on the external display looks lower (although shows up as 1920x1200):
    I have another PC which I have connected to the same display with HDMI and the resolution also shows up as 1920x1200. However, in this case the resolution indeed looks as the correct one:
    Although not seen very well from the screen shots, both the PC and the Macbook Pro (with Windows 7) show the same resolution in the settings, but the desktop and icons under Macbook Pro (bootcamp) look bigger and with smaller resolution.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Hi,
    I managed to fix this resolution issue by lowering the color depth to 16bit for the external display. Not exactly sure why was this necessary, maybe for some reason Windows cannot allocate enough video memory for both displays?

  • Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
    I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
    but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
    folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
    Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
    another forum here:
    MAC
    OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
    Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
    to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
    and Illustrator.

    Hi davidd61713525,
    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
    Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to.  A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk.  There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
    Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
    Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
    And a similar older one:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
    I would try the following options:
    Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
    Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not.  You can try running a disk and permissions repair.  After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion.  If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know.  I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

  • Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4 - font leading issues

    Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4
    Recently upgraded OS and Quark and my documents that use the font Avenir are not displaying correctly. Fonts leading has expanded so anywhere Avenir is used, the leading changes the layout and most text boxes are overset.
    - leading is set to Auto
    - do not use a font manager, I use FontBook- checked usage and font is not missing
    - deleted Avenir, emptied font cache, restarted and issue still exists- made a new user, packaged a file, opened in new user and issue still exists
    - not just one file, issue exists in every file I made that uses Avenir in my archive- had my colleague open the same archived files on their computers and files were correct
    - had colleague send me Avenir font, deleted out of my library, reloaded font and issue still exists
    - deleted font out of my library and just used Avenir system font, issue still exists- deleted Quark and re-uploaded, issue still exists
    - re-uploaded OS, issue still exists- did a thumbnail transfer of items from old doc to a new doc, issue still exists
    - have spent over 6 hours on the phone with Quark support and have numerous messages back and forth in a job ticket, no resolution
    I would not normally use Quark, but a client reuqests it. I suspect I might have a corrupted system font but I am unsure. 3 weeks behind schedule on my project and am desperate for help. Any ideas?

    I just found out my E3000 was no longer compatible with making a Guest Access password.  Spent a ton of time online chatting with a Linksys/Cisco rep who told me it was not longer compatible with the newer operating systems...BUT THIS IS A LIE! My E3000 works great with Yosemite.  A couple of things you need to know.  1.  You can no longer use the Cisco Connect CD to set up a Guest PW.  It has been replaced by a handy App, that you can download from the App store:  http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=156285 2.  You can change the settings on your Wifi router directly from this app.  No need to go into the 192.168.1.1 site and configure it but if you want to, you still can do this.  On the website, there is no way to configure the GUEST settings unfortunately.... 3.  You can configure a Guess Access code and set the number of computers allowed to use it at one time on the App.  After you set the code, it will bring you off line then online again.   Make sure you log in to your WIFI network under both Guest and your WIFI network to see if works.  For some reason, it took some time for my iPhone to bring me to the Guest sign-in page, but I eventually switched the ON/Off button on the Guest Password setup and it worked.  All guests should be redirected to a CISCO SIGN-IN page where they can log in with the guest Password. 4.  I can't believe the customer reps didn't tell me immediately about this app!  I gave it 1 star as it wasn't working very well until I reset everything and started over.  Maybe that was just my incompetence.... Good luck!  My 5 yr old dual band router is still working very well!  No need to get a new one to be compatible with Yosemite!   

  • Chinese Font Display Issues

    Dear Adobe Community,
    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6, and using chinese characters for my text. I've been using "Xingkai SC" however strangely, some characters when typed will display correctly as "Xingkai SC" but others will not, and will automatically switch to "Adobe Heiti Std." I don't understand why this is happening, and would like to know the solution so that all characters appear as "Xingkai SC" instead of typing chinese and getting two fonts together in the same sentence. Here's a picture of this below. (a) As you can see the ( Left to right) 1rst and 3rd characters display "Xingkai SC" but the 2nd and 4th characters are displaying "Adobe Heiti Std."Also even when I highlight the text and manually try changing the text to "Xingkai SC" nothing happens, and everything remains the same. Also another quick question. When selecting fonts what does the "O" and "TT" mean? Hopefully can get the frustrating character issue resolved.
    (a)
    (b)
    (b)

    We use mostly English/Latin fonts so it's very hard to get someone who knows about Chinese fonts and Photoshop issues on a Mac.  However I can give you something to go on.
    You have to consult Chinese design forums, here is one to try.
    http://bbs.blueidea.com/forum.php
    TT = TrueType fonts  OT = Opentype fonts.  You will need to read up on those terms.
    A suggestion for a good Chinese font to try. It may solve your problem:

  • Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

    In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
    I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
    I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

    hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

    Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
    One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
    This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
    Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
    They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
    KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

    You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts.  I enable ant-aliasing.  I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full.  I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI.  This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
    This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
    Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
    khotkeys needs to be running.  I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
    When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work.  In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
    ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc.  I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
    Restart X
    Go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
    I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
    To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for.  Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field.  Save.
    Then go to  System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys.  Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created.  (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
    Hope this helps,

  • Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

    Hello
    This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
    Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
    So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).

    just want to add that overall fonts look blurry and they are not very sharp.

  • FAQ: How do I clear out my font cache to fix font style and duplicate font style issues?

    We have a Script availabe for CS6 beta users who are experiencing particular font related issues.
    This script will help by clearing the font cache and will test for corrupted fonts.
    This will solve some of the type issues with duplicate font names and some of the other font errors.
    This script is to help to find corrupted fonts. The script itself doesn’t solve the problem.

    Monica, I know the Normal Character Style in Illustrator must be defined. But my question is about the Normal Paragraph Style, not the Normal Character Style. As Larry just said, in most of my documents, and in my New Document Profiles, these fields in the Normal Paragraph Style are blank (undefined), so I know this is possible. In a few older documents I'm converting, the Normal Paragraph Style has a defunct font, and even though my Normal Character Style is correctly defined with the current font, it's creating some weird behavior.
    Larry, it doesn't appear to be the document itself, it just appears to be not knowing what the right keystroke combo is to clear it. Just make a new file from a Document Profile where the Normal Paragraph Style does not define one of those font fields, define a font and/or font size, save, then reopen the paragraph style settings and try to clear any field that has been set. I can't clear it, I can only change the font.

  • Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

  • OS X 10.8.3 Display Resolution Issue

    Ever since updating to 10.8.3, there has been a sporatic resolution issue when waking my MBP. My mid 2009 13" MBP operates in closed lid mode while connected to a 21.5" monitor. My machine frequently wakes to a completely incorrect resolution that is many times the size of my display. It fixes to the correct resolution if I simply sleep and wake again, or correct it via System Preferences, but having to do this several times becomes quite annoying. Anyone else experiencing this bug and/or have any ideas on its resolution?

  • Font smoothing issues

    Hi all. I noticed some others were complaining about font smoothing not seeming to work in Carbon applications (e.g. Camino, Firefox, MS Word and even iTunes). It seems the subpixel font-aliasing system preference (e.g. light) is ignored and, instead, the ugly CRT font smoothing is used.
    I am puzzled this has not received a lot of attention, since it immediately bothered me when I received my Macbook Pro today.
    Is everyone experiencing this font smoothing problem? I used the Migration Assistant to copy all files from my previous (Tiger-installed) Powerbook. Does anyone not having used the Migration Assistant also suffer from the font smoothing issue?
    For more info, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1829478&#1829478
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    TinkerTool didn't make any difference for me. I played around with it and found that there was no improvements using it or disabling font smoothing.
    I have watched DVD's on this LCD being played with my MacBook. I have seen 2MB+ full screen digital pictures. Both the DVD and digital pics look absolutely amazing on it.
    It's only the fonts that appear blurry or in some areas they appear to have a shadown to the right. This happens with any text that appears in every app.
    Keep in mind too, Windows Vista looks perfect on this display, but my prized MacBook looks really sub-par.
    I'm not quite following you on changing the display preferences to change to pixel size to that of the MacBook...

    I am having a font smoothing issue with my MacBook and my Samsung LN-S2352W 23 inch LCD (http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/LNS2352WXXAA.asp). I am using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter and the plugging that into the VGA port of my LCD. It doesn't matter which app I run, but as long as it has fonts, they come out blurry, hazy, colors bleed, etc.
    I have played with the font smoothing settings and that has not helped at all. I have heard of TinkerTool and will try it to see if it makes any difference, but am not expecting much.
    I also have a PC running Windows Vista and I connected it to the VGA port of my LCD. Wow...the difference in picture quality was astounding. I'm ******. I want my MacBook to look that sweet on my LCD.
    Anyone have any thoughts? Can this be fixed?
