Font Size problem : Swing font looks smaller than pdf font

Hi
I'm facing a problem with font size in my swing application. I'm showing some text with a certain predefined font size. Using the same font size and type on same m/c, I 'm generating some pdf text.
The problem is that the text in swing looks smaller than the same text in pdf. Is there a way to achieve
consistency in font sizes.

please don't cross-post.  pick the appropriate forum and use it.  close your cross-thread.

  • Font size in Photoshop document looks larger than it should be?

    I am designing a web site in Photoshop. No matter what font I use, the size looks too big. For example, I have to make my font size 6px in my photoshop document even though the actual font size i'm going to use on the website is 11px. My document size is 1024px by 768px. I am viewing at 100% and my screen resolution is set to 72 px/in. I have asked my instructor and he doesn't have this problem but doesn't know how to fix mine. Is there something in my preference i should change? I would really like to be able to use the actual font size in my document as I would for my actual site.
    Also, this happens in both of my PC and the Mac at school. Let me know if there are other information I need to say. Thank you in advance!

    Aside from what Noel said, keep in mind that font size covers the em box of a font, meaning its maximum upper and lower height, not just the visible content and that that relation is different for each font. In order to e.g. produce a 11px high glyph on a 72dpi device, the actual font may be designed with 14pt in mind and you will have to use that size.

  • [SOLVED] Urxvt increasing font size problems.

    Hello,
    I'm having some problems getting Urxvt to increase my terminus font size.
    I have installed aur/urxvt-font-size-git and have the following in my .Xdefaults:
    URxvt.keysym.Control-Up: \033[1;5A
    URxvt.keysym.Control-Down: \033[1;5B
    URxvt.keysym.Control-Left: \033[1;5D
    URxvt.keysym.Control-Right: \033[1;5C
    URxvt.iso14755: false
    URxvt.iso14755_52: false
    URxvt.keysym.Control-minus: perl:font-size:increase
    URxvt.keysym.Control-equal: perl:font-size:decrease
    URxvt.keysym.Shift-Control-V: perl:clipboard:paste
    URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,clipboard
    URxvt.font: xft:terminus:size=9
    !URxvt.font: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1
    URxvt.antialias: false
    Running
    xrdb ~/.Xdefaults && urxvt
    returns no errors, however Control-Minus/Equal do not increase my font size. I have tried swapping the URxvt.font values between the commented/uncommented lines but it still doesn't work.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Edit: I am using I3 as my WM and I don't have any mappings that would conflict.

    Looking at the wiki entry for this extension, it appears that you're missing font-size in this line. Try adding it and seeing if it helps.
    Wow, can't believe I missed that. Thanks!

  • 't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size.  't' is too small, and 's' is too big.  Can this be corrected?

    't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size.  't' is too small, and 's' is too big.  Can this be corrected?
    GFS Didot is nearest listed MUSE font in appearance to Adobe Caslon Pro, which is the font used in the book which the website is intended to promote.  I would like to use Adobe Caslon Pro (I paid for it and it's on my computer, but not in the cloud). Is there any way to install Adobe Caslon Pro as a MUSE font choice in the cloud?

    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • How can I enlarge the font size in ical which became smaller overnight?

    How can I enlarge the font size in ical which became smaller overnight?  We have a MacBook Pro.  Why did this happen?

    I finally got the font size issue remedied. I somehow had an add on to make the print large in the address bar. But I have saved your tip to a folder for future reference and thank you so much.
    Now if someone could just help me with this crashing business. I can't isolate it because nothing is constant. I unselected hardware acceleration and this is the longest I've gone without a crash, but I'm not thinking I've got it solved.
    This is on an old laptop running XP. Firefox was running just fine until yesterday morning when I uninstalled RoboForm and installed LastPass. After that I started getting the crashes, yet I'm not pretty sure they have nothing to do with LastPass itself.

  • Image size of iPhone 5S is smaller than screen size

    When I click any picture with my iPhone 5s, the image size is always 20-30% smaller than screen size. Its like a picture clicked from iPhone 4, is this an issue or is it designed in that way?? Coz Images clicked in potrait mode are always cropped 20-30% and I am not liking it..

    If auto adjust to fit with the Default Full Zoom extension isn't working then the pages may be using absolute values for elements and in such a case you would have to zoom the pages manually.
    Can you post a link to a few pages where it isn't working properly?

  • UI font size in dreamweaver is too small - can it be changed?

    Hi,
    I just purchased Dreamweaver CS6 and found to my dismay that the UI font sizes are so small that I need a magnifying glass to read them. At least they give the option for larger UI font sizes in Photoshop, but not in dreamweaver - as far as I can see.
    This was one of the reasons I abandoned dreamweaver after version 8 (Macromedia).
    Adobe really needs to sort this problem out for different screen sizes and accessibility. Even freeware authors get it right.

    I agree, but it is not only DW that is a problem, most of the applications that I use, including this forum, have the same problem.
    My solution, I wear a pair of IT-glasses, sort of like reading glasses that have been further refined for the screen.
    My solution prior to that is as follows
    Right-click on the desktop
    Select "Screen Resolution"
    In the Screen Resolution dialog, there are 3 options in the lower center.
    Click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
    Chose one of the 3 pre-set sizes <OR>
    In the left column, click "Set Custom text size (DPI)"
    Then scale the ruler until the text size suits your needs.
    This had the unfortunate consequence of reducing the workspace, hence my glasses.

  • After updating to Firefox 4, the font size in my gmails are smaller. I need to get the larger size back. How?

    On both the listing of gmails and the size of the font when gmails are opened, the font size is smaller than prior to upgrading to Firefox 4. I did not change any settings. I cannot see where I can change this back to larger fonts. Help?

    The page may have been zoomed out. With Gmail on display try using the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero) to reset page zoom.

  • Font Size for Favorites column too small in Leopard

    I just installed Leopard and find that the font used in the Favorites column is smaller than that used by Tiger and is too small for me to read. I see that the View Options allow font size to be changed for the file and folder names in finder windows, but I can't find anywhere to set the font of the Favorites column. Can anyone help me with a hack?

    Guess not. Thanks anyway.

  • Font size on AOL is too small to read my email

    Something odd has happened to the font size on certain websites - most notably on AOL.com. The font size is so small that it is hard to read. Emails are still sent in the standard default font but the screen is very small.
    On the other hand, the font on facebook.com seems to have gotten bigger.
    Other websites have not been affected as far as I can see.
    Is it a problem with an add-on?
