Font sizing in IE for windows

I made a web page for our church and while the pages look good in all of my browsers (Opera, IE, Safari) when I look at them on an IE windows browser the fonts are not scaled correctly and they look as if they are bit-mapped. Is there a set of fonts that I can design in iWeb that will look good on IE windows?
Also, my pictures are much darker.

Font sizes will always be one third larger when viewed on a Windows PC compared to a Mac. Is this the problem you saw? This is not an iWeb issue its just websites in general. Also were the font sizes in the PC browser set higher than the default setting as this would increase the problem. Maybe worth checking. If they were set higher it would move the layout around. Again this is not a iWeb problem, just a general one.

How to change fonts in iTunes for Windows?

Typeface in bold type is difficult to read and I want to change it. I looked everywhere online and could not find a simple solution, but then found one myself which seems to work. I have iTunes 10 and Windows Vista.
For some reason there's a conflict or problem with the Helvetica fonts.
Go to the folder C:windows/fonts. Wait for full font list to load, then sort in alphabetical order. Minimise that window, then open another Windows folder and navigate to a folder where you know you won't accidentally delete a folder. (I have a folder named "Keep" that I never move or delete to store important stuff). Create a new folder in that folder (organise>new folder) and name it Helvetica fonts.
Restore the Fonts window you minimised, then locate all Helvetica fonts you have (they should all be together if you sorted alphabetically). Select all Helvetica fonts and click and drag across to the Helvetica fonts file. You may be asked to confirm permission to do this. Confirm that all Helvetica fonts are in the new folder then close that window.
Return to the Fonts window and delete the selected Helvetica fonts. You will be asked for permission and get several pop up windows checking you really want to do this. **For some reason I was not able to delete Helvetica bold but the fix still worked.
When all Helvetica fonts are deleted (except for ** above if you had that problem too), then go to File>Install New Font at the top of the Fonts folder window. Navigate using the drop down box to find the folder where you saved the Helvetica fonts. The Helvetica fonts should all list in the right hand pane of the dialog box. IMPORTANT: at the bottom of the dialog box is a check box "Copy Fonts to Fonts Folder" - make sure this is NOT checked. You do not want the fonts reinstalled in the Fonts folder. Click Select All, the Install. All fonts should install, but their actual files remain in the new folder you created. As long as you don't delete this new folder the Helvetica fonts will be available to all programs which need them - but for some reason iTunes will now select a different font to display in iTunes.
And if it doesn't work the way you want, simply re-open Windows/Fonts, then repeat the installation instructions above but this time make sure the check box "copy fonts to font folder" IS checked and all will be restored.
Did this help anyone?

How can I add "Helvetica" font into my window software program???
You buy it and install it or use one of the free knock-offs you can find on certain websites. There is no Helvetica on Windows otherwise and there never was. That's what Arial is for...

Inconsistent font style behavior on Edge Reflow CC (Preview) for Windows

Adobe Edge Reflow CC Preview for Windows has wildly inconsistent behavior regarding font styles. Why is there no button for bold in the UI? Why do I have to type "bold" into the Weighting dialog text box to have my styled text render as such in Chrome? Why does text inside a box/div styled with the italics button render in Reflow but not in Chrome?

Hey there,
The font weight can be changed here:
With CSS there are both text values such as "bold" and numerical values from 100-900 usually. We gave you the ability to use either.
If you are seeing issues with a font rendering set to italic in Reflow and not in previewing properly in Chrome, can you let me know the typeface you are using? I'd like to check it out as well.

My iTunes for Windows font is all italicized and I can't see any of my iphone content. Help.

Manutius -- Type 1 font editor for Windows freely available

The German programmer Dr. A. Gebert has authorized the German TypeForum
website to distribute his Manutius 2.0 for Windows font editor free of
charge.
Manutius 2.0 was developed 1994-97 by Dr. Gebert but never got much
publicity despite its amazing functionality. The editor used to cost 100
German Marks but since now the product is out of date, the author donated it
to the website.
The download is ~1.2 MB. The software was developed for Windows 3.1. It
works on Windows 2000/XP but only supports short file names. Also, its user
interface is in German only. It can only edit Type 1 fonts with up to 1000
glyphs.
However, its drawing interface makes very good impression, and the ability
to display the actual PostScript charstring code along with the graphical
representation make the editor an excellent free companion to Adobe OpenType
Font Development Kit.
The download is available at:

(Please unwrap the URL).

Hi roxlankford,
Font Book can read PostScript fonts. But, as you've noted, you don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 font size for Windows XP

I run Windows XP and I have the most up-to-date Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4. However, my Palm desktop font is so small I can barely read it. I need to make the font larger so it's readable for my eyes. I was advised to click on Tools, then go to preferences and change the font size there. Unfortunately, Windows does not offer this solution. What do I do now?? JIm

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop 4.1.4 software and Window XP.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
    File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
    Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
    File > Exit
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels) (FontCard is a regedit value)
        FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts) (FontGeneral is a regedit value)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro

Apple Mail font size too small for father

My father just purchased a iMac with Mountain Lion OS and a 27 inch screen.
My father needs to be able to read the text of the AppleMail window.
We have increased the size of the fonts to 18 to make it easy for him to see what he is typing in the email editing window, however, none of the other display fonts in AppleMail increase.
The increase in font size is intended by Apple to provide an Accomodation to provide Equal Access for those with Sight Disabilities to the Essential Functions of use, however, this intent appears to have failed within AppleMail.
Would a different mail reader (gmail, etc) provide this font sizing ability?
Requested Remedy:
Provide the ability to increase font size for all of the AppleMail display.

'Preferences' doesn't solve the problem, since it only alters the font size of text for a single message, and doesn't alter the Mailbox Pane or Message Panes.
The Mailbox Pane is enlarged outside Mail, using the System Preference's 'General' setting for Sidebar Icon size - this also alters sidebar text size.
And the Message List is enlarged most easily by a Terminal command
- it's only a single line, cut'n'paste:
defaults write com.apple.mail RichMessageList -bool FALSE
Then restart Mail and adjust its column sizes for the newly enlarged fonts.
This thread gives a full discussion of this solution and its clumsier alternatives:

[SOLVED] Lousy fonts with .chm viewer for Linux

I installed the .chm file viewer HelpExplorer 3.0 in both Windows XP and Arch Linux (chm = compiled HTML help file). In Windows XP, with default fonts installed, the fonts in text read with this viewer appear crisp, sharp and anti-aliased. In Arch with KDE 3.5.7, on the other hand, the fonts appear fuzzy, grainy and don't seem to be anti-aliased, in contrast with their appearance in all other apps (except for a few such as Dillo) which render text good-looking, sharp and anti-aliased.
HelpExplorer for Linux was provided as a tarball that included a precompiled 'helpexplorer' binary. The program doesn't seem to allow for customizing font settings.
The following fonts are installed in Arch (in /usr/share/fonts/):
ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-5 is installed by default
gsfonts 8.11-4 is installed by default
PostScript Type 1 fonts installed: Century Schoolbook, Nimbus, URW Bookman, URW Gothic, URW Palladio
ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 (Microsoft TTF: Andale Mono, Arial, Comic, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet)
font-bh-ttf-1.0.0-3 (Luxi BH)
xorg-fonts-100dpi-1.0.1-1 (courier, helvetica, lucida, new century, times)
The "Files" section of my xorg.conf looks as follows:

What do I need to do to improve the font appearance in this program in Linux?
Last edited by RobF (2007-10-02 18:06:46)

I found a solution of sorts by installing and running the Windows version of HelpExplorer in Wine or Crossover. There is still very little control over fonts but when I enlarge the default font (with 2x CTRL-+) I do get a nice-looking anti-aliased Times New Roman font, and this solution would be my preferred way of reading .chm files in Linux (i.e. better than KchmViewer or Xchm).
Recap of the problem:
1. The .chm viewer HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed in Windows XP renders fonts crisp and clear and anti-aliased.
2. The Linux version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 (delivered as a precompiled executable in a tarball) doesn't render fonts antialiased, regardless of what I tried, and they look grainy and unattractive.
3. The Windows version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed and run in Arch in Wine or Crossover does render the default font they offer (looks like Times New Roman) fairly crisp and clear and anti-aliased, at least at the enlarged setting.
Can someone explain to me what might be going on? Why is it that the Linux version cannot render fonts anti-aliased when the Windows version running in the emulator in Linux can? Is there something that I have to change in my fonts config, fonts location, symlinks or path to get the anti-aliased fonts to work in HelpExplorer in Linux?

I kept a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in macbook pro. so, should i keep antivirus for windows 7? which is prescribable between bit defender(bd) and microsoft security essentials(mse)?does bd and mse un-installs easily?

lower your font size unless you have difficulty
MS Security Essentials is excellent
Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

Font sizing best practice in 2014

Decided to obtain a better working knowledge of font sizing best practice, read until my eyes bled, and find I continue to have questions. So much posted is old (older than few years) and change happens fast.
To the point; Since use of em units (or percentages) is often preferred, I now see that rems (root em) is another option, which leads me to ask:
Should I consider using “rem” sizing?… or, do browser zooming capabilities of modern browsers mean I do not have to obsess over how precise I must be in guesstimating how viewers actually see my written content as they have better control at their end? Is em compounding of sizes something that must be considered?
Thanks-

Use a mixture of what is best suited.
For document level I use pixels as in
/* Document level adjustments */
html {
font-size: 13px;
@media (min-width: 760px) {
html { font-size: 15px; }
@media (min-width: 900px) {
html { font-size: 17px; }
Then for the modules I use root level ems as in
/* Modules will scale with document */
header {
font-size: 1.5rem;
footer {
font-size: 0.75rem;
aside {
font-size: 0.85rem;
Then the size that will scale with the modules
/* Type will scale with modules */
h1 {
font-size: 3em;
h2 {
font-size: 2.5em;
h3 {
font-size: 2em;
Using this method I keep each scenario under complete control.
A List Apart has a nice article on the subject.

Office for Mac and Office for Windows XP compatibility issues?

Trying to convince a family member to make the Mac switch. She uses Office for Windows XP at work but might use Office for Mac at home. Will there be an compatibiity issues with the programs? She is a heavy Excel user and takes a lot of work home. If she has to rearrange cells and fonts and such each and every, it would drive her (and the rest of us) insane.
Any advice would be most welcome.
She is looking into either a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Putting Windows on the Mac is not really an option for us.
Thanks Community!

Or I could just download the trial version and see how that works.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction, anyway!

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Functioning in CS2 for Windows

A little over 6 months ago I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows XP and installed it on my work PC and my home PC. Everything works fine and dandy on my work PC, however when I try to do some editting on my home PC there are some quirks that I can't figure out. The main thing is that my Up/Down Arrow Keys do absolutely nothing. Whether I am trying to edit text and scroll through my fonts or if I'm trying to nudge a part of a picture, the Arrow keys do nothing.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

>but that's beside the point.
it's not. what you describe is typical behavior of a high quality cracked version that's been floating around. a great copy with shrink wrap, nice manuals, etc. but you've been burned. usually the discs are stamped "made in singapore".

Get a font's file name from the font's postscript name (on Windows)

I am trying to obtain the the font file name when the only information I have is the font's 'postscript' name. (Emphasis: the font's name is postscript and not the font).
For example I have the following postscript name: TimesNewRomanPSMT.
The real name that is saved in the registry is: Times New Roman (TrueType).
Is there any way of obtaining that name from the given postscript name?
Currently I am coding this for Windows, but it should be compatible, or at least have alternative code for MacOS

Funny. I'm having the same problem and was about to post the exact same question
In Photoshop, there is "app.fonts", which lets you get a font's postscript name from the font's name. This doesn't exist in After Effects.
My only hope is that there's a way to get a font's postscript name in Visual Basic. I'll let you know if I find anything useful.

Forms Developer/Services 6i Download for Windows 98

In the oracle website download directory, there's only one option to download Forms Developer 6i for Windows, and it's for NT. Will this exe also work for Windows 98?
Thanks!

Thanks, Syed.
One more question...Prior to installing 6i on your Windows 98 pc, did you also install 8i personal edition? That's what I have right now. Does 6i work okay with 8i?
Thanks again.
