Font spacing issues

Have run into an interesting issue that I haven't been able to get to the bottom of.
The font in question is "Century Gothic", a fairly well-known and used font. When using the "regular" setting, everything seems to space out just fine. But if I attempt to use Bold, Italics, or Bold Italics, the character spacing goes nuts:
Here is a bit of test text in Pages:
Here is the same text (copy/pasted) into a Word 2011 document:
Of particular interest is that when either is printed - they print exactly as they look on-screen, complete with spacing issues.
Also notice that the "Bold" doesn't appear as "bold" in the Word document, but spacing is much better.
Any suggestions what might be the issue?

For your “Century Gothic” font, there may exist, typographic hints that Pages needs enabled for this font to achieve the correct visual presentation. Type ⌘+T to bring up the Fonts panel. Select the gear pull-down and select Typography. Perhaps the Pages and TextEdit teams have digressed in their design goals.
A pop-up panel will offer a (variable by font) list of available settings, or none.

Smartform font spacing Issue when using SAP printer name

Hi Friends,
I am facing some spacing issues when printing a form using SAP printer name. If I use LOCL then the output comes perfectly but when I use the SAP printer name the space between characters are getting widened and so the alignment of each column goes wayward. I suspect it could be due to the device type but not sure which seeting controls this. There is a similar problem in the logo as well. When using LOCL the logo comes out good but when using the printer name the quality is not good and becomes pixelised. Have any of you faced similar issues? Can you provide some guidance or pointers for the solution.
Device type of LOCL : ZSAPWIN
Device type of SAP printer name : ZHPLJ5
CPI is defined in smartform as 10.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,
This problem occurs because the printer driver for both the printers are different,
I suggest you use Local printer only or configure any other printer with printer diver in SAP as SAPWIN.
Regards,
Bharat.

Spacing Issues and You Tube embed not playing in IE8, OK in Chrome or Safari

There are spacing issues (makes the website pages look like they are puzzle pieces) on all the webpages in
IE8, but in Safari and Chrome the website works fine. Same for the You Tube embed.
My wife did the layout of the website in Ilustrator and then transfered over the design to Dreamweaver CS3
(she's a graphic designer - I stopped asking questions long ago). Since she uses a Mac, it looked fine to her
in Safari. She took it to her work computer (PC) and tried to see if there were any issues detected when viewing in CS5
and she said it was fine.

Spacing Issues in Email

I'm having a spacing issue to the left of an image in an e-mail for a client. I can't seem to recreate the error. She's using gmail in chrome on a mac. She's seeing about a 1 pixel space between the two images in the code below. They're in the same table row, but separate cells. I can't seem to figure out what's causing this. Any ideas?
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="dashedBorder">

You may need to add:
<style type="text/css">
a img {
    border: none;
</style>
in the email header.
My two cents on using DW to design fancy decorated emails:
These questions about styling emails always baffle me because most web based email (gmail, operamail, hotmail) tosses styling out anyway, and if (like I do) someone uses Thunderbird, images are disabled by default and the end user has to choose to display them, so all the effort (not to mention frustration) to design something so fancy simply goes to waste on most recipients. In the end, more often that not, I've seen people scrap the whole thing once they figure out it didn't have nearly the desired impact.

Spacing issue in alternate browsers

Our website is having an odd spacing/text issue which I can't
seem to figure out. When the pages load in IE everything loads
correctly, but if the site is viewed in an alternate browser (like
Mozilla) there are giant spaces between sections, and the font
sizes on some pages are changing. This all started after we applied
a new template to the site for our menus so I know it’s a
problem with the code. I have gone through the code on several of
the pages and the template, and I can't seem to find the cause. I'm
still pretty new to Dreamweaver and CSS so it might be an obvious
error.
The page in question is
http://www.fcwp.org (spacing issues)
and
http://fcwp.org/MOSQUITO%20INFORMATION/mosquito_information.htm
(text becomes very small). All the pages use the same template so
fixing one should fix all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm not seeing those symptoms here on FF2 Windows.
The first step to getting browsers to render (nearly) the
same way is
to tell them exactly how to interpret the code. Try adding
the DOCTYPE
via File->Convert->HMTL 4.01 Strict (or Transitional).
Next, provide valid HTML code. If you enter either of the
above URLs at
http://validator.w3.org you will
see many errors. Some will go away
after inserting the DOCTYPE.
> <TD height="95" colSpan=2 bgColor=#336633><IMG
height=89
That's one the errors listed in the validator that the
DOCTYPE won't
fix. Use quotes around the colors: "#336633"

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...

Font smoothing issues with Samsun 23 inch LCD

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?

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!

Font display issues

Upgraded to Lion on an iMac, now I have strange font display issues across applications and in browsers and specifically with numbers, somethimes letters.

Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for you to enter your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Spacing Issue MSIE 8 vs Firefox 3.6

This page has VERY pretty ugly code, I know. It's a page nested within a Miva Merchant 4.24 framework. I'm hoping to clean it up later, since this is only day one.
But I've embedded all the CSS code in the page for the time being and I'm hoping someone can help me reconcile spacing issues between MSIE 8 and Firefox 3.6
http://dev.personaldefensesolutions.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc
In MSIE, there is about 20px of white space above the header that does not appear there in Firefox. I have zeroed out margin and padding in the body tag which I thought would take care of it but has not.
At the same time, in Firefox, there is some white space above the first of the green buttons in both the left and right columns, which I how I want it. But that space does not occur in MSIE. The buttons touch the black nav bar above them.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure be appreciative of the input.
Thanks,
Scott

Assuming I applied it correctly? I believe I did.
Here's how I applied it:
#LeftColumn {
     width: 180px;
     background-color: #FFF;
     padding-right: 15px;
     padding-bottom: 0px;
     padding-left: 20px;
     padding-top: 0;
     margin: 0;
     border-right-width: 1px;
     border-right-style: solid;
     border-right-color: #008000;
     border-top-width: 1px;
     border-top-style: solid;
     border-top-color: #FFF;
#RightColumn {
     width: 180px;
     background-color: #FFF;
     padding-right: 20px;
     padding-bottom: 0px;
     padding-left: 15px;
     padding-top: 0;
     margin: 0;
     border-left-width: 1px;
     border-left-style: solid;
     border-left-color: #008000;
     border-top-width: 1px;
     border-top-style: solid;
     border-top-color: #FFF;
I think that's right, though, as I said, I'm a CSS and Dreamweaver newbie. But in MSIE 8, the
spacing issue isn't resolved, though you can see both white borders..

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,
pudge

PDF Merging and font dropping issue

Please advise me the difference between the process of combine PDF and single page insertion in existing PDF through Adobe Acrobat. The reason being in single page insertion we are experiencing font drop issues whereas when we use combine PDF option then no problem is there.
Thanks

You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

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).

M. Leino

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