Font - Text rendering

When i apply a particular font, using setFont() . It not rendered correctly. Applies for both Logical and Physical fonts

The text looked pretty crappy to me at first using an HDMI cable (probably applies to DVI too), but here's what I did to fix it.
1. On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Display and make sure your display settings have "Resolution" to "Default for display" have "Underscan" to "Off".
2. On the monitor's own settings/menu (via the buttons near the power button), go to "Management > Custom Scaling > Overscan" and switch it to "Off"
Hope that helps!

Since this morning all text in firefox look slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently.

Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
Some facts:
- Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
- Already did a reset to defaults
I'm using the latest version of Firefox
Screenshot can be found here: [http://www.ka-pow.net/media/images/firefoxissue.jpg link text]

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools/Extra > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

Font or text rendering problem :(

Hello!
I have a problem in Numbers with text rendering or something like that.
Some characters have wrong representation right in cells. And when I export document to PDF all characters which cross the cell border have white lines.
I already tried to rebuild font cache without luck.
Can anyone help to figure this out?
Thank you!
P.S.
Numbers 2.1, Mac OS X 10.7.2, here is a snapshot:

You already know that but it may be interesting for others.
(1) the OP's document behave the odd way on my machine.
(2) When I insert similar characters in a complementary table in the original document, it behave flawlessly.
Now are new informations.
(3) I copied the content of your tables and pasted values in tables of a blank new document.
With the font set to Helvetica everything was OK.
I tried several fonts.
Avant Garde --> OK
Baskerville --> OK
Calibri --> OK
Arno Pro --> OK
Cochin --> OK
Garamond Premier Pro --> OK
Minion Pro --> OK
Warnock Pro --> OK
Arial --> Odd behavior
This odd behavior doesn't strike in TextEdit or Pages.
So there is clearly a problem between Numbers and Arial

Staff? Text rendering incompatibility Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6 Websafe fonts render issue

Text rendering incompatibility
Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
‘Browser Fill’ has ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
or when
Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
Comparison Web safe fonts render
Chrome = all good
Firefox = all good
Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
Any work around?
Thanks

Hi Zak
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
Below links and further explanation and screen shots
Thanks again
Milton
Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’ that has an ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
creates the issue for text on the whole page.
I can remedy these situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’ on.
Screen snap shots below
Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

Text rendering on MacBook Pro differs from PowerBook.

It appears that various applications use a different text rendering technique on the MacBook Pro than on the Powerbook. Camino for instance uses sub-pixel rendering on the PowerBook but standard anti-aliasing on the MacBook Pro. So do Word and MSN and others.
At first I thought it had something to do with the app being universal or not. But Camino is supposed to be a universal binary.
Anyone has a clue about why this difference?
(You can easily see if sub-pixel or standard rendering is used by zooming in with option-cmd-8. Standard rendering has only shades of gray. Sub-pixel rendering uses colors. More on OS X text rendering can be found here: http://daringfireball.net/2003/11/panthertextrendering.)

First, I wonder - does it look good or bad? Or, is this simply a comment that it is different?
Second, and I'll bet this is your answer, is that the difference is most likely due to the type of video card being used. I notice that nothing effects rendering of fonts like the type of video card.
I am interested because I will be doing lots of text work on my MBP, and would like to know if there is an issue with this. I had a notebook (Toshiba) about three years ago that the text was soft and nothing I could do would make it sharper. I ended up dumping the notebook and getting something else. MS Cleartype seems to work to some degree in Windows machines, but I don't see anything like that on my PB. However, the PB is fine as it...

Dynamic text rendering in Cp4

I'm having an issue with an embedded AS2 SWF that spawns a MovieClip containing a dynamic text field populated with ActionScript. When I publish/preview the Captivate movie with externalized animations, the dynamic text renders fine. However, when I do NOT externalize animations, the dynamic text appears garbled.
I'd go ahead and externalize animations in this project, but there are other embedded SWFs in the project that work correctly only when they are not externalized.
Anyone have experience with this or a similar issue?

I just had a similar problem and fixed it by embedding the font into the Flash SWF and also embedding uppercase and lower case characters.
Not sure why this was needed since I never had to do that with Captivate 3, but that was the only thing that corrected the problem.

{text-rendering : optimizeLegibility} turns off google webfont in DW CS6 live preview (suddenly)

I'm currently working on two websites for the UN, based on Wordpress, child themes based on twentytwelve and twentythirteen.
I started to work a certain time ago on the child theme for 2012 which uses "Open Sans" fonts.
I don't remember having any problem with this site: everything was working ok, I made a few changes but nothing important.
I turned to the nd website based on 2013-theme, it works perfectly and DW CS6 is a real time saver for creating a child-theme, nonetheless...
This morning I turned back to the 2012-based wordpress site: every text was simply not displayed anymore... only in live preview in DW...
Even with the parent theme, the text was siply not displayed (so don't suggest my css code is bugged or what...)
After a while, I figured out it was not really a problem regarding the font itself, but with the CSS property "text-rendering" with value set "optimizeLegibility".
Commenting out this declaration solved the problem. Nonetheless...
1 month ago there was no problem. Then suddenly...
Is there a problem with the live preview mode and this CSS property? (indeed there is a problem)
Can we have a fix for this? I mean, an update for DW CS6 (not for DW CC) ?
TIA

Hello Nancy!
Normally, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-rendering Gecko could take it in charge too, but seems to override this setting (a thing I can understand, Gecko is using a fast rendering engine). So you're right: at this time, it can impact only webkit/chromium engines. Which, as far as I know is the underlying engine(s) behind "Live Preview". And it does impact readibility in DW CC (it improves it).
Personnally I'ls better stick to the real CSS properties for kerning, alternative uppercases and ligatures, BUT the wordpress team seemed to think it was a good idea to use it (along with many other strange ideas such as using rem unit for the layout).
The real thing here is: some weeks ago, when I started to tune the 2012-based theme I use for this site, I'm pretty sure I was able to read the text in Live Preview in DW CS6. I wouldn't have chosen to use this theme with such an annoyance, else. So basically, it's really strange that suddenly this property has such an impact on the "live preview" mode of DW CS6. What I would really appreciate here is a small update/bugfix to DW CS6: I don't need this property to be taken in charge in DW CS6 as it is done in DW CC, I'ld just want this property not to impact the live preview.
Last : I mentionned an update of DWCC being possibly a culprit for this. How relevant could be this statement ? Are "live preview" modes shared by DW CC and DW CS6 ? (Even if, of course, this "bug" is not happening with DWCC).
PS: Thanks a lot Nancy to pay attention to my posts as I often yell a lot here.

Difference in text rendering between PDF and Mars?

I was doing some testing with Mars and stumbled upon what
seemed like suboptimal text rendering. Because it was quite subtle
and I wanted to make sure there was an actual difference, I did a
little comparison between PDF and Mars rendering.
See this image. Can
you see a difference?
I'm still not sure whether there is an actual difference, but
I still somehow got the impression that the upper example (PDF) is
a little more polished then the lower one (Mars). Are different
rendering paths actually used? Will it remain that way?
My SVG for Mars was very simple:
<text font-size="10pt" x="20" y="20" fill="rgb(0,0,0)"
font-family="F0">aex</text>
The PDF was produced with MS Office 2007 and Microsofts Save
as PDF plugin (also at 10pts). The font is Gentium.

The difference *IS* subtle, but you're right -- there does
appear to be a perceptible difference between the two samples.
Without making an in-depth study, it's hard to say whether we
can do anything about this. Even though they're both opened in
Acrobat, the rendering path for a Mars document is *VERY* different
from the path for a PDF document, and many of the events along the
chain are out of the control of those of us writing the Mars
plugin. There are some text-quality issues that I'd like to take
care of in time for our next release, however; perhaps I'll be able
to address this particular issue at the same time.

Java2D text rendering quality

Dear all,
I am currently trying to get high quality rendering for monochrome text, targeting epaper viewers. I draw strings into a BufferedImage, and display it on my LCD monitor in order to quickly check the rendering quality, before transferring it to epaper. I am encountering some disappointing surprises using Java2D, and cannot get a good output quality:
- TextAttribute.WEIGHT produces only 2 different renderings, regular or bold.
- Fonts appear very very light for sizes up to 17pt, and suddenly appear bold at 18pt+ sizes
I am working under Windows XP SP 2, with JDK 1.6.0. Here follows a small piece of code illustrating the second problem. When comparing output with Photoshop or Fireworks outputs, the results are really disapointing, and I am sure that I am missing something...
Thanks in advance for any help/tip.
Sincerely,
Jean-Marie

        f.setSize (600, 800);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
}

Of course, the same rendering problem can be observed with the more sophisticated "Font2DTest" example which can be found in the JDK samples: with the Arial font, the text becomes "semi-bold" starting from 18pt size, whereas it is very light for sizes up to 17pt.
Thanks again for any help.

TextFlow and Modesto font incorrect rendering...

Hi,
I have a project using TextFlow with StyledRichText that calculates positioning / scaling based on font metrics in font files that have been embedded into loaded CSS SWF.
All works well apart from one specific font. Opening the font in Fontographer or similar shows the glyphs extend beyond the expected region and this shows on screen as the letters extending beyond the bounds of the text field... Or, rather... _mostly_ displaying beyond the bounds of the text field. Occasionally, the bits outside get chopped off and occasionally the TextFlow decides it only has room for one rather than two lines and...
Well, it sucks, basically.
As you zoom in and out, the text rendering switches so that sometimes I am looking at two lines and others at one.
Needless to say, dumping the font entirely would be preferable, but that isn't possible for visual design reasons that I am not qualified to comment on.
So...
Does anybody have any ideas how I can detect, react to and / or correct for the weird font metrics in this specific font? (I should add, the fix has to be compatible with the somewhere around 150 fonts that _do_ work.)
Cheers,
G

Nope, Voiceover is NOT enabled. I think it's the new font that I installed today called Mikiyu Honey (downloaded from http://kawaii-me.org/you/fonts/). I uninstalled it by dragging it to the trash, emptied trash, cleaned out font cache, STILL rendering the Gimpshop menu incorrectly. No other program is experiencing this problem.

Text rendering information

Hi,
Im working on software written in java which wants to do the following:
Get each glyphs of a hello word in any font and rules necessary to assembly them into the word hello.
This software must return h, e, l, o and say h has a width of W and next char must be move of 2 pixels on the left
It has to manage kerning and other stuff.
I know that is the work of the text rendering engine to wrote this but I need the information that it uses to do the job without wrote all code that is necessary to exploit all of them.
I search a little into many forums and others API and project, but Im running out of time and knowledge. Did someone has some information for this problem.
Thanks,

Hi
sorry I mistranslate GlyphVector class (I m french)
Now I think I will found all information that I want with thé functio
that return Shape data :)

Document converted with FlashPaper has bad text rendering.

I converted a Korean document to Flash with FlashPaper but its text rendering was bad like the following screenshot.
But it got better when I scrolled a little or zoomed in/out. Like this.
As you see, the text is softer and easier to read.
I don't know how to solve this problem.

Very glad to know I'm not alone, thanks for the reply! Also, looks like the two of us aren't alone either. There's another thread over at Bleeping Computer that has the same issue:

Apex 4.1 different font text in Reports Region and Interactive reporting

Hi everybody,
In my APEX 4.1 page, I have two regions using the same ''Reports region" Template but font text are different. Why The first region is an interactive reporting. The second it's a report. I know that each one has his own data for sure but the same region template .Spaces between colons are different. Is it normal ? I want to have the same font text for the two regions.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Legacy themes are flagged with a "*" in the theme gallery. Standards mode themes are not. (I don't have access to APEX 4.1 at present to be able to identify specific themes.)
Properties of interactive report components, is it possible to take a look on this properties or it's a "black box" ?
You can either look in the global APEX style sheet, or (probably more usefully) use a browser web inspector to examine the CSS properties of the IR components in the page.
