Fonts again - not as good as in ubuntu

Hi,
I came back to arch after some time. I was using Ubuntu 10.10 before. I have installed all fonts related packages from aur - freetype2-ubuntu, libxft-ubuntu, fontconfig-ubuntu and still didn't managed to get fonts rendering as good as in ubuntu. It's not bad at all, but some sets of colors (background, font) are still hurting my eyes.
Can you, more experienced arch users share your experiences? Which packages (including fontconfig) are most used?
Thank you in advance for help.

Most people use Ubuntu or Infinality from aur. I use Infinality with the "sharp" example in the second link and everything looks great. You'll have to find what works best for you.

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • I'm not good with computers or software.  I'm trying to save a RAW Ai file I created.  When I currently save it, the color or characters/size fonts are not coming up in the saved version. How can I save, and have all of my information

    Not going with computers.  Trying to figure out how to save Ai RAW file with colors/fonts etc.  Currently saves, but does not have colors and font information.

    When you say "Colors/Fonts" are not saved, I'm not sure what you mean. How have you determined they were not saved?
    Also, not sure what a "RAW" AI file is. I assume you mean simply a native format .ai file.
    .ai will save all font and color information. It does not "embed" fonts, but it saves what fonts were used and will call the correct fonts when reopened (assuming fonts are available on the system).
    CC 2014 also has a "Package" feature that will collect assets (fonts and images) into a central folder for easy distribution.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

    Hello.
    This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
    I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
    System Info:
    Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
    Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
    1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
    2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
    3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
    4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
    5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
    Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
    Thanks!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

  • Fonts will not automatically enable in Font Book, fonts also will not load Adobe CS5 Indesign or Illustrator.

    Hello,
    My fonts stopped enabling automatically in font book, and do not load in Adobe Indesign CS5 or Illustrator CS5 when I use these programs.
    The font names are usually displayed in brackets such as [Times New Roman] in the drop down menu for fonts.
    So far I've found two different libraries for font, but I'm not sure about deleting them for fear of losing my fonts.
    Also where do I find the font cache? If I clear it, can I possibly get the fonts to enable themselves again.
    I'm using a 2006 Macbook Pro, and running Snow Leopard (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Thank you for your reply. I have a few comments of my own.
    (1) You, ~Bee, accused me of using "another person's wisdom here". In some quarters, this would be called plagiarism.
    If I were Oscar Wilde, I'd say that bad manners were a far more grievous sin than plagiarism. But I'm not. Good manners is one thing, and I'll be the first to admit that my manners can stand a considerable degree of improvement. Plagiarism is something quite different, and I deeply resent being accused of such an action.
    (2) In this recent thread
    <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3648940?tstart=30>
    I see a Level 5 contributor doing precisely what I did. Yet, curiously enough, I see no guardian of good manners jumping up to chastise him for it. Am I to understand that this is a case of quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi? We're supposed to do what our betters say, not what our betters do? (Of course, I'm absolutely, positively sure that you, ~Bee, have never, ever, replied to a post simply with a link.)
    (3) In two recent threads, I've had occasion to direct OPs to the same web page
    <https://discussions.apple.com/message/17201779#17201779>
    <https://discussions.apple.com/message/17245704#17245704>
    In the former thread I wrote,
    You need to read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    In the latter thread I wrote,
    Read Font Management in OS X, by Kurt Lang. The author is a frequent contributor to this forum.
    And you must be very well aware of this, because you posted yourself in the latter thread, not once, but thrice.
    Knowing this, I don't see how you could have had any reason to accuse me of "going to use another person's wisdom here".
    Knowing this, you could have made the charitable assumption that I was, possibly, in a bit of a hurry when I replied with nothing but a link, and act accordingly. (That, incidentally, would have been considered good manners in my part of the world.)
    Does that seem like too much trouble, ~Bee?

  • Website fonts does not look correct.

    When I open some sites it does not show the font clearly and very difficult to read. IE or chrome usage looks good which I am doing now. Want to use Firefox again.
    Firefox version: 28.0
    OS: Windows 7.
    Example site: http://www.ndtv.com/news/
    Troubleshooting.
    Without addon: Same issue
    Safe mode: Same Issue
    New profile for firefox: same issue.
    Even for this site the font are not looking correct.

    Could you check Windows 7's ClearType settings? Unlike IE, Firefox relies on your Windows 7 settings for anti-aliasing.
    Did the font quality change suddenly and, if so, can you associate it with any Firefox or Windows updates? Or graphics card driver updates?
    This site uses a font named Open Sans which is downloaded. If Firefox isn't able to download the font, it will substitute something it believes is similar. Perhaps you are getting a terrible substitution??

  • The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

    The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app

    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • My fonts are not working correctly

    Hello guys,
    I noticed today that most of my added fonts are not working. I use a lot of fonts that have a cyrillic subset which were working perfectly fine till 2 days ago. Now when I select a text field and try to change the font face to one of the added fonts, it changes the font face to whichever the default font is and renders the font selection menu to blank. I am really puzzled, the fonts are installed in the Fonts folder in Windows, and they were working perfectly fine till a couple of days ago. I havent installed any Fireworks or Windows updates in the meantime. I am working in Fireworks CS5.
    Cheers

    I wasn't sure about my shut-down-and-restart suggestion, but I still think it might be a good idea to clear the font caches.  Here are a couple links on clearing font caches for Windows and Adobe apps:

  • Suddenly...some fonts are not available.

    InDesign CC 2014 Crashed today. When I relaunched it I found that some of my fonts are not available. I'm on a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.10)
    For example, two weights of Proxima Nova are available (Light and Regular) but the other weights are not. Those other various font weights are available in other apps (namely Illustrator).
    Below are various screenshots
    1. Screenshot from InDesign
    2. Screenshot from Font Book to show the fonts are active
    3. Screenshot from Illustrator CC 2014 showing these fonts are available there.

    I quite InDesign. Then I did a search and trashed all the AdobeFntXX.lst files that had a two digit number. I deleted the files and rebooted my computer. I then launched InDesign and had the same problem.
    So, I quite InDesign again and deleted my Indesign Prefs and Saved Data file and relaunched. Same problem.
    Very strange... since everything is okay in Illustrator, Photoshop and even an older version of InDesign CS6.

  • Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

    Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?

  • Can I change default font in Notes app on ipad mini 3?

    Actually, it's the size I'd like to change.
    Thanks, in advance - usually find answers to my questions without posting and, if not, I've gotten an answer the few times I have posted. Really like this forum..

    Hi,
    You can make the font on Notes larger by going to Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Text, click on that, and you can select the size you want the font on apps that support Dynamic Type (Notes included) to be. Be aware, however, that other apps that support this will also display a larger font. Sorry, but I don't know which those would be. You will be able to tell as soon as you encounter one. As long as anything you see in the larger font works for your needs, then you are good to go!

  • Change font in Notes (iCloud)?

    There are settings to change the font in Notes on each of my devices, but how do you change the font in Notes on the web page version of iCloud?

    As a work around you can type your data in another application on your computer, select a font, COPY and PASTE your text into the iCloud Notes (from your web browser).
    Personally I like the font, "Courier New" becuase it is classic, basic, and very ledgable.
    Good luck and i hope they give options to make the Note plain Text, or HTML,
    and different font/text styles.
    Thanks

  • Some fonts do not appear in InDesign

    Some fonts do not appear in InDesign although they can be used in Word, Pagemaker and show in Adobe Typemanager.

    Can you name one?
    These are the most common causes of people complaining "My fonts don't appear":
    (a) Smart name sorting. "New Century Schoolbook" sorts under "C", not "N". "Adobe Garamond" sorts under "G". (I call this 'smart' sorting because apparently it isn't the same as, ehm, dumb sorting. However, I've never read a good description of its sort parameters.)
    (b) Word and PageMaker (but not ATM) allow the use of fake fonts: bold, italics and bold+italics are produced by horribly deforming your base font. If you want a bold font in InDesign, use the designed one. If there isn't one designed ... the designer probably had good reasons not to make one. (It's still possible to create faux-bold and faux-italics in InDesign but the program leaves that decision to you).
    (c) Smart Script sorting. InDesign groups its fonts per supported script. Latin fonts are at the top (a slightly self-centric choice), then come groups of fonts for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. etc. A font like Gisha contains Hebrew characters and thus appears in the Hebrew group.
    (d) More than one font file with the same font name (internally). ID gets mightily confuzed if it encounters a file "times.ttf", font name "Times Roman", in one folder, and "tr_____.pfb", font name "Times Roman", in another folder. You can't really blaim it, though.
