Fonts for scrolling up text / ramp up ramp down?

Couple of questions regarding LiveType. I'm creating a credits for the end of a project that goes on for a couple of minutes, and is fairly slow. I selected a font I liked (a system font, not a LifeFont) and included a couple of symbols from Webdings or something to seperate sections with a symbol that was appropriate to the project. These fonts looks great on the screen and in Font Book (where I went to view all my fonts and make a selection) but when I output it it looks like crap. (white font/black background, standard DV). Are there types of fonts that are generally better represented (ie. truetype vs. ???).
2nd question. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything about this but, I'd like, at the end of the credits to ramp down the speed, then pause for a specified amount of time on the last big of the credits (copyright etc.).
How do you ramp up/ramp down the "Scroll Up" effect?
Thanks!

Question 1:
You really need to view it on an NTSC monitor or failing that output a short portion to your deck/camera and look at it on a TV and see if it still looks like crap.
There are a number of things that could be your “crap” culprit. Try lowering the whites to about 90% for starters and add a Gaussian Blur (at about .2) to the titles as well. Add the blur in FCP it’s in Effects>Video Filters>Blur>Guaussian Blur
Question 2:
There is a scroll and pause effect in LT as well. It has adjustable key points that you could move around so it pauses where you want it. With the length of your credits though it may be more hassle than it’s worth. Obviously it’s your choice. As an alternative you could simply dissolve in that final graphic rather than having it scroll and pause. If you’re trying to give that final credit more prominence that would achieve your goal.

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

[CS2/CS3 JS] How to set Default Font for multiple documents

Hello,
How do I set the default font for any new text frames I create.
I have several thousand InDesign templates in which the default font is set to a font that is no longer licenced and therefore requires changing.
I already have a script which will open each template and change the first insertion point of any (empty) text frame to a new font but any new text frames created in these templates still want to use the unlicensed font.
Thanks for any assistance.
Simon Kemp

for existing documents:
app.activeDocument.textDefaults.appliedFont = myDoc.fonts.itemByName ('Arial\tBold');
for newly created ones:
app.textDefaults.appliedFont = myDoc.fonts.itemByName ('Arial\tBold');

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
(OSX 10.10)

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

How can I keep an intact image (w/ social media, for example) while I scroll the text to read the whole article of the magazine?

Hey, people.
I am using InDesign to build a magazine's App for iPad. See more info here: http://www.creativebloq.com/creative-cloud/how-adobe-dps-makes-digital-publishing-easy-101 34998
When I open an article, I scroll the text to keep reading it. Unfortunately, the social media stuff, which was in the left side of the screen, isn't seen anymore. I want this social media stuff to go along with text. An example is the New Yorker's App, whose image is below. Please, let me know how I can manage this using only InDesign. Thank you.

Moved to DPS forum.
You'll need to group that info with the rest of the text if you want it to move along with it.

Why can I no longer specify my preferred font for text which has a link attached to it?

I use TBird to send old school, professional looking business letters with logo image header and footers. Recently, I am unable to apply my preferred font to the website link part of my footer. This seems to have become an issue after one of the more recent upgrades of TBird. Its frustrating as I feel good graphic design requires uniformity in font style/type and size. This seems no longer possible. Now when I attach a hyperlink to my website address it changes my preferred font to something that looks like Arial and locks both font and size. It looks crappy.

<blockquote>
The only way I know its 12 pt. is that I copy into Word and check the font size there.
</blockquote>
Huge error number one, and probably cause of your problem in the first place.
<blockquote>
I would really like to see TBird use point size for fonts.
</blockquote>
Thunderbird uses HTML, HTML is expressed in pixels.
<blockquote>
In terms of not having Papyrus on you Linux box, I suppose that's you're choice.
</blockquote>
Licensing actually, not choice. The font is licensed and distributed by Microsoft. See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1113 for a list of products your recipient can install to get the font.
<blockquote>
In my outgoing email subject line I always specify that my reply is best viewed in HTML, full screen.
</blockquote>
HTML is the default for almost all mail so that does appear to be overkill. Full screen. Personally I would be just as likely to not read mail that required full screen. Mail gets about half a screen here.
<blockquote>
Most systems will automatically substitute fonts for ones not on that system, at least in Apple and PC systems. </blockquote>
Papurus actually has a higher chance of being present on a Mac system than a windows one as Apple have distributed it with OSX since 2003.
<blockquote>
Anyway all of that is a little off topic. I wanted help with why TBird intermittently messes with font size and style when I cut and pasting email responses to people.
</blockquote>
As I said at the beginning. Do not use word. Word first converts to RTF then to HTML (All done internally) The resulting HTML is extremely complex and to put it bluntly pastes as a whole page from which Thunderbird must extract only the relevant parts. (inside the body tag) The end result is the program ends up confused about what goes where.
<blockquote>
And, if there is some reason why sometimes, again I stress sometimes, it will not let me use the font of my choice for text that has a hyperlink attached to it.
</blockquote>
If your pasting from Word the most obvious thing will be that the hyperlinked text will have it's own font tags another reason I suggest you use the program your in.
* If you want it on paper use a word processor. It is what they are designed for
* If you want it in email use the email program to actually write your mail.
* If you want to guarantee the look on delivery send PDF attachments.

Italic and bold fonts for Hoefler Text are no longer available to MS Word

Apple provides regular, italic, black, and black italic styles for the Hoefler Text font. I've used them before but since I installed Snow Leopard, I cannot creat italic or bold (black) in MS Word. When I make text italic or bold (black), the characters disappear--the sentence shortens as if I had deleted the phrase, but if I change it back to regular, it reappears.
Font Book shows that I have all of these styles of Hoefler Text in the Library. I tried disabling and then enabling, but that didn't work. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, have you discovered a solution? Thank you.

Thanks for the file. It obviously helped, but I am not sure how. I probably should have taken careful notes about what I did by way of disabling and removing the .ttf fonts and then dragging in the .dfont variety. At one stage when I brought up a Hoefler document in Word, the regular Hoefler text had disappeared. I panicked and removed the .dfont version. Later, after trying something else, the text came back but (judging by the numerals) it was not Hoefler. To make a long story short, all styles of Hoefler (including italic and black) are now working. There are no duplicate font files—I used Remove Duplicates—but I have no Hoefler file in either of the two Fonts folders, even though I can see Hoefler Text in Font Book! To be safe, I used Font Book to export the Hoefler Text to a back-up folder, and the version it exported is the .ttf version. In Get Info I confirmed that it’s the 6.1d7e1 variety. I restarted the computer twice, and determined that this situation is stable. Go figure.
In any event, you set me on the right road. Hoefler Text is now working as it should. I appreciate your help.

Looking for an application that can scroll custom text over video.

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this - but here goes. In our school we have a display in the foyer that shows a looped quicktime video. I would very much like to scroll custom text with recent school related news in the forefront or things that parents and pupils should remember - kind of application that is always in the front - similar to the scrolling text news channels have along the bottom. Also possibly another app that would do similar thing but showing local weather. Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks in hope.

Where can I get fancy text fonts for Adobe Photoshop?

I have Adobe Photoshop CS(old) and I would like to know where I can obtain fancy fonts for some creative designing. Please see sample attached. Thanks in advance.

Going way back, I used to have to remove fonts, to get my OS to function properly. They really slowed the computer down. That was when I first went to a font manager, so that I could do that on the fly. OS's are MUCH better now.
Still, my machines have only about 350 installed fonts, at any one time. I have about the same number of fonts, as you do, and then just add the ones that I need for a job, letting them uninstall, when I shut down.
In general, the laptop is pretty clean, but I have about 12,000 fonts available on it. I've got about 19,000 on the workstation, but still, never have more than about 350, installed at any one time. I probably should pare down those fonts, as many have not been used, ever, and many were for particular clients, or projects, and will likely never get used again. Still, and especially with display/Headline fonts, I often go searching for just the right look, for main Titles, etc., in my Videos. Just do not do much print work nowadays.
At one time, I could backup my fonts on a CD. Now, it's two DL DVD's! Still, I paid for 95% of those suckas, and the rest were free from the Internet, so I do have an investment, and who knows what I will need to do tomorrow?

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Marcel

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Change font color in the Text Field of a Popup Key LOV

Hello,
I have a question concerning Popup Key LOV.
I want to change the font color in the Text Field of the Popup Key LOV Item.
I searched the forum but I cannot find an answer about this! Although I searched the CSS and the Popup Key LOV Template, but I do not know where to modify the font color.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?
Regards,
Tim

Hey,
thank for your reply!
I use style="color:#000000;" and it work in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer 7.0!
And that is not the first time, that there are differences in displaying those tags in the HTML Form Element Attributes and in css files, etc.
Does anybody know I to solve that?
Thank you,
