Fonts in Win 7 and Win xp

Some pages display fonts more clearly in Win xp than in Win 7.
Clear Type is disabled on both OS.
I'd appreciate your help.
Here are two examples.

  • [SOLVED] wine and wine-silverlight

    hello
    i wanted to watch netflix so i installed netflix desktop
    i needed wine-silverlight for that but it conflicts with wine
    how can i install both of them? or is there an other way to watch netflix on my linux computer?

    In many cases you can use wine-silverlight instead of wine. The improved API may result in a few bugs in other functions becoming visible, so if that is the case you can use the precompiled pipelight and wine-compholio packages from the pipelight repository. http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-instal … tion_1_2_1
    Or you can modify some variables in the PKGBUILDs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi … _variables

    I launched Wine separated version installed by PlayOnLinux, and just made a bash script in /usr/bin/wine:
    #!/bin/bash
    /home/webnull/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.1.44/usr/bin/wine $@
    And wine runs from /home/webnull/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.1.44/usr/bin/win using /usr/bin/wine but this is not a solution, its just a shortcut to other installed wine.

    Here is some additional information that may or may not be of any relevance. I do not know.
    On the old server, I compiled the code with the compilation commands: f95 program.for
    I was able to compile and execute code with small, medium size or large arrays (with or without the additional -openmp flag).
    If I repeat the same command: f95 program.for
    on the new server, I get the following compilation error message for programs with medium size and large arrays:
    In function `newmaxmalecor':
    /mnt/ide0/home/gustaf/education/programming/cesprod100//chicago.for:4340: relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol
    If I compile with the additional flags: f95 -xmodel=medium -m64 program.for
    on the new server, there are no compilation errors and I can run the code in sequence.
    However, when I compile with
    f95 -xmodel=medim -m64 -openmp program.for
    on the new server, compilation works, but I cannot execute the code with medium size and large arrays.
    The programs for which I have to add the "-xmodel=medium" flag on the new server to be able to compile the code and run it in sequence, are exactly the ones for which I get segmentation faults when I introduce the openmp flag and try to execute the code in parallel fashion.
    Is this just a coincidence?

  • [SOLVED] wine arial font only bold and italic

    I have installed office 2003 in wine. Some one send me a document in arial regular font. It looks fine in winxp, but when I open with the word by wine the all the arial font looks bold and italic.
    I have also tried with winetricks corefonts but nothing changed.

    The problem got solved when I copy pasted the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/TTF to wine fonts folder.
    Now arial looks fine as of windows.

  • Wine and resolution issue

    hello!
    i have used archlinux for a year or so. everything went quite perfectly, but because archlinux is not multilib (i need it for my 32-bit blitzmax application) i installed gentoo last week. and because gentoo did not get me "that feeling" of arch, i went back and reinstalled arch...completely new. now i have got problems with 32bit-wine. i am using arch64 and never had such a problem. we are discussing that in the german forums without any solutions yet so i hope you could help me. i guess nobody else has this problem (because i did not read of it) so i must be an idiot and do sth. wrong .
    ok, first, this issue does not appear when running native 64bit applications, like frozen-bubble iin fullscreen. so i guess it has sth to do with the lib32 packages...dont know. when i am running windows games iin wine (bin32-wine 1.1.17 or bin32-wine-suse 1.1.18 from aur) in fullscreen, wine changes the resolution as it has to be (640x480, 800x600 or whatever), but i can still use my mouse and move it to the right or bottom edge and can so navigate through the whole screen ( so i can see the rest of my gnome desktop for example). because of that my games are unplayable. it happens to morrowind, half-life (the old one, not the source-based) & half-life 2, so it not depends on one game. i tried running wine using xrandr resolution changer (changed in wine config) but the i cannot change the resolution from my native one (1680x1050), also not perfectly, because i want to play my games in 800x600 ^^.
    but remember, it did work quite well two weeks ago :-\ (i will never change my distro again, i will never change my distro again... )
    here is maybe stuff you will need:

    but i also tried different other xorg.conf's. i had also this minimalistic one:
    Section "Device"

    but the i had problems changing my resolution in gnome (via gnome-display-properties).

  • SB Live Platinum 5.1 and Win XP Media Edition 2

    Just a quick question to see if I am heading in the right direction, I have an intel p4 board with an Intel 2.4 ghz chip previous OS was Win XP Pro with sp2....the card ran fine...the odd application that came with the card didn't but overall...life was good..
    Then I upgraded the system, same board, same cpu, radeon 9000 pro video card, tv wonder capture card, new OS (Win Media Edition 2005). first loaded old drivers for SB Li've CD then updated all drivers and apps for creatives site..now can't seem to get li've dri've recognised, remote center doesn't seem to work launcher doesn't work and have no sound, at all. Also getting message from Windows "that one or more drivers failed to load at start up" and audio drivers for mixer driver, and sound font settings, as well as mixer settings all failed diagnostics (creatives diagnostics tool)
    As I am still fairly new on the software end I thought I would look here before I got things too messed up.
    Is there a SB Li've driver issue with Win Media Edition or should i just try a driver reload?
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as my time just seems to be becoming more and more limited...(isn't everyone's!)
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Well, just thought I'd update everybody (you know...me, myself, and I),
    As I said previously, i upgrade the system with a larger hard dri've, tv capture card, and a new O/S
    Thats where life went sour....my SB Li've platinum 5. digital sound card ( which I must say I was very fond of...) wouldn't work
    Tried a clean uninstall/ reinstall of my card and drivers...no go
    made sure that I had the latest creative drivers for XP Pro....no go
    checked to see that there were no outstanding bios/ mobo updates that needed to be installed...no go
    moved the card from the pci slot that it had previously worked fine in (under XP Pro no less)... no go
    made sure O/S was completely updated... no go
    no adware/spyware etc. ..... no go
    checked for any hardware/software conflicts... no go
    disabled all virus, spyware, firewall programs.. no go
    performed clean boot of XP as per MS instructions....no go and I might add screwed up my system so badly that I had to perform a fresh install of the OS (and yes I followed their instructions to the letter!)
    finally, I removed the sound card and went with my onboard audio...fixed...cost priceless!
    Now as no one has posted to this thread but me, I am going to add my opinion to this forum
    To date I have NEVER, EVER ran anything but a Creative sound card because they have always provided the best products and software for the audiophile...well nothing lasts forever.
    I really didn't want to ditch my card as I purchased it weeks after it was released and it has seen win 98, win 98se, win me, win xp pro sp, win xp pro sp2, and finally win mce 2005 as well as numerous hardware upgrades come and go, and has always performed beautifully.
    Until now that is. Judging from what I have run into and what I have seen on these forums, covering the li've,audigy, and audigy 2 series cards....there is a major problem here, these cards were all designed to be upgradeable over time! Now I can understand Creative's point of view, it costs a lot of time and money to resurch and design new drivers (particularly with microsofts insistance on driver signing and compatibility)....but I also understand and sympathize with the large number of people frustrated with their product and Creative, in many cases we also have a large cash outlay into Creative's products (in some cases 2 or 3 hundred dollars or much more!), so is it really too much to ask that we can still get updated drivers for some of these older cards with similar if not identical cpu/chipset designs?!?
    Not to mention the fact that, for the newer users anyway, the whole driver update procedure should not be as complicated as brain surgery!!! Our li'ves are already complicated enough..
    Sorry to go on..but these are just my thoughts on the subject.
    Good luck all!

    my graphics card is Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller, and maybe should install a module for it works with wine.
    The window where you start all options configuration appears to me, but when I go to Play THPS4! showed me the error. The version of my wine is wine-1.1.8. I don't know if I have to install any shape or form over any other option in winecfg.

    Can you try it on a desktop comp using arch and wine instead?  Maybe it's a graphics problem?  Anyway, I've checked the min req. and it's quite low..
    Please check this site if your game is supported or if ever you want to play another game in the future.

    Christina,
    Since you are in a mixed environment, you should avoid using the operating
    system commands for portability reasons. You can use the -fns option on
    the ftexec command which allows you to override the environment/registry
    variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS.
    Example: ftexec.exe -fns computername:portnumber
    Hope this helps in your situation.

    Hello Christina,
    try the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv() - method befor you make the

    Because the RunCommand executes a new shell, the calling Apllication A

    Hope it helps.

    I can have mixed platform UNIX and Windows 95, so FORTE_NS_ADDRESS can be
    an environment variable or a line in forte.ini.
    Can you think of a workaround to this problem ?
    TIA

  • Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

    I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
    Will this work?
    Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
    Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
    Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
    Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
    Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
    P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
    And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
    "Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
    Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
    What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
    And why do I need to remove drives?

    I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
    Don't know what Linux requires.
    GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
    As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
    The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
    Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
    Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
    BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

  • Is fox 35 and win. 8.1 and theAMD A8 compatable ?

    Have loaded and uninstalled fox 35 several times----no error warnings---set fox for default-----but the result is a Franken browser part Explorer 11 and part Fox 35 and not usable . On the 1st uninstall Explorer 11 vanished but it's still there---when I reload Fox it's the same Franken browser and I found Exp. 11 when I tried ''new internet connection'' it seems 11 is already running but not showing any longer on desktop or in programs but it is intact and not a franken browser. Is there conflict with using Fox 35 and Win. 8.1 and the AMD A8 ??

  • Adobe products under OS X and Win XP

    Can anyone give me a comparison of the performance of Photoshop,etc. when running them under OS X and Win XP (boot camp of course on the same machine).
    I'm assuming CS2. Just raw performance...I will have to factor in the time I would save using the awesomely productive OS X and clunky old XP.
    Thanks!

    sonicsoul,
    Up to now there's a HUGE difference of speed and performance with Photoshop CS2 between XP and OSX. The thing that makes Phosothop CS2 slower on MacOS X (Intel CD) is that the app is created for PowerPC, so running Photoshop CS2 (or any other app that's not yet Universal) with Rosetta, will make the app work HALF speed as on a PowerPC one. On windowsXP it works reaaaaaaally fast. I'm gonna use it till Adobe launches a Universal version. And I suggest that you do the same.
    Hope that answers your question.

  • Im trying a home network between Mac and Win 7, but its very slow

    Hi guys,
    ive searched for this for the last couple of days, but i havent found my sollution yet.
    I have been trying to setup a network between my macbook and win7, and it works...i can move data.
    The problem is that it is VERY slow. (2MB/sec max in the monitor app, it takes 6 minutes to transfer 1GB)
    This is my setup:
    Macbook 2011 ML 10.8 (I use WiFi to the router)
    Zyxel P-2601HN-F1
    Dell PC (connected thru ethernet cable to the router)
    The ethernet adapter of the Dell is 192.168.1.37 and its a new cabel.
    So i type in CMD-K, then smb://192.168.1.37 and connect with user and pass
    I tried all the stuff i read here, like changing channels, but it stays really slow.
    The crazy part is when i do both in Wifi, its almost as fast as with cable...and i DO use different ips in the smb connection
    Maybe im going wired all over the studio and my house, but i would be awesome if this would work at least at 10/20MB/s, thats almost usb stick speed.
    please help,
    wendel

    So i bought the Airport Extreme and hooked up all my hd's on the usb port...
    the wireles upload speed from macbook to hd's is 5-6MB/s which is a lot better (40-48Mbit/s)
    in the end i think its a protocol & adapter settings issue, with Windows using smb2, and apple using some old protocol from the 90's in ML 10.8.x
    Also, there are a lot of (for me) complicated network adapter settings one has to know, before getting great transfer speeds between Win and OSX...so its easy to mess it up in Windows 7.
    I read that Mavericks switched to smb2 too...so let's wait for all my software to be mavericks compatible and see how fast that will be with my Airport Extreme!
    cheerio

  • Printing from Adobe Reader X with HP UPD PCL6 ver 61.107.4.8232 and Win 7 x64

    Hello,
    I have a Windows 2003 32-bit server with HP UPD PCL6 driver, version 61.107.4.8232 installed for several HP P4014dn printers.  I'm running into an issue printing from Adobe X on Win 7 x64 machines.  There is a delay of about 5-10 minutes, per page, before the job is spooled and printed.
    Any thoughts on why this only affects Win 7 x64 machines?  Printing works without any issues on Win XP and Win 7 32-bit machines.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is true when printing a .pdf file opened thru IE and a saved .pdf file.
