Fonts innacurate in dreamweaver ???

Hello
I have a Fonts innacuraty in dreamweaver... i don't know if it is dreamweaver or illustrator that is wrong, but either way the result is the same.
Have a look.
The 4 top line are Dreamweaver Verdana fonts while the 4 bottom are a jpg made from the AI file while being wrote in Verdana fonts too.
As you see they are not the same. And before you ask, yes i did check in Illustrator if the letter were not in stroke/bold/whatever mode but no. stroke is at null, so is everything else...
They all have the same setting.
Here is the body CSS
body {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-top: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background-image: url(images/fond.png);
text-align: center;
background-position: bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-size: 11px;
font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
They are all exactly the same (even the 11 PX for pixel, not pt), soooo.. why do i have such a differente in my fonts ? I even tried to put the "font: Verdana" only. same result
Thanks for any of your help.

Owh... That's hurting.
Thanks all for answering.. there is another solution, not fun in that case .... I will type all i need in illustrator, Create outline, save as PNG ( i need transparency because of Background ) and use them that way.. i however fear that it wont be as sharp as a real character....
unless someone got a fourth solution ?

Font problems with dreamweaver on Mac

Hi, i installed dreamweaver cs3 as a part of web premium
suite on intel mac os x 10.4.10. My international settings are set
to Turkish. There are some oddities with fonts. Dreamweaver font
list displays some fonts with CE suffix (Helvetica CE, Lucida
Grande CE ...) but these fonts are not installed on my computer.
How does dreamweaver displays these fonts? I checked the install
log and couldn't find where these fonts are located. Other
applications in the web premium package doesn't show these fonts.
Also, dreamweaver is having problems with Turkish characters
if I don't use these fonts. For example, I want to use default
operating system fonts Helvetica or Lucida Grande (which have
Turkish character support and works fine with Adobe Photoshop CS3
and Illustrator CS3) in css font family but Dreamweaver can not
display Turkish characters with these fonts. If I use Helvetica CE
instead of Helvetica, Turkish characters are displayed without any
problem but this is not an option because most people have
Helvetica (not Helvetica CE). Previously I was using Dreamweaver MX
2004 on windows and didn't have any problems with Turkish
characters.

Update,
I have this type of code in the old pages on my body text I'm guessing it's because in most of my pages i.e. old dreamweaver mx days I've selected the text and formatted with the property inspector instead of css by mistake.
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">text eh?
</font></p>
But I want them like this so i can change it all with css vs manually.
<p>text eh?</p>
So I've followed your advice and searched and replaced the former with the later on the dreamweaver template page and on a few individual pages, hoping that will allow me to eventually use css to adjust it all.
I am very very tempted to do a global search and replace with changing
this <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
to this <p>
and this </font></p>
to this </p>
but I'm kinda worried if I don't do each page manually and test each one, all 148 pages, oh joy, and check something it could bork my site in ways i'll take forever to find out and fix. Am I correct in worrying about this?

UI font size in dreamweaver is too small - can it be changed?

Hi,
I just purchased Dreamweaver CS6 and found to my dismay that the UI font sizes are so small that I need a magnifying glass to read them. At least they give the option for larger UI font sizes in Photoshop, but not in dreamweaver - as far as I can see.
This was one of the reasons I abandoned dreamweaver after version 8 (Macromedia).
Adobe really needs to sort this problem out for different screen sizes and accessibility. Even freeware authors get it right.

I agree, but it is not only DW that is a problem, most of the applications that I use, including this forum, have the same problem.
My solution, I wear a pair of IT-glasses, sort of like reading glasses that have been further refined for the screen.
My solution prior to that is as follows
Right-click on the desktop
Select "Screen Resolution"
In the Screen Resolution dialog, there are 3 options in the lower center.
Click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
Chose one of the 3 pre-set sizes <OR>
In the left column, click "Set Custom text size (DPI)"
Then scale the ruler until the text size suits your needs.
This had the unfortunate consequence of reducing the workspace, hence my glasses.

Fonts used for dreamweaver program not working

Hi I had installed fonts on my computer using font book and since then, I can not load Dreamweaver! I turned off and deleted most of the fonts and dreamweaver will now load, however the font used for the system - Example - on the preferences screen - the font used by the program is wacked and the fonts on the intro screen are just crazy symbols.
I am wondering what fonts are used by default by Dreamweaver for the program itself to function. if I open font book at the same time - both programs crash. - thank you very much in advance!!!!
please help see attached screen shot.
Christina

First open Font Book and validate all fonts. I believe you have to select all fonts cmd+a, and then click file->validate font. If any are corrupt, delete them. Also for future reference you may want to create a new collection (bottom left plus) with your custom fonts to avoid this issue in the future. Unfortunately, with a corrupt font this can be a long enduring process.

Can I transfer the font list into Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi and thanks for reading,
I just installed Dreamweaver CS4 after depending on DW 8 for
the last few years. It's a fantastic upgrade. But I miss my old
font list. I spent a lot of time creating a great list of cascading
fonts for my style sheets in DW 8. Is there any way to grab that
list and import (if that's the right word) it into Dreamweaver CS4?
I'm referring to the list of installed fonts that DW displays
after typing the CSS font property.

> In Vista, does is customized version there or in
> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\...
I think it can go either place. The former location is
vulnerable to a
reinstall, though, while the latter is not. I'm assuming
that's what you
are asking....

Fireworks font problem in Dreamweaver

Right now I'm working on a mock-up for a website in Fireworks and coding it in Dreamweaver. I'm using Georgia as my font for a welcome message in the center of the site, however, the font appears differently in Dreamweaver as it does in Fireworks, and I'm pretty sure I'm using the same font in both programs. I have it coded like this on my external CSS (and yes, the style sheet is linked to my html):
#welcome {
          width:432px;
          height:106px;
          float:left;
          margin-top:60px;
          font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
          font-size:45;
          color:#666666;
          text-align:center;
and the result is this (in Dreamweaver):
and this is what it looks like in Fireworks:
As you can see, the font looks more bold in Dreamweaver, and it looks taller and skinnier in Fireworks even though I'm using a font size of 45 for both programs.
Anyone know a way to make the Dreamweaver text look the same as the Fireworks text?

Thank you! I actually had to create a new CSS declaration specifically for the header in the "welcome" div to get those two rules to work, like this:
#welcome {
          width:432px;
          height:106px;
          float:left;
          margin-top:60px;
          font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
          color:#666666;
          text-align:center;
#welcome h1 {
          font-weight:normal;
          font-size:45px;
As you can see, I took   font-weight:normal;   and   font-size:45px;   and put them into the separate declaration   #welcome h1   to specifically affect the header. This was the only way I could get it to work.
Thank you so much!

System folder fonts missing in Dreamweaver CS3

I am in the process of designing a website. I started it in
photoshop; where I used Myriad Pro, light.
I then took it into Fireworks, sliced it, then exported into
dreamweaver. Dreamweaver doesn't have Myriad Pro in its list?
(though it is in windows system folder 'fonts')
Does anyone know how I get it into dreamweaver please?

Repeat step 2 for each subsequent font in the combination.
To add a font that is not installed on your system, type the
font name
in the text field below the Available Fonts list and click
the <<
button to add the font to the combination. Adding a font not

When you have finished selecting specific fonts, select a

Generic font families include cursive, fantasy, monospace,
sans-serif,
and serif. If none of the fonts in the Chosen Fonts list are
available
on the users system, the text appears in the default
font associated
with the generic font family. For example, the default
monospace font
on most systems is Courier.

Edge Web fonts missing in Dreamweaver

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.10.1 and the latest Dreamweaver CC update. When I click Manage Fonts, Adobe Edge Web Fonts do not appear. There is just a search field at the top under the words, "Edge Web Fonts give you access..." A list of items to the left invite me to search for the best fonts for headings, paragraphs, etc. According to the tutorial, the whole box should be filled with fonts. Any ideas?

Hello,
in my German DW this "Manage Fonts" appears in the moment, when I start a css command (see my screenshots)
and
where I now can select my needed font.
To add the font list Adobe has prepared this link: Dreamweaver Help | Add Edge Web Fonts to the Font list

Increase font size on Dreamweaver dialog menus.

I'm using Dreamweaver 8.x.
One thing I find disturbing is that the fonts in the server
behaviour
boxes etc., are too small for these middle aged eyes.
Is there a way to increase these font sizes ? In the options
pane there
is a way to size fonts up, but these don't seem to affect the
'Insert
Record' etc. boxes where the server data is tiny small
letters too
difficult for me to read.
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Sorry, but no. You have to increase the font size at the OS
level.

Problem loading Tahoma font at launch (Dreamweaver 13.1 update)

Original post by LawrenceMound in http://forums.adobe.com/message/5633631#5633631
After updating to the newest release (13.1) of Dreamweaver. The program will not launch I get an error arcoss the launch screen that "there was a problem loading the font (Tahoma) says to load or enable the font and restart". But the font is already enabled and is installed on in the system. The program will not lauch period. Meanwhile I am in the middle of several projects and cannot access Dreamweaver ar all. I think your testing process needs to be reviewed... seriously. If I go back and uninstall and re-install can I get back to 13.0 so I can at least get back to work while you guys try to fix this release.

Hi Guys,
Over the last two days I've had to uninstall Dreamweaver CC twice, waste an hour trying to communicate with someone on the unbelievably slow chat "support" and another hour on the phone with Dreamweaver phone support trying different workarounds. All because I foolishly updated Dreamweaver in the middle of a project. Why did I update? because Dreamweaver was crashing about 10-12 times a day.
After updating to the newest release (13.1) of Dreamweaver the program will no longer launch. I get an error arcoss the launch screen that tells me "there was a problem loading the fonts (Tahoma or Verdana)". It says I need to load or enable the fonts. But the fonts are already enabled and installed on the system. The program will not launch period. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the fonts but nothing helps.
I'm so frustrated that I don't know whether to cry or scream. I can't believe I'm paying a monthly fee for this program! Please please please don't release updates that are going to break the application. You need to consider compensating your users by lowering your monthly fees.

How to change font size in dreamweaver

hello? this is really a bit of overkill for a simple question. could someone please help with this?
and while we're at it there's a fly i want to kill with a sledge hammer

If by changing font-size you mean in your web pages, the answer is use CSS with values in px, em or %.
body {font-size: 100%}
p {font-size: 1em}
h1 {font-size: 3em}
h2 {font-size: 2.5em}
h3 {font-size: 2em}
h4 {font-size: 1.5em}
and so on....

Why is code font blurred in Dreamweaver CC?

Hi,
Aim: I want to match how code looks on my new Mac Mini (using DWCC on a Dell U2412 screen) with how it looked on my old 24" iMac (using DW CS5).
Issue: I had my code certain colours, size and font which I've tried to match in the new version. I can't get the font to display the same. I used Monaco at 7pt on the iMac but the same font and size is now antialiased in DWCC, where previously it wasn't. Is there anything I can do about this? I've read it could be something to do with the latest CC versions being set up for Retina/hi-DPI screens. Consequently the font that wasn't aliased now is due to the sharper screen you get on Retina displays requiring it. If this is the case I'd really like a way to turn it off.
As a side note to this, we use ColdFusion a lot and I can't change any of the code colours on those pages like I can .html files. This probably sounds a non-issue but combine the lack of my usual colour scheme with the blurred/aliased font and it's really making it hard for me to see my code clearly. If I can't change code colours on CFM pages or turn off the aliased font, can anyone recommend a good, free, coding font for Mac OSX please?
Thanks in advance

My issue with the CF part is I can't change the colours of the code, as in 'Preferences > Code Coloring'. Not that the code has no colouring. I don't like the default code colours and have my own set I've used for years. When I tried adding as you mention the extensions to the 'Edit in Code...' section it didn't change the fact I can't change the colours of the code. I've just got really used to seeing 'my' code colouring and not the default that with every update of DW the first thing I've done is change all the colours in Preferences.

Fonts in Dreamweaver not appearing in Chrome/IE/Safari ?

Hi
I recently downloaded a particular font I liked :
Akzidenz Grotesk Light
Basically, it then appeared successfully in my font list in Dreamweaver.
I applied it successfully to my CSS rule. Looks good right ?
Nope - when I preview this dreamweaver page in Chrome/IE/Safari, this font defaults to Times New Roman ???
Do I require a font license with this font [Akzidenz Grotesk Light] - in order for it to work ??
Is there a workaround - this is very frustrating.....I don't quite understand ?
ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED - very frustrated irishman here
thanks
Brian

Akzidenz Grotesk Light is not a web safe font. And I suspect it is not a file type that is recognized by your browsers.
For best results, use font-families from the Web Safe Font Stack
http://cssfontstack.com/
Or, use embedded Custom Web Fonts from a font distribution network like Google Web Fonts, Adobe TypeKit, or Edge Web Fonts.
