Fonts look blurred in COLOR

Why do the fonts in COLOR look so bad? I can hardly read them! All other apps are ok. The fonts look blurred. Anyone got this?

If you're anything like me, you're using Color on a monitor smaller than what Apple recommends. In Color 1.0, the scale of the user interface was not flexible. On my 15" MBP, the interface was flying off the side of the screen, and I couldn't see all of the buttons. In Color 1.0.1, it scales the user interface if your monitor is too small. On my screen, this results in somewhat blurry text across the interface, but at least I can see all of it.

MY FONT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN INDESIGN PAGES PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hello, I have a majo problem here. I have all my pages written in one font, Arial Narrow, however the width of the font looks different from page to page, it looks bold on page 1 and 2, and on page 3 it looks fine, is there any invisible setting applied to the whol page? why does it look bold? I did try toprint them, they do look different, also, there is no stroke set, i checked, and color is set to black not registration. Is there anything else I am missing???? Please help!!!!

Transparency isn't something you would adjust, per se.
Imported art may have transparency in it (like a transparent background), or you may have applied an effect like a glow or a drop shadow, or used a blending mode (all of which are transparency effects) on an object on your document page, or even adjusted an object's opacity in the effects panel to make the background show through (this is true tranparency inthe classic sense). Any of these things will result in ID redrawing the page and "emboldening" the type on that page.
There is no way to remove the eefect other than to remove the transparency from the page (if you are showing the icons for it in the pages panel, whcih you set in the panel options, you'll see a small checkerboard next to the page icon in the panel if there is transparency in use). To assure that all pages look the same if you are going to use transparency on any page, you can add a transparent object to the master page.

UI photoshop cc looks blurred

I have a macbook pro 15" I have just downloaded photoshop, illustrator and indesign all cc. Illustrator and indesign looks fine, but photoshops' UI looks blurred as if it is not ready for my retina screen
Illustrator: Photoshop:

You are missing required system fonts, or have some utility messing up font information -- and Photoshop is trying to use the font information it gets from the OS to resize the dialogs to fit the strings.

Monaco Font Looks Too Wide To Display on Konsole

I use Monaco as the default font of konsole. The bold format of Monaco font looks too wide to display a complete letter.
As shown in the picture, the last character of the file name disappears.
I also disselect the Draw intense colors in bold font checkbox in the konsole profile. It does not work. How could I fix that problem?

Blurring in Color

I did do some checking and a few other folks were having the same issue....blurring of DV footage when Round Tripping between FCP6 and Color. This is happening to me also. I can "kick" a SD video clip (DV-NTSC) to Color, make some color adjustments trip back and I noticed the clip was a little blurry. Any idea what may be causing this?? Since I am new to Color, am I missing a setting someplace that is causing the clip to blur for some reason??
Thanks!! Other than the blurring issue, Color seem to be a great addition but if all my clips blur....Not much use then.

I do all my color correction in the Color FX room. The first two rooms seem to me to be more for... conventional and literal color "correction"
I'm giving my film soft looks and putting color in places it never was, and all sorts of unconventional stuff. Plus I need to add the exact same correction over every shot in the same location, so making the Color FX template is great for me.
Unless- I'm mistaken? does the primary and secondary room have more to offer than the Color FX room? I'm a Shake guy so I immediately jumped on the node system, all I see when I look at the primary and secondary rooms are FCP's three-way color corrector.

GNOME 3 Fonts: Font looks off in Applications (GNOME Shell)

The fonts under Applications in GNOME Shell look like I'm missing a font. What font's are required by GNOME 3. There are also multiple entries of applications.

Instructions:
Backup your theme directory first. Extract the zip file and rename "gnome-shell" directory to "theme" and copy to /usr/share/gnome-shell/. This path is usually where GNOME Shell is installed.
Restart GNOME Shell by Alt, F2, then type r and press enter.
You can use the gnome-shell theme extension for easier installation of themes.
If it doesn't work check the permissions on /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme directory.
I tried Drakfire Caffe Shell Theme and fonts look much better, but I don't like colors.

Font fringe (blur) in terminal [SOLVED]

I succeeded to get rid of font fringe in Firefox by using:
$ cat /etc/fonts/local.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintfull</const></edit>
<edit name="lcdfilter" mode="assign"><const>lcdlegacy</const></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>none</const></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
but I can't get rid of it in any terminal where I can set the font size and background color, which means lxterminal and gnome-terminal.
I really need this, please tell me how could you set up your terminal with no font fringe, a normal 12 points font and white on black colors in X Window?

Wrong. There is no simple, magic button marked "remove font fringes" that you can press.
The sad reality is that font rendering is a horrendous historical mess of compromises, becauses monitors are roughly 100 dots-per-inch rather than the 600 DPI that we would like.
What you get with Infinality is better rendering in general, and more tweaking ability. But this takes effort, on your part.
The compromise ends up being a little bit of fringing. E.g. with small, bold Helvetica. An option is to turn the sub-pixel rendering off, to remove the fringing, but that looks worse to me.
Fonts also vary wildly in quality. In my terminal I've been happy for years with the Liberation Mono font.
I finally begin to understand. Thank you.
P.S. Where is this lxappearance saving its configs? Of course, no man.
EDIT: By using find to search for modified config files while I modified settings in lxappearance I found out that the settings for fonts are modified in `/home/user/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf` (and they are full of references to gtk).

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1 or 2.
FCP6 doesn't seem to have one.
Anyone heard of one that works really well & that is fast to use?

Jim,
You are totally missing the point. I am an Adobe Premiere Pro instructor. I have been for 5 years. I added my 1st FCP system 2 weeks ago & am experiencing typical transitional curiosities as all who switch to other platforms & editing apps do.
PP has a color pass filter. I was curious to see if FCP did. That sounds logical to me:) If posting the question about the possibility of there being a color pass plugin bothers you, well , that has to do with you.
If you take a moment to read the prior correspondence, you might see my point.
I think we can bury the hatchet now:)

On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

Thank you Sanjit,
I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

Jan

Saving as PDF: fonts look crappy?

I have a small test .psd image with just one piece of text. When I save this as .pdf from Photoshop CS4 (using Save As and choose Photoshop PDF format) and open the .pdf with Acrobat 9, the font looks pretty messed up. Here's an example of what I mean:
http://i26.tinypic.com/5flp2p.jpg
I have attached the example .psd (and saved .pdf) here.
Now the strange thing is: it doesn't happen *always*, sometimes the PDF looks all right. I can't seem to detect what it depends on. I have plenty of available RAM and harddisk space, that's for sure. It seems to occur especially when I already have another PDF open in Acrobat as well. For example, if I copy the test.pdf from above zip to test2.pdf, then open one in Acrobat, then the other, the first may look all right (not always) and the 2nd usually looks messed up.
What's going on? I'm not sure if this is a problem with Acrobat rather than PS, but it happens ONLY with PDFs I save from PS. Never with PDFs from any other source.
Thanks in advance if someone can clear this up!

Font embedding rules, for sure. If a font is considered "locked" and thus un-embeddable, any program is required to convert it to contours as per the PDF language ruels. By keeping a document open under the same name you may just trigger that weird behavior and PS is just not good at it. On the other hand, you could just use a wrong PDF preset and it flattens things to a low quality. As a third possibility, PS could jsut embed the font name reference and then for some inconceivable reason it doesn't get associated in Acrobat. Hard to tell. I'm just not in the mood to do any deeper investigation after a hot, long day full of work, so maybe someone else has a better answer for you...

Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Text looks Blurred when there is a Image on Page.

Not all the time, but some text looks blurred when there is a Image, even if i export it as PDF it remains the same. Can anybody help me how to fix it?

Fonts look bad in OSX jagged text

Hello
I thought apple gave us font smoothing in OSX! My fonts look terrible in QuarkXpress6.0. Is this what I have to look forward to? I miss my ATM.
I did the "font smoothing thing" in appearence-no change.
Also will all my older fonts from when I used OS 7 +8, will these still work in OSX? and by Quark XPress?
Please enlighten me!
all fonts look bad; Goudy old style, bellvue etc. (postscript type 1)
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 21" screen

if I zoom out in Quark to view document at say 125% the 45 pt type really looks bad
Hmm. I'm unable to duplicate your problem. I've pasted some random text into Quark, sized it to 45 pt and set the zoom to 125%. No matter if I go up or down, the fonts look very smooth with both Goudy Old Style and News Gothic (I have the Adobe version, not MT, which is from MonoType). Well, if I look real close, I can see a little bit of jaggies around curves. But nothing very noticable.
Is your 21" monitor a CRT or LCD? LCD always produce the best image when used at their native resolution. A CRT's best display varies depending on whether it has a shadow mask or aperture grill tube. If your monitor has an independent control for sharpening, it may be too high.
I have some fonts installed that I don't know where they came from ex: News Gothic MT (Microsoft I think) Will these view and print okay in any program?
As long as it's a standard Mac suitcase style TrueType font, or a complete and proper Type 1 PostScript font, it should just as well as any other.
I keep all my fonts in classic folder and manage w/font book (thats another story) It seems that my classic apps, Illustrator, see most of the fonts all the time eventhough I turned many off in fontbook. Also illustrator doesn't see ALL the fonts.
That's a handful. When it comes to Classic, the rules are a little different. Fonts you manually place into the OS 9 Fonts folder, or are put there by the OS when activating them from Font Book with OS 9 as the choice to be activated for, fonts are then available to both Classic and OS X.
If you deactivate them in Font Book, the fonts will become unavailable to OS X apps. However, any Classic apps will continue to see them until you shut down all OS 9 applications and Classic. In other words, once you open fonts for Classic, they can't be closed to Classic without shutting the entire environment down. Confused yet?
As far as Illustrator not seeing all the fonts, that relates to this part of your question:
Please explain the limitations of classic apps and fonts.
Classic can use any fonts that were in existence for the Mac before OS X. All of your older Mac TrueType and Type 1 PostScript fonts will work in OS X and Classic. Fonts that will work as is in OS X that you couldn't use before on a Mac are PC TrueType fonts. If you have copied any of the OS X .dfonts into the OS 9 Fonts folder, those will not work. A .dfont is a variation of a TrueType font, with the data in the data fork rather than the resource fork as they are with the older Mac TrueType fonts. Neither OS 9 or any Classic apps can read these fonts. Those are likely the ones not showing up in Illustrator.
It sounds like you do a lot of work with fonts. While Apple has improved Font Book quite a bit in Tiger, it's still very much a consumer font manager for those who handle fonts only occasionally. You'd be much better off using a font manager such as Suitcase X1 or Font Agent Pro.

My typewriter toolbar is graying out the ability to change font size, type, and color.

Here's what I have done in the past. Maybe not elegant, but
it works. (I
use PHP, but I'm sure you can modify for ASP.)
In the HEAD of each web page, include regular old embedded
STYLE tags,
but INCLUDE an external PHP file:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<?php include('styles/testcss.php'); ?>
</style>
</head>
Now in that included PHP file, just have CSS code which pulls
in your
dynamic data. Here's an example snippet:
body {
color: #600;
background-color: <?php echo
$row_recordset['bgcolor'];?>
Of course, you'll need the code for the recordset somewhere
too.
