Fonts render differently

Hello everyone! Trying to reproduce a nice formal CV that I found on the web. See a screenshot below:
FontFinder says that the font being rendered is OpenSans and the font-size is 18px for the first, red, header. For the second header it says OpenSans, 16px. For the body: Arial, 12px.
And here what I get when picking the same values with InDesign (page size A4, 100% preview):
What's wrong with InDesign? Why are the fonts so large although the values are the same?
Would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Here is the original: Formal CV

Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

We published a captivate course that uses all sans serif fonts. The fonts appear as expected when tested in Firefox and Safari on OS X 10.8.5. However, when tested in IE8 on Windows 7 one of the text captions appears as a serif font. Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

Hi,
I did as you suggested. The repost is in the "PDF language" forum, and we have an indication that the pdf file might be ambiguous as to the choice of a transparency blending space:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714292
However, in the meantime, I noticed that this issue is not (or hardly) noticeable if the file is opened as the first file in the session. However, as soon as one file (the same or another one) has been opened (and possibly closed - does not matter as long as the Reader stays open) and the file in question is loaded by any means (drag&drop, File-Open, Explorer double-click), it becomes really ugly. I guess this is why many people in the discussion boards have a hard time reproducing this issue, leading to the assumption that it is very system specific. I assume it is quite general.
In any case, if a file looks differently depending on whether another file has been open before, this is DEFINITELY a thing to look into for the Reader guys, wouldn't you say?
Best regards,

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.

How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

What is the best approach to render different images depending on the device?

I have been looking around for a few days but I couldnt find a good way to render different image rendition, depending on the device.
I have one* mobile site (from a desktop site blueprint). I use the mobileimage components in several places of the site. The problem is that some images need to be different (different resolutions and shape) depending on which device is trying to access the content.
I want one image for ipad , and one image for iphone.
Is there any solution for this, built-in CQ?
I have tried reading about the DAM renditions... but the image component is not aware of them, and does not use them as far as I know.
Any help with this is really appreciated
Thanks!

Hi Horacio,
I'm not sure this will work, because I've never tried it. Somewhere I read using BrowserMap you can achieve it. Have you looked at http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/mobile.html
Thanks,

Fonts behave different in Photoshop in comparison with Illustrator

I have a problem: it seems that some fonts behave different in Photoshop CS than in Illustrator CS on my Windows XP. Where Illustrator opens a vector (Ill) EPS file correct Photoshop shows me wrong characters sometimes: for example: an é becomes a wrong character: Capital O with a stroke through it. Frutiger was used.
My question is: where does Photoshop behave different reading fonts in comparison with Illustrator?

Perhaps you forgot to embed the font?
Here comes an example, using characters with accents.
The font is GillSans-Schoolbook. The font or subset is embedded.
The file extension TXT should be replaced by EPS after downloading.
The EPS doesn't contain a preview image.
The file is correctly handled by
Photoshop CS2 (opened)
InDesign CS2 (placed)
Illustrator CS2 (opened)
PSAlter (PostScript interpreter by Quite)
All characters with accents are missing in
Word 2007 (insert graphic)

My fonts are different from DW to Photoshop

Hi all,
I have designed a layout in photoshop, using sample text of Arial 10pt with no layer effects.
However, when I import my layout into CSS, and then add real text inside the DIVS, the Arial 10pt font appears different.
As shown above, the text becomes significantly larger in DW (top) than it appears in Photoshop (bottom) and also becomes smoother and less pixelated looking.
So, how do I overcome this text difference? Is it possible for me to get my text in Dreamweaver to look EXACTLY like it does in Photoshop?
Thanks if anyone can help,
Korey

Point size is nearly meaningless on screen. It depends on too many factors. It's main use is for print.
Use pixel size. You can set Photoshop to use pixels for text in your preferences, or if you do print work, you can change it on a case by case basis.

Font issue - in all my replies, sent and forwarders the font is different size and style.

font issue - in all my replies, sent and forwarders the font is different size and style. Sometimes it changes while I am typing in mid sentence. I tried to adjust using tools, options, advanced. But nothing seems to stick. How can I make all emails have same font style and size?

I do not know how up to date this is, but there are menus listed in how the message displays when you compose and open an email. [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Font_settings_in_Thunderbird#Message_display] That may help you set the preferences.

[SOLVED] Font render/refresh fail after upgrade

After upgrading last Thursday some applications have trouble rendering or refreshing text.
LibreOffice
Claws-Mail
In claws-mail, I do see some of the text re-appear after scrolling. For LibreOffice the problem only manifests itself in the menu bar, not in the document contents.
I don't think it's related to the OpenJDK bug mentioned on this board since claws-mail doesn't depend on OpenJDK.
Can anyone give pointers on where to investigate the cause of this problem?
Update: problem seems xrandr/dual-screen related, see my later comment.
Final update: xf86-video-intel was the culprit, see my steps for downgrading.

Hooray, managed to find the cause.
Looked through all the packages that were upgraded on that day, you can find these in: /var/log/pacman.log
Then proceeded to downgrade all the packages related to video/fonts things that I recognised; 'intel-dri', all the '*mesa*' packages, 'wxgtk' and 'xf86-video-intel'. Tested after every downgrade, and it turned out only 'xf86-video-intel' caused the font render bug.
The upgrade in the log:
/var/log/pacman.log
[2014-06-18 02:21] [PACMAN] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.99.911-2 -> 2.99.912-1)
The downgrade:
wget http://seblu.net/a/arm/packages/x/xf86-video-intel/xf86-video-intel-2.99.911-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U xf86-video-intel-2.99.911-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Different fonts at different mail accounts

hey. how can i have different fonts at different mail accounts? thanks. m

You can create a custum tree node and change node label string to html string.
class FileNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode {
     private boolean explored = false;
     public FileNode(File file)      {
          //doing some thing
     public String toString() {
        String displayString = "TestString";
        if (displayString.trim().length()>4)
displayString="<html><b>"+displayString.substring(0,4)+"</b>"+filename.substring(4)+"</html>";
          return displayString;
     }You can change color and font for display string by your rule using html.

Staff? Text rendering incompatibility Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6 Websafe fonts render issue

Text rendering incompatibility
Safari 7.06 and Muse 2014.1.1.6
Websafe fonts render poorly when on top of a
‘Browser Fill’ has ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
or when
Any ‘composition is set below the text and composition is set to ‘pin’
Comparison Web safe fonts render
Chrome = all good
Firefox = all good
Safari running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad
As mentioned these are websafe font / also occurs with self/hosted fonts
unfortunately client is viewing on Ipad that is non retina and uses Safari.
Any work around?
Thanks
Milton

Hi Zak
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have been reviewing this issue on a number of screens an Browsers – I realise the huge hassle of compatibility comments.
Below links and further explanation and screen shots
Thanks again
Milton
Web safe fonts (e.g. helvetica / arial) render poorly when:
Any ‘composition’ is set below the text and the 'composition' is set to ‘pin’
See first scroll page at www.edehorton.com
The top slideshow is 'pinned' and it is this action that creates the issue for text on the whole page.
It also occurs when text is on top of a ‘Browser Fill’ that has an ‘Image added’ and ‘scrolling’ check box left unchecked’
See first scroll page a www.edehorton.com/judaica.html
creates the issue for text on the whole page.
I can remedy these situations by ‘unpinning' the 'compostion’ or placing the ‘pinned' 'composition' above the text
or in the second instance by turning the ‘scrolling’ radio check button in ‘Browser fill’ on.
Screen snap shots below
Comparison 'Web safe font - Helvetica' plus 'Webfont' render
Chrome = all good / Firefox = all good /Safari running on ‘retina’ displays = all good Safari 5.06 on' non-retina' = all good
Safari 7.06 running on ‘non-retina’ displays = bad

Fonts are different in PS CC

Please help me....Some Fonts are different in PS CC ...what could I do???
I mean, they are shown in a wrong way for example Broken Ghost
or is this such a silly question?

Looking at Broken Ghost on dafont, I see it has a lot of fine ligatures

...which are likely to be affected by the ligature settings at the bottom of the Character panel

Firefox fonts look different from Chromiums

Hi, my Firefox fonts look different than the ones Chromium uses:
Left is Firefox, right is chrome. As you can see, the placement of characters is somewhat different.
This is NOT the issue mentioned on the Firefox Wiki page, at least it is not fixed with the fontconfig.
What happens here?
Thank you,
Jan Oliver

I have "serif" , "sans serif" and "monospace" in the selections, "serif" being the default.
I applied the fix from here, and it did smoothen the fonts, but the letter placing is still bad as in the screenshot.
