Freehand MXa text pixelated problem

In Freehand Mxa text that's alng a path or rotated get's scrambled (pixelated) on the Mac.
I've tried Freehand Mxa on the PC windows XP and there it's not???
What's causing text to scramble on the mac?
Are there any solutions to it?
Daniel Hoogendoorn
PS
Freehand Mxa-Snow leopard act's the same

It's a known issue. See this technote:

My workaround is to put a hairline stroke on the letters while adjusting kerning, baseline shift, etc. The stroke forces redraw of the letters.

  • Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

    Hello,
    I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    #Content p { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
    </style>
    <![endif]--> 
    (assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
    My question is: can I replace this by
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    #Content * { zoom: 1; } /* three pixel text jog IE bug */
    </style>
    <![endif]--> 
    For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
       border: 0;
       margin: 0;
       padding: 0;
    (although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
    Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
    Any comment welcome...
    Emilie
    P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

    The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
    correct?

  • Satellite 5100 - Question about dead pixels. Is it really dead pixel problem?

    Hi,
    I've got Satellite 5100-603. There have been some dead pixels on display. I don't know is it really dead pixel problem or not because the black area seems to be behind the screen. When i move left and right sides, the black area moves left and right sides too (as if the black area is behind the screen pixels)! And i can tell that all pixels are working OK when i look from the right and left sides of the display (because the pixels that seems to be dead, changes at different looking angles).
    Are there really dead pixels or is it some other problem?
    Is there anything that i can do about it?
    For info, i am using my laptop for 2,5 years and there is no warranty of course...
    Thanks for any help..

    Hi
    to answer your question I will try to make a simple description the layout of the TFT display.
    I'll go from the front to the back.
    In the front is a tough plexi-glass like layer to protect the screen from harm and the user from glass in case the TFT should break. It is also prepared in a way that will soften the reflections from behind (that does not go for the newer SuperBright screens).
    Behind that is the 2 layers (at least 1 of glass, probably both) that hold the actual matrix of the pixels.
    Behind theese 2 are a very complex set of layers that take care of the backlight. It consists of various numbers of films that should spread the light from the singel FL-tube evenly across the complete screen. Not a easy task if you ask me!
    Sometimes, physical stress or dirt can make 'blotches' appear on the screen and they are in fact either dirt on the backmost layer or marks on the same. If there is dirt or marks on it, that will 'shadow' the light that comes out from it and show dark spots on the screen. They are quite different from defective pixels.
    The defective pixels do not change with the angle of view for example.
    I think you cannot do anything about this except changing screen. The construction is very complex and sensetive.

  • Text box problem or question

    I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can  then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
    All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
    I'm stumped can anyone help.
    I'm attaching the file.
    Thanks!

    If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it.  Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

  • We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.  If it's already unlocked skip to step 2.  This works and will work even if you update the phone. 
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point.  If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can.  I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

  • Font / text edit problem in photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    I have a strange text edit problem in Photoshop CS6 running on Mavericks.
    Every time I use the text-tool in PS, write a sentence, mark it and change something like color, font size etc., the marked text vanishes.
    I have to "undo" the last step and the changed text appears again.
    Every time!
    I have a clean installed CS6 with no plugins and no other than system fonts installed.
    Everything on a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5
    Any clues? Thanks.

    Do you have the latest updates for photoshop cs6?
    You can use Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to check if there are any available.
    Also, if you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6, you can see the Photoshop Version in the top line.
    You should be on version 13.0.6
    See if turning off Dictation solves the issue.
    Go to System Preferences ---> Dictation and Speech -----> select OFF radio button .

  • CS2 Pixel Problems when editing

    Hi, I am an amatuer Photoshop user.  I have recently had problems with editing pics either resizing or adjusting levels,  saving then trying to post to a website.  The pictures show up awfully pixeled.  I downloaded the same pics without editing and they look fine.  I have also had pics printed and I dont have the pixel problem.  I assume something is wrong with my PS CS2 software.  Is there a update to fix this problem or do I need to delete and reload my PS CS2 software program?

    Further information on this problem:  It seems to be linked to the condition of the data fields in the Revise HyperTrend window.
    Within this window is a box containing data lines corresponding to the items to be graphed.  The headings are:   Expression    Line Color    Min/Max/Pos/Height.
    There is room in this box for 19 lines of data.  If more than 19 Items are entered, a scroll bar appears to the right.
    It appears that attempting to adjust the widths of any of these fields (to view more of the data in a field, for example) triggers this problem.  It may also be triggered if the width of the data displayed is covered by the scroll bar.
    Can anyone figure out why this is happening and what to do about it?

  • Menu bar weird square square pixels problem

    Hi I have this very weird problem and wonder if it is a software or hardware issue (i couldn't find anyone who have the same issue).
    After using my iMac for a while this weird pixel problem on the menu bar appears.
    The problem (it is small but you can see the magenta areas).
    This is the enlargement of the problem.
    When I change applications/click on the menu bar, it disappears but reappears after a while. This problem started just recently and I'm wondering if any of the Apple updates might have affected it.
    Does anyone know what's happening? Do I need to bring it for repair?
    Thanks.

    They look like Atari Space Invaders "Quick shoot them down"
    Sorry I couldn't help it!
    Try switching to and from Translucent Menu Bar in the Desktop Preference, Disk Utility / Repair Permissions and Restarting your iMac.

  • Pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

    pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

    Problem is:
    Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
    Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
    There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
    WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
    I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
    You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

  • Apple 30" inch Cinema Display pixelation problems

    This is following on from a similar thread which is as yet unresolved the thread was called "30" with edge effects, green pixels?"
    My setup is Mac Pro 3GHz Dual Intel (Brand New)
    Graphics Geforce 7300 GT with a brand new 30" apple cinema display.
    The problems is that pixelation occurs at random times and is only solved by changing the screen resolution down and then back up to its native setting. Is there a away to solve this problem. Someone on the thread mention above thought that it might be a syncing problem between the monitor and the card but the thread was never resolved and it is dated October. By the way I have check whether its plugged into the correct port and it is so any suggestions or bug fixes would be helpful thanks.

    I've had my 30" display for 1 year running on an "old" G5 with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card (along with an "older" 20" Apple Cinema Display, the one with the plastic bezel). No problems with the 30".
    A few weeks ago I got a Mac Pro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT card. That's when I got the green pixelation problem. I thought it must be the card (since the monitor works just fine on lesser cards...), so I took the entire Mac Pro and X1900 to the Apple Store and hooked it up to one of their 30" monitors: no pixelation problems after over an hour of test running it with Aperture, Safari, etc. ****. I began to think that Apple has made some sort of change in the more recent 30" monitors to avoid the problem; either that, or my monitor is old and tired after only 1 year.
    My 30" still runs fine when I put it back on the old 9600 card; it does ok (with only Minor intermittant pixelation lines) on the original (lesser?)card that came as base equipment on my Mac Pro; and it has the MOST pixelation problems with the BEST card (the X1900). Perhaps these 30" monitors can't handle all the data being sent by the more powerful cards? Is that possible?

  • Pixel problem? Lines on the screen

    hello my iMac is 3 1/2 years old. about 6 months ago I started to get lines on the screen, last week one of the lines turned into an 1 1/2 inch white line. From what I'm reading it's a pixel problem. My question is should I have this problem repaired, or is it not worth doing. thank you.

    Are the newer versions less apt to have this problem. and is there a history of this problem with iMacs thanks.
    Tough questions, the problem is that iMacs are sort of All-In-Ones, using basically Laptop components with a Desktop Monitor & Hard Drive, if one thing goes you can't just replace say the Video Card like on a PowerMac or MacPro, because most everything is built into the Logic Board.
    I strongly suggest that anyone getting an iMac or Laptop go for the extended AppleCare.
    As for the new iMacs, they look really sweet, but I myself would not buy one with an nVidia Graphic Card, I'd have to order the more expensive ATI Graphic Card.

  • IPod stuck pixel problems

    Bought a new video iPod at my local Apple store, got home and notcied it had several stuck pixels (white glowing dots- mostly noticable against a black background and in a darker environment). Took it back to the Apple store, the genius tried to give me a line about how the screen "takes a while to burn in". What?? once he realized I was not an idiot, he agreed to exchange it sans the restocking fee.... You guessed it, the replacement has the same problem I am sick and tired of this issue with LCD screens. It is unacceptable for retailers to sell defective screens and claim that they are "normal". There is no clear definitive standard for this pixel problem, and I have had it. Went through 3 PSPs as well and returned them all before finally giving up. I am taking this iPod back, and telling them it is unacceptable. They can open as many as it takes to get me a defect-free screen, or they can refund my money and I'll look elsewhere. It is unbelievable that a company can sell a product meant for viewing video on a 2.5 inch screen and can claim thta glowing white dots are "normal pixel anomalies". My 42 inch plasma doesn't have a single dead or stuck pixel, and I expect the same on all my electronics with an LCD or pixel based screen.

    Have you tried the Pixel Fixer for iPhone?
    I know if you do a Google Search for it there will be an App for the iPhone that will test and attempt to fix stuck pixels.
    Otherwise you may wish to follow the basic article below for iPod Touch Hardware, and then make an appointment at local Apple retail for assistance or contact iPod Touch Support.

    its like 4 or 5 cm ( sorry for eu measurement systems : ) )When i restarted the ipad, on opening screen ( black with white apple logo) line is not there, but on main menu and on apps, it is there.
