Get font-name on windows/dialogs

Greetings to All.
I require some info on how to get the font-name of all the dialogs, JFrame etc opened from running my swings project. It can be printed out to some kind of log.
font.properties lists the typical fonts but I am not sure if they are reset in other classes inbetween or in the toolKit. [using jdk1.4.2]
Thanks for any info.
Regards,
Chandra

You can see all those fonts using ShowUIDefaults program (below), just run UI defaults using 1.4.2_xx and 1.5.0_xx and you will see any differences in the fonts.

  • UI font name in Windows? I disabled mine.

    I need to know the name of the UI font for Photoshop CS2. Upon startup I keep receiving the "UI font not found" error. I have over 1000 ttf and ps fonts and occasionally disable some of them; to keep that piece of Windows XP stuff working corectly. Must have disabled the font. Don't really want to enable all the fonts. The system would crash.

    Thanks R_Kelly for your reply. I found the ADMUI3.fon in my G:\ttl folder; which is where I keep all my non postscript fonts.
    Now, all I have to do is to remember how to get ATMfn4 to reactivate that font - it doesn't show it as available - and I'll be ok. Or may be I'll just move it into K:\ps9; which is where psCS2 is installed, or may be into C:\windows\fonts. I've forgotten how to install fonts on Win XP. May be they just need to be moved, but then again this is a .fon file and I'm only really used to .pfb's or .ttf's or .otf's.
    Would you care to comment on the previous paragraph?

    I believe the ui font for cs2 is ADMUI3.fon. If you look in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Required is that font in the folder.

  • Getting font name for Type 1 subsetted font

    Hi,
    The attached PDF contains some subsetted  Type1 fonts.
    When I use the   function PDEFontGetAttrs and  get the PDEFontAttrs::name, I am getting the font name as   "GPCDOB+NewBaskerville-Roman".
    What function should I use to get the original font name and not the subset name ?  In the above example, I need to get  “NewBaskerville-Roman".
    I use the following piece of code to get font name:
    PDEFontAttrs fontAttrRec;
    PDEFontGetAttrs (font, &fontAttrRec, sizeof(PDEFontAttrs));
    strcpy_s(fontName,100,ASAtomGetString(fontAttrRec.name));
    fontName I get is    "GPCDOB+NewBaskerville-Roman".
    (I am using Adobe PDFLibrary)
    Thanks,

  • Show uninstalled .pfm font names in Windows 7?

    I have a bunch of old fonts that I've kept each time I upgraded to a new computer or OS (WIndows 95 to XP and now Windows 7). In the past, I've always been able to easily pick out which fonts I wanted to install uning Adobe Type Manager. Well, ATM doesn't work in Win 7. I can install fonts just fine BUT trying to figure out which particular file to install is the problem. I can see the files names like pvw3__.pfm, but I don't know which font that is. I can discover the font name if I double click on the .pfm file,  but clicking on each one indivivually to try and find the one I want is painfully slow. Is there some utility or setting that will show uninstalled font names?

    bump: Please someone help with this solution. I have found that ttf can have "Title" enabled in details view (right click on the columns and check the "Title" and this will work to show the names. But this does not work for pfm/pfb files. Pleae someone help.

  • Is it possible to get font names of the used vector graphics?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to get the font names of the used vector graphics?

    Hello Learner,
    or you could try to read out the fonts from XMP metadata.
    1. Load XMP Library
    2. Read out XMP metadata from file
    e.g.
          var _numberOfFonts = _xmpData.countArrayItems(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,"xmpTPg:Fonts");
          if(_numberOfFonts) {
            for(i=1;i<=_numberOfFonts;i++) {
                _path = XMPUtils.composeArrayItemPath(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,"xmpTPg:Fonts",i);
                _fontFamily = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontFamily");
                _fontface = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontFace");
                _fontType = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontType");

  • Using JSDK 1.4, How can I get disk names in Windows system?

    Using JDK1.3,I can got disk names via:
    FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getRoots();
    Or, aFile.listRoots();
    Now, I will switch to JSDK1.4, the aformentioned methods only returns me "D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\desktop", no disk name returned.
    So, How can I get them back?
    Note: To keep compatible with JSDK1.3, I do not want to use new APIs since 1.4.
    Thank you in advance.

    I get mine at NetBeans:

  • Adobe Illustrator windows/dialogs

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to check whether Illustrator has a window (i.e. Save as) or dialog open that does not require UI scripting?
    I need my script to pause if the user is doing something other than using AI normally, but all the users have the 'enable access for assistive devices' pref turned off, so the script can't 'see' the open windows.
    It seems AI can still perform background tasks whilst a save as or tool (ie rotate options) window is present, it just looks untidy and confusing to have another dialog box appear over the top.
    Is there some other attempt to perform a task that would have a different result if a dialog was present?
    I'm doing it in Applescript, but how about Javascript? Is there a method for getting the names of windows?
    Very grateful for any ideas.
    Ian

    Thanks for the replys.
    Illustrator appears to crash randomly, have been checking with the deisgner, if they are doing any actions to cause the crash.
    The user is logged in as an Administrator, and the PC is not connected to AD. Could you explain why you think it would be permissions?

  • How to get the actual font name from a font file?

    Hi
    I have only the font Path I have to get the font name from that path. Any idea how to get the actual font name?
    Thanks,

    I would ask you these questions:
    Why do you need to do this?  What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?
    Are you really asking about the InDesign SDK?
    Do you really need to get the "name" of a font from an arbitrary file?  Or do you want information about a font installed on the system?  If so, what OS?
    Do you need to be able to handle any font format?
    Which font "name" do you mean?
    What language do you want the name in?
    (1) It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish.  A bit more information about your ultimate goal would be helpful.
    (2) This question is not at all specific to the InDesign SDK.  Are you really trying to do something in the context of an InDesign plug-in?  If so, you probably want to look at IID_IFONTFAMILY and the IFontFamily::GetFamilyName function.
    (3) If you are asking more generally, Windows and Mac both have system API calls to get this information, although those tend to deal with installed system fonts, not with arbitrary font files per se.
    Also, you can parse the name table from a True Type or Open Type font without using any system APIs; as True Type and Open Type are well-documented standards.  I would start by reading these:
    The Naming Table
    Font Names Table
    (4) Although there are other standards, such as Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, and True Type Collection files and other formats, especially on Mac.
    (5) Also, when you start down this road, you will quickly realize that your seemingly simple question is actually ambiguous, and that the answer is kind of complicated, because a font can have many names (a family name, a full font name, a style name, a PostScript name, etc.).
    (6) And not only does a font have multiple names, it can have each of those names in multiple languages and encodings.
    Any clarification would make this a better question.

  • FontAwesome appears as question marks in FrameMaker 12. I installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder. Do I need to do something else to get it to work in FM?

    I need to update our fonts/templates to Font Awesome. I downloaded and installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder.
    The font appears as question marks (????) in place of the text in FrameMaker 12.
    The font appears correctly in other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook.
    I tried this with both FontAwesome.otf and fontawesome-webfont.ttf.
    Do I need to do something else to get this font to work in FM?
    Thanks-
    Stephanie

    Well, if it's any consolation, it does the ????? thing (complete with bad font metrics for the question marks) in FM9, too.
    I'm tempted to blame the font, but it could also be that FM is confused by things that shouldn't be where they are. You'll notice that some of the glyphs aren't given descriptive names in Character Palette.
    For example, code points U+0000 through U+001F. Those are supposed to be the C0 Controls in Unicode, and not displayable glyphs.
    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf
    Ditto for U+0080 through U+009F, which are the C1 Controls:
    http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
    The glyphs at these code points should either be in standard Unicode positions (where the glyph is covered by Unicode, such as that left pointing triangle at U+0011, which might have been the same thing as defined by Unicode at U+25C0 or 23F4) or in some Private Use area.
    Ask for your money back .

    When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...
    Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
    No change.
    I dee nothing but a blank page,
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How to get file name and set it as static text in a dialog

    Hi,
    I m new to InDesign Programming.
    I have a menu that creates a dialog with different controls in it.
    The dialog will appear only if there is an open file. I need to display the name of the open file as a static text in the dialog. I know to get the name of the current file but don't know how to pass this each time the dialog is opened.
    Can someone help me in doing this?
    I m using InDesign CS3 in MAC OS.
    Thank You.

    those are the methods, but you can't use getCharacterEncoding(), actually, cuz it seems it's not necessarily filled in.. or at least that might be on some servers only, like Tomcat 4. As for encodings, you need to do a search for character encoding names and use the appropriate one.
