Having an issue with font aliasing.

I seem to be having a weird issue that I've never experienced before. My fonts appear to be aliased, both in Photoshop and Illustrator, even after applying anti-aliasing.
Below is a screenshot of Helvetica Neue Ultralight at 9pt and 72pt, and Arial at 60 pt, all with anti-aliasing set to smooth. When I set anti-aliasing to other settings, it doesn't get any better. Turning it off makes it worse. The project is 300dpi (or ppi as photoshop says, wouldn't that technically make it 150dpi?)
http://www.nikostoscani.com/images/textaliasing.png
I am doing a business card design and read that it's actually to keep text aliased for print. Is this true? Should I not worry about it? It seems odd to me, because I've never experienced this before. It's the same way on both my Mac and PC, in both Illustrator and Photoshop.
Any and all help would be much appreciated!
EDIT: Even custom shapes appear to be aliased along some edges. I'm not sure what's going on.

It could be your monitor's resolution setting. Have you tried printing the fonts and shapes? If so, are they pixelated in the print? FYI, 300ppi does not mean 150dpi. PPi is an image resolution, DPi is a print resolution. Both are different but are often confused where consumers typically say dpi when they mean ppi ( not knowing the true differences between the two ).

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?

I am having font issues with font book. It validates the font, yet it is not availabe in my software programs (Adobe or Microsoft). What can I do to use these fonts?
I actually created these fonts with fontagrapher in 1998 and have been using them regularly ever since and now they are not available in InDesign. I really need to use them.

I found a page on Adobe, Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
On PostScript type 1 fonts you need to copy/move the fonts to the correct font folder because Font Book doesn't copy them into the folder. Select the fonts double-click the fonts and Find in the font Book app and validate.
The correct font folder depends how you are set up. I am by myself so my font folder was MyHarddrive/Library/Fonts. I was using Suitcas fusion and the fonts are located in a different folder.
Most of the fonts have worked. Go to

This should help. Good Luck.

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file. Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document. NOT GOOD!!! Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign. WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??

Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:
http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
Hopefully this helps you.

Issues with fonts

I am having an issue with a font not showing up in Photoshop. It comes up fine in Microsoft Word and other programs, but not in Photoshop. The font is called Bubbleboddy and it is a TrueType Font File.
I am running Photoshop CS5 64-bit on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
Thanks for any help.

Is the font a Freebie or a proper font.
How many do you have on the system?
Have you scrolled all the way down the list?
Do a search for and delete all instances of adobefnt*.lst (that extension is .LST).

Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T. I do not download anything huge at all.
I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night. I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this. I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts. Can anyone help me please...
Thanks

Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers. Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes. Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. Whining will get nothing accomplished.

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Links should not create any problems in Keynote. If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1
delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2
empty the trash: Finder > Empty Trash
3
Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
4
Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
5
when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
6
when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
7
install Keynote from the Mac App Store
let us know if this helped

Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
my idea is as following:
when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
so…..
now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
All the best,
Niki Lapan

Thank you so much for helping,
But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

HT1925 I am having an issue with loading Itunes. I receive a missing dll file notice. Then another error message. I have reinstalled Windows & still get the error. I did not get the error until I recently did an ITunes update.

I am having an issue with ITunes after a recent ITunes update. I can not open ITunes, I get a message missing MSVCR80.dll file, Then an error 7 message. I have redone the OS for Windows 7 and restarted the computer. I keep getting the errors.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems?

Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 I'm having compatibility issues with my speakers / docking station and my iTunes wifi sync isn't working. Anyone else having the same problems? Both worked fine until the update...

Okay. I got it working again by setting it up as a new phone instead of just syncing. Then I backed up. All is good today.

Having an issue with passing the text of a link to a session variable.

I am having an issue with passing the text from a link to a session variable. I am adding this html as a literal for each item in the list that i have populated with a query.
List<Literal> lit = new List<Literal>();
for (int i = 0; i < posts.Count; i+=4)
Literal someLit = new Literal();
someLit.Text=
@"<div class='row'>" +
"<div class='col-md-12'>" +
"<div class='panel'>" +
" <div class='panel-body'>" +
" " +
" <div class='row'> " +
" <br>" +
"<div class='col-md-2 col-sm-3 text-center' id='javascript'> <h3>" +
" <a href='#' runat='server' onserverclick='UserProfile_Click'>" + posts[i + 3] + " </a>" +
"</h3>" +
" </div>" +
" <div class='col-md-10 col-sm-9'>" +
"<h3><a href='Thread.aspx' runat='server' onserverclick='MyFuncion_Click'> " + posts[i] + " </a></h3>" +
" <div class='row'>" +
" <div class='col-xs-9'> " +
posts[i + 1] +
" </div>" +
"<div class='col-xs-3'></div>" +
posts[i + 2] +
" </div>" +
"<br><br>" +
" </div>" +
" </div>" +
" " +
" </div>" +
" </div>" +
" </div>" +
" </div>" +
"</div>";
lit.Add(someLit);
for(int i=0; i<lit.Count; i++)
this.Controls.Add(lit[i]);
I use one of the list positions as the text for a link in two different spots. For now, lets only talk about the line:
<a href='#' runat='server' onserverclick='UserProfile_Click'>" + posts[i + 3] + " </a>
Since I am generating these controls at pageLoad, I can't make them <asp:Linkbutton>s. And since they are anchor elements, I don't have access to an onCommand attribute or onservercommand attribute.
All I want to do is access the content from inside the specific link tags that I generate on link click and set it as a session variable. That's what I would like my UserProfile_Click function to do. I cant commandargs it in like i can with a linkbutton's
OnCommnad attribute, however.
My fear is that the onserverclick attribute resolves so something else on pageLoad normally and since I am generating it the way I am similar to the way a <asp:linkButton> resolves to a generated JavaScript.
Any help?

I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.
