Help! Titles wildly distorted after font change!

I generated titles in LiveType, imported to FCP sequence, ouput on DVD with DVDSP. The font I used was Geneva. Unfortunately, I left it at 100% white, which wasn't smart. Result was that they flickered slightly.
So, I went back to LiveType and re-did them. I did two changes: I changed the font to Impact, and I made it to 85.5% white. Impact is thicker, so there are no "thin" parts which can flicker, but Impact also makes the title more "compact" occupying less space than Geneva... so I made the titles slightly bigger (f.ex. certain titles I change from 30 in Geneva to 40 in Impact.
Anyhow, I changed nothing else other than font and size and whiteness level. Well, here's the problem: when I watch the burned DVD, the titles now are really distorted! It is as if I were seeing them reflected in a fishbowl - the end words toward the left and right edge of the screen are squished and leaning inward. Here's the thing: I did not go outside of the "margin" in LiveType and furthermore, the titles are NOT distorted at all in Geneva (nor are the titles distorted on the computer monitor, only on TV). What gives? How to correct this? They don't flicker any more, but are now funhouse mirror distorted.

How did you insert these titles into your FCP
project? Are they exported .mov's, LT project files,
etc...?
I generated .mov files from the .ipr in LT, then went into FCP and imported .mov files from LT, and put the .mov files on the timeline.
I used exactly the same workflow to generate the UNDISTORTED titles - only difference this time was changing the font to Impact and 85.5% white (from 100%). Again, the workflow was the same - .ipr -> .mov -> FCP and the result was fine with Geneva 100% white, but distorted with Impact 85.5% white.
If you used the LT file then maybe there is some sort
of corruption either in the project file itself or
with the preferences of either program.
How do the titl;es look when viewed in fcp?
Titles look fine in FCP - with both the old Geneva 100% white and the new Impact 85.5% white. Problem is how the Impact fonts look on DVD on TV. On DVD on a computer LCD screen they look fine. The Geneva look fine on DVD on TV. The Impact look fine on computer LCD screen but distorted in the TV.
How do they look if you export your FCP project as a
QT movie?
There are many places where this could be fubar'ed so
the first we have to figure where the problem is
happening.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 - Text distortion after font changes

Hi guys...
I was playing around with the fonts on my Torch last night. After a few font changes, my text became distorted and pixelized. It looks awful!!
I heard this is a problem with OS6??
Will a theme change possibly help?
Please help!!

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

Label misplacement after font change

Below label misplacement bug was mentioned earlier (here).
Bug description:
There is a label misplacement bug when you change font (type / size) or change your default font, which can also happen during conversion to a different LV version on a different pc (with different environment settings). This bug misplaces the labels horizontally, especially when the label is positioned halfway horizontally or even halfway vertically on any side of a property node or control / icon.
It could be reasoned that proper placement of text after its font is changed can be very hard to get right in any programming environment. At least one of the combinations: label stuck to the right side of an item (property node, etc.), placed half-way vertically should be easy to position properly though. (horizontally at least) Since this is where I (intuitively) put many of my labels for property nodes I would like to have this fixed. This bug has been present in LV for at least several years.
Solved!

Hello Ettepet,
Sorry for the delay.
I didn't fully follow the procedure of steps you were explaining before and therefor I couldn't reproduce it.
I see similar behavior (but to a lesser extinct than 2 full chars) when I play around with the font size of the default font.
During the next week I'll search through the existing CARs and file a new one if it doesn't exist yes.
If it does exist, then I'll provide you with the CAR number and add you as a person experiencing similar issues.
PS: Sorry for the delay, I was teaching 2 courses during this week.
Next week i'll be back on normal support shift.

Make sure the two things available:
1. Embed fonts option enabled.
     This option is available in Designer->File->Form Properties->Save Options panel
     Important: This will work only for PDF files (not for XDP)
2. Adobe Reader Extended Languages support font pack installed on the target machine the Hindi font is not installed.

Why does Final Cut Pro change my title's baseline after the first two titles when exporting a master file?

Hey Guys,
I want to use a Zoom title (Titles -> Build In/Out -> Zoom). I only want the title, not a subtitle. So I insert Zoom's everywhere, type in my stuff for Line 1, delete the contents of Line 2, format it (font, tracking, etc.). Everything looks great in the Viewer. I let it render, then export a Master – same as source. I open the MOV, the first two titles are great. Then every title thereafter looks like someone changed the position by 100 pixels south of its original location.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot it:
Removed all Zoom's, inserted new ones, removed the contents of Line 2 and left Line 1 alone (i.e. it still reads "Title"). When I export, everything's fine. The moment I change formatting or put in new copy in Line 1, same thing happens – every title changes position by 100 pixels down.
Downloaded Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, trashed pref's/
I'm using a TTF with a bold type body only. Figured I'd leave it at Gill Sans Bold. Same thing happens as soon as I type something custom into Line 1.
I had a text style saved and removed it. (Which wasn't easy. Solution here.)
Has this ever happened to you?
Thanks!

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the follow-up. Here are some more details:
OS - 10.8.2
FCP X - 10.0.7
I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project. Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
Here's my title style:
Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
Notice how it's pushed down?
Then I decided to make a 720p project. No more title problems.
So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go. Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
Thanks!

Font change after Leopard OSX installation???

I recently installed Leopard OSX and after I went online for the 1st time after installation, I noticed that on many sites (yahoo, yahoo mail, bing, youtube, etc.) the default(?) font changed from what I believe was Arial, to what looks like (believe it or not) a Brady Bunch style font for certain sections displayed on the page.
I went to the Font Book and Arial is there and isn't disabled, so I'm not sure how to get rid of the new default, and get the original one back. Any clues???
Thanks! ben

Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Title fonts change when published

I have been making a site based on the white template. It has a picture in the header. When I alter the page title (e.g. change colour) the font changes to small hardly readable text wjwhen published, even though it looks fine in iWeb (and was fine prior to changing the font colour).
Can anyone help? Is it because of having the jpeg in the header part? There is no overlap of images and the page title.
Thanks

Try dragging the photo out of the header, deleting the text and redoing it in the color of your choice and then putting the photo back.
Save and do a "publish all" and make sure you empty your browser cache before viewing the changes in Safari.
This covers three trouble shooting steps at once and may save you time in the long run.

That has not worked. I do it and still it reverts. Isn't there a way to tell Firefox to just go back to default settings?

Can anyone help me with an iWeb problem? I cannot save the site after making changes. I receive this error: "website.sites2 could not be saved"

You could try duplicating the Domain.sites2 file and launch this in iWeb. Delete the last page you edited and try saving. If that doesn't work, undo and try deleting another and so on...
If you can find the problem page you would only have to rebuild it rather than the whole site.
The other possibility is to create a new site on the same domain file and drag each page in turn down to it from the top site and try to save each time.

After Effects Changes my Clips FPS from 29.97 to 25? Help :)

Hey guys,

frustration. Please help.
Kind regards,

After Effects hasn't changed anything. You just need to tell After Effects how to interpret the footage:

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Paul

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

When placing file, font changes throughout file

I am working on a project and everything was fine a couple of days ago but last night when I tried to place a file, the font changes on all the other pages.I do have paragraph styles set up and even referenced a different file to make sure it's still set up right. I did have to make some changes but the biggest thing now is as soon as I click on the page where I want my file to be placed, the font changes throughout.
Please, help!

I tried clearing the formatting in Word before bringing the file over. I still had the same problem. Why would it work okay earlier this week and get funky on me now?
What is the better way?
There is local formatting done. Where do I adjust the default for placing a file because I'm not telling it to use that paragraph style, it does it automatically.
I realize I need to start fresh. I'm using styles that were established years ago by someone else. I'm not sure how to build from scratch. Can you send me in the right direction for good tutorials?
For now, I need to finish this issue because it's late. After that, I'll get a new format prepared.

Font changes automatically in Lotus Notes & Excel Find/Replace pops up

I am using Win XP SP3 and FF 14.0.1
I recently (last couple of weeks) noticed that, when FF 14.0.1 is running, the font size, color, bold and bullet will change automatically in Lotus Notes. Sometimes the font changes from normal horizontal to all vertical. And these changes can reverse while I watch or continue trying to type.
Also, in Excel 2007, the Find & Replace box will automatically pop up and keep popping up after I close it.
My IT support suspected Malware on my laptop and loaded & ran Malwarebytes on my laptop and it found two items which I removed. But the problem was still there. Next we reinstalled Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5.1 --- still did not solve the problem.
I began my FF troubleshooting by disabling add-ons one-by-one in the reverse order of addition (newest added was disabled first) until I got to the point before which I previously did not have this problem. But this did not find an offending add-on. (I still have these add-ons disabled.)
Next, I went brute force and restarted FF with '''ALL''' add-ons disabled (using the Help option to do so). This did '''NOT''' fix the problem.
Then I happened to find out that the problem went away -- completely -- if FF was NOT running. I have checked / verified this several times --- somehow FF 14.0.1 certainly appears to be the cause. As I recall I only experienced these issues AFTER I updated to FF 14.0.1
I hope a solution can be found -- otherwise I will no longer be able to use FF at work.

Would be great if files could be attached when questions are being created. I exceeded the max allowed characters when I tried to paste my FF troubleshooting info. So, I had to delete many lines. I saved the info in a file, but no way to attach it before the question is posted.
