Helvetica bold displays incorrectly - InD CS5

Depending on the size, Helvetica Bold displays incorrectly in sizes 9 pt and 13 pt. For instance, the word "Howard" displays correctly when the regular font is used; when bold, the 'w' in Howard looks like it is one point smaller: Howard
Unfortunately that whole document is in 9 pt font so changing the size isn't an option. What is the cause of this and is there a solution?

Does it still look like that when you zoom in? ...
Your screen has a finite resolution, and details smaller than a single pixel cannot be accurately displayed. If you display very small text on your screen, you are pushing this technology to its limits. In fact, below a certain size, the letter form has to be coaxed and wriggled into shape to be recognizable at all -- this is the "font hinting" you might have heard of. It's necessary because otherwise a small font size would not be readable *at all*.
The downside is, that way you do not see exactly what you get anymore. But that shouldn't be a problem -- you aren't getting what you see anyhow.
In short, it's just some rounding on your screen. If you zoom in, or you print your page on a reasonably high-quality printer, you will see there is nothing wrong with the size.

BUG: Info panel displays incorrect Hue values

Recently, I've been doing a lot of work with color in Fireworks and came across the following bug, which appears to be a longstanding issue within the application. Rather than keeping it to myself, I figured I'd post it here in addition to submitting a bug report with Adobe. So here it is...
Hue values displayed within the Info panel (in HSB mode) do not consistently match the values displayed in the Color Mixer panel—including basic colors such as pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The values are 1 degree off—most often below the Color Mixer value, but sometimes above (as with Magenta). This holds true whether using with the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
For example, the following inconsistencies were observed when sampling the centermost horizontal strip within CS6's default Color Cubes swatches picker. Note that over 50% of these colors are affected by the issue.
The Color Mixer seems to display the correct values, while the Info panel's values appear to be incorrect. Note that this issue affects the HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between both panels.
This bug has been observed in Fireworks CS6, Fireworks CS5.1 and Fireworks 8 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Here's the bug report submitted for this issue:
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 12.0.0.236
Product Language: English
Your operating system: Mac OS 10.6.8 (Intel-based)
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: The Info panel displays incorrect Hue values for many colors—including pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The Hue values are usually 1 degree below the value displayed in the Color Mixer panel (e.g., 59 instead of 60 for Yellow) but sometimes 1 degree above (e.g., 301 instead of 300 for Magenta). This is true whether using the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
Steps to reproduce bug:
In an open Fireworks document, open the Info, Color Mixer, and Swatches panels. Within the Color Mixer and Info panels, set the color mode to HSB.
Draw a Rectangle and set its fill to Yellow (#FFFF00) using the Color Picker.
Observe the Hue values displayed in the Color Mixer and Info panels.
Select the Eyedropper (I) tool, and sample the rectangle's fill color. Again, observe the Hue values displayed in both the Color Mixer and Info panels.
Results: In both steps 3 and 4, the Hue value for pure Yellow (#ffff00) appears as 60 degrees in the Color Mixer panel but 59 degrees in the Info panel.
Expected results: The Hue for pure Yellow (#ffff00) should appear as 60 degrees in both panels.
Note that this issue affects the Info panel's HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between panels. Also note that this bug affects over 50% of the "pure" hues within CS6's Color Cubes swatches palette. For more info, see the following forum post:

I haven't done anything other than add my footage to the timeline. I have 2 layers (1 targa seq and 1 png seq). As I move my mouse from the Timeline to the Comp Panel, the color values flash for a split second and go away. If I press Opt+1 (2, 3, and 4) the Info Panel displays the color for that one pixel but the values go blank as soon as I move my mouse. This happens in the Comp Panel mostly. If I open a Footage or Layer Panel, sometimes the values show, sometimes not. Never had this issue in previous versions.

Wonky .jsx Scripts & InD CS5

Are there limitations on number of lines in a javascript? Reason I ask is I have 4 scripts, each containing about 10-15 text conversion lines (abbreviations, spelling changes, capitalization, etc.) that I routinely run on a supplied .txt file after formatting with a smart style. Often, some of each do not work; other times, after applying 3 or 4 or 5 of them, my character styling starts going wonky... lightface characters turning to boldface and vice-versa. The total number of lines in the text block is approximately 550 spread over 6 pages, 2 columns.
See attached dump. Character will randomly change size, change from regular to bold, etc. (The way it's shown is correct.)
Is this a bug in InDesign or a memory problem or what? Any solution?
Running InD CS5 7.0.4 on Lion 10.7.2 on Mac Pro (early 2008), 16G ram
thanks.

Are there limitations on number of lines in a javascript?
Not appreciably. Many people regularly run scripts that are thousands of lines long or more without difficulty.
As described it sounds like a bug, in InDesign or in your script. I would add checking to your script to detect the failure condition and try to figure out why it goes wrong, and whittle it down to the smallest reproducible case. (Also, the scripting forum is probably more help than here...)

Iphone 5s incoming call number displays incorrectly.

Whenever I call my wife's Iphone from work, the number displays incorrectly on her caller ID. It is always dropping the third number of the area code, so if my work number was 123-456-7890, then when I call her it shows up on her phone as 124-567-890, it doesn't even show a ten digit number. So far I have noticed that it only happens when I call her from the landlines at my work. I also have the exact same iphone 5s on the same carrier and the numbers display perfectly fine on my phone so I feel like it's some setting in the phone. Before switching to an iphone we had her contacts imported from an old Verizon flip phone, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone seen or heard of a similar issue?
Thanks,
Dan

By the way I have completely reset all content and settings several times, tried turning off international assist, tried several suggestions I found online dealing with the sim pin, switched to a different phone to have the same thing happen on that phone also. I have the same exact iphone 5s and carrier and service plan and the numbers appear perfectly on my phone. I'm so confused why this is happening.

EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

Deluge and KDE - displaying incorrectly for one user only

My deluge (and possibly other gtk apps) are being displayed incorrectly in KDE. You can see the screenshot attached, but the thing I mostly notice is the progress bar. On my laptop, as well as any other user account on the PC in question, it's a very blue progress bar (so 100% torrents will be all blue, 0% no blue, and obviously in between as % increases). In the past I've messed with various gtk/kde rendering apps (so that gtk apps will display "correctly" in KDE), but I don't currently have any installed. I also have rm'ed the configs in question per the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … plications ). I have tried removing the deluge config for my current user and it still doesn't "fix" the issue. I've gone through kde system settings to setting all display options to default-type options (which is what my laptop is set to).
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on where I could look to fix this? It's mostly an annoyance, but I've been trying to fix it for a while now so thought I'd finally ask for some help.
EDIT: I realize this should be in the Desktop/Apps sections, so if a mod could move it for me, that would be much appreciated.

1. You said the projects were all saved "to a shared folder." Do you mean THE Shared folder? Your Mac's Users folder should list two Users, plus a folder named "Shared". Is that the folder you mean?
2. The trouble is that an iMovie project isn't actually a file. It's a special kind of folder called a package, which contains other files and folders. (To look inside the package, Control-Click on the package icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu.)
3. When YOU are the user and you create a new iMovie project, the package and everything it contains is configured with you as the owner. You are the designated owner of all the items that comprise the project. No one else can Write to the project.
4. To change that, you have to change the project package into a normal Finder folder, adjust its permissions and the permissions of all the contents of that folder, then change it back into an iMovie package.
Here's how:
In the Finder, choose Finder > Preferences. Click Advanced and turn ON "Show all file extensions".
The name of your iMovie project "My Sample Project" is now displayed as "My Sample Project.iMovieProject" in the Finder.
Remove ".iMovieProject" from the project name, removing the period. When the Finder asks, say OK.
The project package has now turned into a folder. Select the folder and choose Get Info.
Set Others permissions to "Read & Write". Then click "Apply to enclosed items". When the Finder asks, say OK.
Select the folder name again and add the extension ".iMovieProject" to the name. The folder will change back to an iMovie package.
The package will now allow anyone to Read and Write to the project.
Karl
PS: This solution isn't very handy, obviously, but it does the job. A better solution is to buy an external hard drive, and configure it to Ignore permissions. (In the Get Info window for the disk.) That lets both users save projects to the drive without permission issues.

Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

Also,
I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air

Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Date on Windows 8.1 is correct. Thank you.

Try doing a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

Some character display incorrect after unicode conversion

Dear Experts,
Currently we upgrade our SAP system from 4.6B NU to ECC6.0 UN.
in 4.6B system we had implemented Simple Chinese and French language package to the system. after upgrade to ECC6.0 no-unicode system. we perform a MDMP unicode conversion.currently system running with ECC6.0 unicode interface with language 1EFD. SUMG releated tasks had been finished. Chinese and French language checked OK in ECC6 UN system.
Our issue is. in the past time. some Spanish local end user typing some spanish character in some master date field when they login in 4.6B GUI choice english as login language.these kind of spanish characters could not display correct in current unicode environment.
could you please given us some suggestion for how to fix this issue.
I also sent this message in the Netweaver administrator forums with below links.
Spanish display incorrect after unicode conversion

Hello,
I doubt that the data shown by you in the link was caused by Spanish users logged on in EN.
I think this was rather caused by utf-8 data uploaded into the Non-Unicode system.
In this case, you need to repair the according texts manually, I do not know any automatic repair.

The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Treenr3,
Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).
iTunes 9: Font text is incoherent or appears in a different language
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3042
It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.

Mail displaying incorrect messages

I have an odd problem that has suddenly appeared within the last couple days. I use mail with my .mac email address and have so for many years now. As of the other day when I receive a new email some of them will display incorrectly: ie the message might be Joe Public News Alert or whatever, but when I click on that to view the email it shows an email from a June of last year, different sender, different subject line etc. When I go onto my iPhone or onto MobileMe it displays the same list of received emails, but when I click on the emails in question to view them, the correct messages are shown. I tried quitting mail, restarting my computer, doing updates and everything else like that, but the problem persists, and it persists consistently, as in no matter what I do, when I click on the News Alert, instead of seeing the correct email I will consistently see the same incorrect email.
Any thoughts?

Try recreating your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and let it import your existing messages; when it's done your problem should disappear.

Why PDF's with transparency display incorrectly?

Hi everybody
I used this script ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.html ) to create a magazine based on pdfs but I have a big problem.
The imported pdfs with trasparent elements display incorrectly but only in the vertical position as you can see in the images, in the horizontal and menu, display correctly.
I don't have control of the pdfs because the publisher send it already ready.
I used the v.22 for this pubblication because I can't update the app now but I installed the latest DPS tools.
Thanks in advance for help.

I know this is an old thread but i'd like to answer because it'll be helpful for someone looking for answers like I was today ;-)
This is an expected behavior for a PDF article. PDF Articles only supports transparency effects such as opacity and multiply, blending modes are not supported. However the same content if uploaded as a PNG/JPEG article should work fine.
It's also documented in this best practices document here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays

Photos Display Incorrectly after iPhoto 9.1.2 Update

Since the latest iPhoto Update (9.1.2) Photos have been displaying incorrectly on AppleTV in Events View. Instead of being organized in events like in iPhoto, the events are displayed with 2 photos in each, creating multiple events for each actual event. For instance, if a specific event in iPhoto has 1,500 photos, then on AppleTV, this event is displayed 750 separate times with 2 photos in each "event". That makes it impossible to fins anything specific, and is embarrassing when you are showing people your cool AppleTV.
I have restored the AppleTV, rebuilt the Thumbnails and Caches in iPhoto, adjusted my Firewall, yet nothing has fixed the issue. Everything else displays correctly, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Pod Casts, just not the Photos.
Anyone else experiencing this, or find a fix?

I found this other thread discussing this topic, no fix, I will revert to 9.1.1 from Time Machine and wait for a new update.
