How do i make system fonts look better?

i am attempting to use univers, which is a system font and so exports as an image. i am using it at a larger size. when i preview in browser, it looks choppy. is there a way to make these system fonts less so, closer to the regular look of web safe fonts? thank you.

The short answer is set an opaque background fill on the text frame (it can be a solid color, gradient or background image).
When the browser or OS is drawing live text, it has the benefit of knowing the exact color of every pixel that will be behind the edges of the text and it uses this knowledge to adjust the colors of the edges of the text to smooth the appearance—a process called anti-aliasing.
When Muse is creating an image for a System Font in a text frame with a no fill (or a semi-transparent fill), Muse can't know with certainty exactly what colors will be behind the text. Therefore Muse uses a "grayscale" version of anti-aliasing. Grayscale anti-aliasing provides a better appearance than the hard stair steps of no anti-aliasing, but the end result is inferior to the color anti-aliasing that's possible when the background pixel colors are known and opaque.

    I confess I am fairly new to Illustrator... but if you can point me in the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated.
    All I need to do is to create a GIF that looks as good as a SWF.  I have played with all the settings and I can't figure out how to do this!
    This is how bad it looks when I exported to GIF
    This is what I see in AI. Letters are much better defined.

  • How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

    I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

    Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

  • Need advice on how to make my website look better!

    ive made a website for a security company but im just not 100% happy with it, i dont know if it doesnt look professional enough or things need changing design wise. i am open to any ideas on how to make my website look better, i also dont mind if anyone wants to dramtically change it if their idea is better. I would just very much appreciate a review and constructive critisism and ideas for a newly designed version of the site please!

    Thanks!

    As a novice, some things I see: The footer has redundant, unecessary images (4 large images-for your services--REDUNDANT) odd? The text part of footer: text seems close, scrunched, have some space between heading and items, DO NOT CENTER TEXT!,
    One of the service links bought to page with SAME LARGE image on homepage-change picture, don't use same large image for 2 different pages.
    DO NOT use CONTACT US as 1 of 5 links on menubar. Do in another creative way, and/or use footer for contact. I think this looks amateurish (my opinion of course).
    If I remember, the homepage and the rest of site, have exact same page structure.--See if you can atleast change the structure of inner pages versus the homepage.
    Didn't look at enough, but..maybe...
    each of your services should be a main menu link on your menubar. I would not put contact us on menubar, and you also had another menubar link with no dropdown( of course ok, but maybe could restructure)--Also your last service (on right of menubar)---why is that one different, and not included with the other services??
    Seems like your menubar (items) structure could be reworked.--I would suggest, briefly looking at, to maybe have each service as a primary menu heading/title..YOU MAY NOT NEED A DROPDOWN MENU? Make sure if dropdown it is necessary.
    Local security should be one of your services.
    Have your footer logo, as is to left, but maybe put your footer links more to the right;;It will 'balance' the footer section
    Your top logo seems too close to your main LARGE image (Which btw, seems oddly large compared to the rest of your site?)--That LARGE top image(the same palce on every same looking page), seems too big for your page--Why doen't it line up with the rest off your page content?

  • How do I make multiple movies look like one?

    I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
    small flash animation. The final published flash file is
    approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
    CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
    very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
    movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
    is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
    (to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
    without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
    multiple movies look like one?
    Thank you.

    Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
    next movie?

  • How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

  • How do you make multi cameras look the same?

    So I have three cameras used in the shoot. Lighting is from regular track lighting most commonly found in ware shouse type venues. Cameras 1 & 2 are one foot off the ground pointing ever so slightly up. Camera 3 is shooting from 15 feet off the ground pointing down. How do I make them all look the same in post production? When I try to increase the brightness in camera 3 it looks washed out. When I try to dim the brightness in 1 & two it looks dark and shadowy.

    Ideally you start with this:
    • 3 identical camcorders.
    • Manually set the white balance in each camcorder onsite before doing a shoot.
    • Make sure the 'program' setting is the same in each camcorder, e.g. they should all be "Auto" or "Spotlight" or "Portrait" etc. - the one you prefer.
    • If possible, manually set the exposure in each camera
    What probably happened is your camcorders' auto exposure did its job and the cams pointing upward were underexposed because the sensor was affected by the overhead lights.
    If your clips' brightness & contrast are reasonably close, start by applying the Color Corrector filter to each clip. Use the Visual control (you will see the button when you apply the filter) and then use the Eye Dropper tool to set the white & black points in each clip. If the cameras weren't too mismatched this may be enough to correct the brightness mismatch. I doubt you will get a perfect match but hopefully close enough that it's acceptable.

  • How do I make a photo look good in a BW newspaper

    I nned to submit an ad to a newspaper it has a photo in it How do I make it look great?

    In PS, change the mode to grayscale.  I typically use the Auto Tone to create better black & white contrast, followed by using levels, for manual adjustments.  Ink spreads more on newsprint than regular paper, so I change the dot gain to 30% (see color settings).  You don't need high resolution for newsprint ... 150 ppi will suffice for b&w.

  • How do I make a font in a Macbook Pro

    I want to make a font from scratch. I have read that there are two different ways to make a font. One is to scan it in and use and editor and save as a font, which is a very vague answer. What software do you use? The other was mention via a windows sight using an editor within the operating system. Any suggestions on how to do this?
    For reference, I am not interested in uploading to a sight that would take my template and convert it. I want to know how I can do this myself on the mac.
    Thank You.

    Problem with fonts in Muse on a PC?
    May 16, 2012 4:08 AM
    I have created a site in Muse and everything is fine when the file is opened on my mac where it was created. My customer has brought a muse subscription as they wanted to maintain it in house, but they are on a PC. Muse was installed on the PC fine.
    I have now given them the Muse file and it opens up ok in the PC Muse version apart from copy in Myriad Pro Bold (I assume as it's not a standard system font, it uses a substitute). The body copy displays ok as it's just Myriad Pro and that seems to be a system font.
    So, they have purchased Myriad Pro Bold font and installed the font to their fonts library on the PC (WINDOWS 7), but Muse will still not recognise it when the Muse file opens and it also doesn't appear in the systems fonts list in Muse? Does anyone know how to import a font into Muse on a PC so that they can view the site without it using a substitute font for Myriad Pro Bold?

    Does the new font appear in any other program on their computer? The font should appear as "Myriad Pro". Then they would need to select the bold option on Muse's toolbar. Beware that Myriad will be rendered as an image, not live text. This will hurt the web site in search results. Consider using either a Typekit font or one of the 'web safe' fonts for maximum visibility of your client's site. There's no point in making a great site if nobody can find it.

    Yes, it appears in Word, which is why we couldn't figure out why it wouldn't at least appear in the system fonts section in muse? This bold version of the font is mainly used for navigation to control the look, so we chose that to use as a graphic, so I understand your point regarding searches, maybe the body copy can be altered to a more web friendly font, but this displays fine and appears in the menu as Myriad Pro, but it doesn't help us with the navigation display that we'd like to keep in bold and control the look of. Even with the font loaded in the library it dosen't appear as a sub weight of Myriad bold, so do you think we done something wrong to get Muse to recognise it is there, sorry I still don't understand why Muse hasnt added it to the system fonts library?

    As the font appears correctly in Word, this topic becomes less of a 'general question about using Muse' and more of a bug report. http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/adobe_muse_bugs

    Ok thanks, as I really need to address this issue for my customer, as I recommended that they buy a subscription to Muse to edit their website content in-house and one of the main selling features of Muse for them is that you can use any font and embed it into the website and it obviously isn't quite working on Muse for PC and for which they are now paying monthly. So can I report it somewhere asap, is there an area where you do this or do you log it as a bug now?
