How do I specify a user font name in Linux?

I'm moving a vi from Windows to Linux. One element of the vi is a user defined font. In Windows the name "Helvetica" is being used. How do I specify a valid font name in Linux?

You may have to install the font of your choice on the linux machine. Once it is installed, you can specify the font for a control, indicator, etc. by using the 'text settings' option in the tool bar.
Using VI Server, you might be able to do a mass change of the fonts for labels and captions. The following webpage contains an example that changes the value of controls -- you could modify this example to modify the fonts:

I did not thoroughly test this so this option might not be 100% snag free....

How to Identify the Type of Font Names in Illustrator

How to identify the type of font names like "True Type font" (or) "open Type font" for illustrator file using Scripts or any language. Could you please advice me.

If there is an Illustrator SDKor Illustrator Scripting forum, try
that. ATM won't really help - it is obsolete and should not be
installed (breaks things).

How do you specify a minimum font size for incoming mail?

Is there a way to specify a minimum font size for incoming mail messages? Mail I get from others is almost unreadable and I always have to manually (apple +) increase the size.
As a test, a friend on a PC (most mail I get comes from Windows) kept increasing the size he sent me, but when I received it there was no change in size on my end.
I can't find anything in Mail's menus and preferences to change this behavior.
Mail 2.07; OS 10.4.6.
Thanks,
Cathy

if i had the problem then i'd make a backup copy of
my ~/library/preferences/com.appple.mail.plist file,
open the original in property list editor, look for
any likely elements that have small or negative font
sizes and set them to, say, 12, save the changes and
see if that helped
Found the file; couldn't open it (tried Text Edit?) to make any changes.
You can use the following trick to force Mail to
always use a larger minimum font size on received
messages - some HTML messages might not look exactly
as intended but at least you can now read them:
1. Quit Mail
2. Open the Terminal
(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in the
following:
defaults write com.apple.mail
MinimumHTMLFontSize 13
3. Restart Mail.app and your HTML messages are
readable.
Of course you can set the point size to whatever you
like.
Found file; was not comfortable inputing text as this simple task did not behave properly.
PC friend said other Mac user reported this same anomally with receiving small text from him. I have over a dozen different PC users that I correspond with where I have this problem. It seems to be on the Mac end.

How do I change the User/library name on snow leopard?

My dad gave me his macbook and it's got his name on the user on the side panel and I want my name there instead. I know how to change the login name etc. but I can't figure out how to get past step 9 of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 (enabling root user) I can't choose enable root user from the edit menu as it doesn't show.
I'm new to macbooks so it would be great if someone could explain it so that I'd understand
Thank you.

I've solved it not too worry.

Solaris: How do I specify the user under which the WLS runs?

I just upgraded from WLS 5 to 8. OS is Solaris 8.
Configuration is one single admin server which also acts as the only managed server.
The admin server must start up as root so that the users don't have to specify the port :443 at the URL (don't ask me why, but it seems to be the fact on Solaris).
After starting, I want the server java process to actually run as another user than root. How to I do this?
It worked on the old Solaris server with WLS 5.1, and I have an idea that it had something to do with the command line option -Dweblogic.system.user=. That option has no effect when trying it with WLS 8.1.
This must be a common task when running WLS on Solaris. But I cannot figure it out, and a thousand users are waiting for the application to start up. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Regards,
Anders.

If you logged in as userx and started server, the weblogic server process will be started as userx.
If you want usery to start server, then you need to give permissions accordingly, though you have installed the weblogic as root.
-Dweblogic.system.user=, option works only when this user has rwx permissions to various files under weblogic dir (log files, applications, .....).

How can I change TestStand users registered name / Company?

Help!
I have just installed TestStand 3.5 in my own name. The PC is going to be delivered to a customer in a different country and I would like to change the registered name (which appears on the TestStand start splash screen).
Is there any way of doing this without having to reinstall TestStand?
Thanks
Alan Knowler

This information is set in the registry at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\TestStand\3.5\User Info".
If you registered the software at the time of installation, you will need to contact National Instruments to have the database information changed on our end.

How to specify pairs of variabel names and values in OdiInvoke

Hi,
If you start the scenario from a web service, you are invoking the service OdiInvoke. When you look at the WSDL for this Web Service, you will notice that beyond the scenario name, version and the execution context, you can specify pairs of variable names and values. The WSDL for the web service as following:
<xsd:complexType name="SessionRequestType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" default="true" type="xsd:boolean" name="Synchronous"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="1" type="xsd:long" name="SessionId"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" default="true" type="xsd:boolean" name="KeepVariables"/>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" type="VariableType" name="Variables" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="VariableType">
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="Name"/>
<xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="Value"/>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>..........
If i call this OdiInvoke web service from BPEL, From BPEL assign activity, how can i specify pairs of variable names and values? Example: i have variable 1 and value1, variable 2 and value2, how to assign them to pairs if variable names and values. so that after the assignment, the payload for assign activity in BPEL can be become as following:
<Variables>
<Name>variable1</Name>
<Value>value1</Value>
<Name>variable2</Name>
<Value>value2</Value>
</Variables>
Thanks!
Susan

Try this way,
In the expression builder copy the xml fragment to the target node. This will result in the below assign action in the bpel code
<assign name="Assign1">
<copy>
<from expression="<Variables><Name>variable1</Name><Value>value1</Value><Name>variable2</Name><Value>value2</Value></Variables>"/>
<to variable="outputVaribable"/>
</copy>
</assign>

User/group names & domain

Hi,
I tried to put a security on a button but when i click on "Add" it gave the following message: "can't get the user/group names for the currently selected domain"
How could iIcreate a domain ?
and how could I create an user/group name ?
Thx,
Samer,

Hi Guys I'll try to answer all your questions
i only want to know, where you press "add" and what you try to do.
When i right click on the control and go to "Security" then click on "Add" i have the message above
What is your application. Where do you want to create a domain?Can you elaborate?
I try to have several accesses to a VI: student, professor, administrator...So i thought of creating domains for security access of each control
Are using LabVIEW DSC?
Yes i am using DSC module...
I think you start with something like Tools >>> DSC >>> Security
What is the difference between Tools >>> DSC >>> Securitys and Tools>>>Decurity ?
Samer,

Editing User Account Names

How do I edit a user account name, e.g. from "John Smith1" to simply "John Smith"? Can the short name be likewised edited? Does having a "John Smith" in the Deleted Users Folder affect this?
Mike

1) Changing the account name can be done from the System Preferences > Accounts prefpane.
2) Changing the shortname is not a trivial task and is generally discouraged, but there are utilities such as ChangeShortName that will do it.
3) No.

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

How can I change font name on Mac to be compatible with PC?

Hi,
My font names on my new Macbook does not match with PC and my previous Macbook. For example, "CordiaUPC" on PC and my old Macbook is called "UPC-Cordia" on my new Macbook. So all my saved documents where font was set as "CordiaUPC" is now unreadable, and I have to reset the font to "UPC-Cordia" when I open it. The issue is, I am a writer and I have to submit my writing to people who use PC's. Then when they open my document, it appears like it cannot be read. It is super inconvenient.
Does anyone know how I can change the name of the fonts in the Font Book? I tried selecting like when I rename the files but it didn't work.
Thanks.

Are you using the same font file on Your Mac as the PC users are? Meaning, that the font file was copied/installed from a PC to your Mac's /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts folder or did you install the Mac version of the font on your Mac. You can try flushing the font cache for your Mac with a utility like Cocktail or Onyx to see if that resolves the naming problem.
