How to force a font to be a graphic?

Is it possible to make a default web font into a graphic?
I have found that if i have some type set in Helvetica Book and a text hyperlink in Helvetica Book they look different once published.
The plain type is slightly 'heavier' than the hyperlink and so looks like I am using two different weights.
I find the normal text looks bad compared to a graphic of the same font this isnt really a big deal and untrained people probably wouldnt notice but I am a designer and typographer and so notice the slightest change in type.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ive found a work around myself (within 2 seconds of posting the above).
Set the text to have a shadow in the text inspector but set the opacity to zero and the text gets converted to a graphic.
Mint!

  • How NOT to Embed Fonts in a Signature?

    I've seen the various threads relating to problems with fonts in Mail and unexpected results when received by someone with different settings or on a different operating system. This is exacerbated by the fact that our office standard signatures have some bold and smaller size text (for a disclaimer). Thus, messages will show up for some people with a different font in the body of the message than in the signature, unless their default vieweing font just happens to be the same as the font in the sig. For example, if my signature is set as Arial, and my "message font" set in Mail's preferences is also Arial, my message will look fine. However, if I send it to someone who sets their "message font" to Times, then the body of my message will show up as Times whereas the signature will still be Arial. This is true if the receiver is another Apple Mail user or a Windows Outlook user. Either way, the results look sloppy, to say the least.
    All the discussions revolve around how to force your font choice to show up on the other end. I explored that as a possibility, but I find the workaround (setting your "message font" as something different than what you want to send, and manually changing the font of EACH AND EVERY MESSAGE YOU WANT TO SEND before sending it) completely unacceptable, especially in a professional office environment. I looked into doing something with the signature, so that you essentially start typing your message in the body of the signature itself, thus inheriting its properties, but this doesn't work reliably since Mail puts its cursor before the sig, and certain text like "in a message dated...so-and-so said" will still default to no font.
    So if forcing a particular font to be embedded isn't the answer, how about making sure no font is embedded? Sounds like a plan, right? Well, that seems to be just as difficult because of the signature. I can't check the "always match my default font" box, because then it strips out the bold text and makes the disclaimer the same size. On the other hand, it seems to always embed whatever font is assigned to the sig, rather than just size and bold properties. The machines in our office that still run Panther (which is most of them, unfortunately), do actually send their signatures with no font embedded, but still have size changes and bold. I can't seem to find a way to do this in Tiger or Leopard. I understand the reason is that Panther sends actual RTF, but Tiger and Leopard send HTML. I tried some of the tricks to edit the signatures manually with an HTML editor and re-saving a web archive out of Safari, but I've had trouble getting this to work properly. Even so, this again isn't a viable solution for the whole office once we upgrade to Leopard, which will be happening in the next few months.
    So is there ANY way to make the signature and message body default to the same font, without having to resort to plain text messages?

    Did you come up with a solution to this problem?!

  • How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

    We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute.  We are pulling the data using XML from DB.  When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated.  We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jeff,
    Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
    If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
    HTML page example:
    <HEAD>
        < META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
        < META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
    </HEAD>
    JSP example:
    <%
      // Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
      // We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
      response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
      response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
      response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server 
    %>
    Regards,
    Matt

  • How do I change font and colors back to default?

    I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

    Hi Brenda19605,
    You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
    The default settings for the font are in this article:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
    Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
    Let me know if you need anymore help!

  • How to force a new password in portal with LDAP user? external users

    With an external portal (used by agents that do not work for you or reside in your office), company policy is for password to be changed every qtr.
    If the users are creating as LDAP users how to force them to change their password when required?
    Is this a custom application that needs to be written so when they log into the portal if the qtr has expired the portal ask them to enter a new password that becomes valid for the next qtr.

    But again if we change the password of that user through Portal we are able to see change password screen.
    can you help on this how we can force the user to change password when we are changing password in LDAP or in SAP System.

  • How to force the "Bluetooth Communicat​ions Port" to be one of COM1 to COM8 ports?

    Dear Lenovo Community, Happy Holidays to you all and wish you a great happy new year. Recently purchased a Bluetooth OBDII device and have difficulty making it to work with its provided software on my T61 (running original XP Home). My short story and question/problem is that I can open "My Bluetooth Places" and pair with the OBDII device as an "OBDII SPP Dev", but my T61 assigns serial port COM19 to it. The OBDII software which came with the device only can let user set to one of the COM1 to COM8 ports and in the properties of Bluetooth pairing, there is no way that I can select which COM port to use. I looked at the Device Manager and I do see these COM port assignments: COM4,5,6,7: Sierra Wireless (the HSDA modem in the laptop which I have never used BTW) COM 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17: Bluetooth Serial Port COM 18, 19: Bluetooth Communications Port and I don't see anything for COM1,2,3, and 8 My question is how to force the computer/OS to assign one of the COM1 to COM8 ports to my device upon pairing? Can I disable the Sierra Wireless model from the COM ports list and hope this will happen? Thanks for your help and inputs beforehand. Regards, AL

    Hi, AL_K
    Have you attempted to change the port number in device manager itself? If you navigate to Device Manager and open the list of Ports, you can right-click on the device you wish to assign a different port number. After right-clicking, click Properties. There should be a tab called Port Settings. In here, you should find a setting to manually assign a port number.
    Good luck, and let me know how it goes,
    Adam

  • How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

    Hello,
    I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
    The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
    My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
    Any help is appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    This is how you do it
    Font
    DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
    where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
    Font Mapping Set
    DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
    WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'

  • How to load original fonts in a packaged ID file I was sent

    How to a load fonts into a packaged document another designer sent me; I don't want to use them in my document, but I'd like them in hers. This InDesign CC14. In other words, I have her fonts in her package, but don't know how to get them showing in her document correctly without using them in mine.

    Sorry for the delay in answering. The fonts named as missing are:
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 107 Extra Black Cond Oblique
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 27 Ultra Light Condensed
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 35 Thin
    Helvetica Neue  (T1) 45 Light

    I do not see these in the Fonts Folder, or much else I recognize as a font. I didn’t look before because I just assumed when packaged every font would be collected, but maybe they are just not there.

  • How to change the font size and style on run time

    dear all
    i try to change the font style and font size on runtime. I did the following:
    1- i created an item(:font_size) in which i will write the size of the font for the the other item ('customer_name')
    2 on the post_change trigger for 'font_size' i write this code
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('customer_name',FONT_size,(:font_size);
    i write 12 then then font size changed , then i write 18 , the size does not change. and when i write any value , no change happens. I do not know why
    the second problem is how to change the font style
    i made three checkbooks (bold,italic,underline)
    on the trugger when_checkbox_checked i write
         IF :BOLD = 'B' THEN
         SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('N_SAMPLE',FONT_STYLE,'BOLD');
         ELSE
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('N_SAMPLE',FONT_STYLE,'REGULAR');
         END IF;     
    no change happend at all.
    please help

    Hi friend,
    it's a really really strange tip... May be it's a Forms bug? I've tried with set_item_property..and.. you're right, it doesn't work..
    So.. you can try making this:
    - create a visual attribute with an specific font size....
    - use the
    SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('block.item',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'you_visual_attribute');
    and call it from psot-change....
    It works
    Hope it helps,
    Jose.

  • How to tell what fonts are missing in a Photosohp CS5 document?

    Hello!  I have received some work from a graphic designer.  I need to modify some of the text in the document.  When I open the document I get an error message:
    Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output.  Do you want to update these layers now?  [Update] [No]
    If I click [Update] it replaces the font with Myriad Pro.  If I click [No] the text looks the way the designer intended, but I have the exclamation mark-triangle symbol over the layer with the text.  If I try to edit the text I get another warning:
    Editing or rendering the text layer "Text Layer" will cause its layout to change.  Continue?  [Cancel]  [OK]
    The same behavior described above occurs.  If I click [Cancel] I obviously can't edit the text.  If I click [OK] it changes the font to Myriad Pro.
    I would like to determine what font the layer is using.  I could swear that previous versions of Photoshop would tell me what fonts were missing when I opened a document.  I can't use the text tool to select the text without it changing the font.  Other posts have mentioned using the text tool to look at the text drop-down to find a greyed-out font which indicates the missing font.  I do not have that.  I only have perhaps 200 fonts installed.  Can anyone tell me how to determine what fonts a .PSD document is using?  I would prefer not to bug the graphic designer if possible.  Thanks much!
    ~ Dan

    Not sure why you are getting ""Font is present on the system but requires a layout change.", usually you do not get that instead the name of the font shows.
    We use extensis Universal Type Client, so the fonts load automatically upon opening files, and never really get missing fonts in Photoshop.
    Actually fontbook has auto font loading if you want to give that a try. Fontbook >> Preferences

  • How to Change the Font Type for Printing Pocket Address Book?

    I am new to the Mac and was entering in my contact info into the Address Book in hope of creating a Pocket Address Book (PAB). When I attempt to print out the PAB the default font is courier. When I click on "set" and access other font types, sizes, etc., I can't seem to find a way to apply or save the font type that I choose. In short, it stays as courier. I found an archived thread in a forum that suggests to validate the font I want - which I did and it was already validated - and otherwise I cannot seem to change it from courier. Any help on how to get the font I select to be applied instead of courier would be GREATLY appreciated!

    You can also change it using the UIManager:
    UIManager.put("OptionPane.foreground", Color.red);
    UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.red);
