I'd like to get your opinion: POLL: What font do you use?

People,
I am curious to know what font you guys use for text in your various corporate projects? I'v used Helvetica for years, as it is corporate and clean, but I am looking for others.
POLL: What font do you use - let's say for corporate brochure/annual reports texts?

Jack,
You may also have a look at some of the font talks in the Typography forum, or start a thread there; among the latest was this one: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.ef602ce.59b709a5
Obviously, the wrapping should fit the contents.
When all is said, I still prefer the fairest font.

  • What font do you use in your terminal emulator?

    I was using terminus, but I found it too thin for my tastes (or maybe for my bad eyes...) so I sought around and I read many persons like the Microsoft's Consolas and I have to say that it is indeed very nice. Probably MS should stop doing OSes and start drawings fonts only...
    And so I wondered, what do you use? IMO a terminal font should be, readable, monospaced (doh) and a little thick.
    Of course if you do not use the terminal this post is not for you.

    I never saw this particular font, but I second that, fonts is the only thing MS do well imo

  • Poll:  How many users on your apps and what hardware are you using?

    I am curious about the collective experience and performance of others APEX applications and how much "horsepower" your hardware has.
    I have a need to support 20-30 users and am using a Windows XP machine with 1.99 Gig of RAM and a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 CPU.
    Any thoughts on this?

    For my personal use, I'm renting a Celeron 2.4ghz with 1Gig RAM running CentOS, Oracle XE and Apex 3.2 at a data center 1200 miles away. Seems to work fine. I find the biggest issue is network bandwidth. I originally had a 10Mb link to the datacenter's backbone, now have a 100Mbit. The difference was night and day.
    For work (speaking only of our Apex servers), we've got:
    One Dell 2way P4 with 4G RAM and 10,000 RPM drives.
    It runs 2 10G instances and several Apex apps and it also runs Enterprise Manager Grid Control for 40+ databases. No issues.
    Multiple prod/dev/test servers.
    All are VIRTUAL running on VMWare ESX3.5. Each database VM has 2 gig of RAM and 2 "CPUs" running 11g/Apex3.2 on Oracle Linux. They all work fine.
    I find that a poorly written app can crush just about any hardware you can throw at it. Luckily we don't have any of those ;).
    I suspect that your hardware would be fine, particularly if running Linux. I cannot speak to Oracle/Apex on XP. I suspect you might be disappointed, mostly because it is tuned for interactive use rather than background applications (services). Not trying to be a Windows vs Linux troll here, just saying that if you are running a workstation with Oracle/Apex and you on it and expect to support 20-30 other people, you are all likely to be disappointed. Apex/Oracle should be on dedicated server hardware with a server OS.
    You also aren't giving us much info on your hardware; 7200RPM IDE/SATA drives aren't going to be as fast as 15KRPM SCSI or SAS, etc.
    It wouldn't surprise me if your well written application was able to support 20-30 users with the hardware you are describing (though I won't vouch for the OS).
    Google for "apex.oracle.com" and "poweredge 1950" that will take you to this link:
    http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-says-application-express-cant-scale.html
    The whole thing apparently serves up 6 million page hits a week with a 1.5Gig SGA. That's a lot of work on a pretty small box.

    Can you get your television to act as a monitor using Apple TV?

    I presume you mean you want to view your computer screen on your TV by going through the Apple TV. Right now you can't do that but the next version of Mac OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, will allow Mac computers to mirror their computer screen on a TV connected to Apple TV.

  • If something small got stuck in your disk drive what steps do you take to remove it?

    if something small got stuck in your disk drive what steps do you take to remove it?

    Depending on the model of Mac I would first try to tilt the unit to see if you can get whatever you got stuck in there nearer the edge. Do not shake the Mac to move the object - you could cause damage to internal components.
    The next best thing is to use a very fine pair of tweezers or pliers and try to remove the object. Sometimes a credit card or firm business card may also help you move the object nearer to the lip of the optical drive.
    Be warned though - you are not supposed to stick anything into the optical drive yourself to try and remove something as you could cause further damage. Your best bet is to take it into an Apple Store and have them remove it. Just as another warning though - this would count as accidental damage and so is not covered under your Applecare if you have it. You'll have to pay out of pocket to get the object removed.
    Regards,

  • "CoreServicesUIAgent.app" would like to access your calendar. What do I do with THAT?

    This morning I see a pop-up that says, "CoreServicesUIAgent.app" would like to access your calendar" with choices of "Don't Allow" or "OK." I have no idea how to choose since I don't know what that is and where it came from. Now I feel forced to leave it on my screen until I find out, since I can't find the solution in any forum discussions search here. If it's really from Apple, then they should probably at LEAST give us a hint as to the meaning and validity of this obscure thing in their  software. Not intuitive at all.

    Thanks, I'd done that before coming to Apple and didn't receive any additional information about whether it's safe to choose "Don't Allow" or "OK". I don't know what I'm in for if I choose either one. Can't afford to lose that calendar. I depend on it too much.

  • I want to get your opinion for Games on Macbook Pro

    I want to install a game on my Macbook Pro, but I want to know if work correctly? Is there any chance the problem?

    Look at the games specifications, then go under your Apple logo in the top left corner, you will see there the software version (under "About this Mac") as long as the version is above the required version and the game is designed for Apple products then it should work.

  • Can you get your money back if the app you purchased doesn't work properly?

    Hi,
    I recently bought the MobileNoter SE app in order to sync my OneNotes between Playbook, Windows Phone and Laptops.
    Once the Playbook was added to the previously fully functioning sync system things started to go wrong, so much so that I've had to re-create a lot of my notebooks.
    There are a whole host of flaws and bugs with the app - some people say this is just an Android App which is ported which might account for the bugs if it wasn't fully tested after.
    I posted a review which has been taken down - presumably by MobileNoter - without explanation.
    I mailed support and they initially sounded like they wanted to help but have since gone silent. I have asked for my money back but more silence.
    I wouldn't mind but this app is £20 for which you would expect a fully functional app. This is far from it.
    Anyone know what the procedure is now to get a refund. Is there some way Blackberry can help?
    Many thanks

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • In your opinion, does "Replace binary" gives you faster queues?

    For those that have their apps rejected and resubmitted a new binary, are your wait times the same? Is it somewhat faster than the first wait period?
    I've heard that you are completely requeued. I'm boggled to hear that, why wouldn't apple finish all the open cases first before moving on to new ones? The more apps pushed out eariler, the better the revenue. Assuming that rejected apps already have portions of it reviewed already.

    Wow.
    6 to to 8 weeks.
    Yikes.
    Well just to share our experiences...
    We've got I think over a dozen apps up - typically it takes a week for approval per app for us... sometimes a bit less.
    I'm sure they are sequential because we've submitted 3 apps in a row and they would all get accepted within a few hours of each other a week later.
    A few rejections did take place (violated the UI standards) and it took another week once the fixed version was submitted.
    Over all, it's a drag to have to wait that week but it's a necessary evil, so like the previous poster I'm ok with the process... It would be great if it was sped up - but the process itself should remain.

  • Is it possible to get your money back from Itunes if you were hacked and they purchased items?

    My itunes account that I primarily use on my phone was hacked. A movie and a ringtone that I did not purchase showed up on a reciept that was emailed to me. I have changed the password to both my email and my itunes account. But I want to know if there was a way to prove I was hacked and can get my money back.

    They show on your account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ?
    If they do then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page and see what they say : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
