IChat font sizes show up too large on other computers

Has anyone else seen an issue with iChat 4's fonts showing up considerably larger on other people's (usually Windows-based) computers? I'm using the default Helvetica 12 and it shows up at least 2px larger on other's screens.
If I make the font closer to 10, it shows up fine on other's screens. Then of course, it seems to small on my end.
Any ideas?

Most likely the differences between a Macs 72pixels per inch and the PC settings default is 96 pixels
No one has complained to me about this.
It may of course be that they are defaulting to a different font because they don't have the one you are sending.

  • Tabs from deactivated device still show up in "Tabs from other computers"

    After deactivating a device, its tabs still show up under "Tabs from other computers". How do I delete the data left over from that device?
    More importantly, if I now choose to sync Preferences, will Preferences from the deactivated device be imported (which I wish to avoid)?

    This is Bug 582662, which we should be implementing some time in the next few months.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582662
    The records themselves should eventually disappear as they expire on the server, or you can forcibly remove them by using Reset Sync (replacing other devices) on the client whose you want to keep. There are less drastic solutions, but they require prodding at the internals of Sync through the Web Console.
    If you turn on Preferences syncing, the prefs on your local device will be merged with prefs that were synced to your sync account. The only way that will include prefs from the deactivated device is if you first synced prefs from that device.

  • PSE 6 slide show photos too large for TV screen

    I have been collecting, scanning and saving family photos for over a year to create a slide show for my 81 yr. old Dad. I create a slide show with PSE 6, save to a CD and play on the TV. No matter what pixel size I resize the photos to they are still too large for the TV screen - not just one TV screen but different ones I try. I loose heads at the top, feet at the bottom, people on the sides. I have been researching but have not found the answer to solve my problem. Anyone have the answer or some suggestions I would be very appreciative.  Thanks.

    Well, first of all, choose the right resolution and frame-rate...
    Are you working in NTSC (30 fps), or PAL (25 fps)...?
    Use one of the common DV formats /
    if you choose HD, 1080i, then your TV must be able to recognize that format,
    otherwise images get cut off...
    Format                                           Rectangular Size              Square Size
    DV NTSC................................................720x480.............................. ...720x540
    DV PAL...................................................720x576............................ .....768x576
    HDV 720p..................................................NA................................. ....1280x720
    HDV 1080i.................................................NA................................. ....1920x1080
    Stay with your chosen format through-out your whole project...
    (PNG, TIFF or PSD), import those files into your video editor.
    Depending on the Operational System (Mac or Windows), one has many choices...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
    After editing, import those files into your chosen Authoring software for burning,
    they will take care of the appropriate compression.
    (I would recommend burning to DVD, not CD, one will achieve much better quality...

  • Font size of text too big on a mobile... why ?

    Hello, I use Muse CC 2014.
    I have the following problem:
    When I create a wide text area, and I write a few lines of text, when I look at the result on a mobile device (with Chrome for example, on Samsung Galaxy S4), in landscape mode all goes well, but in portrait mode, the text size becomes BIGGER !
    Therefore not possible to create a correct layout ...
    How to make the text size remains the same in portrait or landscape mode on a mobile device?
    Thank you very much
    Robin Weber

    znico,
    I am also having this same problem and I have a thread on it here [Font size larger than it should be in mobile version]. It also happens on my S4 on Chrome. It has been an ongoing issue on the sites I design where I'll put the text box inside of a colored box for instance and in other devices the text fits inside the box but in Chrome/S4 the text extends beyond the box. I tried viewing it in Firefox for Android and the text seems to render as it should. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way the S4 or Chrome is rendering the text. I have not had the time to check but I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with fonts from TypeKit as opposed to web safe fonts. What font type are you using in your design?

  • How to fix font size that is too small to read on each new page

    At Windows XP suggestion, screen resolution is set at 1280 x 1024 in Display Properties. Large fonts and large icons are selected. "Type" size on every new screen that comes up is so small that I can't read it without +++ to zoom in. Seems especially severe on web sites but email and regular applications (word perfect in particular) are also presenting such small font size that reading is very difficult without zooming in on every new page.
    What setting(s) adjustments am I missing?
    Or should I just disregard 1280 x 1024 suggestion and cut those numbers down?

    hey there steffvl & welcome to Discussions,
    it sounds as though you may have accidentally placed one of your movies into a Drop Zone... is the time shown for your Menu the the same as one of your movies? depending on the theme, some Drop Zones are hard to differentiate from the part of the Menu Page where you can drop/place movies. take a look @ the Map View for any alert warning symbols in the Menu Thumbnail. if you have dropped a movie into a Drop Zone, just place something else in there & then drag your movie to where it should be on the Menu. i hope it's something this simple.
    good luck.

  • Dreamweaver CS6: font size in menus too small on 1920 x 1080 screen. [was: Dreamweaver]

    Hi,
    I am using adobe Dreamweaver cs6 and my Laptop screen size 15.5 (39.4 cms) wide (1920 x 1080). My Dreamweaver software top tab menus like File, Edit, View, Insert, Modify, Format etc. these are menus font size too small in my laptop display so i am facing problem in development. I have try to resolve this issue through change to desktop resolution but after change the resolution of window property i have get only little bit change in font size of tab menus but i am not satisfied with this change if you have any other solution for this problem please reply me or email me on [personal information deleted by moderator]
    Thanks
    Parveen Kumar

    Unfortunately, the only way to change the font size in the Dreamweaver interface is by changing the display settings of your computer. On Windows, you can change the size of text and other items without changing the resolution by selecting Start > Control Panel > Display. I don't think there is an equivalent on a Mac.
    If you find the size of the menu items a problem, I suggest that you submit a feature request through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

  • InputFile doesn't show File too large message

    Hello,
    I've got an inputFile component on my adf page and maximum file size specified in web.xml:
    <af:inputFile id="if1" binding="#{backingBeanScope.UploadBean.inputFile}"
       valueChangeListener="#{backingBeanScope.UploadBean.onUploading}"
       autoSubmit="true" simple="true" label="Upload"/>
    <context-param>
        <description>Should be 250Mb</description>
        <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE</param-name>
        <param-value>262144000</param-value>
      </context-param>When I'm trying to upload a 400Mb file the application gets busy for a couple of seconds and then a red border around inputFile appears.
    But there's no message.
    How could I specify a userfriendly message?
    Like it this post: http://andrejusb.blogspot.ru/2010/12/oracle-ucm-11g-uploading-large-files.html
    Upload works fine, this thread is only about "File too large" message.
    Thanks.
    JDev 11.1.2.3

    You are wrong. The file uploading starts in the background. Your listener only gets the stream once it already on the server (either in memory or as a temporary file).
    If you use Chrome as a browser you should see that the upload starts, but the processing is canceled once the server finds out about the file size. All this is checked before you get control.
    Do a small test and remove the autoSubmit="true" and you'll see the message.

  • ACE 20 Modular - show tech too large

  • I cannot change the font size on firefox. Works on other browsers but not on FF and writing is too small. Ctl+ works but its a nuisance each time

    Have windows 7 but even on Vista the fonts on FF are too small and I cannot change the size.

    You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

  • Mail font size has become too small

    Hi,
    The font size in my mail is too small and changing preference size numbers has no effect.
    Umm. Ever heard of that?
    What should I do?
    Garrett

    Are you talking about the font size for received messages?
    If so, this is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
    Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
    Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
    With such a message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and all text will be converted to your chosen Message Font and size selected at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
    There is also a Terminal command available that automatically converts message text composed in HTML to Plain Text for all received messages.
    Sorry if you are referring to something else.

  • Get Info folder size is incorrect/too large

    I am getting an incorrect report from the Get Info command that one the folders in my 8TB array is topping 15TB! In fact, this folder only contains data (Red movie files) that amount to about 800GB total. This problem, in turn, is preventing me from copying that directory to a backup drive, as it is seen as being too large, which it is not.
    Of course this is impossible, as my array, as mentioned above, is only 8TB. And when I do a Get Info on the array drive icon itself, it reads correctly, listing the Capacity as 8TB, and the Available space at 1.8TB. So, it's just the folders that are being read incorrectly.
    I have not enabled or set up Time Machine, so I do not think that is the issue.
    I am new to Macs and really have no clue how to remedy this situation.
    ANY help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the response, Eric. I've already tried that. Didn't make a difference.
    Since I can't afford to wait for this to be solved, and because I don't know how to solve this issue myself, I've gone ahead and deleted the offending folder, created a new folder with a different name, and re-populated it with output files from Davinci Resolve. In effect, I rendered my project out again from scratch. Unfortunately the same **** thing is happening! I'm creating a populated folder that Get Info reports as being 16 Terabytes, on an 8 Terabyte array!
    (*sigh*)

  • Font size in email too small

    All of a sudden the font size in the email app is small. It's as if each mail has been zoomed out. I upgraded to iOS 4.2 a few days ago, but this just started happening today. It is not dictated by the setting for minimum font size. I have never changed that setting and it's set to medium.
    If I reboot the phone, the font size goes back to normal for awhile, but then gets small again. Any ideas?

    Well, when it is happening it happens to all emails in the email app. The behavior is very strange. Again, it's as if all the emails are zoomed out. The only way to fix it that I can see is to hold the power button down and reboot the phone. When it comes back up it's normal....for awhile. I haven't figured out what triggers the behavior.

  • Why is the font size for hot links smaller than other text on some web pages

    On some web sites, the hotlinked words and some words in colour appear in a smaller font than they were designed to be.
    When the web master changed the colour to black on one title at the website noted below, it appeared in the correct size.

    That site is designed that way: font-size: x-small;
    <pre><nowiki> A:link { font-family: Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif,sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: rgb(0,51,204); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}</nowiki></pre>

  • Why do pages like natwest and ELC not display properly? It is like their text is too large, yet other pages are fine?

    I have abrand new ASUS notebook with a 11 and a half inch screen. I have up to date Windows system, and am using the latest version of firefox. I have gone through all the tips in the help section of firefox including clearing cache and cookies, and also checking all settings for text, however none of this has corrected the problem. For example when i log into my online banking the text is that big it doesnt fit into the boxes set on natwest screen, so therefore i can view all of the text and it gets jumbled together in some places. With ELC a good example is the menu across the top of the page which gives all of the categories of products they sell for you to click on. As the writing is too large it does not display properly. Im not sure what else to do to crrect this. Can anyone help?

    Try 2 things, if they can help:
    1. on the same window, where you have 1 of above site opened. Do ctrl + F5.
    2. Do Ctrl + shift + P, it will open a new private window and browse any of the above site.

  • ICal- Inspector font is 17pt and too large

    In fact the type goes out of view on the right. How do I change it to a reasonable size like 12pt. The type size in the calendar part does change size by command + or -.
    I open font window by Control>Font and see it's Helvetica 17pt and can't change it. I try to change the size to 12pt and it repeats Helvetica 17pt over and over.
    Thank you, j

    Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
    No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
    Perhaps someone else will have an idea.
