Image and font rendering

Hi all:
I have some questions about font and image rendering in
flash. At time, the images Im using on my application are in png
format, I have noticed that my swf is not very big in size(about
140Ks), however, when I load it, the memory used increases
amazingly (nearly 2MB), whats the policy of compressing and
uncompressing of png images?.
Also, some attached images are a bit decreased on width, is
that caused by the image renderer of flash player?
The fonts displayed (when I use font including glyphs) are
displayed a little bit blurry too.
Any advice about the configuration of fonts or imported
images?.
Regards

Assuming you are using s60 and checking memory on the phone,
I believe the standalone will grab memory from the device once it
starts running. So, the 2mb is probably Flash Lite occupying its
maximum allowed memory, and maybe not particular to your SWF. You
can test this by loading another swf of different size and checking
memory.
Make sure that x,y coordinates of images and fonts are on
whole number values , not decimals. Also make sure the text box
size is whole number value. Font blurriness maybe from Flash
anti-aliasing. Have you tried to display your text without
anti-alias. Are you using a mask over device fonts? (flash will
embed a font in this case and not use device font).

Not all fonts can be packaged depending on their licensing. Some fonts are set to not allow packaging. For those you would have to manually locate them on your computer and add them to the folder where the packaging occurred.
For the images have you checked the "copy links" option?

Openoffice and font rendering

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to have openoffice render my fonts the same way as fonts are being rendered in other programs? It obviosly doesn't seem to care about the .fonts.conf file, but instead seems to have it's own rendering technique, which gives me very bad font rendering. I don't know why Openoffice has chosen to do it's own font rendering, but is there anyway to change that?
The only option for font rendering in Openoffice is turning antialiasing on and off from a certain font size, but there's nothing about autohinter or subpixel hinting etc.
Regards,
Simon

It's not any font in particular, it's all fonts that are being rendered differently than in other programs, and this can only be due to the fact that Openoffice for some reason has its own way of rendering fonts. I don't know why and I don't know how to make it render fonts the way other programs do.

PC Suite Image and Font Size

Hi.The control panel for PC Suite is awfully small, and the fonts for the text are even smaller, down to what would be termed in the printer's trade as "granite" size. When I need to Scroll, for example down to my phone carrier to log in, or when I need to read the "Help" manual, I cant see what I need to read because the print is so ridiculously minisucule. Will the Adminstrato4rs of Nokia/PC Suite please enlarge the command windows and fonts to a usefull and viisible size ?? Thanks. Ringmeup2Scotty.

hi mate,
Nokia PC Suite development has stopped and the product is no longer actively supported. suggest migrating/using Nokia Suite instead, of which the latest version is available for download from http://nokia.com/nokiasuite
As for the suggestion, you can leave such suggestions over at Nkoia BetaLabs under the Nokia Suite application page: http://betalabs.nokia.com

Static images and font licensing in embedded device?

If the designer of a GUI for an embedded industrial product uses an Adobe font (like Helvetica Neue) for display of numeric information, can the manufacturer of the GUI include static, bitmapped images of numerals from the font in the embedded software, thereby negating the need for the font file, and thus negating the need for an OEM/embedded license for the product?
To put it another way:
Licensing the font software itself is almost certainly cost prohibitive for this kind of application. Because only a few characters are needed, can licensing costs be avoided by including those characters as bitmapped files (created in Photoshop with a licensed copy of the font) instead of the original font software?
Thank you for any help.

sambapati,
The licencing pertains to the use of the live font, so your using images of letters/numerals can be no breach of the terms.

Font rendering differences between Xfce and KDE

Hi,
I am using both KDE and Xfce (mostly Xfce with KDE apps) and I observed that there is a font rendering difference between Gtk (Xfce) and QT (KDE) apps.
In both desktop environments I use dejavu sans font, size 9 and I have set RGB subpixel rendering and hinting to full.
I created some screenshots of dolphin and thunar to illustrate the differences (right click and select view image to see the screenshots in full resolution)
Can somebody help me to make gtk app fonts to look the same as qt ones? Or at least tell me why there is this difference.
Thank you.

I cant tell you why there is a difference, but this page may help you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
I ended up installing the Ubuntu patched packages in the AUR, but there are different options.

Problem with Safari (and other browser) fonts rendering

The images imported to my stage turn up as blank and render every image previous to the rogue imported image as red squares that fill the perimeters of the image which then renders the publishing and scene testing features in flash useless, what can i do

I have been working on animating a scene in flash for a few weeks and recently I have encountered a problem with importing my images on to the stage where the images I import do not turn up, however the key frame that I attempted to import the image onto shows that it is occupied by an image and every frame previous to the key frame that just imported an image that does not show turns up as a red square that fills the original perimeters of the image, there is no solution to this problem any where on the forum and the adobe technical support staff will not help me find a solution to this problem what can I do to get Flash running normally again and fix this problem?????
Also after the first time i publish a preview after i begin using flash, flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found, or if the images if i import any images onto the stage that come up blank and render every image previous to that image as a red square and then try and publish a preview flash renders the publishing and scene testing features as useless and claims that there is no HTML template found. What can I do to fix this problem??? there is no solution on the web anywhere to this problem either.

I don't know if Flash has a memory limit of its own. The memory for your Flash file is based on the available memory on your computer.
There is a limit on the number of frames that you can have in any given timeline. I think that it's about 15000 frames, but that's a guess. Flash does all of its work at runtime, this means that no part of your animation is pre-compiled like it is in a video file. So the more objects that you have on the stage, the more work Flash has to do. It follows that the more objects that there are to animate, the more work your processor and the video card have to do.
Here's a list of articles on memory management that might be useful:

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

Difference in font rendering of JList and other text components

Hi,
I have a swing application using JTextField,JTextArea and JList.When I use a font
for an Indian Language for these components,the JList shows the data correctly
but the other components shows it with junk characters.Is there a difference in the font rendering behaviour of JList from others?

Use getFont() on each to the comonents to make sure they are using the same font.

Font rendering and legacy X applications

For some time, I have had problems keeping older applications working well as the X font system evolves. For example, I have many drawings created in Xfig, and the fonts stopped being rendered correctly some time ago. Converting all these files for a new drawing package like Inkscape would be a pain. The other main problem occurs with a commercial CAD package (Eagle), which is statically linked to Qt2, and does not play nicely when anti-aliasing is applied to Qt3/KDE apps.
Xfig and others
The problem here is that Xfig would render fonts with the letters too closely spaced, such that the on-screen representation no longer matches the printed or PDF output. I fixed this by forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution, rather than using the resolution determined by the X server from probing the monitor. To do this, put a line in the Monitor section of XF86Config or xorg.conf:
DisplaySize 433 347
The above x and y values were calculated for a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Another fix I have done for Xfig is to patch the sources to pick up the URW font names instead of the Adobe names for the standard Postscript fonts. If anyone is interested, I could make a proper Arch package for this.
Forcing the resolution is admittedly a kludge. I might look into font rendering in an Xlib application, to see if there is some extra code needed to handle the proper resolution correctly.
Gtk-2.0 UI fonts at 75DPI
An unfortunate side effect of forcing 75 x 75 DPI resolution is that the menu and other UI fonts in Gtk apps end up too small. This was noticed on Gvim and Gnumeric. KDE and Qt programmes appear to be unaffected. This can be fixed by creating a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your home directory with the following contents:
gtk-font-name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 12"
Put whatever font and size you like. I have no information on the format of the gtkrc file. The above was adapted from a page found on Google.
Mozilla (which uses Gtk) needs some individual tweaking, as the UI fonts end up far too big. In preferences->fonts, set the resoultion to 72 DPI.
The above measures should only be required if you have forced 75DPI. I had no problems with Gtk apps prior to doing that.
Eagle
The problem with Eagle appears to be related to the fact that it uses Qt2 (statically linked) in a Qt3 environment. This might also occur with other apps, but Eagle is the only one I know about. When antialising is turned on via KDE control center, this modifies .qt/qtrc, and so affects all Qt applications. If I have anti-aliasing turned on, the fonts in Eagle are very ragged and badly spaced.
I fixed this by modifying the font path in XF86Config, to remove the entry /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. The problem appears to be that Eagle is picking up one of the True Type fonts, instead of a Type 1 or bitmapped font. Turning on antialing in Qt appears to alter its font selection behaviour (fontconfig?) as well as font rendering.
An interesting outcome of experimenting with the font path is that removing entries only affects older applications. KDE and other modern apps work perfectly well with only the mandatory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc entry present. As far as I know, this is because modern toolkits like Qt3 and Gtk2 use fontconfig to find fonts.

I now made two screenshots of Mail: The first one while the external display was disconnected, the second one when it was connected (and Mail moved to the external display). I opened both screenshots in Photoshop and there was a clear difference between the font renderings: On the screenshot of the internal display, the fonts are smoothed with black and grey pixels only, while on the screenshot from the external display they are smoothed with colored pixels. This is the reason why the text looks so bad on the external one. Therefore, it is definitely a problem of the font rendering. In Photoshop, the difference of font rendering is clearly visible!
See here:
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5389/fontt.jpg
The first line is internal display, the second line external display. That's unbelievable.
Another thing: I found out that it's not only Mail that has the problem - it is any application that was started after the external display had been connected. It seems that OS X applies the font rendering setting at the moment a application is starts. When I disconnect the display, start Finder, Mail, Safari and so on, and then connect the display, then all the applications look great even on the external display. When I quit the apps and then restart, the font rendering is broken again

Firefox 4.0b1 and b2 rendering incorrect weight of some fonts

Firefox 4.0b1 and b2 rendering incorrect weight of some fonts
The first thing I had noticed when I upgraded from FF 3.6 to 4 beta 1 was that Firefox was incorrectly rendering fonts as bold. After some digging I found out that it was the font-family:"helvetica neue" line in the css file that was causing the ugly bolded font (black weight, actually). After editing the css to "Helvetica 55 Roman", the font displays okay.
Example site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured
The thing happens in the very mozilla addons site.
Also have noticed that the same bug occurs on different fonts, where the font name in css is specified in alternative namings, as in "나눔 고딕" for NanumGothic (korean font).
The bug didn't seem to have fixed in beta 2, nor could I find any other thread/document on the web with the same problem. I doubt it's my own problem, since it worked just fine in older versions and I have the very same font files installed since the start.
Screenshot: http://i25.tinypic.com/zy9co2.jpg
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Open certain websites with css font-family:"helvetica neue" in the stylesheets

I sympathize with you all, and I spotted Kimatg at the Bugzilla forums. My Firefox 3 is all right with Helvetica and Neue Helvetica in PostScript, TrueType and OpenType. However, my Firefox 4 Beta 7 through 9 goes nuts.
Compared to the situations above, all I can say is: at least you are getting your pages in the right font family or even in the right typeface. Attached are some pages in Helvetica that my Betas are showing. They don’t even come close to ''a typeface'', let alone Helvetica.
It’s not just Helvetica. Our in-house Arial substitute, Lucire, is also displaying oddly on some pages unless the font is embedded.
Cor-el, I know you are one of the most helpful folks here, and I thank you for your continued generosity. I have to make one correction to your statement: PostScript on Windows generally does not have a bitmap component, unlike on a Mac where it had suitcases. So all these fonts are vector-based.
It shouldn’t make a difference to Firefox’s rasterizer anyway, but, for some reason, on 4 Beta, it does.
