Incorrect font positioning ttf-mac-fonts

Hi,
I installed the ttf-mac-fonts in my laptop. I noticed that the fonts appear a little above where they should be...
Please find the screenshot for reference.

Other fonts like source sans pro, sans are appearing as it should but I am having problems with LucidaMac font.

You should be asking this to a PC person.

Crap - sorry, I typed too quick, the upstream source if fine. But as that PKGBUILD does some odd things, I missed the problem. The simplest (but far from best) fix is to change the lines in the package function to the following:
svn co https://macbuntu.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/macbuntu/Macbuntu/fonts/ ./
install -d $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/{TTF,Type1}
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/gbk/*.ttf $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/TTF
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/mac/*.ttf $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/TTF
install -m644 ./Macbuntu/fonts/mac/*.pfb $pkgdir/usr/share/fonts/Type1
That is, add the proper paths to the install commands.
EDIT: or here is one that is at least a lot closer to the right way - though it's the first svn PKGBUILD I've worked on:
_svn=ttf-mac-fonts
pkgname=${_svn}-svn

Incorrect font in Preview

Every now and again I have an issue with the incorrect fonts showing in Preview but not in Adobe Acrobat. Instead of showing what I think should be Arial of Helvetica it shows in an rounded italic font.
Any ideas?

Ah ha, I've found what the problem was. I had a font called "Helvetica" in Linotype Explorer X which was showing up in the program as Helvetica Rounded Italic for some strange reason. So Preview must have been reading from that and displaying incorrectly. I've deleted the problem font and all is good.

Incorrect Fonts When "Printing" Webpage to .pdf

When I "print" a webpage to a .pdf file, I occasionally get an incorrect font. For example, if I print a Wikipedia page, the font in the saved file will be Times New Roman. The font on the webpage looks to be Arial. I'm assuming it is a setting in the Adobe Printer preferences. I just can't seem to find the right setting. Any help is appreciated.

If the web page does not have a printable view option (a print button or printer icon that you can click on), then it is formatted for screen only. These types of sites often do not print nicely. The only alternative, is to try and select the parts that you want to print and then copy and paste them into a word processor or text editor for printing.

Incorrect font display in dashboard = font problems everywhere?

My G4 Silverdoor been hanging and freezing A LOT! Sometimes, several times in a day. When I run Disk Warrior, the most frequent error is incorrect font encoding. I run all of the repairs, and the problems reappear.
In Dashboard, several widgets have incorrect appearance for their bold titles (e.g., Systran tranlation & AccuWeather), so they look like hollow fill with white strokes. Re-installing the fonts does not remedy the problem. Re-installing the system does not remedy the problem. What is probaly wrong, and how can I fix it?

One other thing, perhaps a Finder problem of sorts. I was often freezing while trying to stream Flash content. When I ejected my ohter three internal drives, the freezes ceased. Does this indicate a problem with one of the drives (they test out okay), or some other aspect of my setup?

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.

Why do I see incorrect fonts when I create PDFs from Word

When I first started using Acrobat (versions 3 through 5), it was an incredible product because it could create an exact copy of a document I created with a DTP program. I could send that PDF to someone who did not have the DTP program, yet the recipient saw exactly what I created in the DTP program. That's what made Acrobat great. It worked flawlessly.
Now I have Acrobat Pro XI, and I can't create a PDF from Word and get the correct fonts. I've seen quite a few messages on this forum and elsewhere indicating that other people have this problem, too. But I haven't found a solution. I've tried many things that are suggested--embed fonts, don't embed fonts, and different settings. Nothing seems to work. I've spent hours on this insted of doing the job I am paid for (writing). So I'd be very glad if anyone knows how to fix this.
A few specifics:
- Using Word 2010 and Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.3. Windows 64 bit.
- Most fonts are OK, but some appear to be substitutes. For example, some headings that are supposed to be Tahoma bold-italic come out as something different. It's a lighter weight font. I don't know what it is.
- Creation method from Word: Acrobat Tab, Create PDF or File > Save As PDF. Either way I get the wrong fonts.
- Print to Adobe PDF printer DOES produce the correct fonts, but this doesn't help because you don't get bookmarks (which are a critical part of our final PDF product).
- At one point it seemed that a Word setting, File > Options > Save > Preseve fidelty when sharing this document, but it didn't always work.
- I've seen this same problem on four computers, all using Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI.
Some messages suggest that rolling back to Acrobat 8 will solve this problem. It's hard to believe that's the only solution.

I was starting to think this might be an issue with font fauxing (I think that's the tech term). You've confirmed it.
Here's what can happen.
Font designers design a font, and (if they have the enthusiasm) bold and italic and bold-italic versions of the font. If you compare carefully, you will see that they are often quite different designs (look at lower case "a" for example, you'll often see that different in italic). Anyway, in an ideal world the font designer has provided four font files. Choose the bold/italic buttons in Word and it (well, actually Windows) picks the right font file.
But Word never forbids you from choosing those buttons even if the font files aren't there. (As an aside, pro design tools like InDesign WILL stop you choosing a style for which there is no font file, because what happens next in Word is considered evil).
If you ask Windows (or Mac OS) to show you a font in italic and there is no italic font file, it will take the regular file and slant each character. This may look different from the italic design font, it may also have different spacing. But to the casual word processor user, all is fine. (The pro designer says "oh my, look at that"). No bold? The font letters get thickened up somehow, often with ugly results, but the casual user is happy, because it's clearly the same font and clearly bolder. These processes are called "fauxing" (from making a faux or fake font).
But what happens in a PDF? PDFs will not faux fonts, and they don't have to. If you make a PDF it's like printing. To print a faux italic font, a slanted font prints. Generally looks no worse than the screen font. To print a faux bold font there are several different techniques, all ugly. One is to print several copies of each letter, slightly set off from each other but overlayed. This isn't only ugly, copy/paste often yields something like BBBOOOLLLDD TTTEEEXXXTTT. Often the printed bold faux font doesn't look much like the screen bold faux font. And here we have your situation exactly.
Now, I see only Tahoma and Tahoma-Bold on my computer too. You could see if anyone seels an Italic/BoldItalic version, or if they are bundled with some Microsoft software (which you'd need to own, the fonts can't be freely copied). But really this is sending the message - use a different font. I'd use Arial, where Windows has had all four files included since Windows 3.1 was released.

Google Chrome displaying incorrect fonts

I have just downloaded google chrome for the first time and tested a site I have built in it, and all the fonts are times/serif style when I have created the style sheet to have ariel/helvetice/sans serif as the default body font.
Every other browser I have tested my site in has displayed the correct fonts - even dare I say it - Internet Explorer seems to be doing a great job! So why not chrome? Having looked for some rational reason, I decided to come here, using chrome as my browser, and it was then that I noticed that the adobe site which is normally sans serif is displaying serif fonts!!
Why?
Here's a link to the site:

Thanks.

Oh bless you... are you and your hefty walleted father in-law really that naive to believe this is a live website?
I am in the process of constructing the site, and as a result, I need to test it on a testing server rather than on my client's live domain! Occasionally, one has problems that one cannot seem to overcome without a little guidance from others who are able to help, which is obviously why you have joined this forum. If one does have problems, then you will without question be asked to show an example of the site and its code before you even get a relevant and constructive response. That's all you are looking at
As you rightly point out, the product range is missing images. If you actually bothered to look at the code, you would see that the source is blank, and secondly, if you read the text below each, you would see that all four are identical. Why would I bother to do that on a live site? You will also see that there are other parts of the site that I am yet to build, or if they are built, then I need to populate them with something other than dummy content. There is so much lorem ipsum across the site that I find it hard to believe anybody would consider this to be a finished product!
Look at what you have just judged and you will realise that there are so many clues that this isn't a complete site. The domain I have asked people to look at is under the name of matthew stuart design, and if you bothered to look at the top level of the domain, you'll quickly discover I am a graphic and web designer. I do not supply generators to markets (which are clearly indicated), such as the military where they generate electrical power to war torn regions to aid in the rebuild of that which has been destroyed... I don't supply the medical sector where stand-by power is required just in case there is a power failure during open-heart surgery.
If you studied the content of the wibiya bar, you would see that it refers to me as a designer, and my approach is a friendly one. However, at the moment I don't feel particularly friendly. Every job I have done has fulfilled my clients needs, but not only that, it has also fulfilled the requirements of my client's clients'. The wibiya bar is simply there as an example to my customers... I don't even have it on my live site!
What you have posted is totally out of line. The client I am building this site for has an exceptional name in their industry, and if your father in-law was in the market of buying a power generator, then I recommend them highly, and they will be able to build him something that suits his budget. If your father in-law requires a website, then I suggest he use somebody with experience, and that would be me, or any number of other experienced members of this forum.
So, your father in-law has made an incorrect judgement - leading me to question if he applies the same analytical processes to his million pound budget, OR, it's more than likely you have misled him due to your own naivety, and if that is the case, then I apologise for my previous comment about his capabilities.
If you're going to insult me, make sure you get your ducks in a row before-hand. Making such a comment could spread like a virus ruining my clients reputation... that's not just A BIG NO NO, it is hugely irresponsible!
By the way, I don't sell paper clips, but I've had a box full of them for more than 10 years and I don't use them; you can have them free of charge... you'll just need to pay for the postage!

DW CS3 incorrect font size display

Hello All,
I just upgraded to DW CS3 and any page that has paragraphs
with font size sets to "2" displays as about a 4 pt font and is
barley readable.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get them to display
correctly?
Thanks for the help!

Okay great, thanks guys. I've been going through my fonts and re-
organizing them (made the mac noob mistake a few years ago of putting
regular fonts in the system font library). I've also deleted those
LST files and disabled the MM fonts. No luck so far, so there must be
some culprit fonts on my system that are getting in the way.
Are there any programs/ways of telling what fonts might be funky?

Incorrect fonts displayed on the website of ClustalW

ClustalW is a web-based program to align protein sequences. In order to read these alignments properly, they must be displayed in fixed-width font. However, firefox on mac displays them in sans-serif font.
This behavior is reproducible even when I create a new profile and use that. I have tried the same on firefox 8 on a Ubuntu Linux machine and there it works as expected.

It is a website that anyone can access. All you need is input protein sequences which can be downloaded for free from a database like uniprot.
Anyhow, I just realized that the additional information I have posted along with the question is buried under the 'More System details...' link. Please follow these steps to see what I am talking about:
1. Go to http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalw2/
2. Enter the following as-is in the 'STEP 1' box: ('>Seq1' should be in first line and the sequence should be in the second line. Leave an empty line and do the same for seq2)
>Seq1
ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY
>Seq2
ACEEFGGIKLMNPQRRTVWY
3. Hit 'Submit'
A sequence alignment will appear. In firefox, the protein sequence is displayed in sans-serif font instead of monospace.

EPrinting and document is printing in the incorrect font

I just sent a document from my gmail accoung to my printer, it arrvied and printed out no problem, however the font that was usend in certain parts of the document was not there-the font that was to be used in sepcific parts was called Seanchlo Dubh and idea why this font did not print out in my document?

Hey kathyd242424,
The reason that this font type is not printing out is because it is not a supported font type of the printer.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
If I have resolved your issue, feel free to provide Kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

Incorrect font display in Safari

I have just updated my operating system to 10.4.10 from 10.4.6 and have developed a problem when loading up certain pages in Safari. The page looks like it has cyrillic characters and cannot be read even though it displayed fine before.
I seem to remember having this problem in 10.4.6 and found a discussion forum that said it was due to a conflict in fonts and there was a certain one I needed to uncheck in Fontbook, or a certain setting that needed altering in Safari. Can anyone remind me what the solution is?
Thanks

If it really is cyrillic, you need to dump or deactivate some font you have added to the system, probably with a name like Helvetica or Times with CYR or SLA added, most likely in Home/Library/Fonts. Other fonts that can cause similar problems are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic.

Incorrect font displayed when running oracle form 4.5

Hi,
I created a couples of form using Oracle Form 4.0 . Now I
install developer/2000 v1.3.2 to use Oracle Form 4.5.
However, when I run my forms by using Oracle Form 4.5, all the
text fonts are not displayed correctly ( I use font of Helvetica,
with font size 14). If anyone know the reason, please tell me how
to fix this problem. I appreciate it. Thanks
null

David,
if you really want to deploy the Forms as a Web (and so launch from a browser) you need to set up the Forms Server
and deploy your Forms to the Forms server. This will make the forms availabe by access from the URL
e/g/ http://machinename/virtual_directory/forms_file.html
the forms_file.html then points to the fmx you want to run.
However, if you want to set this up you really need to look at the documentation (see the online manual) or look at the white
papers on OTN.
I could be that you coul still launch the client server version from a URL but I am not sure this would really work (
what about lunching a .bat file from the URL and this bat file will countain the command line for running a form - that
way you can test it from outside the portal to get it working first).

Incorrect fonts on Quiz results screen

Hello,
I'm using font Frutiger for a captivate course, upon a client request. On my computer, everything is fine. On the client's computer, all screens show frutiger, except the quiz results screen. The labels do appear in Frutiger, but the variables ( {correct-questions}, {total-questions}, etc...) display a different font ( I think it's Times New Roman). Does this mean that the end-user must have installed the font type defined for the variable to see it as desired?
Thanks

Yes - I believe Captivate does not embed fonts, so if the font is not installed, the Flash player will substitute a font for you.
If you have access to Flash, maybe if you embed the Frutiger font in a small Flash file, then place that somewhere within your application, then perhaps Captivate will pick up the font in the Flash swf and use it when published?
If this works, that should also help with the aliased text.
