Is anybody experiencing odd UI font display in Illustrator 2014.1?

Hi everyone. Updated to CC 2104.1 yesterday and everything works fine for me although I am seeing a little untidiness in the UI font. Only in Illustrator though, not in PS or ID - they are fine.
It's as if the UI font has changed somehow and doesn't display uppercase 'O' and lowercase 'a' clearly - see below.
Doesn't affect anything performance wise but just looks a bit untidy. Anybody else experiencing?
I am on Windows 8.1 64 bit on a 1920 x 1080p display, with no desktop/font scaling (i.e. everything set at 100% default).

Hi Sanjay
Thanks for getting back. It is only for the small font that is used in the UI i.e. in preferences boxes, in panels (layer names, swatch names etc) and for links in the top bar such as 'stroke', 'opacity', 'character'.
It's funny, but I noticed the difference in font (or font rendering) straight away, but being a designer I guess we are attuned to these things . It reminds me of the anti-aliasing setting in photoshop i.e. difference between 'clear' and 'crisp' for example. Sometimes small text looks better with less AA.

  • I have been experiencing my iPad font/display just magnifies about 80% on by its own.

    Why does my iPad screen freezes on its own ant pic and font becomes 80%bigger

    If you have gestures on in settings, double tapping your screen will increase the size.  To bring to normal size, double tap the screen again.

  • Can no longer see font display in Illustrator CS2

    I am still in CS2. It used to be that I could see a little "thumbnail" preview of the fonts when I would have a text selection and would be scrolling through my font list in order to decide what font I would use. Now all I can see is the name of the font and no preview of what it looks like. This feature still works in Photoshop, but why did it disapper in Illustrator?

  • Foreign fonts display in character drop down menu

    When designing a sign for a customer, I take a photo of the existing signs, place on a new document in illustrator cs6, type text then scroll through the text character drop down menu to match the new sign text to the font that is currently on the customers signs, business card etc.
    There are many different types of fonts and I would prefer not to have the adobe system fonts, asian, arabic and other fonts that are not used for my purposes.
    Is there a way to remove them from this list.
    I have tried deleteing them from the window 7 font manager but they are essential system fonts and it displays a message that some programes will not work if I delete them.
    I have tried show/hide in the windows 7 font manager but this has no effect on the fonts displayed in illustrator.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    update...
    Seems windows 7 fonts can be set to show/hide for some programs but it does not work in illustrator. I have found a helpful program by Adobe Air called Font Picker which displays only the fonts installed and excludes hidden fonts (windows 7 font manager).
    It would be good to have a search facility that has fonts catagorised. There are a few out there where you can tag them but I don't see myself sitting through 35000+ fonts I have collected over the years.
    I did install Illustrator CC which has a few added options under the character font drop down menu. It also has a link to Typekit on Adobe Cloud but would you believe it didn't have Calligri which is a very common script font.
    Has anyone on this forum found a solution to this before. There are may questions related to this on the web but no answers or feed back.

  • Resolved: Font display in RH9 changed

    Recently while working in RH9, the font display in the topics changed to display differently than the selected font. When I generate, the topics display the appropriate font; however, when I reopen RoboHelp after a reboot, it still displays the odd font. It's like it is displaying MS Sans Serif versus the selected Verdana. Spacing is off as well. all this in the visual display is distracting and makes it difficult to format visually. I published and it seems OK once published as well. The font displays just fine; however, back to the robohelp files, looks weird.  Anyone else experience this and figure out how to fix?
    I continued reading down through the list of RoboHelp HTML discussions and found the solution in someone else's discussion "Problem with design view display." Adjust the Zoom. the zoom adjusted to 90% for some reason (possibly hit the wrong combination of keys while working) and when adjusted back to 100%, it resolved the problem.
    THANKS.

    Is the zoom setting perhaps not set to 100%? Can you post a screenshot of the RoboHelp window showing this behaviour?
    Greet,
    Willam

  • Font displaying wierdly!

    Changing to leopard, all my settings and preferences were imported.
    In nearly ALL of my programs, I set Verdana as the standard font for display. In a number,I am having a strange 'comic' style font display, most noticeably in browsers and google in particular.
    For example, the links on google search works fine displaying as I want, but the text beneath the link display in this odd font. it's barely legible. If I could attached an image I know it would help, but not sure I can on this forum. I tried to copy and paste without success.
    Any know what this is or experience it?

    ,I am having a strange 'comic' style font display
    Font substitution like this from junk free fonts downloaded from the internet is very common. Find the font and remove it from your system.

  • Problem with fonts display in safari and mail ???

    hello !
    sometimes i have problems with fonts display
    safari use a mathematics font instead of my preferences fonts
    i have to copy-paste in a text-editor to see the right font !!!
    i have the same problems sometimes in mail
    is anybody have infos about that problem ?
    thanks !
    p.s. mail version 1.3.11 - safari version 1.3.1

    OS X cocoa apps like Safari and Mail don't like non-Unicode fonts using common names that replace Latin with symbols or other scripts. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are common culprits. You need to remove such fonts to solve the problem.

  • Better font display: Ask for tester

    Here is my chinese opmitised fonts.conf file, and ANYBODY who is using another language is supposed to benefit from it, you can get better font display if it works, so I ask for more tester, all you neet to do is to replace your original fonts.conf file(under your /ete/fonts/) with this one, don't forget backup firstly.
    I don't know how to enclose an attachment, so I post my fonts.conf 's content here, I am using freetype 2.1.8 and fontconfig 2.2.2, I compiled them by abs, and almost the same PKGBUILD as Judd, however I don't apply any patches.
    fonts.conf:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
    <!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
    <fontconfig>

        changes to [email protected] so that future releases can include
        such changes.
        Note that the normal 'make install' procedure for XFree86 is to

    I got brave and gave your font.conf a shot.  everything worked great but when building the fontconfig pkg I had to change the source line to...
    source=(http://freedesktop.org/~fontconfig/release/fontconfig-2.2.2.tar.gz)
    other than that the freetype and font pkgbuild files worked and installed fine.
    When I replaced my font.conf file with yours, after backing up mine ofcourse, and rebooted I didn't have any problems but the overall apearence was not as good as it was when using my original file. I switched back to my original and no harm done. I don't speak chinese but was curious. I'm just learning abs and building my own packages. I was impressed with your pkgbuild files working and then installing with no errors. The first ones I have ever used that worked.  but now when I run pacman -Su it wants to upgrade back to fontconfig-2.2.1-2 and freetype2-2.1.7-1. I should say downgrade. I guess I need to search for an answer to why it doesn't recognize the new pakages as being the latest.

  • Font Display Quality Bad After Update

    Hello all,
    my font display is really bad since upgrading to Tiger. I have Font Smoothing Style set to automatic and have tried light and others but everything appears over-sharpened. For example, as I type this, the font has an extereme sharpening, so much so that I see highlights on the top edges of characters. Regular Verdana appears in both Safari and Firefox as bold, and bold looks black. All in all, everything looks awful. I am using an Apple Cinemascreen. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    I don't know FontExplorerX but check its compatibility with Tiger. You want to try disabling this font manager client?

  • Poor font display in Acrobat X

    When I view many PDF files in Acrobat Pro X (10.1.9) in Windows 7, the font displays poorly:
    The same file appears fine in the Firefox viewer:
    Any idea how I can fix the issue?

    A couple of questions about the displays above.
    What are your Page Display preferences in Acrobat?
    Is the font in the PDF file embedded?
    What is the Firefox viewer?  Do you mean the JS file named PDF.js?
    Can you post a sample file that is displaying this behavior?

  • Problem with the way fonts display in Internet Explorer

    Howdy. I built a site about a week ago (first crack at this). It has quite a bit of content but seemed to be fine on Safari, Netscape and Firefox. I checked it out at work on a PC with Internet Explorer 6 and there were typography problems. I intentionally used simple web fonts (all Arial) to hopefully minimize this sort of thing. I used a 70% tint of Black for the font color on all the fonts. On Explorer the fonts display fine on pages 1, 2, 3, and 4. On page 5 the type appears blurry, really greyed and spread. I can't figure out why (same fonts and styles).
    As an experiment I tried posting just a couple of pages with the type at 100% black. The really bad pages weren't so bad (but not nearly as good as on the other browsers.) The site is rballister.com. If you click on any of the links (picture boxes) on the "print & mail index" pages you will see the problem with the type. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    Because I thought it would be a nice effect, I decided to use the slider in the color pallette and change to color of the type from 100% black to 70% black (which is to to say a shade of gray). I'm referring to text that I keyboarded into iWeb. As previously mentioned, the gray type worked just fine on most browsers but caused problems in Internet Explorer (in a seemingly random way. Still can't figure out the reason). When I changed the type to black on a white background (black and white), the problem wasn't as bad as it was in Explorer, but still not nearly as good as in the other browsers.

  • Poor Fonts Display in PDF

    I am trying to figure out if the font display problem I am having has something to do with Fusion 4 (v15.0.5) Acrobat (vCS5.5) or Mac OS X (v10.8.3). I am using an iMac 27 inch.
    When I view fonts in other applications (e.g. InDesign, Photoshop, TextEdit, MSWord, etc.) they look fine at any distance on screen. But when I generate a PDF, either from with the application or via Acrobat Distiller, they look poor on screen at reduced or 100% of size. Sort of jaggedy but not truly jagged. When I zoom in really close the fonts look fine. I am primarily using Open Type and Postscript fonts. But this happens with any fonts. They are embedded and it prints out just fine. When I view any PDF documents downloaded from the Internet, it is the same things. Just the screen display is bad.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this?

    Check what you have set for: Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display > Smooth Text

  • Appleworks 6/Font display problem in 10.6

    Has anyone else struggled with the Menu WYSIWYG Font display scrolling so painfully slowly since loading 10.6.2 ?
    It races as normal in 'names', but I need WYSIWYG when selecting .... now I may never see Zingbats again.
    Any suggestions ?
    (I'm also placing this in the Appleworks Forum)

    When AppleWorks behave slow or incorrectly there are some maintenance task to perform which usually does help.
    Delete Recent items which you find in yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items
    Delete com.apple.appleworks.plist found in yourname >Library>Preferences
    While in Preferences Find the folder AppleWorks and delete the Appleworks preferences
    Empty the trash and restart AW

  • Chinese font display problem

    In the javascripts of this web site http://weiqi.sports.tom.com/php/zhuanti/zhuantinew.php?id=23
    ( follow any red link in this page, there will be a javascript popped up), some chinese characters can not be displayed in the right text box and no matter how many changes I make in the fontconfig.properties file about the Chinese font, there is no change of the chinese characters in these java script pages (in the right text box and on the lowerright buttons).
    I want to change all the chinese font displayed on the javascripts to the font "ar pl shanheisun uni", how to? Thanks.
    My system is Ubuntu 7.04, locale is zh_CN.UTF-8. Jre 1.6.0 or Jre 1.5.0.
    I used another Redhat 9.0 system(Jre 1.5.0_02), it can display these characters in the another chinese font. That system is not configured by myself. So I think there must be some way to change these fonts.
    Here is my fontconfig.properties file:

  • Safari 3.2.1 With 10.5.6 Update = Corrupt Font Display

    Since updating to 10.5.6, Safari is corrupting the display of certain small fonts, such as the "Compose" and "Preview" tab labels at the top of this Discussion "New Topic" window, and mail subjects in Yahoo web mail. The problem is more severe with small bold fonts. I have OS X's font smoothing turned off for font sizes smaller than 12 pt, and use the CRT smoothing style, as I prefer little to no font smoothing on my LCD monitor.
    I've reset Safari, corrected duplicate fonts, validated all fonts, run DiskWarrior, FontNuke to clear all font caches, and even reinstalled the 10.5.6 combo updater; nothing has helped. If I make the font one size smaller, the corruption is mostly corrected. OmniWeb 5.8 has the same issue as Safari under 10.5.6; FireFox 3.0.5 & Camino 1.6.6 are unaffected, and render fonts as well under 10.5.6 as they did under 10.5.5.
    I've booted my 10.5.5 backup to verify that Safari 3.2.1 and OmniWeb 5.8 had no font display issues before the 10.5.6 update. The 10.5.6 update was the only software change made on my system since the 10.5.5 backup I used for comparison.
    Anyone else seeing strange font display in Safari under 10.5.6? I think you'd have to minimize OS X font smoothing as described above for the problem to become visible. I'm out of possible solutions, other than hoping for a fix in 10.5.7.

    Well, for the time being, I'm just going keep 10.5.6, and use revised font smoothing settings: "Automatic" style, and "turned off" for font sizes 10 pt and smaller. The reason is that I did a little more investigating, and found that the distorted small font issue affects the entire system, including the Finder, not just Safari.
    I checked my G4 MDD that's running 10.4.11 on two 23" monitors (1920x1200), and it has the same issue as my G5 running 10.5.6, if font smoothing is turned off. So, this is apparently a long standing OS X issue that, for some reason, never affected my lower resolution G5 system driving a 20" monitor (1680x1050) until the 10.5.6 update was installed.
