Is it possible to turn off text smoothing (Anti-Aliasing)?

Hi,
this Anti-Aliasing or I think it is called text smoothing in English is really ugly and is driving me nuts. I cant turn it off. Even with TinkerTool up to size 144 it just doesnt help. Especially Safari loks horrible. Can it be turned off? Does anyone know if Leopard will be able to turn it off?
Cheers
Axel

Have you set font smoothing in Appearances (System preferences) to match your monitor?

  • Is it possible to turn off a spot colour

    Hello
    Probably a dumb question but I will ask anyway. Is it possible to turn off a spot colour in CS4. I can effectively do it by creating a spot white and merging the spot colour I want to delete to the spot white using the ink aliasing. However, this leaves a spot colour in the high res pdf at th end of the job. This then causes a problem as we use an online proofing system which then fails the flightcheck as there is a spot colour in the pdf.
    Cheers

    The spot colour is used so that we can perform a find on any text with a fill of the spot colour and delete it. The spot colour is put in for this purpose when the original artwork is created in the US.
    Kathlene - I can't believe I didn't spot that! This would work! We could just convert the swatch to 0% cmyk as you suggest. The majority of the pages in the catalogue are on a white background so the pricing would simply disappear resulting in no spot place when pdf's are made. There are some pages on a coloured background but these are very few and the pricing could be deleted manually.
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I turn off text auto-correct in Number IOS?

    I use Numbers as a project workbook and it drives me insane I cant turn off text auto-correct. I use a bunch of abbreviations that Numbers wont allow without constantly changing to the extent that its almost useless.

    Auto correct is controlled at the system, not apps, level (with a few possible exceptions, but Numbers isn't one of them).

  • How do I completely turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro?

    I am at a loss. I've seen dozens of people complain about this, but I'm still hoping there's a solution: How do I turn off font smoothing on my MacBook pro? I've toggled the anti-aliasing options every which way, and no matter what I do, the text is always slightly blurry (there's always a slight halo of grey around the characters to smooth them out). This would be the perfect computer if I could just turn that dang feature off completely, but as it is it's so hard on my eyes I can't use it for reading or writing for any extended period.

    DigiLloyd posted some aditional info on this subject, here:
    "Apple abandoned useful font smoothing user interface support in Mac OS X Leopard for a “moron setting” in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, leaving those with non-Apple displays high and dry with unattractive text display.
    You’ll need to use Terminal to set things right (or at least better, which is not to say optimal)."

  • Is it possible to turn off a channel in DAQ?

    I am using 4*PXI-6070E to acquire 64 channels simultanously. Is it possible to turn off one or several channels during acquisition? Which function or property node should I use? I have tried using property node "disable" in waveform graph but it seems didn't work. That channel is still running and the data is still here. Can anyone help me plz? THX a lot!

    Once a set of channels are configured in a task and being acquired, you cannot reconfigure the task (add/remove channels) without stopping the running task
    What you could do is to: Use array functions ( like index array) to create a subset of channels you require, from the set of channels being acquired

  • How do I turn off text box in pages?

    how do I turn off text box in pages?

    Thank you Peter and Jerry.
    Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
    In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
    It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Best, Angela

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

    Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

    Hi buddy,
    I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
    But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)

  • How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    You may uncheck some preferences in the Pages > Preferences menu item.
    You may also define your own custom default template.
    But you certainly are aware of that because it's described in the PDF User Guide delivered with every copy of iWork.

  • Is it possible to turn off the Apple dock completely?

    I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the Apple dock completely without causing irreparable damage to my system. I am considering using Drag Thing, but when I am using it the functionality seems redundant with the Apple dock, also using both programs in tandem uses up more precious memory. The Drag Thing website links to the following tutorial as a solution:
    http://www.creativemac.com/2003/02_feb/tutorials/dockdead2030225.htm
    But it was published a long time ago, and I don't want to do anything rash that would damage my system, I mean I don't dislike the Apple dock enough to do that. Thanks in advance for the consideration and suggestions.

    I could only discover an option to hide the dock from within Drag Thing. I am looking to make the dock disappear completely. Drag Thing does not officially support this option, giving this answer in the Q & A section of their website:
    "*It is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since people often ask how to do it anyway, here's a good tutorial I found on how to kill the Dock by Kevin Schmitt. This may have unforseen side effects however, which is why I've not documented the procedure myself, or added an option for this in DragThing. I keep the Dock hidden off the bottom of the screen on my own Mac.*"
    Is the dock so embedded within the Finder's operations that killing it will affect system performance?

  • Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

    I’ve seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don’t see anywhere to turn it off at that point.  In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn’t find it.

    no, once you get to Passcode Lock, there is no option to turn it off - certainly none visible to me.  Have you actually tried to do this?  Do you have an iphone 4s?
    Here is a screen shot of what you get when you press "Passcode Lock".
    You have to ENTER your passcode first, to access the part of the Settings that allows you to disable the passcode lock.
    Enter your passcode.
    Then you can turn the passcode off.

  • Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again?

    Is it possible to turn off the updates that make your iphone need to be activated again? Because you need wifi in order to activate and sometimes I don't have wifi so my iphone becomes unusable untill I get wifi again.

    I'm sorry but it says 8.1.2 on my phone when I check for the info about the software.
    The issue I have is that on random moments it asks me to activate my phone ( I think after an update or some kind ) but sometimes I have no access to wifi to activate it so I was wondering if I could make that stop?
    I'm sorry for the strange explanation, english isn't my mothertongue

  • Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
    When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
    If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
    There are a couple of avenues for you
    Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
    paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

    This user has found a "hack" to turn off faces.  Several users have reported success with the method.  I can't comfirm the method as I've not used it.  Use at your own risk.

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.
