Jagged text in fireworks cs6

I recently purchased and installed Fireworks CS6 on my MAC and no matter what font I use the text comes out super jagged. I have used other versions of Fireworks for many years and I have never had this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks much!
P.S. - yes I have my zoom level set to 100%

No, it I have the same problem, it occurs when saving a file with text as a flattened PNG32 on a transparent background.

  • Fireworks CS6 text rendering is a disaster

    This is text rendered in Fireworks CS6 next to text of the same size produced by Paint.NET, with both using their default settings.
    And if we zoom in a bit:
    Can you guess which was produced by a product costing $300, and which was produced by a free utility?
    Seriously, is this a joke? There is no way I could use the garbage that CS6 is producing in production or to show to a client.

    It may be worth adding here that not every typeface will render well at a single, specific small size, like 10px. Particularly at small sizes, different typefaces have different "sweet spots". So a typeface that renders horribly at 10px may actually look quite decent at 9px.
    JonR001: If you don't have it already, I highly recommend The Complete Manual of Typography by James Felici (published by Adobe Press!). It's extremely thorough yet readable. I purchased a second-hand 2003 edition at my local bookstore as the more recent updated version seemed to disappoint a lot reviewers.
    I suspect that what you're noticing is, in part, an outcome of history. As I understand it, Adobe built its empire on print and making technology that allowed for the production of high-quality print materials. The computer display was just a weigh station in that process, not the final goal. By contrast, Apple and Microsoft have always placed a higher priority on the actual screen output. It seems that Adobe has yet to come up with a way to incorporate both worlds within their software, in terms of typographical output. They're still hanging on to their successful, print-based system.
    Let's also keep in mind that, for screen output, it's better to use actual text—rather than an image of text—for at least two reasons, the first being accessibility, the second being type rendering.
    I've linked to this article elsewhere, but it's got some great insights into all that goes into rendering type on screen:
    http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/02/the-ails-of-typographic-anti-aliasing/
    Interestingly, while doing some quick studies on this, I noticed that Photoshop's interface uses 10px type, but with subpixel anti-aliasing:
    Yet Photoshop itself cannot produce this kind of output. (I suppose this is being generated by the Mac OS?)
    I also found that, within Fireworks, the CS5 default Custom Anti-Alias setting—8x Oversampling, 192 Sharpness, 64 Strength—seemed to produce the best results:
    Then, of course, there's the aliased type option, but that seems to be a sore subject.

  • Fireworks CS6 trial is very slow on Windows 7

    I'm not sure what's going on, but it's bound to be fixable. I've downloaded and installed the Fireworks CS6 trial and it's stalling after performing simple tasks. The only way I know to describe it is like this -- here are a few examples:
    Try to create text, type the first letter and it hangs for about 30 seconds. Does the same after every letter I type.
    Zoom in, it hangs for about 30 seconds and tries to catch up.
    Move a layer in the layers panel, it hangs for about 30 seconds.
    In some cases, such as entering text, when it hangs I can minimize the window and then come back and it's ready to go. Of course it hangs again as soon as I type the next letter.
    Anyway, it's strange behavior and I'm not sure what to do. I'm on a ThinkPad W510 with Windows 7 Professional and 8 GB of ram.
    Thanks,
    Addison

    Thats odd - is the lag only with type objects? Specific Font Face or all of them? Does it occur with vector shape object creation/mainpulation?
    Is it possible that you have a corrupt font?
    I also use Win 7, though not the  same machine specs as yours but do not see the lag as you do.
    Hopefully, the engineers drop by the forums to better assist.

    Thanks Ken,
         I appreciate you looking at this.
    Basically im trying to create it on percentage width and centred within the container, if that makes any sense.

  • Fireworks CS6

    I discover a problem or bug in Fireworks CS6 while ago , posted in Fireworks forum  - no answer…report it like a bug to adobe – no answer,….call to technical support,…after been on hold ,described all info, on hold again, I got answer:  report it like a bug on adobe side  and support forum ,,,,,when I told support person , that I did that already, he told me, nothing else he can do for me…
    I just guessing,  nobody give a s….t anymore, nowhere, and that seems to be a problem in all around us, that is why economy sucks and…..
    I am old enough to still remember old good times, when people still care and if you call from English speaking country, you got help speaking English..
    Anyway, problem is, if you create a new document, and create a small slice in the middle, then create a hot spot bigger then that slice, and preview it in MS explorer, you will see some blue borders, frames around slices. Google Chrome or Safari is OK.
    You can just create only hot spot in empty document, and it happened too, just first description is better to see.
    And old Fireworks is OK, CS5…………….
    No big deal for me, just have to use CS5,…just try to help developers fix bags….if they care…
    This is document how it look in Fireworks:
    And here is explorer:

    Rudy,
    You've already made progress in isolating the problem: It occurs in CS6 but not in CS5. A good strategy would be to create a simple file in CS5, and then export it twice: first in CS5 and then again in CS6. When it comes to HTML output, the answer should be somewhere in the code. Compare the two versions. Use Dreamweaver's code view, or use the View Source option that's available in most web browsers.
    I tried this myself, using a simple Fireworks file containing just a single slice. I used the default export options for both CS5 and CS6, then opened both HTML files in Firefox and used its View Source option.
    This first graphic below shows the HTML output from CS5. The second shows the HTML output from CS6.
    See the difference? The CS5 version is riddled with border="0" attributes on every img tag. The CS6 version omits these attributes. Believe it or not, the CS6 version is probably better, from a contemporary coding standpoint. The use of style attributes on HTML tags (as in CS5) is deprecated in favor of using CSS rules. But then again, the use of slices, in general, is not a contemporary, standards-based method of web development—except, perhaps, in small doses.
    The good news: If you're looking for an easy fix for this, I think I've got one for you. Within Fireworks CS6, go to File > HTML Setup... and then under the HTML Style dropdown menu, select "Generic XHTML" instead of Dreamweaver XHTML. (Or choose Generic HTML.) This seems to bring back the border="0" attributes. And once you've made this change, it should become the new default for all your Fireworks CS6 documents.
    The bad news: Web development is a constantly moving target. When creating web designs and converting them to code, you're creating instructions for a design rather than the design itself. Each web browser has a tendency to interpret those instructions slightly differently. That's why Internet Explorer is showing you blue borders, where Google Chrome is not.
    I wouldn't trust Fireworks as a resource for contemporary web development practices. It's pretty much behind the times. But that doesn't mean it's not good for some things—like design, or certain aspects of the development process. And it's evolving, too.
    Much in line with Linda's suggestion (and my own on your previous post), you could instead opt to address this problem by adding a small CSS declaration to the existing style tag within the head of your HTML document, something like this:
    <style type="text/css">
        td img {display: block; border: 0;}
    </style>
    However, this would require modifying the code directly—and may require a bit of tweaking and experimentation—which may not be your preference. So my first suggestion might work better for you.
    Hope this helps. My fee for this consultation will be two bottles of scotch.

  • Fireworks CS6 from CC doens't respond properly anymore-

    Hi there,
    I'm working in Fireworks CS6 at my office and the problem I have since last Friday is,
    that the whole application doesn't respond properly anymore.
    The tool-shortcuts doesn't work anymore. While clicking the V and A button on my keyboard
    the tools eventually change thru but they're not working. So when I want do select an element
    I usually have to just click it when the right arrow-tool is selected but since friday I have to
    go through my layer-window to select any element.
    The next problem is (just as another example) the type tool. I can't just click it and type the hell
    out of that text box, NO (!!!), I have to select a word or a whole paragraph and than shift through it
    with my arrow-keys on the keyboard. That's just not working well. Sometimes I can't even do it
    like that and I have to restart the whole application.
    Another problem appears while the zoom-tool is selected. I just can zoom in and out by clicking the
    left mouse button and drag the selection open. Just clicking doesn't work anymore.
    Any suggestions on how to solve that problem? I've already reinstalled Fireworks twice (also with deleting
    all supporting files and preferences while uninstall the application.)
    Thanks in advance,
    Adrian

    I am having similar problems. As of this morning, I can no longer use the text tool to select and edit text, using Zoom from the toolbar does not work, though the keyboard shortcut still functions, I'm sure there are other issues I haven't discovered yet, but I'm effectively stuck in the water now and will likely miss a huge deadline today because of this. Adobe, somebody, please help!
    Adrian, I am going to try reinstalling and if that doesn't work then I will try the Permissions fix suggested in this thread: Select Tool, Text Tool stopped working in Fireworks CS6 on Mac OS 10.9.3 rendering program useless.... thoughts?
    Although, to be honest, I'm not sure how to do that, but I'll get someone to help me. If any of those things work I'll report back. Please let me know if you have been able to resolve the problem since your post and what you did. Thanks!

  • Fireworks CS6 is always pixelated - please help!

    Whenever I open Fireworks (CS6) the whole page is pixelated including all adobe text around the edge, for example the word 'properties' etc. Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash etc. don't do this so why does Fireworks?Fireworks

    You are working on a Mac, correct? Fireworks does not support retina screens very well, so it looks fuzzy.
    And no, Adobe will not solve this, because Fireworks is no longer developed or maintained since May 2013.

  • Problem editing labels of radio button symbols in Fireworks CS6

    Hi,
    I'm new to Fireworks, and I am struggling with symbols. I have encountered several problems creating reusable symbols and especially editing the labels.
    Problem 1
    I can't edit the label of a symbol that I create using a default Common Library symbol as a starting point. Here's how to reproduce:
    - Open a default symbol, say RadioButton(win) for editing
    - Do changes (font for example)
    - Save as a new symbol in the Common Library folder
    - Use the new symbol in a new document
    - Editing the label in symbol instance properties does not work
    Continuing with a rather irrelevant use case just trying to understand what is going on:
    - Add a default symbol RadioButton(win) from the Common Library to the same document
    - Now try editing the label of the new symbol (added to the document above)
    - The label (and other properties) of the default symbol are edited instead
    Problem 2
    Why can I not enter a number as a label of the RadioButton(win) symbol, found in the Common Library? The workaround is simple though, I can just enter a number followed by a space.
    Problem 3
    How to create a set of a heading and three radio buttons as a symbol? If I simply convert three RadioButton(win) symbols and a text element to a new symbol, I lose the possibility to edit the labels of the radion buttons. The properties show that the radio buttons have labels from the time before converting to a new symbol, but in the new symbol the radio button elements have labels that say "label", and I cannot edit them.
    What is the best way to create radio buttons, check boxes, combo boxes and other symbols with custom look and feel, while retaining all the functionality of the symbols?
    Thank you,
    Teemu

  • Help! Upgrade Fireworks CS5 (from Creative Suite 5 Web Premium) to Fireworks CS6 not working!

    Today I bought and downloaded Fireworks CS6 from the Adobe webshop as an update for my Fireworks CS5 that was included in my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium-set.
    But during the installation of Fireworks CS6 the serial number of my Creative Suite 5 Web Premium - needed for the installer to verify that I could 'legaly' upgrade - was not accepted! So now I can use Fireworks CS6 only as a try-out-version...
    What can I do? If Creative Suite 5 Web Premium isn't the right upgrade-version: how can I get my money back? Or is there another solution?
    Please help Adobe!
    And thanks in advance,

    Thanks for the reply. but how do I manually weed out the install entries in my registry? could you please guide me with the steps? This http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html is not working I am afraid. I understand that I need to uninstall the creative suite before I run CS cleaner. But as I explained in my first question, the uninstallation is not working at all. Even I could uninstall the software, I am afraid that I may get into trouble if installatin is not working. All I want is that my photoshop error " save for web devices " which was grayed out should work as normal. This error happened after I moved the plug-ins.
    Thanks

  • HTML-Code aus Fireworks CS6 in Dreamweaver CC aktualisieren

    Ich habe in Fireworks CS6 für eine Website ein Inhaltsverzeichnis mit verschiedenen RollOvern erstellt. Jetzt sollte eine Änderung durchgeführt werden, die ich ebenfalls in Fireworks erstellte. Sinnvollerweise habe ich dann die zu korrigierenden Seiten dann zur Aktualisierung aus Fireworks heraus aufgerufen und die dazugehörigen Bilder im entsprechenden Ordner gesichert. So weit, so gut. Die Korrektur funktionierte einwandfrei. Allerdings wurden in sämtlichen HTML-Seiten alle ä,ö,ü,ß usw. durch mathematische Wurzelzeichen, Haken und diverse andere Zeichenformen ersetzt.
    Hat hier jemand eine Idee, was  der Grund hierfür sein könnte? Die Schriftcodierung im Headbereich der Seiten (UTF-8) war ja von den Korrekturen nicht betroffen. Die Einstellungen sind unverändert vorhanden. Wer kann mir weiter helfen?
