JavaScript displays oversize fonts in multiple browsers (OS 10.4.10)

My web site uses JavaScript for tabbed dropdown menus and scrolling type. Some users with OS 10.4.10 report that the type displayed by the JavaScript is oversize. For tabbed menus this causes the row of tabs to become too long so that the last tab(s) of the line wrap to a new line, causing them to become inaccessible. This problem does not occur for all users of OS 10.4.10 -- the tabs display properly for some and not for others. For those users with the problem, it occurs with Safari, Camino, Firefox and Omniweb, but not the old IE. I have tested the page on Safari, Opera, Netscape, Camino & Firefox on Mac (10.3.9), as well as Win IE, Netscape and Firefox, but cannot reproduce the problem. While so far I've only gotten reports of this occuring for OS 10.4.10 users, it has occurred on non-Intel as well as Intel Macs.
The web page is at: http://pathwaysoflight.org
Any ideas on the cause and resolution?

Robert,
For what it's worth...
I viewed your site using updated versions of Camino, Firefox, Safari, Shiira, Opera and IE. With the exception of IE 5.2.3, I was able to reproduce the trouble in each browser when I set a minimum font size to anything above number 11. Setting the minimum font to 12 caused the "Links" menu to get crowded out; setting to 14 would cause multiple menus to become jumbled. The problem occurred whether my display's resolution was set to 800 x 600, or 1024 x 768. The good news was that in each case resetting the minimum font size (within the respective browsers' preferences) to 11 solved the problem.
Viewing the site in IE, which doesn't feature a minimum font size setting option, presented its own difficulties: mousing over any of the menu items expanded the drop-down menus as expected, but moving the mouse away from, or clicking outside the menu area, would fail to collapse the menus. The only workaround for me was to refresh the page and try to keep the mouse pointer away from the menus.
A couple things to look into perhaps...
Good luck!

Issues with having pages display correctley. It does this in multiple browsers, Chrome, IE, and FF. Some pages display correctley.

I have been having trouble viewing pages in multiple browsers since last night. It has done this with me before. I am using an Acer Aspire and also Firefox version 23. I've tried looking online and following suggestions such as clearing the cache, retarting in safe mode, etc. Nothing seems to work. It's only on certain pages. For example- Facebook works and displays fine. It's when I go to websites like Amazon, Wix, Ebay, and others that I get the issue. The pages are displaying with a white background and just text/links and basic images. I've checked the page style and it is on Basic Page Style. Here is what I have:

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Displaying swf fonts, not working

In Adobe Shockwave Flash player object, are there any known differences between version 12.0.0.77 and 12.0.0.44 with regards to displaying swf fonts, in Internet Explorer? We have seen a variety of issues with almost all versions. We had 12.0.0.77 installed and the fonts were displayed quite improperly - very Large - , and then we downgraded to 12.0.0.44 and it worked, displaying the fonts properly. Then it upgraded to 12.0.0.77 and it worked again.
This happens in Internet Explorer, all versions. We have a heavy install on IE8 where we see if most.
What changes between the two versions would cause this?
What connections are required between the client and the server, if any?
In the page source, these transformations are triggered in statements similar to this one:
sIFR.replaceElement("h4", named({sFlashSrc: "/SiteCollectionImages/sIFR/neosans.swf", sColor: "#333", sCase: "upper", sWmode:"transparent"}));
Any idea what may cause such odd, inconsistent behaviour?

This is a flash or shockwave font, no real development involved I believe. The fact is it worked for years, then Adobe did an upgrade on the Object and it did not work. So just wondering what may have caused this in the release on the updated object.
It also does not work in Firefox, Chrome etc, as these browsers act as if it's not enabled. So it seems like there is a handshake that is not being addressed, access to the server-side font for example.
The font stopped working because of the change in the client side Object, not with anything on the server, development-wise.
In several places, in some companies, IE accounts for 100% of the browsers. And in some of those places IE8 may account for close to 100% of those installs. To dismiss a query because it involves IE is not really helpful, or constructive.
Are there any dependencies on the Object running and the server presenting the material, or could it be rights within the browser environment that may have changed (running javascript with prpoer permissions for example)?
Thanks, in advance, Dave

Multiple Browsers with the same Page Flow

I have a legacy application that I am working on migrating to Weblogic. The
legacy application allowed the user to have multiple windows of the same
module open at the same time. Users found this useful if they wanted to look
at two different records in the same module. For example, if you had a
registration app and you wanted to look at Joe's registration information
and Sue's registration. Is it possible to have two browsers within the same
session open and pointing to the same RegistrationController.jpf?
Thank You.
Michelle

I believe our problem is that our form beans are class members of the page
flow thus when you open another instance of the same controller the form
beans are overwritten. Our GUI is displayed as modules containing multiple
tabs with a form bean for each tab. The module has a controller, signifying
the page flow for the module. So, one record in a module will span multiple
tabs. We did not want to have one big form bean that is why we multiple
form beans. But it now looks like we will need to store these form beans
perhaps to the session in a collection identified by the window instance
they belong to.
We also need to do multiple different page flows but I don't think nested
page flows will not work here because the page flows would almost need to be
nested of each other. I guess you could almost think of as each module is
an independent application however some can be invoked by others.

Hi Michelle,
Yes, that should be just fine. That page flow will remain the "current
page flow" as requests from both browser windows hit it. The NetUI
runtime synchronizes the action methods, so you don't need to worry about
thread-safety within them.
There's also a way to have multiple different active page flows at the
same time, but in this case you don't need to do anything special.

How can I change the font to multiple titles at the same time?

Hey guys, quick question. I have a bunch of titles and lower thirds in my project and my producer decided that he didn't like the font we were previously using and wants to change it to a new one. He seems to do that pretty often. Is there a way to "globally" change the font to multiple title cards at the same time instead of clicking on each one separately and doing it manually for each one? And if there is no way to do that does anyone have any ideas on how to make it easier?

If you have any idea of design and fonts you would understand that "Title Cards" are not "exactly the same" if you change the font... because all fonts are not equal! Lower thirds are probably even more restrictive because they have design elements in them.
If you work with "change their mind producers"...the deal that goes with that is suck up their changes. (on a salary or otherwise)
I was just saying there is no way without scripting ..to change a title ( graphic) en masse ( in Premiere) and get it working because of font differences.

Document properties has not fonts listed and not able to display korean font

Hi,
I have a korean PDF file which I am using Adobe Acrobet 9 Pro to view the file. When I open the file, the text is all in not-standard characters. An example looks like the following:
I tried to search to see if I am missing installing the font for Acrobet, but couldn't really find anything. Then, I checked the file properties, under the Font tab, it did not list anything.
I want to ask if anyone would know why the PDF file is not displaying the font properly? and is there anyting I can do to fix it?
Thanks.

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.

Display a text in multiple lines inside a button

I have a toggle button bar containing many buttons as follows:
<mx:ToggleButtonBar id="menu"
     itemClick="clickButton(event)"
     styleName="myToggleButtonBarStyle"/>
The styles apllied are :
<mx:Style>
          .myToggleButtonBarStyle {
               button-style-name: "buttons";
               vertical-center:0;

          padding-left:45;
          padding-right:30;
     </mx:Style>
My problem is that when I have a long text, it is displayed in one ligne so the button get larger. I do not want my button to get larger it has to keep the initila size (my button is an image). I want indeed to display the text in multiple lines rather than only one.
How to do this?
Thank's in advance

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:

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!

How can I get my website to display the same in multipul browsers?

I am having trouble displaying my webpage in different browsers. I have run it through html & css validators and they can't pick up on any faults which would through the site out of line.
When I display the same code on different computers, different aspects of the pages change even though the files are exactly the same.

Start by running your page through the validator:
http://validator.w3.org/
You have some elements which are not nested properly such as scripts running outside of the head and body, required attributes missing, tags missing opening or closing, a <br /> tag in between </td> and <td>. Then you can ignore the stuff about Flash because the Adobe codes for Flash and Spry never seem to validate. Some of the other errors at the bottom like no </body> tag can be ignored because they are there, it just means there is a tag not closed before the end of the body so it generates an error saying the body was not properly closed. The lines below that with tag mismatches will help you determine what is and what is not closed.
If you get that done and still have errors please let us know what browser/version/error you are having an issue with.

Not now. Maybe in a few years or so. Or maybe never, if you stop to think about it.
There are several free automatic translators on the web. You can find them by googling it. (Your Dashboard translator uses Systran's.)
I tried using text input
I assume you mean you enabled Kotoeri, the Japanese input method. This is for those who wish to type in Japanese. It's not a translating tool.

Asian fonts display in font book but show as Western fonts in apps!

Adobe apps still display Asian fonts as Western characters, even though I've changed language settings via the "international" control panel of System Preferences. Perhaps I have not done this correctly? I've restarted the machine after changes to Systems language prefs. Asian and other calligraphic fonts are all installed and display fine in Font Book. Is there a fix?

As my aim is to access character sets without the
need to change the language settings on my machine
That's exactly what Character Palette does.
think the ideal solution is to get a copy of
Fontographer and copy all the decorative fonts and
save them as standard fonts.
A total waste of time in my view.
True Futhark has several
characters that stand for phonetics not compatible
with plain roman alpha/qwerty keyboard use. I
understand the same is true of other fonts-there are
bound to be discrepancies.
Most of the characters in the world are not compatible with qwerty keyboard use. That's why in general people don't use that method to produce them, or try to jigger fonts so they might be able to.
Perhaps this is why so
many characters come up as "?" even when inserted
via the Finder's character palette?
This may be because your app is set to Latin-1 or some other limited encoding. It should be set to UTF-8. Try Character Palette with TextEdit and you will not get any ?'s.
Control+T does nothing in Adobe apps, as far as I can
see. Apple+T brings up the Type palette but there is
no "insert special character" option there.
I got that wrong. The combo for Apple apps is Option + Apple + T. I don't know if that works in Adobe (don't use them myself).
I did notice a wonderful
Tibetan font that must be on my machine somewhere,
though it does not show up in Font Book under "All
Fonts"!
These are part of the ST series of Chinese fonts. If you go to the Tibetan range in Character Palette you can see this and you can also input them in TextEdit or a UTF-8 doc. Or you can examine the contents of an ST font by putting Character Palette in glyph mode.
I guess ideally, for graphics use, one should get the
characters into a standard font file, as I suggest
above, and then type away merrily qwerty-style.
Some Asian scripts have thousands of characters. Using a qwerty keyboard to try to access a few of them from a recoded font is not something that anyone does as far as I know. They use a specialized Input Method or the Character Palette or a similar utility. Also unless you are truly transforming your output into graphics/photos, your input would be seen as qwerty on other machines.
suppose these decorative fonts are available on the
web somewhere, where those who sell them have gone to
the trouble of transcribing the characters in to an
'ordinary' font for you?
Never seen such things myself.
It seems a shame that Macs OSX can't grant you access
to all these decorative fonts (indeed, to all
installed fonts) in a more straight forward manner.
The Character Palette is the most straightforward manner possible for accessing such scripts, if you do not want to switch keyboard layouts. All computer system use a similar mechanism. It even has a Favorites section where you can store characters you want to use frequently so you can avoiding looking them up each time. If you have some specific problems using it, I'd be glad to help, here or by email (click on my name for the address).
Am I correct in these assumptions?
No, I think all of them are wrong myself.
