Like you saw in images above, page under Firefox at my Arch looks ugly, but not every (eg like http://bbs.archlinux.org looks okay).

I even used cairo,libxft,... - hacks "-ubuntu", but my issue was still there Now I have clean that packages, without "-ubuntu".
I've copied TTF fonts from W7 into my Arch.
I have up to date system under Gnome 2.28.
Sorry for my gramma

Gen2ly wrote:adding a whole slew of things probably not doing much good
Now, why on Earth would I do that? Think I'm creating this file at random?? I'm continually testing and refining the rules. The purpose of the rules is to compensate for fontconconfig's inability to do such tweaking automatically. The end result is that fonts look better - I'm surprised that I need to point this out, it should be blatantly obvious.
hintslight should be used until the mid or up to the upper 100dpi range
That's meaningless by itself, you must include pixelsize in the equation. The majority of Microsoft's fonts, as well as various other fonts, actually look better when small using hintfull.
is a hack... Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Well, yeah, of course, it would be great if fontconfig did all the tweaking for us - but it doesn't. Fonts vary greatly, so fontconfig needs to be told the best ways to render various fonts, at various sizes/weights. You don't seem to understand this point, judging by this and your other posts regarding fonts - same as skottish, IIRC. Don't you guys have eyes?
Anyway, here's my current ~/.fonts.conf, which continues to be improved.

One design issue about merge and equivalent DDL

Hi All,
My DB is 11.1. RAC 4 nodes.
Today I encountered one SQL that did merge and ran very slowly. After tuning, it
cost more than 2 hrs to finish.
According to Oracle manual and my own understanding,
1.MERGE itself can't have inner-partition parallelism. So if the target table is
non-partitioned, PML doesn't work here.
2.MERGE genertes redo and can't be suppressed.
So I think whether an equivalent CTAS works better, considering about daily
increments are relatively large amount comparing to the target table.
Pseudo SQL looks like:
create table new_table
parallel 4 nologging
as
select case
when target_table_join_columns is null
then new_line
when source_table_join_columns is null
then original_line
when both are not null
then updated_line
from target_table t full outer join source_table s
on ... join columns;
(It's just a sample.)
The advantages I can see is:
1. Far less redo.
2. Parallel
The disadvantages I can see is:
1. More spaces
2. Full load not incremental.
I know I have to benchmark it and consider about all cases. But has anybody encountered the similar issues before? And whether you get benefits from this kind of change?
Best regards,
Leon

Hi,
you have to set the correct permissions on the HFMAnswers Folder.
But it depends a bit on your exact requirement....users must be able to save reports under the shared folder or only my folders?
What you need a least are some groups to make distinction between who can see which reports and who can use which functionality within oracle bi.
Do you have that clear? This way you can try to setup a generic security framework.

Multitouch Trackpad issues in Chrome and Firefox

In both Chrome and Firefox, when I do the 3-finger swipe from right to left to go back a page, the window hides instead.
The 3-finger swipe works the way it is supposed to in other programs including safari.
The trackpad also functions as normal in a fresh user account.
which files do I need to remove in order to fix this issue since it is related to my account?

As boydbme pointed out the 3-finger left swipe works in both Chrome and Firefox in a fresh new user account. So the problem lies somewhere in the touch pad settings for his (and my) user account. And the problem is not associated to one specific application - it's all non-Apple applications.
And the weird thing is that it hides the window(s) (not just minimize - it's completely gone) and it changes focus to last active application. Even minimized windows of the application disappears from the dock. But when you click on the application in the dock the windows and minimized windows reappear.
So I will just quote boydbme:
"Which files do I need to remove in order to fix this issue since it is related to my account?"

I just changed over from Safari, and Firefox is incredibly slow! Are there ways to fix this?

It's taking 30 to 60 seconds for Firefox to open any page. I just changed over from Safari, and this is about 10 times slower than Safari. Are there ways to speed up opening pages? I can't keep Firefox as my browser if it continues to be this slow. I have a Mac Mini, with Mac OS X as my operating system.

You can try to disable IPv6.

Rendering issue in Safari and Firefox OSX

Hello everyone,
http://qa.ocean-florida.co.uk/villas/BlankVillaPageNew.htm
I have a small issue with this page not rendering properly in Safari and Firefox on my Mac.
The top-right image of the group of four is missing and i cant quite figure out why.
Any tips/advice gratefully recieved.
Thank you!
Damien

The rogue bracket may only be part of the problem. What's this below - 0px; top: 2px; ???? Seems as though you declared the position further up the css cascade top: 8px; left: 0px; ?????
#box-link2 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 83px;
    height: 83px;
    background-color: transparent;
    0px; top: 2px; width: 282px; height: 243px;
and on box 3 -2px; top: 38px; ??????
#box-link3 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 83px;
    height: 83px;
    background-color: transparent;
    -2px; top: 38px; width: 280px; height: 240px;

Still having issues with font and font size since microsoft update..

still looking for help, only affects Firefox and Chrome does not affect explorer. I tried removing the update one answer on another thread suggested but it just came right back after re start..this is affecting some pages worse than others but yahoo email is really bad...as is yahoo finance..seems to be worse on Firefox than Chrome..text looks fuzzy or like another person said like it is bleeding..everything is off including size and zooming...I have Vista service pack 2, which according to a bulletin is one of the ones affected

HTML table display issues in Safari and Firefox

Hey,
A few days ago, in both firefox and safari, i noticed that whenever i go to certain sites with (i'm assuming) what are HTML tables, they aren't displaying properly. The tables are going way bigger than they should.
ex. When i go to craigslist.org and click on any link, each item on the page has way more space between lines than it should. To see what i mean check out these screen capture.
http://www.killtheteleprompter.com/picture1.png
http://www.killtheteleprompter.com/picture2.png
Also, perhaps a related issue, in Firefox, the page scrolling isn't smooth anymore when i use my trackpad.
I tried trashing the preferences for each browser in my library, to no avail. Any help would be awesome. thanks

hey thanks. The links in the orgininal post are fixed. To view the difference, look at the captures, then type in the url that appears in the captures to see what it should look like.

Rendering issue with Netbeans and Firefox

Very new at using JSF, in fact I am using it from Nebeans 6.1. Once I create the pages using the visual designer, in IE, for the most part they look as they were designed, however when I view them in Firefox, listbox seems to be the original size and spacing between components is larger than IE. Not sure how to fix this, any help appreciated.
Edited by: robucf3 on Jun 4, 2008 8:35 AM

I have read up on the two subjects and I have looked at the generated code, in fact I had to tweak some of it to get the CSS to work. In any case, is there anything specific for me to look at, some attribute that maybe needs setting, etc?
Found this:
# Issue #95022: Resizing of textfield and other components does not work.
Description: Due to a change in Woodstock components, resize handles have been removed from the following Woodstock components: TextField, TextArea,PasswordField, DropDown and ListBox. This issue impacts especially projects imported from Java Studio Creator and NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5/5.5.1. Resized components may look different from how they looked in previous releases.
Workaround: For TextField and TextArea components, use the columns and rows attributes, respectively. DropDown and ListBox components are automatically resized to the size of the longest item by the browser.

I just upgraded to 4.0 and Firefox would not open

I then uninstalled and reinstalled--same result; now have downloaded 3.6.17 again and I'm up and running again.
Symptoms were: tried to launch program and it went into never-never land. Left for coffee and when I came back it was still not open (approx 10 min). Checked CPU usage which was pegged at 100% for Firefox.exe Nothing else was running. No window, no Firefox minimized bug on the bottom of the page, a big nada.
Too bad, Mozilla. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
I don't need an answer. Just wanted to make a note. Hopefully something will be posted when the problem is fixed; otherwise I just won't upgrade.

Ok so maybe I am a little slower than most- but the solution is actually on the page referenced in the first reply- the key is, when the customize window is open, that is when you can click and drag the home button to the left side of the screen! You can't move it without the customize window being open, nor is the home button in the customize window.

Display issue: IE 7 and Firefox

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so let me
know if anyone knows of a more appropriate area of this adobe site
to do so.
I have a CS3, Spry navigation mneu on a web site. It exands
in width to accomodate the text of each menu item.
The content of the site is contained in a div wrapper, I've
sized the wrapper, and a header graphic, to fit the size of the
navigation menu.
It displays as planned in IE 7, but in Firefox it comes up
short, not quite reaching to the right side of the div wrapper.
Anyone have an experience like this or have ideas how to fix
it?
The site is at:
http://faculty.fortlewis.edu/Schmiedel_T/library/index.htm
I can include any code that is required, HTML or CSS but was
not sure what would be needed.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info. I looked in CS3 and see the "expanded
box problem" under the issues warning. So I think I have to set the
box sizes to a fixed standard. Will get to it. Thanks.

Another question about processors and cores.

I did a search and review, but I'm not clear about one thing. There was one thread where it was mentioned that more cores would allow for more video streams to play in real time on the timeline. I need to get at least two HD video streams with alpha, one audio stream, a background still, and a foreground text overlay to all run at once. Can an iMac with just the i3 or i5 dual processors do that, or do I need to step up to the quad core iMac or the MacPro?

Shane Ross wrote:
I can get by with just one HD stream and one audio stream. So for that, will any of the processors in an iMac do?
HD stream. WHAT FORMAT of HD? DVCPRO HD...HDV...PRORES...yes. UNCOMPRESSED HD...no. And again, the amount of streams isn't related to processors...it is related to HARD DRIVE speed.
For the intermediate video with alpha, what is the best HD format to use that has no compression?
NO compression? Well, the only NO COMPRESSION alpha codecs there are is ANIMATION...and that isn't playable. ProRes 4444 is the one with the Alpha built in. It is compressed, but pretty darn lossless.
Point is, you need a good 4-5 drive eSATA RAID...or better.
Shane
I start with an image sequence out of Lightwave 3D. I currently use PNG images with alpha. Those are then rendered into video clips - one talking, one not. I use those clips over and over again in a single layer on the timeline and match them to the audio. That intermediate project is then rendered out with alpha and used in the final project.
That's why I need an uncompressed/lossless format, because I'm building up the project with a couple of prior renders. Sounds like ProRes 4444 would work unless there is a no-compression format.
How could I use an eSATA when none of the Macs have an eSATA connection?

Issues with TOR and Firefox

Hello,
I am attempting to use a combination of Vidalia and the Torbutton Firefox extension to access the Tor network. However, every time I do, Firefox refuses to load any pages, stating that it is connected to a proxy that is refusing connections. My operating system is Ubuntu 10.04. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I use Tor/Vidalia/Torbutton/Polipio regularly. When I get this message, it is because I am trying to browse normally with the Torbutton enabled (green, Tor is "on") -
Or, I am trying to browse using Tor, it's turned on but Vidalia is not running in the background. If you installed Vidalia so that it does not automatically start when you start Windows, you must manually launch it (I use Start>Program Files>Vidalia Bundle>Vidalia). Give it a few seconds to get connected and then Firefox should work with the TorButton enabled.
In case you do not know, Vidalia launches Tor, and will report if there are any problems with it.
The documentation, tips, FAQs, help, advice and general availability of any practical knowledge on how to use these features is extremely poor, for reasons I am currently being made aware of. Because of this, I am considering starting a Discussion Forum focused primarily on helping people make use of this anonymous browsing technology.
If anyone is interested in assisting with this effort, or has helpful advice, etc... feel free to e-mail me at quickdxtjohnatgmaildxtcom

Ask another question about JIN and C/C++

Using JNI on Solaris, is there any differences to build a shared library compiled from C code or C++ code?

Huh?
If you create a C/C++ file and use jni.h and use the method signatures from javah then either file will work. Depending on various factors, like the file extension, then you might have to specify different command line options to get the file to build.
A C++ file could have templates would add additional problematic concerns.
If you are talking about a C/C++ object files/shared libraries in general then there are conceptual differences (like mangled names) but no actual differences (mangled name is a legitimate C ident.)

An issue about queues and context

Hi all
I have a value form one queue with some context and I want to add the same context to another queue
I have this starting point in the first queuecwith context after each number
30
30
10
10
20
20
10
10
10
10
90
90
10
10
And in the other queue
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
100
600
100
100
100
100
100
100
The color indicate the context change.
I want to give the same context of the first queue to the second queue because I am mapping one to one field into the target node.
The second queue is longer than the first one but that is ok as long as I can get the first value to right context of the first queue
Thanks

HI again
Do I have to use the format by key insted of changing the context.
I have tried but I am getting this error
formatByExample: Queues do not have the same number of values] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib7.NodeFunctions method
It is quit a copmlex mapping , I do not think I can use format by key.
any idea how to change the context
Thanks

Just got a new monitor, and Firefox says I need to upgrade my graphics card?

When I open Firefox, my screen goes black, then when it comes up, it has a canvas texture. I can't see the pictures clearly, even my desktop looks like a painter's canvas (texture). The troubleshooter said I needed to upgrade my graphics card, however Windows XP wouldn't let me upgrade the card.
