Letter spacing by percent like in CSS?

Can Flash do letter spacing in percentages, like CSS, so the
relationship between type and space remains consistent through all
sizes? "It's not the notes, it's the spacing between the notes that
make the music." -- Massimo Vignelli
Much obliged,
Kyrre

Again. Still not sure why you really feel the need to
resurect old posts. But this is still a user to user forum no Adobe
employess here. It would be awful if Adobe came in here and told
everybody who had a half baked idea for what Flash should be. If
you want to suggest things to the developers:

Letter-spacing will not decrease on Edge Animate

I need to add a line of code since it will not decrease the letter spacing to -20px. It only increases on Edge Animate. I was told to add this line of code below -
sym.$("Text2").css("letter-spacing", "-20px");
but couldnt find CompositionReady of the Stage actions. There are files like filename.html, filename_edge.js, and filename_edgeActions.js
Which file above should I add a line of code to?

Sorry I should also have mentioned that you cannot reduce the size of the spacing to less than the minimum it has. 0 is the minimum spacing. Maybe kerning would be acceptable.
You can test that here:
Tryit Editor v2.0
Just use different number and see if it makes a difference.
You will also notice that edge does not allow negative spacing in the text tool which confirms what I mentioned above.

Letter spacing problem

I am not able to change letter spacing in Reflow. I select the text, but I am not able to change from "Normal" to either "px" or "em". The scrubber control does not do anything.
What am I missing?

subpixel changes are not always honored across browsers. Even switching to EMs may not give you desired results. You can read a bit more here:

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Letter Spacing Issue

Hello,
I am currently running Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 on my Macbook Pro. We use it on a daily basis to keep our corporate website up-to-date. During the past few weeks, we have developed a very odd issue in the DW code editing pane. The letter spacing is completely off, which is odd considering that the font is monospaced. A large space will appear between characters even though no space is actually there. I have included a screenshot below of some new code I recently entered. Notice the space between the form names and the apostrophes. It appears as though there is one space between the name and the apostrophe, however there is none. The code still works fine, but this becomes very frustrating when attempting to enter new code.
I should also mention that none of my code developed prior to approximately two weeks ago has been effected. Only when I attempt to enter new code is the spacing effected.
Is this a known issue? Any ideas of what could be going on?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jon

Oh, you're welcome!
I know, so many of these things you don't find with a cursory review of menu-items and preferences. Then when you need them, you might not have noticed them first time through.
That's one reason I like the Forums: you learn things you didn't know you needed to know...
I've noticed that system fonts change from system to system, and sometimes you "lose" a font when you go to a new computer.
Best,

Letter spacing wrong when generting pdf in web service

I have a turnkey JBoss Installation on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.
When I create a pdf document out of an doc (Office 2003 SP3) or docx (Word 2007 SP2)
with the web services I get wrong letter spacing. If I simply create a pdf out of Microsoft Word with the
installed Adobe Add-On on the same server the spacing is correct.
There is no error or warning in all the log files.
I tried already all kind of settings in the font settings, but no success.
You can see the differences in the attachment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Answer: I tested a lot by myself and finally it worked. I am still not 100% sure why, but I think it is the following:
When you have configured the turnkey installation, everything is up and running afterwards. But then you have these strange letter spacings.
When you restart the jboss service (Windows) then it is correct afterwards.

> Yeah, Motter Corpus is pretty distinctive. If you got a font substitution you'd know.
But would you know if the font was not embedded (other than by looking at the file properties) when viewing on a system where it is installed?
It looks to me as if the spacing issue is confined to the headings. Is that right? Have you previewed the page with custom tracking and kerning highlighted in ID (you'll find those settings in the preferences under Composition)? On screen shot the spacing looks very even so that's what I'd check first.
What does the ID file look like for those same pages?

Strange letter spacing from AppleWorks

I am getting strange letter spacing with some fonts from AppleWorks. There is more space between some letters than others—some letters are almost touching each other, while there is a gap between others, creating an ugly appearance. I printed out the same text in the same font from TextEdit and it looked beautiful. The problem is not confined to just one font or document. I thought I had the latest version of AppleWorks,which is 6.2.4. I have a Brother HL-5250DN laser printer.

AppleWorks 6 is really an OS 9 application carbonized (quickly) to run in OS X & it has never been coded to take advantage of most of the "bells & whistles" of OS X, such as font display. TextEdit is a cocoa application - OS X only. The problem you're seeing may be fixed by turning Fractional Character Widths in Preferences > General… > Topic: Text on (or off if it's on). Some users like the system hack, Silk. You can find it with a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
The last version of AppleWorks is 6.2.9, released in January, 2004. Here at the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The first has a link to the North American updater in the upper right & links to other languages further down.

Why is letter spacing different in FF (and IE) comparing to Chrome?

I'm developing http://idesigns.dk and the menu looks totally different in FF comparing to Chrome. I have found out that it's because of the lower letter spacing in FF. How can I make the letter spacing "normal" like in chrome?

I will mark your above post as the solution as you indicate that you were able to fix it.

AS3, htmlText, bold b throwing of letter spacing. letters crashing into each other.

I have an htmlText field that holds a few paragraphs of text that is pulled from an xml file. There are <b> bold tags within the xml node.
When a section of bold text is in the middle of normal text, the normal text will crash into the beginning & end of the bold text, see pic:
I'm assuming that the bold text and the regular text have different letter spacing so I removed the ".letterSpacing = .2;" from the font declaration in order to let the text render at it's normal letter spacing. That helped a little in making the crashing a little less but it hasn't cleared it up completely. Also, depending on the font size, the letter crashing acts differently.
Is there a way to better control the letter spacing of bold text next to normal text in a dynamic text field?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Zak

I'm going to try using CSS with my dynamic textfield to see if this solves the letter spacing issue. Has anyone used CSS in dyanmic text field to better control the spacing between bolded & normal text?

Kerning / letter-spacing in Edge

Perhaps I'm missing it ( i hope), but I cant seem to find a way to reduse the space between letters in Edge. The Edge UI onlly seems to allow increasing space.
Or, alternatively, how would I represent this CSS rule using the Edge GUI:
.bigFancyHeadline { letter-spacing: -2px; }
thanks!
Ethan

Hi there,
You would add this code into the compositionReady of the Stage actions:
sym.$("bigFancyHeadline").css("letter-spacing", "-2px");
Just make sure you give your text area a <div> ID in the Properties panel:
I hope this helps!

Change Letter spacing in password field.

Hi guys, I want to increase letter spacing between each char input in password field so it can look like " * * * * " instead of "****". Any ideas really appriciate help

An alternative would be to extend the current password field and only identify the display functions as the ones you need to change. This could be difficult though without knowing exactly which displays have to be changed.

Small, niggling irritation - irregular letter-spacing on screen

I've now taken the time to check and compare, thanks to mif, and am certain that the two FrameMakers resident on my PC behave just that little bit differently:
in 8.0p277, with Adobe PostScript* as the default printer, letter-spacing is fine
in 9.0p237, again with Adobe PostScript* as the default printer, letter-spacing is just that bit off here and there
I vaguely remember talk of something like "printer metrics", but from long enough ago for me to remember nothing useful. If someone can tell me what to tweak to get 9.0 displaying documents as comfortably as 8.0 did, I'll be grateful! Thanks in advance.

* AdobePS Adobe PDF on LPT1:

I prefer the On setting, myself. If I understand it correctly, setting
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=Off makes the type look clearer at lower zoom
levels by making the characters best fit the actual pixels on your screen.
The downside is that the line lengths are no longer correct. I've actually
seen it make type extend beyond the text frame. It prints okay, but looks
very freaky on screen. I seem to recall that it sometimes gave me fits
trying to line up text and graphics, too, because the type does not fall
where it will print.
Setting DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On makes the line lengths on screen
accurate. It does this by fudging the intercharacter distances a bit. This
is only visible at low zoom settings. If you zoom to, say, 200%,
intercharacter distances are accurate, too, because there are enough pixels
to divide things up nicely.
So, the setting lets you choose between the clearest characters, or the
clearest layout.

Letter-Spacing is different if I open my file at another Mac of us (Value is at both mac 0, but the text is longor), and if I cklick into the text-box, Illustrator says that the file was made in an other Version of Illustrator. We have on all macs the same system, os 10.8.3, cs6 and UTC4. And of course we`re using exactly the same font....

How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

King Penguin,
Your response does not address the actual question.
The issue is that once downloaded to a device (iPhone) etc. It cannot be deleted via any means. Went through troubleshooting with Apple on phone last night and they're puzzled by it... it's getting sent to their engineers.
The larger issue is that the album downloads AUTOMATICALLY when you have your purchases synced, on wifi, and listening to music on full shuffle.
Telling people to just "hide it" and change your phone's settings to not sync is a pretty big "whoopsie" by Apple and Apple Support Community members.
BAD MOVE APPLE!
