MBA text pixelation issue with projector
I tried a high-end Optima projector with my MBA and found the output to be very pixelated. I tried it with a MacBook Pro and it looked perfect. I made sure the resolutions and other settings were the same on both laptops. In my MBA under preferences/appearance, I selected the different font smoothing styles, but that didn't help. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks!
High density displays are gaining in popularity. But so far, only a few people use them.
If image quality on your web site matters to you, consider using SVG for your vector graphics.
How to Convert Photoshop Text Into SVG [Quicktip]
Newest Photoshop supports simple SVG export from the Generator features (just add .svg extension to Photoshop CC vector layers.
For photos, consider serving 2X images to Hi-DPI users and 1X images to everyone else by using CSS, JavaScript or PHP script. Of course, this necessitates creating & hosting 2 sets of images. But it works.

Text display issues with htmlText, Embedded Font
Hey All,
I'm having an issue with the display of my hyperlinks in a
textfield that is using embedded fonts. It offsets the hyperlinks
to the left along the line they are on and the underline doesn't
stretch all the way under the text field. The text display normally
when I don't embed the font. For some reason I think this might
have to do with the embedded character range so I opened it up.
Does anyone know if this range is enough or if there are special
characters flash uses that need to be embedded for their width even
though they arn't displayed.
Embedded range:
[Embed(source='MyriadPro-Regular.otf', fontName='Myriad Pro',
unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00fe')]
Here's a link to the related code:

Mx.controls.Text zoom issue with wrapped text. Is this a bug?
We have created a diagram drawing tool in Flex, but we are having a serious issue with zooming. Everything zoom fine expect the Text control if it contains wrapped text. At certain zoom levels, some of the text seems to disappear (usually text at the end). I have tried everything, embedding fonts, turning anti-aliasing on and off, setting anti-aliasing to normal or advanced, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Is this is a known bug?
If you check out the pictures (see attachments), you will see that the part of the text ('34') disappears at a certain zoom level.
There is another blog who suggest to embed the font and set the antiAliasType to ‘animation’ (http://www.mehtanirav.com/2008/08/20/zooming-text-area-in-flex-messes-up-word-wrap-bug%20), but this doesn't seem to work for me either. I don't know if I am doing this correctly though, but I embedded a font and called text.setStyle("fontAntiAliasType","animation"). However, 'animation' is not one of the AntiAliasType contants. According to the official documentation, the AntiAliasType constants are 'advanced' or 'normal'.
Any help will be appreciated.Try this:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
class textpaneColor extends JFrame {
JTextPane tp = new JTextPane();
JButton button = new JButton("color");
public static void main(String args[]) {
textpaneColor obj = new textpaneColor();
obj.showMe();
void showMe() {
button.addActionListener(new buttonListener());
setSize(200,200);
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
getContentPane().add(tp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
setVisible(true);
class buttonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
SimpleAttributeSet set=new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(set,Color.BLUE);
StyledDocument doc=tp.getStyledDocument();
doc.setParagraphAttributes(0,999999,set,true);

Getting pixelation and sound dropping through ALL of certain shows.
I have read through the forums: I've checked my wiring, I have tried playing with the AC on and off... everything I have seen here, but there is a catch witch proves (I believe) that it is not my hardware.
For instance, I felt like watching Game of Thrones today...
Season 4 Ep 1 - Could not watch due to pixelation and sound dropping through ENTIRE episode
Ep 2 - Watched it just fine
Ep 3 - BAD
4 - GOOD
5 - BAD
6 - GOOD
7 - BAD
8 - GOOD
9 - BAD
10 - BAD
The "Good" ones are flawless, no problems, absolutely what I pay for...
The "Bad" ones are unwatchable in any way.
I am seeing this intermittant GOOD and BAD quality On Demand often lately.
What's going on and please do not tell me to reconnect my equipment (which I have done just in case) The above problems do not describe an issue with my hardware.
I have so few reasons to ever complain about my service, I love you guys!! But this is way more than irritating for the amount of money I pay each month.I have been experiencing this on all VOD TV shows and movies since installing Quantum VMS and clients. VZ tech came out to check signal (excellent) and said it is a known problem for 3 weeks now. VZ customer service personnel just refuse to admit it. I am in Virginia Beach.

OK, so this issue is now the bane of my existence. I have a logo that I created in Illustrator CS5 that I use on my website but also on Facebook. Here is a link to my logo on my domain:
http://www.tortacouture.co.uk/logo.jpg
This looks fine and exactly how I want it to appear. However here is the exact same logo (multiple times) in my facebook album.
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.235689163125829.73019.235686989792713
This might be easier to see on a laptop where you can tilt the screen but notice the pixelation around the letters and at the edge of the circle. When I remove the letters the orange in the centre has no pixelation but it is still around the edges. I uploaded the same logo but in green and the pixelation is still there however it's hardly noticable. I need to have this logo in the orange/red colour and even when I use web safe colours the issue still persists.
I have tried the following things which have not helped:
saved as .png, .tiff, .gif, .jpg
saved for web
exported
exported to photoshop
web safe colours
align to pixel grid
removed anti-aliasing
resizing
This is driving me mad - so any help is hugely appreciated.
ThanksI took the larger jpeg you had and saved that for the web and got this
which looks pretty good you shoud be able to do better with your save for the web.
I know the problem, in the Save for the Web and Device you should select either Art Optimise or Text Optimize
right now you probably have none selected. -
Anybody have this TEXT TOOL ISSUE with CS5???
i'm on a pc that meets all system requirements for cs5 photoshop and notice that whenever i use the text tool and try to increase/decrease the size, leading or anything, i can not see my results in real time, i have to manually CLICK outside of the text area or in the gray area of the document for photoshop to actually make the change, almost like when you use the transform tool and resize things but have to *commit* the changes, so imagine if you were doing that only you couldnt actually see what size you were resizing your object to.
someone else in the office seems to be having this exact same issue as well. it's like closing your eyes to do your work and then opening them back up once you *think* you have the right font size or leading.
any help would be much appreciated!!!!!If it's a "Mobility" card then chances are it's in a laptop, and many laptop manufacturers are required to be the source for driver updates. You might have
to check with the computer maker.
If there's not a driver update for it, it's possible you could try downgrading the driver to an older version if one can be found.
What operating system are you running (XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64 bit)?
I see they have a new release for your card for Vista and Windows 7 32 bit, for example, here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx

Text Highlighting issue with TextSnapshot object
Hi,
I am working with a digital book application. I make use of swf loader to load swf pages created from pdf. I use TextSnapsot to draw inline text highlight on the pages. The highlight is thoroughly retained on the respective pages throughout the session and later it can be updated/deleted without any problem. Everything was working great till I made the following changes in the swf loading approach to enable page caching:
I am now loading swf loader object into application memory and while doing jumping from one page to other page I am just copying the content of the next page to the current swf loader which is on the display to the user. There are two sets of swf loaders - one for displaying the page and other to cache the next/previous page(s). On the caching side, I load the swf into application memory and after getting it loaded I pick all the contents of the loaded swf page (the children of it's movie clip) into an array collection. While changing the page I copy the cached content into the swf loader's movie clip which is displaying the page.
Now when I highlight on the page on display and navigate back/forth from the page and comeback again to the page where I did the highlighting: It shows the highlight I did. But as soon as I try to draw another highlight on that page, the previous highlight is instantly disappears from the page.
I suspect that the Textsnapshot object which draws highlight while navigating (to the target display page) is different from the one which redraws/update the highlight on the same page next time. Although the Textsnapshot object id for both the objects is same.
Here are some code snippet:
For copying the content from the swf loader object cached in application memory:
private function copyPageContent():void
var contentCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
_pageContentVO = new PageContentVO();
_pageContentVO.contentHeight = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).height;
_pageContentVO.contentWidth = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).width;
var count:int = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).numChildren;
for(var i:int=0;i<count;i++)
var dispObject:DisplayObject = MovieClip(_swfPageLoader.content).removeChildAt(0);
contentCollection.addItem(dispObject);
_pageContentVO.pageContentCollection = contentCollection;
_swfPageLoader = null;
For copying the content to the swf loader which is displaying the page:
private function copyContent(pageContentVo:PageContentVO):void
for(var i:int = 0;i<pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.length;i++)
var dispObject:DisplayObject = pageContentVo.pageContentCollection.getItemAt(i) as DisplayObject;
MovieClip(this.content).addChild(dispObject);
this.content.height = this.height;
this.content.width = this.width;
after this I dispatch swf loader's complete manually and in the handler of that event I take the text snap shot object.(highlightManager.as)
Code I use to draw highlight manually(using mouse drag on the page).
public function setHighlight():void
removeAll();
if(_textSnapShot!=null && _textSnapShot.getText(0,_textSnapShot.charCount)!="")
if(_isCoveredTextSelectedAtAnyInstance)
_textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,false); //this is the global variable to the class
else
_textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
_textSnapShot.setSelected(_beginIndex,_endIndex+1,true);
if(saveHighlight)
countHighlightedSegments();
Code I use to redraw previously drawn highlight when I return to the page:
public function showHighlights(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,currentPageNum:int):void
if(currentPageNum >= 0)
textSnapShot.setSelected(0,textSnapShot.charCount,false);
var pageVO:PageVO = _model.eBookVO.eBookPagesVO.getItemAt(currentPageNum) as PageVO;
var objColl:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
objColl.source = pageVO.highLightSelection;
for(var i:int=0;i<objColl.length;i++)
var highlightVO:HighlightVO = new HighlightVO();
highlightVO.beginIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).beginIndex;
highlightVO.endIndex = objColl.getItemAt(i).endIndex;
setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot,highlightVO.beginIndex,highlightVO.endIndex);
private function setHighlightedSegment(textSnapShot:TextSnapshot,beginIndex:int,endIndex:int):void
textSnapShot.setSelectColor(0xfff100);
textSnapShot.setSelected(beginIndex,endIndex,true);
Looking forward to your support to resolve this issue.
Regards,
JSHi, I've resolved this issue.
It was a textSnapShot GC issue.
I just added the textsnapshot object into an array to avoid GC and that resolved my issue. -
Text Box issues with a poster template
This sounds stupid and all but, I am trying to type lowercase in a text box in one of the poster templates and it will only type caps. I cannot seem to find anything to clikc or unclick. It seems like this shouldn't be so difficult.
Hi there,
I too am having problems with the text box. I have a line at the beginning of each sentence, I can't seem to get rid of. Now this problem does not exist on the first page, but any other pages I try to edit the text on I get this line. I've looked everywhere, but can't seem to find the solution. Any help out ther? Or if you need further clarification to the issue, just let me know!

I've had my iPod video for less than 90 days. I purchased it through a local Best Buy retail store. Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that there is a discolored pixel on my screen. It shows up primarily when the screen is black (i.e: when loading videos, playing games, etc.) The pixel is red consistently and does not change color with the rest of the screen.
I know this seems like a trivial issue. However, having the iPod for less than 90 days, something like this really shouldn't have occurred in the first place. The iPod is not damaged in any way. It works perfectly fine, otherwise.
I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem with their iPod video or if anybody has any recommendation as to what I should do about it.
Thanks. :]I've been to that page multiple times. But, I'm always unclear of what's going to happen to my iPod in the repair process once I send it off (i.e: all my mp3's being deleted, my whole iPod being reset, etc.).
I've read the legalities and it seems like there's so many strings attached. That's why I was wondering if there's anything that I can do myself to fix it so that I don't have to send it off or if I could just take it to an Apple Store.
Any other suggestions? -
Full text Search Issue with Boolean AND Search in 2012 server
We are trying to use CONTAINSTABLE function with BOOLEAN AND search, but unable to get expected results in sql server 2012.
If use BOOLEAN OR search we get expected results.
Full text indexed table is having more than 10 millions of records. we checked index fragmentation level is 82%. then we done Rebuild. Even after rebuild, unable to fetch expected results with AND SEARCH.
The below query is used
SELECT ft.* FROM FT_ROWS ft
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(FT_ROWS, summary,
' "manifest" AND "version" ') AS key_tbl
ON ft.log_id = key_tbl.[key]
if we remove ( "manifest" AND ) from the search string, then getting some results but AND search is not returning expected results.
Please help any suggestion
kkprasadThe explanation that is closest at hand is that you have no documents with both of these words in them.
An alternate explanation is that you have accidently entered "manitest" into your stoplist.

Full text search issues with whlang.js file coding
I'm wondering if anyone else is encountering an issue where a
javascript error is preventing the search feature in webhelp output
from working. The output and search was working fine a couple of
weeks ago, but just recently stopped working.
I get the following error from every browser I try the help
in:
Line: 265
Char: 18
Error: Unterminated string constant
Code: 0
URL: <path>\WebHelp\whfbody.htm
There's nothing wrong with this file, but looking through the
.js files it calls, I discovered that the whlang.js file has a
couple of errors. The first is that the terminating (I think?)
charcters "; are on a separate line than the string constant:
gaFtsStop[60] = "over
The second error is item 63 in this section has an unknown
character in it instead of an "o" such that the browser is reading
it as gaFts
Stp instead of gaFts
Stop.
When I fixed these errors, the search functionality works
fine. The problem is, I don't know
why RoboHelp is producing this file with all of these errors
in it, and why it's doing it now when it used to work just fine. I
can't find anything on the web or in RoboHelp's help about this, so
I'm wondering if anyone else has a) come across it b) fixed it, and
c) got RoboHelp to stop writing a broken file.
Help, anyone?I agree with Peter.
However, I did see the split line problem once or twice, and
I never stored projects on a network drive, and always generate to
the local hard drive. I'd think generating across the network would
be as safe for WebHelp as publishing. On the other hand, we've
heard about problems trying to generate print doc across a network.
Can't recall the file names with split lines, but I think it
was one of the search database files beginning with whft......
I did move some projects from one PC to another via the
network, but can't say whether this caused the change. From time to
time I read advice saying it's best to zip up the entire project
directory before sending it across the network, and unzip it at the
destination. Maybe this has something to do with the split lines,
but I don't know enough to explain why it might be so.

Strange Vertical lines and pixelation issues with my Powerbook screen...Hel
I have got a problem with mt LCD screen which now permanently displays lines of "dead" pixels, but they can't be dead because they chaneg all the time. If I move a window, I get lots more, which are created by the edge of the window, like a ghosting? Does that make sense?
I have taken a screen grab, but not sure how to feature it in these forums. Anyone got any ideas or know about this problem?
I have had a similar problem with this and other laptops, but it has always been a temporary thing before, when I had overloaded the system or something, and I got 'ghosting' from the trailing edge of a window, but this is permanently there?I have now attached a monitor to the PB, and it happens on the monitor too...maybe suggesting something wrong with the graphics card or logic board, rather than the screen itself. When I type this message, I get strange red 'ghosting' lines where the cursor moves across the page.It reminds me of the 'Etch-o-sketch' game, where you draw lines, and then wipe them off. I can move a window from left to right and get these ghosting lines. When I move the window back right to left, they erase the lines to the left of the window, but I get more to the trailing right edge of the window...i.e. on the right of the screen.
Scrolling also removes these pixels, but creates new ones elsewhere.
Any ideas? -

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?
All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Hi
I would be most grateful for help with the following - I recently purchased a 2013 MBA (latest model) but have been having issues with the wifi speed. My broadband normally runs at 6-7Mbps (which I check regulary) but my MBA can only be described as slow when browsing simple web pages (the other pc's in the house don't have the same issues). I have checked the transfer rate on my WIFI in Network Utility and it sits at 144 Mbit/s so I am not entirly sure where the problems lies and why it is only affecting my MBA. I have tried switching channels but it has not helped. I am aware that recent MBA have issues with WIFI but not sure if these problems are related.
Thanks
