New to apple, question about font sizes on show bookmarks pages

Former windows user, trying to get used to this beautiful new imac! When I am on the safari page, in the show all bookmarks page, the font is so small, and buttons to increase the size are disabled on the page! I know there must be a way to make the print bigger but how?
Thanks to all.. I think I'm learning more from reading these forums than with all the help pages.

Very sound advice (as always) Barry.
I (very briefly) considered offering the Terminal/Defaults route, but thought that Safari Enhancer was the lesser of two evils. Safari Enh does not need to be kept running after changes (like the bookmark font size) are made. & I believe most of it's functions within Safari are made by simply altering the plist file - so getting back a default configuration is very simple.... just reset safari.
keveliz : Barry's is good advice. I wouldn't put safari enhancer in the " ...here be dragons" or 'addicted to haxies' class myself... because it's just a program that you run & close afterwards - it doesn't carry on, (possibly) brewing trouble in the background.
I haven't been using Apples even a year now - but pc's & 6502 / 6800 & onwards micros since err, 1980..... & fwiw I personally think safari-enh is much safer than most 3rd party fixers ( which isn't saying much! - so Yep, I'd recommend it based on my usage )- there's good support, a useful discussions forum; although previous versions ( presumably sorted now?) could be annoying due to setting non-std options that you hadn't specifically checked - a problem if you're just starting & you wouldn't know what was a default setting & what wasn't.
None of which is intended to disagree with Barry's note of caution - be careful out there.

New to Apple, questions about using Windows, and other things

Hello all,
Today is my first day as an Apple owner. It's funny because I'm also a MCSE, MCSA, and MCP.
I purchased a 24" iMac, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, and 1TB Hard Drive.
I want to use Windows on my Mac so that I don't have to keep switching over to my PC. My main reason for using Windows is so that I can continue to enjoy my PC Games... mostly racing and D&D games.
So my question is... how does Windows run on bootcamp? Can I still use all of my USB controllers (like my steering wheels, joysticks, etc?)
I really havent even turned on my iMac... been too amazed at just looking at it for the first day (and also rearranging my home office).
I really just want to know from those of you who have PCs AND Macs, if you still find yourself having to go back to your PC because of incompatibilities or performance issues on the iMac?

Using BootCamp, your Windows experience is no different than if running it on a similarly configured PC. If you went with a VM running under Mac OS X (like VMWare or Parallels), there are a number of differences. However, using BootCamp you have a Mac-branded PC.
I'd point out that people have been dual-booting operating systems in this fashion for decades. Windows has no obvious in-built support for doing so, but other operating systems (like Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) have always very clearly and explicitly supported dual-booting (on Macs and regular PCs) from the get go.

3 questions about texture sizes

Hi there all,
I have 3 questions about texture sizes. First off, after
doing a search in this forum, I found out how to find the maxium
texture size my hardware can handle. However, this is only
currently tells me what the texture size I should use for my
computer. So basically, what my first question is, I wanted to know
what would be the average texture size for PC's. Why I ask this is
because arfter doing the command that finds my maxium texture size
that my computer can handle, it says that I can handle up to
2048x2048, but this doesn't help if lets say the standard hardware
texture size is 1024x1024.
My second question is, when you speak in maxium hardware
texture size terms, is this for per object, per scene that is
loaded into memory, or for the entire game?
... and my last question is, does hardware texture size also
include basic shaders as well (meaning with no textures)? If not is
there a limit on that as well?

1. If you know what maximum texturesize the endusers
graficcard can handle, you can build a switch to different *.w3d
files with that are saved with different texturesizes. you can see
how the hardware variates:
http://nuttybar.drama.uga.edu/pipermail/dir3d-l/2005-September/009554.html
but don't forget that the macs are limited at the moment to a
maximum texturesize of 512x512. If the textures are bigger then the
maximum texturesize they are scaled down to it. In your example a
texture that is 2048x2048 would be scaled down to 1048x1048 if this
is the maximum texturesize of the endusers machine.
2. The maximum texturesize is per Texture. But the Textures
are stored uncompressed in the VRAM of the graficcard. There is no
way to check how much RAM is left and i am not sure what happens if
you put a lot of data in it.
3. A shader only layers textures like photoshop and renderes
them depending on the settings of the shader. The maximum hardware
texture size only limits the size of the texture, if you use no
textures in the shader (setting all texturelayers to void) the
model will be only rendered depending on the values that are given
by "ambient", "emissive", "diffuse", "specular"
Just want to add here that textures should be in this sizes:
1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256,
512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096 ...
but can be also be combined like this:
32x1024 or 512x256 and so on. this is just good to know.
If textures do not fit into this grid of pixel values, the
texture will be scaled up or down to the next size that is closest
to it.
if you type this code into the message window and execute
every line, you can check the resulting texturesize.
global pImage
pImage=image(100, 1000, 24)
member("world").newtexture("image", #fromimageobject, pImage)
put member("world").texture("image").width
-- 128
put member("world").texture("image").height
-- 1024
This will happen to all textures if they enter the
graficcard.

Font size in Google results page is suddenly enormous

I have an older PowerPC G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Safari 4.1.3.
Yesterday, without changing or adding nothing at all, font size in the Google results page suddenly became huge. It looks terrible. This does not affect the main Google page, or the tools column to the left, or any other web sites. Just the Google results column. But since I'm a heavy user, I don't want to be exposed to hugely oversize text several times an hour, day in and day out.
Google preferences are correctly set -font size in this particular page remains normal in my other, newer machines. My standard font size in Safari preferences is 10 pt, but the the Google results column displays in at least 13 pt.
I have searched high and low for an explanation or a fix, and come up empty-handed. Has anyone else seen this, or know of a way to control font size in the Google results page/column?

What you are describing seeing is what I am seeing with 4.1.3 Safari here.
(Resisting an urge to gaslight the issue here. )
You might remove all Google cookies and see if there are any Google plist files that may be causing the problem.
Gonna add my screen grab as well:

CBWFQ: Question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command.
The following is the output of this command and lower side of the output shows
(total queued/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/342/0
If the packets drop occur due to the situation of no enough buffer,
"no-buffer drops" counted up. But "no-buffer drops" has not been counted up.
The "no-buffer drops" is 0 (zero) but "total drops" are counted as 342.
I guess there are other factors except "no-buffer drops" to add "total drops".
But I can not find any information about "other factors".
So I would like to know the "other factors" added to "total drops".

Beginner question about the size of the documents and fonts

I have worked with dps a couple of years now and now that Adobe removes Single Edition I have to look at other tools. EPUB3 fixed layout appears to be an alternative solution.
I've been reading up on the web and checked on Lynda courses, but there is one thing I wonder about.
How should I think about the size of the InDesign document and the size of the body text when I create a EPUB3 with fixed-layout?
Regards
Ake

A couple things to keep in mind with EPUB3 Fixed Layout:
Unlike EPUB reflowable, FXL doesn't change size. You'll need to optimize your InDesign layout for the device most likely to view it—for example, an iPad, since it's the dominant device.
Like with DPS, you'll need to pick a font size larger than you'd use for print.
As with DPS, it's very important to do some tests on your target device to optimize both dimensions and font size.
Final Note: If you're in North America, this is a good time to buy an iPad since there are a lot of Black Friday sales coming up!

Orientation about font size

Hi:
This is my first post in this forum. I have this doubt. I start to create my first magazine, and I want to know what it's the right font size, or the most recomended size. When I add a text frame, I choose Arial at 10pt size. I have a 17'' laptop with 1366x768 and when I create a PDF I can read normally, but I wonder if this font size is the appropriated for a regular magazine. By the way I use InDesign CS5 and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bits.
Would you be good enough to suggest me a regular font size?
That's all.
Please, sorry about my grammar.
Regards from Lima, Perú

Hi Maria,
As Peter mentioned, font sizes (and fonts in general) are very relative. Having worked in publications and signage, myself, here are a few recommendations that I would have:
- 11pt is usually a good starting point for something like a magazine (12pt can seem slightly too big, and 10pt can get a bit small - depending on the font)
- Serif fonts are better for reading in a printed format (in general)
- Sans-serif are better for reading in a digital format (in general)
Fonts are really part of a much larger discussion (I've been a designer for 10 years and still learn something new about fonts almost every week). If you have any other questions or need more in-depth advice, just keep letting us know.

New style created when changing font size

Whenever I highlight some text and change the font size in
the property inspector, a new style gets created and the text in
the code gets surrounded by

It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
I will assume
that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
that, you
would create a rule like this -
#content p.special { font-size:16px; }
and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
question by selecting
it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
menu, and using
"Set class to -> special".
Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
the 'Style'
selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
would have to
select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
Ctrl-t). Apply the
'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
this -
#content span.special { font-size:16px; }

Question about the size af:inputText

can <af:inputText> grow itself automatically to avoid scrollbar?
if user types a long text into it, the inputtext area will become bigger to fit it to avoid scrollbar. is this possible?
another question is,i found the size of this input area are controlled by 'rows' and 'columns'.
can i make the inputtext area stretch to 100% width of the page?
i cannot use 'columns' to accomplish this, since the page resolution is different for users. it works on 1440x900,but fails on others.
thanks a lot

When you speak about project size, do you mean the size of the project file itself? Or of the entire project folder?
When you delete tracks or plugins from your project, you won't see anything in the trash, that is normal. Only when you delete an audio file from your disk +from within Logic+ you'll find that audio file in the trash.

Question about "Print Size"

I am confused and puzzled about "Print Size." First I select the Zoom Tool, then I click "Print Size" in the upper bar. I also have chosen View > Rulers.
What I don't understand is that one inch in the horizontal ruler actually is considerably longer than one inch on the vertical ruler. I think this is distorting the appearance on my photos in the monitor as compared with the actual prints. The monitor version of my portrait, for example, looks fatter than the printed version. Why is this and why isn't a horizontal inch equal to a verical inch for viewing purposes.
Thank you very much for any help on this.
Bob

Thank you very much. I changed my monitor to its native resolution and I think this solved the problem. Bob

Question about the size of my project

3.25 GB 20 or so tracks. a few plugins each a few software drums and synths. I getting overload warnings here and there. Not the I/O level the audio level. I look at the fear lilly Allen demo which has 50 tracks all sorts of plugins and a vid. 1.45 GB. I selected and deleted unused in audio bin and still the same. What am I missing. Logic Pro, IMAC 3.06 core 2 Duo 4 GB ram. Thanks Bill

Change font size in Sidebar Bookmark

I have a text file with all my logins/passwords that I have open in Firefox sidebar. The problem is they open in font size 12. I want it 8 or so. Is there a way to decrease font size or not?

Firefox has some global text size settings, but those aren't limited to just the one document you care about.
Instead, you might consider changing your text file to an HTML file. Save as HTML using a plain text editor and add this at the beginning and end.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="overflow:automatic">
<pre style="font-size:10px">
(Your text here)
</pre>
</body>
</html>
Does that work?
Also, there are many ways to manage your login information, if this approach becomes too cumbersome.

Problem with font size, not showing up as expected.

I've been wrestling with this for a few weeks now, but surely must be getting closer to having it resolved. It's just a problem with font size on just this one page.
http://www.kgngroup.net/logos_and_packaging.html
I want the body text to be 10px, but after two weeks, have played with every conceivable way, altering body font size in CSS and in the document itself. I've viewing it in Safari but others on Windows machines tell me that it is out of whack also.
My main problem is that I can change the font size to extremes but it still shows up as the same size in the browser (about 12px.) I know changes can be made because I can modify the wording and that does change online. It's just a problem with the font size. Oh, and in the third column, the one to the right, in Dreamweaver, the font looks like it is miniscule, cannot even be read, but in the browser, since the style11 is applied, all three columns look equal size.
Not sure where to go from here. I just want to get the body font down to 10 pixels.
TIA,
Ken

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3627681
What would really help you in diagnosing issues such as this is to install the Firebug add-in for Firefox (as suggested in the earlier thread).
Firebug shows you visually what CSS rules apply to whatever element you click on the screen.
In this case, you have a confusion of CSS font sizes cascading on top of each other and that's confused again by mixing units for no real reason. .style11 is unnecessarily applied to lots of individual tags. Remove those classes and delete the rule.
e.g.
The tiny font in the RHS column is affected first by
.style8 {
font-size: 0.5em;
affecting the <td> then by
.style11 {font-size: 75%}
affecting the tag.
End result = tiny text (approx 2px).
In these cases of mass confusion, my approach is to strip out all font sizing from the CSS and start over.
Avoid %. Use px.
Apply font sizing rules logically starting from the <body> tag downwards.
That'll give you a solid baseline without weird effects.
Ah, I find your answer worth repeating.
Very cool that you have diagnosed so well and spelled it out here.
I will get the Firefox add-on you mention, plus, print out this response and follow it like a recipe.
It makes perfect sense and you have saved me from the 'clutter' of being wound up in too many directions with this because I could not make all of the connections that you have done here. I appreciate your help very much.
Thank You,
Ken

How do I increase font size on the Home Page and E-Mail messages screens?

I just downloaded Firefox and made it my default browser as I am having so many problems with IE 9. I am old and gray-headed and not techy. I would like to view my home page (Yahoo.com) and my E-mail correspondence in at least a size 12 Font. I went through all the option lists I could find with font size and think I saved, but nothing has happened to help me increase the font. I replied to an e-mail and set the font size at 12 but it is still as tiny as this message.
I have tired, dry eyes. Can you help me, please?

It isn't an issue. It's been that way since they came out with the first notebook computer. If this was so critical to your decision then why did you not check it out at an Apple Store first? When you buy sight unseen, then any problems you encounter not due to factory defects are your problems.
You can try zooming the higher resolution scheme or look at what's available to you in Accessibility preferences.

Change Report Font Size for Printer Friendly Page

I have a report using a template of 'Reports Region' and I have a link to a printer friendly page. Because the report text is so big I would like to make it smaller. I have already reduced the width of the report region but that has made 2 page reports run into 4 pages. I tried adding tags to the page to modify it but I was only able to make the text at the top of the page smaller and not the report. I tried modifying the theme_V3.css file but I could not find a place to modify text/font size in the report (This was trial and error as I am unfamiliar with css).
I would like to only have it smaller on the printer friendly page but if I will be forced to change it all the time I would like to know if there is at least an option.
If the only way to make this happen is to build a custom report then so be it. (But again the printer friendly page only pulls in the current page and I want it to only be small on the printer page)
I am on V2.2.
Thanks

You need to use a print media stylesheet. You'll need to find class(es) or other CSS selector(s) to attach the font size rule(s) to - look at the HTML source for your page.
