OT: Best font to use for screen shots...

Any one have suggestions on the best font & OS font
settings (DPI, etc),
browser, etc, to use to capture screen shots from a web site
for use in a
PDF brochure?
Client is complaining the text in the screen shots is looking
very digitized
and I don't necessarily disagree, but it is a 'screen shot'.
TIA
Cosmo.

David,
This was an excellent tip. It works well.
Thanks again,
Cosmo

  • What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC for use with FCPX?

    What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC (windows 7) for use with FCPX? I've tried Camtasia and camstudio however the avi files cannot be imported by FCPX and the mov files produced by these programs are shown as just black screens in FCPX.

    I use to face this issue every now and then (as a freelancer) when I use to cut on FCP7.
    if the material is DV and was captured using Sony VEGAS, Premiere or Edius, the footage generally worked fine. You'll find most people will tell you to convert it regardless, however I found no issues working with them.
    A problem you'll definitely face is HDV material. Most PC editing software write HDV in their own codec, which can't be read in FCP.
    The only thing I can think of is to try converting HDV meaterial to QuickTime using something like MPEG Streamclip, or something similar.
    Good luck

  • What is the best font to use for Thai Language in Flex Mobile Applications ?

    Hi
    I am facing issues with Thai language in flex mobile applications. I am using Tahoma font and facing issues in TextInput
    Whith Tahoma font text Offset setting to far from the starting of the text input .
    Can any one suggest me the best font to use with Thai language ?
    Many thanks in advance for your help .
    Regards,
    Kamal

    Personally, I prefer uncompressed TIFF or PNG.  But many times it won't matter ... you'll be dropping the images into an SD Sequence, so they will lose resolution on output.

  • What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    I can't find the answer on Google. What is the font Apple uses for the time and date on the lock screen in iOS 7?

    This font. It's weird, it looks different when viewing the screenshot on my iMac, than it does on my iPod touch. Probably because of the retina screen of the iPod.

  • Elements 7 - Best Preset to use for the Panasonic SDR-H40 Camcorder

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what would be the best preset to use for video created on the Panasonic SDR-H40? I'm just learning about the software, opened a project, using whatever settings were already there, and the video's audio sometimes stops mid-stream, so it's basically a silent movie.
    I read that I might need to use a specific preset or create one of my own, but don't know how to actually go about it.
    The choices under NTSC presets are AVCHD, DV or HDV. I've looked in the Camcorders manual and can't find how (or even if) that equates to the recording modes of XP (high picture quality), SP (normal) or LP (recording time prioritized) -
    The videos I recorded were recorded in XP - Taking a guess at it, I don't think there's a relationship between these terms and the recording modes of the Camcorder and suspect that this camera only does DV. But if that's true I don't know if there are further adjustments I need to make (by creating a preset).
    I was hoping that someone with the same camera or just solid general knowledge could shed some light on this.
    Thanks!

    The camcorder is a standard definintion camorder recording to a hard drive so you need to use the.... NTSC, "Hard disc, Flash Memory Camcorder", Standard 28KHz or Widescreen 48KHz dependant on whether you shot in widescreen.

  • HT5878 how to check the detail of font being used for reading the file received by an email

    You don't need to copy the cert out of your configuration. OpenSSL has an "s_client" subcommand which can open an SSL connection and verify the cert for you. It even knows how to do STARTTLS. Something like this ought to do it:
    openssl s_client -starttls smtp -CAfile /path/to/ca/file -connect your.ironport:25
    The /path/to/ca/file is necessary to provide openssl with a cache of root CA certs. You could use -CApath instead of -CAfile if you have a hashed directory of root CA certs instead of a single file containing them all.
    You can also point this at your partner's SMTP server as well.

  • What's the best flash to use for nighttime sports games?

    What's the best flash to use for nighttime sporting events? I have a rebel XT and I'm pushing it to its limits trying to stop the action. I've tried a speedlite 430 but it didn't have a hook up for an external battery pack and I was told I'd need the extra power. Just tried the 580ex ll on Friday but at the 1/1 setting, it didn't flash for each frame in a burst, even with the external power. I should have backed it down to 1/4 but didn't know at the time. Any thought on a really good flash for night sports? Is the 580 a good choice?

    JUst as Tim_S said. YOu will want a external battery pack. Unforatannly the 430 does not have the option to plug in a external battery pack so will want to pick up a 580 or one of the new 600 series. 
    Then you start looking at the battery packs. I recommend Quantum power packs

  • Best program to use for the Website?

    I am interested in redesigning the home page of site:  https://www.txid.org    what would be the best program to use for the design?

    Kim,
    You should use design tools you're most comfortable with.  Before engaging on design, you need to find out more on technology running the site being redesigned and see if there are existing design and HTML templates for that technology.  If there are and you can minimally brand existing templates to quickly have professionally looking site, that would be the best way forward.  Do not start with design only to figure out later that it be cost-prohibitive to execute, work your way from the ground up - server/site technology, existing HTML/WordPress/Drupal (etc) templates for that technology, branding options for those templates.

    What is the best browser to use for facebook?

    Any browser is supposed to work, provided the rest of the infrastructure (Flash, Java) is up to date.
    However, since FB is so prone to install/modify/alter its settings/cookies/environment, I prefer to keep mine sandboxed and access it only via a dedicated browser used for nothing else, thus minimizing the risk and exposure.  For that, I use the Flock browser, purportedly optimized for social media: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19719/flock
