PIXEL FONTS

I'm using pixel fonts for the first time and I cant seem to
make them work properly. the words are still unfocused and
unreadable.
I already put the size to 8 ou 16,
no decimals in the X and Y position,
embeded the font,
tried all the anti alias modes,
nothing seems to work and the words look like blurs
Am I missing a step, or doing something wrong?
best regards

under the font properties, set it to Bitmap and not Anti
Alias for Animation.

Missing Pixel Font in Flash Player 9

I have developed a site in Flash 7.2 and since the Flash
Player update to version 9, my pixel font has disappeared from my
site - even though I can still see it in the fla file!
Any help gratefully received.

Did you embed the font?

Adobe flash CS5, how do I do pixel fonts?

Hi guys,
I'm pretty sure in previous versions of flash I could create pixel fonts. Just wondering if I can still do these in CS5? Say for arial 9pt. If not I'll just bang them out in PS pngs.
Any help would be great

You don't. Adobe doesn not make a version of Flash for iOS devices.

Pixelated Font out of After Effects and in the FCP timeline

I've posted this questions before, but I'm still having trouble. I create an animation is After Effects that is composed of a layer Photoshop file. Looks fine in AE and when I play the exported movie on my desktop. See below.
I put it on the timeline in Final Cut and Voila! this:
The font pixelates. In addition, I'm getting pixelated font in my layered photoshop files in my timeline. This is an issue I cannot recall having in the past.
I was advised on my last post for this issue not to use the DV-NTSC codec to export from After Effect but no matter what I use I get the pixelation once I put it in the Final Cut timeline. So is is possible that the issue lies with something in my layered Photoshop file? This is ultimately going to play on a 12 foot high screen so there no hiding even a minor lack of quality. Help!
My After Effects is version 6.0
Thanks for anything you can do!

What are the properties of the clip from Ae?
These are my export choices and I've tried DV-NTSC which matches the final cut settings and under advice from this forum the Uncompressed 10-bit and H.264. Same pixelated font but only in the FCP timelime. Plays fine in Quicktime on the deskstop with no pixelation on the font
What are your Sequence settings in FCP?
DV-NTSC
Did you render the clip on the FCP Timeline?
Yes, didn't make a difference
The Final Cut Pro canvas shows you a low res proxy. That conserves resources and should not be what you use to determine quality. Export the clip and view it in QuickTime Player 7--Play beautifully....no crappy font.
(not QT X). Make sure QT7 is set to use Hi Quality Playback (in the Preferences dialog). Better yet, view it on a TV set.
Views on the TV as pixelated.
The typeface that you are using. While elegant and pretty, it is very unsuitable for television--Yes, absolutely agree, but it's a client produced photoshop file that matches the invitations for the Gala. They may allow me to change the font to something close, but even those fonts would probably create the same problem.
Considering using text font in Final Cut to solve the issue, but I just don't want to "say Uncle" just yet. I would like to figure out the problem. I feel like I exist in a constant learning curve...just commentary of life in today's world there.
Once again, any suggestions would be appreciated. Plus I don't understand why my photoshop files look terrible in the timeline as well. I just haven't had that problem before.

The font "Georgia" appears blurred and the pixel fonts I regularly view and use (such as Terminal and Silkscreen) do not appear properly.

So in a few of the websites I use (namely livejournal and dreamwidth), I always use georgia and either terminal or silkscreen for an account layout, but ever since upgrading the 19.0 beta, georgia looks readable but blurry while every word styled in terminal or silkscreen appears as a sans-serif font. Is there a way to go around this? Something in the encoding used?

The terminal font is probably a bitmap (raster) font and Firefox no longer supports such fonts, so you won't see them.
The Silkscreen font is available as a true type version and should work in Firefox.

Such pixel (bitmap) fonts only look good in their native resolution, so make sure that you aren't zooming web pages.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Vertical faded pink lines and pixelated fonts in the Menu, how to fix?

Hi there,
I bought my iMac in Jan 2010, and just after my Apple Care expired three years later I started to have some problems I have no idea how to fix, hope someone can help.
When starting the computer, I get either a grey screen (I cannot go further or see anything else), or after starting the computer, seems like only the screensaver works, and if you try to open any menu, you'll get a black screen.
All this happened right after the last update.
I followed all the steps advised by Apple to fix the grey screen, but none of them worked.
I also formatted the hard drive (I was using 10.8) and installed other OS (10.6).
It worked well, except that I got now time vertical faded pink lines right after starting the computer, and the fonts in the menu looks like pixelated, they're not clear. but it only happens with the menu, Safari and other programs look fine.
Any idea what's going on?

This looks as though you may have a failing GPU.
You can try these resets that may help, but it looks like a hardware failure.
You may want to take it in to an Apple store genius bay, they will diagnose it for free and give you your options.

Point and Pixel font sizes

I'm working on a website for the first time (always been print-only) and I've done the design rough in Illustrator.
I've been working with fonts sized in points, but from my understanding I need to be working in pixels?
When changing the font size from points to pixels in Preferences > Units, my 10pt font shows as 10px fonts. As far as I understand this is not correct? Is it correct and why; and how do I ensure my fonts are the right size for screen?

When changing the font size from points to pixels in Preferences > Units, my 10pt font shows as 10px fonts. As far as I understand this is not correct?
When Illustrator uses "pixels" as a unit of measure (which it is not), it is really using points. All of Illustrator's underlying measures are in points (1/72 inch).
I'm not sure what you're struggling with re webpages; but you can code text size in XHTML / CSS as pixels or points or as percentages.

Pixelated font in windows tabs

Hi, the font in the windows tabs is all pixelated in my
freehand MXa...
Here is a link with a printscreen of the problem....
http://static.flickr.com/83/235438633_6890cba33f_o.jpg
So... What is happening with my freehand??

yes create a windows and fonts folder
yes I have done it under post install
It better to store reg file in the deploymentshare because during installation it is not easy to run or access a reg file from a network share.
Chris
I made folder as suggested and copied fonts that I wanted to use with new win7 image but after I re-imaged one of out laptops I cant see that those fonts are actually copied/installed.
Let me explain in steps what I did to avoid any confusion:
1. made folder under deployment share D:\DeploymentShare\$OEM$\$1\Windows\Fonts and added 10 diff fonts
2. added new tasksequence under post install (run command line) and added line regedit /s %SCRIPTROOT%\fonts.reg
3. made fonts.reg and added it to D:\DeploymentShare\Scripts
This is how fonts.reg looks like:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"somefont1 (TrueType)"="somefont1.TTF"
"somefont2 (TrueType)"="somefont2.TTF"
and so on to nr 10...
What am I doing wrong ?

Brand new MacBook Pro w/Retina Display, PSE11 looks like a mess, bad resolution, pixelated fonts and pictures, is there a fix for this? This is a major, major issue for me as I use PSE all...the...time! Thx.

Just purchased a brand new MBP, and all programs look awesome on it except the one software program where crisp display is required - PSE11. I really need to know my options, is this a fix in the near future? Is PSE12 retina display friendly? Any other options? Thank you.

I am not a Mac user, but your problem is the same with other HDPI high resolution displays.
See that discussion on the feedback forum:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/please_add_retina_support_to_photosh op_elements_11
Nobody can tell if future versions will solve the problem, but don't expect a fix for PSE12.

I completely disagree about the 'crisp display' requirement. Photo editing on computers has its own requirements which do take into account the practical resolution of the display, its size and viewing distance and the fact that you have to work alternatively on the whole image or the pixel level. Working comfortably without straining your eyesight means a lot of things including display size and viewing distance (good : 24 to 27" at 80 - 100 cm) with optimal resolution : 1920 x 1200; good colour fidelity and absence of reflections.
If you compare side by side HDPi vs more standard displays, you won't see the difference in a normal editing session, only if you look closely for a long time at a still image.
Standard displays are crisp enough, don't be fooled by the marketing trick of the higher figures. Even 1920 x 1200 resolution is more than enough for a 15" display. Spend the price difference on a good and comfortable. external display. Make use of the shortcuts to quickly zoom and pan in your images.

Pixelated Fonts - Help

I've been reading through the threads here on text in DVSP and how it's better to import PS for menus. I did a test and it's not looking any better to me. In fact when I simulate it the fonts in DVSP itself looks better. Maybe I'm not creating the layers in PS correctly? I've watched a few demos online. I'm creating DVDs for an event and the buttons and text has to look good. Any suggestions? Would it be better to create something in FC? I don't even know if that's possible. Help..thanks.

Couple of things in general - you need to make sure that you are creating the proper size menus in Photoshop (you can start with one of the presets, such as DV or DV Widescreen). Make sure to use larger sans-serif fonts and all layers and effects should be rasterized. 20pt plus is a good idea, and sometimes things like drop shadows helps. (Depends) Also tiffs or picts and not jpegs.
I have been using Motion alot more for layouts and does a nice job. Even if the background is not a "video" background, using a movie can help - make it 30 seconds or so. Export using an uncompressed codec then encode in Compressor.

Motion 4, pixelated fonts

Hi everyone. I'm using motion 4 to design a template. I placed a evolution floral design in the scene and when I export it in pro res 444, the edges are not as sharp as they were in the project. What causes this and how do I correct it? thanks.

It's helpful to others who use this forum to post the answer if you figured it out on your own so that those with similar problems can search and find out what worked for you.

CSS font style in main template. How to remove or change...

Hi, made a boo boo the other day while messing with my spry menu bar from the main template. I was trying to change the font size on the sub-menu as the drop down had gone off the page. I was fooling around with it and inadvertantly changed/added several styles that were already being used on other pages throughout the site. For instance "style 19" used to be 24 pixels high and not in the main template. (right under spry assets styles.) Now it's there and every page that used this style is now showing VERY LARGE font as I somehow changed it to 113pixels. (type-o that I didn't realize was being saved and changing a style.)
If that made sense to anyone, what do I do now? Do I go to the main template and change the size to what I know they should be then update all the pages, leaving "redundant tags". Do I delete the style altogeter from the main template?..not sure what that would do.
and last, once I finally get it right, how do I upload these changes. Putting the main teimplate, css style sheet? Spry menu? all?
Thanks SO MUCH
Miserable in D.W. land today!

Thanks, will be working on it today. That's what I needed to know. It sucks when you don't know what your'e
doing and you can't speak intelligently to someone who does. So thanks for the layman's answer this time.
What I can do is actually go back to the page in question, and I can see the "old" style 18 and what the size should be, then see the new one. So I will be able to tell what the old size was. These styles affected are mainly for colored font/names under our caddy girls. Each one might have her name in size 24 pixel font, in a different color depending on the page design. Long story short, is all the fonts that were 18 or 19 are now wrong.. and some other styles have been messed up as well
Maybe you can help me with this one too? On 3 or 4 font styles I must have been playing with the spry menu bar and adjusting the size not realizing I was in percentage mode and not pixels. By the time I figured it out I had changed 4 styles to 12 and 13 %. So the font is tiny in D.W. Would I just delete these altogether, or change these to what pixel size they should be? Even though it will create a redundant font tag. (which I'm not too concerned about unless I need to be.) Or should I change them to 100%?
Hope you can make sense of the above. I REALLY appreciate it. Was going to make the font on "really" very big but my days of messing with fonts are over!!!!
Thanks,
ken

Apps using larger font in my new iPhone 6

I just received my iPhone 6 this morning and I've noticed all my apps are opening in a larger more pixelated font. I tried resetting the phone but it's still in this large ugly font. what can I do to change it back to the correct font

Its the way iPhone 5 apps are scaling, its now upto the app developers to update their apps for the new screen sizes. I would say a couple of months for most major apps. Some devs are really fast and have already updated their apps for the new screen sizes, like wunderlist. As of now there is nothing that you can do to make the fonts smaller, just wait till the developers catch up.

JDeveloper Code Editor doesn't do ClearType font anti-aliasing

I can't seem to get the Code Editor in JDeveloper (11.1.1.5.0) to do ClearType sub-pixel font anti-aliasing. Everything else in the IDE is doing proper sub-pixel anti-aliasing, it's only the Code Editor that's not doing it. It's doing "normal" pixel anti-aliasing which isn't nearly as good and still leaves the font looking quite jaggy.
I've got the following lines in my jdev.conf:
AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true
AddVMOption -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
And I've checked "Enable Text Anti-Aliasing" in Preferences->Code Editor->Display.
Is sub-pixel antialiasing in the JDeveloper code editor possible? If so, how? I'm running Windows 7 btw.

No problem Timo.
I don't think it's worth opening an SR for this. It looks like sub-pixel anti-aliasing isn't supported in the JDeveloper Code Editor, which is a shame, because that's the place where it's most needed.

Font Anti-Aliasing Issues in HTML/Ajax based Air Applications

It seems that the font-renderer in HTML/Ajax based Air Applications is using some kind of sub-pixel font renderer that is overriding and vastly inferior to the standard Windows ClearType, or any Apple based option as well. This problem is particularly noticable with light text on a dark background, and made worse the smaller the text is. I've put together an example image explaining exactly what I mean at: http://regator.com/fontRendering.png (it's a large image 1126 x 1500 px)
My example shows two fonts at four different sizes rendered in an HTML Air App vs the default Windows Cleartype, as well as using Safari to show the Font style anti-aliasing. In all cases the HTML Air App rendering is far more difficult to read, and in many cases severely distorts the color of the text in a way that other subpixel algorithms do not. As far as I can find after literally hours of googling and searching there's no way to override this in HTML based applications. Is there any solution to this, or a planned fix for the renderer? Other than this rendering issue, the HTML interface for creating Air apps is absolutely brilliant, this is just making my finished product look significantly less polished than it otherwise would if the text were more readable.
Thanks.

Dear caturner81, dear Adobe,
is there a solution to this problem? I'd really love to fix the aliasing thing in Air/HTML!
