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 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.

I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

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.

Custom OBIEE Subtotal and Total Font Size

Hello all
Im trying to customize the font size of the subtotal or total row
I was able to find the following and it got me half way there
http://obieexpertise.blogspot.ca/2010/05/customize-format-of-subtotal-cells.html
BUT the issue I have now is that while the the total values are now increased in font size, the name of the row is not increased
So for example
Change Total 1000
The 1000 has increased in font size, but how do i get the "Change total" to increase in size?

In Pivot table Rows section on column->Sigma icon->Format Labels... or Format Values
are not helping you?
The same for Table view too, this would be simplest one.

Firefox and fraction font sizes

Today I was experimenting with GTK font sizes, and noticed that my new least-favorite app doesn't even handle that correctly.
Check this out:
Exhibit A: GTK font size 7
Exhibit B: GTK font size 7.5
Notice how the font in Thunar's menu changed and Firefox's didn't? Through testing 7.9 as a font size I came to the conclusion that it isn't even rounding to the nearest integer, just outright ignoring the decimals.
Is there a solution for this?

augustob wrote:Is there a solution for this?
Yes, but you won't like it. Crack open your UserChrome.css file (in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<garbage>.default/chrome/) and do something like this:
.chromeclass-menubar {
font-size: 10pt !important;
EDIT: To set the default font size for everything (not just the menu bar), use "*" instead of ".chromeclass-menubar".

I would like to know how to increase the window size and message font size on the the Three Button Dialog.vi

I like using the Three Button Dialog .vi. However, I am doing a job were I need to use a larger font size. I tried to adjust the core vi but could not make it do what I wanted. Any help would be great.

1: VI Properties Window Size- Check maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions. (Your users will thank you)
Jeff,
Why do you think that is a good idea? When I opened your VI on my screen, the buttons were cut off at the bottom, and there was a slight cutoff on the right side. Without scrollbars or the ability to resize the panel, (which I generally wouldn't want on a dialog box anyway) there is no way to be able to see the whole dialog.
Did your VI show all of the buttons and show all of the text box? On mine it looked like this.
What was your screen resolution and your monitor aspect ratio? Mine is 1680 x 1050 for a 16:10 ratio. I think you will have problems with checking this box. I would recommend unchecking it. Suppose you programmed on a 16:10 screen, but someone else has a 16:9, or even a 4:3. That is going to screw up the appearance of the dialog unless you take the time to resize the buttons and text inside the dialog. (And I feel checking the resize option inside the Window Appearance settings just never works right either.)
If I was the user, I'd appreciate a dialog box that wasn't cut off.

Clear Ruby and Kenten Font Size[JS CS4]

Hi.
In my IDML exports I am seeing spurious Ruby & Kenten Font sizes set (on English text). These cause a problem for us as they are breaking up runs of text pre-translation. I need to write a script which can clear these attributes, but I cannot find them in the Object Model.
Can someone help?
Thanks

You could try creating a style without attribute and use Replace.

Window Maximizing and Safari font size

I have a 13 inch Macbook. Why can't I completely open the safari window, or any window for that matter?
The font on web pages ar so small, I can hardly read. I tried changing the display setting but it just made the window display kind of grainy. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Try holding down command and hit + a couple times. You can reverse this by holding command and hitting - a few times.

How do I increase the font size in my email and maintain resolution.

Hi folks. Mr Newbie is seeking some help, I hope it is relatively straight forward, thanks
How do I increase the font size in my standard email and document views without losing resolution. Right now my font size in email, headers and text is less than that on my iPhone, it rather defeats the point of having a 27" screen if most of it is blank and I have to sit with my nose to the screen to read email. Thanks for your help, once you have stopped laughing. C

Two things you can do to easily aid with readability in Mail are as follows:
1) Increase the size of folders in the sidebar:
a) select "system preferences" from the Apple menu
b) select "general settings"
c) select small, medium or large under "sidebar icon size"
2) Increase the text in the main body of the email (both sent and received):
a) select "preferences" from the Mail menu
b) select "fonts and colors"
c) adjust font size for "message list font" and "message font". I have noticed this works properly while in classic mode, but in regular mode the message list font doesn't appear to change size.
Select classic mode by accessing Mail preferences and selecting the "viewing" tab.
Another shortcut is to right click on the toolbar, then select "customize toolbar", and then drag the "smaller / bigger" buttons onto the toolbar. Now you can decrease and increase font size as desired on the fly.

Onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"

How do I increase the onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"? I just tried to spell check a document and the font size was so small I can't see what it says. Also, when you click on 'font' to change it, I wish the list of fonts was larger so I could see it clearer. I have pretty good vision so it's not that, it's just the size of the font....it must be at least 6! Thanks for your help.

Hi, Diane. I don't know what sort of display you're using, but it sounds like you have a flat LCD display. At any resolution lower than its maximum, a flat-screen LCD display is always blurry, and the lower the resolution, the blurrier it is. This is because unlike a CRT display, an LCD has a fixed number of physical pixels in it that can't be changed. If you instruct it to "pretend" it has a smaller number of larger pixels by setting it for a lower resolution, each of the "pretend" pixels has to be made up of several real pixels instead of just one, and no pixel can be (for example) half white and half blue: a pixel is an indivisible unit that is always all one color. So the only way the hardware can use several pixels to represent one larger one is to gradate the colors of those pixels as best it can to approximate the intended image, and that inevitably spreads the gradation out — which is exactly what blurring is. This is just an inbuilt property of LCD displays, not a defect that needs to be (or can be) fixed. The solution is to buy a display that works well for you at its highest resolution — which will probably mean a lower-resolution display than you have now.

A mode to change font size and bold in every page?

Due to problems described here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012057?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s I have clear that I need something (an extension, maybe) that allow me to recognize and change font size and bold of the fonts in every page.
Does exist something like this?
Maybe also for bookmarks toolbar...

Hi RichterB,
You can change this in the Content Settings of Firefox. Go to "3 bar" menu and click on Options. Click on content and uncheck "Let websites choose their own styles" and select a bold font type.
Also try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Sytlish].

Is it possible to change the font and font-size in Richtooltip?

Hiya,
For "RichTooltip" I'd like to change the font and/or font-size is that possible?
Is it possible to change the size of the tooltip box so that it is wider?
Currently my tooltip looks quite ugly:
I tried reading the help but I couldn't find a way to do this using the API for sap.ui.commons.RichTooltip
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
you can use something like this for formatted text.
<script>
            var oTextField = new sap.ui.commons.TextField({
                  valueState : sap.ui.core.ValueState.Error
            }).placeAt("content");
            var sHtml = "The rating specifies the trustworthiness of the account. You can choose between the following values:<br>";
            sHtml += "<ul>";
            sHtml += '<li><strong>A:</strong> <font color="blue", size ="2px" family="Helvetica">Highly trustworthy</font></li>';
            sHtml += "<li><strong>B:</strong> In generel trustworthy but some weak moments</li>";
            var oRttTextField = new sap.ui.commons.RichTooltip({
                  text : sHtml
            oTextField.setTooltip(oRttTextField);
            </script>
      </head>
      <body class="sapUiBody" role="application">
            <div id="content"></div>
      </body>

To find min stroke weight and font size

For printing purpose, we need to tell the min stroke weight and min font size (outlined fonts) to the printer in order to make sure that the artwork is fulfilled the printing requirement. Is it any Ai scripting that can help us to find them in the artwork?

Hi
cy_auyeung
Do not know about VB Script or Apple Script. But, in JavaScript, we have methods to know the stroke weight of some objects. The problem, at true, is: there are contents (like Envelopes, Blends, Symbols) we are not able to acess the internal objects, so we could not evaluate the stroke weight of these.
So, a JavaScript that that reads stroke widths would limit to single groups, isolated paths, compound paths and so on. So, in various artworks (depending on what artist used to create the artwork), it would fall to completelly analyze the objects.
The same for mininum font size. If the text is isolated or inside single groups, then perfect. But if it´s inside symbols, for example, you would not reach via script.
Please tell me if I was able to explain it better
Gustavo.

How to keep alignment in Windows LARGE and SMALL fonts

For years, I fought with LabVIEW, trying to keep things looking decent in both Windows LARGE and SMALL font sizes.
By this, I mean Settings - Control Panels - Display - Settings - Advanced - General - Font Size
I love to use large fonts - I run my display at 1600x1200 and it just looks better.
But if you plop an indicator on a panel in LARGE fonts, save it, then open it with SMALL fonts in effect, it looks horrible.
N.I. Doesn't care about this - just look at how ugly their own examples get when viewed in LARGE fonts.
So I developed a method to make the bottom of the label text line up with the bottom of the numerical text, whether in LARGE fonts or SMALL.
Click here for examples. Basically, I turn OFF the SIZE to TEXT attribute and right-justify the label (if on the left of the numeric).
This works OK, except I have just discovered that it depends on the text being the default size.
If I have a 17-pt numeric with a 17-point label, then they both appear as 13-pt when I switch to SMALL fonts - great -- they're still aligned.
But if I have a 17-point numeric with a 16-pt label, when I switch to SMALL, the numeric shrinks to 13, but the label stays at 16, and is thus vertically misaligned with the numeric.
So how can I have a 17-pt numeric with a 13-pt label, and have them BOTH shrink when I switch to SMALL fonts?
I suppose I could use property nodes, and detect the switch myself, but I have 50+ of these on a single VI to do - that would be ugly to watch the labels jumping around.
I suppose I could have two VIs - one for LARGE fonts and one for SMALL, but I don't want to duplicate th
e code.
Any other ideas?

It is true that we don't have a
solution. It isn't that we don't care, but the solution choices stink.
Well, I'll stand by my opinion that N.I. doesn't care - when using the default app font, there *-IS-* a solution - the link in my original post points to a page that I show my employees on how to solve the problem. It is solvable, for the case of using the default font and size. Yet N.I. uses the default font and size, but LOOK HOW THEIR EXAMPLES APPEAR (see attached files). This is how the example software looks, out of the box. These are not ancient examples, either.
It is NOT my opinion that, because there apparently is no solution for non-standard sizes, the stuff looking ugly is NI's fault.
But when a solution DOES exist for standard sizes, why they don't apply it is beyond me. Even some of the LabVIEW dialogs suffer from this.
