Preview not showing characters correctly

I've noticed that the vast majority of the time, Preview doesn't properly render special or "foreign" characters. Up / down arrows to denote increases or decreases in items appear as black blocks, and Greek characters do something similar ("µg" renders as " g" with a black block or blank space where the µ should be.)
The same exact PDF renders properly in Adobe Reader. But I don't much care for Reader.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I saw the same behavior on my previous OS X install.

Greek characters and upward / downward arrows to denote an increase or decrease in something frequently render as a gradient "box" in Preview, but appear correctly elsewhere.
There are often problems with that stuff because of different encodings used by different "symbol" fonts. Hopefully everyone will eventually use Unicode and these will go away.
This is a bit of a problem considering that Preview >> Reader for PDFs on OS X, in my opinion.

Print preview not showing values correctly. (single words are omitted)

Hi,
When viewing print preview of ME23n , it does not shows the values correctly.
It omitting the single words.
If its having 2 or more words, it displaying correctly
For example;
This is the vendor & its address. (check attached image img1.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number-122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO-04
When displaying the print preview, it shows only some parts of the above address
Shows only; (check attached image img2.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
These values are getting from a table called LFA1. I have checked that table & in that table all the values exists correctly.
I have noted issue is with, having only a single word. (If address or name having only a single word, that is without spaces, it will not going to show in the print preview) -
In the above example, it is not showing Number-122/A and COLOMBO-04 (Its a single word. No spaces there)
If its like --> Number - 122/A & COLOMBO - 04 , then it will display in the print preview correctly (where there are spaces after - mark)
check img3.jpg
If its having more than one word, then it will display correctly in the print preview. As below;
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number - 122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO - 04
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Is there any thing to do with printer settings & configurations / netweaver admin point of view?
Best Regards.
Zerandib

Hi Zerandib,
By the way , since its a standard program, i think that code is out of our scope.
Me23N is a standard tcode but cusomters create Z-Program for printing by making a copy of standard.
You may please check upon the same.
Is it possible to check the results on a system where patch has not been applied ?

Iphoto preview not showing corrections with Yosemite

I created a new iPhoto file for 2015 and when I make adjustments to some of the photos with an outside editor (PhotoShop), the preview image does not show the corrections after making the changes. This has always worked before.
If I click to open the preview image after changes were made, the image shows with the corrections made but the menu under photos does not have the "revert to original" active and is grayed out, even though there have been changes. Yet, if I check the package contents of the 2015 iPhoto file to check the contents for the new pictures, the changed photos are shown under previews and the originals are shown in masters.
Since I got the iPhone, I had not used my digital camera since a June 2014 vacation. The preview corrections will always show if it is an iPhone picture but will not show the corrections if it is from my digital camera. If I export the camera photos with Image Capture to another folder not associated with iPhoto, then import the the pictures into iPhoto using the Import function, corrections will be saved and the preview will change to show the corrections (as previously). The picture also shows the revert to original option as available.
I had not used the camera since I upgraded to Yosemite so I went back to experiment in Mavericks which is on another drive and imported a test picture from the camera into iPhoto, made extreme changes to make it easier to see in the preview, and saved. The preview showed the corrections and iPhoto behaved as expected. I imported the same picture into Yosemite from the camera into iPhoto, made new radical changes and the preview did not change, no revert available, or the changes saved. Import in both instances was using the same picture on the same SDHC card in an external card reader.
These experiments seem to show that the problem is not my pictures or the card, but it a problem with iPhoto importing digital camera pictures under Yosemite. Since the iPhone imports directly and not through a reader, can it be that iPhoto under Yosemite has a problem communicating with the reader that does still work under Mavericks?
I know how to avoid the problem by this two step importing, although it will not break the photos into the auto-split of the events to individual days as would be if directly imported, but as one cluster of multiple day photos - a problem since I sort by date under View. The splitting by days is important for me. I do not want to sort trip pictures into individual days before importing as I might have as many as 1,000 photos in a single trip!
Is there a solution?

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Oam does not show the correct configuration information

Oracle apps,
An issue with the oam.
There are 2 nodes in our system. In 12
One is for db and cm
The other is for forms and apache.
The system is running fine.
But from the OAM, where it does not show the correct configuration info.
From the OAM, all the services are (including db, cm, forms, apache) on one node.
The issue might be caused by the fact that the web tier was cloned from the cm tier as a workaround for some patch errors in web tier.
I even used the EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN; to clean the system tables and ran
Autocfg on all tiers. But it didn’t solve this issue.
How can I fix this OAM problem to make it show the correct information?
Thanks,
Lily

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I did commit it.
The hostname information is correct.
On oam, this web node is there but all the service actually running on this node is
showing under the cm node .

Mini Calendar does not show the correct date

Hi there ,
in iCal on the bottom left side of the window is the mini Calendar, when I switch between months in this mini Cal,it does not show the correct month anymore and even the button "Today" can not revert the day back ( for example we are now in September, when I open iCal it shows it correctly but after going to next or previous months using the triangles on this mini Cal, the problem comes up ! )

Maybe it wasn't receiving the correct info from your carrier. You're supposed to turn your phone off once in a while so the carrier can update stuff. I had originally heard that you should do it once a day but I never did that.

The percentage completed UI is not showing the correct data

Hi All,
I have received complaints from one of my larger customers that a very long form we have created is not showing the correct % completed at the bottom. They get to the penultimate page (the last page only have three text boxes on) and it state that only 41% of the form has been completed.
It looks to me like the UI is not updating as the questions are being completed. Rather it waits until you move to the next page.
This is what makes our form look rubbish - you are being told that you have only completed 41% of the form only to move on to the next page and bam, you only have three more boxes to complete.
Can somebody help me out here.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill;
I can take a look at your form but you are right that only the pages are accounted for in the percentage and not the form fields so it can be far off from reality. If there is skip logic in a form that can make it vary more. It is likely that it is working "correctly" (considering how we calculate) in your form but if you send me the link to your form at [email protected] I can see if it is not.
Thanks,
Josh

Installer is not showing the correct Nodes in RAC

Hi Experts,
We are in the process of upgrade oracle database from 9.2.0.3 to 9.2.0.8 in RAC. While installing the 9.2.0.8 patch set it is not showing the correct database nodes, instead of it showing production database nodes, but we are doing doing it in test machine.
Test Machine hostname:
db1
db2
Prod machine hostname
prod1
prod2
it showing the prod1 and prod2 only.
please suggest us to solve this
Note:
We copy the oracle_home from prod to test for test database cloning.
Thanks
R.Sundaravel

Then it is highly likely your RAC cluster is not correctly configured.
Open an SR at metalink as the Cluster Verify tool does not exist for your old version.

Labels Not Showing Up Correctly in Workflow Manager Web Page

I have installed the Workflow Server 2.6.3 on Red Hat 7.2 against the Oracle 10g database. When I go to the Workflow Manager web page and login, all the labels appear between brackets "[]" and have incorrect names such as the following:
WF_WORKFLOW_TITLE
WFA_WTITLE
OPEN_NOTIFICATIONS
WFA_FINDTITLE
WFRTG_FIND_TITLE
etc......
I ran the Configuration Assistant again and this didn't solve the problem and I've also verified that the mappings in the server configuration file are correct for OA_JAVA, OA_DOC, OA_MEDIA. Looked through workflow installation log and no errors appear. I installed the web server (Oracle Apache Standalone downloaded from OTN in a separate Oracle Home). Any ideas how to fix these incorrect labels or why they're not showing up correctly??
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Hi,
I've not seen the problem myself, but it seems that the language has not created the correct lookups in the WF_RESOURCES table.
If you look for a name of (for example) 'OPEN_NOTIFICATIONS', there should be an entry for the language you are using (US) which translates the prompt for you. If it's not there then you will probably need to add a language through the installer - I don't think there is a SQL file that you can just run to do it. Alternatively, install it in a new environment and then just extract the resources you need from that system and insert them into this one.

Lightroom 4.1 can not show text correctly

lightroom 4.1 can not show text correctly when publish in PDF and blurb format
the text can be show correctly in JPEG format
but lightroom 4.0 can show correctly with the same book.
i cant publish my book on blurb now

I don't think LR4 adjustments can be directly sent to CS4, because CS4 cannot interpret LR4's new processing engine.
I think you have to use Edit In... and create a TIF or PSD and send those to CS4

My storage is not showing the correct space

Hi,
Why my storage is not showing the correct amount of space? I have MBA mid 2013 with 121gb. However my storage show a different value than its suppose to be especially on the apps. I google the problem, mostly its because of the time machine but I never use the time machine. and some of my friend tells its probably a junk. is the third party apps like apps cleaner and clean my mac is helpful? I attached the screen capture of my storage. As you can see the value of apps is 162gb in fact my flash is only 121gb. its doesn't make any sense. Please help.

Do not use third party apps such as CleanMyMac on your Mac. They have no effect what so ever on storage space. Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you > Mac OS X: About background maintenance tasks
Reindex Spotlight then check the storage > Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes

International characters not showing up correctly in Podcast Title-Is UTF-8

In the 'Podcast Information' window that pops up, the Episode title is not getting rendered correctly but the details show up fine. Both have chinese characters.
Any pointers for resolving this would be appreciated.

If sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, then there must be a difference in the way you are doing it. And you can work out what's happening from analyzing what you're doing when it works compared with what you're doing when it doesn't work.
For example, if you type the description into the blogging software, you might just be typing the ' key. While some writing software (word for example) will automatically turn on smart quotes which your blogging software will be escaping into HTML code. The character ' doesn't need escaping, but smart quotes do.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Preview not showing math Symbols in PDF files

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 and now preview is not showing math symbols like PI and the symbol for integrate, for example. Adobe Reader however displays the same files correctly. Now before anyone says anything about why am I using preview to view a PDF if I have adobe reader i downloaded Adobe reader to see if it was having the same issue. Just as a note the symbols show up in pages, stickies, etc. but not in Preview. If you copy the text in containing the symbol and paste into any of the aforementioned programs it is correctly displayed. I know it is not the font book, also i know it is not the files as other macs running 10.5 have no issues, i have the same programs they do the only difference is i am running 10.6. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I tried a new user and the same errors occur. No error messages or an other acknowledgment by the OS of error is presented.

I realize that preview has had some changes my main concern is whether or not this is an issue with my installation or if it is an issue with everyone running preview. I realize this is hard to know for sure but if you are having issues with preview displaying characters please let me know. Thanks for the file name for the plist i was not sure if there were other files that effected preview that were not so obvious.

Illustrator document thumbnail previews not showing in finder window

I am trying to find a way to view Illustrator document thumbnails (CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4) in Finder windows. Other documents such as .tiffs, jpgs, etc and Word and .pdfs show but not Illustrator.
I used +show view options+ in the Finder, turning on and off show icon, show icon preview and show preview in column. The options seem to affect all other files but not Illustrator. All I get is the application icon but not the document thumbnail. Interestingly, I discovered if I manually delete the .ai extension the documents thumbnail appears, so I tried to turn off the +Show all file extensions+ in the Finder's Preferences. It changed other files but not Illustrator. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on a global basis without manually changing each files extension? It would allow me to the use of Quick Look on these files also. I did speak to Adobe and they thought it was an OS issue.

This is a 'known' issue. Try SneakPeek Pro

Luminance preview not showing in "FIT" view.

I have noticed more and more that the luminance and other noise corrections changes do not show at all when in the "fit" view mode. Sure I can zoom in to see the changes, but when I want to view the full image in the screen & see the overall look it takes the changes away.
What's the deal??

@Lee Jay
Not sure what you mean by this. The option of luminance has always shown for just about every image, but changes made don't show on the "fit" view option. This is true with both the Develop & Library tabs.
Can't imagine that it's a performance issue with my system...if it is then Adobe is building their programs now for some really extreme-only machines...mine would be considered extreme by most photographers...I'm running with 8 cores (4ghz) 12g ram & running all adobe programs out of their own dedicated velociraptor drive separate from the boot drive. Boot drive & image storage drive are also separate WD Black drives (only because they don't have a 2tb velociraptor drive!) So if it's a performance issue then I'll be really surprised.
Maybe this was happening all along, I rarely & I mean RARELY have the need for noise reduction...this just happened to be a few shots at the wedding where I used available light only & had my ISO up to 3200. I want most of the grain left in there since that's what I was going for, but not all of it.
