Printing html text and font styles

Hello,
when I try to print html text in serif with italic or bold text style the output on a printer incorrectly shows the bold and italic parts in arial or something. Underlined text is printed correctly.
The font is rendered correctly on a JEditorPane.
There were some issues with html rendering in java (e.g. Bug IDs 4331766, 4160605, 1235430, 4141537) but as these bugs are closed/fixed in earlier jdk versions, and i found no hint that anyone else has experienced such problems, i may be doing something wrong?
Regards,
Dirk

Hello again,
Update:
With JRE 6 it seems to work (at least with update 2). Because Java 6 is currently not an option for me: should i file a Bug?

Printing only Text and Subtotals lines in A/R Invoice not Regular lines

How can I create in PLD for A/R invoice that only prints the Text and Subtotals lines in A/R Invoice but not the regular lines the A/R Invoice ?

Hi Hector Santos,
Try this,
->> Open the A/R Invoice Document.

->> Open the A/R Invoice(System) PLD and Save as the New PLD.
->> Open the New PLD.
->> Choose the Database field(make) on Top of the Menu Bar.
->> Create the Database field in Repetetive Area.
for example,
Row Line Total Field:

Column -> LineTotal.
->> Choose the TEXT field(make) on Top of the Menu Bar.
->> Create the TEXT field in Repetetive Area Footer or End of Report.

Changing the css files should work perfectly...
Try changing these files under the KM Content:
KM Content -> root -> etc -> Web Content -> css
These are some of the css files that I have modified :
root > etc > wpceditor > css > runtime > sdn_general.css
root > etc > wpceditor > css > runtime > content.css

Are you behind a firewall or double NAT??
What is the device that is immediately plugged into the main modem or router? Has that one been able to update?
It is plugged in of course isn't it.. no nasty join wireless anywhere??
The best way to work around these sort of problems is to simplify the network.. Plug each device directly into the main router.. by ethernet. You can trigger the firmware upgrade by wireless but use ipad or iphone version of airport utility and see what happens.

PS CS6 - text and font changes by clicking on it - not reversible

Sometimes I open a file with layers in PS and click on a text layer, to move or change it,
and immediately the text and font changes into another text/font from the document.
Can not save the file then the problem stays forever. I can´t touch/change any text layer
without this problem. Happens on every ca. 10th - 20th file I open...
Please help me, how can this be fixed?

There was a bug in 13.0.0 that could corrupt text layers that way.
It was fixed in 13.0.1, but documents saved with 13.0.0 could already be corrupted and there is no way to fix them automatically.

Font color and font style

No, a Font doesn't have a colour. But you can set the colour of the text in a text area with setColor().

JTextPane, Selecting Text and Applying Styles

Hello,
Anyone encounter this situation? I have a mini word processor application that I have written using the RTFEditor kit and a JTextPane. To change style, e.g bold, font size, font face, etc, one can select text and then click a button or select a menu item. That part works fine. The styles are primarily changed by using the Action classes provided in the javax.swing.text.* package.
The problem is, that if a user selected text of more than one style, all of the text is automatically converted to the style of the first part of the text selected, without the user even eanting to change ANY style just yet.
If anyone knows why this might be happening I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks,
acal

Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using certain HTML tags or font styles

Only when HW acceleration is on. Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using "italic" or "oblique" font styles or when using or html tags.
Try this code to replicate the problem
<pre>
مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Italic مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Oblique مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
i tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
em tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
</pre>

After lots of research, I found the problem. The boxes (squares) show up whenever there is a font in the webpage that does not have Arabic within its Unicode range such as Times New Roman Italic or Oblique. Normally, Firefox will pick another font to display the characters but now, a newly introduced feature is interfering.
To fix the problem without turning off hardware acceleration.
Go to about:config
locate: gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading
which is True by default in FF4.0 Beta 10, and change it to False.
This is a bug that has to be fixed.

Line wrapping and font styles?

Hi,
If I have a piece of text which I would like to see line wrapped, and font styled, how should I do that?
javax.swing.JTextArea has the capabilities to set line wrapping to on.
javax.swing.JTextPane has the capabilities to set font styles like bold, italic and so on.
But what if you have a piece of text you don't know the (possible) length of (so you would like to have line wrapping), AND to which you want to apply font styles to. JTextArea and JTextPane are siblings, not ancestors. So I can't use it. I have looked in the code to see if I could use pieces of code in my own program. But not luck.
Do you have a suggestion for me?
TIA,
Abel

How to print html text created with HTML Editor Standard?

I would like to print the text I added with the HTML Editor Standard, using advanced printing. I have made up a Word document with a Report Query and a Report Layout, but the text pops up as html text. Also when I use HTML as output the text shows as "p strong hallo /strong /p" (but then with < and >) instead of hallo . I understand what goes wrong, but I am unable to solve it. Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks a lot, Frits

Flash Application Font-Face and Font-Style

This is a similar thread to one I posted earlier but this one is
more detailed to explain my problem
Does anyone know how to change the programs font-face,
font-size, font-style etc ... of the console? I'm referring to all
of the outer workspace area, not the stage.
I found the image below at some website by google just to
illustrate:
http://cis2.stvincent.edu/martincc/introwpd/flash/flashscreen.jpg
See the panels on the right side?
Swatches, Character, Sound panels. On my computer, the font
size for these words and for everything inside these panels are
microscopic. They are so small it can't be read unless you stare at
it for a while.
How do I change the font size or face for these fonts?
Now you see the top of the screen, where it says "
File Edit View Insert Modify Text Control Window Help"? All
of these font sizes are perfectly normal just like everything on my
computer. I also use Adobe Photoshop CS 8.0 and the panel window
fonts are perfect as well as everything else, so I know that it is
a problem only with my Flash 5.0.
I would appreciate any help you guys can give me, as it takes
me forever to work on a project, I have to stare for a while to
figure out what the panel text says.

anyone have any ideas on how to change the window panel text
size?

Import Html text and convert to InDesign tags

Hello everybody,
The script receives a JSON with text (html markup: headers <h1>, , new line characters, ...).
I have to save the converted text into a temp text file and then do .place() into a text frame. That's the only way it can recognise new tags.
//text and contentArea are defined previously.
var convertedText = convertTags(text);
var convertedTextFile = new File (FILE_PATH + "/Temp/convertedTextFile.txt");
convertedTextFile.open('wr');
convertedTextFile.write(convertedText);
convertedTextFile.close();
contentArea.place(convertedTextFile);
function convertTags(htmlTaggedText){
 var inDesignTaggedText = "<ASCII-MAC>\n" + htmlTaggedText.replace("<h1>", "<ParaStyle:Heading 1>").replace("</h1>", "");
 return inDesignTaggedText;
General question is, whether there is any more elegant solution to this?
Thanks in advance

Search for text and font

I have an 800 page pdf document to index and so far I have a script that will search for a list of keywords. But the text has large sections of code in a different font, and I think we would like to generate an index of just code examples. Is there a way to search for text of a given font in applescript? Something like
set theSel to find text theText
if the font of theSel is "Times"
write to file, etc.

Please do send a page, I might be able to spot where the font problem is coming from - but no guarantee Address is in my profile.
You asked about the script formatter. red_menace of this forum wrote the script I use. To use it, you copy the script that you want to format to the clipboard and run the formatter. This then places the marked-up text in the clipboard so that you can paste it into the forum page.
