Problem displaying small fonts

I am working with the default font in my Flex app. When the
font is set above size 8, everything looks fine and as expected.
But when I make the font size = 8, the text goes blurry and grayed
out, looking the same as if the enabled property were set to false.
If I set the Windows smooth edging option to ClearType (Control
Panel, Display properties, Appearance tab, Effects button), the
problem goes away and small font sizes look fine. This is not the
default setting in Windows, so any user would have to set this
themselves to view the Flex app correctly, so that's out of the
question.
Is there some sort of setting to fix the way small fonts are
displayed? I tried the fontAntiAliasing property at "normal" and at
"advanced" at the Application level, with no luck with either. I'm
currently setting the fontWeight to bold for all size 8 text, and
it does the trick, but I'd prefer not having bold text everywhere.
Any help is always much appreciated.

Hi Nayeem,
You need to use a UNICODE font and one that is not Licensed, CR will not embed licensed fonts into PDF files. Odd that it doesn't work in Word though.
Not sure what OS you are using but in XP go into Control Panel, Regional and Language Options and click on the Advanced tab and check on the option to Apply all setting to.... in the default user account area. Then go to the Languages tab and check on the option to Install Files for east asian languages. We have a dependency on that option as of R2. It adds about 10 meg of files so you'll need your Windows CD.
Thank you
Don

Please help. I have inserted a screenshot with this message :
as you can see, some fonts are good but some are garbage.

Dreamweaver CS3 problem with small fonts

Hello,
I am having a problem with text appearing
REALLY SMALL and unreadable in CS3, when it looked fine in
Dw8. It also looks fine in in all browsers.
I talked to Adobe tech support, and they said something about
my CSS file not being correct. I looked at it, and nothing seems
out of the ordinary.
If it was a problem with my CSS file, wouldn't it look bad in
the browser as well?
Any suggestions?
Ron

Ron,
Thanks for the sample file. This is a bit complicated, so
please bear
with me.
Up until DW8, DW rendering always targeted the most popular
browser at
that time. For DW8, that was IE6. Traditionally, the most
popular
browser was the most popular because it was the best browser,
but that
no longer holds true. So, DW CS3 now targets CSS 2.1. Note
that DW does
not support all of the CSS 2.1 spec, but what it does support
follows
the spec.
Your page does not have a DOCTYPE, so it renders in "quirks"
mode in the
browsers that I tested it in on WinXP (FF2, IE7, Opera9). DW
renders
this page in IE6 quirks mode, but DW CS3 no longer supports
quirks mode.
Put a DOCTYPE such as the following in your page to see what
I mean:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
The reason that the font is so small is because of the
font-size
property in this rule:
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 80%;
Your page has tables nested 4 levels deep, so the 80% is
compounded at
each level. I fixed this in DW CS3 by creating a style sheet
with this rule:
TD { FONT-SIZE: 100% !important; }
and the applied it as a Design-time Style Sheet, although you
may be
able to remove the 80% altogether.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Small fonts illegible in version 6 browsers

Hi Folks,
Can anyone explain why version 6 browsers seem to display
small fonts (8 px or less) not as sharp as IE7
in fact they are most of the time illegible and squashed..
Bonus if anyone has a solution to this
Cheers
J

Anything but points. Use px if you want, but be aware that px
will not
resize in IE without extra modification by the user. It will
resize in any
other modern browser, though. Use relative size metrics (em,
en, ex,
percent) if you are familiar with the cascade issues with
them and can
accommodate that in your styles. Use font size names (small,
medium, large)
if you can accept the limited sizing options.

Small fonts for Firefox 35.0.1 display badly after Windows Update 2/10/15

After Microsoft did an update (image attached) the display of many small fonts is nasty (image attached). I see it in no other programs including IE. Not all fonts are bad, just some small ones. Everything on your page here looks fine.
Thanks,
Chris

hi chris, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
<blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>

FF18.0 Mac OS. right click (control click) on left half of an additional display brings the menu up in small font on the laptop

Upgraded to FF18.0 from the prior version (Mac OS 10.8.2) and it works great on my MacBook Pro Retina display. However, if either a 27" Thunderbolt Display or 27" LED Cinema Display is also plugged in and the browser is on the separate display there is a problem:
Right or control clicking the browser window anywhere on the left half of the separate display brings the pop up menu on the laptop in very small font (presumably at the higher resolution of the separate monitor). The problem also occurs with links on web pages that have preview pop ups when you hold the cursor over the link.
These were not issues in the FF17.x version I was previously using.

Problems displaying fonts

Hello.
I am developing my first application using JavaFX 2.2 and I am not able to get a good visualization of the texts. The majority of texts in the application are displayed using Label controls, and I have read that, since Javafx 2.1, font rendering has been improved, including anti-aliasing and subpixel LCD treatment. However, I see some problems in my fonts, like wrong letter glyphs, unexpected colors etc.
As Linux is my execution environment, I have tried to configure fonts in the system through Gnome options, but it does not seem to affect to the application. I have also checked that my FreeType version is quite modern and I have changed the configuration of the fonts.conf, but neither it worked.
I have tested some JVM parameters, like -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings, but it only works if the graphical aceleration is disabled, so it is not a solution for me.
The only thing that I can configure and seems to affect to the application is the antialiasing level in the NVidia controls, but it has the drawback that the smoothing is lost and the overall result is even worse.
The operating system is a RHEL 6.2 and the grhaphic card an NVidia Quadro 2000D. The JavaFX version I am using is the 2.2 Developer Preview b19 and the fonts in the application are Arial and Consolas.
As I have read in the JavaFX documentation, although with Text you can make some adjustments regarding fonts, that is not the case when using Label.
Is it possible to change the configuration of fonts rendering in JavaFX to improve the visualization? How?
Thanks.
Regards.

Same old font problem..installed fonts not displaying..

I have been searching everywhere for a resolution to this problem, and while it's reported frequently, and there are various suggestions, I haven't found anything that works. Any advice would be appreciated.
The problem is that fonts that are installed on my computer do not display in Indesign but they do in other windows applications. Even more bizarre, Photoshop displays some of the ones that Indesign doesn't, but not all. In this particular case (although I am discovering other fonts) the main ones that are missing that are HUGHLY problematic are Arial Narrow and Arial Narrow Bold!!!
Information:
Using Windows Vista...did have to install a new harddrive, and I don't think this has worked properly since I did that, but did work on original harddrive. However, had the same problem on an XP machine a few years ago.
Indesign CS3...have verified that I have all updates.
Have deleted the fntcache.dat in windows and recreated it...no luck.
I tried copying the fonts to the Adobe font folder...still didn't work.
Installed FontValidator (from Windows I think) and ran it against my Arial files. It does show some errors/warning but I don't know what they mean. Several 'calculations didn't match...'. I can get the logs if this will help anyone.
Installed a font manager X-Fonter and have been loading/unloading and installing/uninstalling the fonts. I've moved fonts to external drives and deleted them. Anything I can think of in this arena..no luck.
I copied my Arial font files from an XP machine to the VISTA machine and again...no luck.
I apologize that I believe that this issue has been discussed to death, but nothing. I submitting a report to Adobe, but don't have high hopes of having a response. Any one know what to do with this? Is there a real way to tell if a font is corrupted?
thanks in advance!

I had to do a few extra things after applying the hotfix to resolve this issue on my PC (XP SP2 & CS3).
First, I followed the suggested workaround found at: http://indesignsecrets.com/hotfix-corrects-arial-narrow-problem-on-windows.php
Pointed browser to: http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=956514&kbln=en-us
Downloaded hotfix "2007 Microsoft Office System".
Ran hotfix.
Searched hard disk for adobefnt*.lst and deleted all files found.
I performed these steps and still had no results. I tried a few things, but the following steps are what finally resolved the issue:
Navigated to the Windows\Fonts folder.
Selected the following files and did Edit/Copy
Arial (TrueType)
Arial Bold (TrueType)
Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)
Arial Italic (TrueType)
Arial Narrow (TrueType)
Arial Narrow Bold (TrueType)
Arial Narrow Bold Italic (TrueType)
Arial Narrow Italic (TrueType)
Navigated to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Fonts
Did an Edit/Paste to paste the fonts into that folder.
(There was a file there called AdobeFnt11.lst; apparently it wasn't found in the global search on my hard disk, so I just deleted it.)
Navigated to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
Did an Edit/Paste to paste the fonts into this folder as well.
For some reason I had to paste the new fonts (applied in the hotfix) into both of the folders above before it would work.
Anyway, for what it's worth, this resolved the issue on my PC.

Problems displaying and editing long documents on small pages sizes

Problems displaying and editing long documents on small page sizes
I read this problem have called with the helpdesk they didn't know the solution but how can I find the solution:
In Pages 09, I can't scroll down andand click on text to edit it!! All the mouse will do is draw gray transparentboxes and not place the cursor in the text. Again, like the display problem, itdoesn't happen at the beginning of the doc, but starts showing up around 50 to60 pages in ... I can't select text at the bottom of pages ... at 50 pages, thecursor can be clicked into anyplace on a page. Further and further down, the unselectablearea on any particular page creeps up from the bottom line by line: at 175pages in the unselectable area is 12 lines high; at 360 pages in theunselectable area is 25 lines high. and finally at around 440 pages down, Icannot place the cursor anywhere on any page all the way to the end of thedocument.
I have Page versie 4.1

What you get was described here several times.
As we are end users like you, we can't change the app behavior.
Under 10.6.8 you have the buttons allowing you to scroll one line up or one line down.
Under Lion they are no longer available.

Mr Magoo has problems with the small font print in the "Everything Mac" man

Well thanks to a one year no payments offer by my local Future Shop i purchased the iMac 3.0.6GHz.
However the "Everything Mac" manual and other enclosed printed documents are printed in extremely small fonts.
Is there a download site for a pdf version which may allow me to print or view the instructions in larger print.
Lordy, SteveJobs must have extremely good vision.

If you find a PDF copy such as this http://manuals.makeuseof.com.s3.amazonaws.com/the-mac-manual.pdf - open that in Safari and zoom to your heart's delight.
As well, go to System Preferences/Universal Access and see if any options there help out.
And finally, if you also have the new Magic Mouse, simply hold down on the Control Key on your keyboard and 'scroll' with one finger fore/aft on the mouse top to zoom with ease.
Good luck and any case and enjoy your new Mac.
Just a note....be sure that manual is current with the OS version on your new computer - things have changed in many ways and if you're learning, you should learn in sync, etc.

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.

Images should grow or shrink when the user chooses a larger or smaller font size in ADE.

Hi All,
I use percentage values (in "width" attribute within "img" element) for image that should grow or shrink when the user
chooses a larger or smaller font size. The adjustment affects not only the size of the text but also images but the images
are getting distorted or blurred when user chooses larger font size in Adobe Digital Editions.
Can anyone, please guide me; how to get non-distorted and non-blur images in epub package?
If I directly use images, without svg format i.e. png or jpg files, then images get overlapped on body-text in two column display in ADE.
OR
if I directly use jpg or png with width attribute varying in percentage value then image shrinks and grows as user chooses smaller and larger font size but the problem of distorted image remains as it is
<div class="media-group"><img src="images/pa0000016g26001.png or jpg" alt="Image" width="60 or 70%" /></div>
Attached is the package (Book.epub) which has test cases.
========================================================
Please find below sample coding used in attached epub package;
In XHTML:
<div class="media-group"><img src="images/pa0000016g26001.svg" alt="Image" width="100%" /></div>

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.
