Problem with fonts

When copying and pasting text from PowerPoint into a new
slide in captivate the fonts do not always hold.
I have also created a text caption and typed in text,
selected the text, applied the same properties as the text copied
from PowerPoint and the font does not look the same when viewed in
the browser. Some of the text appears muddy, it looks more like
text created in an art package.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, is there a work
around? Thanks.

Hi kyliemarie1
I've always been a proponent of first pasting copied text
into good old Windows Notepad, then copying from there to paste
into applications. This strips away any formatting that may confuse
issues with the destination application.
As for what you are seeing with your distortion, pretty much
everything you see in Captivate ends up as bitmapped images after
it's all said and done and you produce a .SWF. Here's the trick. If
you simply plop the .SWF on a server and just link to it instead of
creating an associated HTML page and linking to the HTML page, you
will indeed see distortion occur. This is because the browser
shrinks or stretches the .SWF to accommodate the space. And because
these are bitmap images in Captivate, any time you shrink or
stretch a bitmap image, the quality suffers as a result.
The workaround? Don't ever link directly to the .SWF.
Instead, create a .HTM page and link to it instead.
Cheers... Rick

  • Problem with font size, not showing up as expected.

    I've been wrestling with this for a few weeks now, but surely must be getting closer to having it resolved. It's just a problem with font size on just this one page.
    http://www.kgngroup.net/logos_and_packaging.html
    I want the body text to be 10px, but after two weeks, have played with every conceivable way, altering body font size in CSS and in the document itself. I've viewing it in Safari but others on Windows machines tell me that it is out of whack also.
    My main problem is that I can change the font size to extremes but it still shows up as the same size in the browser (about 12px.) I know changes can be made because I can modify the wording and that does change online. It's just a problem with the font size. Oh, and in the third column, the one to the right, in Dreamweaver, the font looks like it is miniscule, cannot even be read, but in the browser, since the style11 is applied, all three columns look equal size.
    Not sure where to go from here. I just want to get the body font down to 10 pixels.
    TIA,
    Ken

    I guess this a follow up to your earlier thread

    What would really help you in diagnosing issues such as this is to install the Firebug add-in for Firefox (as suggested in the earlier thread).
    Firebug shows you visually what CSS rules apply to whatever element you click on the screen.
    In this case, you have a confusion of CSS font sizes cascading on top of each other and that's confused again by mixing units for no real reason. .style11 is unnecessarily applied to lots of individual <p> tags. Remove those classes and delete the rule.
    e.g.
    The tiny font in the RHS column is affected first by
    .style8 {
    font-size: 0.5em;
    affecting the <td> then by
    .style11 {font-size: 75%}
    affecting the <p> tag.
    End result = tiny text (approx 2px).
    In these cases of mass confusion, my approach is to strip out all font sizing from the CSS and start over.
    Avoid %. Use px.
    Apply font sizing rules logically starting from the <body> tag downwards.
    That'll give you a solid baseline without weird effects.
    Ah, I find your answer worth repeating.
    Very cool that you have diagnosed so well and spelled it out here.
    I will get the Firefox add-on you mention, plus, print out this response and follow it like a recipe.
    It makes perfect sense and you have saved me from the 'clutter' of being wound up in too many directions with this because I could not make all of the connections that you have done here. I appreciate your help very much.

  • Workflow 2.6.3.5  - Problems with font in OA

    I have some problems with fonts in Oracle Workflow: i created a process in wf builder and a package that start the process..in the package i put a text body for the notifications with 'b' and '/b' but when i read the notification in workflow manager i cant see the bold font!! Anyone can help me?? I suppose that this problem is linked with HTML code that has to be set in some preferences menu, but i cant find it..but it may be another reason!
    Another problem that i have is that i cant disable the history window in the notification (even adding to the message the attribute #HISTORY)..
    THX for your help

    1. I am unable to understand the first problem. Please note that if you want to display HTML formatted content, you will have to use one of the following options.
    PLSQL Documents - 32K size limit
    PLSQLCLOB Documents - CLOB
    Embedded Fwk Regions - Only in Oracle Applications
    If you are specifying HTML content within Item Attributes that you want to be eventually displayed in the notification the HTML tags could be decoded and displayed as is without formatting.
    2. There is no documented way to disable the Default Action History within the notification body. You may define the Document type message attribute #HISTORY, assign a PLSQL Document API to it and return null from the Document code. This should hide the action history.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

    What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

    Browser Dog, Amy,
    The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
    Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

  • Problem with fonts display in safari and mail ???

    hello !
    sometimes i have problems with fonts display
    safari use a mathematics font instead of my preferences fonts
    i have to copy-paste in a text-editor to see the right font !!!
    i have the same problems sometimes in mail
    is anybody have infos about that problem ?
    thanks !
    p.s. mail version 1.3.11 - safari version 1.3.1

    OS X cocoa apps like Safari and Mail don't like non-Unicode fonts using common names that replace Latin with symbols or other scripts. Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic are common culprits. You need to remove such fonts to solve the problem.

I've found a few others with this problem on the web, but no clear, simple solutions. Anybody got one? I'd really appreciate it!

  • Problem with fonts when reading PDFs

    Hi,
    I have just updated my PC to Windows 7 and Adobe Reader 9.2.
    When I open PDF files I've previously viewed OK they now are shown with Adobe fonts.
    Some always, some may be OK the first time but not subsequently and some don't have the problem.
    I assume the ones that are OK were produced with a different PDF creator package?
    What's changed in Adobe 9/Windows 7?
    Thanks

    Thanks for taking the time to answer Claudio.
    I understand what you are saying but these documents are ones I've been accessing every week for the last year and have only just started getting the problem.
    I also notice that the ones that I don't have a problem with were created with a different program, earlier than the others as the guy who produces them had changed the program he uses.
    If I haven't already said, I have successfully opened one of the problem ones and it was OK, closed it and re-opened it and I get the Abobe font instead of the Times New Roman.

  • Illustrator - problem with font Windsor

    Hello,
    i work on my old PC and now i have brand new PC with clean install Win 7, 64 bit + Adobe Suite CS6 + updates. On old PC i open my graphic with font Windsor with no problem. On new PC in Illustrator i open graphic and program give me info "missing font Windsor-regular". I have same font as my coworker and from same source. But coworker have no problem with missing font Windsor. I have Windsor in Fonts in Windows. My solution i snow: i open graphic document/ i read info about missing font/ Choose Text – Find font – choose font from "system" and replace. Now font is OK and i save this graphic. I reopen this graphic and info about missing font is gone. After this open my coworker same graphic and he has same info about missing font Windsor-regular. So he replace Text from system and save and its OK for him after reopen. I open this graphic again and i have info about missing font . Its so annoying.
    i try font delete and try give font from one source to me and my coworker. Problem still persist. I try at home open graphic with same font from same source and all work fine = font is OK and info about missing font is gone. Maybe the problem is only my PC, but why have my coworker info about missing font after i save the document? maybe i save some bug with font? Pleas give me some clue. Thanks.

    So i today uninstal Windsor font from my PC and delete "Windsor" from registr via regedit + restart PC. After this i install same font from co-worker. The graphic with font Windsor still give me info about missing font. So we check versions of fonts (thanks Rama) and we have different versions! How is this possible? Same source and same font, but different versions. I dont get it, really this is magic :-)
    I have:
    Windsor
    Postscript name: Windsor
    Windows font name: Windsor
    Language: Latin
    Type font: True type
    Type Tsume: none
    co-worker have:
    Windsor-regular
    Postscript name: Windsor-regular
    Windows font name: Windsor
    Language: Latin
    Type font: True type
    Type Tsume: none
    And i go To Windows and with coworker we check in Fonts in Windows Properties by this Windsor Font. We have almost same information, but i have name "WINDSOR_7" and co-worker "WINDSOR_0" and i have change date today 2. July 2014 and co-worker has 8. March 1997. I try rename my "Windsor_7" to Windsor_0, but this give me info that i have Windsor_0 in my PC and this must be Windsor_0 (2). But i have visible in Fonts only 1 Windsor!
    In Total Commander i see:
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDS.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR.fon
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_0.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_1.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_2.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_3.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_4.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_5.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_6.TTF
    c:\Windows\Fonts\WINDSOR_7.TTF
    But i cant delete this fonts. I try, but Total commander give me info: "Remove the write-protection". How? I try Properties by this files in Total Commander, but cant activate. Is this some solution?
    15:31 = now was on my PC IT specialist and he cant delete fonts (as admin) too. Its really some weird problem.

  • Blackberry z10 10.0.10.90 Telstra OS build 10.0.10.69​0 Problems with Fonts

    Hi, I need some help.
    I recently upgraded to 10.0.10.90 after receiving an update prompt.
    I run my font size as 5 and this never was a problem with the menus however i noticed after the upgrade that some text in the menus in the settings are cut off.  like there is an overlap. Can you please advise how to fix it?
    Also some headings dont reduce in size proportionate to the font size as previous.
    please help.

    Hey KelvinHuynh,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Can you provide which setting menus are being cut off?  Also if you change the font to higher size, do you see the menus as per normal?
    I am unable to reproduce the issue, I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Creative Suite CS4: Problems with font managing software

    It seems that there are some issues of the applications of the creative suite CS4 with the font managing software MainType (http://www.high-logic.com/maintype.html).
    With standard settings, CS4 no longer recognizes PostScript Type 1 Fonts loaded by MainType (which did not occur with CS3 and older versions). The only solution so far is this workaround:  Within MainType enable under "Tools -> Options" the option "Copy Type 1 Postscript fonts to Windows fonts folder" and CS4 will load these fonts again.
    This seems to be a bug of CS4. Are there problems with other font managing programs?
    regards
    fabian

    After reading tons of forums about this issue, it does seem to be an issue with CS4 not recognizing fonts the way that CS3 did. Wish they had mentioned that little feature when they released it. They even go as far as to say they do not support certain programs for type handling in Windows. Copying them to the system folder is a workaround, but it is not available easily in programs like Extensis' Suitcase, which is long overdue an upgrade. LinoType beta tested a new application for Windows, but when I sent an email to them asking about the release date for the their final version, their ignorant customer support sent me a link to their website pointing out that it is not yet available, and not answering my initial question of when.
    I don't entirely blame Adobe, it seems as though a lot of companies have dropped the ball on this issue, and since many people have Type 1 fonts they've been using for years, they will have to repurchase (if available) those fonts in the newer OTF format which everyone seems to support. OTF is a much nicer format and more portable cross-platform, but it's simply inconvenient to not be able to use all of your fonts at your own discretion easily. I'm not sure what the big deal was with not including support for Type 1 fonts, unless that's most of the reason that the Adobe apps were crashing before... corrupt versions of the fonts they talked us into purchasing, etc... Adobe used to make ATM for managing postscript fonts, but it doesn't work on Vista to my knowledge. It would be nice if they would recommend a font manager other than the Windows system folder.
    I figure Adobe was hoping that it would not be a major issue since their wonderful PDF format has taken hold for printing. Print shops do not have to install fonts before printing a piece anymore. Most people will read in these forums about the loss of support, throw up their hands and shake their heads, but do nothing about it. After all they too probably purchased the CS4 suite without knowing about this issue and have already spent their money. It doesn't look as though it's an issue on the Mac, but by the time you throw $3000 at an entry level Mac workstation and $1600 at the basic adobe apps, that's not a solution either. Especially when you have to go out and buy all new fonts anyhow, since the macs will not support the Windows postscript typeface formats either.
    After doing a little price shopping for typefaces, I'm trying to try to keep using the few OTF and TTF fonts I've purchased since they're still working, since the prices of fonts these days are astronomical. I've installed a few fonts in the system folder, but too many and Acrobat distiller crashes. It's not cost effective to spend all of your income from design on $1600 font family sets, just to make changes to a document where you might have used a postscript face. Especially in this economy... It's another case of the investor getting rewarded for the release of an application and the customer is left holding the bag. Hopefully it's a bug, but not likely. It's probably some mandated decision by the higher ups in Adobe.
    I'm sure larger companies with hundreds of employees probably have site licenses for typefaces in the OTF format, so for them it's not a problem, and since most people using PCs to do design opted for that platform because of the cost issue, Adobe probably doesn't care about them either. Maybe a solution will arise in the future, but it doesn't look likely. You will probably have to get the new formats of typefaces one by one.
