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.

I have also tested the application in some PCs with Windows and the visualization problems are significantly lower.

    I don't really know what that means, but trying to fix an issue with code that has that many errors is something like chasing your tail. If you fix the validation errors, there is a pretty good chance it will clear up your problem.
    Something else about correcting validation errors, once you fix one, revalidate the page, because many times errors have a cascading effect that cause other errors.

  • Fireworks having problem displaying fonts?

    I'm using Fireworks MX 2004 and have found that several fonts are displaying incorrectly in that only the botom half of each letter is displaying.
    I've looked at the font file and thats fine, tried it in other applications such as flash, word, powerpoint where it's absolutely fine, so am guessing its a fireworks problem. Tried reinstalling the font, but cant seem to work out whats causing the problem. They are all .ttf files.
    Any suggestions? been scratching my head over this one for days.
    Thanks

    Another workaround I've done in that situation is to add a small character (such as a period) above, below, or to the side of the character I want, separated by a considerable amount of whitespace. I'll try to get the periods off my canvas or to an area where I can cover them with a solid color rectangle. It's a silly solution, but I can usually get it to work.
    Or! If you don't have areas of solid color, you could still add the periods and white space, then apply a vector mask to the object so that only the desired character shows. (Wish I'd thought of this idea before today. Would have saved me a bunch of stupid rectangles! )

  • Display font problem after synchronization

    On my handheld device, i have both Chinese and French appointment. When I did a hot sync. to my new netbook with window 7 Starter and Palm Desktop by Access, v6.2.2. All the Chinese font become "?" and all the French accent, ie "ç" and "é" became "?".
    Is there a way to change the font setting on Palm Desktop by Access?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    I figured out the problem. Mavericks comes with Fontcase. I had dumped Fontcase long ago and went to a different font management program. The conflict was between those two programs. I had to get rid of my third party progam to make the display font in any browser and some other programs to work correctly. 

  • 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.

  • Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6.

    Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6.  Got this error message in Console:

    Thanks but I searched and searched there.  Nothing listed that addresses this issue.  Am I the only person to upgrade to 10.6 and have a problem with seeing type in Word afterwards?  Does anyone understand what the error message means?

  • Strange display fonts in Safari...

    What would account for fonts not displaying correctly in Safari? Sometimes sections of a web page appear as jumbled, random characters. Often, it will only be headlines, while the body copy displays correctly. I have my display fonts set to Helvetica and the Encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1).
    Does this have to do with a conflict of another Helvetica with the System Helvetica dfont?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Actually I tacked on to this thread because the symtom was the same. I have very few fonts installed.
    in Classic's /System Folder/Fonts:
    - Chicago
    - Courier (Type 1)
    - Geneva
    - Helvetica (Type 1)
    - Symbol (Type 1)
    - Verdana
    In /Library/Fonts: None
    In /System/Library/Fonts:
    - Keyboard.dfont
    - LastResort.dfont
    - LucicaGrande.dfont
    - Monaco.dfont
    - Some Asian fonts
    In ~/Library/Fonts
    - MS PMincho.ttf
    - MT Extra
    - QuickBooks Fonts
    - Monotype Sorts
    - MS Gothic.ttf
    - MS Mincho.ttf
    - MS PGothic.ttf
    Finally, via Suitcase, I have enabled:
    - Arial
    - Arial Narrow
    - Times
    - Times New Roman
    - Courier New
    But I've worked like this for a couple of years, with this small start-up set, then enabling what I need in Suitcase, as disabling fonts is key to my work, and I've not had this problem before, even when duplicates existed. I had some VPN and BlueTooth bugs I could not fix, so I backed up my system, reinstalled, and then had the font problem. (But VPN and BlueTooth work okay.)
    Additionally, the HTML tags PRE and ADDRESS also give the garbage results, even though the typical default for these is Courier New, and it's enabled.

  • Display font in Photoshop (menus, tools, etc)

    I've been searching for two days for a way to increase the display font size in CS4 (WIndows 7). In the process, I found that the same problem exists in Cs5. I am using a 21" monitor in its native resolution and would go blind trying to see the menus and the tools.
    1. Once again, does anybody know if it's possible to increase the font size?
    2. If it is not possible, I have to say that I find the programmers at Adobe to be incredibly lacking sensitivity: not everybody has the eyes they had at 17
    Oliver

    You can change the size of the menus by using Windows Color and Appearance>Advanced Appearance Settings under Menu.
    This however is a global windows setting which means all the programs will be effected.
    One thing is that cs4/cs5 will have bigger menus but unlike previous photoshop versions i.e cs3 the menu title will not change.

  • 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.

  • Display font changes

    It may be coincidence, may be not.But since about the time of the update to ff22I have been having a small problem with a page display.
    I automatically "save page as" with the web page html only save setting each night. When I load the saved page, the font initially displays correctly but after loading, it changes to a different and much smaller font from the original display. It seems to do this on several different machines so I was wondering if it may have to do with the update.
    The page is http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-dividends.html?mod=topnav_2_3000#dividendsB

    Saving it as "webpage complete" seems to load correctly, however it does generate a few errors about some *.js files not being found.
    "C:\temp\Display font changes _ Firefox Support Forum _ Mozilla Support_files\ga.js could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
    Try again later, or contact the server administrator."
