Puzzled about fonts

In a listing of these fonts one is white and not orange like the others.
When I click (high light) on the orange fonts they get an orange dot.
When I click (high light) on the white font the orange dot does not appear.
All the fonts display perfect on the screen and on the printed page.
Does anyone know why this one font is white and why it doesn't shoe the orange dot when clicked (high lighted)?
Thanks

Have you done a Command-I on the font and checked to see if an orange label has been applied to the font? Sounds like that may be the case...

X-post: Puzzled about RMI

Folks, yes I am cross posting this so try to keep the flames down :) I've also placed it on the RMI forum but no one there seems to want to help and I know everyone in the "Advanced" forum are very helpful (do you like the flattery???).
Anyway, I'm just playing with RMI now and have followed the tutorial but I am a little puzzled about some behaviour I'm observing. This may be that I am missing a piece of information about RMI or how it works so if anyone can fill in the blanks then I would be most appreciative!!!
So I've got the following Remote interface definition:import java.rmi.*;
public interface RMIInterface extends Remote
    public int getValue () throws RemoteException;
    public void setValue (int val) throws RemoteException;
}And I have some code that implements that interface. This code also contains a main method that performs some stuff with the RMI object. It is given below:import java.rmi.*;
import java.io.*;
public class RMIObject implements Remote, RMIInterface, Serializable
    private int value = 0;
    public int getValue ()
                         throws RemoteException
     return this.value;
    public void setValue (int    val)
                          throws RemoteException
     this.value = val;
    static public void main (String argv[])
     try
             // Create the object.
         RMIObject o = new RMIObject ();
             // Bind it in.
         Naming.rebind ("//localhost/RMIObject", o);
             // Now get a reference to the object from the name server.
         o = (RMIObject) Naming.lookup ("//localhost/RMIObject");
             // Set the value to 100.
             o.setValue (100);
             // Print out the value.
         System.out.println (o.getValue ());
             // Get ANOTHER reference to the object.
         o = (RMIObject) Naming.lookup ("//localhost/RMIObject");
             // See what the value is.
         System.out.println (o.getValue ());
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace ();
}As you can see, I bind the object, then get a new reference to the object, set a value then get the reference again and see what the value is.
The output I get from this code is:
100
0
Which indicates that setValue is working when the reference is local but it's not updating the remote object. Now the question is, is this the way that RMI is supposed to work? i.e. should you NOT use RMI objects for holding state? If so what's the point because effectively the object would be isolated...can anyone shed any light on this?
BTW, I am NOT a student and this is NOT related to any exam/coursework question!!!

Easy folks...my reference to my potential student status was supposed to be "tongue-in-cheek", tis been a LONG time since I could get up when I want and pretend that I was really overworked and complain that I had too many assignments...
Now of course I am overworked and have too many assignments...least I get paid now...
Thanks for the help on this, I like to understand the mechanisms behind things, RMI from the outside has an appearance of "magic" that annoys me, I wasn't able to find out any description of how it actually works behind the scenes. I had to infer that it acts as a "broker", I presume that the RemoteObject object stores some information about where the JVM that actually holds the object is and then the Client uses this information (again behind the scenes) to get a connection.
This tends to worry me a bit though, the implication is that each object that is exported also contains a ServerSocket on a particular port that listens for incoming requests. Now I would presume that when it gets the request it then creates a new thread to handle it to prevent IO blocking. Now in a highly utilized system this means a lot of threads and a lot of port access, which is o.k. but that's a big use of resources. Also, if I have 2 objects listening on the same port, how does the JVM distinguish between the 2 objects when the incoming connection is received. The OS will wake up the JVM and inform it of a new connection (at least that's how Unix does it), but does the JVM have some "magic" that allows it to send it to the correct ServerSocket? I suppose that you also need to take into account Thread concurrency issues as well since you are (by definition) creating objects that will be multi-threaded...
Can anyone enlighten me on some of the above? Are there any books around that describe how RMI actually works...

Hi!
Naming.lookup(..) actually returns a local reference to the server's stub object (which is locally present in the RMI client's machine). This stub takes care of the remote method invocations. Actually I don't understand how could you do the typecasting to the RMIObject but this is not really important right now!
Let's see what happened in your example:
First you registered your RMIObject in the registry.
Then you retrieved a remote reference to it (a local stub, which implements the remote interface of the server object) and you set some variables of it.
Then you retrieved again that stub (the java system probably instantiated an other stub object) and its variables were initialized also.
This is not the way as the RMI should be used!
The Naming.lookup(..) method always returns a Remote interface (if it can, or throws a RemoteException). This return value must be typecasted to the server object's Remote interface (in your example it's RMIInterface).
Then you can use this object's (interface's) methods as you want to. (actually you use the stub object's methods which converts your calls to remote calls...)
I hope it's clear now,
Sany

Puzzled about filters for phones.

I am very puzzled about the filters for the phones. I have three cordless phones so made sure I had three filters to use with my phones for the broadband.
I put one filter on the incoming phone line with the cordless with the ansaphone ..... and then plugged the other two cordless into the electric supply and realised I couldn;t put a filter on them .... so was stumped. But the broadband is staying connected when calls are being answered.
I thought I had to have a filter on each phone being used. Sorry if its a bit garbled... but I'm trying to explain it the best way I can.
Di
Solved!
Go to Solution.

very simple really as they are cordless phones and as they operate wirelessly only the main phone unit is connected to the phone line the other two phones do not need filters

I'm puzzled about ldd and "/usr/lib/../lib"

I'm building my own custom linux distro, and I'm puzzled about why 'ldd /usr/bin/gobject-query' shows "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so.6" instead of "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libffi.so.6". Archlinux is the host system for building base packages to set up chroot and rebuild them again inside. When building glib2 outside chroot I get "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libffi.so.6". Building it inside chroot ldd shows "libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/../lib/libffi.so.6". I know that it's harmless and only a cosmetic issue, but I want to know why there is two dots and how to fix this somehow.. Anyone expert on this matter?

What's in your /etc/ld.so.conf ?
Here's mine (Gentoo):
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/lib64
/usr/lib64
/usr/local/lib64
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
Arch:
# /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
# End of file
As you can see, Gentoo's ld.so.conf is more interesting. Running "ldd /bin/bash" outputs:
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeac4ea000)
libreadline.so.6 => /lib64/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007f118f80b000)

I even used cairo,libxft,... - hacks "-ubuntu", but my issue was still there Now I have clean that packages, without "-ubuntu".
I've copied TTF fonts from W7 into my Arch.
I have up to date system under Gnome 2.28.
Sorry for my gramma

Gen2ly wrote:adding a whole slew of things probably not doing much good
Now, why on Earth would I do that? Think I'm creating this file at random?? I'm continually testing and refining the rules. The purpose of the rules is to compensate for fontconconfig's inability to do such tweaking automatically. The end result is that fonts look better - I'm surprised that I need to point this out, it should be blatantly obvious.
hintslight should be used until the mid or up to the upper 100dpi range
That's meaningless by itself, you must include pixelsize in the equation. The majority of Microsoft's fonts, as well as various other fonts, actually look better when small using hintfull.
is a hack... Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Well, yeah, of course, it would be great if fontconfig did all the tweaking for us - but it doesn't. Fonts vary greatly, so fontconfig needs to be told the best ways to render various fonts, at various sizes/weights. You don't seem to understand this point, judging by this and your other posts regarding fonts - same as skottish, IIRC. Don't you guys have eyes?
Anyway, here's my current ~/.fonts.conf, which continues to be improved.

Orientation about font size

Hi:
This is my first post in this forum. I have this doubt. I start to create my first magazine, and I want to know what it's the right font size, or the most recomended size. When I add a text frame, I choose Arial at 10pt size. I have a 17'' laptop with 1366x768 and when I create a PDF I can read normally, but I wonder if this font size is the appropriated for a regular magazine. By the way I use InDesign CS5 and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bits.
Would you be good enough to suggest me a regular font size?
That's all.
Please, sorry about my grammar.
Regards from Lima, Perú

Hi Maria,
As Peter mentioned, font sizes (and fonts in general) are very relative. Having worked in publications and signage, myself, here are a few recommendations that I would have:
- 11pt is usually a good starting point for something like a magazine (12pt can seem slightly too big, and 10pt can get a bit small - depending on the font)
- Serif fonts are better for reading in a printed format (in general)
- Sans-serif are better for reading in a digital format (in general)
Fonts are really part of a much larger discussion (I've been a designer for 10 years and still learn something new about fonts almost every week). If you have any other questions or need more in-depth advice, just keep letting us know.

About Font Substitution

If a font is used by the writer of a PDF and the viewer's PC does not have that font, what happens?

Hi,
Either Reader tries to substitute the misisng fonts with the nearby sub font, or you would see a row of dots appears in the lines of text that contain the missing symbol.
Please refer to the link to learn more about the Fonts in PDF files. http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/fonts
Hope this helps !!!
Regards,

What do I need to know about fonts?

Can anyone explain what I need to know about using fonts on a MacBook Pro running Leopard, or point me to a good reference or tutorial? I've never paid much attention to fonts in the past, as I only use a few in print (Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, etc.), and I never did much with fonts in my graphics work. But I want to take a closer look at fonts and start experimenting with them. Looks like a surprisingly big topic.
On my PC, I was limited to how many fonts I could display by memory. As I understand it, there's no such limit on a Mac running Leopard.
I encountered references to fonts when I installed Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office for Mac, so I need to figure out how to manage fonts, then go back and check the installation disks again.
Right now I have three font folders in username > Library: FontCollections, Fonts (empty) and Fonts Disabled (empty).
I also need to learn about the different kinds of fonts (e.g. True Type, etc.) and how/where people obtain them, though that's probably beyond the scope of this thread.
But before I do any more research via Google, I'd like to narrow the field a bit. I was hoping someone could give me a basic overview or point me to a good reference. What software do you use to manage fonts on a Mac, and do you have any basic tips to offer?
Thanks.

A really basic question about fonts in InDesign

I'm new to the world of graphic design and teaching myself through trial and error and Lynda. One of my biggest problems in designing my project is selecting fonts. There are about four million, two hundred twenty two thousand, six hundred, and seven .2 fonts in the world, and seeing an 8 point version of "Sample" just doesn't do it for me.
I am reluctant to apply every font in turn to my text to see what it looks like. When searching the web, fonts displayed in 20 point glory, require at least a download, if not a credit card transaction as well. Am I missing some obvious panel that makes managing font selection easier. Perhaps a secret preference that could at least group fonts by family instead of alphbetically?
Please help before I go blind. My eyes are starting to cross.
Thanks! in advance for your help.

Oh Steve there's a better way to see that type live, no black highlight.
From InDesign Secrets -
Select the text frame with the Direct Select Tool, than click within the character panel; use the kb arrow keys, up/down, to see the type change live.

Tiger becoming more picky about fonts?

Background: I have a lot of fonts installed. It would not surprise me at all to learn that some of them are defective.
I have not, however, installed any very recently. Suddenly, the System and Console logs were full of complaints about bad fonts being detected. Using Font Book to identify problematic fonts and placing those in quarantine has stopped the error messages, but I wondered why the fonts should suddenly be an issue when they were not before? It isn't linked to attempts to use those fonts or anything like that, and the errors showed up in all kinds of applications. It just seemed odd that the system would suddenly notice issues.
I'm also sure it is not due to the fonts being corrupted. Many of these are also installed for use by LaTeX and the copies there seem to be the same as the copies in the main font folders. It seems unlikely that those copies would have been corrupted in just the same ways as the main system copies.

Thanks. Here's what I tried:
1. used Font Book to validate fonts & moved all those it found errors in to another directory (so they don't show up in Font Book now and are effectively disabled)
-> error messages stopped
2. used Font Book / manually resolved duplicates (I have one remaining duplicate which isn't actually a duplicate - not sure what to do about that)
3. disabled a great many fonts in Font Book (but all fonts in /System/Library/Fonts are enabled and all Apple supplied fonts in /Library/Fonts are enabled)
-> thought problem was solved
-> errors reappearing in logs but are Spotlight-specific e.g. "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metada ta.framework/Versions/A/Support/mdimportserver: Unable to use font: no glyphs present." etc.
-- I'm wondering if Spotlight is running into errors because it is also trying to index the problematic fonts which I'd moved out of the Fonts folders...?
4. use Font Book to validate fonts
-> no errors or warnings in Font Book but I see several errors in the system log file such as '/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks /ATS.framework/Versions/A/Support/FontValidator: "pathtofontsfolder/Fonts/_MS-Fonts/Batang.ttf" contains localized PostScript name.'
Suggestions and/or insight welcome!

Am I missing something about font management in OS X?

Hi all,
I figure I must be missing something ... all I want is for my fonts (managed using FontAgent Pro) to appear as families within apps - just like Type Reunion made them do in OS 9.
But for some reason I can't seem to achieve this ... surely it's possible.
You know the deal - scroll down the font list in any app, see the name of the family you want with a sub menu showing the styles available in that family.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Hi Thing_9,
Well, I can tell you that you won't find any improvement in Photoshop CS2. I haven't upgraded my other CS apps, but I'd be surprised if they were any different.
Whether or a program displays fonts by family group depends on how the app was written. I know what you mean about Type Reunion. That was a great little app that took care of the problem even if the applications you were using didn't themselves. You Control: Fonts is the only OS X app I've heard of that can do what you're looking for, but doesn't work for all programs.

New to apple, question about font sizes on show bookmarks pages

Former windows user, trying to get used to this beautiful new imac! When I am on the safari page, in the show all bookmarks page, the font is so small, and buttons to increase the size are disabled on the page! I know there must be a way to make the print bigger but how?
Thanks to all.. I think I'm learning more from reading these forums than with all the help pages.

Very sound advice (as always) Barry.
I (very briefly) considered offering the Terminal/Defaults route, but thought that Safari Enhancer was the lesser of two evils. Safari Enh does not need to be kept running after changes (like the bookmark font size) are made. & I believe most of it's functions within Safari are made by simply altering the plist file - so getting back a default configuration is very simple.... just reset safari.
keveliz : Barry's is good advice. I wouldn't put safari enhancer in the " ...here be dragons" or 'addicted to haxies' class myself... because it's just a program that you run & close afterwards - it doesn't carry on, (possibly) brewing trouble in the background.
I haven't been using Apples even a year now - but pc's & 6502 / 6800 & onwards micros since err, 1980..... & fwiw I personally think safari-enh is much safer than most 3rd party fixers ( which isn't saying much! - so Yep, I'd recommend it based on my usage )- there's good support, a useful discussions forum; although previous versions ( presumably sorted now?) could be annoying due to setting non-std options that you hadn't specifically checked - a problem if you're just starting & you wouldn't know what was a default setting & what wasn't.
None of which is intended to disagree with Barry's note of caution - be careful out there.

Question about font folder (user library)

I know there are system fonts you are not supposed to delete so that your computer operates. But is it okay to trash my font folder (in the user library) and bring over fonts off my external that I will use? I just want to make sure I am not deleting any vital fonts! Aren't those under the HD's font folder anyway? I am trying to trim down the number of fonts I have! Thanks.
