QuickLook: How to make QuickLook preview fonts bigger?

Hi
I have to preview an EPS header frequently the way as I need (drag an EPS on TextEdit icon and it will show an EPS header in text format), so I've asked one guy to write me a QuickLook plugin for to speedup my work. The plugin works perfect except one thing. Default font size in QuickLook for a text file are to small, it's hard to see anything on my screen.
Is there any way to change default font size in QuickLook?
Thank you in advance guys!

Changing the DPI to 120 won't affect the font size of the menu bar in the Editor. See this FAQ for what happens when you change the DPI:

Make document preview icons bigger

how can I make document preview icons bigger? They were MUCH bigger in Leopard. Can hardly get an idea of them now

Are you referring to the icons shown in folders?
If so, their size is adjustable. To do that, with a folder open and active and set to Icon view, open View Options from the View menu. There is a slider in there which you can use to adjust the size of the icons.
Alternatively, go to the View menu and select Show Status Bar. This will add a small area at the bottom of the folder's window which will display some info about hard drive space, and will also contain a slider - this slider will adjust icon sizes.
To adjust icon sizes in folders set to List or Cover Flow views, open View Options for the folder - there is a small choice of sizes, little and big.
There is no adjustment for icon size in Column view.

How to make firefox render fonts as google-chrome does? (screenshot)

How do I make firefox render fonts as google chrome does as shown in screenshot? (Chrome below and firefox above)
Notice for instance the dash "/", "Explore", "Features" etc and the text at the bottom "added git_fixes".
I'm no expert but is it antialiasing that makes the difference? Cause it seems the font is the same, right?
.Xresources
Xft.dpi: 120
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdlight

I have ttf-win7-fonts installed, and also recently I've installed Infinality (haven't configured it, necessary?).
Advice appreciated.

well in firefox you can chose your font and then unclick the let sites chose there own fonts.
ya looking at your picture I do see the diff. but I do not have that pixelation in my firefox.
.Xresources has nothing to do with gtk
I do want to let sites choose their own fonts though.
When I look closely on my screenshot I wonder if it's even the same font though (the "3" looks very different).
Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
If I force firefox to use Arial, it looks good. If I set it to Helvetica which seems to be the font used, it looks like in the screenshot - pixelated.
$ fc-match helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
Seems it doesn't use truetype (helvetica.ttf?) as default font for helvetica - shouldn't it?

How to make a fixed font thinner

Hi there.....
I use a font that's specially made ( see att ).....Does somebody know how to make this font some thinner ?
Thankxxxxx.
See you,
Chabby

If you want to keep the font live for future work you can make new thinner versions using an application like FontLab Studio or Fontographer.
If it's just a question of making a single word thinner you can often get away with outlining it, giving it a stroke, expanding the stroke and then subtracting the stroke from the fill with Pathfinder. Try this using a white stroke so that you can judge how heavy the stroke needs to be. This isn't a perfect solution, but like I say, you can sometimes get away with it as long as the stroke is not too heavy.

How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs are so uniform.
It began as a way for me to address a need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as all other fonts of its ilk.
To address that I wrote a script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document, looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
Each of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
-- This script changes the baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
-- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values, giving
-- the text a much more organic look and feel.
-- Written by Warren Ockrassa, http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
-- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
-- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with larger
-- or more complex files.

For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of myText)
you'd do something like
repeat with thisWord in (words of myText)
As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.

How to make my exported movie bigger?

When I export my finished project as a QuickTime, the video canvas becomes REALLY small for some reason. Also, there is a huge black border around the entire video. Is there a format that will prevent that?

Chicken5 wrote:

In case, you're a Motion beginner (as me), popular mistake is:
the Project window is set by default to 100% - but that little 'hole' of the Project window on your screen is showing only a part of the 100% ... when adding a video, the video looks 'too big', you grab the handles to make it fit to Motion's Project window - but that is wrong! now, on export, it's a tiny stamp inside black borders.
to avoid that, set your Project Window in M5 to 50% ... NOW you see the WHOLE project on preview ... and you don't do wrong re-sizings.

[SOLVED] How to make small MS fonts antialiased?

I have the ttf-vista-fonts package installed because I like fonts like Calibri. However, at font sizes under 15 pt, that font (and one or two others in the set) gets rendered without antialiasing on, which really grates on the eyes considering that the other fonts on my system are antialiased at that size. To make matters horrendously worse, anytime a ligature occurs in the text ("tt", "fi", etc.), those letter pairs are antialiased! I copied the calibri TTF files over from a Windows installation and they are indeed the same files as on Windows, where it antialiases all the way down to 8 pt and possibly lower. From this I know it's something in my configuration.
What in my configuration is making this happen and what do I have to change to make this font antialias all the way down? Something in my fonts.conf maybe?

Calibri has embedded bitmaps; this drove me nuts too. The easiest thing to do, depending on your current DE/WM, is to add the following lines to your ~/.fonts.conf

Check out my fonts.conf for more info. Websites like http://codinghorror.com used to look horrible before this fix.
Thank you, this quick little snippet totally did the trick. And actually, Coding Horror was one of the places where I was constantly bugged by this in the recent past.

The easiest method is to type Command + and that will make make the image larger. However you can also go to System Preferences - Displays and adjust the display resolution too. Finally, you can use Mavericks zoom capabilities as explained in:

How to make a fixed font thinner in Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to create a thin vershion for a font.
but with not much of secsess.
dose anyone have any idea?
The ofset option is not doing it well.
Thanks

Well, you could just read up on type design? Simply insetting the outlines will never work. That's the whole point why fonts need to be designed properly for different weights based on typographic rules and measures. For the most part you will have to re-draw your letters with a constant line weight and compensating e.g. for things like the span of arches and diameters of holes changing as wel las naturally all the spacing/ kerning. It's not that simple like taking an existing font and eroding it...
