Reading email in a monospaced font, is that possible?

Hello all,
I would like to be able to read formatted text, like small tables, on my iPhone... Of course I will need a monospaced font to do so... Is there a way to change the current font into Monaco or Courier?
Kind regards,
Adam

Thanks Kevin,
Of course it's not 'my email' but the sender's email that needed to be sent in rich text, courier new 8-)
Will try to get that arranged...
Thanks for your reply! Still hope 'plain text' will be possible some day...
Kind regards,
Adam

I want to download pictures from my email straight to my IPad, is that possible.

I have the first version of the IPad without a camera. I would like to download pics from my email to the IPad to then upload to Facebook. I do not think that is possible without using ITunes as a "middle man". So I am wondering if there are any applications that I can download pictures to and then Upload them to what ever I want.

If in Mail you download and view the photo, you should then be able to touch and hold the photo and after a couple of seconds or so you should get an option to save the photo - it will then go into your Saved Photos album in the Photos app. There are then a number of apps that allow you to upload to Facebook e.g. Photogene (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/photogene-for-ipad/id363448251?mt=8#) :
Photogene allows you to export several photos at once, and it supports a wide selection of export destinations, including Flickr, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, FTP and mail.
There may be free apps as well.

Deleting emails on the server..is that possible?

Good Morning:
I have a new iPod touch and 3 (long sad story) email accounts. One is a ,mac account, one is a gmail account and one is a POP account.
I have tried fussing with the settings for two weeks now and I am close to giving up.
I need my iPod Touch to delete the email from the servers when it downloads it or when I delete it from the iPod. It doesn't matter which as long as it does not stay on the server to be downloaded to my computer later as "new" email. I can't seem to make it work that way. No matter what, the email appears on my computer as a "new" email.
I am going to be traveling for over a month and would like to be able to read my email once and not have to sort 6 thousand messages when I get back.
What are the appropriate setting combinations to make this work?
I thought I was a pretty savvy guy, but apparently not.
Thanks for any instructions or help y'all can offer.

I found the answer, not here but by pestering an Apple representative I know. As an aside, he was a bit confused as well. He called in his "team" and we got an answer.
It turns out that even POP accounts are asked when to delete the messages off the server and the Touch treats POP accounts a bit like an IMAP account. If you tell it to remove deleted emails off the server after one day, which is as close as the Touch comes to behaving like a POP account and pulling messages off the server immediately, it will remove them after one day, not immediately, like a typical POP connection.
If I pull email from my POP account to the Touch on Monday morning and delete it on the Touch, it will be there for my laptop to pull and remove from the server Monday afternoon, but by Tuesday, the laptop wouldn't see it. Does that make sense?

How to fix font size that is too small to read on each new page

At Windows XP suggestion, screen resolution is set at 1280 x 1024 in Display Properties. Large fonts and large icons are selected. "Type" size on every new screen that comes up is so small that I can't read it without +++ to zoom in. Seems especially severe on web sites but email and regular applications (word perfect in particular) are also presenting such small font size that reading is very difficult without zooming in on every new page.
What setting(s) adjustments am I missing?
Or should I just disregard 1280 x 1024 suggestion and cut those numbers down?

hey there steffvl & welcome to Discussions,
it sounds as though you may have accidentally placed one of your movies into a Drop Zone... is the time shown for your Menu the the same as one of your movies? depending on the theme, some Drop Zones are hard to differentiate from the part of the Menu Page where you can drop/place movies. take a look @ the Map View for any alert warning symbols in the Menu Thumbnail. if you have dropped a movie into a Drop Zone, just place something else in there & then drag your movie to where it should be on the Menu. i hope it's something this simple.
good luck.

Suddenly, most of my folders that I separate the read emails into dissappeared. How to get back?

In Thunderbird just now most of the folders that I put my read emails into have disappeared. All the old messages are in them . I need them and the folders too. I don't know what I did to make them disappear. Please help. Thanks.

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

there is some font labels that do not appear in adobe acrobat and appear in the reader " appear as boxes" and I need to work with the acrobat can any body help

I don't know if your on a Mac or a PC.
So you need to locate the Font cache file for Acrobat (make sure Acrobat is quit) and remove to Trash/Wastebasket.
and empty. The open Acrobat back up and the font cache file should rebuild. If your on a Mac the simpliest way is use a Utility called fontnuke and have it remove all Font caches.
Font cahces frequently corrupt as they are in constant use. Mayb Windows machines have something similar as Font Nuke.

Recently purchased a Mac and data transfer for e-mails only showed the email preview but does not open up the body of the email or attachments. So I down loaded my inbox, and folders to a thumb drive. this will open correctly on the window pc but the mac is looking for the approriate app to read this data.
Could the Apple store remove down loaded emails and then reload from the thumb drive?

Monospace Font question

I am somewhat new to Oracle forms, i am using 10G so don't shoot me if these are dumb questions.
I want to left align my Prompts on my form but using Tahoma or Verdana the alignment is always off. I fixed it by using a monospace font like Courier but is there a way to get these other more standard fonts to left align properly? (i don't want to right align them)
Courier is not very readable and for the internet most people use Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.
My other question is that if i use a font that is listed in the Oracle Forms Developer will it automatically download them to clients that don't have that font? How does Oracle handle this?

No question is a dumb question. :-)
To left align prompts, you go to the canvas and select the several that you want to align. Then all you do is click the 'Align Left' icon on the editing toolbar at the top of the canvas (or use pull-down Arange, Align Objects, Horizontally-Align Left). If the web display is not left-aligned, you may also need to open the property palette on the items with the prompts, and set the Prompt Alignment property to Start. You should NOT need to fuss with a monospaced font once you do this.
I don't think Forms downloads fonts. Instead there is a font translation process where a font that is similar is selected.
Just a note... I don't use Forms 9i or 10g, only 6i (both c/s and web), so my answer may not be right on.

How to monospace fonts in Illustrator?

I can't seem to find this feature - is it possible to do this in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!

Good responses here, but I just wanted to add in one other solution. This is painstaking but I'm having to do it for a project. I literally need a grid of text. I'd much rather just have a monospace font. Illustrator, if you're listening, a "Force Monospace" option would be excellent for UI designers, puzzle designers, and a lot of other people. People go to illustrator to do the odd jobs that other programs can't do. This feature would be at home here.
The basic idea is to use linked text boxes and flowing text. This will be much easier to do in InDesign, since that program was born to flow text. I find it hard to click the flow button in CS5 and you can't hold option to continue the linkage process like you can in InDesign.
Anyways, details on how to do this below. If you absolutely need a monospace layout of text glyphs, and don't have a monospace font to work with, and need to work in illustrator, this should work. I'm not saying that it will look good or be legible, and I guarantee you'll curse Illustrator because this would be very easy for them to add in as a feature.
1) Click and drag out a rectangular text box. Don't just click and start typing, you need an actual type box.
2) Enter your text and style your text how you want it. Use the increased tracking method, posted above, if you want to see roughly what it will look like.
3) Decrease the tracking so it's 0 after you have everything styled.
4) Add an uppercase M to the beginning of your text. That's typically (no pun intended) the widest character in most fonts.
5) Resize the text box width so all you can see is that first M. You can make it a little wider just to be safe.
6) Drag out a copy of that text box, and delete the text from the new one.
7) Drag out copies of this empty text box. They should "flow" from left to right for English or other left-to-right languages. You should have as many boxes as you have letter in your final text.
8) Link the text boxes: first click on your text box that has your placeholder text. You should see a red overflow [+] sign on the right side of the box. Click that.
9) Click the edges of the next text box and you should see text flow from one box to the next.
10) Rinse and repeat until all your boxes are filled. As you're doing this, you'll have multiple smaller letters filling up smaller boxes. There are two way to solve this:
11A) Hit enter after each character to force the text to the next text box. This is cumbersome.
11B) Increase tracking to a very high number or something that will prohibit two characters from occupying the same box. This is good if you are going to want to edit the type after the fact.
12) Horizontally align your boxes, center your text, and you're done.

Issue about monospace font in Chromium

I don't know why some of the monospace font in Chromium show strangely.
But most of the font is OK. I have tried to modify some configuration in /etc/font/conf.d/*
I failed because I am not familiar with the font configuration. Is there anyone
can give me some advice on the font config? This troubles me a lot and
I have spent so much time to resolve it. Thank you!
I know why... From the CSS of this field, I see this:
.wp-editor-area {
font-family: Consolas,Monaco,monospace;
And I delete Consolas, nothing happened with the font. But I delete Monaco, it look fine.
The font appears like the monospace I set before. It seems that the ttf-monaco affects
this font. How can I configure ttf-monaco? Or I can only remove ttf-monaco to solve the problem.

I have read this wiki, but no matter what I modified. It seems that it only affected other fonts except some certain web pages. I don't know why.
I have suspected whether 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf make it. But I modified this file, nothing happened. That's why I come here to find help.
[EDIT] I tried to change the fixed-width font in chromium, but nothing happened with the font in that field.

[SOLVED] Bold monospace fonts and rendering

Hi everybody,
I chose to use the Inconsolata font (http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html) everywhere I need a monospace font.
However I have an issue with this setup. Since Inconsolata font doesn't have a bold variant, when "bolding" it, it gets rendered with a different width (it's not monospace anymore)
This happens, for example, inside an Eclipse editor or even in gEdit.
I've also noticed that in some applications (e.g., gnome-terminal or x-chat), bold is correctly displayed using the same width of the normal variant.
I've read the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration page and, in particular, the "disable autohinter for bold fonts". I actually don't use the auto-hinter so I tried different configuration but without luck.
Does anyone have an hint for solving this inconsistency?
Thanks.
P.S.: To better understand what I am talking about you can have a look at this image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/85 … olata.png/

If the app doesn't use fontconfig, then changing fontconfig settings won't help
That's clear. But gnome-terminal and gEdit aren't they supposed to use the same backend, i.e., fontconfig?
Because gnome-terminal works fine. gEdit doesn't.
Thanks.

Identify Monospaced Fonts

Hello sir, friends, madam,
I want to identify System fonts which are monospaced. I then have to display the names of such fonts in combo box. I got the list of all system fonts installed on machine using the folloing code.
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames() java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts()
Now I need to check which of them are monospaced. For this I tried doing the following Font.getAttributes(). This method returns a Map contains TextAttributes as key. So I used TextAttribute.FAMILY as a key to retrive the value from the map. But then I am getting other fonts as well, apart from monospaced fonts.
Can anybody suggests whether I am on right track or can anyone provide some alternative to that I can reach the solution ?
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks and Regards
Rohit.

I've never heard of a good way to do this. There don't seem to be any relevant attributes or flags embedded in the fonts themselves, which seems strange, considering how important that property is. The only sure way that I can see would be to create a Font object for each installed font and compare the width of the letter 'i' to that of the the letter 'W' (or equivalents for whatever language you're targetting). You could cache the results, so you wouldn't have to do that every time the font dialog is displayed, but it's still pretty ugly.
Here's a more hackish, but faster approach I found in the l2fprod commons project protected boolean isMonospaced(String fontFamily) {
    String lower = fontFamily.toLowerCase();
    return lower.indexOf("fixed") >= 0 || lower.indexOf("monospaced") >= 0
      || lower.indexOf("profont") >= 0 || lower.indexOf("console") >= 0
      || lower.indexOf("typewriter") >= 0;
}The method can stand a lot of improvement (as written, it fails to spot these fonts from my system: "Andale Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier", "Courier New", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Monaco", and "Monospace 821"), and it would need to be updated every time a new monospaced font comes out, but it still seems like the less painful option to me.

Reading email in a monospaced font, is that possible?
