RH8: Bold Text in Paragraph Appears Heavier in Firefox

Noticed recently that bolded text in a paragraph appears differently in Firefox than it does in IE and Chrome. In Firefox the bold text is heavier. We're creating webhelp output using RoboHelp 8 (8.0.2.208). Note that we have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and re-installed RoboHelp. We also upgraded to Firefox 9. We were not seeing this issue before the upgrades. See example below.
RoboHelp HTML:
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Open Ports</span>. Select to find hosts
with a particular open TCP or UDP port. Enter the port number in the field
provided. You may include up to 10 ports, separating each port with a
comma.</p>
Appears like this in IE and Chrome (matches WYSIWYG and topic preview from RH):
Appears like this in Firefox (heavier bold font):
The paragraph style as defined in the CSS:
p {
font-size: 10pt;
margin-top: 3pt;
margin-bottom: 7.5pt;
font-family: Arial;
Any thoughts on why Firefox looks different? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hi,
Unless you have a style override somewhere where the font weight is set to 'bolder' or '900' or something, it is just the way Firefox renders it. You can use Firebug to check the CSS applied in Firefox. It may very well be that it's just a render thing as different browsers sometimes render things differently. Nothing to do about that.

Bold text appears bold and italic

Hi Folks,
Can anyone please explain why this happens?
In FW when I click the bold text button, the text appears bold but italic aswell.
Thanks in advance

That's unusual. Which version of Fireworks and what operating system are you using?
If you click on the Faux Italic button, is the italic styling removed? (It should be. If not, click twice.) You might want to try quitting and restarting the application—or shutting down and restarting your computer—and see if this takes care of the problem.
FYI: It's generally a better choice to add bolding via the Font Style dropdown menu, if that style is available within the currently selected font family.

Emails appear in bold text (subject and body)

A few days after installing OS X Yosemite on my iMac, all of my Comcast emails appear in bold text (subject and body text). This makes it difficult to distinguish unread email from read email. I view email directly through the Comcast website (NOT with Outlook or Mail). This issue happens in Firefox and Safari. My email looks normal on other devices. I am working with Comcast to try to resolve the issue, but since it started a few days after upgrading to Yosemite, I thought I'd check here too.

Bold text in toc won't display

I've formatted my toc to display titles as bold text but for some reason it will not display all titles as bold text. By the way, it's russian and all lower headings in the screenshot should be bold. I know I have displayed a screenshot for a LOF but it goes for both TOC and LOF. I am aware of the difference in layout methods.
reference page
body page

Hi Peter
The formatting in LOF is applied by selecting the text on the body page and formatting the paragraph tag for the text to be bold. In the TOC it is formatted by doing the same on the reference page.
I haven't produced any form of output yet so I do not know how it is displayed. The program crashes when i want to update the book so I need to look into that first.
I will try your suggestions.
Thanks
Pieter
Hi, Pieter:
You might not think that the different steps you're using to format the generated entries would cause the difference, FrameMaker can have good reason for working differently.
Is there a reason for not formatting the prototype line in the LOF on the reference page, rather than on the body page - the same method you use for the TOC?
When working with FrameMaker's generated files, you need to be keenly aware of which file you're working with. I don't have FrameMaker available at the moment, but I believe it works something like this (it may have changed from older FrameMaker versions to newer ones:)
* When you create a new generated file FrameMaker creates the generated file's reference page and the corresponding reference page text flow; they are named for the kind of generated file, such as TOC, LOF, etc.
* I think the location of the reference page and its flow depend on whether you're generating from a stand-alone file, or from a file that belongs to a book. The reference page and flow may be created in the generated file, or in the source file, but not in both.
* In later FrameMaker versions, I believe the book file is more involved with the processing than in earlier versions. In the more-recent versions, I believe that the output of generated files is taken from the generated-file reference pages and flows in the first file in the book list.
* If there is a generated reference page and its flow in the source file, and also in the generated file, there's a possible precedence conflict over which settings control the output of the generated file. Formatting properties set in the higher-precedence file will be applied, and those in the lower-precedence file will be ignored.
Because the TOC is working correctly, follow the same procedure for the LOF. Verify that there reference page and flow are in the same file that works for the TOC - if the TOC reference page is in the TOC itself, then verify that the LOF reference page is in the LOF file, and verify that there's no LOF reference page in any of the source files in your book. If the TOC reference page is in the first file in the book and not in the TOC, then create the LOF the same way.

Css Bold Text

I would like to apply a css class to make some text bold
within a paragraph.
I have created the class in my .css file and linked it to my
html file, however when i apply it using a <div class> tag
within the HTML file it puts the bold text on a new line.
Is there a way of using css to apply text attributes such as
bold text without putting it on a new line.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Gavin

Just put the text inside a <strong></strong> tag,
as below and make sure
you have a closing </p> tag in your code. You don't in
your example at
the moment.
<p>This is a test bit of text to see if the style sheet
works!<strong>This text should be bold and on the same
line</strong></p>
Alternatively you can use a <span> tag as suggested by
Joe but I see no
point as you have already declared the css for the p tag,
which is the
same for the bold text.
If say you want to alter the colour/size of the bold text
then use a
span tag
<p>This is a test bit of text to see if the style sheet
works!<span
class="colorSizeChange">This text should be bold and on
the same
line</span></p>
.colorSizeChange {
color: red;
font-size: 1em

Format bold text in field and putting some text on new line - Help!

I am lost. I found the rich text formating item to click. But after that, I don't know what to do next. I want to bold some characters and I want some reponses on separate lines as I asked previously. As to spans and the commands - I have no programming experience. I have just been using what George has given me. It has worked well, but I just need the bold text in some of the field text to be printed and I need some items to be on separate lines. But I have no idea where to put the information you are saying about spans and I do not know the script to use to bold text or to start text on new line. Am I to insert it in the calculation box of the text box? Sorry to be so lame, but I am void in programming skills. Help!
For example, here is the script. In aISOreq{0], if I want to bold "Patter#1 Check:", where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to bold it.   Could you give me an example, please. Also, if I want to put "a. Medications on weekend?" on one line and "b. Activities on weekends? Types of activities? Supervision? With who?" on the next line, where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to put on separate lines? Could you give me an example for this also, please. I have literally just used the scripts George has given me and they work great - but that is all I know how to do. Thanks.

Acrobat produces a PDF with bold text redacted

Printing a Crystal Report from a Citrix server to Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 desktop. Bold text in the report is redacted (black box).
If I print the same report from my Windows 7 desktop to Acrobat Pro XI then the bold text appears as it should.

I checked the font used in the Crystal reports (there are hundreds of reports) - the reports use Arial Unicode MS Regular (ARIALUNI.TTF) and the Font embeddability = Editable (whatever that means). The same font is used for bold and normal text - the normal text is fine but the bold text is redacted or blacked out.
At this point I'm out of my area of expertise.
I confirmed with my client that they are using pdfFactory and it works well using the same reports - go figure.
Adobe can't get right with their own PDF files what other parties can

Bold text does not display in internet browsers

I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting <b> </b> tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
Thanks,

The reason it is happening is because the <strong> element is the child of an <em>, the <em> is in turn the child of a <p> tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

Problem with italicizing/underlining/bolding text

When I'm typing notes, press enter and attempt to start a new line with italicized/underlined/bolded text, it's very unreliable. Sometimes it works, most times it does not. The format tab in the bar at the top will briefly flash blue, but nothing happens. I've dealt with the same problem in Pages, and in both iWork '09 and the latest version. I always wind up having to type some text first, then go back and do whatever I want with the formatting, which is a significant waste of time and a major annoyance. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a case of terrible software design on Apple's part?

MX6.0 or 6.1?

IWeb bolded text

Hi,
After a recent upgrade to the latest iWeb, all the bold text in my pages is now showing just as regular text. I cannot figure it out what happend.
Any ideas?
Thanx

It appears to be a browser issue. This is what I get with Safari:
Both Firefox and Chrome don't display the bold in these sections.
Are each of these items:
Apartment: DELTA CITY
Location: New Belgrade
Persons: 4
Size: 42 m²
Rate: 45 € or less
In their own text box?
On the All Appartments page the Details text boxes are floating a bit in Firefox and Chrome. Some are overlapping the info text above. You might try inserting the text box into the text box containing the apartment's information and adding Details to that embedded box. That will prevent the box from floating from the other box.

Bolded font in PDF appears distorted on printing

Hello,
I am currently experiencing a vexing issue that my searching was unable to turn up an answer for. A client has recently revamped their process of sending out PDF invoices and changed some software/settings around (I'm unsure of the exact nature of the changes), and now, although the PDF looks fine on the computer screen, the bolded text is garbled on printing.
I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader, and had a colleague try it (with the same end result) on Adobe Acrobat Pro (also latest version).
It is only the bolded text that appears garbled, the remainder of the text prints fine. The bolded text is still readable, just very bad looking. It looks almost like additional characters were taken and offset as well as angled relative the original. The same thing happens when printing to PDF.
According to Adobe Reader properties, the fonts are "JohnstonITCTT (Embedded Subset)" and "JohnstonMdITCTT (Embedded Subset)." The font is also listed as TT (I believe this stands for True Type). It is my understanding that "Embedded Subset" means that only the subset of characters in use in the PDF is included in the PDF, so that systems that do not have the appropriate font installed will still work fine, in theory.
Any insights you guys would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

The problem also affects the same plots when they are part of a Latex output PDF made with TexShop. I thought this is normal, since Texshop uses Mac's PDF Preview machinery to process.

What version of Pages are you referring to?
Basically if you are talking about the Table of Contents in Pages and want to have different character styles within paragraphs in the T.O.C. you will have to export the T.O.C. and bring it back in as text and change that.

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2, we share one Apple ID, is there anyway to stop her text messages from appearing on my iPhone and vice versa?

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>
