_sans font problem or bug..!?

while using _sans font with 11px, the edge of W is getting cut. But wen i change to 12px or 10px it works fine...
ActionScript Code:
<mx:TextArea id="_txt" htmlText="{txtStr.toUpperCase()}" width="600" height="200" styleName="subSectionTextStyle" />
style
Code:
.subSectionTextStyle{
               font-family: "_sans";
               color: #FF0000;
               font-size: 11px;               
any one can tell me the solution what is the problem with 11px for _sans.

Since installing Snow Leopard, several OpenType fonts I use in important projects have become unusable. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with Snow Leopard's type control UI, or the fonts themselves.
The most important one to me is Canada Type's $120 Ronaldson font family http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/ronaldson/ which I've used for many weeks successfully, relying on the "Rare Ligatures" checkbox in Pages and TextEdit.
In Snow Leopard, I can still view existing documents that were set with the rare ligatures; they render on-screen correctly. But in the Typography popup in both programs, there is no access to these character sets, just the basic font glyphs.
The "Rare Ligatures" checkbox does appear for Hoefler Text, for example. So I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is in Ronaldson (I've contacted the foundry), or with some sort of change in OpenType handling.
It's a pressing concern for me: I need to use this font family in particular. How can I tell whether the font is to blame, or something in the contextual typography dialog?
Open Font Book and use the menu item File > Validate font.
You could also try this: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-fonts-in-leopard-are-crazy-how-do-i.html
I have never tried it in Snow Leopard, though, so I am not sure how well it would work.
To me it is actually surprising that Rare Ligatures ever worked for you. There have been quite a lot of people reporting problems with typographic features and OpenType fonts in Leopard.

  • Does anybody know how to solve this font problem?

    Hello everyone,
    I have had this font problem for weeks now and I can't seem to get it solved. There are a number of fonts that won't load properly in Illustrator, PS, and InDesign. They are loaded in the system, but refuse to show up in the list. I've installed them in the home directory/library/fonts. These are commercial opentype fonts and one homemade opentype font. Sometimes the font that I created will appear, other times it does not, but many other fonts refuse to show up in the font display lists of these 3 software packages.
    I've cleared the font caches with FontNuke, everything looks like it should work properly, but it does not. Also, with Font Book, I've resolved any duplicate font problems. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Is this a known CS4 bug?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the latest Mac Mini and CS4 software.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    How do I check if the fonts have the correct creator and so on?
    Anyway, I've spent the better part of today validating and removing suspect
    fonts. Why does the right click choice for resolve duplicates and the
    validate font behave completely differently in Font Book? I discovered that
    when this is investigated further with the validate font command, I found I
    had a massive amount of duplicates that according to font book cause minor
    errors. I thought that would have been sorted out with the resolve duplicate
    command, instead I ended up check marking and manually removing the fonts
    that had minor errors.
    I still have many commercial fonts plus my own font not showing up in
    Illustrator or PhotoShop. If I copy and paste the font directly into
    InDesign's font folder, my font shows up. I also tried removing my font to
    see if this would fix any of the other problems. It doesn't. I did type in
    my font name in the console dialog box and this message is displayed for
    this font as well as mine and many others.
    10-04-06 5:21:09 PM Font Book[12940] ##### ERROR:  The font system thinks
    the font
    file://localhost/Library/Fonts/Voluta%20Script%20Pro/VolutaScriptPro-Regular.otf
    is active, but the file no longer exists!
    Then I went back to font book to check to see if it is there and it is
    enabled. For my font the caution triangle appears with the multiple copies
    of the font is installed. Resolving duplicates doesn't solve this problem.
    Any ideas of how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

  • Flash Font Problems

    I'm using Flash CS4 and have wasted--over the course of the past 18 months--at least three days of work time trying, in vain, to make Flash fonts work completely consistently.
    Problems: 1) Fonts don't appear after FontAgent activation (must copy to Adobe/Fonts folder), 2) Bits of styled type totally disappear on compile (haven't figured this one out and try to avoid certain faces), 3) and most recently, totally bizarre font display (looks like egg thrown against the wall), which, despite verifying the fonts, replacing them (even though they checked out fine), cleaning the font caches (with Font Finagler, nee Font Cache Cleaner), doing a million restarts and praying, are still screwed up.
    One possible common thread is that these seems to be OpenType fonts. But the errors are totally inconsistent -- for example, the font with #3 above had worked fine for nearly a year before becoming hopelessly destroyed in the past five hours, and only *some* characters in #2 disappear.
    I'm posting here mostly out of frustration, since previous posts on similar issues haven't yielded decent (working) solutions and Googling these problems (ad nauseam) mostly shows people using either different font managers (or none at all) or working with dynamic text. (Mine is static text.)
    But perhaps someone has a definitive resource/recipe for troubleshooting and solving these font problems?
    Or perhaps someone could shed some light on why Adobe uses separate font folders and caches?

    OK, well! It seems that I'm **not** crazy. I just read in TidBITS today that what I saw last week was related to a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7, which apparently fixed some font security problems, but broke something having to do with OpenType fonts. I guess I made the mistake of being on the bleeding edge.
    http://db.tidbits.com/article/12078
    I stick by my general complaint, however. Adobe or some good member of the community should create a definitive resource for understanding and solving font problems in Flash. I've spent a lot of time looking for answers to my questions in Adobe help docs, in questions posted on these forums, and Googling for solutions -- and have seen many, many others expressing my same frustration of wasted time and so-so answers. Since fonts are critical to pretty much every Flash project, this should be information that is **easy** to find.

    Update:
    Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
    change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
    checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
    Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
    font problems as far as i can find.
    Update2:
    Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.
    update3: [SOLVED]
    So i solved the problem.
    The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
    Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
    recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
    open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
    or try to install a fixed one. that should work.
    -Nothing has yielded any working results.
    So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think.  Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.

  • Glitches in address fill-ins with nicknames; default font problem; plus other glitches in Thunderbird 31.3.0 and 31.4.0; can I roll back to an earlier version?

    I am unhappy with the recent upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and now 31.4.0. My bottom line question is whether I can roll back to the previous version, which was working well for me.
    The problems I have encountered include:
    1. I used to be able to enter a single letter in many cases in the address field, and the autocomplete would fill in the entry that I always use with that single letter. That function has been lost, as has auto fill-in based on the nicknames I have entered in my Address Book. I see there is another thread on this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036962), but no satisfactory answer so far. Entering a single letter now pulls up completely unrelated address entries that may not even have that letter as part of the name, address or nickname for that unrelated address. I have created new nicknames to try to adapt to this problem, but even these new nicknames no longer work with the 31.4.0 upgrade yesterday, forcing me to create yet more complex and hard-to-remember nicknames to pull up my frequent addressees. This is all very frustrating to me, as I depend on speed and ease when creating messages.
    2. Also, I used to be able to enter a single letter in the address field and then use the mouse to click on the "To:" symbol to the left of the next address line to change the next entry to "Cc:"; doing so would then cause the complete address to fill in in the "To:" address field, and make the next field ready for an entry. That no longer works. If I use that technique, the shortcut that I entered in the first field gets included along with the address (if I'm lucky enough to have the address itself selected now, given the problems I've mentioned above). I now have to press "Enter" in order to get the address in the first field to "take" correctly, and then have to click on the "To:" symbol for the next line as a separate action. Just another inconvenience with the new version.
    3. While still on the subject of addresses, personally I see no reason why the address and subject fields should now be colored blue by default rather than appearing as blank, white fields. I far prefer the old look. And I suspect that changing from the blue color to a nice, clean, white field takes time and computer resources that slow things down.
    4. The default font (Times in my case) no longer "takes" when replying to or forwarding messages. I've checked Tools/Options/Composition, and Times is still shown as my default font. However, when I start to type (in a reply with the original message quoted or in a forwarded message), the result is "Variable Width". In order to get Times, I need to highlight the block of text after typing, including the lead-in to the quoted message or the header of the forwarded message, and select "Times" when "(mixed)" shows up. This is a big pain; I often forget to do so and end up having to edit the Unsent Message (which I check before sending) as New and correct the font.
    5. A minor problem: I rely on the reminder to attach a message which shows up when an "attachment-related" word is entered in the body of the message. It has been a wonderful feature of Thunderbird that has prevented me on many occasions from sending off messages without the attachments. However, in the new versions, even if I have indeed added the attachment, a pop-up comes up on sending the message saying there has been no attachment and asking if I want to add one. It's easy enough to just click "No", but it's yet one more unnecessary and distracting step that this new version is requiring of the user.
    I'm really sad to see these various changes/glitches. I love Thunderbird and it bothers me deeply to find myself mired in so many new problems that slow down my work. I would be grateful for any suggestions and advice, and, particularly, for any information as whether I can roll back to the version prior to 31.3.0 that was working well for me.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • 10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

    Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7?  After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation.  This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates.  Is it safe to update now?

  • HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

    I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard.  It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote.  Any suggestions of how to fix it?

    Dear Kurt,
    in bigger companies thinks come slow :-)  Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
    And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
    We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
    The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
    We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
    Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
    And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
    When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
    Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
    The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
    The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
    I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
    But I wasn't able to get it to work.
    Do you have the one big hint for me???
    Thanks and best regards...      Udo

  • PDF and Font Problems 10.6.8

    Ugh.
    MBP13 7,1 (mid 2010) 2.4g C2D 4G Ram
    I use Vectorworks 2011 to produce CAD drawings for customers and the plant. Recently I began having issues with my PDFs of my CAD not being fully distilled - various issues but primarily most dimensions not visible. I have read that PDF issues cropped up beginning with 10.6.7 and that certain PS fonts can be the issue. As well as outdated PDF readers used by my recipients. In a short-sighted fit of frustration I began monkeying with Font Book and Font Caches.
    My maladies are
    1. My PDFs are incomplete
    2. Received MS Office filed open "blank".  Now MS OFFICE 2011 no longer has common Fonts such as Arial and Times Nee Roman.
    Can I fix this or do I need to go back to 10.6.6 and reinstall Office?
    Thanks in advance.
    BTW this forum is surprising difficult to nav on an iPhone.

  • Font problem in Classic

    I posted this over in the Classic forum...but it's rather dead over there and I fear it may not be seen for a while...so here's the problem...
    I'm running Quark 4 in Classic and having trouble with fonts. Though the fonts are on my computer, and in the OS 9 fonts folder, they won't print correctly. If I use the same printer and print from Quark on my old iMac (running OS 9) the fonts print and look fine.
    I read another thread in this forum that mentioned the fonts must be OS 9 fonts (and must not have been run through suitcase or a similar managing program???). So, on the off chance that my husband or I just took OS X fonts and copied into the OS 9 folder, I copied the OS 9 fonts from the iMac (I just grabbed everything in the Frutiger family, as it was one that I had an issue with) and then dumped them into the OS 9 fonts folder on my iBook. I restarted Classic mode in order to make the fonts available to the OS and then printed again. The font still prints all pixeled-looking.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to find the original font disc and install them from the disc?
    Any help would be most appreciated!!!!!

    Hi Diane,
    Glad that the tip helped to "solve" the font problem!
    Not sure why you are printing the file info at the bottom of the page. It does sound as if it is a print setting somewhere though. Hopefully someone has a clue for you.
    Again, thanks for the "solved" star and if I can think of something else for you to try I'll post back. Let us know if you figure it out.
    good luck,

    "In lieu of an answer...I tried changing the paper size to legal and it's not on the last copy I printed."
    Ooops, I misread your reply, and see that by changing the paper size it corrected the issue.

  • Strange system font problem

    Hello,
    I have the following problem for 2 days now:
    http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1462/bild1.png
    I did not install anything. I tried to delete font caches but it did not help.
    I re-installed the system but that did not change anything. After resetting the PRAM the problem was solved. At least for some hours, but now the problem appeared again.
    When I do a reboot, strange white lines appear over the grey background and the Apple Logo, then the screen turns blue, the cursor consists of white lines too and nothing more happens. After several tries to reboot the Mac is running again, but the font problem still exists.
    First I thought of a graphic card problem, but it seems that this font problem only concerns system prefernces and system applications.
    I have no idea what to do now, so please help me.

    Hi "Apfelkrautsalami"
    Font caching information is stored on a per-user basis in
    /private/var/folders
    I have no idea if it'll help, but you could try this:
    - Open a Terminal and do
    *sudo rm -rf -- /private/var/folders/??*
    - Restart your machine
    (Note 1: The '--' prevents rm to think that folders like '-5' are options)
    (Note 2: The '??' will match any two-letter directory. I didn't want to say '*')

  • Pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 - resolved in 10.6.8 combo update?

    The pdf fonts problem in 10.6.7 forced me to go through the long uninstall process after a couple days stressing over what the problem was -- it was Adobe tech support that finally informed me what the problem was. Is the problem fixed in the 10.6.8 combo update?  Since I got no replies when I asked this question a different way yesterday, can anyone say (for helpful answer points) whether Apple would be inclined to answer this question if I just call them up (i.e., without existing AppleCare)?   Any other suggestions for getting official support on this question?   As it stands, I fear updating at all, and could be stuck with 10.6.6 for a long time.

    The combo should fix your problem.  As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.

  • PDFMaker font problem

    Can anyone offer any advice on how to debug a font problem?
    I am using a (shareware) symbol font on my Windows XP system. It works great in FrameMaker, and comes out perfectly in Frame-generated PDF files.
    Unfortunately, I also have to convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF, using the same font. When I generated those PDF files with PDFMaker, the font characters all show as little squares. I checked MS Word as well, and it has the same issue.
    I've checked the font properties in the generated file using the TouchUp Text tool in Acrobat - the font is recognised and embedded. If I try to make changes, I get this error message:
    "Some of the characters in the current font are not available, the missing characters will be replaced by place holder characters (maybe dots '.').
    "A work around to this is to select another font which contains the characters in the TouchUp Properties dialog.
    "Proceed with replacement?"
    I'm using Office 2007 under Windows XP Professional. The font is shareware and unsupported. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the problem isn't in PDFMaker, but I don't know a whole lot about fonts, and I'm not sure how to debug this.
    Can anyone offer any advice?

    If you go to the general tab in the Adobe PDF printer properties, there is a button for printing preferences. Select that and go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab. There should be a check box for leaving the log file intact there. You can also simply print to the Adobe PDF printer with print to file selected. Then open the file in Distiller and watch the messages created (these steps are automated if you do not print to file).
    You can also check the fonts in the PDF (use ctrl-D, font tab). If they are embedded, that information is stated in parentheses. If there is no statement of embedding, then it did not get done. That is not necessarily an error if the job settings are not set to embed the font.

Maybe you are looking for
