Scrubbing with type-font size / Character palette?

I could be wrong but I thought you used to be able to scrub with a left-right movement in the character pallette (among others) - to change values for things, say, type/font size for example - but it appears in CS4 you can no longer do this?
What I mean is, I want to be able to rapidly change the size of a selected lettering without having to click the up/down arrows changing it one point at t a time - is there a better way to do this (besides manually typing in a new value/number)?
Hopefully that makes sense - works like that in Photoshop (used to in AI - or am i crazy?)

You are wrong, in AE, PPro, Encore, Flash, Soundbooth you have the dynamic sliders but not graphic programs only seem to be the motion graphic applications.
Not sure if they are as meaningful in the graphic program where the text will be static. That might be the reason such dynamics are not in those programs, where a more studied and precision requirement or standard might apply.
For instance is it practical to scrub and stop at 32.133 pts? and is it far more likely you want a specific point size? If you use paragraphs and paragraphs of text is this a feature that gets in the way or does it give you more freedom?
Not sure it is a good idea even if it can be done, I think they would have o give this out to a large number of users to test it.
I do not really mean something like a beta group of some kind but more a user group of a certain number for Photoshop, Illustrator and ID
but i think most might say it is not helpful after a while.
The answer to your direct question is no you are wrong it never existed.

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade..Please Help

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade
Please help...Thanks

inkydmark,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone. Yosemite was made long after CS4, so it may be difficult.
There is a way round an even worse issue shown in post #2 here:

Pierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.

Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

There is a problem with the font size of the itouch 4.

I was given a new ipod touch gen4th (ios 4.3.5) by the Apple authorized repair centre in Hong Kong three days ago. However. i found that there is a problem with the font size of it. It is different from my original one. Either the playlist or the words in the webpages , the font size is not uniform. Most of the words are boldfaced. Sometimes, there are some words are smaller in size. I don't know whether I can or cannot figure out the problem and tackle it, so, should I take it back to the repair centre? Or does anybody help me to fix it or give me some suggestions? Millions of thank.

What language is set in Setting>General>International?
Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factoery defaults/new iPod

I need to input text from PC to iPad with large font size. Too much to ask?

Works well with PC to PC using just software likge Windows Live Messenger, but not with iPad because I haven't seen a Messenger app for iPad that can display large fonts or has custom font size option. They all use small font size that can't be changed.
I've also tried many VNC apps by writing the text in my PC to notepad and using the VNC to display the large text for iPad. Probelm is VNC's wont work well with 3G.
Is this really too much to ask from iPad?
If some app developer reads this, I'll buy an app for 50$ that has white background and can receive text sent from PC with custom font sizes. Doesn't have to have any other features. Just receive text from PC using the existing IM softwares like Windows Live etc or simple custom software.

I was wondering if you could help me out with my current situation. It seems like it is similar to your previous I/O delima. I think I might have to parse the data, but i dont know how to do that yet. I basically have to put the information from one text file into a database, and it is formatted in one way, and i need to format it a different way that SQL statements can read. Here are 2 entries of about 12,000 that i have in one text file:
1
UI - 4
TI - 117-28
Y2 - -32676
RP - NOT IN FILE
SO - <None Specified> -1 ;():

TI - The mechanism of genetic recombination in Escherichia coli.
MH - mechanism
MH - recombination
MH - Escherichia coli
RP - NOT IN FILE
SO - Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol 1953 ;18():75-93
This is only 2 of the records, You notice that the record number is first, followed by another field ex. (UI), which then the data stored in that field are after the "-"
Thanks for your help

InDesign - Font size on palettes, toolbars and rulers

Can you increase the font size on palettes, toolbars and rulers in InDesign? The standard size is very small!

Windows 7 x64.
I have a creative cloud subscription so InDesign is the latest version.
Many thanks,

Imported text formatting disappearing when changing font in character palette.

Something seems to have changed with my InDesign, and I'm not sure why. Here is what I used to be able to do.
I could import a word doc into a text box. This text would have bold, regular, italics fonts. I would select the text box, then change the font using the character palette by just changing the top font box. For example, if the font imported in as Helvetica but I wanted it all to be Futura, I would select the box and then just type Futura and all of the Helvetica bolds would become Futura Bold, and the Helvetica Italic would become Futura Italic, etc. I didn't have to select each line.
Now if I try to do that same thing, when I select Futura, it just changes ALL the text to Futura Regular. I lose all previous formatting that was imported in from the word doc.
I hope this makes sense.
How can I go back to the way it was?
PLEASE HELP! This is maddening! Not a big deal for a single flyer design but when laying out a book, this could add DAYS to the project.
thanks!

I believe the issue lies in the font palette. Here is what I used to do.
- New document.
- Create text box.
- Select text box.
- CMD + D
- Select word doc
- Text is imported with bolds, italics, etc.
At this point, let's say I want font to be Myriad Pro...but I want the bold to remain bold and italic to remain italic.
- Select text box.
- Type font name into font palette (No dropdown or popup menu used to appear, now it does). Used to just type Myriad Pro then hit return.
- Font in text would retain bolds and italics and become Myriad Pro. So if a line in the text imported as Helvetica Bold, it would now be Myriad Pro Bold.
Now when I do this, it just changed ALL of the text to ONE font. If I type in Myriad Pro, a drop-down menu appears and automatically selects Myriad Pro Condensed.
I hope that helps. I know I'm not crazy. This is what I have done forever. I use InDesign every day...and have for years. I rebooted my mac two days ago and this problem appeared. It seemed like some sort of awful update. haha. When I rebooted, I lost all of my preferences. InDesign went back to points and picas instead of inches. Smart guides appeared, I had to turn those off again. Stuff like that.
Any thoughts?

How to deal with inconsistent font sizes?

I sign every post at my blog (using the type tool).
Even if I use the same fontsize in photoshop the result in actual size varies (I realize this has to do with cropping it in camera raw), Is there a way of getting a consistent font size (i.e size in pixels), without having to go down the path of having a customized signature brush?
TIA.

Problem seems to be fixed (though why still puzzles me).
It appears as if a few images had in deed changed resolution. (My workflow had been as follows - open them up in CR, make adjustments - I had then on the troublesome photos made some adjustments in PS then saved them as .psd.) - for some unknown reason a few of them had been saved in 240 DPI as opposed to 300.
When I was checking the resolution of my files to verify that they were all the same I had been looking at the various .NEF files. I feel like an idiot
It was a case of not paying attention.
Thanks again!

Cfdocument doesn't work with my font size

Hi All,
My font size doesn't work inside my cfdocument using css
Here is my code:
In My css file I have this:
body {     font-family:"times new roman";     font-size: 18px;     line-height: 20px; }

Font Family Font Face Postscript Name Font Type Useable In Path

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade

Howdy. Recently upgraded to Yosemite. In my copy of Adobe CS4, fonts no longer preview in the dropdown menu of the Character palette, unless the mouse rolls over them. Very frustrating. Does this occur with any other version of Illustrator? Any way I can fix this?
Here's an image that shows you what I mean:

Tom, Lisbeth,
Bryan,
What ahppens if you open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled “Reduce transparency.”?
It seems to work for CS5, see here:

Printing a Dashboard in pdf format with bigger font size ?

Hi,
When we are trying to print a Dashboard with few reports in pdf format, the font size seems to be very small in the print, and it is not readable.
Is there a way where in we can make the pdf's print a bit larger?
Thanks

Yes, at last I managed to change the look and feel of the generated PDF, including the font.
The attributes of all the objects that can be affected in the pdf output are kept in 2 .fst files: for general attributes in pdfstyle.fst and for pivottable attributes in pivot.pdf.
These 2 files are present for every skin, like Oracle_10 and Siebel77.
Try a global find and replace of 0.75pt to 4.0pt and 8pt to 20pt in pivot.fst. Save the file, restart the presentation server, log in again and try print to pdf of an existing pivot table. It will have thick borders and a big font.
I still do not understand that the same attributes are kept in 2 different files. For a color-change it is necassary to change the file views.css and the .fst file(s).
Good luck changing fonts and colors.

Problem with decreased font size in exported PDF.

We have a web site running on a Windows 2008R2 server.
The site was developed with Visual Studio 2010 using .NET 4.0.and is running in 32bit. The associated application pool uses a specific local user.
We have some reports that include a barcode font. The font is installed on the server and the reports are rendered in PDF on the server side to avoid the need to have the barcode font installed on all clients. The PDF renders correctly but we are facing the decreased font size problem
We followed the instructions included in this post:
Unfortunately the part regarding VS 2010 does not seem to work.
If we add the specified Key on the HKLM section of the registry, it doesnu2019t have any effect.
If we add it on the HKCU section while logged in with the same user assigned to the application pool, everything seems to work fine. But as soon as the user is logged out, the reports stop working.
Have anybody figured out how to configure correctly those keys with this configuration?

Try putting it under the HKU/.default path. You can also use process monitor to see where the application is looking.

Using fiefox 3.6.9 with win7 font-size is all wrong... all other browsers are working fine

I have a problem using Firefox 3.6.7 with win 7 Professional (64bit) the font size is all over the place sometimes too big and sometimes too small when I look at the same sites in IE 8, chrome , opera and Safari they are all ok... also the same sites are OK with Firefox 3.6.9 using XP

Is there a bug with the font size setting?

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I cannot change the font size using the settings in mobile firefox. It appears to be stuck on the smallest font. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no success. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

I have done some testing in the last 20 minutes and am convinced there is a conflict caused by Final Cut Express 3.0.
I opened and closed Audacity, Sound Studio and iMovie three times each with no problem.
I did the same with FCE and each time the Line In Volume control had reverted to the 50% setting.
So it appears there is a bug (at least with my setup).
Is there a cure - other than resetting System Preferences every time?
Ian.
