Second Display Menu Font sizing bug...

A bug that's been around far too long has to do with menu text on the second display screen not adjusting when the custom identity font is changed (reduced in our case). It would make sense for the font size to be the same on both displays. The font size always stays the same on the second display. Please fix this in version 3.

I was able to reproduce the behavior on my machine and I will report it to R&D. Hopefully this issue gets fixed in one of the next releases.

Font Sizing Bug

Hey Guys,
I appear to have come across a bug after updating Photoshop to latest version. This has happened on two of my machines.
Basically, if I set my font size to say, 12px and then scale this bigger with transform tools making it huge in size. When I click back on it with the type tool, it still tells me the size is 12 px. Even if I then change this to say 6px, it will downsize the huge font to half of its size and not down to 6px.
Hope this makes sense and any idea on a fix as its prooving to be very difficult to work with.
Update:
Just an addition to this, I just reinstalled Photoshop, tried the above before updating and it worked as you'd expect. When scaled the type up using transform and then clicked on the type it would say it was 152.8 for example. If changed it back to 12, it changed back to 12.
Updated my Photoshop to latest update, scaled it up and clicked, said it was still 12pt. Very confusing, but has to be an issue with the update.

Sure
However, viewing this thread

This is an issue that has been apparent since CS6 was released and something that Adobe are simply ignoring.

Fresh install of Firefox not displaying any fonts in the menues or web pages how do I fix this?

completely uninstalled priviouse version of Firefox and just intalled Firefox 13.0.1. it doesn't display any fonts not on web pages and not within the Firefox menu structure.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

My menu bar is wider than my second display. Why?

All of a sudden, my Finder menu bar is wider than my second display and overlaps into my first display. I'd like to correct this but don't know how.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

Weird issues with menu font, Spotlight indexing, etc.

Hi all,
About a week ago, my PB G4 was freezing a lot; I'd have to hold the power button to shut it down, and if I tried to start it up again, it would chime and the light would come on, but the screen wouldn't light up and there would be no disc/fan sound. Or sometimes the screen would light up and the disc would boot, but it would either freeze at the grey screen or just after getting to my desktop. This was all similar to some issues I had over the summer when my hard drive was getting too full, but now I've got 22GB free (out of 90GB), so that shouldn't be a problem. I have OnyX and have run it a couple times in the last few months for cleanup.
So anyway, last week, I read what I could find on the forums here and in my user's guide. I tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, but after the second chime sound (when it's okay to release the keys), it froze on the restart, so I wasn't sure if it worked or not. (I have since tried resetting this, and it's worked normally.) I booted from the Install DVD and reset the startup disk. I ran Apple Hardware Test, and everything checked out okay. My S.M.A.R.T. status was "verified." I also ran Disk Utility to repair permissions and disk, but got an error during disk repair that the repair could not be completed.
Somewhere in all of this, on one of the restarts, all of the text in the menu at the top of the screen changed so that each character was replaced with a small square with a capital letter A in it. This is annoying, though I've mostly been able to get around it using keystroke commands or just remembering where things were in the menus. The same character display issue is also true of the text beneath every icon on my desktop and in Finder windows-- though if I click on those as if to rename those files, I can see the name in a regular font. In the Finder, if I switch it to list view rather than icon view, the texts for the file and application names appear normal. When dialog boxes (for errors or commands) come up, the text in those sometimes appears as these little boxed characters.
Oddly enough, my computer's been working better since this happened... or at least, I haven't had any more restart issues. However, I've noticed some other weird things besides just the menu fonts. If I click the Spotlight icon to do a search, it always shows that it's indexing my computer. Yesterday I tried to print a Word document and just got an error simply saying "Word cannot print." I'm wondering if these and the menu font issues are all related to the disk errors that Disk Utility encountered, and what I should try next.
Anybody encountered this before?

Hi, rhiannon. Your hard drive's directory is seriously corrupt — so seriously that Disk Utility can't fix it. You have three choices:
1. If your hard drive's contents are backed up in the form of an up-to-date bootable clone of your hard drive from just before your problems began, simply clone the clone from your external backup drive back onto the internal drive. This will erase the internal drive, including whatever is corrupt on it, and replace its contents with the contents of your backup. You will be back to normal quickly.
2. Use a more potent disk Utility such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive directory. If you don't have all your data backed up elsewhere, this is the way to go.
3. If you have your data backed up, but not in a bootable clone form, start up from your Tiger installer DVD, erase your hard drive, and reinstall everything on it from original software installer discs and from your data backups, afterward applying all the necessary software updates again. This is very time-consuming.

How to use the second display for installation OS in my vertical lines iMac

My 17" iMac display is full of vertical lines, it is unuseable. Does anyone know how to use the second display for Mac OS X or disable the first display for installation Mac OS x ?

Go to: *System Preferences > Displays* and select the Arrangement tab, then relocate your Menu bar by dragging it to the other display.
Unfortunately there is no Hardware or Software switch to turn off the iMac's Internal Display.

Menu fonts all turn into boxed capital "A"s

At some point last night, while I was working on my 10.4.9 PowerMac G4, something happened and my menu fonts all turned into some glyph that looks like a capital "A" inside of a box. All of the text on the desktop, menu bar, window titles, and the left side of a finder window have this change. Files displayed within a finder window, however, do not.
Does anyone have any idea of what might have gone broken to cause this, and ideas on what I can do to try to fix it? I'd rather not reinstall if that's an option.
I've run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to make sure the drive is up to spec, and it checked out.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz (MDD) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Would it be possible to replace that font from
another 10.4.9 system?
Sure, from any OS X system at all. But I imagine you
still have Lucida Grande (look in
System/Library/Fonts) and I doubt replacing it will
help. Worth a try, but I think the problem is
something messed up in the OS that makes it think the
font is gone.
That, also, appears to be the case. Sigh. Looks like it's reinstall time.
Thanks for the tips, though!

HT5313 Second Display Problem after Update v10.7.5

I just updated my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) and the new OS 10.7.5 is not recognizing my second display (VGA connected emachines 19''). I have restarted, changed the resolution, and tried many things, but the display that was working perfectly two hours ago now does not work. Help pls

Hi There,
I suggested the solution on the link you refer (to solve this type of problem with gfxCardStatus)... unfortunately this solution did not solve the problem when upgrading to the 10.7.5, namely the new "supplemental update" that was released on the 4th of October (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1599).
Here is a simple procedure I followed and solved the problem for me... this worked by chance after starting following the instructions in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19979833#19979833.
Restart your machine and, when the machine is in booting press "alt" (left option) to show a booting menu.
Select "recovery mode" (do this with the external display connected)
In the recovery mode you can test if the external display is detected (it should work normally)
Do not do anything in the recovery mode... simply Restart you machine (now in normal mode)
It should work normally now... (at least it worked for me)
I think this has to do with a kind of "reset" on the external displays configurations... But I still do not fully understand why this happened.
I hope this helps some people! Cheers!

Using second display as main display

After installing mountain lion I can not figure out how to use my second display as the default, or what use to be #1 monitor. Meaning the second display would have the dock and toolbar on the top.

I haven't tried this myself on ML, but usually under older operating systems, you can in the Arrange mode in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays, just drag the white bar on the top of the representative rectangle of the one display to the other, and that adjusts which display is the primary.

Google Chrome displaying incorrect fonts

I have just downloaded google chrome for the first time and tested a site I have built in it, and all the fonts are times/serif style when I have created the style sheet to have ariel/helvetice/sans serif as the default body font.
Every other browser I have tested my site in has displayed the correct fonts - even dare I say it - Internet Explorer seems to be doing a great job! So why not chrome? Having looked for some rational reason, I decided to come here, using chrome as my browser, and it was then that I noticed that the adobe site which is normally sans serif is displaying serif fonts!!
Why?
Here's a link to the site:

Thanks.

Oh bless you... are you and your hefty walleted father in-law really that naive to believe this is a live website?
I am in the process of constructing the site, and as a result, I need to test it on a testing server rather than on my client's live domain! Occasionally, one has problems that one cannot seem to overcome without a little guidance from others who are able to help, which is obviously why you have joined this forum. If one does have problems, then you will without question be asked to show an example of the site and its code before you even get a relevant and constructive response. That's all you are looking at
As you rightly point out, the product range is missing images. If you actually bothered to look at the code, you would see that the source is blank, and secondly, if you read the text below each, you would see that all four are identical. Why would I bother to do that on a live site? You will also see that there are other parts of the site that I am yet to build, or if they are built, then I need to populate them with something other than dummy content. There is so much lorem ipsum across the site that I find it hard to believe anybody would consider this to be a finished product!
Look at what you have just judged and you will realise that there are so many clues that this isn't a complete site. The domain I have asked people to look at is under the name of matthew stuart design, and if you bothered to look at the top level of the domain, you'll quickly discover I am a graphic and web designer. I do not supply generators to markets (which are clearly indicated), such as the military where they generate electrical power to war torn regions to aid in the rebuild of that which has been destroyed... I don't supply the medical sector where stand-by power is required just in case there is a power failure during open-heart surgery.
If you studied the content of the wibiya bar, you would see that it refers to me as a designer, and my approach is a friendly one. However, at the moment I don't feel particularly friendly. Every job I have done has fulfilled my clients needs, but not only that, it has also fulfilled the requirements of my client's clients'. The wibiya bar is simply there as an example to my customers... I don't even have it on my live site!
What you have posted is totally out of line. The client I am building this site for has an exceptional name in their industry, and if your father in-law was in the market of buying a power generator, then I recommend them highly, and they will be able to build him something that suits his budget. If your father in-law requires a website, then I suggest he use somebody with experience, and that would be me, or any number of other experienced members of this forum.
So, your father in-law has made an incorrect judgement - leading me to question if he applies the same analytical processes to his million pound budget, OR, it's more than likely you have misled him due to your own naivety, and if that is the case, then I apologise for my previous comment about his capabilities.
If you're going to insult me, make sure you get your ducks in a row before-hand. Making such a comment could spread like a virus ruining my clients reputation... that's not just A BIG NO NO, it is hugely irresponsible!
By the way, I don't sell paper clips, but I've had a box full of them for more than 10 years and I don't use them; you can have them free of charge... you'll just need to pay for the postage!

Main screen and dock move to second display

Hi all,
although i found many replies regarding to how to get the dock to the desired screen i face the following problem.
I am a vj/dj using serato dj, mix emergency and madmapper. Whenever i connect a second display to my macbook (macbook pro early 2013 retina, now on OS 10.9) the main screen and dock is transferred to that second display (e.g. projector). These softwares need to run to the main screen only, and this should be my laptop's screen.
Even if i get the dock back to my macbook display, these softwares recognise as MAIN display the external one and not my macbook pro's display.
I am facing this problem since my OS upgrade to 10.9 from 10.8!
Can i do something to my macbook so as to always recognise its own display as the main display? Does this problem exist on Yosemite as well?
Can i downgrade to 10.8 if all the rest fail?
Regards

Hi konstadinos.k,
I understand you want your MacBook Pro to be the default display for your DJ software when you have a second display connected to it. Take a look at the article below that explains all of the options for extending or mirroring your displays. I've highlighted some key information below that may be helpful in your situation. Even though the article is for Mavericks, the info should still be applicable.
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202780
You can also assign an app to a specific display space from the app's menu in the Dock. Windows assigned to a space always open there when the display you specified is connected.
The blue boxes in Displays preferences represent each display that's connected. The size of each box is relative to the current resolution of each display. In this example, the smaller box on the left is the display of a 13" MacBook Pro while the larger box on the right represents the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display.
Drag any of the blue boxes to change the location of a display in relation to your additional screens. You can use this feature to make sure your connected displays match their real world location when navigating windows. The white bar at the top of the blue box represents the menu bar. Drag the white bar onto the blue box representing the display you want as your primary display.
Hope that helps ...

Second Display Use

Okay, I have a Mac Pro (two years old) with a 23" Apple Display. I have been thinking of connecting my old 17" Apple LCD Display in as a second monitor. I know I need to get a DVI to ADC adapter to work on the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT I have.
So, my question is this (and I know its probably a dumb question): What can I do with a second display connected? I have read that with applications like Photoshop (I have Adobe CS4), you can move panels or palettes to the second display. But I was wondering if I can have my Apple Mail open on the 17" (since I usually have it open all the time) while I work in PS on the 23". Or can I have like streaming tv from Hulu playing or be playing a DVD on the 17" while I am working on the 23". I figure I might as well put that 17" display to use and I have seen photos on the web of people with more than one display connected, but I never thought what they could be using it for.
And one more question: Do I need any software or do anything special in settings on the Mac to make this work? I really appreciate any input.

Yes, I have done those things on the second monitor. What's on my second monitor right now: iTunes, iStat, SizzlingKeys, sometimes Disk Utility, iChat, SuperDuper, basically anything I don't want to obscure what's on the main monitor.
And one more question: Do I need any software or do anything special in settings on the Mac to make this work? I really appreciate any input.
It is all built in. When you plug your second monitor in, you will see two monitor icons in the Displays system preference, instead of the one you normally see. Arrange those icons the same way you laid out your actual monitors on your desk, and the system will know which edge is the common edge and the mouse can travel between the two monitors as if they were one. At that point it does not matter which windows you place in which monitor, you do what you want. You will be able to assign resolutions, color profiles, and options separately for each connected monitor.
The menu bar must remain on one monitor. It can be dragged to any monitor using the Displays preference. The monitor you put the menu bar on will be your startup/primary monitor.

Second display control & E-mail checking

Anyone got this feature to work. If I try to initiate mail checking from the start menu, all programs, second display control, mail checking after filling in the panel it fails with a "failed to connect" message. Can find no help info for this feature. Anyone tried it with any success?

Fair enough, then how do I close out that last E-Mail from being displayed, without closing out the program?

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
"Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Firefox 4

Pretty sure this is either:
'''Bug 644733'''
or
'''Bug 609405'''
(...and they may be reporting the same thing.)

Three-Way Color Corrector Eyedropper Tool Not Working on Second Display in OSX Maverick

Hello,
Since updating to Mavericks at work on Monday, I have been unable to use the Three-Way Color Corrector's eyedropper tool on a dual-screen setup in Premiere Pro CC.
I have all of my panels, apart from my Program monitor panel, on one display. When I select the Three-Way Color Corrector's white balance eyedropper and go to the second display where my Program panel is, it turns back into an arrow and doesn't allow me to select anything. When I move my Program panel to the same display as the others it lets me use it as normal. Unfortunately that is not how I work and I would like the program to function as normal.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and discovered a solution. I will submit a bug report right now.
Thank you.

Hi Punker,
Thanks for posting the workaround. This is a known issue that we're investigating. Fow now the workaround is to:
Goto> System Preferences>Mission Control.
Un-tick "Displays Have Separate Spaces"
Logout or Re-boot system.
The issues should be resolved.
Best,
Peter Garaway

Premiere Pro
