Setting font for mail preferences

anybody have this problem?? when i set lucida sans italic as my email font preference it won't italicize it. it will italicize in all areas of preference except when it comes to using it as a default font. i called support and they were stumped and suggested that i post here. help!!! :-):-)

yes, i want to see the message in that font and have the person on the other end view in that font also. you can change the message font in mail preferences. you select the font under message font and it will create all new mail messages in that font. what i find is that any font that will italicize won't do so when you create a new message. i have it set for comic sans right now and that works fine. go into mail preferences, choose message font, select lucida sans from the font list, then on the right select italics and then close and create a new message. the new message should have lucida sans italics as the message font. mine won't do that. you can select other fonts and it will work, but the italics part doesn't take........

How to set font for title and message in JOptionPane?

Hi,
I have following test code.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Some Alert Message", "Alert", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);In this code can we set font for "Some Alert Message", "Alert"?
Regards,
Kalyani......

roll-your-own?
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing
public static void main(String[] args)
    JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("<html><font size='5'>Your message here</font></html>");
    optionPane.setOptionType(JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION);

How to set font for JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() ?

Hi,
I want to set font for JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(). I have tried with following but it did not worked.
javax.swing.UIManager.put("JOptionPane.font", "Verdana"); Do any one have idea how to do this. Your suggestion would be helpfull to me.
Thank you.

Then you'll have to loop over the components in the JOptionPane and setFont for each JButton. My SwingUtils class (search the net using Darryl SwingUtils, I can't give you a link as it's blocked from my office) can make this easier.
Sample code:import darrylbu.util.SwingUtils;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource;
public class OptionPaneFonts {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageFont", new FontUIResource(new Font(
              "Verdana", Font.BOLD, 32)));
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new OptionPaneFonts().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane("So it's a date?",
              JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
              JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
              UIManager.getIcon("OptionPane.questionIcon"),
              new String[]{"Okey-dokey", "Not on your life!",
                 "Let me think about it"
              }, null);
      for (JButton button : SwingUtils.getDescendantsOfType(JButton.class, pane)) {
         button.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.ITALIC, 18));
      JDialog dialog = new JDialog((JWindow) null);
      dialog.setModal(true);
      dialog.add(pane);
      dialog.pack();
      dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      dialog.setVisible(true);
}db

Transferring set-up for Mail from iMac to iBook

I just switched from AOL to Mail on my iMac and would like to have the same setup on my iBook. How can I do this without building everything from scratch a second time? I'm not sure where to look for the preferences or whatever that is saved for my Mail configuration. Any help?
Thanks,
Joanne

Joanne,
One easy way to make the transfer, unless the Mail folder is of extreme size, is to Network the iBook with the iMac. More on this in a moment.
What you want to do, by network, target disk, or burned media, is REPLACE the com.apple.mail.plist file (Home/Library/Preferences), and the Mail folder (Home/Library/Mail ) on the iBook with a copy of the same files from the iMac. Once you have done this, launch Mail on the iBook, and you will be set. The same can be done with the Address Book (Home/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
To do this while in direct network link do the following:
On the iMac, click on System Preference icon in the Dock, and choose Sharing. Next place a check mark in box beside Personal File Sharing.
Now, on the iBook, open a Finder window, and click on the Network globe in the Sidebar, and you will see your iMac listed. Double click on the iMac icon, and when prompted enter the administrator password for the iMac. At that point choose to connect to your Home folder on the iMac, and then an Icon for that home folder will mount on the iBook. Open it the same as you would open the HD, and then open the HD on the iBook, and locate the files you wish to replace with copies of those on the iMac.
Hope this helps.

Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then

2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

How to set proxy for mail with Gmail account

Hi, I'm using mail and set up a Gmail pop account. My mac is behind a proxy, say 192.168.0.1:808. I set the system http and https with the above address and can browse the internet with safari. But the mail app cannot receive or send any mails from the google pop/smtp server. Do you know how I can set the proxy for mail so that it can send and receive mail? Thank you very much!

I solved this problem myself by using an app called proxifier. It's a tunneling tool I guess.

Problems with initial set up for mail and other things

I am having issues with mail set up and getting printers and other things work with Mac Pro Book, since i am new convert i am feeling really frustrated with these things, anyone out there has experince in mac mail set ups and other instatlations like msn messanger etc.

Sorry you are having problems but you need to provide more detailed information about the problems such as what type of email account are you trying to set up in Mail - .Mac, IMAP or POP and is this account provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet or by an email account provider?
What happens including error messages provided when trying to create the email account in Mail?
Regarding a printer problem, this is the Mail & Address Book forum. You should post a question about printer issues with detailed information such as the make and model of your printer and what you have tried to this point at the Printer & Faxing forum here.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=756
Installing MSN Messenger should be easy. I believe Messenger does not include an installer and is provided as package via a disk image that only requires dragging the application from the mounted disk image to your Applications folder which copies the application package from the mounted disk image to your hard drive.
What problems are you having with installing Messenger?

Setting Margins for Mailing Labels in Reports 6i

I would like to know how to configure the margins (vertical/horizontal properties) for different mailing label formats. I am unable to correctly set them to use for Avery labels. MS Access has a great label wizard that brings up a variety of mailing label formats and allows you to choose from the list. I have found nothing similar in Oracle Reports. Have been a DBA/developer of Oracle Applications for 20+ years. Help!

Where you set the measurement ?
Did you follow this ?
@ Report Object Navigator
1. Select Layout Model >> Main Section then properties
set Width, Height and Orientation under Section
Adjust your layout and
Try...
Hope this works..

TS3899 I use outlook for my email on my home computer. I bought an iphone 5 and is set up for mail, I am receiving e-mails but they are not sending.

I use outlook for my e-mail on my home computer. I bought an iphone5 and set up mail I am receiving e-mails but cannot send. Not sure what my outgoing mail setting should look like on my phone.

When you set up the email account on your iPhone you probably did not set up the outgoing mail server correctly. Incoming and outgoing are two separate sets of settings. You need to set up both, and also enter your username and password for both.
