Sharp Onscreen Font on external 23" Viewsonic Blurs

When I first turn on my MacBook, the onscreen display on my external 23" Viewsonic monitor is conveniently small, sharp and clear. Then, after a few minutes and without warning, the fonts and other graphics on screen become larger and a bit fuzzy. Every once in a while, it goes back to the "conveniently small, sharp and clear" mode. How can I keep it that way?

Update on my problem. I've replaced my 22" Viewsonic monitor with another unit but exactly the same brand and model. This new one won't even start with a full screen and sharp fonts and images. The fonts and images are larger and still blurry with an inch of black vertical stripes on BOTH sides. But I changed the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 because this was the ONLY resolution that would remove the black stripes and give me a full screen. All other resolutions WORK but the others would either have blacks stripes on the sides, top, bottom and/or show a stretched and unnatural-looking screen. But my basic problem remains: fuzzy and blurry fonts and images.
I hope someone can help me. Thanks a lot.

Onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"

How do I increase the onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"? I just tried to spell check a document and the font size was so small I can't see what it says. Also, when you click on 'font' to change it, I wish the list of fonts was larger so I could see it clearer. I have pretty good vision so it's not that, it's just the size of the font....it must be at least 6! Thanks for your help.

Hi, Diane. I don't know what sort of display you're using, but it sounds like you have a flat LCD display. At any resolution lower than its maximum, a flat-screen LCD display is always blurry, and the lower the resolution, the blurrier it is. This is because unlike a CRT display, an LCD has a fixed number of physical pixels in it that can't be changed. If you instruct it to "pretend" it has a smaller number of larger pixels by setting it for a lower resolution, each of the "pretend" pixels has to be made up of several real pixels instead of just one, and no pixel can be (for example) half white and half blue: a pixel is an indivisible unit that is always all one color. So the only way the hardware can use several pixels to represent one larger one is to gradate the colors of those pixels as best it can to approximate the intended image, and that inevitably spreads the gradation out — which is exactly what blurring is. This is just an inbuilt property of LCD displays, not a defect that needs to be (or can be) fixed. The solution is to buy a display that works well for you at its highest resolution — which will probably mean a lower-resolution display than you have now.

Loading font from external *.swf

So!
I have 3 movies.
1)Main movie - index.swf
2)Movie with created & checked in linkadge "Export for
runtime sharing" fonts in library - fonts.swf
3)movie with text fields which need embeded fonts to work in
a proper way. Fonts in the library checked in linkage as "import
for runtime sharing" - content.swf
What happens:
I strike CTRL+ENTER and run movie index.swf.
on the (for ex.) 10 frame it loads fonts.swf with
movieClipLoader class..
then in the same way on (for ex.) 100 frame, i load content
swf
BUT!!! before it starts loading process IT DOWNLOADS FONT.swf
again
SO HOW DO I PRELOAD fonts from external *.swf..
maybe there is yhe way without using runtime sharing..
but i've heard that loaded whith movieClipLoader movies don't
adds objects from their library to main movie liblary...
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

can you give your erroe source code,and then i will give you the success code.
in the function
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {}
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
use like this:
var EMClass:Class=loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
then you can new a instance :
var emInstance:Object=new EMClass();
emInstance.alert("hello word");
and we also can use other method. so email me [email protected]

Fuzzy fonts on external monitors

I have LG IPS226 and Dell 2312hm, and both have fuzzy fonts when connected on HDMI or mini-DP -> DVI. How can I make that fonts look good like it should be?
Example:

Extending the desktop, but when I close the lid fonts on external monitor are slightly better.

Blurred fonts on external 1080p display

I have Samsung S24C650PL 1080p (connected with HDMI), which I bought one year ago. I used it a lot with Windows without any issues. Two weeks ago I bought my first Macbook Pro Retina 13 with Yosemite and since than it is a pain to use the external display.
All fonts are significantly more blurred than with Windows. It very unpleasant.
Especially scanned PDFs are horrible, very difficult to read, much worse than the rest of the system.
What is, however, really weird, if I move the Preview app with the PDF from the internal display to the external, it shows the right and sharp image for cca one second before it becomes blurred. So it is obviously software-related issue.
What I tried to fix it:
Deactivate "Use LCD font smoothing when available" --> no effect at all
Deactivate "Smooth text and line art" --> no effect
Use any possible settings in "Displays" --> no effect
Call the Apple support and talk with them for 40+ minutes --> no effect and no help
As last hope, I tried "Force RGB mode in Mac OS X to fix the picture quality of an external monitor" (see http://www.ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-qua lity-of-an-external-monitor) --> no effect
What is even more weird, if I use Parallels with Windows, it is okay! Even in the a window and not in fullscreen, the Windows show everything just as they should - crisp and sharp lines and fonts, while the background in OS X is blurred.
The unique "workaround" I found is related to PDFs and their readability.
Installation of Acrobat Adobe, which uses obviously a different rendering engine than Preview app. (However, I don`t like the app.)
Installation Foxit Reader for Windows under Wine (even that is much better than Preview app.), however, it has its own issues.
However, I don`t have any workaround for the rest of the system... and I just don`t know what to do...
I would appreciate any help. I do like hardware from my new MBPr, but I am pretty frustrated from bugs of this kind...

I'm not sure if my problem is related, but I'm also connecting my MacBook to a Dell LCD panel via the mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter and I'm getting weird on-screen artifacts and intermittent flickering.
There's a known problem if you're using the mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter and Apple has provided a firmware update to fix the problem. If you're using that (and connecting to your Dell monitor via an additional VGA-to-DVI dongle, then you might want to grab the update.
But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a solution for the DVI adapter.

Blurry/fuzzy fonts on external display (Dell 2209WA)

Hi, I recently bought a Dell 2209WA and I'm not too happy with how the fonts are displayed on it. All the fonts seems blurry/fuzzy/jagged.
I have tried to change the sharpness of the display as well as the font smoothing style(I get best results on Medium) in OSX. It gets a little bit better with these settings than with the defaults but far from good.
I'm running the display on a black MacBook through DVI, native resolution 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz.
Anybody else with this problem?

Satellite A200 external display is blurred

We have bought 5x satellite A200. After connecting it to any external display we get nothing but blurred picture.
It's impossible to work on it.
Our other notebooks P200 series work well on presented displays. We really do not know what to do with it. We tried to use Nvidia utility, WIndows utility, upgrading the drivers, switching the display via keyboard but we get the blurred picture in all cases.
We are very satisfied with A200 performance, but the external picture is unusable. Would you recommend us a solution?
Thank you!
Filippi

Hi
Could you please post exactly name of the Satellite A200.
Are these units delivered with an NVIDIA graphic card or with Intel card?
In the nVidia control panel you can change the brightness and the contrast of the display.
Im not 100% sure if you will be able to choose the external monitor but its worth a try.
Go to the control panel -> nVidia -> Display -> Adjust desktop colour settings
The new page should appear where you can adjust your colour settings.
Check if the external monitor appears and choose it. Then you could change the position of the brightness and contrast control.

AIR 3.0 mx:HTML embedded fonts in external swf - silent craziness

The recent upgrade to AIR 3.0 has hosed our application. We rely heavily on an mx:HTML control to render the UI of our application using javascript and HTML templates. Everything has been working great in production for months, until Adobe released AIR 3.0 last week. We use embedded fonts in our application that our defined in an external .swf (loaded at runtime). The HTML control loads a .css file that references the name of our embedded font "ArialEmbedded" and it all worked great. But now, with 3.0 it does not respect anything in the external .swf. We get the default Times New Roman font in all of our content, and the app crashes with reliability (in debug mode and release mode) without any exceptions being thrown.
Using the Windows Debugger, I have been able to track it down to this call consistently - Webkit!cairo_pattern_get_type with an Access Violation erros - c0000005 .
After some Googling, it seems webkit uses Cairo for the graphics rendering portion of the library, and in this case it is trying to render a specific color.
1) I've tried forcing the moduleLoader on the HTML control to use the moduleLoader of the parent Spark component - to no avail.
2) Did something change with style management and loading external .swf files?
3) Any other help? At this point, I have no idea where to begin. When it crashes, usually during the rendering of items in a grid the AIR process will grab about 2GB of RAM all at once and then stop working with the windows process stopped working dialog.
Thanks for any help,
Steve

Imac can not see fonts on external server

We are a commercial printer. We updated this computer to leopard, then decided to go back because of various issues. one of those issues was that the imac could no longer see fonts on our external file server. the fonts appear to be there, but there was 0K in them according to the imac, and the fonts would not load into our font manager (suitcase). When the files were examined at other work stations, the fonts are indeed there and work just fine.
A related issue, when loading files from cd containing fonts, these files are correct if copied to the imac, but when copied by the imac onto the external server the font files have 0K, and they do NOT work at any other workstation - there really is in this case 0K on the external server.
We have since gone back to OSX 10.4.11 but this problem remains.
This is a serious problem and is rendering this computer unusable for anything but email.

Did the other tries bring back any of the thumbnails?
If not and the 4th try fails continue with this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Embeded Fonts and Externally Loaded Text?

Just curious, I am designing a site with two embeded fonts. I am also using many externally loaded textboxes styled by a CSS. When I use the inline HTML in the .txt file, can I specify the embeded fonts for the text boxes or will they just use default browser fonts?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I think what I need to do is place an instance of a text box on each page, so when you navigate away from the page the existing text box will leave. This works, but I can't get the CSS to do the formatting. Here is the code I have, any suggestions?
var fileTxt:String;
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("text/tgc.txt"));
function onLoaded(e:Event):void{
    fileTxt=myTextLoader.data;
    callCss();
function callCss():void{
    var cssRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("styles.css");
    cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCss);
    cssLoader.load(cssRequest);
function onCss(e:Event):void{
    var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
    css.parseCSS(cssLoader.data);
    tgc_txt.styleSheet=css;
    tgc_txt.wordWrap=true;
    tgc_txt.htmlText=fileTxt;
Like I said, it loads the text fine and eliminates the embeded HTML tags in the .txt file. It does not change color, size or weight as I have in the CSS.

How to blank laptop screen when using external monitor/

Hi there
I need some help with figuring out how to configure my xorg.conf for my Arch Linux 64 bit installation on a HP Pavilion dv 5000 laptop so that I can automatically blank my laptop screen when using an external monitor. I have Arch Linux installed along with Ubuntu Feisty. In Ubuntu my external monitor (Viewsonic 1912WB) was not detected at the time of installation but with the native 1280X800 resolution that is good for the laptop takes effect for the external monitor automatically when the external monitor is plugged in. The laptop monitor goes blank when the external monitor is plugged in.
In my Arch Linux installation I have not been able to configure a dual head configuration using the ATI Radeon drivers (fglrx). I have the native 1280X800 resolution set up for the laptop monitor and this resolution takes effect for the external monitor also. However the laptop monitor also continues to function when the external monitor is plugged in. I would like to blank the laptop monitor when using the external monitor.
I am attaching my Arch Linux xorg.conf and the Ubuntu xorg.conf below. Thanks for anyone who can help, I am having a lot of difficulty in figuring out how to set up xorg.conf among all the things that I have had to learn so far in Linux and I am a relative newcomer to the whole thing. I have tried to compare the two xorg.conf files and edit my Arch xorg.conf in accordance with the Ubuntu one but it did not work and I keep getting errors!
I am using XFCE as my Desktop environment.

Xrandr 1.2 provides means for this. But today the only supported configuration is xorg-server-1.3 + xf86-video-intel-2.0. So for Radeon you'll have to wait for drivers that support Randr 1.2.
On my laptop (Thinkpad x60s) that would be:
xrandr --output VGA --auto
xrandr --output LVDS --off

Why do web pages look slightly blurred on Mac?

I have a Mac Mini and a PC with XP on the same monitor, (using a kvm). Almost every web page I view looks better on the pc then the mac. On the mac, the fonts appear thinker and slightly blurred. the same web page on the pc is much sharper and clearer. Both use Firefox and res is the same on both 1280 x 1024. Even Apple's own site looks better on the pc! I've checked, and the same font's are installed on both. I've connected the Mac directly to the monitor, just in case it was the kvm, but no difference. I've also checked on other Mac's (albeit with larger screens), web pages look clearer on them.
Why does a mac, supposedly renowned for its graphics, not display as well as a PC? Monitor is Belinea 19" flatscreen.

Try different settings of Smoothing in the "Appearance" Systems Preference.
