Simple Font Question

I'm a programer not a designer, but I have to create a logo for some web site work I volunteered for.
How do I convert a solid font into a vector graphic with a solid outline and a transparent or colored, etc., interior? I want the background to be able to show through or to have the ability to apply an effect like a metalic surface. Since it is going on a web site as part of a logo I want to be able to easily change its size and colors without effecting the overall shape.
I have Web Premium CS5 to work with.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

CCAC,
This is actually one for the Illustrator forum,

but you may:
1) Create the live Type, with one or more letters,
2) Click the Fill box at the bottom of the Toolbox,
3a) If you want the same solid colour/transparency for all letters, you may just click the desired colour in the Color panel,
3b) If you want transparency, you may just set the Opacity in the Transparency panel,
3c) If you want a common gradient for all letters, click the Gradient box at the bottom of the Toolbox and set the gradient,
3d) If you want individual gradients for individual letters, followe the instructions in this recent thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4511645#4511645
To set the outline, add a stroke:
4) In the Appearance palette/panel flyout click Add New Stroke, set the Stroke Weight in the Stroke panel and the colour in the Color panel (you need to have the Stroke highlighted in the Apearance panel, so you have to click it if you return to it after doing other things).

Simple Font Viewer

Hello everyone
This may be a dump question, but does anyone know a simple font viewer? When I was using KDE I just needed to click on a font file and I could see what the font looked like. Now I switched to xfce (with Thunar as file manager) and there is no such programme. I do not seek a fancy font management tool or something like that. I am sure I just need to pick the right Gnome package, just: which one is it?
Thank you very much in advance!

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.
Powerbook G4 Ti Mac OS X (10.4.4)

1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm
using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System
folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other
locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
That's correct.
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic,
always available
font. Not so?
It seems to be out of favor.
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close
to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which
location is best.
Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
- <xs:element name="siteList">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="site" type="siteType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
- <xs:complexType name="siteType">
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="nameEn" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="nameFr" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="code" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
I have executed the query below:
select x.XMLSITEDATA.extract('/siteList/site/nameEn/text()').getCLOBVal() "stName" from wsitelist x;
and I get all english names of some 200 locations, however, there is 1 row selected and all names show up on one row. How do I split them into 200 or whatever rows?
Thanks,

Simple selector question

Don't know why I can't figure this out, but In my html page I have the following simple text which are directions to an office:
<div id="maincontent">
   <p>FROM THE
        LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY: Get off at exit 37, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
        <br />
        FROM THE
        NORTHERN STATE: Going eastward, get off at exit 28S, Willis Ave. If going
        westward, get off at exit 28, Willis Ave. Then follow the directions below
    from the <font color="#FF3300">*</font>.<br />
    <br />
        <font color="#FF0000">*</font> Turn
        South onto Willis Ave. for approximately 3 miles. Cross over Jericho Tpk (Rt.
        etc. etc. etc. etc.
</p>
</div>
#maincontent p       is defined in an external css file and has the property text-align:center   and I did it this way since I use this in other pages on the site. However, on this particular page, I would like this p text to be left aligned. If I'm in the CSS portion of the property inspector, and select the text of the paragraph and then click on the left alignment icon in the property inspector, a box opens up where it asks me to define a new compund rule and asks me to name it, and gives me the starting point of      #maincontent p
My question is what should I type in this box as the name (which I'll use only in this page so I'll check that checkbox) so that I can then continue on and choose left aligned from the choices that follow. Thanks.

Here is the code for the page (line 72 is the line you had me put in and I've bolded it for you), and the css you told me was put at the very end of the external css file.

Simple rectangle question

This should be simple to most of you but unfortunately it isnt yet to me. I'm drawing rectangles around certain areas on a map. My question is how to I make the rectangle border a little thicker. I notice a very thin border around the rectangle, but when I call a drawRect, is there a way to make the borders thicker?

10.6.5 font question

I have resolved a bunch of font problems I was having since upgrading to 10.6.5 by archiving and installing 10.6 and re-upgrading.
I now have alot more fonts in the computer section and some duplikcates which font book isn't resolving.
Here is a simple question:
for a font like Courier where I have a font suitcase in user>Library>Fonts
and a .dfont in System>Library>Fonts
1) which should I keep - dfont or suitcase?
2) Should I a) remove from inside FontBook or b) delete from folder in Finder and then rebuild FontBook cache.
best
Tommy Banana

My apologies -- I just noticed that I do have some font suitcase files in /Library/Fonts & probably elsewhere & they are supported in OS X. When I check them with Font Book, the "Show Font Info" function says they contain Truetype fonts. I'm pretty sure they are leftovers from the Classic OS days; I've probably discarded the ones not compatible with OS X.
All I can really tell you is the fonts in /System/Library/Fonts generally are best left alone but you will get better advice about this from other users that know more than I do about that subject.
But regarding installing Snow Leopard, it does not do an archive and install -- there is no archive containing deactivated previous versions of OS files & other items like there was with that option in earlier OS versions. A better name for the Snow Leopard version might be "Replace & Install," although that applies only to the new files that come with the OS. Everything else is left in place, except possibly for certain incompatible items that are moved to an "Incompatible Software" folder at the root of the drive.
That might explain where some of your duplicate fonts came from.

Monospace Font question

I am somewhat new to Oracle forms, i am using 10G so don't shoot me if these are dumb questions.
I want to left align my Prompts on my form but using Tahoma or Verdana the alignment is always off. I fixed it by using a monospace font like Courier but is there a way to get these other more standard fonts to left align properly? (i don't want to right align them)
Courier is not very readable and for the internet most people use Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.
My other question is that if i use a font that is listed in the Oracle Forms Developer will it automatically download them to clients that don't have that font? How does Oracle handle this?

No question is a dumb question. :-)
To left align prompts, you go to the canvas and select the several that you want to align. Then all you do is click the 'Align Left' icon on the editing toolbar at the top of the canvas (or use pull-down Arange, Align Objects, Horizontally-Align Left). If the web display is not left-aligned, you may also need to open the property palette on the items with the prompts, and set the Prompt Alignment property to Start. You should NOT need to fuss with a monospaced font once you do this.
I don't think Forms downloads fonts. Instead there is a font translation process where a font that is similar is selected.
Just a note... I don't use Forms 9i or 10g, only 6i (both c/s and web), so my answer may not be right on.

Simple Report Question

Post Author: scott123
CA Forum: General
I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report. My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
really want at the moment. Gives the report a nice clean look too.

A simple security question

I'm trying to write a simple self-signed applet that use a jca provider but thi exception "java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.BC" is thrown. if I use a policy file, it works fine but for a beginner user is not very useful intall a new policy file.
After this I tried to write a new self-signed applet that read a file and open a ServerSocket on port 21, and it work fine without a new policy file!
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????
PS
if u have an idea to resolve my problem without a policy file, tell me pls!!! IT'S URGENT!!

An applet works out of a so-called sandbox. The security restrictions can be overcome in one of two ways that you have tried:
1) by the use of a policy file, or
2) by signing the applet
So, to answer your question:
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????Since the applet is signed, there is no need for a policy file......if you tried to access the socket without signing the applet, you'll get the security exception!
