Slow Operation of IM Using Custom Font

I use a variation of this command in an application, and it has run sufficiently fast for years. However, with the current version of ImageMagick, it is extremely slow when I use a custom font (causing the application to hang disconcertingly). No errors are thrown, even with the -verbose tag. Does anyone know why IM is now so slow operating on a custom font, and if there is anything I can do to optimise the operation? Thanks.
With no font specified, this command runs in a tenth of a second:
[tony@linux ~]$ start=$(date +%s%3N) ; convert -pointsize 24 caption:"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" pic.png ; echo `expr $(date +%s%3N) - $start` ms
118 ms
With a custom font specified, the same command takes almost five seconds:
[tony@linux ~]$ start=$(date +%s%3N) ; convert -font /usr/local/share/fonts/c/code2000.ttf -pointsize 24 caption:"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" pic.png ; echo `expr $(date +%s%3N) - $start` ms
4650 ms

  • Using custom fonts in the Navigation pane

    Hi
    I'm using custom fonts in my webhelp. To do this, I created a folder for the web versions of the custom fonts and put it in the same folder as my css. I then added the font face elements to the top of my css (in Notepad). Next I used the custom font name for all the style defined in the css (in Notepad). That makes the content of the topics use the custom font. All good.
    Next, I edited the htt file (in Notepad) to use the name of the custom font. Now the breadcrumbs and topic footer use the custom font. All good.
    Finally, I want to use the custom font in the navigation pane (the text next to the books and page icons). I edited the skn file (in Notepad) to use the custom font. I also added a dependency for my css to the bottom of the skn file. Then I generated the webhelp.
    When I launch the help, the browser (IE) doesn’t allow running scripts or ActiveX controls (this is normal). At this point, the TOC in the Navigation pane looks like it uses the correct font. Once I click to allow IE to run scripts, etc. the font in the TOC changes to something that looks like Times or some default serif font.  So, it appears that something in the javascript is changing the font.
    For good measure, I checked the whtdhtml file and the custom font name is used there.
    Any ideas on what's happening and how to get my custom font to appear in the Navigation pane?
    BTW, I use images only in the toolbar pane (that spans the top of the webhelp window), so I don't need to specify the custom font there.

    Hi William
    I found one error. In the skin file, I had added a dependency to my css. It was missing a slash (/) to point to the correct folder level. Now that I've added that, the TOC displays the same font as the Index, Search results, and the topic (content, breadcrumbs, and footer). So, that's good, but on closer inspection, it looks like Verdana, not my custom font.
    I changed the font in whthost.js to the name of my custom font and generated the help, but it made no difference. I also changed the font and just opened the help without generating and got the same results.
    For your second suggestion, you mean whtdhtml.htm not whtdhtml.js? The custom font is in the lines:
    setFont("Normal", "MyFont","10pt","Black","Normal","Normal","none");
    setFont("Hover", "MyFont","10pt","#004080","Normal","Normal","underline");
    I added the <font> tag to this file, but the tag just shows up as plain text within the webhelp TOC (no matter where I insert it in the file).
    I also tried changing the font to my custom font for the Index body and Search results using the steps in Rick's Skinny on Skins (editing the whibody.htm and whfbody.htm files). When I do this, the serif font appears in the Index body and Search results.
    It seems like the files cannot "see" my custom fonts (which are in a folder at the same level as my css).

  • Using custom fonts in app development?

    Could somebody inform me if it is possible to use custom fonts of choice when developing an app. If so are there any restrictions? I have read that sinds OS 3.2 iPhonesupports custom fonts, ttf and otf  fonts. Is this not the case also  for the ipad? Or am I completely off track?
    If one can add custom fonts do they work along the same lines as embedded webfonts, availale for all users even if they are not  on their ipad?
    I am a media design lecturer looking for correct info for my students who are doing the visual design voor an app.

  • HOW TO: using custom fonts in native storyboard views from an ANE on iOS

    Hey,
      In our apps, we have embedded storyboards into an ANE, and successfully used those screens in an AIR app, and figured out how to use custom fonts in those views.
      I wrote a quick blog post about it and just thought I'd share it real quick in case it helps someone.

    Hi WayHsieh,
    >>can I just "install" fonts through Word App? Does Word Apps have enough privilege to install fonts on Windows? Can I just click a button in Word App, and then it will install fonts automatically?<<
    Based on my understanding, it is hard to achieve the goal. Because the app webpage is hosted inside an Internet Explorer control which, in turn, is hosted inside an app runtime process that provides security and performance isolation and it is under
    low-Integrity level.
    Here is the figure for apps for Office runtime environment in Windows-based desktop and tablet clients:

  • What is the best way to add and use custom fonts with Eloqua?

    We have a custom font that we'd like to use with Eloqua and were wondering how others might have successfully approached this.

    ~~Disclaimer: This answer refers to email fonts only - landing page font imports are discussed below~~
    Hi Brett,
    I took a look at these two posts: Re: Tips for getting the E10 email editor to change the email font for Outlook & other old-school email clients? and Re: E10 Fonts
    It seems that there are reasons as to why only a few of the fonts are supported. You can drill down into the source code to edit the font type, but I'm not sure that will get you anywhere.
    To drill down:
    To get the desired font & size in various clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook) I found that specifying in the html works best.
    So whether it’s a P or TD, tag I add the style attribute & specify the font along with color & size.
    e.g.:
    <td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12px;">
    Of course if you use the WYSIWYG editor you will have to view the html source & add this.

  • Using custom fonts in iBooks Author

    I have a book in South Asian (Indic) script. The encoding is Unicode. I wanted to see how different fonts would look on iPad. Using iBook Author i created two different versions of the book. One used Gujarati MT, Apple supplied font. The second used open source TTF font. It checked out fine by MacOS when I installed it. The rendering of conjuncts (which would use additional glyph present in the font file) on iBook Author  looks good. When I use "preview" function of iBook Author to see how the content would look on iPad, conjuncts dont use special glyph but only standard character (I guess GSUB is not utilized). I tried the same experiment with Arial Unicode MS and Shruti both are standard fonts provided under Windows. it appears that only Apple supplied fonts have correct glyph substitution on iPad.
    Is there a way to fix it?
    If the issue is with iBook Author, I can use another software. My book is plain text so Author is an overkill. I was using it to test embedding of custom fonts because Author is easy to use.
    If the issue is missing definition in the font that is required by iPad rendering engine, I can get the font author to enhance the font.
    I attach four images. First two are from iBook Author where rendering is correct. The next two are from iPad where rendering using non Apple font is messed up.

    Is comment about enhancing the font to support AAT still relevant? Are you saying that iOS needs those AAT extension that macOS does not need? Is this mostly around MORX table?
    iOS (and OS X) comes with two Gujarati fonts, Gujarati MT and Gujarati Sangam MN.  So the easiest thing to do is to use one of those.   Other platforms will probably have their own default Gujarati fonts with different names.
    If you want to embed a different Gujarati font in your .ibooks format book, then you will indeed have to convert that font from OpenType to AAT before iBooks will display it correctly.   It's not true that OS X no longer needs AAT Indic fonts -- Pages for example still cannot use Opentype Indic fonts.
    To convert an Opentype Indic font to an AAT Indic font I think someone will have to add a morx table along the lines of what is contained in Gujarati MT.
    Bear in mind that iBooks Author creates a format that can only be read on an iPad (unless you want to export to PDF).  If you want to produce books for all platforms and readers, then you need to use .epub format and a different app, like Pages or Indesign.   With epub format you would probably not normally try to embed fonts but just  rely on the reader to supply whatever Gujarati font is already on the device.

  • Crash when using custom font

    I'm trying to use FontAwesome for its neat icons, and started off by doing this:
    @Override

        Label label = new Label("\uf067\uf044\uf014");
        label.setFont(Font.loadFont(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/fonts/awesome.otf"), 28));

  • Photoshop will only let me use custom font sizes

    Hello
    I've been having a strange issue for awhile that I thought would eventually go away with an update but hasn't. Having used photoshop for years, I've always been able to click in the text size menu of the character panel and either type in a pt size or increment larger or smaller with my up and down arrows on the keyboard. I can no longer do that -- when I try to type in the new font size -- say 25 -- my text is actually replaced with the numbers "25" and the font size stays the same. If I choose a default size from the drop down menu (18, 24, 36, 48, etc) it will change size but I'm not able to enter any custom sizes. I get the same behaviour in the option bar.
    I'm using the most up to date version of CC on an late 2012 Imac 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 running the most recent version of Mavericks ( OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)), but this has been happening since Mountain Lion and atleast the first version of CC, possibly CS6.
    It doesn't matter what font I use and happens on every document. I've also tried to reset the tools and delete the preferences.
    I do use the no-longer -supported free version of Linotype Explorer but it seems more like a photoshop issue.
    This is obviously really frustrating and I haven't been able to find anyone else with the exact problem. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    The key combos still work for changing type point size, just not in Preferences-controlled-increments (instead, whole point sizes, 1 point at a time) -- and you can also input any point size. Are you using the Character Palette?
    On Mac, "Command-Shift->" increases the point size 1 point, and "Command-Shift-<" reduces it by 1 point size (if the type is selected).
    If you use the Character Palette (Command-T on Mac), you can input any point size you want, up to 1/1000th of a point: 24.582 pt. size, for example.

  • IWeb 08 - Custom Fonts not loading Anymore

    All,
    When I had iWeb '06 installed I could use custom fonts when designing and the fonts would display on any computer without having to install them. It seems that iWeb '06 used to load them as images.
    Now in iWeb '08 that doesn't seem to be the case. Now you have to have the fonts on your system to view them. Anyone know a way in '08 to change this. Or should I just create those portions as images then add them to the page?
    Thanks to all who respond.

    HI phantom27,
    While in iWeb, go to iWeb help and type in fonts in the search box.
    In the results page, look at the bottom where it says "iWeb:Tips for making text appear consistant in all browsers. It will give you all the info you need.

  • Custom font not exported in PDF

    Hello Guys,
    In my web application, I have a crystal report developed in CR11 R2 SP3. The report uses custom font and it works fine when shown in report viewer.
    However I get errors while exporting report as PDF.
    1) In windows 2003 server, the pdf is exported without the font values.
    2) In Windows XP, pdf is not exported at all and I get an error:
    Error in File C:
    WINDOWS
    TEMP
    CrystalReport1 {6A26233D-4832-44B1-AC8E-A21421F6A2E4}.rpt:
    Error detected by export DLL.
    Can anybody please help. One more thing. The custom font is fine and has been working fine in other crystal report based applications.
    Thanks,
    Shahzad

    Ok, two suggestions:
    A)
    1) On your web app that throws the error, place label and a text box on your web form
    2) Use the custom font for the label and in the text box
    3) Run the app
    Does that work?
    B)
    If it does, I'd recommend using filemon and regmon utilities to fins out what is failing. Filemon can be found here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx
    Regmon is here;
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/regmon.mspx
    Instructions on how to use the above:
    1) Load Filemon
    2) Press Ctrl + L. This will bring up the filter window.
    3) In the 'include' text box, put the name of the aspnet worker process, without the full path. ie: aspnet_wp.exe (ok)
    4) Click <OK>
    5) Press Ctrl + X to clear the display.
    6) run your application, get it to the point where it errors.
    7) Save the filemon log. File -> Save as
    8) Look for files where the 'result' column is not successful.

    What type of subclass did you put the code in? Mines is a UIView subclass but doesnt work.
    What kind of interface and with what controls are you using? I am simply making a UIView with the code in order to test to see if it works and test other properties and customizable functions of the custom fonts. It doesnt work.
    What specific property declarations must be in the .h file? I have none and it doesnt work.
    Note that when I say it doesnt work, it actually compiles without errors, but when I build and go I just get a blank grey screen.
    What say you?

    To use Stanza you need Stanza's desktop client in order to get your books onto the iPhone. If you have an account with eReader.com, you can upload personal content to your bookshelf and transfer them to eReader on your iPhone in the same way you do books purchased from eReader's website. Keep in mind that neither will work with MobiPocket books that are DRM protected. Stanza will work with non-DRM formatted books (including Mobi's format), but nothing which has DRM protection. I have both and use Stanza for anything without DRM protection, and eReader for books Palm formatted books with DRM protection.

  • Keynote to ipad, with custom fonts and graphics

    Have a keynote presentation we've spent a lot of time on.
    Custom fonts, graphics.
    I've given up trying to import it into keynote on the iPad. Fonts alone are a big issue.
    So, trying converting it to quicktime, but then it plays as a movie, there is no simple, elegant solution to pause, or tap through the presentation.
    Or, am I missing something?!
    Appreciate any help.

    Hi, i found this "solution".
    It's impossible to upload new fonts on iPad, but you can convert your slides in pictures and upload your new presentation on iPad.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.
