[Solved]spacing between characters not correct on any termial emulator

Hi All,
I'm using Xfce on my laptop. The fonts don't look right in any of the terminal emulators. I've tried Xfce terminal, guake and terminator. Each one of them shows the same problem, sometimes the characters overlap and sometimes they are too far apart. You can have a look at the screenshot for xrandr output.

However, xterm looks just fine.
I'm currently using infinality-bundle fonts. However, the probem existed with the default fonts as well.
Thanks

It was a silly mistake on my part. I tried to install 'infinality-bundle-fonts' package, but since it errored out, I just totally ignored the whole package.

Well, turns out that installing those individual fonts resolves the problem. Its a bit tedious installing individual fonts(there are around 40 options to choose from), but it does solve the spacing problem.

How to Increase Spacing between characters in textfield

Hi Guys,
I need some kind of solution. I have a textField which I am using to getPassword( I don't want to use JPassword Field) because of older JVM.
suppose TextField is 15 characters wide and number of charactes I want to allow is 5 so I want an "*" then 2 spaces.
Is there any way I can create Custom character( like "* ") or any function to increase spacing between two chars in jtextField.
following are two ideas I have
1. get a char and append multiple white spaces after each char
2. create another class with multiple textfield with spaces between each textfield.
If you guys have any other easy way around.
I would really appriciate your help.

Spacing between characters too large when using line justification !!!!

Dear friends,
Since the first time when I have used Pages I noticed a somewhat annoying feature: Sometimes when I use line justification (left and right) the spacing between the characters increase substantially. Sometimes the spacing is ridiculously large. I guess that I have mad something wrong, but I do not know what. Can someone give me a hint what I should do to overcome this irritating aspect?!
Thanks in advance
LJ

There is no doubt that Mellel is a much better application than Pages in a lot of areas. It has been around for longer, it is more mature and it is actively maintained. Pages is of course better in a lot of other areas - and there is room for both on the market.
Mellel handles hyphenation in a much more advanced way than Pages and it has support for example for soft-hyphens, editable hyphenation dictionaries and hyphenation zones - something Pages lacks.
When it comes to the large space between characters, however, I cannot say that Mellel has invested a lot in making it look good. They just chose the simplest solution, just like MS Word, to increase space between words - not between characters. They even use this as an example of something ugly in Mellel's own user guide: "For example, the following text is fully justified but not hyphenated. The spaces between the words look wide and make the text look quite ugly."
As mentioned before, in some cases increasing space between words is the most pleasing solution to the eye. In some cases adding some space between characters is more pleasing, and that is the reason why Apple went to the extra trouble of adding that functionality. In many cases, it is not obvious which way is best, and people will have diverging opinions.

Pages 5: Spacing between bullets (not line spacing)

How can I control the spacing between bullets?
1. I clearly see how to control the spacing around a bullet relevant to its text. That's not what I'm referring to.
2. I clearly see how to set line spacing. That's not what I'm referring to.
What I'd like to do is keep a line spacing of 1.0 on the text, but add padding between list items (between bulleted content). The method in Pages '09 was to add buffer space "after the paragraph" (or before). However, in Pages 5.0 this option does not exist. Some of my bullets have enough content that wraps, which is why line spacing is not an acceptable solution.
How can I control spacing between bulleted list items, such that each chunk of content is better separated?
Thank you!

Silly me. I have located it, by expanding the Spacing menu. The control I'm looking for is right there.
I've included a screencap, in case anyone else misses the obvious like I have. Thanks for looking!

Mail: "Message contains NUL characters," not listed in ANY folder

On occasion, I will hear a new message sound in Mail, and I will see the little progress indicator showing an incoming message, but there is no trace of it in the inbox. If I am there to see the incoming notice and remember the message content, I can search for the message content in Spotlight and it will open the message. But if I then click "Show in Mailbox," it opens a Mail list window that is empty and labeled "No mailbox." If I try to move the message by dragging its title bar icon, nothing happens. If I try to use the Move command, I get "Append failed: Message contains NUL characters." If I command-click the message title bar, it tells me it's inside the inbox, but again it won't list it in the inbox. The physical message file itself resides in the Inbox folder in the Mail folder on the desktop. Rebuilding the mailbox does not make it appear in the list.
I've found various workarounds for shaking Mail into realizing the message exists and listing it, but my real question is this: The above is when I notice that a message has come in but is not listed. But what about messages that come in and are not listed, and I do not know they are there because I wasn't around when they came in?
How can I use a mail rule or other tool to locate messages that are not listed in any mailbox, or contain NUL characters?
I would really like to know if I've missed any important messages because they never appeared in the list, even though they exist somewhere.
Mail will not allow me to set up a mail rule on folders when no folder is specified.

One thing I can suggest you try is to move the Envelope Index files from your User Library>Mail Folder>MailData.
Quit Mail first, navigate to those files and move them to the desktop. Restart Mail. It should give a message that you need to Import your mail. Click continue. That should reindex all your mail messages.
This should help with wrong message counts, ghost messages, and hidden message problems.
Once Mail is running and OK, you can trash those files.

[SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost

Hi,
I am using KDEmod + Arch
After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
A screen shot is here:
http://twitpic.com/od3jh
What is to be done to rectify it?
Last edited by absolutevoid (2009-11-05 18:31:36)

Long:
You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
pacman -Q | grep stask will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
Short:
Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

Wrong encoding on disk: characters not correctly encoded [SOLVED]

I don't even know how to start investigating what's wrong. Clearly, some part of the encoding is wrong. For instance, (when I do "ls"):
Every character with some accent on it ü, ä etc are displayed in the same incorrect way. I have a fairly fresh install of Archlinux and run systemd (using the september install media). Any ideas of what I did wrong?
(It's fairly important as i have quite a few folders with these characters in it (which I copied from another computer, also running Arch) and I cannot access those folders anymore!)
Last edited by btorb (2012-10-17 09:48:08)

Solved: the /etc/locale.gen and /etc/locale.conf were incorrect.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ide#Locale for the guideline.
(Thanks Arch for such a good documentation! I leave this post as I can imagine toher people making the same mistake as I did)

UTF8 characters not correctly displayed whilst having encoding set to UTF8

Although the Encoding in Tools > Preferences > Environment is set to UTF8, SQL Developer is not able to display the UTF characters correctly.
I know for sure that I have tested this before using an older version of SQL Developer and then then this worked OK.
Can somebody tell me if I need to change anything else within SQL Developer to make sure the UTF8 characters like (Ὦ φῶς τελευταν σε προσλέψαιμ) are displayed correctly?
Our database (both SQL Server and Oracle) are both completely Unicode aware.
I'm using version 1.1.2.25 build MAIN-25.79.

Hello Barry,
'Where are you seeing this'
Well we are seeing this in the most used tab display on a table. So for instance our database is called PV50. Then from the connections window I double click on PV50 > Tables > <table_name> (in my example QUEUE_MESSAGE).
Then the table is opened. Then I goto the 'DATA' tab of this table and look at the column in which the UTF8 characters are stored. In there I see the wrong display at the moment. I hope this helps to sort out the problem.
If not please let me know.

Firefox will not correctly play any videos

Firefox 3.6.6 will not play any videos correctly. The audio is fine but the video is just blurry, colored smears.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com

I have the same problem in that videos are no longer playing correctly as of 3.6.6 but I am using Vista.
On youtube, videos are loading much more slowly then they were previously, I also notice that I can't play videos very well at all if I have more then one open in multiple tabs. Also, when I go to fullscreen it will either freeze up on full screen, play but I lose controls, play for a little bit and then freeze.
It's very frustrating.

[SOLVED] vim color highlighting not correctly displayed in vc/tty

For instance visual selection is set up to change fg/bg to black/green but changes fg to green. Under x using urxvt it displays correctly.

Tilde characters not apearing on any Java app

Hi,
I'm a Catalan person, so I use tilded characters most of the time, and I'm also a Java programmer and I've found some kind of issue, that only happens to me when I use Arch (which I've moved to it yesterday so I'm a newb on this distro after long time after tried Manjaro) and never happened to me before while I've used Mint or Ubuntu.
The problem is that when I type a character with a tilde on it such as 'á', it shows as 'a', without the tilde.
I have looked forward the Project encoding which is UTF-8, I've checked that the keyboard layout and the OS locales are setted right and all seems pretty OK.
Oh, I've aalso installed the Oracle Java jdk from AUR with Yaourt. May the problem be in there?
Thanks in advance,
Aitor.

IBus provides support for asian languages like Japanese and Chinese so I would suggest to remove it if you don't need it. The problem is that ibus is a depency of cinnamon (due to gnome-settings-daemon) and therefore it cannot be uninstalled. You can try to disable it, like it is suggested
here, and see what happens.

Reduced confirmation quantity not correct in ME22N/ME23N

Hi Guys,
We are working with confirmations for our purchase orders.
The problem is this:
After GR (+ corrections like 102 movements), the reduced quantity for the confirmation is correctly updated in the EKES-table.
Also, the stock & requirements list shows it correctly. Everything looks fine there.
However, when i look at that confirmation in ME22N or ME23N (confirmation tab), the reduced quanity visible is entirely different than visible in EKES and MD04 (and not correct).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

Please check if you have any media connected to your iMac when you shut it down. Any volumes connected under /Volumes/?

No Spacing Between Lines

My new glasses have been not quite right but this problem seems to be here at the discussions only ~ for me anyway.
There is no spacing between lines, not single spacing just jammed up under each line above when it is in the same paragraph. Very difficult to read.
If it is at my end can someone advise me how to rectify it. If it is at Apple's end then please rectify it.

mira --
Glad things have settled down.
May I make a suggestion?
In the future, when it's only happening on one site,
be sure to let us know that, OK? And give us the link, as well.
Apple Discussions has been having severe problems
for the last 2-4 weeks, and we could have told you immediately
that the problem was here -- Not with your glasses (been there, done that !)
and not with your Mac but here with these forums.
Hopefully it will be squared away soon.
