If you have nvidia video and are using the nvidia driver then add the following to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one) and restart X:
Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
If you are using gnome then select System -> Preferences -> Appearance, click on the Fonts tab, click on Details... and check that the resolution is also set to 96 dots per inch. While you are there, set smoothing to subpixel and hinting to full, or pick whatever other setting looks best.
Edit: Oh, and make sure that you have the ttf-ms-fonts package installed.

About:config and bold text

I have noticed that showing ALL bookmarks is very slow.
I understand that Firebug is sometimes cause for slow behaviour as posted on some notices for applications.
I like to check why is this and disabled some Ads-on.
Issue is what is actually about:config and bold text like:
accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar;0
Is it bold text warning that something is wrong?
Ref:I have upgraded to new version 9.beta4

No bold text in about:config means that the value it has modified from you or from a add-on or for a program that related with firefox(flash or anything)......

if you like to read about:config:

probably the browsing some times are slow because as you allready known 9.0 is a beta version, and for the reason you tell us, Firebug.
thank you

Firefox 22 changed and locked Windows 7 title bar (big and bold)

Not sure why the decision was made to map to Windows settings, but the upgrade from FF21 to FF22 has also changed and locked my Windows 7 Toolbar font settings (active and inactive). They are now big and bold. While I can change the color, I cannot change the font, font size, or unbold (stays bold regardless of "B" being highlighted or not).
Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but it just made my Windows ugly.
See the image. Color is changed, but the font isn't a size 6 and it's also bold when shouldn't be.

Fix by reverting to a pre-FF22 registry backup entry for:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Control Panel
Desktop
WindowsMetrics
You can't really modify the entries in regedit as they are hex data values. But this did (after a few hours) solve my problem.

Big and small text alignment

Why doesn't InDesign align text to the border of the textframe?
Especially with big and small text in the same textframe, the gaps before the text are scaled too making text optically not aligned at all.
Optical margin alignment helps a bit, but not good enough.
Am i overlooking something?
Still working in CS3 btw.

Ok knowing the right term "side bearing", i did some google searching and stumbled upon this topic at indesignsecrets:
http://indesignsecrets.com/removing-space-along-left-edge.php
There's a link to a script from Dave Saunders that aligns the letters optically to the left. Tested and works! InDesigns own optical margin alignment should be turned of though. I immediately assigned a shortcut to this great script.
PS: Concerning the "why is side bearing split into left and right": i guess for example a letter 'D' for example shouldn't have equal side bearings because of the rounding to right.

Hi BRAEWOOD DEVELOPMENTS,

ITunes 10.7 - The menus have disappeard and search text is invisible

After I downloaded iTunes 10.7 the menues have disappeared, they are invisible (file, settings etc.), and the text I write in the search box is invisible. Any clues?
B

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:
Re: iTunes 10.1 Missing Text
But if you're using Windows 7, try itunesTRK's suggestion from the following post:

How to merge objects or have italics and plain text on same line?

Okay, here's my problem - I've been making DVDs in CS5 for a couple of years. In my main menu it usually says something like "Play show title here" and the show title is italicized. Unfotunately, now in CS6, I suddenly can't just highlight the show title and change it to italics, because now it wants to italicize the entire line including the word "Play". If I make "Play" a separate title, so that I can have it in standard font, I can't figure out how to merge it with my show title so that they are highlighted together and work as one single button. Frustrating. Any solutions?

I don't recall if we found a way to do it in Encore; it is so much simpler in Photoshop.
The problem in Encore is selecting only the text, not the whole text box.

My site previews fine in live, explorer and firefox, but the fonts are extra large and bold on chrome, this is my first site, please assist. I will be happy to provide screenshots and code or css sheets.

Working on my first site, Am getting different previews. Chrome tends to make the font big and bold while all other browsers work fine. Here is what the preview looks like in chrome followed by the firefox preview. I have my CSS and HTML code sheets below. Am also having a hard time centering the navigation links, they are a little closer to top of the navigation div than the bottom. Any assistance will be appreciated. Please feel free to point any other errors, am sure there is some in there.

Are there differences between Solaris 8 and Solaris 2.6 in the way web pages are displayed for Chinese and Korean text using UTF-8 settings?

A user is running a web application on Solaris Release 2.6 with UTF-8. After the server was updated to Solaris 8, the application is experiencing problems with webpages containing Korean and Chinese text. The encoding is UTF-8. Has anyone experienced this problem? I checked the packages installed on Solaris 8 and they are consistent with what was installed on Solaris 2.6. Could this possibly be a patch-level problem? Thank you.

Hi,
It could be a problem with the necessary patche updation. refer the following FTP site for the Solaris pathces.
connect through the FTP cleint to sunsolve.sun.com
/pub/patches directory contains a lot of patches for solaris.
Find and install the corresponding patch require to solve your problem.

N78 browser can't display bold text

I found a problem with my N78 phone. I used the Nokia 6110 Navigator to access the webmail and it used to display the new messages in bold. However, after I changed the phone to N78, it no longer able to display the new messages in bold.
I then write up a very simple HTML page to test the N78 built-in browser behaviour for bold text dislay and the result is negative. Both the normal text and bold text are displayed the same. Bold text are not bold when displayed in N78 browser.

wait for firmware update

What version of Pages are you referring to?
Basically if you are talking about the Table of Contents in Pages and want to have different character styles within paragraphs in the T.O.C. you will have to export the T.O.C. and bring it back in as text and change that.

Applescript to edit several .pages files and make them have all bold text?

No very little about apple script but I would like to drop a bunch of .pages files on a script and convert all the text to bold
This was my first attempt:
on open theFiles

                    repeat with aFile in theFiles
open aFile
                              set bold to true
                              set docName to name of front document
-- Remove .pages extension.
                              set prevTIDs to AppleScript's text item delimiters
                              set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ".pages"
-- Add .pdf extension.
                              set docName to first text item of docName & ".pdf"
                              set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevTIDs
-- Get folder that dropped file exists in.
                              tell application "Finder"
                                        set sourceFolder to (container of aFile) as Unicode text
                              end tell -- Finder

Any help will be appreciated!

Opps
Obviously the bulk of the script is to create pdf files.
I just tried to piggy back onto that and BOLD everything.

How do I use serial port read and show text, but not have it scroll off screen?

I am new-ish/returning amateur user of Labview and I am trying to edit the example VI "Advanced serial write and read VI" that is part of dev suite 2012. I need to use the string box to show ALL text received from serial port, always appending and only rolls off screen when more real data arrives at serial port.
What is actually happening is as more bytes (or no bytes AT ALL!) arrive during read time, current text rolls off the string box. Even when 0 bytes are received, screen is blanked out.  I am not very familiar with functions locations and even worse at understanding obscure references to functions, so please keep replies very basic so I can follow.
Just to be clear, I need the string window to behave like hyperterm does-always shows data and it is not pushed out of window arbitrarily.
Thanks,
Steve

OK- lets start back at the beginning. I have a few questions...
WHy does incoming txt get placed at top of txt box and then scroll up?  why would it make more sense to input at the bottom and scroll toward the top. I have created this huge txt box that appears to be impossible to use.
I have attached example of txt boxes I have tried, and pic of VI I have edited. Bad marks for uglyness....
