Static images and font licensing in embedded device?

If the designer of a GUI for an embedded industrial product uses an Adobe font (like Helvetica Neue) for display of numeric information, can the manufacturer of the GUI include static, bitmapped images of numerals from the font in the embedded software, thereby negating the need for the font file, and thus negating the need for an OEM/embedded license for the product?
To put it another way:
Licensing the font software itself is almost certainly cost prohibitive for this kind of application. Because only a few characters are needed, can licensing costs be avoided by including those characters as bitmapped files (created in Photoshop with a licensed copy of the font) instead of the original font software?
Thank you for any help.

sambapati,
The licencing pertains to the use of the live font, so your using images of letters/numerals can be no breach of the terms.

When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

Not all fonts can be packaged depending on their licensing. Some fonts are set to not allow packaging. For those you would have to manually locate them on your computer and add them to the folder where the packaging occurred.
For the images have you checked the "copy links" option?

Image and font rendering

Hi all:
I have some questions about font and image rendering in
flash. At time, the images Im using on my application are in png
format, I have noticed that my swf is not very big in size(about
140Ks), however, when I load it, the memory used increases
amazingly (nearly 2MB), whats the policy of compressing and
uncompressing of png images?.
Also, some attached images are a bit decreased on width, is
that caused by the image renderer of flash player?
The fonts displayed (when I use font including glyphs) are
displayed a little bit blurry too.
Any advice about the configuration of fonts or imported
images?.
Regards

Assuming you are using s60 and checking memory on the phone,
I believe the standalone will grab memory from the device once it
starts running. So, the 2mb is probably Flash Lite occupying its
maximum allowed memory, and maybe not particular to your SWF. You
can test this by loading another swf of different size and checking
memory.
Make sure that x,y coordinates of images and fonts are on
whole number values , not decimals. Also make sure the text box
size is whole number value. Font blurriness maybe from Flash
anti-aliasing. Have you tried to display your text without
anti-alias. Are you using a mask over device fonts? (flash will
embed a font in this case and not use device font).

Packaging images and fonts

Hi,
I am wondering if there are any adobe or other reliable plugins for Illustrator CS3 that enable the packaging of all linked images and fonts used within the Illustrator file (just like the 'Package' function in In Design.

Google for "Art Files" and "Scoop."

Compressing (mpeg4?) a movie with static images and fades. Best settings?

Hey there,
I'm using compressor with Final Cut HD and a Powermacg5.
I have a movie made mostly of static images (experimental piece with landscapes) and fades between them.
Firstly, does anyone have any great tips for compressing a quicktime movie for the web (so probably mpeg 4) that works well with images that are mostly still? The mpeg4 setting with h264 are okay (ntsc image size, 30fps), but every so often there's sudden blocky-ness when there is a little bit of motion in the frame. Any ideas?
Secondly, the images go really chunky when there is a slow dissolve between the images, any compression ideas there?
I'll be experimenting myself but I thought it best to ask you guys first ... any tips?
Thanks
Richard

Hi everyone
Is it possible to compress a movie ( 83 minutes long
) for a Single DVD without any pixellations ?
If so I need to know what is the best settings...
I keep compressing with a bit rate about 6 and my dvd
still looks bad (pixels on transitions and sometimes
pauses).
I don't know what I could have done wrong !!!
I don't want to use double layer and I can't split my
movie into 2 dvds.
Can someone walk me through this step by step ?
Many thanks
I think it should be, the setting I always use are:
Vide: 7.4Mbps, One pass, Motion Estimation: Best
Audio:Dolby 2.0 Datarate 256 kbps.
I have tried a lot of combos but this is the only settings I can get with no pixellations. I'm always happy with the result and its fast! You might need to knock back the data rate to make 83 mins fit.

PC Suite Image and Font Size

Hi.The control panel for PC Suite is awfully small, and the fonts for the text are even smaller, down to what would be termed in the printer's trade as "granite" size. When I need to Scroll, for example down to my phone carrier to log in, or when I need to read the "Help" manual, I cant see what I need to read because the print is so ridiculously minisucule. Will the Adminstrato4rs of Nokia/PC Suite please enlarge the command windows and fonts to a usefull and viisible size ?? Thanks. Ringmeup2Scotty.

hi mate,
Nokia PC Suite development has stopped and the product is no longer actively supported. suggest migrating/using Nokia Suite instead, of which the latest version is available for download from http://nokia.com/nokiasuite
As for the suggestion, you can leave such suggestions over at Nkoia BetaLabs under the Nokia Suite application page: http://betalabs.nokia.com

@font-face and font licenses

Hello,
I'm working with a developer who has a licensed version of Adobe's "Univers" font. Can we use @font-face from CSS 3 to include this font in our website? Or, do we need to use a different type of font-embedding in order to work with the font's licensing type.
Thanks,
erichb2010

I thought you meant font-family. If this font is already included with Snow Leopard, why do you need to embed it? Just refer to it and include a fallback. Windows users won't see the font - bummer for them.
No, you may not extract the font from the operating system and serve it up on your own web site. You can't include Apple files even if you are writing an application that only runs on Macs. If a resource is available on the system, you can use it. You may not copy it except as a backup. You certainly can't distribute it.

Font licensing and EULA: Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition

Hi all,
I'm not necesarilly working with graphic design daily. However, I may have to replicate a design for a publication that uses Adobe Garamond Pro, which is why I got interested in Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition.
However, before I shell out the cash, I'd like to ask a few questions about related EULA's and font licensing issues - as the last thing I want to do is buy something, and then end up sued/financially destroyed/imprisoned anyways. (which is why I prefer with open fonts & software - at least no worries about prison, in case of misunderstanding the legalese)
So, here are the questions:
I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose? Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.
Macintosh can use OpenType, Mac Type1, Mac TrueType, and Win TrueType. Adobe products can read some Windows Type 1 fonts if installed in the correct folder.
Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.... so just to make sure: I would definitely download the OpenType if I buy from the above Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition link, right?
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it. Thus, I'd be interested in re-donwloading the Adobe Type Basics package. So is this package a zip file or similar, if so - how big is it? Can I download the file multiple times after purchase? Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
I may have to do (in a role of page layouter for an academic institution) a document for a relatively big academic publisher (Springer); and I have little idea about how font licensing works there. Let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the publisher for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? I'm worried because I found in Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:As I understand it, print service providers are required by the font EULA to own the font even though the customer provides it.
I suggest you ask your customer to purchase the modern OpenType versions of the fonts. ... but then, Springer are "publishers", not "printers"? How worried should I be about this? Should I ask for confirmation in writing from them, that they own the particular embedded font? Then again, since in this case I'd be working for an academic institution as page layouter, should the academic institution also buy the font? If the academic institution already owns the font, am I legally obliged to own it as a page layouter (even if I'd use that font on the institutions computers with licensed fonts on them)? I'm pretty sure I'd be legally obliged to own it if I intend to prepare the layout on my own computer, is that correct?
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above). So, in this case, again the same situation: let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
Other neat related links I found:
Adobe Forums: Font EULA Question Re: Selling Logos;
Adobe Forums: font liscensing: upgrading from print to digital ...
Well, I believe this is all I have for asking (for now) - thanks in advance for any answers!

If you want Adobe Type Basics OpenType edition, then the fonts support multiple platforms. OpenType fonts work on Mac, Win and Linux systems.

Yes, the Adobe Type Basics Open Type Edition would provide you with OpenType versions of the fonts. Sorry that we don’t offer all the different fonts, font families and variations on CD-ROM, but it would be cost-prohibitive to make all those versions, and font software is relatively small compared to application software. That said, Our font EULA (End User License Agreement) which can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/pdfs/wf_EULA071111/EULA5seat_USEnglish07.11.11.htm l states: “2.5 Backup Copy. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.” So you can make your own CD-ROM.
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it.

Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
The file format is OpenType (CFF). I would recommend making a backup copy of these fonts if you don’t want to keep them on your system. Our Electronic Software Download service is not meant to be used for storage.

Wow! Lots of questions here. First of all, publishers publish. Printing is just one form of publishing. Embedding information for Adobe fonts can be found at the following:
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/additional_licenses.html
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/info/embedding.html
If you send a file to a print service provider and send a copy of the font along as well, then the printer needs to own a valid copy themselves. If you send the print service provider a PDF version of the file, then you can embed the font in the PDF (but you would not send the a raw version of the font). In this case, the printer doesn’t need the font, because it is embedded in the document.
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
If you buy a license for Adobe Garamond Pro, you have up to 5 seats. So, it can be installed on a maximum of five computers at your company. It is that simple to be in compliance. If you were to obtain Adobe Garamond Pro by purchasing Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition, then you can install the entire set on up to five computers at your company. You are licensing the set, and the fonts cannot be split up and used across multiple users at your company.
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use.

Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
Yes. It is legal to send the document to a print service provider with the font embedded in PDF. You are printing a document, and your interpretation of what it means to “publish” or be a “publisher” is not relevant. The words don’t even appear in our EULA.

Show static image then play 2 .flv

I want to have a player that shows a static image to begin with and then plays 2 short .flv files, one after the other and then reverts to the static image.
I've found this, which works beautifully for the static image and one movie clip but I don't know how to add the second movie clip.
startBtn.onRelease = function() {
// make sure your video has an instance name of vid
// and it is NOT set to auto play.
vid.play();
this._alpha = 0;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.stopped = function(eventObject) {
startBtn._alpha = 100;
vid.addEventListener("stopped",listenerObject);
listenerObject.playing = function(eventObject){
startBtn._alpha = 0;
//Or you can use startBtn._visible = false
vid.addEventListener("playing",listenerObject);
Any help would be very welcome!
Jeni

thankyou again.
that certainly sends the player back to the first movie but it stops after the first movie and doesn't play the second one again. Hitting the play button again, after that, just repeats the first movie. Any idea how I fix that?
This is what I've got now:
startBtn.onRelease = function() {
// make sure your video has an instance name of vid
// and it is NOT set to auto play.
vid.play();
this._alpha = 0;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.stopped = function(eventObject) {
startBtn._alpha = 100;
vid.addEventListener("stopped",listenerObject);
listenerObject.playing = function(eventObject){
startBtn._alpha = 0;
//Or you can use startBtn._visible = false
vid.addEventListener("playing",listenerObject);
vid.addEventListener("complete",listenerObject);
listenerObject.complete = function(eo:Object){
if(!numCompleted){
numCompleted=1;
vid.contentPath="v4.flv"; vid.play();
} else {
vid.contentPath="v2.flv";

(EA4500). With static IP assigned, how to tell of devices are connected?

I've assigned static IPs to all of my network devices.
Logging onto the router, there does not appear to be any way to tell whether any device is connected or not. Is this normal?

Static IP assignments are only done on the device itself. You switch the device from DHCP to static IP and configure everything on the device itself.
DHCP reservation is not a static IP assignment. It's telling the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to a specific device. The device still runs on DHCP and cannot tell whether the IP address received is the IP address reserved or not. That's something entirely different and not to be confused with static IP.
Linksys routers never showed a complete list of connected devices. As mentioned before, you can only see the list of wireless devices associated. You won't see wired devices with static IP nor DHCP reservation and even the DHCP client list is often incomplete...

By rotating the phone, the image and program remain static and do not turn with device

My name is Alexandra, I’m from Russia.
I have got IPhone 5. And screen rotation doesn’t work on it. (By rotating the phone, the image and program remain static and do not turn with device)
The IPphone's data is:
IMEI 01 340900 881941 7
ICCID 8970 1991 2092 3807 872
Vendors in my country explained to me that this case relates to the World APPLE warranty and I can exchange my IPphone for a new one in any licensed center in Europe. I want to reserve time for a visit to the AppStore in Barcelona for solution this problem. Is it possible? What do I need to carry?
I’m also more interested in possibility of replacing my phone on the same one in different color. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,

Not all screens rotate. For example, the home screen does not rotate.
Also, having the portrait lock turned on will prevent all screens from rotating.
This is covered in the User's Guide.
There is no International warranty on the iPhone, never has been.
Warranty and support are limited to the country of origin.
