Suddenly the fonts shown on screen becomes incomplete

While working on my laptop, suddenly the following phenomenon happens. Some characters are shown correclty, some not. As shown in the follwing figure, all "i" are missing.
The same thing happened to firefox. But after restart the firefox, this is gone.
does any one here know what happened?
The fonts for the terminator is "inconsolata medium", the destop environment is "I3wm".
Here is a picture for all characters that I have on the keyboard
After restart, it now recovered. But I do still wonder what happened.

Have you figured out what happened? I do still see this happen occasionally.

Hey there!
It sounds like you are having trouble updating iTunes, even though you are connected to the internet. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve any software conflicts, or security software issues:
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3125
If this does not resolve the issue, I would next remove the iTunes software (this will not compromise your iTunes library):
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP

Then download iTunes with this link and install it:

Suddenly the text on my screen is blurry.

My computer was fine earlier today. I went out (left it on and it went into sleep mode). When I returned, the text on the screen was all blurry. Not only that, but it changed the size of the screen so that nothing that's on it fits as it is supposed to.
Oddly, when I created a second account, there was nothing wrong with the screen in that account.
I've loaded all the current updates.
My bad, though - my last back up was in December (thought I had Time Machine on but it seems I turned it off some time after the end of December, don't recall why or when exactly).
This appears to be a software issue.
Is there a fix?

Didn't work.
And how would the resolution of the screen change without someone fiddling with it?
No, this isn't a screen resolution problem. It looks like the system has lost connection to the font it is supposed to display. There are no recognizable fonts in any of the items I open. It looks like a kind of generic font with odd colour shadows behind letters.
When I created a new account, the display was perfect.
How does something like this happen spontaneously? I was absent from my computer - and no one else has access to it - for a couple of hours and whatever happened, happened in that time I was absent.
I need to get this fixed right away as I have a graphic design project coming in shortly and I really need to see the font I will be working in.

The 'Brightness/Contrast' dialogue screen becomes unexplainably absent in PhotoShop 7.0 on XP

About every year of so the 'Brightness/Contrast' screen becomes unexplainably absent while using my PhotoShop 7.0 in XP. When I click on 'Brightness/Contrast' the eyedropper becomes active as usual but the dialog screen with the two 'sliders' for brightness and contrast is not visible. Where is it? If I uninstall and reinstall it's OK again for a while.

It's not unheard of for dialogs to become lost off screen. It can happen
when you reconfigure your display rez, or rearrange monitors.
Before you re-install (assuming this happens again), try resetting your
prefs by pressing the ctrl-alt-shift keys during startup.

When I use Firefox as my browser and go into email the font on my screen is so small that you can hardly read it. I cannot make it larger, even going into the email account and enlarging the font? Help!!! It is only happening on email.

I am using bellsouth.net and if I use IE it is the correct size. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop.

Try resetting the zoom level for that domain.

Why have the font sizes in my existing emails suddenly changed from uniform to mixed?

All of a sudden the font sizes in my existing emails have changed from the same size to different sizes -- some larger, some smaller. Also, in some cases the font has changed from normal to bold. I used to be able to solve this problem when it happened before by closing and reopening TB, but that doesn't work anymore. I haven't made any changes to the font settings. Any suggestions?

probably related to the original ISSUE. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1007786#answer-597502

When drag the progress indicator screen become blank

Hi
I have made the simulation with captivate 4 around 45 slide and publish into the swf format and publish swf file load in the flash 8 move with his own control. When I drag the progress bar indicator screen become blank. Please help me.
Regards,
Manish

When you drag the progress indicator, it pauses the playback.
So it could be that you've dragged to a point where your objects from one slide have faded out but the ones from the next haven't started to fade in yet.
Clicking the Play button on the playbar should get you going again, if that's what's happpened.

Fonts on help screen

Hi,
I know this sounds very odd, but suddenly the font on the
Dreamweaver 8 help screens has gotten so small I can hardly read
them! I'd say they're about 6 pt. The index on the left side of the
help screen is fine, it's just the body of the text on the right
side of the help screens. These are the std. help screens within
Dreamweaver, not anything I authored. If I print them to a pdf file
it's the same... tiny.
I've tried things like Ctrl + and rebooting with no
improvement. It's not happening in other products such as Image
Ready or Photoshop CS2. If someone can tell me how to get back to a
readable size font I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

Increasing the font size of an ALV report while printing it.

The requirement is to increase the font size of an ALV report while printing it. The ALV Report is coded using the Factory method.
I could find a class called CL_SALV_ITEM with a SET_FONT method but I am not sure how to link it with the CL_SALV_TABLE class from which the display table has been created. I even tried checking the report display in SPOOL transaction SP01.But I guess the font shown there depends on the SAP GUI settings.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks and regards

The status bar is a fixed fontsize which does not change. While I have no problem reading the time off the status bar you should also have the time on the lockscreen and/or glance screen with a much larger font so I do not really see the issue.
I have all my music on SkyDrive so would not know for sure, but check out THIS to see if it serves your needs.

Embedding fonts in an existing pdf that does not have the fonts embedded

Hi,
I have an existing pdf that fails to open on my ereader.
So I opened in acrobat x pro to see what might be the cause.
Selecting "file"--> "properties" -->"font" ( fonts used in this document) I can see that this pdf uses multiple windows trueType fonts and that none of them are embedded in the pdf document.
Now my ereader is linux bases, so I am guessing this might be a problem.
Being an ereader I didn' give me much to go on.
So i would like to embed all the fonts listed in this list into the pdf file and save it again with the fonts embedded.
I went to "file"-->"save as optimized pdf" -->"font"
But there both lists embedded and unembedded fonts are empty.
Why is this and how can I embed the fonts shown in the document properties into the pdf?
They seem standard windows fonts like e.g. ArialNarrow

I just looked a bit furder and actually checked wether the fonts existed and found the following:
I am using windows vista.
The fonts mentioned in the properties of the pdf actually exist in the windows installed fonts but
in windows they are no longer TrueType but OpenType.
So I am guessing this might be the reason they are not in the list of unembedded fonts in the optimizer window.
Is there an easy way to say to acrobat to replace one font ( not found on this computer) with another font that does exist and also to embed that font in the pdf document?

How can I make the font size in my address bar smaller?

On my laptop running Windows XP, Firefox 7, suddenly the font size on my tabs and in the address bar are huge. I have no idea what happened to make them that way. It's horrible.

I finally got the font size issue remedied. I somehow had an add on to make the print large in the address bar. But I have saved your tip to a folder for future reference and thank you so much.
Now if someone could just help me with this crashing business. I can't isolate it because nothing is constant. I unselected hardware acceleration and this is the longest I've gone without a crash, but I'm not thinking I've got it solved.
This is on an old laptop running XP. Firefox was running just fine until yesterday morning when I uninstalled RoboForm and installed LastPass. After that I started getting the crashes, yet I'm not pretty sure they have nothing to do with LastPass itself.

How do I make the view of my screen smaller?

There must have been an automatic update to Firefox in the last few days because suddenly, the images on my screen went from normal to gigantic. The size increase is about 150%. Any ideas on how to make it go back to 100%?

Thank you! It was so easy, it never even occurred to me to try that!

Why are the graphics/page in facebook suddenly smaller font and images? Is not happening in IE and screen resolution is correct.

I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.
