Suggestion : A Tool or a Window that allow to emulate the font thickness.

Here's a suggestion for Illustator.
Many fonts doesn't have a "bold" option or even a "light" option. We can do this by redrawing the font, but that's not a smart way to work, since we're using a graphic software. Illustrator must have a tool or a windows that allow you to emulate the font thickness, using a algorithm to determine the font proportions.
If I'm wrong, and Illustrator already have a tool like that, please inform me.
Thanks

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
but Myriad or Helvetica can be do easily.
Just because fonts are sans-serif doesn't mean they have uniform thickness strokes. Neither Myriad nor Helvetica do. What you are describing is commonly known as faux bold. As has been explained, it is a very amateurish practice, like disproportionately scaling text instead of using a proper condensed. It's a bad idea. Don't do it. For those who insist on such bad practice, it's no big deal to apply a stroke to the text.
It certainly should not be encouraged as a standard feature.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

APC, CyberPower are reliable.
Look for 1500VA. As example:

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored

Hi, I have a problem with fonts because in the window I can't see the font, they are transparent. how can I fix this?

giadad,
It sounds as this issue:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way in this section under the address bar. It is only in firefox where this is a problem

There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not respond or recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way. This is the only program we are experiencing this problem with.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I can't seem to set a default font size in Safari 6.0. I can zoom in and zoom out, but everytime I close the window and reopen, it's back to being huge again. Any suggestions? To be clear, I'm trying to make the font size smaller.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

In Safari > Preferences > Advanced the smallest the font size can be set to is 9.

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

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?

Use Windows Display Setting to enlarge the font size

Hi,
I'm using JDK1.4.1 on Windows2000. I wrote a Swing app that used native Windows LookAndFeel.
I'm wondering if I can use the Windows Control Panel->Display->Settings to adjust the font type and size for the Swing app. I tried it but failed.
So are the font type and font size in Java App adjustable only through programing APIs?
thanks,
Richard

So are the font type and font size in Java App adjustable only through programing APIs?Yes. WindowsLookAndFeel doesn't see any Windows native font settings.
But I think there's a way to do so (Although I have no experience about
that). Here's some hints...
Get the font settings from Windows by using JNI, and set these fonts
to UIManager like this.
UIManager.getDefaults().put("Button.font", new Font("Dialog", 0, 20));
(Try this code and you will see the Button-font changes).

I need a visually impaired configuration that 1) standardizes all the fonts on a page to one size, so that ... (cont'd)

2) they can all be maximized to the largest possible size, while 3) NOT forcing table columns larger than the screen width so that all the text in a column STAYS ON THE DAMNED SCREEN! Is there a way to do this (so far the add ons have come up lacking, and do NOT cover all three bases)...
There may be a CSS style sheet solution that I haven't seen.
An add on called "Readability" works sometimes but only with certain "articles," but they have an approach that can be considered useful for expanding on.
The Firefox FONT features are inadequate and give poor results in the real world.
The minimum font size MAX of 24 is too small, and changing it in about:config gives poor results as well. It is necessary to force all font sizes to be the same first, before applying these algorithms. How can this be done?

I've tried both of those. The problem is that they don't normalize all the fonts on the page first. The large header fonts push the columns too large, while the smaller fonts don't increase enough compared to the headers. This makes for either fonts that are too small where I want to actually read, or it pushes the text OFF THE SCREEN.
None of these add ons has tackled this obvious issues properly (on my Firefox 4 installation anyway).
That is except for the Readability plug in, which only works with certain pages, but it does a pretty good job on those. See the Readability add on and try it for a better understanding of what I need to use the web efficiently.
Thanks.

How do I recover a window that has gone off the screen ?

The upper and right hand sides of my "Adobe Elements Organizer" application window have gone permanently off my Imac screen and try as I might, I can't drag or minimize this window to centre it on my desktop as a much smaller size and thereby recover control of it.    The missing window top contains some commands I can't access and so does the missing right hand side of the application window. Have tried junking app prefs, turning off Spaces, starting and restarting the computer.   Problem does not occur in other accounts using the same app - so something is screwed up with this app's window size defaults or settings or prefs in my user account only.
anyone have any suggestions?
Deleting all the "com.adobe.elements organizer.plist" files does NOT cure my problem.   I suspect it has something to do with Mavericks' poorly tested 'multiple displays' feature -- that likely has some bugs in it.   This app window seems to think it's on a much bigger monitor than my 21.5" Imac.'   short of removing and reinstalling the app itself or getting a windows machine, I can think of nothing else to do.

Not sure I follow what you mean: When I open Mission Control, the entire troubled application window is then (hurrah !!!) visible on the Mission Control "Overview" screen - but when I c\olick in that app and I am returned to the normal operating screen, it's all cut off again. It will not let me click and hold and then drag on its lower black border; I can only resize it in the direction that pushes it further off the screen.
This app's main window remains stubbornly frozen in position - up at, and extending right off of, the top right of my screen and it does not respond to normal dragging - normal attempts to pull it down and see the lower right corner so I can resize the window by dragging its corner inward diagonally.
Can you describe what you want me to try in different words. By invoking I assume you mean opening mission control.   That I am doing and that's the only way I can see the whole window looming quite normal.   But it won;t render for me that normal way on a normal operating screen.

Suggestion : A Tool or a Window that allow to emulate the font thickness.
