Switch off anti-aliasing

Hi,
Is there any method of disabling or switching off the
anti-aliasing in the adobe air environment. I understand this is
part of the webkit engine that adobe air uses, but was wondering if
there was some method, script maybe to disable this. Any help on
this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Prad

You can change many hidden font options using about:config (Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Config Editor). Find the option font.antialias.min and modify its value.
However, I think your fonts look very good and I wouldn't change them

    How to Turn Off anti-aliasing in JavaFX? Is that possible at all?

    If you find that doesn't work as well as you want, perhaps the easiest thing is to select the object (Select>All), Edit>Copy, File>New>Image from Clipboard.
    Then follow MichelBParis's instructions, then either copy and paste back to the original or drag to the original.
    If that is your only layer then using the Image Size is the best way.

    Did you watch the movie on your computer?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

  • Turn off anti-aliasing in X11 apps

    Hi,
    I'm running an application in X11, and need to use a text editor often. While the anti-aliasing feature of Mac OS is great, in this case it's bothering me, and I'd like to turn it off. I already set the threshold for general aliasing to 20 pt, and it affects fonts in most windows, but not in my X11 application. So I figure I need to tweak something else for this to change.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Michael

    Thanks cor-el, that seems to do the trick! Extremely disappointed that Firefox forces anti-aliasing on to users. Boo!

  • Removing anti-aliasing on shaps (particularly line tool)

    Hi all,   I am new on the forum
    I searching around for an option to disable anti-aliasing on the Shape tools.  When I draw a straight horisontal line with Weight set to 1px it draws a 2 pixel high line with the second line being partly transparent
    Is there any way i can prevent this  or  what would be the best substitute to draw straight lines for web deisgn ?
    Regards
    Thomas

    Select the line tool.
    On the options bar, select the Fill Pixels mode. (third button from left).
    On the last option on the options bar, turn off "anti-alias".
    It sounds like you were creating shape layers, which don't have an option to turn off anti-aliasing.

  • Is it possible to turn off text smoothing (Anti-Aliasing)?

    Hi,
    this Anti-Aliasing or I think it is called text smoothing in English is really ugly and is driving me nuts. I cant turn it off. Even with TinkerTool up to size 144 it just doesnt help. Especially Safari loks horrible. Can it be turned off? Does anyone know if Leopard will be able to turn it off?
    Cheers
    Axel

    Have you set font smoothing in Appearances (System preferences) to match your monitor?

  • Can I turn off the anti-aliasing of the help html

    Is there a way to turn off the anti-aliasing of the help html pages? It looks horrible on my laptop.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately it doesn't work. Every other text is not antialiased except the content of the help pages, that is the content displayed on the right side.

  • No anti-aliasing?

    I have read that the Text Engine introduced with Flash Player 10 is supposed to provide anti-aliasing for devide fonts (i.e. non-embedded fonts).  This is essential for Web applications: without anti-aliasing text looks awful and Flex applications cannot compete with HTML applications.  But fonts that include East-Asian characters cannot be embedded because they take up too much space.  And I don't see how a Web application in 2009 can fail to support East-Asian characters.
    Today I tried Flash Builder 4, and created 3 Spark components, of types RichEditableText, RichText, and SimpleText, without embedding any fonts.  All three could be rotated, which I believe means they use the new Text Engine.  But none of them had anti-aliasing (which I checked by looking at how they rendered capital letter W).  Why is this?  Do I have to do something special to get anti-aliasing?  Or is anti-aliaing a feature that will be coming later?
    Thanks in advance,
    Francisco

    Hi Corey,
    Thanks for your message.  I've looked more carefully at the device font I'm using on the Mac (with an LCD display).  You are right, it's anti-aliased.  (I can't see any subpixel colorations with my magnifying glass as I can see them on Windows, but maybe they are just less obvious.) 
    So the reason the device font looks ugly on the Mac must just be the letter spacing.  Since you said it looks good to you, I checked the code and did some experimentation.  It turns out that I'm saying fontFamily="_sans" and, surprisingly, in Flex 3, this it not the same as not assigning a value to fontFamily.  (Out of curiosity I checked Flex 4, and it is the same there.)  Saying fontFamily="_sans" causes the letter spacing to be way off.  If I don't say anything the spacing it still a bit off, but not too much, and the font does not look bad, although it still does not look as good as an embedded font.
    I tried taking screen shots, but they come out a little blurry and it's hard to judge fonts on them.  But I'm attaching a simple mxml file that compares the embedded font, the device font with no assignment to fontFamily, and the device font with fontFamily="_sans".
    If you want to see the huge difference that fonts make on the application, the best thing is to look at the application itself, so I should say what it is.  It's Noflail Search, a search engine that you can find at noflail.com.  It starts out using an embedded font, but if it encounters an East-Asian character, or you specifiy an East-Asian language restriction, or you turn on an IME for an East-Asian language, it switches to fontFamily="_sans" (and lets you know that it does).  To go back to the embedded font you can remove what caused the switch and reload the page.  So it's easy to compare the effect of the two fonts.
    The switching to the device font was my clumsy attempt at coping with the East-Asian character problem.  Unfortunately the switching happens fairly often, because East-Asian characters pop-up in results when you least expect it, even if the query has nothing to do with East-Asia.  So I will remove the "feature" soon, and just use device fonts and hope that most Windows users have ClearType enabled.  But I'll leave it on all day Monday in case you want to check out the effect of the fonts on the application.
    When I said that Adobe should not rely on embedded fonts I was referring to the fact that the nice anti-aliasing and text rendering that you have in Flex 3, and the presumably nicer one in Flex 4, is only available for embedded fonts.
    Btw I've been comparing the subpixel anti-aliasing that I get with ClearType and a device font on Windows to the embedded font, and the embedded font looks definitely better.  The device font with ClearType looks purplish, and the anti-aliasing does not seem as good.  So let me emphasize that I'm not arguing that Adobe should use subpixel anti-aliasing.  I'm arguing that the grey-scale anti-aliasing and text rendering that you use for embedded fonts should be used for device fonts as well.  Is there any technical reason that makes this difficult?  Impossible?
    Thanks for listening

  • Unwanted Anti-aliasing after export to PDF!?

    Dear comunity,
    First of all let me say, that i am relatively new to indesign,
    this is really driving me crazy: my boss gave me the task to renew our business cards (no new layout, just different names and addresses.) So i took the indesign file my predecessor made and switched the names and contact information. The indesign file contains three back sides for three different people, every one with their own QR-code.
    I made three new QR codes, deleted the old ones and brought the new ones in. (the codes were originally PNG, i put them in Photoshop and exported as PSD, since i heard, that i should use PSD files in ID instead of PNG or JPEG.)
    When exported to PDF, two of these QR codes are working just fine, the third one has the following problem: On the edges of the code, thin light gray lines appear, for my untrained eye, these look just like anti-aliasing. These do only appear in the exported PDF, not in Indesign itself, and only in one of the three QR-codes, though i created and imported them all the same way.
    I should probably mention, that i made the codes 50% transparent. I already did lots of research regarding that problem, and one person said, that this is a bug, which has been solved in ID CC 2014, so i updated my ID to that version, imported the corrupt PSD anew, still the same problem.
    What did i do wrong with this particular PSD file? Might there be a button or something, when i have the psd selected in iD, that toggles AA on and off for that particular file??
    I added two pictures. the 1st one is one of those, who don't make any problems, the second one is the one, that has the unwanted anti-aliasing (or whatever it is). I just made screenshots out of Acrobat, because this forum wouldn't let me upload The PDFs. As i said, they both come from the same ID file, exported the same way.
    Thanx in advance for all your kind help.
    Nigi

    Thank you Willi, one more question,
    You are saying, i down sampled with the wrong method. So what would be the right method? I just drag and dropped the file and placed using the placegun thingy.
    Just asking for future projects, this particular problem will be solved by the internal QR-editor, i'm sure.
    Boy that whole print-stuff is a whole new area for me, there's much to learn, so i am very grateful for people like you, who take their time to help a poor autodidact...
    Thanks

  • How to switch off ClearType (not system-wide, only app-internally)

    Hi guys,
    hope you can help out on this one, which gives me a hard time for around two weeks now:
    Basically my code starts something like this:
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #pragma comment(lib, "user32.lib")
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    { SystemParametersInfoW(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, FALSE, 0, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
    SystemParametersInfoW(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE, 0, (PVOID)FE_FONTSMOOTHINGSTANDARD, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);These two lines have the effect I want to, which is switching off ClearType and smoothing-Features, like the app "ClearType-Switch" does for example.
    Problem here: I do NOT want this to happen globally, instead I need this swithcing-off-effect only on my app itself.I am not very much into things like Logfont and GDI, so hopefully you got some quick idea on this.

    Hi CybeRRobotniC,
    I think this answer is helpful for this issue in the thread. Please check Leo Davidson's answer :
    "You can use
    GetObject to get a
    LOGFONT structure for an HFONT, then adjust the anti-aliasing flags on the LOGFONT, then create a new HFONT via
    CreateFontIndirect.
    (Don't forget to destroy the font somewhere, after no control is using it anymore.)"

    Here is a sample of using CreateFontIndirect function.

  • How to switch off shortcut / alias arrows?

    Hello,
    Is there any way to switch off the little shortcut / alias arrows in the bottom left corner of an alias in OSX?
    Thanks!

    Yes you can but as 2Point5 notes it isn't a good idea. But if you are intent on doing so, the simple way is to download and purchase a program called Candybar. The arrow is basically a badge that's applied over an icon. In Candybar you can replace the arrow badge with one of your own - a totally transparent icon for example.
    However, having done this, you will no longer be able to look at an icon and know if it is the real file or the alias. You'd have make sure that all your aliases were named with alias or some symbol or labeled with a color or you'd have to do a Get Info to see if it was an alias or not. All this sounds like a good recipe for accidentally erasing the real file and not the alias.

  • How to switch off internal macbook screen when using external monitor(s)

    as far as i observed, adding external displays ( running different screens on them, not mirroring)  to a macbook pro  increases the gpu workload and with that comes temperature rise in the laptop and increase in ventilator noise - and probably increased hardware aging and risk of component faillure due to high temperature inside the laptop.
    simply try connecting two external 27" screens and open some flash video on both of them. then run a temperature monitoring software and watch temps rise, compared to running same flash videos / demanding tasks only on one connected external screen or only on the laptop screen with no external monitor connected.
    especially in mavericks, due to its increased background routines, such a set-up appears ever the more taxing, then again who does not love apple`s nice adds showing laptops with two 27” screens connected to it and the workspace vision they invoke....
    i have seen temps around 100° to 102° celsius on a 13" macbook pro 2012 edition, which i would expect is territory where the cpu / gpu temp safety switches will trigger system shutdown any time soon ( hardware status before verified as fully in order by apple service and default osx installation)
    imagine your anti-virus software starting some realtime content screening while runnign some demanding tasks already and the system shuts down easily (all such situation observed in reality)
    (would be interesting to see how a retina display macbook fares with 2 external monitors running demanding tasks, considering the retina display already increased taxing for the gpu - any experience from users of such a setup would be very much appreciated as it will provide critical purchase decision intelligence for all of us envisioning a retina-book and two big screens adoring our desks...)
    turning down the macbook`s built-in screen`s backlight may reduce power consumption but i have not seen any evidence that it switches off the gpu-to-screen feed and respective gpu load - it certainly did not prevent gpu, cpu, board, etc temps to rise to borderline levels.
    so the key question here is, how to switch off the macbook pro`s built-in screen in order to avoid gpu cycles being wasted on that screen ( and the resulting heat developments)  when working with big external screen(s)  connected to the laptop ?

    this thread talks about running several monitors as advertised by apple and running demanding task on them.
    with the lid open, the keyboard offers a very efficiant heat escape vector, which is blocked when the lid is closed - this is a basic and commonsense insulation effect.  this thread also mentions the use of temperature monitoring software and thus a repeatable test setup. the temps recorded were also mentioned. they rose when the lid was closed, the running task remaining unchanged. as far as i could track down the cpus in discussion will shut down around the 105 degree celsius range. i observed system shut downs when the system approached 103° celsius.  not to mention that the fans will run loud well before that.
    again this is on hardware checked and ok-ed by apple service.
    the question still welcoming an expert answer: is there any way to switch off the built-in macbook monitor while the lid is open ?
