Text display issues with htmlText, Embedded Font

Hey All,
I'm having an issue with the display of my hyperlinks in a
textfield that is using embedded fonts. It offsets the hyperlinks
to the left along the line they are on and the underline doesn't
stretch all the way under the text field. The text display normally
when I don't embed the font. For some reason I think this might
have to do with the embedded character range so I opened it up.
Does anyone know if this range is enough or if there are special
characters flash uses that need to be embedded for their width even
though they arn't displayed.
Embedded range:
[Embed(source='MyriadPro-Regular.otf', fontName='Myriad Pro',
unicodeRange='U+0000-U+00fe')]
Here's a link to the related code:

Any ideas?

  • Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

    Hi all,
      I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
                   minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
                   creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
                   layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">           
        <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
            ]]>
        </fx:Script>
        <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
        </s:Label>
        <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>       
    </s:Application>
      Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

        OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

                   minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
                   creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
                   layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">               
        <fx:Style>
            @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
            @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
            s|Label {
                fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";            
        </fx:Style>   
        <fx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
            ]]>
        </fx:Script>
        <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>   
    </s:Application>  
    Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to  the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.
    ps
       My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of  my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
    Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here:  http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

  • Text Display Issues in Mac OS 10.6.2

    I just got a new computer, and have Mac OS 10.6.2 installed, and have been having severe display issues with the Flash player (10.0.42.34) on all browsers. I have tried using the Flash player uninstaller, then reinstalling a couple of times. The only consistency that I can find in the display issues is that text doesn't render as it should. Here is a screencast of my issues: http://screencast.com/t/MTVkMWIzZGYt (the annotations editor on YouTube doesn't display text, and neither does the Google Finance chart)
    Additionally, sometimes on YouTube, the timeline bar will suddenly span the entire length of the player, rendering the controls on the player useless.

    Apparently this was a system font issue, per this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10709308

  • Issues with Code 39 Font

    I am using Crystal Reports XI and have created reports that contain a single barcode. When I export the reports to a PDF format while in the designer preview the report exports fine with the barcode showing correctly. When I publish the report and automate to send to a file folder and a designated printer, both reports are printing without the code 39 Font and the barcode shows in regular Arial font. I have installed the Font both on my personal machine and the server that the reports are published too. To verify that the problem was not isolated to the PDF doc I tried printing to a word format and the report prints the code 39 font in the word doc that is stored in the file folder, but the printed report is still showing as a regular Arial font. Sending to the same printer from the designer preview printed the barcode font so the issue is also not at the printer level. Can anyone advise on the best action to take to resolve this issue with the missing Font in the printed report? Do I need to do anything special to embed the Font in the distributed report? Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Greig,
    Did you get your problem figure out?  I'm having the same issue.  Please let me know how you got this problem resolve.  Thanks

  • Does anyone else have display issues with Intel X3100 graphics and OS X Lion?

    I took the screenshot below to demonstrate one issue I have had with graphics since upgrading to OS X Lion. I use a Late 2007 MacBook with 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo and the Intel X3100 graphics chipset. I have 4GB RAM. Had to reboot to get this to correct itself. The problem is the menubar (obvious) and the desktop image is missing, replaced by the grey.
    I have an external monitor connected (second image) and everything displays properly there.
    Some other issues I've noticed are using Mission Control sometimes yields unpredictable results, graphically speaking, and the fullscreen apps don't always allow me to see the menubar. These all seem graphically related. Is this a hardware or software problem? Any solutions?

    Here is another display issue with my machine...perhaps software rather than hardware? The icon for the rtf file "Matt Passages" is missing entirely. There is a faint rectangle present instead. The same file has an icon in the first image posted above. No change to the file since then. And two other RTFs have the icon! Odd things with Lion.

  • Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

    I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
    the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
    experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
    2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
    If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
    list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
    using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
    lastest build release.
    Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
    printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
    editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gavin,
    If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
    if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
    UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
    then
    -- insert your HTML code in the value
    -- of your field. something like...
    newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
    srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
    else
    -- when generating to other format,
    -- you'd have to add the formatting as
    -- you want.
    end if
    return( true );
    Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
    Good luck... :-)

  • Refying PDF with subset embedded fonts fixes text extraction

    Hi All,
    I know it is not a good idea to (just) refry PDF files (PDF -> EPS -> PDF). Especially when the PDF contains subset embedded fonts. Chances are you will end up with a PDF file which does not contain valid (searchable) text.
    I did not know the apposite could also be true. The following zip file contains 2 PDF files echo containing two words: the original and the refried version.
    Refried.zip
    When selecting text from the original PDF (using acrobat 6 through X) file it contains incorrect text, in this case invalid capitals. If I try the same in the refried version the extracted text is correct.
    It seems strange to me that a process which only can result in loss of information "fixes" this text issue. Somewhere the correct text must be hidden in the original PDF file. Not only capitals seem to be effected but also random characters which seem to be fixed once refried.
    Could anyone think of an explanation?
    Is there a workaround without having to refry the PDF (refrying often results in loss of information). I have no influence on the PDF files I recieve, therefore I cannot embed the full fonts.
    I am using de C++ SDK for Acrobat to write plugins.
    Any pointers would be great!
    Kind regards,
    Robert

    Thanks again for your reply,
    Your explanation makes sense.
    I went ahead and removed the tounicode cmap just to see what would happen
           if (CosDictKnown (cosFont, ASAtomFromString ("ToUnicode")))
             CosDictRemove (cosFont,ASAtomFromString ("ToUnicode"));
    As you predicted this fixes some issues and introduces new ones.
    The results differed from the refry method, in some cases the refried PDF did not contain extractable  text, in other cases the PDF without "ToUnicode Cmap" had no extractable text.
    Maybe I could combine the information of different text extraction methods to make an educated gues which one (or combination of) is best :S
    I suppose looking at individual textruns (with all its complexity) would not help me either...
    Kind regards,
    Robert

  • Using HTML text with an embedded font in Flex 4

    I have spent a day searching the interwebs and have not found a working example of how to use an embedded font with html formatting.
    Anybody know if it can even be done??

    Should be doable, but all fonts used in the html have to be embedded, and
    one of the fonts should be specified as the fontFamily for the component.

  • RDP Users seeing display issues with SharePoint Online Template

    I originally posted this in the SharePoint Online forums, but they referred me to the RDP forums as it appears to be an issue with RDP, not SharePoint Online: Original
    Post
    I've been able to verify this only happens in RDP when opening a Word Template with embedded Excel table  from SharePoint Online within the local Word 2010 application.

    Amy,
    Thank you for the input.  Its rather odd, but it appears the users who are seeing this problem are connecting via RDP on laptops with widescreens, with screen resolution set much higher than the 1290x1084 we use on the terminal servers.  Turning
    the resolution down on the laptops did keep the table from becoming oversized and most of it running off edge of document.
    However, it appears even turning down the resolution of the client machine still affects how the font is displayed in the document. The font size and type are different than the template document, they get saved that way and appear that way to other users
    who do have their screen resolution set correctly.   It seems there is something else going on here, thoughts?

  • Mx.controls.Text zoom issue with wrapped text. Is this a bug?

    We have created a diagram drawing tool in Flex, but we are having a serious issue with zooming. Everything zoom fine expect the Text control if it contains wrapped text. At certain zoom levels, some of the text seems to disappear (usually text at the end). I have tried everything, embedding fonts, turning anti-aliasing on and off, setting anti-aliasing to normal or advanced, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Is this is a known bug?
    If you check out the pictures (see attachments), you will see that the part of the text ('34') disappears at a certain zoom level.
    There is another blog who suggest to embed the font and set the antiAliasType to ‘animation’ (http://www.mehtanirav.com/2008/08/20/zooming-text-area-in-flex-messes-up-word-wrap-bug%20), but this doesn't seem to work for me either. I don't know if I am doing this correctly though, but I embedded a font and called text.setStyle("fontAntiAliasType","animation"). However, 'animation' is not one of the  AntiAliasType contants. According to the official documentation, the AntiAliasType constants are 'advanced' or 'normal'.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Try this:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    class textpaneColor extends JFrame {
       JTextPane tp = new JTextPane();
       JButton button = new JButton("color");
       public static void main(String args[]) {
          textpaneColor obj = new textpaneColor();
          obj.showMe();
       void showMe() {
          button.addActionListener(new buttonListener());
          setSize(200,200);
          getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          getContentPane().add(tp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          setVisible(true);
       class buttonListener implements ActionListener {
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
             SimpleAttributeSet set=new SimpleAttributeSet();

  • How to set fontFamily with an embedded font of a textFlow ?

    Hy,
    When I create a TextFlow without use any component of the flex SDK (4.0.13827) and then I try to change or apply a FontFamily of an embedded font, it doesn't work. Whereas when I use a component like RichEditableText or Label, it works.

  • Issues with 1920 resolution, fonts look tweak and broken

    i just bought a new led display, wich allows 1920x1080 resolution.
    With this resolution fonts looks like tweak and broken, very annoying.
    Firefox is the only application that suffers this problems. Opera and Internet Explorer looks perfect, and also all the others applications installed.
    Clear Type option is activated, and works perfectly.
    The only way to solve the probleme is to reboot firefox and execute in safe mode.
    I have no extensions nor personal preferences (bookmarks either). I've just uninstalled Firefox with all personal data and reinstalled. And the issue stays.
    In safe mode all looks perfectly.
    I'm running windows 7 64bits
    Graphics: RADEON HD 6950

    I did a test using Chunk and a few other fonts that are similar plus one I know works well and the fonts that are similar to Chunk tend to look very pixelated when viewed in Firefox. Look fine in Chrome and Explorer...
    This might be something that the techs at Adobe (Type Kit) would have to look at.
    I posted an image, but not sure if it shows the problem that well.

  • Display issue with Combo Boxes and Logo

    Hi All,
    I am facing a couple of issues with my dashboard:
    1. Combo boxes display - I have placed a series of combo boxes one below the other. During the preview, when I click on the first combo box, the values spread below. That is, the labels, and options of the next combo box are also visible. The options in the combo box are not seen clearly. I have tried many permutations and combinations with "Bring Forward +" and "Send Back -" but none of them seem to work. For example, keeping the first combo as bring forward and next one as send back etc. Can you please help me in this regard?
    2. Logo - I have used image component and embedded a logo from my local system. Later I saved the xlf in the repository. When I import the xlf from the platform, it displays the logo fine. But however, this behavior is not constant. It sometimes doesn't show the image. Do I have to save the image also in the repository? or in a common shared folder? If I embed the logo does it not mean that the xlf hold the copy?
    Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Sandeep.

    Hi:
       For your question
    1) Do you need your combox overlapped? I tried to overlap my comb box and preview it, seems works fine for me. it only chooses the first comb box. But I am suggesting that if you want to show/hide the different combox in the same position at run time, you can try to control the visibility by some other component.
    2) The answer is NO, the image embedded in the image component will be saved to xlf file, there is no need to save it individually. Try to clean your cache files in your machine and do it again.
    Hope it helps.

    I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
    The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
    I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
    The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
    Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
    To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
    I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
    It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
    I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
    I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
    Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
    What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
    Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
    Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

    Hello EPWilson4984.
    I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM,  1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
    Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
    The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
    Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
    Mac mini  -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
    I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
    Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.
