Text has Black Blocky Edges

I just upgraded to Leopard with an erase and install. After re-installing Final Cut Express and LiveType & Soundtrack, all of my Livetype files import to Final Cut with a black, blocky edge around all the letters. I tried starting a new project with new files, but the same thing happens. What can I do?

Apple says Intel Macs don't support FCE 3.0 and that I need 3.5 to run on Leopard. I had gotten past that for about a year adjusting the AGP graphics error, but it looks like I'm stuck with the upgrade now. That is, unless someone knows how to get around the issue.....

  • Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

    This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

    Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
    1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
    2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white?

  • Black Text Has White Halo When Save as PDF

    I have 12pt black text on a green background and when I save as a PDF, a white halo pops up under some of the text, but not all of the text. On the words it does it on, it is as if I had the same word typed in white text with black text on the top. If I flatten the image first, it goes away but the text losing quality.

  • Disable text as black

    When I export my book to PDF some text in some documents prints as low resolution dark black. My documents in InDesign show no sign of this. I read that "disable text as black" could be a potential solution. Where would I find this option -- I don't see it in my output choices. I'm an extreme newbie -- please keep it simple.Thanks.

    I think we are going to need a lot more information, and maybe some screen shots.
    Text as Black is an option you must select, not on bey default, and it is there for when you are printing a document with colored text to a monochrome printer so you get readable solid black text. Text that is colored 100%K only is not as dark in print as text that also has CMY mixed with it. If you are printing color document to a monochrome printer you should set your Appearance of Black settings in the preferences to Output All Blacks as Rich Black or 100K will print as a dark gray (somewhere in low to mid 90% black range) because the 100% black output is used for darker rich black objects.

  • Text knockout CS4 - white text on black urgent

    I am having problems with some white text (converted to paths) which is placed on a black background.. When viewing the pdf in Illustrator (CS4), the text shows up fine. When viewing in Acrobat (which the printers will print from), the white text has disappeared. This only applies to some of the text  the rest is fine.  I need to set the white text not to overprint, but in the attributes box it isnt giving me the option to uncheck 'overprint'. Its grayed out. Where can I do this?
    many thanks!

    I don't think that's case, Peter. It looks the OP violated Dov Isaacs' first rule of PDF: Thou shalt not utilize Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor.
    The text, if I'm right was converted in ID.
    If I'm wrong...well, nevermind.

    I find both their examples -- the hard white on hard black
    'villain' and hard
    black on hard white 'hero' decidedly hard on the eyes. In
    both cases a lower
    contrast range would help.
    (As I write this, I realise that the whole subject is
    extremely subjective, and
    depends on all sorts of factors. For example the screen I am
    currently using
    has black text on a white background, but the text is only
    one pixel wide, and
    this seems quite acceptable, whereas heavier text would be
    less acceptable.)
    This is a question I am wrestling with the moment. For
    example, in a photo
    album (eg:
    http://www.corybas.com/Gen_page.php?new=1
    ) I, and most of the people
    I have spoken to, prefer a dark background, as it seems to
    show the photos off
    better.
    On the other hand for general information (eg:
    http://www.cybec.com.au/ ) dark
    text on a light background seems much better. It is easier on
    the eyes, and it
    permits you to use a wider range of text colours to
    distinguish between
    different sections.
    The problem comes when you start mixing information pages and
    photos on the same
    web site. I think I will probably split the site into two
    general sections, and
    colour them accordingly, but it is a visual shock when you
    switch from one
    colour scheme to the other.
    I would be interested to hear your opinions on this. If you
    would like to
    experiment, on the Corybas web site you can use 'Custom
    options' from the main
    album index to switch between four alternative colour
    schemes.

  • In PSE 12 how can I change my watermark label eg colour of text from black to white etc

    I have created a watermark to use in batch processing from RAW to jpg but I don't like the watermark and want to change some elements eg change the text from black to white but every time I change it, PSE changes it back to black - how do I fix this?

    This isn't Lion-specific. I had the same prob changing OS a couple of years ago and now again changing to Lion on a new laptop.
    Changing the Date and Time settings would do it (you'd think) but it doesn't. It was always embedded in International (now Language &Text). It seems to be a bug though as I've Custom Edited selecting 12-hr clock with am/pm and have the same issue. On-the-hour has no am/pm or zeros.
    I've learnt not to waste too much energy on it once it doesn't make logical sense as it's generally a bug.
    I'm loving Lion though - even unexpectedly using the natural scrolling.....but I digress....

  • Why Adobe Acrobat is not recognizing text on black backgrounds

    I was surprised when I first discovered this. I thought Adobe was supposed to have the best OCR software in in the world, I tested in on few backgrounds, white text on black background - not working, yellow text on black background - not working..
    I was disappointed, I had to use onlineocr, which did better job than Adobe Acrobat, it discovered all kinds of texts, bold fonts, text on multi-colored background - things that Acrobat OCR couldn't recognize..

    Hi Anubha,
    Thanks for your help.
    In Finder ...... > Twain Data Sources I found two files, "Canon MP980 series Network.ds" (1.9Mb) and "Canon MP980 series.ds" (2Mb). Next to Kind for both it says "Application". I don´t see the word "Package" or "PowerPC" or "Universal". However, under Where, it says "Macintosh HD>Library>Image Capture>TWAIN Data Source. This is also the same information I find on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3), but still running Acrobat CC (not upgraded yet, thankfully). I can still scan using my MBP.
    I was able to scan using Image Capture.
    I did not have time to go through the procedure of logging in as root user.
    Frankly, this seems way to complicated. There has to be an easier fix to the problem.
    I also checked Canon´s website for updated driver files, but there are none for Yosemite.

  • My HP Envy 4500 does not print text in black ink

    I bought my printer this summer, it is only 5 months old.
    Now it does not print black ink. Text in black does not appear when printing, every other colors appears.
    I've cleaned printerhead with software installed (HP doctor), but it did not solve the problem...
    I used the CD when I installed the printer/drivers, and I have updatet software when asked by "update manager".
    I have not had this problem earlier, it has just occured last weeks...
    What can be missing here? Can someone help?
    If the printerhead is broken, can I have a replacement sent to me, or can I pick one up at the store I bought the printer?

    Hi @jb-thom69

  • 720p video in 1080p timeline has black borders

    Hello,
    I have Premiere Cs6, with Windows 7.
    I want to mix 1080/50p and 720/30p videos, and correctly downsize it to 720/25p in Adobe Media Encoder.
    1. When I choose 720/25p timeline, all the 1080p videos looks like zoomed (the middle of the video image can be seen). The 720p videos are fine
    2. If I choose 1080/25p timeline, the 1080p videos are fine, but the 720p ones has black border on all 4 sides:
    http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/6306/69202278.jpg
    Please help me how to do it correctly, to be able tho get a proper 720/25p video from these sources, without borders.
    Thank you!

    The timeline should match the final output so use a 720p25 timeline.
    If you have a 720p as your output you have a 1280x720 canvas. If you drop a 1920x1080 video on it will be too big. Do as SAFEHARBOR11 said....
    In Premiere Preferences, there is a checkbox for "Default Scale to Frame Size". If you enable that, when you Import clips they will automatically fit the current editing size.
    ...OR for each clip open up the effects->motion and change the scale of the 1080p footage (1280/1920=66.6666%) - it won't divide nicely so you'll have to do 66 instead of 67% so that you don't get black edges.
    As for output frame rate... do you have to do 25fps? If it's not for broadcast - it is my understanding that most PAL countries have BD players that can understand 24fps as well. I say this because maybe you'd be better off retiming the 50i footage to 48i (a 4% slowdown) and thus 24fps. You do this by right clicking and Interpret Footage-> 24fps instead of its 25fps.
    You can then edit between the two cameras without throwing frames on the floor since the 720p30 will 3:2 pulldown to 24fps too.
    BUT, you only need to do that if the shudder from dropping 1 in 25 frames on the floor has a worse look than slowing down the original footage. It is easier if you're editing back and forth with the two cameras to drop those frames but perhaps slowing down would be better for you.
    Some professionals cringe at the idea of throwing frames on the floor, others that the original is slowed down. It's up to you.
    As some food for thought....
    When I was on the DVD authoring team for the "Dune" release in Australia ('98) the telecine of the original film was sped up from 24 to 25fps. We then sped up and pitch shifted back down the 5.1 audio track to match.
    Another example [I didn't work on] is "The Thomas Crown Affair" release in the USA. The title menus must have been done in the UK (or Oz) and not pitch shifted because it has a 4% higher pitched music vs the film. - it's very noticeable because from the root menu it goes straight to the same piano tune in the film and drops a couple tones. (^dink dink dink^.... ^dunk dunk dunk^) In the film itself you have no idea that the feature was [or was not] stretched 4% to fit to 25fps or 30fps (ie 24fps original 3:2 pullup).

  • My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

    I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
    My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
    In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus."  As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
    Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

    There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues? 
    I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
    Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
    All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
