Text Quality Changes?

It seems text used to be smoother on screen and when I saved my web images. Now, particularly smaller sized serif fonts don't look as nice as I remember them before. I keep my text settings at Sharp. I've noticed it over time but never brought it up until now. Is this just me, or has something changed?

Yes, but with CS4 it shouldn't matter since I have one of the better graphics cards installed.
I'm beginning to wonder if the problem might be with the new version of the Garamond Premier Pro font. In the past I had a very large collection of these, and I thought they rendered well on screen at smaller sizes. I might try to find my original collection and install them to see.
I might also trying installing a previous version of Photoshop to see if it makes a difference.
Again, I am probably more picky than most. There is a word for it that I won't use. :-)

The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

Hi There,
I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
Does anyone know about this problem?
Thanks
Kaveh

Kaveh,
I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat. The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
Thanks,

Folder action to find and replace text and change line feeds

I want to use a folder action to find and replace text and change Mac carriage returns to DOS line feeds inside text files.
The text to be replaced is: "/Users/wim/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music" (without the quotes)
This text has to be removed (i.e. replaced by an empty string)
The text occurs many times within each file.
The files are playlists exported from iTunes in the M3U format (which are text files). They contain Mac carriage returns. These need to be changed to DOS line feeds.
I have found the following two perl commands to achieve this:
To find and replace text: perl -pi -w -e 's/THIS/THAT/g;' *.txt
To change carriage returns to line feeds: perl -i -pe 's/\015/\015\012/g' mac-file
I know that it's possible to make a folder action with Automator that executes a shell script.
What I want to do is drop the exported playlists in M3U format in a folder so that the folder action will remove the right text and change the carriage returns.
My questions are:
Is it possible to make a folder action that executes command line commands instead of shell scripts?
What is the correct syntax for the two commands when used in a folder action shell script? Especially, how do I escape the slashes (/) in the string to be removed?
Thanks for your help

Ok, I've include an applescript to run a shell command. The applesript command quoted form makes a string that will end up as a single string on the bash command line. Depending on what you want to do, you may need multiple string on the bash command lines. I've included some information on folder actions.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
    log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of desktopPath
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
        display dialog "ls -l of " & quotedUnixDesktopPath & return & fromUnix
    on error errMsg
        log "ls -l error..." & errMsg
    end try

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
Filter: gfx
Others to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
*Anti-Aliasing Tuner: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/

Bad text quality in Adobe Reader on Macbook Pro with Retina

When viewing documents in Adobe Reader (just installed on new Macbook pro retina), text quality in documents and in the program itself is very low.
Text quality is perfect in viewer and in Adobe on other computers and on my Iphone. All settings are as recommended (110 pixels/inch and text smoothening turned on). How can this be?

Dynamic Text and changing Text in AS3

I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin'. I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER. I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such. How can I :
1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text
2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void
Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
//I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over
//but to test if I can get to anything, I'm just trying to change the text.
mcAdmin.text="Hello";
trace(mcAdmin.text);
mcPPMB.alpha=.5;
mcASB.alpha=.5;
mcISO.alpha=.5;
mcEA.alpha=.5;
mcAdmin.alpha=1;
mcAdmin.scaleX=1.25;
mcAdmin.scaleY=1.25;
Thanks.

1st
give the textfield a name, if it hasn't already (sounds like you put it in a movieclip).
to change the text set the text property of your text field
like this
myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
or if it is inside a movieclip
myClip_mc.myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
To change the color you would need to put a TextFormat on it. To keep the same fontsize, font etc. you could first get the TextFormat from your existing Textfield, change the color of the TextFormat and set it on the TextField.
// get the Textformat of the first character
            var TF:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat(0,1)
// set the font color
            TF.color = 0xff0000;
// put it on the whole text
            myTextField.setTextFormat(TF)

Best Practices for Text That Changes During Sequence?

I have been using creating videos like the one here, in which text shows up every so often over the scene:
Making The Walking Dead Pinball Machine - YouTube
Thus far, I've been creating a title, duplicating it for each time the text changes, and loading each title into the sequence at the time I want it to appear. Is there a simpler way to create text that changes throughout a sequence, so I don't have to worry about each overlay having slight differences in position or other attributes?
Just curious if there's an easier workflow for putting text over video.
Thanks!

You can also save yourself a few steps by duplicating the title through the Timeline by ALT+dragging it to the new location (which creates not only a new track item but also an independent new project item), then double-clicking the new track item to open it in the Titler for editing. But this refinement in your workflow has no bearing on the stated concern re: "differences in position or other attributes"--that's entirely a function of the changes you make within the Titler.

[CS5] Create Export PDF Preset w/ High text quality

Hello,
I've created an Export Preset for PDFs using the PDF/X-1a 2001 Standards. I've left all the default settings, and the PDF looks good, but now its been requested that I make the text appear more "crisp". I'm wondering what settings I could tweak in my Preset to enhance the text quality?
Thanks in advance for any help!

To be honest - I'm not sure about the rasterized/outlined text. We're only viewing it on our computer monitors. What I've done now, which I think will suffice, is created a Preset based on the "Press Quality" preset and saved it with the PDF/x1-a:2001 stanard. This greatly improved the text quality (I haven't dug into the .joboptions file for the built-in Press Quality preset but I'm guessing that's what fixed the issue for me).

A script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign?

Is there a possibility a script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign. My Indesign software's version is CS3. As you can see below, I have deleted some texts and added some. I did it in another software.
I have been searched for a long time. Because of my poor English, I still can't come up with any Object Model related to the script yet.
Here is some idea of mine:
Use the script tracking my revising texts. When I add some new texts, the texts will be underlined. When I delete some texts, the position of the first character of the removed text will be added a small red triangle or something.
Thanks in advance.

Chnage in Header text when changing the customer

Dear Experts,
When i change the customer in sales quotation all the text in header text fields remove. i want to retain this text while change the customer. Can anybody help me who can i retain the Header Text when i change the customer.
Best regards,

Hi,
Even it is the document text which is maintained by you in quotation,will be changed if you change the sold-to-party.
The text that is maintained either at the Header level or at the item level will be changed if you change the sold-to-party.
It is the standard setting in SAP.
Because Sold-to-party is the key field which controls the whole document.So if you change the sold-to-party means every thing will be redetermined.So that the text will be changed.
For maintaining the text as not changeable,in standard there is no setting.I think with ABAP coding it may be possible.
Ask you ABAPer to check whether there is any thing that will be used to check this text.
Regards,
Krishna.

Printing with BufferedImage and Text Quality

I am using PrinterJob to print text/graphics.
In my paint method, if we paint directly on the graphics handle using Graphics2D methods, the text quality is very good.
Our application has to manage a lot of data, and to handle the callabcks for the same page, we are painting to a BufferedImage, and then drawing the BufferedImage unto the graphics handle on the subsequent calls. The overhead to draw the page is significant, and this give us much better performance.
The PROBLEM IS, the quality of the text using the bufferedImage is like draft quality test, not the high resolution text we get when we paint directly on the supplied handle using the native drawing emthods every time.
Any idea how we can buffer the page image, and retain the text quality ?
In the paint we do:
m_Image = ((Graphics2D)pg).getDeviceConfiguration().createCompatibleImage(m_wPage,m_hPage);
m_Graphics = (Graphics2D) m_Image.getGraphics();
