TextFlow and Modesto font incorrect rendering...

Hi,
I have a project using TextFlow with StyledRichText that calculates positioning / scaling based on font metrics in font files that have been embedded into loaded CSS SWF.
All works well apart from one specific font. Opening the font in Fontographer or similar shows the glyphs extend beyond the expected region and this shows on screen as the letters extending beyond the bounds of the text field... Or, rather... _mostly_ displaying beyond the bounds of the text field. Occasionally, the bits outside get chopped off and occasionally the TextFlow decides it only has room for one rather than two lines and...
Well, it sucks, basically.
As you zoom in and out, the text rendering switches so that sometimes I am looking at two lines and others at one.
Needless to say, dumping the font entirely would be preferable, but that isn't possible for visual design reasons that I am not qualified to comment on.
So...
Does anybody have any ideas how I can detect, react to and / or correct for the weird font metrics in this specific font? (I should add, the fix has to be compatible with the somewhere around 150 fonts that _do_ work.)
Cheers,
G

Nope, Voiceover is NOT enabled. I think it's the new font that I installed today called Mikiyu Honey (downloaded from http://kawaii-me.org/you/fonts/). I uninstalled it by dragging it to the trash, emptied trash, cleaned out font cache, STILL rendering the Gimpshop menu incorrectly. No other program is experiencing this problem.

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

TypeKit issues: fonts stopped rendering in IE 9 and Firefox, etc.

Hi,
A few days ago we created an Edge animation that uses a Typekit font, put in the animation on a web page built with Muse, and uploaded that site to Creative Cloud. Everything worked perfectly on IE, Firefox and Chrome (although Chrome's rendering of all fonts on this site is a bit blurry compared to IE and Firefox.)
Then, about yesterday, we noticed that the Typekit font wasn't rendering in Firefox; and we noticed that today it stopped renderingin IE. (It still displays, a bit blurry, on Chrome).
Is this a known issue? Any tips?
Also: the typekit font never rendered on Opera browser (when viewing the hosted site, or when using preview in browser command in either Edge Animate or Muse) .
Also the site has never worked in Safari for Windows
Thanks,
Richard (for William Anderson)

I would ask your question over in Typekit's help which is here https://typekit.com/help or you can email [email protected]

Non-English fonts not rendering correctly in iMovie 10.0.3?

I use xenotype Tibetan font in iMovie and it has always rendered correctly until I updated from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3. Now many of the stacked characters do not render correctly in any of the titles. Even projects that I made three months ago with 10.0.2 when opened in the new version render the font incorrectly. Is there a reason for this change? Is there any adjustment I can do? Line-height adjustment? iMovie 10.0.3 seems to be the only Mac software currently made by apple that doesn't render the font correctly.

Hello,
Welcome to the discussions. There have been some transition problems reported, although maybe not so many problems as you are experiencing.
I had the black/flash with the transition cross-dissolve in one of my movies recently. I found the suggestions in this thread to resolve that: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3842119#3842119
Have a look and see if it can help you.

Ps CS6 Problem: Incorrect rendering of pasted Adobe Illustrator vector objects

Ps CS6 v13.0.1
OS X 10.6.8
Problem: Ps CS6 incorrectly renders vector objects pasted from Adobe Illustrator. CS5.1 does not exhibit the problem.
Below is screenshot of artwork in Illustrator and which is copied to clipboard, followed by screenshot of "Paste as Smart Object" in Ps CS5.1 then screenshot of same paste in CS6. "Paste as Pixels" gives identical good rendering in CS5.1 and poor rendering (gray pixels which should be pure white in this example) in CS6. This is repeatable with other artwork.
Several weeks ago there was a complaint in this forum that Photoshop CS6 poorly renders vector artwork that is pixel-aligned in Illustrator. The Adobe response was that Photoshop is correct. Strange that CS5.1 can render pasted vector artwork perfectly and only CS6 makes a mess.

What's the explanation for the following sequence?
1. Paste as Smart Object, at moment after pasting and before clicking the commit icon (no transform was made) in options bar. The object is rendered pixel-perfect.
2. After the commit. The object is poorly rendered with gray pixels which should be white.
3. Press Cmd+T for transform mode. The object is rendered pixel-perfect again.
4. After canceling transform mode, the object is poorly rendered again.

TextFlow and Controller Being Created Too Early?

I've successfully rolled my work with the TextFlow into a
Canvas component, made it into an SWC, and made that part of the
application it was originally designed for. No problems. Alright,
now time to re-use my work in another app. that could benefit from
a rich text component. Went through the usual motions and got all
of my UI for my text component to render except the TextFlow!
Then what I discovered is when I resized the browser window
that hosting my Flex app, the cascade of resize events got the
TextFlow to finish rendering, the scroll bars got adjusted
properly, and it was ready to accept input with the blinking
cursor.
Here is a dump from some trace statements I have in my code,
I'm trying to work out the order in which events are happening and
when the text flow gets proper measurements:
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
0 H: 0
Composer -> Creating Display Controller -> TextFlow
Dimensions -> W: 754 H: 0
Composer -> Created
MessageEditorBase -> Created
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Show
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
754 H: 0
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
1328 H: 274
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
1328 H: 275
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
1329 H: 276
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
1334 H: 277
MessageEditorBase -> Event Fired -> Resize
Composer -> Resize -> New TextFlow Dimensions -> W:
1350 H: 279
"MessageEditorBase" is a canvas (used as a tab) that gets
displayed to the user. Within that Canvas are lots of components
including the "Composer" which is basically a toolbar of elegant
buttons and format functions, and then a blank canvas which holds a
UIComponent and becomes the DisplayObjectController. Works great in
my other app, the code is nearly line for line with Adobe's
examples.
Notice how it starts 0,0; then gets a width measurement of
754; finally when I the user resize the entire application do the
rest of the proper dimensions get computed.
I don't think it's a TextFlow problem, but I can't say I
understand the Flex rendering hierarchy enough to have implemented
TextFlow and its controller in the right way with this app.
Any thoughts? If you need more information just ask and I'll
try to explain as best as possible.

As it turns out with a lot of fiddling and trace statements,
I figured out a way to initialize the DisplayObjectController with
valid pixel values. In your TLF examples, the developers always
created a display object controller using specific dimensions, like
250 x 250. But I need my text component to be created dynamically
based on the screen size of the user. This was not happening
correctly after I upgraded to TLF build 370, though it's not even a
TLF problem.
I took the measurements from the parent canvas. For whatever
strange reason, in the world of measuring Flex components, the
child canvas further down in the application, the one that I added
the sprite to, was not getting measured out correctly. Thus when I
passed the controller width and height values from this child, they
were 0.
I hope that made sense, but either way, problem fixed.
Edit:
Here's an example of my code using a custom controller that
had the keyDown event overriden:
theController = new
ComposerDisplayController(uiFlowComponent, uiTextArea.width,
uiTextArea.height, this);
I passed values which I expected the UI to measure out rather
than me providing explicit pixel values. I had a problem when the
UI gave me zero.

[Solved, install dejavu font] Libre Office fonts are rendered as boxes

Been a while since I've posted and thank you in advance for any help offered.
My issue is pretty straight forward: all my menus and fonts in Libre Office Writer show up as boxes instead of letters. I have searched the wiki and forums for a solution but most people who have this problem fix the issue by installing the right language pack.
As you can see below that isn't my issue:
local/libreoffice-common 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
common files for LibreOffice - a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites
local/libreoffice-en-US 4.1.4-3
English (US) language pack for LibreOffice
local/libreoffice-writer 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
Word Processor Application for LibreOffice.
I have no plug-ins installed apart from hunspell, mythes and hyphenation. I removed these packages but there was no change.
This machine is a Dell laptop with the Intel video chip and thus I have the correct driver installed and everything else works fine:
:root: ~ : pacman -Qs intel
local/intel-dri 10.0.2-1
Mesa drivers for Intel
local/xf86-video-intel 2.99.907-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
I tried nuking my Libre Office directory in my home directory but that yielded no change. My .gtk-* directories don't contain anything specific to LO.
These are the only fonts I've added to this install (thanks boohoomil) and are not customised in any way:
local/cairo-infinality-ultimate 1.12.16-3 (infinality-bundle)
Cairo vector graphics library with respect-fontconfig, expose and Ubuntu patches (infinality-bundle)
local/fontconfig-infinality-ultimate 2.11.0-15 (infinality-bundle)
A library for configuring and customizing font access (includes generic fontconfig package and ultimate settings by bohoomil).
local/freetype2-infinality-ultimate 2.5.2-3 (infinality-bundle)
TrueType font rendering library with Infinality patches and custom settings by bohoomil (infinality-bundle).
I have gone so far as to try snapwm and Xfce4 but there is no difference in the font rendering in LO.
I'm stymied about this because I have used this setup previously on this and two other machines. Any ideas?
MS

I thought of that but, as I use the infinality-bundle, which fonts do I need to test this hypothesis? Or can you suggest one I can install from the official repos?
[edit] Just after posting this I remembered that LO, as noted on the wiki somewhere, suggest one install the ttf-dejavu font. After installing this font everything is now showing correctly.
@nomorewindows, Thank you very much! I feel a bit silly but I learned something from this and for that I grateful to you.

Fonts Incorrect when using compressor

When I encode my .motn file straight from Motion, the fonts show up correctly in the finished quicktime. However, I've got about 62 of these motion files that need to be batch encoded, but when they come out of Compressor, the fonts display incorrectly...as if the font is not on my machine and being substituted.
I've checked several of the motion files and the fonts they are using are installed on my system. What would cause this to happen?

Ok, now I'm really stumped. So I took Patrick's suggestion and reinstalled the fonts system-wide. I checked the fonts were working correctly by launching a couple of the motion files, checking the fonts, then saving them.
I then trashed Compressor's pref files (and FinalCut's pref files just for fun). Then I repaired disk permissions and rebooted. Once back in, I launched Compressor and loaded up two of the Motion projects. After choosing the appropriate encode preset, I double checked in the preview window and the fonts were dispalying correctly. Yay! So I submitted the job and waited. I opened the final quicktime file and the fonts are INCORRECT. What in the world??
So, to recap: fonts show up correctly in Motion, they show up correctly in the Compressor preview, they even show up correctly in the timeline of FCP. But exporting from Compressor results in the wrong font and exporting my sequence from FCP crashes my system every time. I'm so confused.

Fonts only rendering as squares (KDE at least) [solved]

I'm installing my second Arch box (hurray!) and I'm having a problem with fonts. When I start up KDE (including KDM), all the fonts are rendered as squares. I think I have the locale setup properly including rc.conf, and both the 75 dpi and 100 dpi xorg fonts installed. Xorg.0.log didn't seem to give any clues. Obviously I'm missing something silly. Does anyone know what it is?
Edit-->> OpenOffice works fine, so it seems to be a KDE issue.

It seems to have done the trick. Thanks

Apple Symbos font: incorrect glyph for SQUARE CUP (Unicode 2294)

The only font on my system containing the Unicode point 2294 which is named SQUARE CUP (latex: \sqcup) is in Apple Symbols. The glyph for this Unicode point is the same as for 2293 called SQUARE CAP (latex: \sqcap) and is thus incorrect, i.e. it's upside down. It would be nice if that could be fixed.
Thanks,
Axel.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The only font on my system containing the Unicode
point 2294 which is named SQUARE CUP (latex: \sqcup)
is in Apple Symbols. The glyph for this Unicode point
is the same as for 2293 called SQUARE CAP (latex:
\sqcap) and is thus incorrect, i.e. it's upside down.
It would be nice if that could be fixed.
These forums are for user to user help. To tell Apple you would like something fixed, use the feedback channel:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
But the problem with 2293/2294 was fixed in 10.4 in any case. So you might want to upgrade or try to get a copy of the font from the newer version.

I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start

After removing system fonts and reinstalling fonts, FireFox will not start! When I start FireFox the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" opens as if FF just crashed??? I don't see any records in event viewer. I am using FF v3.6.3 on a Windows 7 box. I tried uninstalling 3.6.3 and installing 3.0.18 and had the same problem!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After a uninstalled all fonts including system fonts and then reinstalling system fonts. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.4; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; AskTB5.5)

The files with submitted crash report ids are inside the ''submitted '' directory, from the directory you found the LastCrash.txt timestamp file.
The file names will begin with '''bp-'''
There might be more information from the crash report, but it might just tell us you are crashing the first time Firefox tries to use a font.
One thing I suppose you could do is select only those fonts you've got in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts and Colors -> Advanced and then uncheck the '''Allow pages to use their own fonts''' option.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel#Fonts_Dialog
To be honest, I can't find anything on this Netscape Font Navigator and it sounds highly dubious.

I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get into Word?
