Ugly fonts in all qt programs

Recently all my qt programs (even qtconfig itself) has ugly fonts.
It must be some new packages but I dont know which.
I already tired to remove ~/.fonts.conf to restore the defaults, but it remains the same.
Can anyone help?

I managed to fix the problem. I created the file "~/.fonts.conf" with
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
and then entered:
fc-cache -vf
and the problem is now resolved.

  • [SOLVED] Ugly fonts in KDE plamoids

    I'm running KDE 4.8 on my Arch 64 box and I've had for a while now ugly fonts in all the plasma widgets I'm running. All the other fonts look nice and smooth in all other places, eg. GTK and QT apps etc. but plasma widget fonts aren't as smooth for some reason. I'm using the infinality patches with the "UBUNTU" setting currently. Any heads up on would be nice...
    Many Thanks

    Dont use the first advice, because you will lose the advantages of raster system system wide. Raster system is faster than native, so apps are snappier with it. The second method is better

  • Feature Request: Consistently Intelligent Font Lists across all CS Program

    Current Problems/Inconsistencies in Font Lists + Suggested Solutions:
    NUMBER OF FONTS SIMULTANEOUSLY DISPLAYED:
    Premiere Pro (PP): 16 (too few!)
    AE: 19 (too few!)
    Photoshop: 40 (adequate)
    Illustrator: auto-maximizing (displays as many fonts as screen supports, 50 on a 1920x1080 monitor)
    *SOLUTION: Make all font lists auto-maximizing like Illustrator!
    FONT PREVIEWS:
    PP: Yes (6 user-defined characters previewed next to font names)
    AE: No previews
    Photoshop: Yes ('Sample' displayed in each font, but too small for comfortable viewing)
    Illustrator: Yes (Each font name is displayed in actual font, but this makes it inconvenient to know the name of 'Dingbat' fonts.)
    *SOLUTION: Make all font lists display font names in left column, with 'Sample' displayed in the actual fonts to the right.  When users select any text, replace 'Sample' with the first 1-30 selected characters for instant previewing in all available fonts (e.g. selecting the '&' character would display '&' in all available fonts for instant comparison). Also make font lists resizable with a horizontal zoom bar at top of list to ensure comfortable viewing for everyone.
    SCROLL BAR:
    PP & AE: Yes
    Photoshop: Yes (perfect size and color scheme for best visibility)
    Illustrator: No (current scrolling method is frustratingly slow!)
    *SOLUTION: Add a Photoshop style scroll bar to each font list for best visibility/usability.
    FONT SELECTING WITH ARROW KEYS:
    PP & AE: Yes, by arrow-keying up/down in both the font fields and font lists
    Photoshop & Illustrator: Only from the font fields. Highlighting fonts with the arrow keys in the font lists doesn't result in font visualizing.
    *SOLUTION: Allow PREVIEWING of fonts by arrow-keying up/down in font fields and font lists in all CS programs.  I emphasize 'previewing' instead of 'selecting', since previewing fonts avoids the problem of unnecessary undos being created for each font visualized with the arrow keys. (Note: Arrow-scrolling through the font field in Photoshop's Options bar works as I suggest, by 'previewing' each font without creating unnecessary undos.  Unfortunately, arrow-scrolling through the font field in Photoshop's Character panel does create useless "Set Character Style" History states for every visualized font.  This kind of inconsistency even within a single program is crazy!)
    CONCLUSION:
    CS programs are all part of the same family, and should therefore behave as such with consistently intelligent tools.  This includes font lists with a consistently intelligent design.
    Please comment and share!  Let's get these glaring font list inconsistencies finally fixed!

    If you want to do this correctly you need to file a request for each feature.
    Ripple Sequence and Chapter Markers is already implemented. Sequence markers are the same as chapter markers, yes? (Ripple Sequence Markers, select Marker > Ripple Sequence Markers.)
    Ability to print the Keyboard Shortcuts, or save all of them as a text file. also available. (hold ctrl+shift while opening. A button with clipboard appears)
    Keyboard shortcuts to scale image zoom in Source and Program tabs. available
    Keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease playback resolution. available
    Make Export and Title windows return to the previously adjusted size and placement. They do.
    Some feature you posted are great. How about a eyedropper tool for the Color Matte?
    I find the Magnet for Snap quite visible. There is also this feature in the Pref to make the playhead snap.

  • How do I globally set the font of a java program

    I would like to define a default font for all the labels, button, and text on a JFrame. I used the following lines:
    static Font defaultFont = new Font("dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
    contentPane.setFont(defaultFont);
    contentPane.add(xxxxx);
    contentPane.add(yyyyy);
    You would expect all the components added in the contentPane would use the font I specified, but they are not. I need to go into each pane, and set each label/buttons font in order for it wok. Can someone tell me why this is not working? and maybe a better way?

    You can change the properties for the entire application by using the UIManger class:
    UIManager.put("Button.font", defaultFont );
    UIManager.put("Label.font", defaultFont );
    This should be done before the JFrame is initially shown.
    For a list of the all the properties that can be set, check out this program I wrote. All the properties for a given component are shown on a separate tab in a tabbed pane.

  • Fonts used for dreamweaver program not working

    Hi I had installed fonts on my computer using font book and since then, I can not load Dreamweaver!  I turned off and deleted most of the fonts and dreamweaver will now load, however the font used for the system - Example - on the preferences screen - the font used by the program is wacked and the fonts on the intro screen are just crazy symbols. 
    I am wondering what fonts are used by default by Dreamweaver for the program itself to function.  if I open font book at the same time - both programs crash. - thank you very much in advance!!!!
    please help see attached screen shot.
    Christina

    First open Font Book and validate all fonts.  I believe you have to select all fonts cmd+a, and then click file->validate font.  If any are corrupt, delete them.  Also for future reference you may want to create a new collection (bottom left plus) with your custom fonts to avoid this issue in the future.  Unfortunately, with a corrupt font this can be a long enduring process.

  • I'm new to Mac's and I find the display's just slightly too small. I'd like to increase the size for all my program. Is there a single setting that I can change?

    I'm new to Mac's and I find the display's just slightly too small. I'd like to increase the size of my display for all my programs. Is there a single setting that I can change as a default setting?

    You can drop the resolution a little, but it makes everything blurry.
    OS X isn't as friendly like Windows is to give some UI adjustment, one of many major complaints about the platform that has gone unheeded for years now.
    As a lifelong Mac user who's eyes are going due to age, I'm really liking Windows 7 more and more every day.
    If you use Firefox, NoSquint and Theme Font & Size Changer add-ons, with a nice persona that makes better contrast, tweak the FF toolbars, you can at least make your web surfing tolerable on Mac's.
    Also you can set a Control key in System Preferences > Universal Access plus a scroll wheel mouse, if you need to zoom in/out certain areas of OS X, however for a pernament UI scale solution there is none that's practical, unless you have a large room, a projector and a smooth wall.
    A larger monitor won't work up close neither, however dropping the resolution and sitting back a bit might sharpen the images a bit.
    The UI really needs to be adjustable and it's not.

  • Illustrator dose not save with any text/fonts then locks up program

    I will start off with. 
    I am using CS4 Design Premium with Windows 7.
    For the last three weeks I had a problem with a few of the programs Illustrator, Indesign, Fireworks.  Not saving while getting an error can’t save this file.
    Also in Illustrator while it is loading running the splash page, as it loads the different files it stops and gives an error   PFDFormat.ai is missing.
    Now I worked with Abode for two of the three weeks.  I finally figured out the problem.  FONTS  I remove a few fonts I recently installed.  Great everything has worked for about 5 days and I am back to the font problem.
    When I open Illustrator it loads fine but once I try to open a file or create a new file I get an error “unknown error has occurred”.
    When I restart my computer then start illustrator when it opens it works with vector objects but no fonts at all. I tried to even use the default Myraid Pro no luck.
    So in short when I try to put text in a file in any program of Adobe CS4 I can not save and it stops that program from working.
    I know this is a font problem.
    How can I remove all the extra fonts with out removing the required ones for Windows and Adobe?  When can I find a list of the fonts? 
    I have also found before you install a particular font check the properties for that file some of them have a block/unblock this file.  This is something I have not found if I do not do this will this cause the problem. I think that is the problem but still not sure which fonts are required and which ones I can delete. 
    I am looking for Windows 7 required fonts and
    Adobe required fonts so I can delete all others.

    If you are having a program loading and locking up fist thing check your fonts with a font program, it is worth the time.  I have been working this problem for a month.  I even had the Adobe support confused after they spend about 6 hours all together on my system they still did not figure it out.  I did I have five different fonts corrupted.  They were already installed I did not add any fonts either.  Good luck everyone!

  • How can I tell which fonts come with a program?

    It seems as if every program you get has its own set of fonts.  Now that Rosetta no longer works under lion I have some old programs I want to uninstall.  Also, there are other fonts from programs I know I will never use so I just would like to find out which font goes with which program.  Thanks!!

    The half hearted warning is it as far as I know.
    I suggest when you get a chance, load up copies of all the fonts the office uses so he is covered whatever you land on his desk.

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please help. I have been using itunes with my ipod nano for years. Several months ago I did a requested upgrade and have not been able to open itunes since. I get an error message that says that itunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126) I have tried to uninstall all Apple programs and reinstall itunes several times and it doesn't work. I keep getting the same message. I am looking for a solution to get my library back so I can but more songs for my ipod.

    I have same problem--did you ever find a solution?

  • Received an iTunes update and then error message "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes. error 7 (Windows error 126) I also received and error message that MSVCR80.dll was not found.  I read online to unintall all Apple programs and

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)

    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Confused about Color Management in CS5 (Photos appearing differently in all other programs)

    I recently noticed this and it's been driving me crazy; when I view photos in Photoshop CS5 they appear significantly lighter/more washed out than when viewed in other programs like Zoombrowser, Digital Photo Professional or just in a regular Windows folder using Filmstrip mode (Windows XP).  When opening the same photo in both CS5 and Zoombrowser and switching back and forth between the two windows the difference is very apparent...for example, one of the photos I compared was of a person in a black shirt -- in CS5 (lighter/washed out) the folds in the shirt were very obvious, but in Zoombrowser (darker, more contrast/saturation) the folds were nearly invisible and it looked like just solid black.  Now, after messing around with the settings in both Photoshop and in Zoombrowser I've found a few ways to get the photos to look the same in the two programs; one way gives them both the lighter/more washed out appearance and another way gives them both the darker appearance with more contrast and saturation.  My problem is that I'm not sure which view is accurate.
    I use a NEC MultiSync LCD1990SXi monitor with SpectraView II calibration software and calibrate it every 2 weeks using these calibration settings (screenshot): http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8826/settingsx.jpg
    In the SpectraView II Software under Preferences there's an option that says "Set as Windows Color Management System Monitor Profile - Automatically selects and associates the generated ICC monitor profile with the Color Management System (CMS)."  This option is checked.  Also, when I open the Windows' Color Management window there's only one option displayed, which is "LCD1990SXi #######" (the ####### represents my monitor's serial number).
    I assume the above settings are all correct so far, but I'm not sure about the rest.
    Here are my current default Color Settings in CS5 (screenshot): http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/666/photoshopcolorsettings.jpg
    Changing these settings around doesn't seem to make the photo appear much different.  However, when I go to Edit -> Assign Profile, then click off of "Working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and instead click Profile and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" from the drop-down menu, the picture becomes darker with more contrast and saturation and matches the picture in Zoombrowser.  Also, if I select "Adobe RGB (1998)" from the drop-down menu it's very similar in terms of increased darkness and contrast but the saturation is higher than with the LCD1990SXi setting.  Another way I've found to make the image equally dark with increased contrast and saturation is to go to View -> Proof Setup -> Custom and then click the drop-down menu next to "Device to Simulate" and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" again.
    Alternatively, to make both images equally light and washed out I can go to Zoombrowser -> Tools -> Preferences and check the box next to "Color Management: Adjust colors of images using monitor profile."  This makes the image in Zoombrowser appear just like it does in CS5 by default.
    Like I said, I'm confused as to which setting is the accurate one (I'm new to Color Management in general so I apologize for my ignorance on the subject).
    It would seem that assigning the LCD1990SXi profile in CS5 would be the correct choice in order to match the monitor calibration given the name of the profile but the "Adjust colors of images using monitor profile" option in Zoombrowser sounds like it would do the same thing as well.  Also, I've read that Photoshop is a color managed software whereas Zoombrowser and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer are not which makes me think that maybe the lighter/washed out version seen in Photoshop is correct.  So which version (light or dark) is the accurate one that I should use to view and edit my photos?  Thanks in advance for any help or info.

    Sorry for the late reply;
    But before we go there or make any assumptions, it's important for
    you to determine whether you're seeing consistent color in your
    color-managed applications and only inconsistent color in those that are
    not color-managed.  For that you'll need to do a little research to see
    if the applications in which you're seeing darker colors have
    color-management capability (and whether it is enabled).
    I opened the same picture in 7 different applications and found that the 6 of the 7 displayed the photo equally dark with equally high contrast when compared to the 7th application (CS5).  The other 6 applications were Zoombrowser EX, Digital Photo Professional, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, Quicktime PictureViewer, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Firefox.
    However, at least two of these programs offer color management preferences and, when used, display the photo (from what I can tell) exactly the same as Photoshop CS5's default settings.  The two programs are two Canon programs: Zoombrowser EX and Digital Photo Professional.  Here's the setting that needs to be selected in Zoombrowser in order to match up with CS5 (circled in red):
    And here's the setting in Digital Photo Professional that needs to be selected in order to match up with CS5 (again, circled in red):
    *Note: When the option above "Monitor Profile" is selected ("Use the OS settings") the image is displayed exactly the same as when the monitor profile is selected.  It's only when sRGB is selected that it goes back to the default darker, more contrasty version.
    So with the red-circled options selected, all three programs (CS5, ZB, DPP) display the images the same way; lighter and more washed out.  What I'm still having trouble understanding is if that ligher, more washed out display is the accurate one or not...I've read several tutorials for all three programs which only make things more confusing.  One of the tutorials says to always use sRGB if you want accurate results and *never* to use Monitor Profile and another says that, if you're using a calibrated monitor, you should always select Monitor Profile under the color management settings...so I'm still lost, unfortunately.
    What I also don't understand is why, when the monitor profile is selected in CS5, the image is displayed in the dark and contrasty way that the other programs display it as by default but when the monitor profile is selected in Digitial Photo Professional it displays it in the lighter, more washed out way that CS5 displays it using CS5's default settings (sRGB).  Why would selecting the monitor profile in DPP display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in Photoshop?  And vice versa...why would selecting the monitor profile in Photoshop display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in DPP?
    I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...which I probably am.  Again, I'm very new to this stuff so pardon my ignorance on the topic.
    By the way, I find that the way that the non-color managed programs (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer et al.) display the photos is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the duller, more washed out display that CS5 gives the photos, but ultimately what I want to see in these programs (especially PS5 where I'll be doing the editing) is the accurate representation of the actual photo itself...i.e. what it's supposed to look like and not a darker (or lighter) variant of it.
    So just to reiterate my questions:
    Why does selecting Monitor Profile under the color management settings in DPP give the same display results as the default sRGB profile in CS5 and vice versa?  (CS5 with monitor profile selected having the same display results as DPP with the sRGB profile selected)
    When using CS5 with it's default color management settings (sRGB), using DPP with the Monitor Profile selected, and using Zoombrowser EX with "Adjust color of images using monitor profile" selected this results in all three programs displaying the same lighter, washed-out images...is this lighter, more washed-out display of the images shown in these three programs the accurate one?
    I noticed when opening an image in Firefox it had the same darker, contrasty look as the other non-color managed applications had.  Assuming that the CS5 default settings are accurate, does this mean that if I edit a photo in CS5, save it, and upload it to the internet that other people who are viewing that image online will see it differently than how it's supposed to look (i.e. in a non-color-managed way?)  If so, this would seem to indicate that they'd see a less-than-flattering version of the photo since if their browser naturally displays images as darker and more contrasty and I added more darkness and contrast to the image in CS5, they'd be seeing a version of the photo that's far too dark and probably wouldn't look very good.  Is this something I have to worry about as well?
    I apologize for the lengthy post; I do tend to be a bit OCD about these things...it's a habit I picked up once I realized I'd been improperly editing photos on an  incorrectly calibrated monitor for years and all that time and effort had been spent editing photos in a certain way that looked good on my incorrectly calibrated monitor but looked like crap on everyone else's screen, so the length and detail of this post comes from a desire to not repeat similar mistakes by editing photos the wrong way all over again.  Again, thanks in advance for all the help, it's greatly appreciated!
