Urxvt dynamic font switching nuances

By changing the font size dynamically (using the printf...007 method mentioned in urxvt(7)), some font spacing issues seem to be introduced:
In the doctored screenshot, lines one to four are urxvt open with DejaVu Sans Mono 9. In lines five to eight, I switch to size=11. Notice how the font spacing and size of the ls output is wrong. The remaining lines are of a new urxvt instance with the expected results.
I've tried setting the font size in .Xdefaults and reloading with xrdb load... to no avail.
Any thoughts?

Which package are you using for urxvt? rxvt-unicode from [extra]?

Dynamic Fonts in JSP With applet

Hi Buddies
My Multilingual web application uses a dynamic font , the technology provided by TrueDoc.com. Now the problem is the webpage works properly by making use of the dynamic fonts and I get stuck to life when I realised that my applet should also display using the dynamic font.
The dynamic font is a file with an extension of .pfr usually placed in the server and all the webpages will be bound to the server to make use of the .pfr font, there by making all the clients to view the sam font
irrespective of the fonts installed in the client machine.
How do i get going

The applet is run on the client machine, so you have to include the .pfr with the applet code. Best bet would be to use a JAR for the Applet and package the .pfr inside there.

Dynamic Environment Switching For REPORTS_PATH 11g

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.2.0 with Patch Set 2 (11.1.1.3.0) - Linux
Dynamic Environment Switching For REPORTS_PATH doesn't work.
According to documentation B32121-03 (Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) point 8.2.2):
1. comment REPORTS_PATH in reports.sh
2. set enviroment settings in rwserver.conf with REPORTS_PATH and NLS_LANG and defaultEnvId (DEV and PRD with defaultEnvId="DEV")
3. restart reports server
4. run http://mywls:8888/reports/rwservlet?SERVER=rep_wls_reports_mywls_asinst_1&REPORT=testreport.rdf&USERID=user/user1@mydb&DESFORMAT=html&DESTYPE=cache&ENVID=DEV
REP-110: File testreport.rdf cannot be opened.
REP-1070: An error occurred while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: File testreport.rdf cannot be opened.
The same situation for &ENVID=PRD or without ENVID (as I expect it should work as default - DEV enviroment). File testreport.rdf is located in both paths (/u00/DEV/reports and /u00/PRD/reports)
http://mywls:8888/reports/rwservlet/showenv?server=rep_wls_reports_mywls_asinst_1&authid=oiduser/oiduser1 reads informations from reports.sh file but doesn't read enviroment settings from rwserver.conf (REPORTS_PATH is empty because I comment it in reports.sh).
Where's my problem? Should I set any other setting(s)?
Unfortunately note [231051.1] and other referenced doesn't resolve my problem...
Edited by: user9093781 on 2011-08-23 06:50

Not sure if this helps at all. I just went through a nightmare trying to get 11g forms/reports to work through the forms builder.
What I discovered with that is that I indeed had to set the REPORTS_PATH in rwserver.conf... however there were 3 different files that I ended up having to put it in (not sure if had to be in all 3). And perhaps more importantly, there seems to be an order to how you put these xml statements in the rwserver.conf files.
In my case, it wouldn't work at all until I put it right after the last "<engine id=" statement.
Mine looks something like this (not that this is a snippet of the file in Windows, for running via Forms/Reports Builder):
<engine id="rwURLEng" class="oracle.reports.urlengine.URLEngineImpl" maxEngine="1" minEngine="0" engLife="50"/>
<environment id="default">
 <envVariable value="C:\Oracle\WLS11gR1U4\user_projects\domains\AISworkstation\" name="REPORTS_PATH"/>
 <envVariable value="AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1" name="NLS_LANG"/>
 <envVariable value="RRRR-MM-DD" name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT"/>
</environment>
<environment id="windev_xxxxxxxx">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH"
value="M:\ADS\Dvlprs\xxxxxxx\11g\FormsApps\stage;M:\ADS\Dvlprs\xxxxxxx\11g\FormsApps"/>
</environment>
I'm still figuring this all out too (although I did get it working how I need.. just not sure if it is the optimal solution), so I'm not sure how much this will help you. But for sure I can say that there is an order to these XML tags that I'm not so sure was the same (or maybe not enforced) in 10g.
Good luck

Dynamic Bitrate Switching on Live Stream

I have FMIS 3.5. I've installed it with pretty much all the default values. I haven't changed any of the settings in either the LIVE or the VOD applications.
Dynamic Bitrate Switching is working well for VOD, but not working at all for LIVE streams. Doing a regular bandwidth detection on both the LIVE and the VOD applications give similar, high bandwidth results. However, the LIVE application NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is showing a very low bandwidth capability of around maxBytesPerSecond = 19016, where as for the VOD its achieving around 637110. I can play a single LIVE stream of a high quality smoothly without any error.
I don't know if this is relevent but I'm getting some error messages occassionally in the log of the live application saying : Dropping application (live/_definst_) message. Clients not allowed to broadcast message. These messages aren't consistent, and don't coincide with trying to use bitrate switching.
I have tried downloading the Adobe sample StreamSwitching.fla and it won't play the LIVE streams at all. Using the opensource Longtail Video player it just always defaults to the lowest stream. Here is an example: http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/testbed/live/livestream2.asp
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be here? And any possible solutions?

Thanks,I have read that article. Based on that article the NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is not an accurate measurement to base dynamic switching on. This seems to be the basis of the bitrate switching in both the longtail player, and the adobe examples that I have tried. That article suggests using the dropped frames property, in conjunciton with bufferlength to determine if switching is neccessary. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a player online which handles this successfully. That being said, I can't believe I'm the only person trying to implement dynamic bitrate switching for live streams so surely there are some players out there which can do this successfully? If anyone knows of any code available which does this successfully I would appreciate knowing where! The examples provided by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35 unfortunately don't work either.

802.1x Dynamic VLAN Switching Question

Trying to set up 802.1x dynamic VLAN switching, and have a question. I think I've gotten it working except for one part. The VLAN on a protected interface is never getting switched. I can see an entry in the ACS stating that it applied the appropriate VLAN via RADIUS response, but it never changes on the switch.
Environment:
ACS Express 5.0.1
C3550 running c3550-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE6.bin
Switch config:
aaa new-model
aaa group server radius dot1x

aaa authentication dot1x default group dot1x
dot1x system-auth-control
dot1x guest-vlan supplicant
interface FastEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 3
switchport mode access
speed 100

dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x port-control auto
dot1x violation-mode protect

radius-server host 10.10.1.4 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 01000307490E125E731F
Am I missing something easy?

It looks like "aaa authorization network default group dot1x" was the missing command I needed to get this working.
The only issue I'm having now is that if the client fails to meet the authentication requirements, the line status gets set as "down"

Dynamic Fonts loading in CS4 vs CS3. What has changed?!

Hi there,
I've had BIG troubles loading dynamic fonts in CS4. Well I had a whole library written in AS3 for CS3 which works just fine. But the whole thing doesn't work anymore in CS4. The textfields are empty although the fonts are loaded and registered via Font.registerFont. So the loading process actually worked. But the text just doesn't appear anymore.
In CS3 it works, in CS4 id doesn't work, with exactly the same FLA and AS files.
The Font files were exported with CS3. Maybe there's the problem? There is another font-file I had to export with flex (due to the character limitations in the flash IDE), that actually does work(!)
So what has changed between CS3 and CS4? There must be some reason why things don't work anymore like they did before.
If someone is interested in the source... it's quite a lot just to get a font loaded.

just out of curiosity -- did you update all of the applications?

Dynamic Fonts in Safari

Is there any way I can make safari work to display dynamic fonts? there are few regional newspaper websites that use such fonts and safari is not displaying the contents of those websites properly....for example:
www.anandabazar.com
Any help on this would be very much appreciated...
Regards,
Rudra

How would I confirm what font the website
is using?
I gave you the name. I found it by doing View > Page Source.
Where do I download the font from?
I did a search but could not find it anywhere for download. You could email the site and ask them. It might be that some other non-Unicode Bengali font would work. Sorry I don't have time right now to download them a try them out.
I suspect this particular site may be a hopeless case.
Dynamic fonts are an old, essentially Windows-only technology used mainly by some Asian sites which do not have the knowledge or technology to shift to Unicode, where everyone with any kind of computer can easily download the fonts being used, for example from:
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Bengali.html

How to install dynamic fonts during loading the website?

During loading the website, some of theTamil fonts in official website are not displayed in the browser. Dynamic fonts are not loaded and displayed. So I need the help to enable dynamic font installation.

The Padma extension should allow you to view websites that make use of proprietary font formats.

The proper way to embed fonts in Firefox is described in the following article (only useful for web designers).

Dynamic locale switching

Hi,
I need to implement dynamic locale switching in my application i.e. the user
is allowed to change the application display language in runtime.
Is there a mechanism in JavaFX to automatically achieve this goal?
I know that I can use e.g. 2d array where every row may be a different language
and each row item could be a translated text and bind the array items to the UI elements.
I have also tried something like:
java.util.Locale.setDefault(newLocale);
StringLocalizer.associate("myapp.Main";, "myapp");but that does not refresh all texts on screen until I update them manually after switching language:
label.text = ##"Text in a label"Is there a way to refresh all visible texts after switching locale?
Thanks,
Dariusz Gadomski

Does each customer mean each user, or are there many users for each customer?

2) doableIn general you can use a TopLink DatabaseSession for each user/customer. You can use the same TopLink Project but can use a different login for each session you create.

If you have many users for each customer, you could potentially use a different TopLink ServerSession for each customer and allow the users to benifit from connection pooling and caching.

If you are using JPA, there is no easy way to do this currently. You could create the ServerSession yourself and then wrap it yourself with the TopLink EnitityManager implementation. You could use the same TopLink Project from your JPA persistent unit ServerSession and use a different login in your new ServerSession. If each customer has only one user then you could use a connection pool with only 1 connection.

1) a bad idea
This is probably not a good idea. You avoid being able to share resources such as connection pools across your customers, and cannot share data. But it depends on how many customers you have and how distinct they are. Having each customer run on different databases allows you to have a different machine and application server for each customer, which you may need depending on how each customer scales. If you end up having a different server for each customer, then you could just have a single persistence unit in your application and change the persistence.xml or data-source when you deploy a new customer server.

Dynamic lov switcher at UI

Hi All,
I am trying to use a dynamic LOV switcher for two LOVs which are cascading LOVs. The second dependant LOV has to conditionally switch between 3 data sources.
I am able to acheive this at model layer. My BC tester works fine. But when i drag the VO onto my jspx and run it, it doesn't work.
The steps i perform on jspx are -
Set Autosubmit to true for 1st LOV field. Set partial trigger for second lov with 1st lov's id.
I also tried by changing the ChangeEventPolicy from PPR to none for the VO's iterator binding in the jspx page.
Fun is that, it works for me when i drag it as an adf-table with Row selection as SINGLE. But if I drag it as an ADF FORM, it does not work.
Any help is appreciated...

Hi,
can you provide a test case based on the Oracle HR schema? Also please mention your JDeveloper version. If you have a test case, send me a mail with a reference (URL) to this thread. The ZIP file containing the test case should be renamed to "unzip". My mail address is in my OTN profile (just follow the name link). Note that I don't accept test cases for which I will have to run scripts or that are based on JDeveloper versions that cannot be downloaded from OTN.

Dynamic Font

Hi,
Is there any way to read web pages written in dynamic font? Safari does not support it. Neither does Netscape anything above 4.X or Firefox. These are Indian and Bangladesh newspapers. To help you better understand my issue, you may visit following links:
www.anandabazar.com (Indian Bengali Newspaper)
www.prothom-alo.com (Bangladesh Bengali Newspaper).
Thanks!

Is there any way to read web pages written in dynamic
font?
No, Mac browsers can't use them as far as I know. However, sometimes such sites will let you download the non-standard encoding font they are using and you can install it and read the pages that way. I think the Opera browser works better than others in doing this.
www.anandabazar.com (Indian Bengali Newspaper)
See if you can download the font from the site.
www.prothom-alo.com (Bangladesh Bengali Newspaper).
This looks like it might be a Unicoded site. You can try downloading a Bengali Unicode font, such as found here:
http://www.travelphrases.info/gallery/Fonts_Bengali.html
However these may not display very correctly, as they are designed for Windows.

[SOLVED] Urxvt increasing font size problems.

Hello,
I'm having some problems getting Urxvt to increase my terminus font size.
I have installed aur/urxvt-font-size-git and have the following in my .Xdefaults:
URxvt.keysym.Control-Up: \033[1;5A
URxvt.keysym.Control-Down: \033[1;5B
URxvt.keysym.Control-Left: \033[1;5D
URxvt.keysym.Control-Right: \033[1;5C
URxvt.iso14755: false
URxvt.iso14755_52: false
URxvt.keysym.Control-minus: perl:font-size:increase
URxvt.keysym.Control-equal: perl:font-size:decrease
URxvt.keysym.Shift-Control-V: perl:clipboard:paste

!URxvt.font: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso8859-1
URxvt.antialias: false
Running
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults && urxvt
returns no errors, however Control-Minus/Equal do not increase my font size. I have tried swapping the URxvt.font values between the commented/uncommented lines but it still doesn't work.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Edit: I am using I3 as my WM and I don't have any mappings that would conflict.

Looking at the wiki entry for this extension, it appears that you're missing font-size in this line. Try adding it and seeing if it helps.
Wow, can't believe I missed that. Thanks!

Dynamic persistence switching

I have a legacy application with multiple databases with identical schema [one for each customer]. I would like to switch the persitence objects [entity beans] dynamically, depending on the customer context. Is this 1) a bad idea and 2) doable?? This is a Sun Java Application server environmet [Netbeans 5.5 ide] with Toplink persistance engine...

Does each customer mean each user, or are there many users for each customer?

2) doableIn general you can use a TopLink DatabaseSession for each user/customer. You can use the same TopLink Project but can use a different login for each session you create.

AS3 dynamic font embedding bug

Hi all,
Is there a known bug for the following case?
Case:
A project I'm working on doesn't seem to handle font embedding correctly when the font is added dynamically using actionscript. When I test my movie it does not display the embedded font at all. Curious about this is, that when I create an empty project using the same code and then embed the font and test the movie it displays the font without any problem.
Sometimes a reboot of the machine I'm working on will suffice to make the embedding work again, but sometimes is not all the time. So I was wondering if there was a memory related bug that causes this behavior. If so, is there any sight on a solution for this bug? It's more than annoying to reboot eight times a day, just to test a movie.
How did I embed the font:
1. Create a "New Font" in the Library, set the properties and give it a classname.
2. Using actionscript to embed the font in a dynamically generated TextField.
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.text.Font;
import flash.display.text.TextFormat;
import flash.display.text.TextField;
public class MyClass extends MovieClip{
var myFont:Font;
var myTextFormat:TextFormat;
var myTextField:TextField;
public function MyClass():void{
myFont = new Font1();
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.font = myFont.fontName;
myTextField = new TextField();
myTextField.defaultTextFormat = myTextFormat;
myTextField.embedFonts = true;
myTextField.text = "Lorem Ipsum...";
addChild(myTextField);
Cheers!
Do

I don't have Flash IDE on this machine so I cannot say for sure but try to register font:
public function MyClass():void {
     Font.registerFont(Font1);
     myFont = new Font1();
     // the rest...

Fonts switch to the default Myriad font

Hi All,
Client has reported this issue on several iMacs (10.7.2) running Illustrator CS5.5 with Suitcae Fusion 3 containing a clean font library.
Designer can be working with text (on a greeting card design) and the font they are using (live and active in SF3) will suddenly change to Myriad Pro.
If the user performs apple-z, the font will switch back, therefore presuming it is a keyboard command (clashing or remapped?) as they cannot associate
the change with any menu procedure.
Any ideas

Mike,
Does it also happen when no other application is open?
