WebForms Font Quality Unacceptable

We are porting a WebForm application from 6i to 9i; and upgrading to Jinitiator 1.3.1.17 from 1.1.18.19. The users will not accept the Jagged looking Java Fonts.
This is a common Java complaint and there is a Java solution:
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
Of course this is java code, which has to be added to the Oracle Forms Applet.
Is it possible?
Does anyone know how to do this in WebForms?
Has any one tried to get Oracle to add this to the applet?

When we designed the FMB on Windows we used Arial 9pt Bold. We've made no font mapping changes in the Registry.dat so Arial should map to SansSerif. Our Registry.dat has the following in it:
default.fontMap.appFontnames=Courier New,Courier,courier,System,Terminal,Fixed,Fixedsys,Times,Times New Roman,MS Sans Serif,Arial
default.fontMap.javaFontnames=MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,MonoSpaced,Dialog,MonoSpaced,Dialog,Dialog,Serif,Serif,Dialog,SansSerif
The difference from Jinit 1.1.8.19 to 1.3.1.17 is the same as if on Windows you turn off "smooth edges of screen fonts". On XP that can be set from: Display Properties / Appearance / Effects.

Poor font quality in dynamic text?

Does anyone notice that, for a dynamic text field, the font
quality changes with font size?!?!!
It will consistently become
suddenly bolder at certain font size!
It happens on various fonts!
Refering to the following screenshots:
http://www.terrencetee.com/general/font/1.JPG
http://www.terrencetee.com/general/font/3.JPG
It will only not happen if font is embedded...but due to file
size this is often not possible!
Is this a flash bug/limitation? THanks.
p/s:
I have checked it also shows the same problems on flash
player 10.
Any help will be appreciated.!

As you say that is because you didn't embed the font. If you
want good fonts then you need to do that. Problem solved.

Poor font quality in Adobe Reader

I have the same document open in two different PDF readers, and the font quality in Adobe Reader is really bad. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.4.
I have checked the rendering in Edit > Preferences. Smooth Text is on for Monitor.
Why does this look so much worse in Adobe?

As you say that is because you didn't embed the font. If you

Degraded Font Quality when Publishing

Hey folks,
I'm utilizing iweb '08 and while the site looks great in the iweb program itself, I've noticed that after publishing, the font quality in the navigation bar (and other places) isn't nearly as sharp and defined. Has anyone else noticed this? Might there be some setting that I'm missing that is causing the degradation in quality?
thanks!
Mike

The navigation bar problems appeared with iWeb '08 when using some templates.
I usually start with the "black" or "white" templates from a blank page. In my case the navigation text was distorted and and magnifying when moused over. This was particularly bad on sites converted from iWeb '06 to '08.
I now build all my own navigation menus since this allows search engines to crawl your site and you have a choice of fonts, colors, rollover colors etc. This also allows you to have vertical menus and the the menu can be repeated at the bottom of long pages.
Larger websites can be divided into sections each with their own sub menu.
See here for more information....

To avoid text and layout problems choose your fonts from the web safe Mac/Win list.

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,

Font quality in charts

When creating a chart and applying fonts style, I noticed that the quality of the image returned by the IGS is really poor. All the fonts are "blurry" and are not as nice as in the tables.
We applied all the related notes and all used fonts are installed on IGS server and still not better.
Any idea how to get a better image of the charts?
Thanks!

That's the not we applied when the "problem" started.
At first, no fonts were specified, so it was alwayes the same font that was showing (no bold, no italic, nothing).
Then, we applied this patch 596825 and the formatting started to appear, but, it is now blurry. Just to give you an idea, it's like saving an image as a GIF file in an image software instead of a JPG. Is there any way to change the quality settings of the chart image that we receive from the IGS?
Like: by default, the IGS creates a GIF but that can be changed somehow for a JPG image.
Thanks!

Colors & Photo quality unacceptably degenerates once published at .mac

Deciding if I'll move my website (published using the Earthlink Trellix site builder) over to .Mac using iWeb then cancel my Earthlink account and renew my about to expire .mac account.
I built one webpage using iWeb and published it to .mac - I used the same photos at each site. Viewing my original site at it's Earthlink domain, alongside the iWeb site at the .mac domain, the quality difference is surprising.
The iWeb/.mac site is totally unacceptable. The iWeb page displays the photos as totally washed out, no depth poor luminance. The colors are flat and muddy. This change happens in the publish process, once the photos are online.
What are the unwritten, unpublished parameters involved in getting iWeb or .mac to display images accurately?

Forgive me for sounding stupid, how do I verify this
frame, check inside iweb?
There are no stupid questions, right? Hehe. To check for any image effects, just look in iWeb. Open up the Inspector and click over to the Graphics tab... That's where those options for frames and shadows and reflections are set. Keep an eye on the checkboxes as you click on each image on your page. If it has any of the effects applied, you will see the checkbox appear "checked"...and then you can uncheck them.
AND I'm guessing it this will only give me partial
relief from the problem?
Well if you disable the effects, that will be good. To completely do away with the PNG conversion, you also need to make sure you image is being used at it's original size. To do this, again in the Inspector click over to the Metrics tab. Click on the "Use original size" button.
If you are processing all of your images yourself,
prior to loading them into iWeb, then well, iWeb
seems rather pointless. Errrgh.
It is an unfortunate situation, but I've been doing it long enough that I appreciate the control, I guess. The way I like to see it is that iWeb isn't a graphics program...it's a web publishing program. And it does it's best to make things look the way they are supposed to look. But some of its behavior is counterproductive. Thankfully the helpful people here have figured out ways to work around the deficiencies. I use a graphics program called "Downsize" (http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/) to process my images. It lets you set size, jpg compression and also frames and drop shadows and corners and watermarks.
ALSO - Is there a way to tell what images have been
converted to png besides deducing 'oh that looks like
ca-ca.'
When you pull up your pages in a web browser, just control-click on your images and select "Open image in new window or tab". This should display your image in it's own space and put the URL for the image in the address bar. Look at this URL...the last part is the image filename. You should see either .png or .jpg

Font quality after 10.5.7 update

The quality of all of my fonts on my iMac has suffered since the 10.5.7 update.
They look unclean, thinner and more pixelated than before.
I don’t think this because of faulty fonts as all fonts are suffering from this.
I have been reading about problems with the latest update and ATI RadeonX1600 graphic card - which my iMac has. Has anyone been experiencing something similar?

Thanks for your help. It did all you mentioned, deleted some suspicous fonts and made sure there are no duplicates in my font folders. But still no change to the better.
I am convinced that here has been an overall change in the quality of all graphics on the screen. But it is a very subtle change and it is hard to describe. Perhaps 10.5.7 doesn't cope well with my iMacs graphic card (ATI RadeonX1600). So far I have not read about anyone with similar problems, so of course I could be wrong.

Different font quality in preview mode

Compressor settings for good font quality in H264?

I've tried a lot but when I stream a HD movie with compressor, I got not a sharp and nice qualty of the text on my edit project. I stream in H264 11000kbps in 1280 x 720 (second pass streaming). When I see the text on the movie trailers on the Apple site, this is the quality I want! . They are also in H264 11000 kbps. So what's my problem?
Does anyone knows how you can stream a HD movie with perfectly sharp and well outlined text in compressor?
My master is in ProRes, and it's a very good quality..

shippo,
When you reference "50 fps", do you happen to know if that's fields per second or frames per second? Depending on the answer to that, you may or may not need to adjust that.
When it comes to file size, you have frame rate, frame size, compression type and data transfer rate affecting the final size.
As Russ and darby have suggested, data transfer rate is the main thing to experiment with (since you're publishing for Vimeo, the other setting are pretty much locked in).
I have found that when it comes to playing with the bit rate, a video with a 1280 by 720 frame size needs between 4,000 kilobits per second and 5,000 kilobits per second to maintian good image quality. While you might get good results at a lower rate, high contrast areas in the picture are very, very, very likely to show loss of image quality.
If you need to get your video up asap, start the upload late at night. As long as your internet connection doesn't drop out (knock on wood), you file will be uploaded by the morning.
Also, (for what it's worth) is there any place close by that has fast internet that you could use? If you have access to a computer lab at a local community college, a 1GB file will probably upload in minutes rather than hours.

Font quality problems after Firefox reset

Since resetting Firefox fonts sometimes display poorly at default sizes, but if I zoom in several levels then zoom back out, the problem usually goes away. Solutions?
Update: I've found that just clicking on the Desktop also makes the problem go away.

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.
You can also try to uninstall Windows update KB2670838 if you have this update.

If anything I think it's a bit bolder and clearer than before.

Help with embedding Type1 OTF Fonts in Word 2007/2010 docs

Hi,
I purchased a few Adobe OpenType Pro fonts including Myriad Pro and Garamond Pro. I want to use those fonts in Word 2007 and/or 2010 .docx type documents. It works fine while I work on my PC which has the fonts installed. Word recognizes the fonts and I can use them, in the 2010 version even with some OpenType features like ligatures, medieval numerals, etc. However, I have tremendous difficulties embedding those fonts so recipients can actually read and/or edit my documents.
Exporting the fiels into PDF also skips embedding the fonts (at least as long as I use Microsofts PDF Export).
Can someone please tell me:
1) Is embedding of OpenType fonts in Word 2007 or 2010 possible at all?
2) If not, can I trade in the fonts for the corresponding TrueType versions?
3) If that is not possible, is there a way to convert the fonts into TrueType without losing too much of the font quality?
Thank you all for your kind support.
JP

Microsoft only allows embedding of TrueType fonts and OpenType TrueType-flavored fonts to be embedded in their Office documents. There is nothing in OpenType CFF fonts (the OpenType fonts with Type 1 outlines in them) from being embedded in Office documents other than a business decision by Microsoft. Complain to them.
No, Adobe does not provide its OpenType CFF fonts in OpenType TrueType format.
No, there is no reasonable way to “convert” OpenType CFF fonts to OpenType TrueType format without some degradation of quality. Essentially you would be converting Bezier curves definition outlines in quadratic curve outlines and discarding the hinting which provides for intelligent scaling.
I suggest you complain to Microsoft about this. Again, it is their business decision and pretty bone-headed one at that!

why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

JGC wrote:Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.
i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx

Website fonts does not look correct.

When I open some sites it does not show the font clearly and very difficult to read. IE or chrome usage looks good which I am doing now. Want to use Firefox again.
Firefox version: 28.0
OS: Windows 7.
Example site: http://www.ndtv.com/news/
Troubleshooting.
Without addon: Same issue
Safe mode: Same Issue
New profile for firefox: same issue.
Even for this site the font are not looking correct.

Could you check Windows 7's ClearType settings? Unlike IE, Firefox relies on your Windows 7 settings for anti-aliasing.
Did the font quality change suddenly and, if so, can you associate it with any Firefox or Windows updates? Or graphics card driver updates?
This site uses a font named Open Sans which is downloaded. If Firefox isn't able to download the font, it will substitute something it believes is similar. Perhaps you are getting a terrible substitution??
