Weird font spacing - help needed

Hi,
I've been struggling with this for a while so would appreciate any help, I imagine this is quite a common problem. Basically, I'm developing a website which has quite a complex architecture and will involve generating graphs/charts as png images on the fly, dependent on user input.
To do this we're running weblogic 6.1, jdk 1.3, solaris 8 and an application called netcharts server (which is the charting engine). When a user requests a chart, the charting engine takes the parameters, does its thing to bring back the data and calls a servlet which uses AWT to generate the png image.
On windows, everything is fine, the images look great. However, seeing as the solaris box is running remotely without a display we use xvfb (running on display :1) to simulate an X server. The problem is that the fonts on the generated graphs look very weird - they're not the fonts I expect, and the spacing is very irregular, making the charts look really bad.
Does anyone know how to configure either the fonts.properties or set up solaris properly so it outputs nice looking fonts? I dont know if theres any patches to fix this - if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!!

What have you done between when it worked fine and when it doesn't? Do you have the same system version on both machines? Have you done any regular maintenance of the computer? Have you tried deleting the Font cache? Onyx is a free application that you can use for maintenance.

Font.properties help needed

I have a USA client with several Reports that use fonts “OCR A Extended” and “Wingdings 3”. The OCR A Extended font is being used for a scanline by OCR scanners to call up invoices. They MUST use that font or the scanners don’t work. They are also using specific angled arrows from the Wingdings 3 font set. I can’t get either one to work in the Reports.
I have mapped both OCR A Extended and Wingdings 3 to dialoginput in the registry.dat file.
Getting the correct values into the font.properties file is the part that I’m having problems with. I’m trying to do this by following other examples I’ve seen, but I’m not hitting the correct combination.
I have added:
dialoginput.3=OCR A Extended,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.4=Wingdings 3,DEFAULT_CHARSET
1) Do I need to add a “NEED_COVERTED” to either one of those lines? I’m guessing no because this is plain Windows US/English, nothing foreign.
2) Do I have the proper _CHARSET for both of those lines?
I have also added:
filename.Wingdings_3=WINGDNG3.TTF
filename.OCR_A_Extended=OCRAEXT.TTF
3) Do I need to do that or should I take it out?
From what I’ve read, if I use a NEED_COVERTED then I also need a:
fontcharset.dialoginput.3=…..
fontcharset.dialoginput.4=…..
But I have NOOO clue what needs to follow the “=” sign.
It is mission critical that I get both of these working, especially the OCR A Extended font. I thank you in advance!

Very Weird Sleep Issues - Help Needed

Hey Everyone,
I've been having some really weird issues with my iMac G5 lately. It will randomly go into sleep mode. Sometimes it'll do it once every hour or so, other times it will do it every 30 seconds, there is no rhyme or reason to it. I've obviously checked all my settings and the iMac has recently been to the shop to fix something else, but this new problem has developed over the last few weeks. It never crashes or freezes, it will just go into sleep mode and when I press a button it will turn back on. Working with video, this becomes the slightest bit annoying while trying to edit and such. So any help would be greately appreciated. And just as a side note: the computer is all updated, I'm running 10.3.9, and I believe my iMac is first gen (I don't think its the power problem they speak of because mine was just in shop for that issue)
Thanks!

Johnny, a SMU reset usually solves a number of power issues including sleep issues. If you go to this link it will detail all power problems. In step # 10 it refers to the SMU reset button and this is what you want to reset. The main part of the link is for when your Imac won't turn on at all, good reading but the SMU reset will probably fix your problem. Let us know, Bob :~))

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

Font I.D. help needed

Can anyone here identify this font?
I need to match it for a client.
Many thanks,
-JM

It's ITC Busorama, available from either Bitstream or ITC.
WhatTheFont actually did a perfect job identifying it, once the image
was cleaned up by eliminating the connector between the H and O,
eliminating the white dots around the letters, and blowing it up to 3
times the size.

Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

Hi there,
Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
Oracle version 8.1.7.
I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Shankar

lol
your program is working just fine.
do you know what accept does? if not read below.
serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer

Hey Adobe team: Long-time user from when Photoshop was but a sprout. I recently upgraded from Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud and have run into a troubling problem. InDesign CC no longer packages fonts when I need to send a project to the printer. This meant that I had to completely redo a project on deadline for a problem that I’ve never had before. How is this possibly helping your users? And is there a solution in the works or do I need to cancel Creative Cloud and go back to CS6?

@OurPlace
First of all, you are not addressing any Adobe team. These forums are primarily supported by volunteers who are not Adobe employees and don't officially represent Adobe Technical Support.
That having been said ...
There was nothing done specifically with InDesign 9 or 10 (the CC and CC 2014) versions of InDesign to change or disable packaging of fonts when packaging a document. It should be absolutely no different from InDesign 8 (the CS6 version).
Troubleshooting hints:
(1)     Make sure you check the Copy Fonts (Except CJK and TypeKit) option in the package dialog.
(2)     Make sure that you are not using any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) complex fonts that we specifically will never put into a package.
(3)     TypeKit fonts won't package.
(4)     Make sure that your file system permissions are such that InDesign can create all the necessary directories and subdirectories for the packaging operation.
(5)     If on MacOS, exit InDesign and try forcing a clearing of your system font cache and then reboot.
(6)     Exit InDesign and then find and delete all files on your system with filenames of the form AdobeFnt##.lst where ## is a two digit number; don't delete any other files that start with AdobeFnt. Then reboot and restart InDesign.
(7)     Reset InDesign's preferences that may have become corrupted. For Windows, start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. For MacOS, while pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
One of these should either address or resolve your problem. Again, we at Adobe are not aware of any generic issue with packing fonts with InDesign.

Computer restarts when ipod is connected urgent help needed

alright this is weird, I've had my ipod for ages and suddenly I go to plug it in and the computer slows down really really really slow and eventually just turns it self off, restarts and then sits in a black screen. if I leave the ipod plugged into the computer and restart it again it just goes straight back to the black screen, but both my ipod and computer work fine when there not connected. i have the latest version of itunes which seemed to help the first time i tried it actually started to update the ipod but then guess what the computer has another heart attack. urgent help needed please!!!

if I leave the ipod plugged into the computer and restart it again it just goes straight back to the black screen
Given this, I'd put it down to a flaky power supply in the computer. Might want to try using another computer or replacing the PSU.

Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
That's one problem.
The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
Can anyone help ? Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Answering the questions :
- Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
- Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
- In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
With publishing :
- Please try to rename the image file and then relink
- If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
- Try again to publish
With e-mail from BC :
- Under preferences , please check the country selected.
- If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Indesign missing fonts, please help!

Hi!
i
I just switched from windows 8 to a mac mini. I had indesign CC trial on the PC and now that I switched to a mac fonts are missing n my document. Both versions of indesign were up to date. How do I get my fonts back please help. The font I really need is called "Onyx"
I dont know why the fonts were working on the PC using the same indesign trial but on the Mac i download the indesign trial the font is missing. Please help!!!!!!

On behalf of Adobe ...
Onyx is not a font provided by Adobe with InDesign or any of the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud offerings. It is installed on your Windows system when you install Microsoft Office.
Likewise, if you have licensed and Installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, Onyx is installed on your system.
If you have not licensed and installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, you can license the font at http://www.fonts.com/family/248141/onyx.

Installed new fonts, now Chrome has weird fonts instead of Times?

I installed some new fonts on my mac and now Google chrome has weird fonts (assumably apart of the new ones I installed) replacing the standard Times and other fonts on some occassions. I took some screen shots to demonstrate this:
Those are the two weird fonts. I'm not sure what they actually are called. I went into chrome and switched all of the font options to Times but it didn't change anything.
Please help because this is really quite annoying.

[Bug] Adobe Reader: weird fonts on Android 2.3.3

Hi,
each time I open a PDF on Android 2.3.3 (Sony Ericsson: Xperia Arc), the reader displays weird fonts throughout the document.
Here is a screenshot (a manual one, sorry):
The usual font is the one on the bottom (I'd say Times New Roman); however the reader displays another font on top of the image, one that doesn't appear when I read the file on a PC: on a PC the bottom font is used instead. This weird font's appearance seems to be quite random: as you can see it even happens within a paragraph.
How could I solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi again,
i'm not sure the PDF in itself will be able to help you, since the Reader does this on all the PDFs I have on my phone, and doesn't on a computer.
Anyway, here it is:

Hope this'll help you.

Very weird font problem

I have a very weird and annoying font problem with the left menu bar of iTunes 8.2(23)
Some but not all menu items are displayed like a mix of Hebrew and unprintable caracters.
But once the menu item is selected, the font is back to normal !
The weired thing is that TV Series and Shopping cart menu items are displayed (in French, because the interface is in French) as expected.
I don't know if it is related, but I have Russian-PC keyboard installed too, Adobe CS4 (which installed Adobe fonts) and my OS interface is in French.

How did you go about finding this Lucida Grande.ttf? I did a search and didn't find it. I have the same weird font thing in itunes. I recently installed a whack of fonts from another computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Weird font in some Gnome applications

I used to use KDE, and had installed the AUR oxygen-gtk package to give the GTK applications a KDE style. After a while, I decided to install Gnome and have since then removed KDE. However, the oxygen-gtk style gave some applications a KDE look, which looks ugly in Gnome, so I removed that package as well. However, now some applications get a very weird font. Can someone help me get the font to the same fonts used in GTK applications?
This screenshot explains what I'm talking about. Note the fonts in Chrome's bookmarks and the menu from Virtualbox, and compare it with the fonts used in Evolution:

Hi,
Follow the guide
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … e-shooting
It works. You must do the settings while the menus are in chaos characters. The following images show the places where you must modify the settings in OO.
Press OK if a step is complete. (OK is two "stars".)
For me, this fixed it and worked for libre as well.
