Weird previews in fontbook

The preview window in FontBook shows both Helvetica and Times in the greek alphabet. My system language is set to English & all other fonts preview correctly. Both are dfonts installed in System/Library/Fonts. The fonts actually work ok in the roman alphabet when selected in any app.
Any ideas how to correct?

Weird preview issue

Using LiveCycle Designer ES and Reader 9.
Very simple form but the form fields aren't functional when previewed in LC Designer. They work fine in Reader or Acrobat but not in preview......
Thanks
Mike

Have a look at the File/Form Properties/Preview tab and see if your preview type is set to interactive form.

Weird previewing in safari

when i preview 1 page in safari, the image looks normal. when i do a full preview in safari with all pages. some of the elements look strange. why would this happen?

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
2. There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.
Repairing permissions is a waste of time.

Weird behaviour in the Fontbook display pane

I have just been checking through some font conflicts using FontBook. All have resolved successfully, but I have noticed weird behaviour involving four or five fonts. Some of them show up as all-Cyrillic faces (Arno Pro), or all-Hebrew faces (Stone Sans) or all-Arabic faces (Balzano) in the display pane, yet print perfectly as Western characters when used in any program (Pages, Word, Bean, FCE, Keynote etc).
It's not actually causing any problem, I suppose, apart from a weird representation in Fontbook. I have tried deactivating and reactivating these fonts. I have tried quitting and restarting Fontbook. I have even tried restarting the computer. The Cyrillics, Hebrews and Arabics keep coming back.
Is this a known Fontbook bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you, Kappy and Tom:
I tried the Preview Repertoire command and it showed that the fonts did, indeed, have the full Latin complement of characters. It's just that only the Cyrillic/Hebrew/Arabic/Gujarati/Mandarin selections are showing up in some fonts' preview panes: particularly those fonts with the suffix "Pro" in the title (Myriad Pro, and so on).
How strange.

Landscape after portrait: preview is blurry

I noticed a weird preview bug in Lightroom 4.3 under Windows 7.
In Library mode, preview window set for single large preview:
1. Hit a portrait-oriented photo in the filmstrip below. The photo is previewed properly (sharply)
2. Hit a landscape-oriented photo in the filmstrip below. The photo preview is blurry
3. Hit another landscape-oriented photo in the filmstrip below. The photo is previewed sharply
4. Hit the landscape-oriented photo from step 2 again. The photo is previewed sharply
Every time I hit a landscape-oriented photo immediately after a portrait-oriented photo, the photo is previewed blurry. But if the same landscape-oriented photo is previewed immediately after another landscape-oriented photo, then everything is fine.
In other words, previewing a portrait-oriented photo screws up the preview for the next landscape-oriented photo. It looks like not every portrait-oriented photo has this effect. But the ones that do have this effect consistently in 100% cases.
I read the list of fixes in the upcoming 4.4 version and they mention the fix for blurry previews on Mac only. I wonder if this is somehow related. Hopefully they'll fix this one as well.

Here's a sequence of screenshots that demonstrate the problem. (I hope they will come throigh well enough to demonstrate the effect)
1. This is the first preview of a portrait-oriented image. Preview mode is set to FIT. The preview is sharp. (In all screenshots I will use three images which can be seen here selected in the filmstrip.)
2. Now I switch to a landscape-oriented image. The preview is blurry. This is the problem in question.
3. Now I switch to another landscape-oriented image. The preview is sharp
4. And now I shitch back to the image from step 2. The preview is now sharp
So, the issue here is demonstrated by the difference between previews in steps 2 and 4, even though the same image is being previewed in both cases. In order to see the difference one needs to open full-resolution screenshots.
P.S. I see that the forum engine resized my images (originally 1920 x 1200), but the difference in the detail in the piece of wood is still noticeable. Here's 100% crops from 2nd and 4th screenshots

Mavericks Finder Raw File Preview Error

Me and my friends are having some issues with the "Finder Space Bar Preview" with RAW files. Some How it's showing an weird preview as if it's and broken file, but some times it come back to normal. This there anyone else having an same issue?

Since upgrading to from Lion to Mavericks 10.9.1 I have this problem, but worse. Attempts to use Preview on .rw2 (Panasonic GX7 RAW) cause massive screen corruption and virtual system hang, requiring a reboot.
Other threads may be talking about same problem, a bug in Mavericks Preview app.

Same photo keeps opening whenever I open Preview

OK, here's a weird one. Whenever I double-click on an icon of a photo (any photo), the SAME photo (of my family at Old Faithful!) opens up in Preview and THEN the one I clicked on opens up. The Old Faithful photo says it's "locked" even though, when I "get info" on the photo, it is NOT locked!
Help! What can I do to stop this weird Preview behavior! (I don't really want to delete this photo, but I will if that's the only way out of this . . .)
Thank you.

Oh, I see. It's the "Resume" feature of Lion (which seems to be a pain in all apps). If you "close window" before quitting Preview, it stops happening. Great! A couple of additional steps to get to a clean slate!

Canvas all white but export works - channel issue?

Hi There,
I have a weird preview issue where the canvas is completely blank. If I do a RAM preview I see the animation in the little window but still get a blank white screen when I play.
However, I can export the full movie and play it in Quicktime no problems. At first I thought it was the Channel Selector menu but it's set to "Color" - and I've tried everything in the menu.
It looks to be some sort of channel issue to me as the media previews are either all white or I can see alpha previews in red.
Any suggestions would be most welcome - obviously I tripped a preview mode?
Cheers
Ben

Sorry, got tied up with some other work but have just tried to start a new project and the same thing - all white?
Here is a link to a brand new test file: http://files.me.com/ben.sciascia/ap5qom
Note: I trashed the Motion prefs before creating this file - basically every file I edit and create is almost all white. It might also take a few seconds for it to turn white.
For the life of me I can't think what the heck is going on - it looks like a weird blend mode to me.

Weird squiggles showing up in preview/published version but not on the stage

When I preview or publish my animation, these weird lines show up that aren't on the stage. There's no hidden layers, and I can't figure out how to stop them from appearing. I'm using CS5 on Windows 7
The squiggles are near "Watt"-
But they don't show up-
Any help would be appreciated!

It doesn't look like squiggles/noise, but moreso like pieces of drawings that are not attached to anything. Try to narrow down the location of the extra artwork, by changing one layer at a time to be a guide layer. As son as you see them disappear you should know which layer to focus your attention on.

Weird characters displayed on page instead of file download/preview

Hi everyone,
I have a download file procedure as per the instructions on the download.oracle.com page
The download of the files worked just fine (or better say they were previewed in a new page) but recently a new schema has been added to the workspace so we can start the testings from the scratch.
I modified the schema name where needed, but not the download page acts kinda weird, as instead of the file preview, I get a long page full of:
��JFIF�,,��&�Exif��MM�*��b��j(��1��r2��i��-��'�-��'Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows�2008:07:28 16:41:20��]��&(��.��%��H��H��JFIF��H�H��Adobe_CM�
The issue is that if I switch back to the old schema, the result is the same. So, anyone has any idea of what can cause this?
Thank you
Regards
Andrea

Thanks!
PS: Some updates...I tried it in IE as well (I use FF when working with applications) and funny enough the photos and documents get displayed/the download box shows up.
But, all the files have the name f. f.pdf, f.jpeg etc
I tried calling the dl_image procedure in the url (currently I call a new page where I pass the file id to an application id and then I call the above procedure in a pl/sql block):
http://www.host/pls/dad/schema.dl_file?p_fileid=1
And the name seems ok. I don't think it's a good idea to put the procedure name in the link, is it?

Weird dots in QuickTime and Preview. Possibly ColoeSync Need Help

I have had for some time now these weird spots in QuickTime and Preview files when viewing them only. They only appear when looking at them with these apps. Viewing pictures in PhotoShop don't recreate the problem. I suspect it's related to ColorSync, but I have no idea what to try. I removed the profiles from My Drive/Library/ColorSync/Profiles and rebooted. The problem is still there.
Printing or viewing these files in other apps don't exhibit the problem so the files are fine. It's just displaying them with QuickTime & Preview that cause problems.
I'm so sick of this and would really like to get it fixed. Could anyone please offer a suggestion? I'd be extremely appreciative. Thanks in advance!
Oh yeah, You can download a small screenshot to actually see it here:

It was the video card.

Weird colours with QuickTime sources, broken preview renders & crash at exit (CS4)

Hi erveryone,
I have a strange problem in Premiere Pro CS4: Allmost all QuickTime MOV that I put in the timeline show weird, broken colours. At first I thought this was a problem with a specific codec, but I have now tried several codecs and pretty much every one shows up equally broken. The only codec that seems to work fine is the one that my Canon EOS 550D produces (1080p, H.264 I believe), but that one does not play smoothly (not that I would expect it to do on my machine). Strangely, H.264 in lower resolutions fails again. Other containers seem to be unaffected. Here is a screenshot of the effect:
Also, my preview renders (when rendering the effecs on the timeline) are similarly broken. They behave a bit erratically. Sometimes they are just black, showing nothing and sometimes they show a still frame of one of the previously viewed videos. Colours are messed up in a similar way, so I suspect a connection. Here is the same clip from the screenshow above, preview-rendered:
Also, upon exiting Premiere, it usually crashes. This is less of a problem, but still very weird behaviour.
Any ideas how I could solve this?
Infos about my system which might be of relevance:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (education version)
Windows Vista 32bit (SP2, all current updates installed)
4GB RAM
Intel Core2 Duo
ATI X1300 Pro 256MB (with newest available driver)
QuickTime 7.6.6
The system has been freshly installed (from factory image - hence the older OS) so no malware or anything similar should mess anything up. Only software installed except the Creative Suite is Google Chrome.
On my laptop (Win7 64bit, Intel i5, no separate graphics card, same QT version) none of these problems appear.
Greetings,
Florian

I think I found the solution. Some further digging revealed that I did not have as previously assumed the latest driver for my graphics card installed. I was mislead because the manufacturer (Dell) did provide some updates, but not all of them (none in the past two years to be exact). I grabbed the newest driver kit from the ATI website and installed it. Strangely, the installer produced several errors and I get another error message at startup, but I think only the control software was affected and not the driver itself.
After some first tests, QuickTime movies behave as expected, the preview renders are working again and the crashes on exit are also gone. Yay!
Strange how much trouble a driver which is otherwise working perfectly can cause.

Mission Control/Dash Board are freeze then cause logout. Picture preview with a lot of Weird Pixel (Not dead pixel).

i cannot use my mission control, laging and freeze, then cuase the system logout. It is same as my DashBoard.

Weird... mini preview image

This is weird... suddenly in my iChat video preview, I can only get a postage stamp sized image. It's active, but small. With black borders filling the rest of the frame.
Anybody know what this could be?
I searched it and nothing came up. I've tried zapping the PRAM and a PMU reset.
I do have Chax and ChatFX installed. But this worked before and suddenly has stopped, even though I'm not aware of any changes. All software updates are current too.
The timing is terrible... we just had a baby and the grandparents are overseas and desperate for a live introduction!

It gets weirder yet...
This is a separate iSight, used with an Alubook.
Yet, on this same machine, I've tested it with Photobooth and other video programs on my computer. It's situation normal. Works fine. The green light on the camera goes on, the image is full sized, and it takes a decent picture.
But with iChatAV, either in the video preview window from the menu or from just clicking on the video icon, no go.
What's more, when I open iChat with the camera attached, I get no green light... even though my chat icon switches to video... and still, even after deleting plist files, the video image I see remains small.
One thing I did remember... between now and the last time I used the iSight (more than a week ago) I had installed Skype for video. Maybe I should delete that? I'll give it a try.
