Which fonts are installed with Adobe Flash CS3? Which fonts are installed with Illustrator CS3?

Which fonts are installed with Adobe Flash CS3? Which fonts are installed with Illustrator CS3?

Does this mean that if for example I purchase and install Adobe Flash CS3 it will install all the fonts listed under CS3 in this list: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/fonts-installed-by-adobes-creative-suite#CS3 ??
Thanks

[Solved] Which are really needed?

Hello all,
After spending some time with Crunchbang and minimal installations of Ubuntu, I'm thinking about trying out Arch once again - and staying this time, that is. I already managed to install and configure Arch twice before, so it's not that I'm unable to do so. I was just wondering, which of the daemons mentioned in the Beginners' Guide (alsa, network daemons, udev, hal etc) are really necessary? This time I want to keep everything as slick and clean as possible, so I'd like to know which daemons I can remove / don't add.
I only need/want the daemons that will give me, the reguler computer user, a workable environment. (Think like: network (wireless and wired, when wireless isn't available); automount of memory cards, USB sticks and external HDD's; sound; using a wireless USB mouse...)
Oh, almost forgot to mention: I'm using a laptop, if that matters. I hope I'm not asking something incredibly stupid or non-accomplish-able. Thanks in advance!

What exactly does crond do? When googling, I only find cron. Is it the same?
Also, when I install a network manager, wicd for example, and set it to automatically connect with my network, do I need the network daemon?

Which fonts are in the Adobe 'Font Folio Select' and can be embedded in software and apps for distri

Hi,
I need to select a few fonts for our client to choose from that can be legally embedded into their software for distribution.
After reading this article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2011/06/06/fonts-and-where-can-i-use-them/
it sounds like there is an Adobe 'Font Folio Select' that contains fonts we can use but I can't find any information about where to get hold of it.
I have spent hours hunting for fonts we can legally use and read lots of EULAs and still have no idea what fonts are available to developers!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Type Team.
While the James Lockman blog you referred to is correct that our product, Font Folio Select, contains only fonts that we control and for which we can offer the broadest rights, it is mistaken in its description of how it is offered. Font Folio Select is actually a collection of fonts which we offer for server usage - for customers who need fonts for automated printing services, or for web based services which offer a font selection. I'm very sorry for the misinformation.
Font licensing for applications is something for which we can provide you a direct quote. If you would like to email me directly at the address listed below, I can get you in touch with a sales associate who can help you. Additionally, if you provide me with a list of fonts you are interested in licensing, if there are fonts which are not ours, I can also provide you with foundry contact information so you can reach out to them directly.

Which fonts are monospaced?

I have a nice list of font names returned from GraphicsEnvironment's getAvailableFontFamilyNames() method.
I want to allow my app's user to pick their favorite, but the app needs a monospaced font so I only want to present those which are monospaced. How do I tell which ones are monospaced? I can guess those ending "mono" but it's not very scientific and I'd miss Courier New.

What DB roles are REALLY needed by the applications?

During our upgrade, the security / database guys at my office want me to lockdown the db accounts for portal, publisher, collab, anaytics, etc (also services, notification, security...all the alui related databases). They say that dbo is too privileged and I need to figure out just what the applications need and give them access.
My question is...what does each account REALLY need? Some accounts create tables (analytics). Is it sufficient for those accounts to just be given CREATE TABLE privileges? Can every other account just be given normal CRUD access?

fair enough.
Ali, where did you find the SQL scripts for Collab? Is it someplace I can view easily?
One comment would be that of course it would be fine for these accounts to have DBO during upgrades, etc, if that is the only time when these 'creating views, indexes, and SP's' are used...

What fonts are absolutely needed by the 10.5 system? (and apps)

I like to keep only 10-12 fonts active. I noticed that Leopard installed 60 or so fonts. The last time I pruned out a handful of fonts, Photoshop menus went funky.
I had to piece back several at a time to find the one it wanted...
Hoping there is some kind of list.
Thanks,!

Aloha, I'd like this info also. Since upgrading to Leopard when I ran validate all fonts, quite a few of my fonts say "problems found, use with caution". These are the same fonts that were on Tiger which never gave any indication of problems. Does anyone know if Leopard installed a lot of new or different fonts? I know fonts can cause problems on any OS, so this is a concern.

Which configurations are really important for video editing?

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie looking for the best compromise budget Mac for AVCHD 1080p video editing with Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere CS6 and Adobe Aftereffects. The storage space is not important as I'm planning to keep all the files on a Thunderbolt-connected EHD (any comments on this?).
Currently, I'm working on a iMac 27'' 3.4GHz i7 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675 MX 1024 MB and would like to get a personal machine that also works (as) smooth, but for a smaller budget. These are the options I currently have:
1. Mac mini (late 2012) MD387xx/A
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
16GB DDR3 SDRAM
Intel HD 4000
500 GB HD
Thunderbolt USB 3
802.11n WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0
2. iMac 27'' (mid 2011)
2.7GHZ Intel Core i5
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
1TB HDD
3. MacBook Pro 17'' (early 2011)
2.3GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
500 GB SATA Storage
How important is the duo- or quad-core?
Which graphic card would be the best suited for video editing and graphics on FCPX/AfterEffects?
Which one would you go for if looking for a stable, strong performance for up to 5 years?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Find out which java files really needed to compile

Hi,
I wan't to create WebStart jar files from a big library. Most times I only need a part of the lib (e.g. 30%). It is overhead to complie and pack the hole library.
I need a tool (favor for ant) - I can give a hand full of "initial java files" and it give me back a list of java files I have to compile and pack to run without ClassNotFound Exception.
This expects dynamic class loading.
Have you the same problem or solved this problem?
Using ant it is only possible to select a bundle of java classes and it is comiling exactly this classes :-/

You could use the verbose option while compiling. It will list the dependent source files that are required during compilation.
For command line, javac ... -verbose
From ant, you could specify verbose="yes" withing the <javac> task. :)

Which exceptions are really catchable?

Hi,
In the documentation, following exception groups are listed:
u2022 Execution errors (1001)
u2022 Database access errors (1002)
u2022 Database connection errors (1003)
u2022 Flat file processing errors (1004)
u2022 File access errors (1005)
u2022 Repository access errors (1006)
u2022 SAP system errors (1007)
u2022 System resource exception (1008)
u2022 SAP BW execution errors (1009)
u2022 XML processing errors (1010)
u2022 COBOL copybook errors (1011)
u2022 Excel book errors (1012)
u2022 Data Quality transform errors (1013)
from this list, I understand that the number in parathesis represent a group of numbers in a certain range.
Yet, I am puzzled by the numbers that are thrown and catched or not by Data Services at runtime.
Example 1
In a try/catch, I have selected ALL errors to be catchable. The script in the catch editor is printing the error number and message. I have an audit rule which fails. The number of the message is NOT within the groups mentioned above, yet it is catched. What is the meaning of those numbers exactly? The error in this example is RUN-050450 which seems to cover the audit rule failure. Why is this catch but not in the groups above? Unless those numbers mean something else?
Example 2
In a try/catch, I have selected ALL errors to be catchable. In this, there is an issue with the mail_to function. The job does log an error BUT it is not catched by the try/catch even though the ALL errors is set. Why are there some errors that the job files but are not catchable?
Thanks a lot & Best Regards
Isabelle

Thanks for sharing your experience. Indeed, the messages handling is not so obvious in Data Services.
2 other things I would like to point out:
- The Reference Documentation, it is mentioned under the Error Log section that If the error log is empty (that is, the button is dimmed), the job completed successfully. This doesn't seem true in fact. I have example where the job log is not empty and the job trace last statement is Job <job_name> is completed successfully. It is not clear what is the intend exactly.
- The Reference Documentation, also have a table of errors which has not relation with the catchable errors mentioned in Designer Documentation under section Categories of available exceptions. Yet, those 2 topics are related. Once again, it is not clear how the catchable exceptions are related to the error numbers.
Any hints to understand the concepts and usage is appreciated.

Which alsa modules do I really need?

Hi everyone,
I set up sound on a very old PC. At first I set module autoloading in rc.conf, in order to check which sound modules my hardware need. I then realized it could take up to 20 seconds to load udev events at boot time, so I put my sound modules in rc.conf and disabled module autoloading. It brought udev time down to 5 seconds.
I wonder if I can bring it to an even lower value. I suspect some of my sound modules aren't really needed. I'd appreciate some advices to identify which modules are needed, and which are not.

thx

Thanks! I removed pcspkr already. So I have to check which modules are really dedicated to my audio hardware. I suspect none of the 3 you mention are actually needed. I guess I'll have to use lshwd or such.
Is OSSv4 lighter than ALSA. I've never used it before, and I don't really care about audio quality (sound comes out from crappy monitor speakers...).

Which Adobe fonts are required by Creative Cloud

We try to keep our font libraries to a minimum. Which Adobe fonts installed with Creative Cloud are absolutely necessary for Creative Cloud to function properly? I've already determined that Hobo Std must be installed for Bridge to work properly. Anyone know of a listing of required fonts? All I can find is which fonts are added at installation, but I'm pretty sure they are not all necessary. Thanks!

Hi Bernst,

[SOLVED] Gnome & Firefox: Fonts are too small

Hi,
I am really used to using firefox in Windows XP where fonts are readable out-of-the-box. By this I mean I didn't have to fiddle with firefox when I installed it, the fonts looked great.
Now that I'm using Gnome, I see that firefox's fonts are really too small. The glyphs are smashed together too. How can I get the fonts to look decent in firefox? I'm not sure if this is an OS-level setting or a firefox-level setting.

[Solved, install dejavu font] Libre Office fonts are rendered as boxes

Been a while since I've posted and thank you in advance for any help offered.
My issue is pretty straight forward: all my menus and fonts in Libre Office Writer show up as boxes instead of letters. I have searched the wiki and forums for a solution but most people who have this problem fix the issue by installing the right language pack.
As you can see below that isn't my issue:
local/libreoffice-common 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
common files for LibreOffice - a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites
local/libreoffice-en-US 4.1.4-3
English (US) language pack for LibreOffice
local/libreoffice-writer 4.1.4-3 (libreoffice)
Word Processor Application for LibreOffice.
I have no plug-ins installed apart from hunspell, mythes and hyphenation. I removed these packages but there was no change.
This machine is a Dell laptop with the Intel video chip and thus I have the correct driver installed and everything else works fine:
:root: ~ : pacman -Qs intel
local/intel-dri 10.0.2-1
Mesa drivers for Intel
local/xf86-video-intel 2.99.907-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
I tried nuking my Libre Office directory in my home directory but that yielded no change. My .gtk-* directories don't contain anything specific to LO.
These are the only fonts I've added to this install (thanks boohoomil) and are not customised in any way:
local/cairo-infinality-ultimate 1.12.16-3 (infinality-bundle)
Cairo vector graphics library with respect-fontconfig, expose and Ubuntu patches (infinality-bundle)
local/fontconfig-infinality-ultimate 2.11.0-15 (infinality-bundle)
A library for configuring and customizing font access (includes generic fontconfig package and ultimate settings by bohoomil).
local/freetype2-infinality-ultimate 2.5.2-3 (infinality-bundle)
TrueType font rendering library with Infinality patches and custom settings by bohoomil (infinality-bundle).
I have gone so far as to try snapwm and Xfce4 but there is no difference in the font rendering in LO.
I'm stymied about this because I have used this setup previously on this and two other machines. Any ideas?

Last edited by MoonSwan (2014-02-03 04:54:16)

I thought of that but, as I use the infinality-bundle, which fonts do I need to test this hypothesis? Or can you suggest one I can install from the official repos?
[edit] Just after posting this I remembered that LO, as noted on the wiki somewhere, suggest one install the ttf-dejavu font. After installing this font everything is now showing correctly.
@nomorewindows, Thank you very much! I feel a bit silly but I learned something from this and for that I grateful to you.

Which version are supported in HP QTP?

I read the following page. But it doesn't help me at all.

QTP supports AIR 2.0 with Flex SDK 3.x in ja_JP?
Is there a matrix of supported versions??

Thanks Tom for the helpful article link. Though where would one find a list of the iPad availabe fonts...?
From Apples own text...
Use fonts common to both the Mac and iPad platforms. Fonts that are not available on the iPad are replaced with the Helvetica font.
So does the iPad tell the user which fonts are "common" ???
Thanks again.
