Why different display fonts?

When I receive emails from different people the font sizes used to display them are quite variable. What sets the display font size? My understanding is that it is not the sender's email program, and if that is correct, it must be mine. So why the differences?

Some messages display a small font size and some do not. Others are italic (which I presume the originator intended), most are not. One I receive that has a small font size is displayed in normal font size on the sender's (PC) computer. If I use Thunderbird for the email program (using Original HTML for the display setting) it displays these emails as normal size.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

  • Why aren't fonts displaying properly in documents?

    When I open documents in Word for Mac11 the fonts do not display until I select all the text and change the font.  In pages, Arial does not display properly and I always have to change it to Arial Unicode.  Does anyone know solution(s)?

    Now that explanation is different to the first. We assumed because this is a Pages forum, it was a Pages issue.
    You appear to have PC users sending you documents from older systems using a different Arial font. It may be as subtle as a difference in name.
    Word unfortunately installs its own set of fonts, some with very similar names but different formats. Fonts come in a wide variety of formats and not all are Unicode which is a standardised method of addressing all the possible characters of all the possible languages of the world.
    There are also some formats such as PC Type 1 PostScript fonts that do not translate at all to OSX. OSX is pretty tolerant and flexible but it does use its own methods of displaying and setting fonts. Microsoft has its own methods. Whilst there is considerable overlap it is not perfect.
    TextEdit has better compatibility with Word, have you tried opening the Word documents there to see what happens? Also if Pages reports a missing font and you have to replace it, take careful note of the missing font name and see if you can locate it on your system and possibly open it with Font Book.

  • Different display page layout in Display Layout mode and in Preview mode

    Hi everyone,
    can anybody help me to understand why it is different display page layout in
    Display Layout mode:
    I have 2 collumns
    and in Preview mode:
    I have only one column
    is there some option that I didn"t check in layout page properties?

    The only thing you can try, is to have a defined number of lines, where the last line only consists of a few words. That may(!) give enough room for different browser rendering. But there is definitely no guarantee.
    You may as well force the text frame to be converted to an image (Place one single character – point, space – out of a system font. This will force Muse to convert the text into an image – thus preventing txt reflow)

  • TTF and OTF versions of SourceSansPro are differently displayed in Swing (Nimbus L&F)

    Can you confirm this?
    I am using Java SE 7 U 25 on Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    When I switch between the otf and the ttf version of the same font (Source Sand Pro by Adobe) then I see some differences (see the space above the "O")
    But why? Is this a bug? My Java app uses the Swing L&F Nimbus
    https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/issues/32
    java - TTF and OTF versions of SourceSansPro are differently displayed in Swing (Nimbus L&F) - Stack Overflow

    I know. But I have tried it also with another font - same problem
    Take a look at https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/issues/32#issuecomment-23402790
    There is indeed a bug with the display of ttf/otf fonts in Java / Swing

  • No virtual desktops in Win10 (please fix)?: Dangerous game promoting app switching on different displays as virtual desktops

    Seems virtual desktops are overpromoted - and in fact not about virtual desktops (changing content on the desktops). The socalled virtual desktops are right now
    no more than app switching on different displays.
    Dangerous game again from Microsoft promoting things as something they are not.
    Virtual desktops are already a well-defined concept - and people will expect the desktop to be able to change content (be dynamic) ... the data and launching programs for documents, different backgrounds.
    ... but as others may already have stated in other threads: (Right now) Windows 10 does not contain virtual desktops/displays/screens. Not at all.
    A skeptical hypothesis - hopefully it is not so, and we will be able to work with data in a valuable way. The data is on the desktop anyway today - so why not make it real virtual desktops? I simply do not understand the decision.
    So here comes the skeptical hypothesis - it's not a Steve thing. It's Microsoft still looking for that next revamped business model to finance their future.
    So the freak kind of virtual desktops (virtual desktops in Win10 a lie?) will disappoint - have already begun to do so - and seems Microsoft is just taken up with inserting an additional intermediary step towards relaunching the appstore and hiding
    all the user data in cloud again. Really, hiding the difference between data availability - not making the cloud something MORE but making the local system something LESS. The NEXT BIG thing? So we're going to loose file system, folders and the general ability
    to form concepts of our own - and get a freak system? The NEXT BIG thing - data integration? Because data was hidden away now. Also in local systems. Artificially creating new problems - rather than solving new interesting ones?
    We need to able to pin the data onto the display whether desktop, start screen, what ever. It's also on the feature requests. Desktops/Start Screen/Original displays for workflows/whatever actual starting points on login ... needs to have
    more links than application from appstores and application containers linked to them.
    If any more app (read: not cloud, data) but appstore, appstore, appstore
    application containers hiding the data away comes into the UI I am going with Linux. I am that close ...

    A better name would be Virtual Display Layouts ... Virtual Screens ... Virtual Start Screens (please let us be able to pin files/folders to the Start Screen, a requested voted for feature for Windows 10).
    You see, go back and read the topics for Windows 8 ... you will learn the Start Screen is/was the new desktop - and should have been made virtual.
    So please get your act together and stop confusing everything ... and make on coherent system. Drop the Start Screen - and go with the virtual desktop
    (put the Start Screen technology into the virtual desktop - and let users pin folders and files there as requested ... both local and in the cloud)

  • Firefox not displaying fonts and sizes properly

    In firefox the fonts are not displaying properly they are either bold or small and bold some text is displayed normally but most is not most is either really small or bold. This is also the case for IE, im on windows 7 running latest versions. However Chrome, Opera and Safari all display correct fonts and sizes it is just firefox and IE that are affected. And yes everything from font size to page size is at default so please dont reply with zoom in and out thanks.

    Hey thanks for the reply. Not sure which one of these worked nothing changed until I restarted firefox.
    You can try different default fonts.

    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Display font problem after synchronization

    On my handheld device, i have both Chinese and French appointment. When I did a hot sync. to my new netbook with window 7 Starter and Palm Desktop by Access, v6.2.2. All the Chinese font become "?" and all the French accent, ie "ç" and "é" became "?".
    Is there a way to change the font setting on Palm Desktop by Access?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    I figured out the problem. Mavericks comes with Fontcase. I had dumped Fontcase long ago and went to a different font management program. The conflict was between those two programs. I had to get rid of my third party progam to make the display font in any browser and some other programs to work correctly. 

  • Error in displaying fonts when framemaker file is converted into PDF

    I have used HELVETICA NEAUE font in my FM files. When I save these files as PDF, the font displayed in PDF is ARIAL. Although I have HELVETICA NEAUE font in our OS (Control Panel>Fonts), why the wront font is displayed in PDF?

    It sounds like Distiller does not know where the Helvetica Neue font is located. In Distiller, check the font locations in Settings > Font Locations.

  • Display font changes

    It may be coincidence, may be not.But since about the time of the update to ff22I have been having a small problem with a page display.
    I automatically "save page as" with the web page html only save setting each night. When I load the saved page, the font initially displays correctly but after loading, it changes to a different and much smaller font from the original display. It seems to do this on several different machines so I was wondering if it may have to do with the update.
    The page is http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-dividends.html?mod=topnav_2_3000#dividendsB

    Saving it as "webpage complete" seems to load correctly, however it does generate a few errors about some *.js files not being found.
    "C:\temp\Display font changes _ Firefox Support Forum _ Mozilla Support_files\ga.js could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
    Try again later, or contact the server administrator."

  • My iPad is showing different display in Mail after new update .

    Why is my iPad showing a different display in mail . I cannot move the last mail viewed......hate it...

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (In a hotel, you can't do this.)
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

  • JFileChooser - Changing Display Font

    Hi all
    Is there a very simple way to change the JFileChooser's display font from the default to say ("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 11) without using a whole new look and feel?. I was contemplating the putClientProperty method but I've searched and can't seem to find any examples of how to use it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    ICE

    You should define "display font" since that is not a Java term. If you want to change all the fonts, try the
    following (one version also changes the title bar's font).
    You could easily tweak this code to differential between different components -- say give JButtons a different font).
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class OptionPaneExample {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            exampleWithFontChange();
            exampleWithFontChangeInTitleBar();
            System.exit(0);
        static void exampleWithFontChange() {
            Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 11);
            JFileChooser x = new JFileChooser();
            recursivelySetFonts(x, font);
            x.showOpenDialog(null);
        static void exampleWithFontChangeInTitleBar() {
            final Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 11);
            JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); //optional
            JFileChooser x = new JFileChooser() {
                protected JDialog createDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException {
                    JDialog dialog = super.createDialog(parent);
                    recursivelySetFonts(dialog, font);
                    return dialog;
            x.showOpenDialog(null);
        public static void recursivelySetFonts(Component comp, Font font) {
            comp.setFont(font);
            if (comp instanceof Container) {
                Container cont = (Container) comp;
                for(int j=0, ub=cont.getComponentCount(); j<ub; ++j)
                    recursivelySetFonts(cont.getComponent(j), font);
    }

  • How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

    Hi champs,
    Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
    If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
    If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.
