Why do my fonts turn out different when published?

On one of my pages I have the font handwriting dakota and when I view it on the internet it is arial. What do I do?

Hi David - when publishing a website on the internet you need to use 'standard' web fonts.
This is because the fonts are not 'embedded' in your webpages - the people viewing your website need to have the same font(s) installed on their computer as the ones you have used in your website for it to appear the same. If you use a non-standard font (such as Dakota) they will more than likely not have it installed on their machine and will see a substitute font instead (e.g. Arial, or Times).
'Standard' fonts are those common fonts which come installed as part of the operating system, be it Mac OS or Windows, and the list is fairly limited. Here's a link to a handy page listing them.
If using a non-standard font is crucial to the design of your website, then you need firstly to save the text in your particular font as an image file e.g .gif or .jpg, and then insert that image into the layout of your page as necessary - this way anybody's web browser around the world is simply displaying an image file and it doesn't matter at all whether they have the font installed on their machine or not.
Hope this helps?

Question - Y do my fonts look slightly different when publish site to .mac?

I've created a website on iWeb but when i publish it and view it in safari the fonts look slightly different. It's hard to explain but they basically just look worse. Can anyone let me know why this might be and how i could fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iWeb.plist.
Restart your Mac, launch iWeb and republish.
You should really convert any text done in "copperplate" to an image. Otherwise it will be converted to an (ugly) alternative on any computer that doesn't have this font installed.

You can type German characters using a UK keyboard by using the special characters palette:

Alternatively (and a LOT more expensively) invest in a German keyboard http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC184D/B/apple-wireless-keyboard and switch to the German settings under keyboard in System Preferences.

Infocube turned out differently from PSA

Hi,
In BI 7.0, if i have confirmed that the content of PSA is what i expected, but the content in the fact table of the infocube turned out differently. How do I rectify the mistakes? It should be something to do with the transfer or update rules, but how do i check those?
Thanks

Hi Lip,
If you feel that data in Cube is different from what is there in the PSA, then it could be that there are some routines written in the Transformations.
When you are checking for Data Reconciliation, you can proceed as follows.
Check for the Data in the Source System --> RSA3,
Check the Data in PSA in BW(SAP BI)
Check the Data in the InfoCube.
For test purposes you can take a few records and check if any Transformations are taking place and after that do the reconciliation.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tom.

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics have pixelated (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when i open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persists after updating software.

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics in my disk drive have 'dotted' (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when I open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persisted even after updating to the latest software. I proceeded to upgrade to 10.8 and updated the latest software thinking that this might resolve the problem but still stays the same way as it was. Could it be the Adobe flash player that is causing this problem? Please help.

Why do my movies come out sideways when I transfer them from my iPhone to my PC, no matter which way I hold my iPhone when I record the video? How do I fix it?

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

Static text in textfields renders differently when published in CS4/CS5

Hi
I am experiencing an issue where legacy files I created in Flash CS4 look different when published in CS5. Fonts are rendered differently. I have noticed it so far on DIN and Goudy Modern. The output when published in is CS5 is markedly different than the output when published in CS4.
Can anyone offer any pointers on how to think about, deal with, avoid etc.
Many thanks.
Mike
UPDATE
A little more logic to add.
It seems to be opening the file in CS5 changes the fonts somehow. CS4 files that I have not opened in CS5 publish as I would expect in CS4. CS4 files that I have opened in CS5 publish differently whether then published in CS5 or CS4. On Goudy for example. In CS5 adding .5 to the character spacing and 3.5 (not 2) to the line spacing makes the font render similarly in CS5 as it did in CS4 at 0 character spacing and 2 on the line height.

Yes. It's static. I recreated the text and now it works. Weird.
Thank you for your reply and time.

Font is different when published

I published my site. I didn't like the bold look of some of the fonts so I changed the font and made a couple of other changes. The site then looked the way I wanted before re-publishing publishing.
I then re-published but the fonts are still look bold when I log on to the site. How can I correct this?

Some of those tips really helped - especially turning the text into a graphic - but how do you do it on blog summaries/Album names or on navigation titles? (put the 5% shadow on?). I love iweb but was very dissapointed with the fonts turning to bold versions. I have been a grpahic designer for years and am glad I could do web stuff because of iweb - so a small thing like it looking BOLD when published bummed me out! Anyone know how to edit/add shadow to the aforementioned elements? Thanks in advance....

HT201317 Why do my photos turn upside down when I send them as an email? Garry

Why do my photos come out upside down when I send them via email?
Garry

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why does SL automattically turn back on when I shut down?

Why does my mac mini automatically restart when I shut down? I shut down via the normal methods (apple menu, Shut down...) and as the shut down process finishes the computer automatically restarts and goes to the log in screen, If I shut down via the log in screen it turn's off. What gives?
Shouldn't it just shut down when I ask it to and not return me to the log in interface ?
Help please.Thanks all.

Seems that some process is calling it back.

Probably a process in your account and not systemwide.
Go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. BShutdown and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Test.
EDIT: Also, unmount & disconnect all peripherals except Apple keyboard & mouse.

Why does the screen turn back on when the brightness is turned down?

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8), and just recently last week when i turn the brightness down to black, after a couple minutes later the screen turns back on. Then when i touch the trackpad then it goes back to black. Is there any way where i can change this setting??? because this didn't happen before and now it just constantly occurs.

If it is still acting up after a restore, you more than likely nave a hardware issue.
