Why doesn't jre support some fonts?

Like Bright - it's a monospace font, I've installed this font, but I can't use it in jedit.
Why?

Frankly, applets are really Web 0.5+. Time to jump up a few versions
This is a case where a mobile app would work much better than a web app trying to be more than a stateless display.
There are professional trading (equity) apps out there that work on IOS devices (not too many, because unfortunately WallStree took a long detour through Dot Net gultch).
You might search "Reuters" or "Bloomberg" in the app store or try something else.

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash Player?
I recently traveled out of the country with a large group and we are sharing our photos on Snapfish and I need Adobe Flash Player to download them to my IPAD. Help!

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Why doesn't the PS CC font preview show font families any more? Now i have to scroll through 4,400 fonts every time!

You mean font previews themselves in the list? You can set the size and disable via Type > Font Preview Size.

Final Cut Express 4 - why doesn't it support HD?

I purchased a Canon G12 camera that shots HD video, and I purchased Final Cut Express 4. Unfortunately, after I ran into cropping problems while editing my first movie, I found out Final Cut Express 4 doesn't support the HD format. Discouraging. Why doesn't FCE4 support HD?

FCE certainly does support high def (HD) video.
The problem is that your Canon G12 shoots video as H.264 .mov files, which cannot be edited directly in FCE.
You need to convert the G12 videos to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit them in FCE. Download a copy of MPEG Streamclip (free) to do the conversion. Alternatively you could also use Clipwrap2 to convert your G12 videos.

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash player on the iPad? Very irritating!

Why doesn't Apple support Adobe Flash player on the iPad? Very irritating!

Look to the right under More Like This and you will see that you are beating a dead horse. Instead of doing a search for your issue you will be one of the obligatory 5 or 6 folks who ask this same inane question here every bloody day.
So there is you answer, just read a few of the links to the scores of other threads here on this very topic and you will have all of the answers. The primary one being that there is no Flash from Adobe for iOS devices. Never has been, and since Adobe gave up trying to make Flash that worked, likely never will be.

Why doesn't Microsoft support Helvetica and Times?

All Macintosh computers and other Apple Inc. products come with Helvetica and Times fonts
built-in by default, although Windows doesn't. Helvetica is probably, at least to my opinion, the best and finest among all Sans-Serif and other typefaces in the world, and there's no doubt that it's one of the most popular fonts and it suites almost all types
of design and typographic works. Although Arial is close enough to Helvetica, it's far inferior to the beauty and typographic natures of Helvetica. There are also a lot websites out there designed in Helvetica. So it should have been available to most computer
users in the world.
However, although being the manufacturer of the most popular OS in the world, Microsoft does not make Helvetica and Times available in their operating
system Windows by default, nor they do in Microsoft Office or other software or products they design. But it's not a big deal, since Helvetica is available to Windows users by purchase. Yet, even after purchasing Helvetica from a trusted source and installing
it on my PC, I find that my browsers, Microsoft Office and other programs either don't render it properly, or substitute it by Arial and Times with Times New Roman — which clearly states that Microsoft does not support these fonts. But my question is WHY?
System Specs:
HP G62-363TU Notebook PC
Windows® 8.1 Pro (x64)
Intel® Core™ i5
M 460 @2.53 Ghz
6.00 GB (5.80 GB usable) RAM
Is it a problem with my system or with the font file that I installed, or is it Microsoft? If it's Microsoft, I have no option but to switch to Mac.

Well since Microsoft would have to pay licensing costs for the use of Helvetica on every copy of Windows if they included it I imagine that's why it's not included. As for Times, Times New Roman has been included in Windows since day one, so I assume you're
referring to a different variant, in which case it's no doubt again down to licensing.
As for purchased Helvetica not loading, in the start menu search for "fonts" and view the list of installed fonts. Is Helvetica definitely listed there?

Why doesn't Quicktime Support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?

Last summer I bought a Mac Mini so I could use iMovie and iDVD to convert and edit my 20 year old VHS tapes of family events to DVDs. This Christmas I got a Samsung DVD Recorer-VCR unit that easily copies VHS to DVD in MPEG-2 format with AC3 sound.
So, I'm all set to use my Mac Mini and begin my family archives project - or so I thouhgt. I found that Quicktime and iMovie don't read MPEG-2!! Then I was relieved to find that there is a plug-in that works with Quicktime Pro that will read MPEG-2. I spent the $50 to download these 2 programs and sure enough Quikcktime Pro will now read the MPEG-2 files from my Samsung unit. However, there is no sound!!!
Is Apple purposely making it impossible to do what I'm trying to do?
Why doesn't Quicktime or iMovie support MPEG-2 with AC3 sound?
Is there some other sound format that is normally used with MPEG-2?
Why would someone create software that reads movie files but doesn'rt read the sound that goes with them?
If I can't hear my little girl sing on these movies, then this whole project is a big waste of time and money!!
I hope someone from Apple can give me some answers.
A frustrated father,
R. Leifield

FWIW, MPEG is a distribution format, not an editing format. The best way would be to convert VHS to DV, edit it in iMovie and burn THAT to DVDs.
Sure, MPEG is a nice compressed format taking much less space than DV but the compression takes away quality.
IMO the best approach with MPEG source would be to edit (yes, it CAN be edited) it with apps like MPEG Streamclip (very limited editing features) or Capty MPEG Edit EX (more features) and author the edited MPEGs via apps like Toast, DVDSP, Capty MPEG Edit, Sizzle etc. THEN you won't lose any quality (unless some of the GOPs have to be re-encoded, that is).
BTW, unlike QT Player, MPEG Streamclip can play also AC3 or PCM audio in MPEG files.

WebDB 2.2/RedHat 6.1. For God's sake why doesn't Oracle release some documentation??

Someone please tell me how to get past the
"Enter your Oracle database SYS user password and a TNS names alias" page. My password doesn't show up as ****'s or spaces. Do I have termcap problem here? I've tried different term types and none of the obvious ones help.
I enter change_on_install for the password and "oracle" (my SID) for the TNSNAMES alias. But I always get a "You entered an incorrect system password or an incorrect TNS names alias" error message. Which is it? Why doesn't it just say "Oracle doesn't work". Or "What you entered doesn't compute". Or "You f%$^ing dumb ass, don't you f$%^ing know anything about Oracle, you should have entered something else". These messages are equally as useful as the current response. Do I need to create a new TNS names alias? If so why? And where is the documentation on this?
I'm guessing that because Oracle released Webdb on Linux it does actually work and that someone, somewhere got it to work. Otherwise Oracle is no better than Microsucks in their support effort ("Well it works on my system, you must be doing something wrong").
Thanks for any help. I'd really like to use WebDB but if I have to spend any more than 2 days just to get it installed I might as well revert to Winblows NT and self installing, self configuring ZIP files or jump of the Brooklyn bridge and I'd rather do the later.
Bren.

I am a Product Manager for WebDB and I am concerned that you are having such a problematic experience.
Below I have pasted an installation note that is available on MetaLink, this should walk you through the process.
The reason your TNS connection is failing is because WebDB does not know where to connect to. WebDB uses 8.0.5 binaries and therefore cannot use the tnsnames.ora file in the 8i Oracle home. To get it to work you need to do one of two things, either copy the tnsnames.ora file from your 8i home to the new WebDB home you're about to create. Or create yourself an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that points to [8i home/network/admin]
Don't worry about not seeing asterisks as we don't display any, this is a 'feature' of the character based installer that we use.
With WebDB 3.0 we will not have this problem as we are using 8i binaries and libraries and we will install using the Oracle Universal Installer, not a character mode one.
Hope this helps.
PURPOSE
This document provides detailed installation notes for WebDB 2.2.0.0.4. It is
focused on installing WebDB for an 8.1.5 (8i) database. Since WebDB is based
off of the 8.0.5 binary and library files, it must be installed in a separate
ORACLE_HOME than 8.1.5.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This document is intended to guide you through every step of the WebDB
installation process against 8i to prevent the most common issues.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Create a new directory for the new WebDB ORACLE_HOME separate from the 8.1.5
database ORACLE_HOME.
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
You must ensure that all of the appropriate environment variables are set before
beginning the installation process. Unset any existing ORACLE environment
settings and only set the following:
ORACLE_HOME-->point this to the WebDB home
i.e. setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
SHLIB_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv SHLIB_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
LIBPATH (for AIX ONLY)-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
PATH-->append the following $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin/:$PATH
TNS_ADMIN-->point this to the database home/network/admin directory.
i.e. setenv TNS_ADMIN /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin
WV_GATEWAY_CFG-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app where
$ORACLE_HOME is the WebDB home
i.e. setenv WV_GATEWAY_CFG $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app
BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
From the unix prompt, cd to the staging area for your WebDB Media and go to the
orainst director.
i.e. cd /SD_CDROM/orainst/
Run the orainst for the Oracle Installer to begin.
i.e. ./orainst
1.)'Oracle WebDB 2.1 Installation Requirements' Select OK.
2.)'Environment Variable'
ORACLE_BASE - this should be set already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/
ORACLE_HOME - this should be set to the WeBDB home already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
Select OK.
3.)'Relink All Executables?' Select NO.
4.)'Software Asset Manager' - select Oracle WebDB 2.2.0.0.4 and Oracle WebDB
Listener 2.2.0.0.4. Select INSTALL.
5.)'WebDB Listener'
Hostname --> provide the fully qualified host.domain as registered with DNS
i.e. iprodhp2.us.oracle.com
Data Access --> You can name your database access descriptor anything you
would like but it is best if you take the default which is 'WebDB'
WebDB Schema --> This is the schema that all WebDB packages will be installed
under. It is recommended that you again take the default which is 'WEBDB'
Listener Port -- > Ensure that you choose a port that is not already in use.
Port 80 is the default http port. This port number can always be changed
later when you start the WebDB listener.
Select OK.
6.)'Choose the Database' - Select Oracle 8i and Select OK.
7.)Please provide the appropriate sys password and the TNSNAMES alias used to
connect to the 8.1.5 database.
8.)'WEBDB' --> Select the tablespaces you would like to install into.
Installation = WEBDB
Default = <USERS>
Temporary = <TEMP>
Document = <USERS>
Select OK.
9.)WebDB initial password is webdb --> Select OK.
10.)'Choose Language' --> English is automatically installed but you may choose
any additional languages. Select OK.
11.)Installation of the WebDB schema may take a while. You may think your
installer is hanging but in fact it is just installing a lot of information.
Depending on your machine's resources, the average time to complete this
task is usually around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
12.)'WebDB Install Complete' --> Select OK.
13.)It will then install support files.
14.)'WebDB Listener Successfull' Select OK.
15.)Exit Software Asset Manager
Go to the unix prompt to start the listener:
wdbstart host.domain port&WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you would like the listener to start on
i.e. wdbstart iprodhp2.us.oracle.com 22004&
CONFIGURING THE LISTENER
Go the following URL: http://host.domain:port/admin_/gateway.htm
WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/admin_/gateway.htm
Verify that your connect string is correct on the gateway.htm page. This should
be the alias registered in your TNSNAMES.ORA file. Then click Apply. It is
not neccessary to restart the listener after you make the change.
ACCESSING THE WEBDB HOME PAGE
Go to the following URL: http://host.domain:port/
HERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/

Why doesn't Photoshop support read/write of .mpo files?

I am actually blown away that I cannot find a single Photoshop plugin that reads and/or saves .mpo files. Does somebody know why? And why isn't anyone talking about this format? I find it hard to believe that no one in the entire Photoshop Windows forum has ever wondered about Photoshop's complete lack of or interest in support for .mpo files.
If nobody knows how to read/write .mpo files directly through Photoshop, perhaps someone could point me to some documentation for writing a plugin for it. It's a really really simple file format--there's no reason that a plugin shouldn't be available already.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Well wave of the future or not. its beening pushed hard. That is in a way good for us the consumers.. choice is always good.
3d tv's and monitors require at least 120hz in order to function. what does that mean for people who spend all their time in front of a monitor?
Bringing about the availablilty of 120hz and beyond flat panels.
Many are people are prone to getting migrains due to refresh rates 60 hz or less, Most people getting migrains from sitting at work in front of a 60 hz monitor all day long, and do not even realize it.
I happen to be one of those people who get migrains, especially if I am doing artwork for 8 - 10 hours.
I just picked up a 120 hz monitor like 2 weeks ago cause I am a techno junky and love my toys, it is the asus one that comes with the Nvidia glasses.
There is nothing wrong with my other monitor, a 24 inch HP monitor. Its a 1920 x 1200 5ms responce time 60hz monitor.
I didn't think i would really even notice the difference between a 120 hz and 60 hz monitor.
Boy ohh boy was I ever mistaken about not Noticing. sitting side by side, to me the picture difference is amaizing. Now i have not had an oppertunity to do a real weekend artwork fest but that will come with time.
The 3d features with the glasses on, I think are very cool in games its extreemly noticable since you have more control over what it is you are looking at. I am not sure i would play a game end to end for hours and hours in 3d. i think that would likely make my head explode but we'll see about that too and if not my be running into walls when i am done since you tend to loose perseption. not to mention 3d glassses make it so you see each picture at 60 hz in one eye 60 hz in the other putting you back to a 60 hz refresh and migrains.
anyway way off subject, but to sum it up.
Some good things can come from flavor of the day fads. Grant it some bad some times does too.. i mean look at bell bottoms....

Why doesn't Premiere support FLAC audio files?

.flac is an extension that is very useful to the majority of my coworkers as well as myself. It's quite a disappointment to see that Premiere Pro, even to this date, doesn't support the .flac extension. Does anybody know why this is or if support will be added soon?

adobe doesn't announce new features, so its anyone's guess if/when flac will be added. it is supported in audition, so if you plan on finishing in audition you can try to wait to add those flac files until then.

Why doesn't iTunes support aac streaming??

My favorite internet radio station streams in AAC+ format, but not mp3, to save bandwidth, which is a worthwhile goal. Considering that Apple was the pioneer of AAC, does anyone have any idea why iTunes doesn't support streaming in either AAC or AAC+ as far as I can tell? It seems kind of silly.
I hope someone from Apple is reading this thread and will maybe add a vote for adding this obviously useful functionality...

Only Apple know, and they're not likely to address a question like this directly. "Not invented here" might have something to do with it.

Why doesn't Apple support iSync any more?

Apple hasn't added any additional cell phone support in iSync since 10.4 was released. If I want iSync support with my Verizon service, I have a choice of three phones (out of FIFTY) -- and two of those phones cost over $150, and the third is about as low-end as you can get. No Chocolate, no V-Cast, NOTHING. Apple wants the Mac to be the center of my digital lifestyle, so why isn't Apple working towards that goal?

"Apple hasn't added any additional cell phone support in iSync since 10.4 was released."
Yes, they have.
For Sony Ericsson phones, Mac OS X 10.4.3 added K750, D750, K600, W600 and Z520 support, Mac OS X 10.4.6 added W600 & W900 support, and Mac OS X 10.4.7 added Z530 & W810 support.
Many other manufacturers phones had support added in the iSync 2.2 and iSync 2.3 updates part of Mac OS X 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 respectively.
If Verizon offers a poor selection of phones, then maybe you should look for another network provider. Apple has no control over the handsets each network provider offers.
The LG Chocolate phone (like all other LG, Samsung etc.) phones uses a proprietary syncing protocol, unlike Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola, who all use the industry standard SyncML.
You should direct your comments towards the mobile phone manufacturers who repeatedly refuse to build support for industry standards into thier phones, and refuse to provide Mac syncing support like they do for Windows.
Why do you think Apple should provide support for other manufacturers phones? Microsoft doesn't do it for Windows... the phone manufacturers do.
Apple have provided the system-level SyncServices framework which allows third-party device manufacturers to create iSync plugins for their phones. It is hardly Apple's fault if certain manufacturers choose not to.
So, complain to your network provider or phone manufacturer - not Apple.

HT1338 Why doesn't iMovie11 support AVCHD?

Im trying to create a nice movie using clips i took from a trip to New York in october. I used a panasonic camcorder that records in 1080p AVCHD, which inturn is an MTS. format.
This format doesnt seem compatable with iMovie 11.
I cant get to grips with why such a wide spread HD video format cant be used on such a state of the art editing software
Any help guys?
Id rather not buy a different piece of software or a new camera thank you very much
Wammy

iMovie supports many AVCHD cameras, but some only in certain modes:
iMovie '11 Supported Cameras
If yours isn't one of those supported, you'll need a conversion utility.

Why doesn't customer support understand?

I recently needed to reinstall windows xp. I have saved everything I needed to reinstall all my software. My photoshop CS2 is the only problem I've had. Since it was an upgrade my installation pkge is looking for a previous version. I have the serial number, original reciept, confirmation number, case number and all other materials needed including a challeng code given to me 2 years ago when I upgraded. After 3 hours and being kicked from Customer Service to Tech support over and over with a hold time of 15 minutes in between each one I was finally fed up.
Each person tried the same thing. Ctrl/Shift/Dbl Click which does not work. They agree my serial number is correct, they can see my purchase from the order number on my original reciept, but not one could give me a straight answer. They all kept asking the same questions over and over but none made sense. Honestly I don't think there was a language issue either. The last one actually said I should upgrade to CS4..... how could I upgrade that if I can't even upgrade to CS2 on my computer. I have totally lost respect for the Adobe system of support. I have 3 Adobe programs and I am waiting for the day I need support on those.
If anyone has any suggestions for me I'd love to hear them. They would not give me any help other than to say I must have a previous version loaded before I can load an upgrade.....NO kidding! But even though I paid and they see I paid for an upgrade in the past....they cannot come to the conclusion that the previous version would no longer be loaded on my computer.....I've upgraded...the previous one is gone. My only hope is to get ahold of a previous cracked version so I can run my paid program through with the previous installed..... that risks my computer getting malicious files on it...which is why I did the clean install in the first place......UGH!

When it asks for a previous version, put your previous version CD into the CD drive. That should work. You stated "I have saved everything I needed to reinstall all my software." That would include the earlier (full) version of Photoshop.

Why won't FrameMaker load some fonts? Word sees them!

FrameMaker Fonts Not Being Recognized
OS: Windows 7
FrameMaker (Structured): Version 10.0.2.419
Problem:
We noticed that the PC I have does not include all of the client's fonts. We purchased the fonts based upon the Missing Fonts error FrameMaker (structured) keeps displaying. IT installed the recently purchased fonts (the fonts have the same name). Microsoft Word recognizes the fonts but for some reason when opening those source files, those fonts are not recognized/loaded by FrameMaker. Consequently, the fonts are temporarily replaced, as expected in this scenario. The same files open fine on another PC.
This is what we tried:
Uninstalled both Acrobat Professional (version 10.1.3) and FrameMaker 10 (10.0.2.419). Reinstalled both packages and opened the source files once again. The fonts still are not recognized. In FrameMaker they appear greyed-out in the selection field.
Could the system profile be corrupted? Years ago I remember RoboHelp repeatedly corrupting my system profile on my Windows XP system. Could a “Running out of memory” situation do this?
Any suggestions as to where to look?
Thanks in advance!

How do you "install" the fonts?
Do you happen to have any sort of font managing software working?
should I try uninstalling frame and reinstalling?
I don’t think this is necessary. If at all, FrameMaker creates a font cache file in %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\.cache_fonts. You might want to delete this file and then restart the computer before starting FrameMaker again.
