Windows 2008 R2 Doesn't Allow DPI (Font Size / Scaling) Changes on Remote Sessions

I am using latest version of RDP Client 6.1 from my local Windows 7 Enterprise system, as well as RDP Client 6.1 from a Windows 2008 R2 server.
When I connect to other Windows 2008 R2 servers, I am unable to increase the DPI settings. In Control Panel > Ease of Access > Optimize Visual Display > Change the size of text and icons, I get a screen which says “The display settings
can’t be changed from a remote session”.
This is unacceptable. I am able to change this setting on any Windows 2008 (pre-R2) server in multiple environments. When is MSFT going to fix this issue in R2?
I have seen other posts on this issue
such as this one -- one person suggests exporting the registry settings under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics and then to set them on my R2 server.
Can I export those registry keys from a 2008 (non-R2) server where I have set the DPI to 125%, and then import them onto the R2 server?
Thank you.

This sort of works:
Run this .reg file and logoff/logon.

3.6.6 doesn't allow css font-sizes below 8px

Previously in Firefox 3.5 to 3.6 the font-size css attribute would allow sizes below 8px. Firefox 3.6.6 doesn't allow css font-sizes below 8px.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I've found the problem. Go into about:config and change the font.minimum-size.x-western to 0. I'm not sure how mine was set to 10... My hunch is that Firefox 3.6.6 defaults the size to 10 on upgrade.

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.

Windows 7 Firefox 5.0 Yahoo Mail font sizes

When I change the font size in Yahoo Mail "compose message" the font size on screen always appears as my default 10 point, and I cannot see what I am actually composing. I forwarded a test email to a second Yahoo account of mine and hey presto, the different size fonts were displayed.
I then forwarded the test email back to my first Yahoo account and the various fonts sizes were displayed. On trying to forward that email on my "forwarded message" reverted to displaying 10 point on my screen.
I seem to have accidentally sent emails with HUGE text in them as I cannot see what I am actually writing and the font size sometimes changes unnoticed. Any suggestions?

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Font size not changing...

I have a document with some body text that seems to be stuck at the wrong size. Even if I change paragraph types, sizes, hit Apply, Update All, etc., I can't get this one word to change to the right size. I could change it manually, but there are a lot of them in the document, and the whole point is that it's supposed to be automatic.
Framemaker 7.1p114, Windows XP.
Example of problem:
http://flyingmoose.com/error.fm

Saving the file as MIF and viewing that with a text editor (or the wonderful freebie MIFBrowse at http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm
shows that there is a font size override applied to the problem word, which is why it doesn't get changed when you update the paragraph tag.
Easiest route would be to use FM's find/change to find that specific character format
<String `Reference characters (in '>

<FSize 11.0 pt>
<FLocked No>
> # end of Font
<String `parentheses'>

<FLocked No>
> # end of Font
<String `) corresponding to elements '>
> # end of ParaLine

Automatic font size/type change after sending - why and how do I fix it?

This only seems to happen when I copy text from a web page and paste it into a compsosing email within Mail but it does not display on screen as anything different until the email is sent.
Here is an excerted screenshot from an email that was sent. When I composed it there appeared to be normality but after sending it changed.
A little more background on when this seems to happen. My french is not good. I use dictionary.com to translate text then copy and paste it to the email. I am not sure if this is the only circumstance of when this debacle happens but it seems to be constant when I follow the previous steps. Note: If I am not troubleshooting when it happens and I highlight all text (even though it looks normal) before sending then manually change the font size or font type and revert back to the size type then it does not always happen but still will periodically.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Is it a known bug or virus?

This is not a virus.
It's important to keep in mind that Mail sends HTML e-mail, when the text needs to be "styled" in any way, rather than just plain text, and not all mail clients will display that in the same way (or even at all). Also, Mail doesn't really have much in the way of editing capabilities for HTML e-mail.
Fortunately, from what you describe, there's a solution... if text you are copying from somewhere and pasting into Mail has strange formatting, try command-option-shift-v, or Edit -> Paste and Match Style, to paste the text. This discards all the style information attached to the copied text, and pastes just the text itself, making the text match the style of whatever you're pasting it into.

Only my email font size has changed....it's gone smaller while everything else including ads is normal size. How do I change it back to 12 pt type?

twice in the past few weeks the font size on my email has changed smaller. The first time it went from 12 pt type to maybe 10 pt type. Last night while I was chatting on Yahoo with our daughter, it went down to maybe 2 pt type. I couldn't find a way to change it back. This morning I opened up the computer to try to work on it again and the font size was maybe 1/2 pt type. The words look like little squiggles on the page. Both my email addresses on Yahoo have reacted the same but the ads to the right of the email on the mail page remain the same size. If I open up another window, and say go to foodtv.com, everything is normal size. I have opened up Safari and gone to my email and everything is normal szie so the problem is the Mozilla. I have also called ATT and gotten help and they couldn't help as it's definitely a Mozilla problem.

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'font color="red"'||re_chg||'/font',
0,'font color="blue"'||re_chg||'/font',
1,'font color="green"'||re_chg||'/font','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER

Font Size / Style changes on recipient's end?

I've been using mail since Leopard and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard where I'm currently on Mail version 4.2 (1078).
Whenever I compose and send a message where the default font is Helvetica 12 and the email format is rich text, some recipients receive my email where the font is very tiny, maybe a 4 pt font and the style changes.
In many of my emails, I will copy and paste a paragraph or two from another email where the font is theoretically the same and then I will edit a few words in the body of the email before submitting.
When some recipients reply back with my original email text, I sometimes see the edited text as a tiny font or the font size of my email has shrunk down considerably.
I sent a test email to my hotmail and gmail accounts but this issue does not seem to arise. What I saw before sending my email is exactly the same font size/style in my hotmail and gmail accounts.
Is this an issue with the recipient's email browser or are there some incompatibilities with Apple's Mail and other email browsers?

Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

Can Finder windows Always preview images? Can the Preview size be changed?

I would like to have my Finder windows always open so that when viewing a list of images and clicking on one, the preview is displayed as if the arrow has been clicked to open the preview.
How is that controlled?
Also, I was wondering if that preview size can change. I thought that if I increases the size of that 'cell' in the wondow that the preview would grow but that's not the case. Can I change the preview size?

It's not altogether clear to me exactly what you want, but if you open a folder of images and put the window into column view, you can drag the last preview column until it displays the maximum size preview of 255 pixels in width or height. However, not all thumbs are created equal, and not all will display at that maximum size, some are limited to the usual icon maximum of 128 pixels. Thus the jpegs I download from my camera will have a max of 128, but if I have opened and saved the image as a Photoshop file the max will be 255. Screenshots in png format also have the 255 maximum. Large jpegs I download (which do not have a custom thumb) will also display at the 255 max in Column view. Just depends on the file.

Skype for Windows 8.1 doesn´t allow me to logout +...

I have two problems here which started after I got installed Windows 8.1:
1) I seem to appearing online when I´m closing the Skype window (by dragging it down).
2) I can´t logout from Skype for Windows 8.1 app
I already unlinked my Microsoft account from Skype account, but that doesn´t help at all.
Can we get this bug fixed and logging out option back it was like in Windows 8?
Pretty please,this situation is getting really annoying and I don´t know what to do :c
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The proposed solution DOES NOT work if you are logged into your computer with microsoft account. In this case Skype also automatically logs you in with microsoft account and you are provided with two options only: either to link (again) your (just unlinked) skype account to microsoft or to register a new skype account.
In both cases you will NOT have the option to sign out. The only option to sign out from Skype is if you are not using your microsoft account to log into the PC (use a local account). If you are logged into the pc with microsoft account, there is NO WAY to turn skype off unless you UNINSTALL the windows 8 version (use the desktop one). As long as the Metro version is installed on your PC, it will be running. Always. 24x7. It will also be runing in background, even if you have "Allow this app to run in backround" set to Off, even if your lid is closed and your computer is in sleep mode (skype will wake it up every now and then

Why does font size automatically change

For my church work, I have created mini-presentations with lyrics. I then copy them into my service master. A number of times the font dramatically increased in size from the the file I am copying into the master. I mean like from 28pt Helvetica to 108pt Helvetica. I can go back and manually change it. But its a pain and just not right. W

Copying them into same version of Keynote (6). Open up the source file. Highlight the slides. Drag them over (they nicely fold into one sort of pile .. nice effect). Put them where I want them to go. POW, the font goes super-size ... but not always. Let me modify that ... not all my songs do it. I need to do some experimenting around to see if the same files do it all the time. I have a library of 75-100 songs so I need to do some testing on purpose. Don't know if it make a difference but I created most of them on my iPad and then work with them on my Mac. But compatability was the main point of Keynote 6 .. or at least I thought.

Pages 5 Document Endnotes doesn't allow text continuation onto next page?

For large blocks of endnote citations, Pages 5 doesn't all the text to flow down to the end of the page before going to the next. Rather it treats the endnote text area as its own section, thereby moving the entire text box to the next page. This is problematic from a formatting standpoint because it wastes page space, does anyone have a workaround or suggestions?
Example:
Citation 5 is long but I would like to keep it on the same page as Citation 4 and just let the text continue onto the next page. However Pages 5 doesn't allow me to adjust the endnote text box and just jumps to the next page. Rarely do you see endnotes arranged in this manner in high-level research reports and we can't have this.

I exported a PDF from Pages v5.2.2. This uses Apple's Quartz PDFContext, not Quark.
In Windows 7, I opened this PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader v11.0.09. I then copied/pasted a paragraph of this PDF content into LibreOffice Writer (v4.3.2.2). Since there was Baskerville in Windows 7, this comment pasted correctly including font-size. I did not have to make any adjustments to LO to accept this text.
On Ubuntu Linux 14.04, with the latest updates, I opened the same PDF in Evince, the default PDF viewer. Adobe does not offer an Acrobat Reader download for Linux. Again, I copied and pasted a paragraph of content from the PDF viewer into LibreOffice Writer. As there was no Baskerville installed, Writer defaulted to the Liberation font, at the correct point size.
In either of these platform scenarios, there were no anomalies with sentence/paragraph newlines .vs. carriage return issues from the PDF document during copy/paste operations. These were default control-v pastes that did not use the Paste Special menu item in LibreOffice.

Can a Cisco 881 router create an L2TP/IPsec tunnel via NAT to Windows 2008?

Hi
Was anyone successfull in setting up an L2TP/IPsec tunnel through NAT-T against a Windows 2008/ R2 RRAS server? I am using an 881 router and the layout is someting like this:
Client -> 881 -> NAT -> internet -> Windows 2008 RRAS
The tunnel goes form the 881 to the Windows server (not from the client...).
Thanks
Roland

Hi Federico
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.
In my case this should be transparent to the client - I would like not to initiate the connection from the client.
Does that makes sense? I am considering L2TP because Windows 2008 R2 doesn't support IPSec tunnels through NAT (2008 R2 being the responder and the Cisco router the initiator of the IPSec connection).

Roland
