With CSS, what font does Ubuntu Firefox substitute for Palatino?

Hello,
I am using the following declaration in my CSS:
.serif {
font-family : Palatino;
I do not have Palatino installed on Ubuntu. I like the font that Ubuntu Firefox is substiuting for Palatino. How do I find out the name of the font that is being substituted for Palatino?
Regards,
PhaseMaster

You can right-click text with that font and use "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and check the font on the Fonts tab.

What font does iTunes use for inserts??

I know it uses Lucida Grande for iTunes itself, but what font does it use when printing out a jewel case insert? I have a project that is a gift and want the fonts on the iTunes insert to match what I am putting together for the spines.

Still looking if anyone knows.

What is a good free substitute for Adobe Flash Player? Apple will not download this but I need it for several things I want to do?

What is a good "free" substitute for Adobe Flash Player? I need this for photos to be developed.

You cannot substitute another app for Flash because it is proprietary technology. Apple is adamant about keeping Flash out of their phones and tablets, hence why you will not find it in the App Store. If you want to be able to use Flash on-the-go, consider purchasing an Android device.
Doesn't matter at this point. Android 4.0.3 is the last OS he'll have if he wants flash. Adobe has already stopped development for their mobile flash player.

Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font under Ubuntu Linux 8.04

Hello,
after an upgrade to Ubuntu Linux 8.04, the following problem occurs:
Short description:
Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
Long description:
A font that is not embedded in the PDF should be replaced by a similar one that is available on the system. In particular, sans serif fonts should always be substituted by other sans serif fonts. However, Adobe Reader substitutes Helvetica (which is sans serif) with a serif font (Adobe Serif MM).
Prerequisites:
Operating System: Ubuntu Linux 8.04
Adobe Reader Version: 8.1.2
PDF-Document: uses Helvetica, but font is not embedded
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
It used to work in 7.10 because by default, we used to cache all font-config fonts on every launch of the reader. But, in 8.1.2, in order to improve the launch timings on systems which have large number of fonts, we have made caching of font-config fonts optional through the use of the flag that you mentioned in your note (ACRO_ENABLE_FONT_CONFIG).
Thanks,
Shilpi

What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

What bookmarks does the firefox give you when you download firefox?

I am not sure how but all of my mozilla firefox bookmarks were erased. I do not know if I will ever need them but I would like to put them back in case I do. Thanks

Hi Dennis,
Firefox does not really include much in the way of bookmarks when you initially download it.
*What did you have a set of bookmarks on another version of Firefox ?
*and was that on the same or a different computer ?
* Presumably these were bookmarks that you saved yourself ?
If you have been using Firefox for a while or have imported bookmarks from some other browser then you will have a collection of bookmarks, that Firefox stores in a folder and set of files called the profile.
If you update Firefox. Or if you uninstall it (without explicitly deleting the profile) and reinstall again Firefox looks for and trys to provide the previous bookmarks and history.
What has happened have you reinstalled Firefox on a new computer ? <br> if so see
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Otherwise maybe these are appropriate
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
* [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
If you try to provide a bit more information about what happened maybe I will be able to give better advice. I am not sure at the moment exactly what your situation is ragarding any previous bookmarks.

WHAT IS THE LATEST FIREFOX VERSION FOR MAC?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/852967]]</blockquote>
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. And I am currently running firefox 5.0.1. What is the latest firefox version I should be running on my mac?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

What port does WRT1900Ac listen on for remote admin

good morning,
I have had a few problems with linksys smart wifi (periodically cannot connect).
traditionally I run dynDNS so I can connect to devices remotely (using port forwarding) and this works fine for me.
what port does the linksys router itself listen on for remote router admin requests (i.e http://publicipaddress:whatport)
also, is this configurable?
thanks
Dan

You have to use a Smart Wifi account for remote administration on the WRT1900AC

Keyboard with large bright characters could be cheap substitute for backlit keyboard

A non-backlit keyboard with large, high-contrast characters could be a cheap substitute for a backlit keyboard. Most Chromebooks have tiny characters with less than maximum contrast. It would cost no more to give them legible keyboards that could be used in poor light. The first image shows a Chromebook keyboard (not an Acer) compared with the same with large-letter stickers applied. After I applied the stickers, I could type 40% faster in good light and twice as fast in poor light. (Note: I have average vision.) Next is the Acer C720 Chromebook keyboard. It has better contrast and slightly larger characters than most of the new inexpensive Chromebooks, but it's still difficult to type on in poor light. A keyboard made with the design below would be clear enough to be used in a dark room by the light from the screen.

That's a REALLY good reason, bigbear. I get it, and thanks for explaining. I certainly was not trying to imply that there is some kind of 'issue' with adding a more visible keyboard. It is certainly NOT a violation of anything to plug in an external keyboard. That is probably the best solution that you have available at this time. But if you are suggesting replacing the internal keyboard on your laptop with a 3rd party keyboard, that could become a problem. First, as you described, it is not a task for the faint of heart. You'd have to find a keyboard that FITS in your laptop, and they are certainly not all the same. And as you also describe, the disassembly and reassembly process for a laptop can be quite complex. If you cause damage in the process, that would NOT be covered by your warranty. We call that 'Customer Induced Damage' and it just isn't covered. It's an 'at your own risk' situation. Adding stickers to the key caps is also not a problem for your warranty, unless of course the attempted removal of the stickers causes you to pop some of the keys off and you can't get them re-attached. That again is considered CID.
Having said all that, as I indicated earlier in this thread, the idea for bigger, better marked key labels has been submitted to our design team for consideration. MY vision certainly isn't perfect either, so I do understand where you are coming from. Thanks for raising the issue again.

Problem with CSS styles and Previewing in Firefox

Hello,
I recently rebooted my Mac OS X system (leopard) and reinstalled Adobe CS3. Before this I had virtually no problems with Dreamweaver and everything was running smoothly. However, now whenever I preview my pages in Safari, the CSS code is completely mangled.
Also, my site won't preview in Firefox unless I close any existing tabs and exit Firefox completely. I have no idea why these problems are occurring, but I have pasted the code below so any advice would be extemely helpful.

hey there,
thanks so much for the insight on the firefox issue. hopefully they fix that soon.
as for the css, i do have a screenshot of what's happening. the background image seems to repeat after the navigation bar instead of keeping the transparent background. it's extremely odd and i've never seen it before. it can be seen in the attached photo.
thanks again for your help,

[Solved] What font does Termite use as default?

I have used Termite for a little while, and I loved the minimalistic font it used. But when I installed the ttf-dejavu package, it changed to a different font.
The text in the two left-most terminals have the fonts before installing dejavu: http://i.imgur.com/jz9qjMM.png
The font in the config says Monospace 9, and writing fc-match monospace, I get "DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book""
So what is the name of the font that it used initially, before I installed dejavu?
Thanks.

Thanks, I found it: it is actuall Terminus! But with size 8 instead of 10...
I didn't know fonts could scale like that. I mean it scales without being anti-aliased, keeps being pixel-perfect.

I will be buying an Ipod nano touch. I want it because I will use it with Nike Plus. Does Att have plans for the Ipod nano touch? If so, give me the link. Or tell me what to do.

Please be specific.

The Nano does have 3G or 4G capabilities nor does it have any Wi-Fi hardware and capability, so no need to worry about setting up a plan/service with AT&T.

What algorithm does Excel 2010 use for Pseudo Random Number Generation (MT19937?)

Does Excel 2010+ use the Mersenne Twister (MT19937) algorithm for Pseudo Random Number Generation (PRNG), implemented by the RAND() function?
This has been a nagging question for some time now, with "hints" that it indeed does. However, a relatively thorough search turns up no definitive documentation. The most direct indication is perhaps given by Guy Melard [Ref 9] where
he tests Excel 2010's RAND() function using the Crush battery of tests in TestU01 by L'Ecuyer & Simard. Melard references a "semi-official" indication that Microsoft did indeed implement MT19937 for the RAND() function in
Excel 2010, but this reference no longer seems to be available. http://office.microsoft.com/enus/excel-help/about-solver-HP005198368.aspx?pid=CH010004571033.
The other references below [Ref 1-10] document the history of the statistical suitability of the PRNG and probability distributions in various versions of Excel. This includes the Wichmann-Hill PRNG implementations supposedly (arguably) used in
Excel 2003 & 2007 for random number generation. But still, we have no answer as to which PRNG algorithm is used in
Excel 2010 (and 2013 for that matter).
Microsoft indicates that RAND() has been improved in Excel 2010; Microsoft states, "...and the RAND function now uses a new random number algorithm." (see https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Whats-New-Changes-made-to-Excel-functions-355d08c8-8358-4ecb-b6eb-e2e443e98aac).
But no details are given on the actual algorithm. This is critical for Monte Carlo methods and many other applications.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I found the same KB article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/828795
This was introduced (according to the article) in Excel 2003. Perhaps the references in notes 2 and 3 might help.
The article describes combining the results of 3 generators, each similar to a Multiply With Carry (MWC) generator, but with zero carry. MWC generators do very well on the Diehard battery of randomness tests (mentioned in your references), and have
very long periods. But using zero carry makes no sense to me.
Combining the three generators only helps if the periods of the 3 are relatively prime (despite what the article implies). Then the period of the result will be the product of the 3 periods. But without knowing the theory behind these generators, I have
no idea what the periods would be. The formulas for MWC generators fail here.

What folder does flex look in for embed?

When I start a new flex builder 3 project it creates several
folders (eg: bin-debug, src, etc.)
if I were to use this code:
[Embed(source="logowithborder.jpg")]
what folder should I put 'logowithborder.jpg' in?
Thanks!

Your source folder. Look in your application properties.
Under "Flex Build Path", look for the "Main Source Folder" value.
By default, Flex sets this to "src". This is the /src folder that
is displayed below the root of the Flex Application. So, your image
would be directly under "src". However, it's best to organize all
of your files, so, you might want to create an "assets" folder
under your source folder, and put your images in there. I actually
have an assets folder with several other folders below it -
"fonts", "icons", "images", "stylesheets" - for further
organization.
