Wrong font spacing in terminator

Hi, today i upgraded my system. After i relogged terminator font looked like this:
http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg5 … eb70a5.png
The problem seems to be just with terminator, as xterm is showing fonts quite correctly.
The font terminator is using is monospace. I also tried the system fixed width and some other fonts but with no results.
thank you
edit: installed profont from community repository and it seems to fix the problem with terminator. Screenfetch show that i don't have any font...is this normal?

It worked! Going through and manually disabling the fonts helped me figure out what the problem font was (a duplicate copy of Times), though I needed to go through fontbook instead of home/library/fonts. Thanks!

Html to image but wrong font

I found some code to convert an html to an image.
Using the codeexample, i get a nice png-image but it has a wrong font.
I tried changing it in the html-source but it doesn't help.
any idea?

}Here is the html code

</tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="-1">Normal Text</font></td>
<td><b><font size="-1">Bold Text</font></b></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I ran your code and the output text looked like it was plain. However, all the Verdana fonts on my system look
pretty close to plain text, so I didn't know wether it was working or not.
So I ran your code but replaced the font with a more stylish one on my system (called "Chiller") in the html file. I got the correct results.
The posiblity then exists that "Verdana, serif" in your html file is not the proper way to reference
the font you're looking for. And if the JEditorPane can't find the font name on your system it defaults to plain text. "Chiller"
seemed to work fine for me.

Prints with wrong font and drops letters. Preview shows font correctly.

I'm having problems printing some pdfs in Leopard. The preview shows correctly but the resulting printout is in the wrong font and has missing letters. Specifically every time there are two 'f' in sequence they get left out.
Printing the same files on Tiger or even (Sigh) Windows yield the correct result. I've tested this with 3 printers (OKI C5800, Canon iR5000 and Canon iR C2620N). All with the same result.
The pdf in question were created with LaTeX.
Has anybody experienced something similar? What could be wrong?
I can provide the sample .pdf file if necessary.

After upgrading to Leopard, I was having trouble with my Samsung printer (ML-2150). Samsung hasn't upgraded the driver since OS 10.3, and it doesn't seem likely that they will ever do it. I found that the Linux-Foundation has an open source driver, which is compatible with a lot of printers. I downloaded the three components, and my Samsung is working perfectly now.
I would suggest that you give it a try, here is the link:

Wrong font in PDF opened in Preview

I have a Mac G5-Intel running 10.5.4. The problem is as follows:
I make a figure (a plot) with Igor, save the plot as EPS. I use Preview or "epstopdf" command to get the PDF.
For figures I processed before this problem showed up, the Preview displays the wrong font, but Acrobat displays the correct font (this is the font I selected in Igor when I first made the plot).
For figures processed after the problem showed up, both Preview and Acrobat display the same wrong font.
If I open the EPS version using some other application such as Canvas (a drafting software), the font displays correctly.
If I try to alter the font in the PDF file using Acrobat (full version), the font cannot always be changed because "The compatible system font and the document font may differ and some characters may look different. If the font is not on your system, there will be no way to re-embed it. Do you want to proceed?" message appears. I click "yes" and the font changes to Arial (I had requested Helvetica).
If I then want to change the font again to the previous condition, Acrobat refuses because "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved."
The problem never occurred in my older Mac Power PC running 10.4. In my new Intel Mac, there was a trouble-free couple of weeks after I got the machine.
The problem doesn't happen when I take my pdf figures to a colleague's identical machine or to my Intel MacBook Pro laptop running 10.5.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The problem also affects the same plots when they are part of a Latex output PDF made with TexShop. I thought this is normal, since Texshop uses Mac's PDF Preview machinery to process.

10.6.3 upgrade ruins Flash font spacing

I've been using Flash since '99 and every now and then a Mac OS update will ruin the files, completely changing the font spacing inside Flash. Anyone else have this and know of a fix? If not, it means spending an unbelievable amount of time re-typesetting potentially hundreds of documents.

1. Apple supplies developers with new systems before you ever see them.
2. They (the developers ) make adjustments( or not ) to their programs to work with the new systems.
3. Adobe is famous for not keeping up.
Adobe isn't happy with Mac for not including Flash on the iphone system and the new iPad.
Can you say HTML5?

Problems with Saved Watermarks - Wrong Font Size

Hi,
I am having problems with "Saved" Watermarks, as when I selected them they have the wrong font size.
I created a Watermark (Draft) to be placed on the lower right
corner of a PDF, using font Arial-10. This watermark has been save using the "Save Settings..." in Watermarks.
When I add this this "saved" watermark to a new PDF, the font size is wrong
(much much bigger), even though the Add Watermark windows reports Arial-10. Only by a selecting a different font size and changing it back to the saved font size (10) I get the correct Font Size in the PDF.
I had a similar problem with the placement, but managed to solve that by setting the Preference>User&Guide to the used Unit (Page&Ruler = centimeters). But for the font size I can't find anything in the preference.
Any Help or Suggestions ?

Hi,
Sorry forgot to add, I am using
Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 on Windows XP Prof.
Cheers

[SOLVED] Odd font spacing in gnome-terminal

Hi guys, i'm new to Arch and i'm loving it: everything is working flawlessly apart from monospaced fonts that look more spaced than what i'm used to (Ubuntu), here is what i'm talking about:
I tried -lcd and -ubuntu packages, changed hintstyle to both full/medium/slight but all to no avail, do you have any ideas?
Here is my configuration, that i'm using in Ubuntu and Arch right now:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintslight</const></edit>
<edit name="lcdfilter" mode="assign"><const>lcddefault</const></edit>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
Thank you in advance!
<edit>
Some clarifications: the configuration does get applied, so it's not due to misplaced configuration files, the font tracking just doesn't look right.
The depicted font in the screenshots is Menlo, but any other monospaced font, such as the Droid Mono, will look wrongly spaced.

Oh well, it seems i got it: it seems that just selecting a size of 7.5 instead of 8 get exactly the same spacing as if using a size of 8 in Ubuntu, this without installing any -ubuntu/-lcd/-cleartype patches, only vanilla arch packages.
The dumb gnome-3 new font selector will *not* permit selecting intermediate sizes and won't let you enter "7.5", so fire up gconf-editor and just change the value for apps.gnome-terminal.profiles.Default to be, as in my case, "Menlo 7.5".
Finally, sensible spacing in my terminals!

[SOLVED] Urxvt Font Spacing

Hello all!
I'm trying to get the artwiz-edges font working in Urxvt. Here's the line in my .Xdefaults:
URxvt.font:xft:artwiz-edges-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Issue is, when I restart and run Urxvt, the font is spaced apart very widely. Can someone please explain to me how to fix this?
Last edited by rednano12 (2010-07-09 20:07:27)

Is artwiz edges really a truetype font? If it is then you maybe the format of the URxvt.font argument is wrong and should be something like URxvt.font: xft:Artwiz Edges:size=11. If it's not maybe you should drop the "xft" from the argument. And don't forget to remerge your .Xresources or .Xdefaults (xrdb -merge .Xresources).

Bug in Code View font spacing - very annoying...

Hello,
I encounter a really annoying bug in the last version of Dreamweaver CC. The font in Code View is too spaced in the new version...
See below for screenshots from CS6 and CC to see the difference.
I'm using the font Courier New 9pt in both version...
Please advise.
Screenshots.

Dreamweaver CC - Notice the font spacing

I've managed to change the font to "Source Code Pro" in the Regeditor here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Font Preferences.
Style, the font is not as good as it was with Courier New... And Courier New is not working... I'm looking to have a normal Courier New in CC... Or at least anothe similar font... Not light as Source Code Pro...
Thanks

Acrobat X displaying the wrong font

I've been using Acrobat X for a few weeks. The other day it installed an update. Since then my documents aren't displaying the font used by the orginal Office 2010 documents.
If I create the PDF from Office 2010 by selecting "save as Adobe PDF" from Word or Excel file menu then Acrobat X renders it using Adobe Serif MM instead of Times New Roman. It seems like a close enough match.
If I create the PDF in Office using "save as" and choose the PDF file type then Acrobat X will substite Adobe Sans MM for Times New Roman,
If I send this to a person who is using Acrobat 9 it is being displayed as Times New Roman.
Does anyone know how I can make this work? We have a lot of pdf documents that were created using Office 2007 & 2010.

Hi Louis,
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that problem started with updating Acrobat 10.0.1 to 10.0.2 and it is there in both Save as "PDF" and Save as "Adobe PDF"
With Save as Adobe PDF, you see Adobe Serif MM font and
With Save as PDF, you see Adobe Sans MM font.
where the actual font is TimeNewRoman.
Am I correct?
Also when you say that "If I send this to a person who is using Acrobat 9" do you mean that you are sending above Acrobat 10.0.2 created PDF to a person who will view this in Acrobat 9? And there this PDF shows correct font. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I tried this for a sample file with Acrobat 10.0.2+Office 2010 Pro Plus+Win7 SP1 but couldn't able to reproduce. So based on above queries we will investigate it more. If possible please share your source file also (you can upload it on acrobat.com)
Thanks,

Font Spacing Inconsistent in pdf Print Out-How to Fix

I have a hard copy of a pdf that was probably made from many different pdfs (and or cut and paste from) and Word docs. On some of the pdf pages, the fonts have blank spaces between the letters of a word and sometimes two words without a space between them.
On some pages, this type of text and regular text are on the same page. In other pages, that probably came from the same source, all the text on all the pages is spaced irregularly.
What is the most probable cause of this and how do we fix it. One source of irrigular spacing docs are probably pdfs themselves. In the case where both irregular and regular text are on same page, I'm guessing it was a cut and paste job.
I suspect the text looks ok on the screen but cannot be sure since I don't have the electronic version. How do I tell them how to fix this?
Thanks,
Abby

Font antialiasing in Terminal with Dual Screen setup

I am reposting basically the same problem found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1472322 because I didn't find any solution browsing through the board.
Basically the problem is this:
1. Using only the laptop screen I have no problem. If I launch terminal with a single screen and then connect a second monitor I still have no problem.
2. If I then quit terminal and relaunch it it's like the font loses some antialiasing, it's much more thinner.
3. If I disconnect the second monitor it doesn't fix itself, I have to quit and relaunch terminal.

Does running the applications with DISPLAY variable help?
env DISPLAY=:0.1 pcsx
Setting the gaming monitor as primary output with xrandr might also help, if you get it running again. Take a look at dmesg about any warnings or errors and what modules are loaded.
I actually just started experimenting with DISPLAY, and it works how I want it to. I'm going to play with that a little bit (write scripts to launch my programs on that screen) to get the result I want. So, I think this issue is solved. Thanks.

SetFormatOfRange applies wrong font

Hi all,
I am having an issue changing the font for text in a RichEditableText to an embedded font. I am using Flex 4.1, and my code looks more or less like this (simplified):
<fx:Style>
     @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
     @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
     @font-face {
          src: url("assets/txt/BlackCasper.ttf");
          fontFamily: BlackCasper;
          embedAsCFF: true;
</fx:Style>
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
     import mx.events.FlexEvent;
        public function setFont() : void {
          var newTlf : TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat;
          newTlf.fontFamily = "BlackCasper";
          text.setFormatOfRange(newTlf);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:RichEditableText id="text"
          top="5" bottom="5" left="5" right="5"
          selectionHighlighting="{TextSelectionHighlighting.ALWAYS}"
          fontSize="70" editable="false" selectable="false"
          />
Polling Font.enumerateFonts in setFont lists "BlackCasper" correctly, so the font seems properly embedded. Also, if I set text.setStyle("fontFamily","BlackCasper"), the font is set correctly for the entire RichEditableText. However, if I call my function setFont, the selected text changes to a standard system font, instead of changing to the embedded font. I tried using a string that was not listed by Font.enumerateFonts(true) as fontFamily, and the selection changes to the same system font that it changes to if I use "BlackCasper". Finally, if I use a system font as fontFamily, then the selection changes (correctly) to the specified system font. From these observations, it would appear to me that a font family for an embedded font is not recognized by setFormatOfRange, which instead uses a default. Does anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

That's exactly what I was trying to do:
var newTlf : TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat;
newTlf.fontFamily = "BlackCasper";
text.setFormatOfRange(newTlf);
However, for some reason, the selection is not rendered to the embedded font "BlackCasper" as it should. Instead, the text is rendered in some random system font that is not "BlackCasper". For all widgets that accept CSS styling, I can use "BlackCasper" perfectly with setStyle. I really don't get what I am doing wrong with the way I use TextLayoutFormat

Font spacing issues

Have run into an interesting issue that I haven't been able to get to the bottom of.
The font in question is "Century Gothic", a fairly well-known and used font. When using the "regular" setting, everything seems to space out just fine. But if I attempt to use Bold, Italics, or Bold Italics, the character spacing goes nuts:
Here is a bit of test text in Pages:
Here is the same text (copy/pasted) into a Word 2011 document:
Of particular interest is that when either is printed - they print exactly as they look on-screen, complete with spacing issues.
Also notice that the "Bold" doesn't appear as "bold" in the Word document, but spacing is much better.
Any suggestions what might be the issue?

For your “Century Gothic” font, there may exist, typographic hints that Pages needs enabled for this font to achieve the correct visual presentation. Type ⌘+T to bring up the Fonts panel. Select the gear pull-down and select Typography. Perhaps the Pages and TextEdit teams have digressed in their design goals.
A pop-up panel will offer a (variable by font) list of available settings, or none.
