Zav 9 application and fonts

Hi all,
I have a problem with fonts and Zav applications, setup is like this. Build pc does not have specific font, user pc has.
Problem is when the user open a indesign file, the user gets a error message stating something like "Missing font, document blah.indd, the font is replaced with a standard font".
If I look in the specification for the application the font folder is set to merge, but all files in the font folder is set to full isolation. I guess that is the normal way to do things.
If things was working the way that I thought then this meant that isolate the files with same name in the folder but merge all other files from guest pc.
Is zav unable to pick up fonts from guest systems?
Is the only way to solve this to install all fonts that clients are using on build pc?
All replys are welcome.
best regards
Lennart

Include the font _inside_ your build, so install during the snapshot, then it doesn't matter if the font is already there or not if you set the folder to full isolation.

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers? I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail. Changing the screen density is not a good option.
Thanks

I downloaded Tinkertool. Found the font section and increased the size of most selections. The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label. The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4. Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either. I'll keep working. Restarted all apps after changes as well.

Fonts under gtk2 applications and firefox

I got a 23" wide screen LCD monitor (I used to be on a 17" LCD monitor).
fonts in Qt4/KDE applications look wonderful on both screens.
KDE and the fonts are just beautiful now on a wide screen.
But gtk+ applications and firefox fonts look like poo (used to look fine on old screen). I'm guessing this is a limitation in pango?
if so, how do I work around it? any patches or whatever for pango?

Put this in .Xresources (create it if it isn't there):
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Adjust according to preferences: hintslight, hintfull, hintmedium, rgb, grayscale and so on. Basically, recreate the values in your KDE font preferences panel. Run
xrdb -merge .Xresources
. If it still doesn't work, create a file named .fonts.conf in ~ and put this in there:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >

<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font"><edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcddefault</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
I'm guessing your LCD filter value isn't set. You may need to log out and back in. I had the same thing happen in Gnome. Vanilla freetype has better rendering than any of the patched packages IMO, it's just a matter of tweaking.

Font size is too small in flash applications and the "zoom" feature does not make any difference. Thanks

Zoom dosen't work in flash applications and it is crazy small and too hard to read...this does beat out the fact you can't right click using flash in google chrome...I prefer firefox, but will go back to IE if it is the only program without such major bugs
I have also reset the minimum text size in flash and that did not help the problem at all.

I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Help - Font Book and font Library doesn't work

I've just updated to a new iMac on Yosemite, and Font Book doesn't work. Neither does putting fonts into the "Library"
There is a range of fonts that ARE working that are already in either place, but some (that worked up until two days ago in my old Mac running OS 10.6.8) just won't work.
If I select the fonts in Font Book, Font Book doesn't load them. If I put them in the Library, they don't appear for use in any application.
As a designer, updating fonts is essential, and if this can't be fixed I'm in serious trouble! So any advice welcome!

We see posts like this here all the time. A person upgrades to a new OS, and Font Book suddenly stops working. Usually, the problem is that Font Book's database has been trashed by the upgrade with the very common symptoms you're seeing. You suddenly can't add fonts, and fonts Font Book says are open don't appear in some, or any apps.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point. Yosemite is a bit different. Whether it's a Safe Mode boot or a normal one, you get the same progress bar. It just takes longer to get to the desktop in Safe Mode. So hold the Shift key until you get to the desktop.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
If that alone doesn't do it (it should), then clear out all of the font cache data.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current logged in user account. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

See Roddy's posts in these topics:
Re: VIEWING iWEB SITES ON A PC ?
Re: iweb pages memory intensive
Re: iweb site on my personal domain name locks up
The message in each is pretty much the same but he does give some info of an application that can optimize the web pages to make them more readily readable by IE.

Menus and Fonts too small with Panasonic HDTV

I just hooked up a new Mini (Intel chip) to my Panasonic HDTV-- 34" Model No. CT-34WX53-- using a DVI cable. The desktop shows up fine, but the menus and fonts are so tiny that I can't read them. When I try using Front Row, the pictures and vide are gorgeous and the fonts in Front Row are fine. It's just the fonts and menus in on the desktop and in other programs that are too small. Does anyone know how to fix?

Edward,
That's the price of having a gazillion pixels!
You have two options - send less pixels to the display or change each application (Including the finder) to show larger fonts and icons.
The lower the resolution option is easy and fast. The downside of "zoom"-ing the display is it may look blocky at certain resolutions and the fonts and fine details in photos and movies may be lost if the mac has to alias or scale the video. If you do this - you might want to enable the menu bar item for display preferences to quickly switch between the setting you prefer. I use one setting for actually using the mac and another setting for playing movies and showing slides in FrontRow.
The change the preferences to make the fonts and icons larger is more of a pain but yields the most crisp display and you don't have to change things up. I would start with Finder Preferences (select an icon on your desktop and on the View menu - show view options - crank up the icon size and font size.) Unfortunately - you have to do this in each application you use. It also won't change the menu font sizes - you might need an "extension" from a developer to change that.

Ant, mxmlc and font managers

My team is building an AIR application and we are using SVN and a Flex Ant task to compile it on a staging server. I have a decent understanding of what each piece of the compilation process needs to run and got the AIR application compiled and packaged without too much hassle.
We recently switched fonts and require the command line switch '-managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager' in Flex Builder. I've been reading about how to get this done and have found two solutions:
1) Edit the file frameworks/flex-config.xml and change the order of the font managers. This isn't a great solution because every time we upgrade the SDK on the server we'll have to go through and make this change again. This process is described in the adobe livedocs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=fonts_06.html
2) Set it as a managers attribute in the ant build file as described here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/610386/how-to-include-additional-compiler-arguments-whe n-using-mxmlc-ant-task I can't seem to get this to work, I end up with an error like this:
src/build.xml:75: The <mxmlc> type doesn't support the "compiler.fonts.managers" attribute.
I get the same error when I use the "managers" alias.
My question is what is the preferred method of reordering the font managers? Thanks in advance!

I forgot to attach the relevant section of my build.xml, here it is:
    <target name="compile.release"
        description="Compile swf modules and main swf" depends="clean">

How to open a file in ZAV Application ?

HI All
I create a Adobe reader application (version 9.4)which insert a PDF file in it.
I want to make this application open , it could auto open this pdf file.
I add a command line such "@SYSDRIVE\test.pdf" iin startup file.
then I perform it to verify, when the application running and try to read pdf file. it show a error message.
ZAV_AdobeFileOpenFail.png
it fail to open pdf file, but I could manual use open file to select my testing pdf file.
I want to find the main reason about this error message (or how to create to debug to verify this error)
Do I ask which document provide such information ?
thanks!!
wyldkao

HI
Yes , I had insert testing pdf file to this virtual application (ex: .File\@SYSDRIVE@\test.pdf)
I meet this error message when I use ZAV template file (Adobe Reader 9.4),today, I use Adobe Reader 11.0 and use template (just use template configure , not its file content)...Adobe Reader 11.0 has no such error message like I meet. I could perform Adobe Reader 11.0 virtual application , and when it will auto open the pdf file that I set in "Command line".
So it seem template content file cause my probelm.

GTK styles and fonts missing in KDE

when I go to system options, there used to be GTK styles and fonts under application appearance, but I don't see it there no more.. am I missing something? is it just because of gnome3? I also tried this, but it didn't help..
any hints?

Can I increase menu sizes and fonts without lowering my resolution?

This is my first desktop Mac ever and its a huge shock to have the menus and fonts so small. I thought my having a large 27" display that its going to be easy to see everything.
At the same time I do not want to lower my resolution as i feel it defeats the purpose and I am also a photographer that needs to have the best resolution. I am okay with hitting comm+ to make applications bigger but the menu bars and applications I use tend to be much smaller than Im used to. Even a word doc on Pages opens up extremely small to where nobody can read it. I am 32 with perfect vision and its making hard to read.
Im just wondering and hoping that there is something I can adjust and since Im new to Mac dont realize yet. If not, than thats pretty disappointing and will start to wonder if i should have bought something else
I am open to downloading 3rd party stuff if it makes it do what I want it to.
Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestions Paul_31 and Strawb268 which, I agree does make a difference to the menu text size but at reduction of screen definition and clarity which is, after all, one of the main reasons I bought the iMac in the first place.
I've read elsewhere since making the initial post that the Apple engineers don't like a larger font. Maybe when they get a bit older they will wish they had made that option available!
I really hope that an option for changing the fonts in menus is included in a future upgrade of Mavericks. I really don't want to have to go back to a Windows PC to resolve such a simple issue.

MacBook Pro running slow if at all and font conflicts

My MacBook Pro is really not responding and I keep getting pop ups that say there is a conflict with a font file. I was just on it on Sunday morning and it worked just fine. Later that evening these font conflicts appeared, but I hadn't done anything crazy for them to pop up. Please help..

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Losing contrast and fonts in Thunderbird.

I usually keep my 20" iMac at 1680 x 1050. but there are times when I need to drop it down a notch to 1344 x 840. When I do all the text in my Safari, e.g., becomes very fuzzy. I realize it's at lower resolution but it seems that there should be a way to sharpen it a bit.
I also noticed today that when I switched back to 1680 x 1050 the contrast between regular fonts and bold fonts seems to have dropped, the bold seems too light.
I noticed the difference between normal and bold fonts in my mail reader, I use Thunderbird. I also noticed that my Thunderbird was missing the complete list of fonts I have loaded. This happened once before and restarting brought back the fonts and the contrast.
Any idea as to why this would happen or is this better discussed in a Thunderbird group?
Thanks, Rob

In the +good ol'+ days of CRTs (I actually still use a 21-inch flat-screen CRT), you could vary the size each pixel on the screen. Therefore, when you changed the resolution, the image stayed sharp.
With LCDs, the physical size of each pixel is fixed. Therefore, it is only really sharp at the native resolution. For the 20" iMac, it's 1680 x 1050. When you use a lower resolution, the system fudges the pixels to approximate the new resolution, but since it cannot change the size of each physical pixel on the screen, it will be fuzzy.
I don't use Thunderbird, but you may want to run the +Font Book+ application and see if those fonts got disabled for some reason.
Also, if you have not done it recently, run Disk Utility and use the +Repair Disk Permissions+ routine on your startup volume.

Changing Colour and font of individual OAF pages

Hi,
Is it possible to change colour and font for individual OAF pages?I am aware of CUSTOM.xss but that changes it for the whole application.I want to make the changes for specific pages.
Thanks,

Try using HTML:
Set the text to:
area.setText("<html>My <b>Text</b> Here</html>");
and see if the word Text is in bold. If so, then you can go as far as you want using HTML tags to set bold, color, etc.
