I have a textFormat and textField generation some text using the Font: Franklin Gothic Book point size 8.

According to sitepoint (a source I typically highly trust) when specifying font-family names some Operating Systems/Browsers may be case-sensitive. I've typically always used mixed-case values but I'm wondering if lower-case values will work just the same? I don't have an overwhelming preference either way - but I'd hate for a page to ...

In use it in vhdl-mode, and it is really annoying, that the text doesn't align. In other editor the text-alignment is fine, even though I have modified it in emacs. Anyone their have a solution...

I need to install a font on a client machine when my program is started and I know I need to use PInvoke to accomplish this but I am having trouble understanding what exactly PInvoke does and I don't really understand the example HERE.

I'm currently working on a little font organization/preview application for myself, however, I'm having a hard time getting the exact information I need. I've found that I can load an external font by just creating a new FontFamily object with the font's file location as its source. However, I can't find a way to get a font's specific f...
Hi, everyone. I'm writing a small .NET application that can produce SWF files, and I need to support Unicode fonts. I don't know the things on it and font rendering well, so I understand that I've made some blunders while writing my application: many fonts installed on my Windows don't support Unicode characters so I can see hollow squa...
Im getting a rendering of Helvetica UL thats rendering fuzzy below a certain point size, about 16 I think. Above that point size it renders perfectly. I checked this in the search and can't seem to find anything relating to it. Does anyone know if there is a granular control for the font/flash quality? many thanks ...
Hi, This is something that I don't see much discussed. I'm developing a software that will support multilingualism, thus, I would need to use Unicode compatible fonts, right? Where could I possibly find such fonts and how would I know for sure they support Chinese, Korean, Japanese, whatever there exist? It's a shame you can't use beau...

Sometimes while typing in a textarea in Flex many characters will be rendered at one height then at some point on that same text line the rest of the characters are rendered a couple pixels lower than the rest. Here is an example, look at the last 'I' character, its low: Sometimes changing the font size will fix this but its not consis...
Hello, I am using sifr3 and I know it is supposed to let you use multiple fonts in one line. I have tried a number of changes with my sifr.css and sifr_config.js files to no avail. I tried using spans, sub class of h1, etc. Sample Link: http://www.liquidcomma.com/about%5Fus/pages/overview/ Thanks for any help you can provide. ...
I am having a hard time to find out which font is used by the Win 7 File Explorer in the tree view on the left hand side. Better, of course, would be if I can programmatically find out which the right font is (C#). I searched the Windows 7 design guidelines but this particular scenario is not listed (at least I couldn't find it). So an...
I have a textarea where I measure the textWidth and textHeight to make sure the user cannot enter more text than can fit in the text area. I also extended the textArea with a textHeightNow and textWidthNow that measure the textField's dimensions since they update w/out requiring validation. Now this works great for 90% of the embedded ...
Many Japanese fonts have a special fixed-width variant of the standard ASCII latin characters that are half as wide as the font's standard fixed-width for Kanji/Kana characters. This allows you to vertically line up Latin and Japnaese text by simply using 2 Latin chars per Japanese character. This is called something like "half-width ...
Details on fonts: When you have some text in specific font, there's a header that says what the font is and then characters that are X number of bytes apiece. The computer looks up what that character is supposed to look like in the font and displays it. Underlines, Bolds, and Italics are added using a set algorithm that applies to all f...
I'm working with generating .pdf's from PHP using this library: http://www.fpdf.org/ I am currently hung up, though, on adding new fonts, specifically the step on generating the .afm file from a .ttf font file.
