Why look type badly spaced on the screen but prints perfectly?

I create a text block, say 13 pt or pt 12 ITC Bookman Light on one or two points of the leader.

On-screen, it looks good, but not good enough. Some combinations of letters are tighter than they should be. This is true the original 5.5 ID file and a PDF file directly from him.

But when I print, it looks perfect, in other words, it seems as it should without this strange letter spacing.

Is it just the nature of mathematical pixel distortions to be on screen?

Why does this happen?

How can I "fix" it?

It would be different if I specced the type not the points, but with pixels? (I even do that?)

And if I want to send this unit of the type to display on the screen, how can they see how it should look like, without the odd letter and incorrect spacing on the screen?

Thank you.

Larry,

Please delete the calculation when replying by e-mail. Thank you.

I think you are looking at a screen display issue, and I doubt there is anything you can do to ensure that it is correct on the other end. You can't control the screens of other users or settings.

  • Qosmio G20-117: bad pixels on the screen and the CD rom does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with the computer hardware. I got a Qosmio G20-117 and you have a problem with the cdrom and the screen. Got bad pixels on the screen, and cdrom does not work. I live in the United Kingdom, so I tried signing up to them to choose the computer before the computer is out of warranty.

    Whenever I register, it says sorry, an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later. I have tried at least 20 times since yesterday and it doesn't seem to work. I have them even called and they told me, the service is stopped and will be fixed this morning but yet nothing works.

    Any solution?

    Hello

    If you want to contact Toshiba service partner in your country then why you don't call them?

    I don't think that you need to register something apart from the serial number of your laptop. But in my opinion this could also be done at the point of service.

  • Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

    Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

    You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing, and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your and download the latest device drivers, firmware, and software for touchpad you and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may have to go the manufacturer of the mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

    This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

    If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

    I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

    Good luck!

  • I recently used a dvd + rw disk to back up my photos. Now when I put a dvd in my pc, why it will not display on the screen that's all there is, or how to give me access to it?

    I recently used a dvd + rw disk to back up my photos. Now when I put a dvd in my pc, why it will not display on the screen that's all there is, or how to give me access to it?

    Depends on what you used for the backup.

    If you used the windows backup or another backup software will contain the entire disk will be a backup file, and view/use this file, you use the same software that allows you to save.

    I just bought a new laptop and have downloaded Lightroom 4.4. The font size is tiny and unreadable. I looked in preferences to see if the font size can be redefined to allow me to read the screen but can't see anything (except the magnification tool application) to read the screen.

    Hello

    You can change the font of the user interface of the options below.

    • On Windows, choose Edition > Preferences > Interface > font size:
    • On Mac OS, choose Lightroom > Preferences > Interface > font size:

    Change font size according to your need.

    You must close out of Lightroom and restart for the change to take effect.

    Hmmh?

    Same problem as your last thread - the logic of your script is not really good!

    Why you use not the structure that I showed you it: unfunction third part of script you can fix it?

    Here's the script I posted here (extended now with alerts)

    For cookies, in Internet Explorer go to tools | Internet Options (or control panel |) Internet Options). Privacy and things together in the middle and you can adjust which sites to allow.

    For the issue of Windows Mail, you can have the database corruption so try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/), and then see if that helps any.  Try to restart also.  If you still have the problem, then look for the antivirus interference (disable e-mail analysis - see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3) and then delete your e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail and then add it back back.  Also, instead of using air streams is to use the file | Save as and save the unfinished on the desktop message when you dial the it.

    See if that helps.
