Windows 8 and anti-aliasing of fonts

Hello!

This is my first post in the Microsoft community.
I'm a big fan of this company, and that I usually use their products in my studies, work, mail... etc.
I've used Windows since XP, and I'm very happy with the last windows8.
Windows 8 is much more fluid and more "BOLD", I love it!
There's only one small problem, but it's really important me: font smoothing.
I started using Ubuntu lately in my brother's laptop, and I was completely impressed by the display of fonts on it.
It seems bigger, more professional and more :-)
The police is 'acceptable' on windows only when it is greater than 50px.
I see an evolution on this way on IE for ie9, but it certainly not the same as Ubuntu
Can they take this thinking in mind when working with blue windows, or they will ignore it and continue with the fonts as 15years ago...

Hello!

I would like to offer a way to adjust your font smoothing.  To account for many types of LCD monitors and different types of pixels, Windows has adjustments to the police of smoothing method it uses.  It is possible that an optimal method of inferiority is currently used.  Here is how to adjust it:
  1. Open your startup screen and type the word "clear" (search results appear when you start typing).
  2. Select the category of settings on the right, then click on the result of research called "adjust ClearType text' to start the ClearType text.
  3. Click next in the wizard and then step through the calibration.  At each stage, you will be asked to click on the text that is best for you.  This will allow Windows to use better anti-aliasing of fonts for your system and your preference.

  • Anti-aliasing of fonts not embedded

    I read that Flash Player 10 introduced a new text engine that provides anti-aliasing of device fonts, or fonts that are not incorporated.  How can I take advantage of this in Flex?  I have Flex Builder 3.0.214193.  The documentation says I should use built-in fonts to get anti-aliasing.  And indeed, if I do not incorporate fonts, I certainly don't get any anti-aliasing.

    Thanks in advance!

    None of the Flex 3.x components can use this feature.  You can put your own text on screen using flash.text.engine classes, if you want.  Flex 4 components will be able to do.

  • cRIO thanks the Module NI 9237 bridge in the Interface of scanning and Anti-Aliasing

    Hello

    I have questions about the use of a Module NI 9237 bridge with CRIO and its use in Scan Interface mode. The manual speaks the data rate of the module, and a (n) parameter that can be set to adjust (to a minimum of 1613 Hz) which in turn puts across the module built in anti-aliasing filters. It seems (but not explicitly stated) that this data rate setting is available FPGA programming mode.

    Our application is currently running in mode Scan Interface, so my question is what is 'throughput' module (and therefore anti-aliasing filters) mode Scan Interface? And, if we have the analysis period the value 10msec (100 Hz), y at - it no filtering of the anti-aliasiing of software provided automatically by scanning interface itself related to the period of scanning? Or all the anti-aliasing extra something that we must build within ourselves? I looked at the example provided with Scan Interface and there is nothing more.

    I don't understand about anti-aliasing, just need to clarify what is happening for this specific module mode Scan Interface.

    Thank you

    Hi Andy,.

    I had to have a quick sleep on this night to get my facts right, hope that the delay was too long!

    The minimum data listed in the 1613 samples/s are due to a forumla that uses the internal time base that is fairly well explained on page 20 of the Manual. The sweep period did not affect the rate of data, or to activate the anti-aliasing filter. My previous post was wrong in that sense, apologies!

    This page helps explain mode of scanning pretty well too, but the best way to explain it is that even if the frequency of the module can be attached to 1613 samples/s or higher, the compactRIO will collect only 1,000 of these samples a second, or in your case if you are using a rate of 10ms loop, 100 of these samples of 1613. The anti-aliasing cut will be based on 1613 x 0.45 as you said and so will be 725Hz (not based on the rate of loop as I mentioned incorrectly)

    In this case with these modules it is probably a good idea not to use a period of scanning slower than 1 msec for the reason you said - if you're worried about oversampling you can always you decimate readings in the software afterwards to take each readings from 1 to 10 (this page explains how do with an eerily similar situation!)

  • Disabling hardware acceleration also live up to anti-aliasing of fonts

    As in the title.

    First screenshot shows what happens with hardware acceleration enabled, which seems better, second screenshot shows how it looks an alias with disabled acceleration with the race missing in some places on the very light fonts.

    However, when hardware acceleration is enabled, if I open very large images or batch of images on line at the same time, the browser window will flash white, all tabs will lose their favicons and you must restart the browser. For this reason, I try to keep disabled hardware acceleration, but use (or method) for the rendering of the fonts only, if such a thing is possible. Also, I want a fix for hardware acceleration, causing such behaviour, although it seems more difficult.

    ClearType and font smoothing are both on the channel. Disabling one of them makes the fonts still worse.

    Thanks in advance.

    In fact, I've corrected the problem. Gfx.direct2d.force layout compatible true was what it took.

  • Anti-aliasing

    Hi all as you can see, I have a few anti aliasing problems.  I use cs4 and the pen tool to draw this image, once I closed the way I do selection and anti-aliasing is checked and feather is 0.  I added a black line on the path to show the anti aliasing.  Anyone know how to get rid of the embattled edges?  Thank you

    http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/WhatNowThe2nd/Forums/header.png

    This does not really address the issue, but have you tried to use the path as a vector mask to a layer instead of create a selection?

  • Why Firefox is made of fonts while stairs and blocks, w/no anti-aliasing?

    FF 29.01 under Windows 7. You can see the image below the link to compare how browsers should make the fonts and how my browser actually renders the police. It is not a question of magnification. I have already installed the Anti-Aliasing Tuner extension. I added the layout.paint_rects_separately boolean as well.

  • Anti-aliasing in HTML text without embedding the fonts - possible?

    Hello

    I use CSS to style a dynamic textFiled compatible HTML in Flash. To save on the size of the SWF, I do not ship fonts but use the following CSS:

    var cssText:String = ' p {do-family: Verdana, Geneva, _without;} '. font size: 26px; color: #F5C080; make-Style: italic ;} « ;

    That should ensure police Verdana size is used on Windows and Geneva fonts on Mac platform without embedding the fonts.

    But is it possible to apply anti-aliasing?

    For some reason any

    antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
    gridFitType = GridFitType.PIXEL;
    Song.sharpness = - 400;

    doesn't seem to work at all, and large fonts looks irregular.

    Should I really police ship to operate anti-aliasing? It would be no fun!

    anti-aliasing has no effect unless you embed a font.

  • Which past now and not days ago = > publication of text captions with anti-aliasing off the coast looking for really bad.

    I reported the bellows of text and I'd like to know if it happens to someone else.

    Concise problem statement:

    When you publish buttons with text or text with antialiasing off the coast, the result is very bad.

    Last project I cancelled 2 months ago and it seems good. But when I did a few changes yesterday and I published it again all the buttons and links that they looked very bad.

    I tried with different computers, where they have installed captivate and I have reproduced the bug how I show below and in any place of same problem.

    I can't show the client the changes because the evil look textfields.

    I tried to reinstall all the options, Captivate and install older versions of flash and nothing plugin, everything looks the same. Probably a windows update may cause the problem, I don't know.


    Steps to reproduce the bug:
    1. black background or dark color
    2. create the button and select Properties
    3. Select the text color color yellow or clear, size of large font (24-30) and transparent background
    4 publish

    Results: no text no embattled arround White halo, eat as the text. The part of the text is a bit fuzzy.

    Resemble the translucent color part of the text to produce somehow anti-aliasing is white in color.

    Expected results: the net image as html on browser text.

    Hi again

    Well, it give a try.

    Minimize all applications that you can see the desktop.

    Right click on the desktop, then select Properties.

    Click the appearance tab.

    Click on the effects button.

    You see an option called use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts?

    If so, disable the option and click OK.

    Report back if you still have this option and, if so, if you erase it helps.

    See you soon... Rick

    When it comes to antivirus software, you want one and only one installed and running on your computer.  Two or more may come into conflict with eachother and degrade performance.  I advise you to uninstall Windows defender and use soley mse.

    also I strongly suggest that you avoid using "PC optimization" tools.  They can help a little, but they often do more harm than good.

    (1) Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32 bit only). Try to install ATM on any newer version of Windows can actually disable the ability of the rendering of Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts window, requiring a reinstall of Windows.

    (2) there is no need to use the ATM to install fonts on Windows.

    (3) the name of the file ._DIN-bold is indicative of a police of MacOS. These fonts may not be installed on Windows systems.

  • Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN fonts file extension appears not

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason, I can't install Adobe Type Manager on my computer.

    Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even to try to install it may corrupt your installation of operating system and its ability to make properly Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The latest version of Windows for which ATM was compatible at all was Windows XP, 32-bit only!

    Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, fonts, Type 1 on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the file of fonts for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the. PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the installation option.

    You try to install the font file is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.
