So yeah, tested new font files and I get the same poo poo: Screen on the right is Win7 with Office 2010 and the font installed. Font is embedded in the document (file size is 1.7mb) and the screen on the left is when I open it in a Win XP VM running 2007. But I'm getting the same result if I open it on Win 7/Office 2010 without the font installed on the system and server 2008 with Office 2007. What a load of goofy horseshit.

I have no idea then. Keep in mind VM's aren't always reliable for comparison because they run in a lower bit depth which makes anti-aliasing & kerning look like rear end. (Unless they've resolved this?)

The font and spacing are completely different, not just aliasing. Look at the "P" and "Y", that provides a good reference. And I was recreating this on non-vm systems. I just did it this way so I could grab a side by side screenshot.

Minion Pro is another Adobe OpenFont with PostScript outlines and it behaves the same way. I also pulled down a goofy free OpenFont called CombiNumberals. Again, it is PostScript outlined and behaved the same way. OpenFont with TrueType outlines work perfectly everywhere.

I really can't blame Adobe for this one as much as I want to. It should be up to Office to see that the OTF (a format which it says it supports and developed jointly with Acrobat) contains a PostScript outline and it won't work correctly unless it is installed locally. The whole thing just really sucks balls because someone high up said that Myriad was going to be our standard for corporate branding and communications and "It is a default font, so compatibility won't be a problem". loving wrong, so wrong. And they only came to that conclusion because all the computers in their office have Creative Suite installed. And now I'm going to have to spend hours barking up the chain to figure out who made this call and explaining to them font format, licensing restrictions, and format interoperability. loving kill me.

Anyone have any idea why one windows 7 box randomly stops seeing another's shared folder? I did this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=63123 to set everything up via SMB, and I have permissions open to read with anyone on the network.

I currently have a Radeon 4870 and have ordered a GeForce GTX570. When you change companies, I was under the impression that you needed to run something like Driver Sweeper to remove the old drivers. However, it looks like Guru 3D has discontinued it. I found a link on CNET, but that one seems to have add-on freeware crap. Is Driver Sweeper still the app of choice to remove graphics drivers? Is there something else? If it matters, Win 7 x64

raezr posted:I've never removed a driver ever during all my hardware changes. Should I? Windows will uninstall the drivers from active use when the device is gone but it will keep it in a the driver cache for a while in case you use it again. It doesn't hurt anything to leave them there, unless you're pressed for storage. Now, obviously, for example, if you had an ATI card and Catalyst installed and you switch to Nvidia cards you should uninstall Catalyst just because it's useless, but no need to worry about drivers.

I'm having trouble with id3 tags in Windows 7. I have a bunch of v2.4 tags that Windows/Media Player can't read or won't touch. I've deleted the 2.4 tags on a folder and then taken the info out of the 1.1 tags and put them into 2.3 but still nothing. I'm also thinking that some program, possibly iTunes has been bumping the tags up to 2.4 because it's happened to songs that were working fine previously. Any ideas? (please don't just say "use foobar2k or itunes") Edit: removing the id3v2 tags works, but it's not ideal. Just wondered if anyone had found a real fix to this issue yet. Edit2: now the above isn't helping, tagit makes the changes, WiMP recognizes it and they revert back somehow breaking it again. As soon as I close media player and reopen it, the changes are undone.

Start -> Devices and Printers -> Right click on printer -> Printer Properties. That renames what the PC calls it; renaming the printer itself requires admin login to the printer.

Be sure you select Printer Properties and not just Properties, and then press the Change Properties button:

I'll add that using that screen I can change the name of printers directly connected to my PC, but not printers connected to my housemates' PCs that are shared over the network.

Try browsing to the server (\\diskstation or whatever) and see if there's a "Printers and Faxes" folder. If there is, you should be able to rename it in there. If there isn't, you'll have to somehow do it directly on the device, or increase your permissions on the share.

I tried to rename the printer from the Synology Control Panel, but there's no option to do that. Unless there's a sneaky way to do it by sshing into the box, it doesn't seem possible.

Can't you download Windows Vista images from Microsoft somewhere? My Dell Vostro obviously came with Windows (Vista Home Basic 32-bit, to be specific) and has the COA + key on the case, but I lost the DVD when I moved. I will probably go search my parents basement where I put a bunch of my stuff, but I'd rather just download and burn a DVD. I thought for sure you could do this with at least Windows 7.

Well, I discovered a workaround... You can't rename the printer if you add it from the network. However, you can install the printer as a local one on LPT1:, then add a Local Port with the UNC name of the printer share. In my case, it was \\Diskstation\usbprinter1

I don't see a thread about IE9, so... is there a way to increase the number of sites in the address bar. In IE8 there was about 15, but now there's only 5 (excluding the history and favorites), and I can't find an option to change it.

Is there a killer feature to any of the major multi-platform IM clients? I've used Trillian, Miranda, Pidgin, Digsby, and more in the past couple years and I was using Raptr until it's in-game overlay stopped being useful  Anyone speak to either their personal preference, or at least any super cool features unique to any of them? I'd prefer something that mostly works out of the box (so no Miranda unless the team running it decided the default skin shouldn't look like rear end). I'm on Windows, btw.

I was just wondering if maybe someone made some insane plugin for Pidgin or something when I wasn't paying attention.

I'm trying to find a desktop e-mail client that can display e-mails in a gmail-kind of way. The reason why I want this is because I usually have my browser with my personal e-mail account, while I set up thunderbird, or whatever the gently caress is the Mozilla mail client now to my work account. Any suggestions? I've tried GeeMail, which runs on Adobe AIR, but it didn't really work properly. There was also a thunderbird plugin that did the same, but it was awful. If you don't know any client that does this, what's your favorite mail client, and why?

You can only activate Office on two computers, one of which has to be a portable device (though I doubt it checks that). If you're trying to transfer Office to a new computer, you'll have to call support and get them to activate it for you.

The key in question has only ever been activated on my laptop, which is where I'm currently trying to activate it, which has had no hardware changes aside from a RAM upgrade since the last time I installed it. It does bear pointing out that this is a technet key; do those ever expire or something?

This might belong in its own thread but, take a shot here first: I've got a handful of "Basic EFS" certificates showing up in the certificate snap-in on my backup Windows DC which is running the AD CS role. This is something I didn't set up myself, and we're looking to decom that server soon. It seems few (6-7 users) have certs issued. As far as I've been able to determine so far, these users aren't actively encrypting any files. Is there some way I can determine why or how these certificates are being issued and track them down? I don't want to kill the server and find out that there are some unrecoverable encrypted files on some workstations. Anyone have any ideas?
