Sheetmusic - Noteheads doesn't render correctly (font-issue?)

[saebekassebil]

Hi guys,

Here's a bug that has been annoying me for quite some time now, and I'm not really sure what the problem is. My guess is that it's a font-issue, but I though you'd had them fixed? Anyway, the document is mine and I don't claim it anything but copyleft.

btw: Is there some specific tool you use to inspect the pdf-files? So that I could try to look into such issues myself?

[gigaherz]

I just tried it and it seems to work fine here. I'd suggest you try with the newest build available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ or http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi (probably newer, more experimental too)

And if it still doesn't work, specify which browser (name and version) and operating system (name, version, platform) you use, so the devs can narrow down the possible issues.

EDIT: the newest version appears to be at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/versions/ it doesn't show up in the main page (probably didn't pass the verification process)

saebekassebil: i've seen a few sheet music problems like this -- do you know which music notation program was used to create this?

Hmmm... i don't see any issue on my computer as well. Could you provide the description of the defect and/or screenshot, as well as the info about OS and browser as well?

[saebekassebil]

Windows 7, Firefox 9.0.1 Release, I'm on the latest commit on my mozilla branch, and it doesn't work there either. @wfwalker I've created this with Sibelius, @notmasteryet http://minus.com/mZVuEAXW2

[notmasteryet]

Unable to replicate on my Windows 7, Firefox 9.0.1 / pdf.js 0.2.118.

@saebekassebil it's possible, please post the information from the about:support page (filter the sensitive info, so at least Graphics section)

[saebekassebil]

Hmm very weird. My about:support graphics section (Danish, with some translation):

My DirectX version is 11, if that has anything to do with it.

but: I've just followed some instructions for activating Direct2D for Firefox, and now it works - well at least sort of, 'cause I can now see the noteheads, but all text is rendered in bold now, and somewhat not as good as before, so I think I'll change it back. Btw.: I'm now using Firefox 10.0, though I don't think it has anything to do with the change.

The instructions I followed can be found here: http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-direct2d-directwrite-hardware-acceleration-in-mozilla-firefox/

EDIT: Yea just checked, the issue is, when toggling between DirectWrite enabled config setting - per default it's false, but when enabling it, the score renders fine, but all text seems cluttered and bold or the opposite very thin?

opgrading you driver to version 10.6 or newer

Could you upgrade the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 driver to the newer version?

My DirectX version is 11, if that has anything to do with it

Maybe. DirectX on my computer is 10, and both DirectWrite and Direct2D is true.

P.S. See also https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers

[saebekassebil]

Ahh, thanks! Upgrading my driver was fantastic, wasn't aware that a new version had been released. It works well on Firefox 10.0 now, except some missing symbols! All rests with a lower value than a crotchet and minim noteheads are not rendered!

Another thing is, that noteheads aren't rendered in Chrome, nor in Nightly

[notmasteryet]

Could you check again if #1110 fixes that?

[saebekassebil]

It doesn't, sorry.

[notmasteryet]

The issue fixed by #1244

[saebekassebil]

Indeed fixed, thanks!
