Vityag from archive

Often, files taken from the Internet are packed into a special folder - archives (for example, with the extension .rar or .7z). It is worth trying to save space on the server and change traffic.

Sob pratsyuvati s instead of such objects it is necessary to unpack them. For whom zastosovuetsya special programs - archivators. Since there is no such software on your personal computer, it is necessary to install it.

The font in Windows is the way of displaying letters and characters. The font should sound vitrimanian in a single stylistic system.

The main characteristics of a font are size, contrast, width, typeface, contrast, baseline, etc. The same fonts are used to understand the same, like the size, kerning and tracking.

The combination of showing these characteristics creates a unique, not similar font.

Different fonts have become available to those who are already in the first versions of Windows.

Difficulty with fonts in Windows XP

Incorrect font rendering does not load the operating system and in no way affects the stable operation of the computer, however, it creates a lot of other inaccuracies for the koristuvach. Problems with fonts are blamed after installation of other programs, after automatic updates, etc. Rich koristuvachіv in the hearts reinstall Win, prote ¾ and less radical ways to solve the problem. We will tell you about them.

The installation of mov in the system is correct. For whom the next path is predicted: "Start", "Control Panel", "Date, hour, language ...". Select the tab "Regional parameters" = >>> "Modern standards ...", according to the language - "Russian". In "roztashuvanny" we indicate our country.

• "Movie" tab, expanded "Movie and text services", press "report". In viknі, revіryаєmo, chi vіdpovіdaє russian movі russian keyboard at the “Parameters” tab, split “Installed services”. Take it away by pressing "OK".
• Distributed "moving programs that don't support Unicode". Open the "dodatkovo" tab, in it select "Russian". Let's take a change.

If the settings in Win XP are turned on on the computer, then the problem can be fixed through the system registry. Fight like this.

1. Run "registry editor".
2. Dalі - razgortaєmo needle: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Nls CodePage.
3. Expanded "CodePage" to achieve a large number of parameters. Among them, we need to know "1250" and "+1252". With the left button of the mouse and the girls on the first of them. Guilty in the window "Change of the string parameter". In "values" change "c_1250.nls" to "c_1251.nls". We take the result. Similarly, in "one thousand two hundred and fifty two" "1251" is inserted

After this, the problem with the correct display of fonts in Win XP is to blame.

At this lesson, I’ll tell you about the screen smoothing of fonts, this is the name of the technology (in English. "Clean Font") - a method of smoothing text on different types of computer monitors (especially on LCDs), based on SubPixel Rendering technology, registered by Microsoft Corporation.

Є raznі dumki і superechki z drive ієї tekhnologii. Ale, yak on me, I’m quiet on the boots, who swears at her and makes a clear priority. Especially less eye, if technology is not included. Since I often have to sit at the computers of my clients, I remember that rich people have their method of smoothing not inclusions, but if I turn on yoga with them , note that when we turn on the font, it looks more pleasing to the eye.

The screenshots below show how to enable yoga in the Windows XP operating system, in Windows 7 it is included for locking.

On the working table, on an empty space, we press the right button of the mouse and select the item authority. Show up dialogue window, as it is called Power: Screen . Select the tab formalized. And then in the lower part we press on the button.

ClearType Inclusions

As this information was basic for you, please write your thoughts in the comments, I will be your friend.

Often after the installation on the computer of some add-ons, their Russification, updates, etc., fonts are displayed incorrectly in the windows of these add-ons, as well as in the windows of the operating system itself. As a rule, it doesn’t show up on the stability of the robotic computer, but then I create a bunch of non-handed coristuvachs, shards in windows instead of letters look like hieroglyphs, squares, numbers and other nezrozumіlі їm symbols. It is simply impossible to work on such a computer most of the time.

Significant part of the coristuvachiv solve the problem radically - reinstall Windows, or bring the computer into the main. If you often want to see the situation that has developed, you can make it easier. Obviously, the author’s method of proponing is not a panacea, but in the greater part of the way, he overcomes the problem.

For the cob perekonaytes in the correctness of nalashtuvannya mov and regional standards:

(Points in the arches can be different)

• on the “Regional parameters” tab: in the “Modern standard formats” section, “Russian” is indicated; in the "Roztashuvannya" branch - your country;

If on the computer the appointments were already fixed, or since there were no problems with the fonts being modified, it is necessary to make changes to the registry.

The system registry is an important element of the operating system. Also:
1. Don’t change anything else in the new parameters, as you are not convinced of the correctness of your actions!
2. Before zdіysnennyam podіy dіy obov'yazkovo to create a copy of the registry! Її you can be victorious for updating the system registry in times of vindication of any problems after the change.
To make a copy of the system registry start "Registry Editor", For which the "Vikonati" item is selected in the "Start" menu. At the left bottom corner of the screen, the “Program start” window will appear. Enter the word regedit in the new one and press the OK button. In "Registry Editor", in the "File" menu, select "Export". In the "Export to registry file" window, indicate the place of saving, to the copy file of the registry, in the "Registry range" section (at the bottom of the window) it is indicated by the "Entire registry" checkbox, the "Save" button is embossed.

To solve the problem with fonts in Windows XP, you need to change the value of the parameters "1250" and "two thousand and fifty two", as they are in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage registry, from "c_1250.nls" to "c_1251.nls" i from "c_1252.nls" to "c_1251.nls" is correct.

Yak tse robiti:

• Run "Registry Editor").

• Sequentially opening the folders in the left part of the Registry Editor, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage folder. (Se means that you need to open the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” folder in the folder, open the “SYSTEM” folder in it, “CurrentControlSet” in it, etc.)

• If you get to the “CodePage” distribution and see it in the left part of the “Registry Editor”, in the right part you will appear to get a decent list of parameters. It is necessary to know the middle parameters "1250" and "twenty-two-fifty-two". Then the two girls click on the first of them with the left button of the mouse. The window "Change a string parameter" appears. There, at the end of the "Value", "c_1250.nls" should be changed to "c_1251.nls" and press the "OK" button (div. Fig.). After that, by a similar procedure, we change the value of the parameter “one thousand two hundred and fifty-two” from “c_1252.nls” to “c_1251.nls”. Press the "OK" button and restart the computer.

If the problem with incorrect font selection is to be blamed for the reloading.
