Fix SSMS connection dialog font size - ssms

I've installed SSMS on my desktop and for some reason it's rendering fonts in the Connect to Server dialog at some tiny size. Is there a way to fix this?

Bypass Windows 10 'Untrusted Fonts' settings for a font used in our Website

Windows 10 has a feature to block any font outside the %windir%/Fonts directory from loading in a browser.
Our entire website (AEM + Apache webserver) uses a proprietary purchased font which is hence blocked in all PC's. Is there any way to bypass this setting so that the font loads seamlessly in all users.
We need to do something from AEM/Apache websrver/Akamai CDN end because any local changes will not be possible for end users to follow.
I didn't find much help online for this.
The documentation says - "By default, this feature is not turned on." so i would assume you are facing issues on company issued laptops that have this security feature enabled.
Depending on your fonts licensing you could choose to do following -
Use user-agent information to detect if the OS is windows 10
If Windows 10 is detected show an overlay with the link to download and install fonts
To let the font work with this setting, it is to install the font on each machine with the Untrusted font setting turned on and then declare the font with a fallback.
The second option would it be to whitelist the application, in this case, the browser to be whitelisted as explained in the Microsoft website here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/keep-secure/block-untrusted-fonts-in-enterprise
I had a similar issue, with Icomoon, but the concepts would be the same one: install the font in the system and then declare a fallback font.
This might help you in the process:

WebRTC Screen Sharing - Few windows go blank intermittently

I implemented the ShareScreen of Web RTC.
But when "Choose Share Screen" popup opens,few of the windows keep flickering and show blank content (black screen) most of the time. On selecting one of those windows and doing screen share, the peer also gets the same flickering.
Please help. I have attached the image link which shows the problem https://webrtc.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=43840000000&name=Screenshot.png&token=ABZ6GAdcyh_dpvmXdbR02t3LX72wbfE4Qg%3A1425623918522&inline=1

Please check your signalling server. This error occurs only when something wrong in your signalling server. Similar kind of error occured to me. I used nodeJS. Sometimes handshakes may be established, but data have to be transferred for sharing.
For instance check whether the request and response is prompt.
This is a known issue in Chrome on Windows:

Try to migrate to FF or to Linux...

RDWeb Icons not displaying properly

I have created a remote app program using RDWeb and I can access the program correctly, however the icon is the default Remote Desktop icon and not the .ico file I linked the program to.
I have added several other programs which all work fine and display the correct icons, they come from the same directory.
I was wondering what could cause this issue, some other forums have suggested RDWEB access group not having write permissions on the C:\Windows\web\RDWeb\Pages\rdp, although checking through the local user manager, this group does not exist.
Is this an issue with resolution or permissions?
If anyone is experiencing the same issue I have found an answer.
For whatever reason RDWeb was resolving to the default PNG image (mstsc25632x32),this is located in the C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\rdp directory.
Removing this allowed my RemoteApp to reference the correct icon and display properly.

Air for iOS config panel closes when I click another tab on Flash CS6 on Windows

Whenever I try to edit configuration in Air (desktop, android or iOS) and I click in another tab, Flash loses focus and the config windows closes. I have googled for anything similiar but I haven't found anything.
Does anybody knows if this is a known issue, or if there is another way to add icons, certificates and permissions in Flash CS6.
Thanks everybody!

Getting Crystal to properly embed TT fonts in a PDF

Has anyone run into problems getting Crystal XI to embed fonts when displaying reports via the web (served by RAS) and then exporting to PDF? We have a barcode font that we use in a few reports, and it worked fine via the web viewer and when exporting to PDF. When we moved our reporting server from a 2000 box to a 2003 box, the font is no longer exported. It does display properly in the html viewer, but when you export it to PDF to print, the PDF doesn't contain the font. The True Type font is installed on the new server, with scandalously lenient permissions, and the font is installed on all the client machines. Is there no way to start Crystal in some sort of "debug" mode where it will emit info on what it is doing?
(Edited to specify that it is only when exporting to PDF through a page served by RAS that the font is not embedded)
So far I've come across some info that doesn't help me but might help others with similar symptoms:
One issue that can arise is that Crystal won't embed fonts that have DRM on them. See this utility to remove DRM if need be. Microsoft also has a utility to tell you more than you ever wanted to know about your true type fonts, including their "embeddable" status. Sadly, my fonts are already embeddable so this did not help me.
EDIT: FOUND SOLUTION!
The solution here worked for me. The relevant part was this:
On the Windows 2003 PC open Control
Panel, and double click on Regional
and Language Options. Click on the
Language Tab and check on Install
Fonts for complex scripts.... Now
click on the Advanced tab and in
Default user account settings check on
apply all settings....
For the folks stuck with this problem on Windows 2008, I got barcodes working after I did the following:
Install the Crystal Runtime.
Open the fonts folder and select "Font Settings." Make sure the "Hide fonts based on language settings" option is not checked.
Make sure you have a 3 of 9 barcode font installed on the server and its "Font Embeddability" is "Installable". Also make sure the file is not blocked.
Set your "Load User Profile" setting under the App Pool Advanced Settings to True.
After after doing the above and rebooting, my barcodes started to work.
On our Windows Server 2012 R2 - only a reboot required after installing our (DRM-appropriate) font. That is with runtime 13_0_15.
Why you still have to reboot after installing a font is a question for the ages.
Windows Server 2008 supposedly already has fonts for complex scripts enabled according to the article here.
The option "Advanced tab and in Default user account settings check on apply all settings" setting is similar in Server 2008 but you can select Default User And and / or System accounts.
This solution worked on Server 2003 and we are testing it on Server 2008. Note that on Server 2003 we had to perform a complete system restart in order for the changes to take affect.
