How to make Windows font looks like Mac OS X? - macos

I have IntelliJ IDEA on my PC for java programming language.
There is a font (Consolas) and I want to make it looks like Mac font but I don't know how
My font
Mac OS X font (I want the same)

I believe this issue occurs due to Windows rendering truetype differently and not up to the standard of Linux and Mac OS X.
Take a look at these 2 applications to adjust your fonts in Windows it should make a difference - http://www.askvg.com/how-to-get-mac-os-or-linux-style-font-smoothing-in-windows/
You can also change the Anti-aliasing settings within IntelliJ IDE.

Overlapped letters in QtCreator doc

I upgraded OS from Fedora Core 25 to FC26. After the upgrade, help system of Qt Creator does not shown correctly. Some part of documentation is overlapped and hard to read. Changing font style and font size does not help. Here is screenshot.
How I can correct it?

Display a text message on Desktop (OS X)

I would like to display a message, for example, the OS Version, the installed tool versions etc of my OS X on the desktop background.
I understand that the lockscreen text can be edited, I am not talking about that. That is not what I am interested in.
I know there is a way because I have seen my colleagues at my previous job do this.

Cannot get custom font to work in Corona

I've read the tutorials and related questions here but still no luck using a custom font.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine and I've performed the following steps:
Installed the Font (Print Clearly OT.otf)
Copied the otf file to the project directory (same directory as the main.lua)
Restarted the Corona simulator
Used this code to find the font name (Print Clearly OT) and add the build settings: http://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/01/16/faq-wednesday-custom-fonts/
Trying to use the font like:
lettertext = display.newText( "a", 40, 20, "Print Clearly OT", 24 )
Start up the simulator for ipad and I get "could not load font" message.
There was a comment on the link tutorial above, about otf files not working on windows but i assumed that was on a windows mobile device not in the ipad simulator on a windows system.
OTF fonts are not supported in Windows (like you can read at the link you provided) but you could use a ttf version of "Print Clearly OT" font, ttf fonts are supported in all systems.
The other solution is develop with a mac machine, Corona simulator will work better in this case but this solution is really expensive.
Corona SDK also uses the "Internal Font Name". The internal name could be different than the file name and the display name. It might be PrintClearly-Regular or something like that.
But likely it's the OTF's don't work on Windows.

Monotype Hadassah font doesn't display correctly under win 7

i recently installed fresh win 7 pro OS on brand new DELL i5 desktop machine. while trying to use word 2013, i noticed that text written in Monotype Hadassah font is displayed using Times new roman font.
is anybody noticed such an issue?
thanks.
after some experiments:
the fonts works OK in notepad - which means that probably the problem is in office 2013 and not in the OS itself.
since the font is registered as restricted with respect to the "embedding" ability i thought that it may be due to this restriction, but nevertheless, removing the restriction ( i recommend on TTFPatch utility didn't change the behaviour.
interestingly, i found that saving the document as PDF resulted in correct rendering of the
font - which is pretty satisfactory to me.

Qt 4.8.5 Mac Handle file dropping on dock icon

I'm porting some Qt apps to Mac OS. And have some questions because I have no experience in developing apps for Mac OS.
Where Applications usually save there settings in Mac OS?
How to handle file dropping on icon in dock?
Mac OS X applications typically save their settings in ~/Library/Preferences/ using an XML document called a Property List. If you use the QCoreApplication::setOrganization(..) et all methods, just use QSettings and your code will remain cross platform and do the right thing.
Handling file dropping on the application icon is a little more involved but there is already a pretty good answer and also a Qt Quarterly dealing with this problem. It will basically involve:
Setting up the Info.plist in the application bundle to identify what files types are handled by your application.
Subclassing QApplication to handle QEvent::FileOpen.
