Distorted font in safari webpages

all of a sudden, whenever i go on safari, the font becomes distorted. usually when i browse through the web, the text are usually black and a bit darker, however, recently the text seems to become lighter and sometimes it gets annoy. can someone please help me with this problem? i did not download any new fonts or anything as well.

i tried the link you gave me, validate the fonts and fix the duplicate. but the font still looks a bit faded and distorted. here's an example:
i screenshot the before and after picture.

AFTER

If you compare it, the texting or font in safari seems to fade its color.
can you tell me what seems to be the problem? is it the resolution or screen problem? or maybe its a bug in safari?

  • Garbage fonts in Safari

    I've read through the previous posts on this subject, but none of the solutions seem to work in my case. In Safari, some of the webpages or parts of the webpages come up with garbage text. I've taken a screen shot of one particular site, but I'm not able to attach it here. All of the system fonts are in order in System/Library Fonts. There are also fonts in Library/Fonts and in User/Admin/Library/Fonts. Of course some of the applications also have their own font folders, too.
    I thought the problem was with Helvetica, but I've turned off all but the dfont in the System/Library/Fonts folder.
    I've been struggling with this problem off and on for a couple of years. I'm losing patience! Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Eam1,
    Welcome to  Discussions.
    Two years is a long time to deal with this text/font issue!
    Helvetica Fractions & Times Phonetic are best removed.
    How do the fonts in Safari display in an other user or test account?
    Consider testing Safari in an other account, if you do not have another account, create a test account
    Under the Blue Apple ->System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options, click on the padlock to unlock secure items, use the [+] to add an account,
    you could enter test in all the fields, short name will be generated for you.
    In Log in Options you can check the Enable fast user switching, alternately
    Log Out from your account, & into the test account that you created.
    This can help us determine if this is a system wide issue or isolated to your user name account.
    Read Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X see the required fonts to be used for Safari & this Font Finagler can find any corrupt fonts you may have.
    I hope you get it sorted, keep us posted.

  • How to permanently stop Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher process?

    Since the Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher process takes up to 10% of my CPU on occasion and and it uses bandwidth and it's just dumping loads of images into ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/Webpage Previews is there a way to permanently stop this process from ever starting up again?
    I've blocked it with Little Snitch to see if it that stops it but I don't think it has. Has anyone successfully stopped this process for the long term?

    i'd like to permanently stop that as well.

  • The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

    The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font.  How do I change the font back?  I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back!  I'm running Safari v5.1.7

    OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
    First Quit Safari.
    Then Find your User's (Home) folder library. 
    It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
    Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu.  Then go up to  "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
    You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
    Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
    Restart Safari.
    Any better?
    (Warning:  This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder.  Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.) 

  • How to Change the FONT in Safari?

    Hi
    I'm using a Macbook and using the latest version of Safari in it.
    Of late, my fonts have changed. And even after changing them to my desired fonts (through Safari Preferences), I could not view the pages in Changed fonts.
    For Example, my gmail account was getting displayed in Verdana. And now, its in some obscure font - which is not chosen in preferences. This is not getting changed even after changes made to Preferences. Also, there is no change in the Text Encoding.
    I have tried the time tested method of removing Safari and reinstalling the same. Still, I'm facing the same problem.
    Someone please help.

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions....
    You may have duplicate or corrupted fonts.

  • How to change fonts in Safari 8.0?

    Hello, I have Yosemite and Safari 8.0 and cannot figure out how to change fonts in Safari and leave the fonts in other applications unchanged? And I don't care about the menus, but the content of web pages. Could someone please help me solve the problem?

    You don't without using custom css sheets. The web site developers specify the fonts to be used.

  • Font in Safari got changed, how do i change it back?

    How do I revert to the original font in Safari.  It somehow got changed 2 OS's ago and I don't know how to change it back.  It's currently a very distracting font that is hard to read.

    Apple decided to trash that preference in their now basically useless iOSified Safari 6 incarnation. Now, you have to revert to using the Terminal to restore eminently useful preference settings.
    Ronald P. Regensburg wrote at MacInTouch:
    This works in Safari 6. You may need to empty caches (enable Develop menu in Safari 6—another useless change to previous behavior) to see the result and remove the css setting (to "nothing selected"). Font names with spaces need to be between quotation marks.
    Full example for proportional font:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2StandardFontFamily 'Lucida Grande'
    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFontSize 14
    Full example for fixed width font:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2FixedFontFamily Monaco
    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFixedFontSize 11

  • Garbled Text/Odd font in Safari since updating to Tiger.  Java related?

    I seem to be having a problem with Safari since I updated to Tiger.
    I'm running Safari 2.0.3, and have been encountering problems with garbled text in a strange font when Safari loads certain pages. The text often overlaps making it impossible to read.
    A friend thinks it might be Java related. I've tried clearing the cache and resetting Java, but it hasn't helped.
    Here's a screenshot example: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/tashamay/Picture2.jpg
    On the Petfinder.com page specifically, if I go directly to their home site everything is fine, but once I try and search the results come up all messed up.
    I also have a problem with it when I try andl log into gmail. "Loading" comes up on the screen in the garbled text font as if it's trying to load an applet, but nothing happens. I eventually get the spinning rainbow of death and have to force quit.
    Any ideas?

    Hello tashamay:
    I am not an expert in font issues, but you may have corrupt fonts. Open "font book.' Select all and run resolve duplicates. Then select all and run validate fonts. I also have read that Helvetica fractional fonts have caused some rendering problems.
    I would also clear the Safari cache again.

  • Fonts in Safari

    I recently upgraded to Leopard and I'm having a problem with fonts in Safari. What usually would appear as Trebuchet or Times is appearing as some strange font. I remember having this problem before Leopard (about 6 months ago) but cannot remember how I fixed it. And ideas?

    Does just disabling (rather than removing/trashing) potentially offending fonts work? I'm trying to solve this problem in a friend's 15-year-old-daughter's iBook, but i don't really want to arouse teenage ire by trashing all the grafitti-like fonts she's installed, and it'd take me too long to actually match exactly the font that's causing the problem (there's so many, and they're so similar). I'd rather just disable them all and let HER add them back in one at a time until the bad one is found.
    ps, upgrading the OS does seem to trigger this; in this case, it was going from Panther to Tiger that triggered it.

  • How do I show Safari webpage from my apple computer to appletv

    I just bought apple tv and am trying to display the safari webpage from my MacBook onto the apple tv monitor.  I tried selecting the airplay in my itunes account but that doesn't seem to help with Safari.  Any advise?  Thanks

    Hi caleb979!
    The best way to show a page from Safari on your Apple TV will be by using Airplay Mirroring. I have an article for you that can help you understand more about Airplay Mirroring, and it can be found right here:

  • Incorrect Fonts When "Printing" Webpage to .pdf

    When I "print" a webpage to a .pdf file, I occasionally get an incorrect font.  For example, if I print a Wikipedia page, the font in the saved file will be Times New Roman.  The font on the webpage looks to be Arial.  I'm assuming it is a setting in the Adobe Printer preferences.  I just can't seem to find the right setting.  Any help is appreciated.

    If the web page does not have a printable view option (a print button or printer icon that you can click on), then it is formatted for screen only. These types of sites often do not print nicely. The only alternative, is to try and select the parts that you want to print and then copy and paste them into a word processor or text editor for printing.

  • Dynamic Fonts in Safari

    Is there any way I can make safari work to display dynamic fonts? there are few regional newspaper websites that use such fonts and safari is not displaying the contents of those websites properly....for example:
    www.anandabazar.com
    Any help on this would be very much appreciated...
    Regards,
    Rudra

    How would I confirm what font the website
    is using?
    I gave you the name. I found it by doing View > Page Source.
    Where do I download the font from?
    I did a search but could not find it anywhere for download. You could email the site and ask them. It might be that some other non-Unicode Bengali font would work. Sorry I don't have time right now to download them a try them out.
    I suspect this particular site may be a hopeless case.
    Dynamic fonts are an old, essentially Windows-only technology used mainly by some Asian sites which do not have the knowledge or technology to shift to Unicode, where everyone with any kind of computer can easily download the fonts being used, for example from:

  • Runaway PubSubAgent & Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher

    Hi-- I'm on 10.6.2 still (well, again, because 10.6.3 killed my Pro Tools system), and PubSubAgent regularly starts to runaway with ~97% of my processor. I kill it with Activity Monitor & all's well again for a while, until it decides it's the most important thing on my computer again a few hours later.
    I gather this is a part of Mail, related to RSS feeds? Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can calm it down?
    I also get this same problem with the Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher sometimes, though less often.
    thanks
    ~peter in oakland

    Turn off RSS feeds.

  • Safari webpage preview fetcher high CPU usage, runs hot Macbook Pro, fan

    Even when turned off in Safari Preferences, safari webpage preview fetcher starts up and starts using high CPU % (99.8% when checked on Activity Monitor!). Macbook starts running hot, fan starts running on high. You can force quit safari webpage preview fetcher in Activity Monitor, but it starts itself back up again!

    Well, I disabled safari webpage preview in preferences, and rebooted, zapping the pram and it hasn't restarted, and I haven't had the high fan / hot running so yay!
