Flash changes font-weight in Safari

When trying to determine what font youtube uses for their descriptions, I find an answer until I widdled their code down to this.
http://pastebin.com/Hup85r6J
I have a screen shot of Safari 6.0.2 rendering this page on OSX 10.8.2. It was taken on a retina screen, that's why it's so large.
http://postimage.org/image/ly1nvpz0l/
As you can see the second line of text seems to have a smaller font-weight than the first line and I was wondering if anyone could tell me why. If you remove the flash object or change any of the CSS, the text will be the same.
Thanks,
Chad

alright, also, I saw that in those instructions it tells me to delete these:
<home directory>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player
<home directory>/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash\ Player
now I can't find any of that stuff but I did find two files called com.macromedia.Flash Player.plugin.sb
in the library sub folders. should I delete them?

How to change font size in Safari?

Why is it when I set my fonts inside Safari to say, 18 for standard and 18 for fixed. It doesn't display that way. I keep getting the tiny font that I've always used.

The font size you specify in the Preferences (18 for standard) will be used only if the font size is not specified by the web page. Nowadays most of webpages (including this Discussions) specify fonts and sizes to use in the CSS file, and the setting in the Preferences will be ignored.
As andyBall writes, you can set the minimum size of fonts in Safari-Preferences-Advanced. But the results may not satisfy you (wrong line spacings etc.).
In the same Preferences, you can specify your own CSS file, as explained in the following post by Tom Gewecke:
Re: Setting default font size doesn't stick
But here again, line spacings etc. are not adjusted correctly. To write a detailed personal CSS file by yourself is very tedious, if not impossible.
As you might know, you can enlarge the fonts (and spacings) by hitting "command +" (press-hold the command key and hit the + key, or the = key; it seems you need not to press the shift key). I will be very pleased if someone tells me how to make this "enlarged" state the default.

Hi, sorry to say, but OSX can't do that.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

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.

Changing fonts in Safari 6

The font settings are gone from Safari's Preferences. How am I supposed to change the font?

https://discussions.apple.com/message/19052289
I have created three separate Style Sheets, named Calibri.css, Lucida Grande.css and Trebuchet.css.
The code for all three style sheets appears below, separated by dashes -- create a new file in TextEdit, make it a TXT file (as opposed to a RTF file), select text from /* to } and copy and paste to your new text file, save it as *.css (* being the name you want to use). You can change the font to any you have installed.
Then, simply go to Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced and choose which style sheet you want to apply. I have customised my Toolbar to show the small/large A/A to change font size. Perhaps some kind soul can add to the code below to force a fixed sized font.
Alternatively, look for a Safari Extension called HelveticaTheWorld and force all pages to be displayed in Helvetica (the ugliest font ever invented).

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

You can't in Safari.
However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
(note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

Can you post a screenshot showing the problem. You can select the cell(s) then adjus the formatting as needed using the Cell format tool on the right.

Font-weight:bold; - works in firefox, safari, internet explorer 6 BUT NOT ie7

font-weight bold; on an external css style sheet is working in every browser (INCLUDING ie6) but NOT ie7?
I just don't get it. It even works in ie6.
NOTE:   One thing I should mention is that I have a conditional Internet Explorer statement, for a Internet Explorer-specific style sheet that targets ie6 and ie7.
But I don't think that's the issue because every other style is working properly EXCEPT font-weight:bold. This is absolutely maddening.
I tried searching around for solutions and the only lead i found was writing [ font-weight:bold !important; ] using that '!important' statement I thought would somehow force ie7 to acknowledge it. But no dice. It failed.
Here is the accursed code:
#date {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold !important;   /*   bold not showing up in ie7 !!! */
font-size:.85em;   /* Is font-size affecting bold in ie7 ?? - was 85% */
color:#000000;
text-transform:uppercase;
margin-bottom:-.75em;
margin-top:6em;
Again, it works in every browser, including ie6...BUT NOT in IE7.
Any help will keep me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

So it's still not BOLD in ie7.
- My css is validated.
- My HTML still shows 19 errors with 3 warnings, which is down from 31 errors with 3 warnings.
• Although most of these errors are directly from the 'Active Content' JavaScript that Dreamweaver places within your HTML when you insert Flash SWF files on your page. So I don't think I can even correct that.
• The next series of errors concern the P element. Which I think are because in 5 Paragraphs in a row, I gave them each the same relationship attribute (rel="lightbox[blog02]"). Why else would these paragraphs come up as errors when every other paragraph is perfectly fine? The errors the validator says are happening, aren't happening. It says that certain P tags aren't closed and it's not true, I can see with my own eyes that they are. I think the 'rel' values are confusing the validator?
All the major errors I took care of though. I replaced all the repeating ID attributes with CLASS attributes. I really thought that would have done it, but no. However, at least I'm no longer getting ID errors when attempting to validate.
So now I'm stumped.
I have no clue what to do next with something I thought would be so simple. I mean give me a break. I'm just trying to BOLD a line of text...smh.
So currently every browser, including the illicit ie6, shows the BOLD...BUT NOT IE7.
Sorry for the all caps, it's just so ridiculous to me.
Although I learned that validating your styles and sites is an important step in publishing your site. I also learned how to properly use ID and CLASS attributes.
However if anyone out there can point me in the right direction, it would still be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Problems with "font-weight"

Hello,
I am changing the "font-weight" in Dreamweaver CS3 using the Arial font by:
.style1 {
          color: #bcbcbc;
          font-size: 16px;
          font-weight: 100;
          font-family: Arial;
The font weight is changing in Dreamweaver but when I preview the site in Safari or Firefox it is still thicker...The font-weight will not change.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Chris

Actually bold is 600.

Flash Player keeps failing in safari

I am using mac OS X Yosemite.
For some unknown reason flash keeps failing in safari, but works in chrome. I can't seem to resolve this issue, This is what I tried so far from answers I received in the apple support forums:
If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
We have also run diagnostics on my mac but could not resolve this and eventually I was told the only thing left to do is seek support from adobe.
Please help!

alright, also, I saw that in those instructions it tells me to delete these:
<home directory>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player
<home directory>/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash\ Player
now I can't find any of that stuff but I did find two files called com.macromedia.Flash Player.plugin.sb

Bold Font issues in Safari

Since installing leopard on my Mac Pro Quad my safari highlight font has changed to a really Black Condensed font like Helvetica Compressed or Inserat, not sure which, and the letterspacing is really tight making it illegible most of the time.
I can’t read most of the headlines etc... on most sites when the text is below 20pt.
Please help cant work out why!!!
It doesn’t do it in Camino etc.. just Safari!

Fixed it now found so older forum fixes.
I completely removed all the fonts from my suitcase which cleared any font conflicts rebooted safari and suitcase and it didn’t fix it. But restarted the Mac and it did so make sure you reboot the machine afterwards!
Thanks

Can I change font on slideshows?

I have been using the default Travel slideshow template for throwing up photos.
The problem is that in the slideshow viewer, the text is pretty much illegibly small. I just want to make the size larger. The slideshow seems to have it's own setting for fonts since the font and size are totally different from on the actual page itself.
I know that if I hit Shift-cmd-+ it makes the font bigger, but it's tough to explain that to everyone, windows and mac, etc.
If there's anyway to change that I'd love to know.
many thanks
enzosf

Enzo,
I assume you are talking about font size for the caption in the default, non-.Mac SlideShow, and not the captions in the Travel Photos template. To change the font size of the default non-.Mac SlideShow, after you publish your site from iWeb to a folder, you must open the "SlideShow.html" page, which is in the "SlideShow_assets" folder, using a text editor. If you use TextEdit, open up the TextEdit Preferences window (from the TextEdit menu), then click on "Open and Save" and make sure to check the "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files" button; also go down to the selection option menu of "Opening files:" which is right under "Plain text file encoding" and change it from "Automatic" to "Unicode (UTF-8)"; you should probably do that also for the "Saving files:" part too.
Now, with the SlideShow.html page opened in TextEdit, you will see the following at the top of the html code, right after the line with the page title:
< style type="text/css">
.caption {text-align:center;color:black;font-size:10px;font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;}
You can change the font size here (I marked it in bold italics above), I find changing it to "font-size:18px;" works well.
Hope that helps,
Bob

App. Express -- Change font size in the item label.

I would like to size the item label so I did this and it did not work
in the label I put <span style="font-size:12px;">ITEM 1</span> and
<span style="font-weight:bold;">ITEM 1</span>
What wrong?

Hello,
The basic “trick” here is to duplicate the proper label template (you can of course change the original label template, but that’s less advisable) in order to add an ID to the text/link part.
In my example, the template is base on the “Optional Label with Help” template, and the “Before Label” field contains the following:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" tabindex="999"><a class="t2OptionalwithHelp" id="L_#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" href="javascript:popupFieldHelp('#CURRENT_ITEM_ID#','&SESSION.')" tabindex="999">In order to maintain ID uniqueness, the new ID just adds “L_” to the item name.
Now I have direct access to the text/link, and I can manipulate it using JavaScript. In the example, I added the following to the region footer:
<script type="text/javascript">
$x('L_P160_ITEM2').style.fontSize = '20px';
$x('L_P160_ITEM3').style.fontSize = '30px';
$x('L_P160_ITEM3').style.color = 'green';
</script>Regards,
Arie.
Hi Carl,
As usual I was busy typing and didn’t see your reply. I agree that a specific example would be the best and easiest way to help.
