Some webpage's fonts are bold now?

Hi, yesterday around 3-4 in the afternoon I got on my pc, went to Facebook and the font was extremely bold! So I went to google, and it's font was fine, my on personal website was fine, but my email client for my personal website had the same huge font like
Facebook. I tried every suggestion I could, but nothing is working. See my screenshot for what it looks like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just don't get it.

Hi,
Have we tried Ctrl + 0 which reset the zoom before resetting Internet Explorer?
Besides, we could change the website fronts under:
Tools -> Internet Options ->General Tab -> Appearance -> Fonts, then select the fonts you would like to use, then click OK. (Mine is using
Latin based language script, Times New Roman in webpage fonts and
Courier New in plain Text font)
More options that might affect the display, please check:
Internet Explorer Ease of Access options

Some of my fonts are not showing in my browser, could it be due to font book?

Hi
All of a sudden I noticed two websites which I commonly use, not displaying some of its fonts correctly. At first I thought it was just the browsers fault, firefox to be specific, but after checking Safari. I found that Safari was displaying the fonts incorrect too. So then I thought, maybe I need to just update my os software. I updated my software and still the fonts aren't displaying properly.
Now further research has lead me to think the problem lies within Font book. Prior to this issue i have never opened or tempered with font book or had any other font issues.
I am running OS 10.6.8
Verdana and arial are the problematic fonts. Any help would be a godsend.

Looks like verdana is selected to 'off' in font book. Not sure if this could be the reason as to why i'm experiencing problems.

Some website's fonts are defective

Some website's fonts look like characters with a black border and white or empty interior. This is practically illegible and happens to lots of websites. Everything looks like "HelvNueOutline" font. I have screen shots if necessary. Thanks.

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

Firefox 5 some web sites fonts are not work.

I try to visit this sinhala language web site using Firefox 5 latest version. Then that site not properly display (Fonts are not work). Then i again downloaded that web site fonts and install them. But again that web site not properly display.
If i visit that web site using "Google Chrome" or "IE" i can view that web site properly. This problem only happen for Firefox 5. Older version Firefox 4 work properly with this site.
This is that web site fonts download link -http://www.lankaenews.com/font/sinhala_tamil_fonts.zip

You can set the pref gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable downloadable fonts and make Firefox use a locally installed font.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Some text and fonts are "outlined" or "inlined", making it difficult to read.

Some websites have fonts that appear "outlined" or filled with a different colour, making it nearly impossible to read. I have a screen capture of Firefox versus Safari to show you the difference, but there is no way to send it to you on this form. Contact me by email and I will send it to you...

Turning OFF "Allow pages to choose..." remedied the problem. Many Thanks!

Fonts are HUGE now!

I was messing with my xorg.conf configuration, and thought I would try telling X what my display size was, so that it could compute the correct DPI setting for my display.
I have a 15.4" widescreen display running at 1680x1050, which comes out to roughly 131 dpi. At this setting, all of my fonts are huge (by huge, I mean 10pt fonts look like they are 20pt)! I tried putting in fake display size values to get 100 dpi, 96dpi, etc.
Here is what I learned. Almost no OS uses the correct dpi for the display. Apparently Windows always uses 96 dpi, regardless of what resolution the display really is. X also defaults to 96 dpi. A few distros actually set the dpi correctly, and the first thing people complain about is that the fonts are too big.
Anyhow, I think I am going to stick with the default 96 dpi setting, since it's what I'm used to. But if any of you ever see X with abnormally large fonts, check what dpi setting is being used.
By the way, the relevant setting in xorg.conf is DisplaySize, in the Monitor section. Here's the syntax:
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 410 318 # Size (x,y) of the screen, in millimeters
EndSection

beniro wrote:Also, if you the width/height you entered in millimeters is correct (You're using a fairly standard 19" or 20" monitor???) and your resolution really is 1680x1050, your dpi is actually: 102 (from left to right) by 84 (top to bottom)...which will give you...a skewed view of the world.
He said it in his first posting--15.4" widescreen, so it's probably a 16:10 screen, not 4:3. So his numbers seem correct to me. Many laptops have screens with 130dpi and more, nowadays ...

All of a sudden some of my fonts are symbols

I was working using FirstClass, FireFox, and Snapz Pro when suddenly the font in the URL field of FireFox changed to various symbols instead of letters. After further investigation I found that I see the same symbols in iTunes and in other browsers. In FirstClass I don't see the symbols, but the font is different than it was before and some letters are in bold. Below are some screenshots:

If either, or both of the fonts Times Phonetic or Helvetica Fractions are on your drive, don't just disable them, delete them from the hard drive. If that alone doesn't do it, download and run Font Finagler to clear the font cache files from the system. Make sure no other programs are running when clearing caches.

I can not get Firefox to reset to normal size. I have tried everything including reinstalling it. Only some webpages like Facebook are large & it will not reset but in IE it is normal. Please help because I hate IE & really do not want to use it!

When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.

CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

Some PDF Document Fonts Are not Appearing Correctly.

To give an example, I am talking about this document. The image shows how it appears with my adobe reader, even though readers like evince or okular display it just fine. THe problem persists with several documents, but not all of them. So far I am not able to find a pattern.
My Adobe Reader version: 9.5.5
Platform: Linux mint petra

I am sorry, is there any way to edit the post? Alternatively, the screen shot can be viewed here.

Suddenly...some fonts are not available.

InDesign CC 2014 Crashed today. When I relaunched it I found that some of my fonts are not available. I'm on a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.10)
For example, two weights of Proxima Nova are available (Light and Regular) but the other weights are not. Those other various font weights are available in other apps (namely Illustrator).
Below are various screenshots
1. Screenshot from InDesign
2. Screenshot from Font Book to show the fonts are active
3. Screenshot from Illustrator CC 2014 showing these fonts are available there.

I quite InDesign. Then I did a search and trashed all the AdobeFntXX.lst files that had a two digit number. I deleted the files and rebooted my computer. I then launched InDesign and had the same problem.
So, I quite InDesign again and deleted my Indesign Prefs and Saved Data file and relaunched. Same problem.
Very strange... since everything is okay in Illustrator, Photoshop and even an older version of InDesign CS6.

Page Viewer Webpart not displaying some webpages

Hello
I have a SharePoint Server 2013 on-prem Publishing Site and the page viewer webpart is unable to display some webpages like Google homepage, etc. but is able to show webpages from a few other sites like internal SharePoint sites, skysports.com, etc.
I am not able to see a pattern here. I first thought this might be caused due to some sites allowing authenticated access but now its not very consistent. Also, I tried the same with an Office 365 site and the results were exactly the same.
Please help me to find out the reason for this issue.
Thanks
Parth

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Page Viewer Webpart don’t display some webpages.
There are many reasons for the block of the pages in the Page Viewer Web Part.
For more information, you can refer to:
IFrame is blocked in SharePoint 2013

Fonts are not displaying correctly in certain apps

Some of my fonts are appearing much higher within UI elements than they should be. Any ideas?

I doubt this is a hardware issue – hardware issues are agnostic of specific characters, as this is the case it seems:
There's no 'c' or 't' not corrupted and on the other hand – it seems – no corrupted 'd's.
Have you just tried setting the font to something different?

Some of my fonts not available

Where do they need to be loaded to show up?
Thanks

As Tom mentions for where to find your fonts, but remember, although iBooks can 'see' all fonts installed and active on your machine, only fonts in OpenType or TrueType formats can be used when publishing. Which could explain why some of your fonts are not available.
In other words, they will display correctly in iBooks Author on your machine, but if they are Postscript 1 fonts [for example], then when you preview on your iPad, they will default to an OT or TT typeface.

My default fonts are all in Bold in most software now. How do I fix this?

So I installed in a large batch about 1,000 some fonts. I found my old font collection and got WAY to excited. Now however, most applications (Safair, TextEdit, Mail) chose to use a bold verison of Arial instead of regular Arial and when I change the default to specifically detail regular Arial it instead chooses a random font, I don't even remember the name of.
I've tried messing around in FontBook, turning things off and on..... but then I don't have Arial and every single webpage anywhere uses Arial as a default and so the usability is all off.
Any suggestions?

At least one of the fonts you installed is causing a font conflict. Very common with free fonts. A handful (by percentage) of free fonts are well made. The vast majority are less than useless.

Some webpage fonts are messed up after installing new fonts

I've copied all of my fonts over into my .fonts folder, and since then some random fonts on webpages are messed up. Did I mess up a default font somehow? My default font on Namoroka is Serf size 16.
Example: http://i.imgur.com/jNMpd.png
Notice how the Twitter/Facebook/FeedBurner headings and descriptions are all small and cramped up looking.
Thanks!

See which fonts firefox is using:
lsof | grep -i firefox | egrep -i 'ttf|pfb'
Close down firefox, then open it and navigate directly to the page you're interested in, first.
Some webpages, unfortunately, like to horizontally compress fonts, which can result in them looking horrible.
