10.4.6 update destroyed fonts???

I updated to 10.4.6 and I'm getting some weird characters (numbers/fractions) in place of text (ie "To:" "From:" in Mail headers. Any ideas?

Brian,
Do you have any duplicate fonts?
Helvetica Fractions has been a culprit when numbers/fractions appear.
I would also recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.

  • 10.4.3 update destroys portrait lid closed mode with cinema display

    The 10.4.3 update destroys the ability to use an external cinema display in closed lid mode. In particular using the rotate by 90 degrees option. Once set the external display goes nuts and can not be set back to landscape -- even in open lid mode. Zapping the PRam is not sufficient to reset the display.
    Anyone solve this problem?

    I'm interested in this issue too, as I intend to get an MBP but use it with an external screen and keyboard most of the time.
    I'd also like to know about ventilation - where does the cooling air come from and go to? What parts need to be kept clear, and which bits can I have up against or close to a bookshelf or hutch or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.
    PS, I think the glossy screens look fantastic, but also think I'll go for matte since they are more practical.

  • After my software was updated, all fonts were minimized. Web pages condensed and not filling the entire screen. Can anyone help me?

    After a software update, all fonts were minimized especially on the tool bars. I cannot restore them to original size. Web pages were also minimized and do not fill entire screen. Any suggestions?

  • Update tamil font in oracle

    To update tamil font in oracle database
    can anyone help me on this
    regards,
    rajesh

    I am repeating: read the guide, at least the basic chapters. Then, ask questions. You mix basic terms. You do not configure fonts in a database, because a font is a set of glyphs representing characters drawn on a screen. The database is a data storage server. It has no GUI and it does not display anything. Only client tools and applications connecting to the database can display data. I do not know if you talk about the database character set for your database or real fonts for your operating system. These are very different things even if they are both needed for Tamil data to be processed correctly. Any Oracle database (at least since Oracle7.3) can be configured to store Tamil data by creating it with the Unicode character set. Use AL32UTF8 with the current versions (>=9.0).
    Windows can display Tamil since Windows 2000. The font name Latha. You may need to add East Asian text support through Control Panel in Windows 2000/XP before displaying Tamil.
    I am not sure how well Tamil is supported on Unix-like systems, including Linux, but I assume at least some applications can process it.

  • This last Firefox update was totally useless, all Firefox updates destroy my previous tabs and are therefore extremely disruptive.

    This last Firefox update was totally useless, all Firefox updates destroy my previous tabs without warning and are therefore extremely disruptive. I lose information that will take time to recover. Firefox should give warning to its users so that vital information can be saved before updating their tab system.+

    Firefox should not lose your open tabs when it updates. <br /> (That is not to say it always succeeds)
    I know Firefox will sometimes remove stored open tabs with updates, and I think Firefox 29 itself had a particular issue with the open tabs.
    * Bug 1001167 - Session Restore doesn't handle a corrupted sessionstore.js file properly ('''That is fixed in the current Release Firefox 30''')
    Firefox 29 and later should respect the setting to not update without warning you. So you should be able to set it to
    * Bug 950357 - The About dialog automatically checks for updates (and then asks the user if he wants to update) even when the "Never check for updates" option is selected. ('''Again that is fixed in Firefox 30''')
    * SEE [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption#w_update-tab]]'''_update-tab'''
    NOTE it has the option to let you choose when to upgrade.
    I agree Firefox should warn before update, and it should give users an indication of what is about to change. Use input to make a comment.
    * https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback
    We are only volunteers and fellow Firefox users, not the people making choices and decisions.
    Consider using Firefox Sync to backup your open tabs
    * [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
    * [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
    Although Firefox will do nothing to warn you what features change, note that the Beta release is six weeks earlier and will give you a very good indication of what will be in the Release.

  • CS5 library HTML instances not getting updated (and font options are limited)

    Having the following problems using FW CS5/Mac:
    1. Heading1 instances (created from Common Library -> HTML) are not reflecting updates to library item in Document Library.
    To replicate: Drag a Heading1 element from the common library to document.  Create a few more instances of it in the document, using the one in your Document Library.  Now edit the library version. The instances on the page stay the same, they don't reflect updates.
    2. Symbol Properties for HTML elements has very limited options for Font.   'Heading1' has only Arial or Arial Black.  'Link' has those, plus Comic Sans (and Arial is listed twice).  There is nowhere else to customize symbols.
    3. Also, my Layers panel randomly disappears, even though Window->Layers is still checked. I have to restart to get it back.  Cursor also sometimes disappears and requires restart. Seems to happen whenever I add a Link (from Common Library).
    Are there workarounds for these?  If they are documented bugs, is there a patch?
    Thanks for any help.
    Jeff

    You can try editing the JSF file for the symbol - that's what controls the symbol properties. I'm not a coder, but I found that putting your preferred font at the beginning of the font list in the JSF list will solve the problem.
    For example, I first saved a copy of the original script, then moved the Times Roman family to the beginning of the list and saved this version as the original script name. These scripts are found in the Fireworks application folder, inside Configuration > Common Library > HTML.
    I restarted FW and when I dragged the H1 instance onto the canvas, it displayed Times immeditately.
    Unfortunately, it deleted that family from the combo list, simply renaming it Arial - Helvetica - san-serif and placing it at the top of the list. So now I have 3 Arials - lol. The first one indicates the current font chosen (or it's supposed to) and the other two list my true Arial font family and the Times font family (renamed as Arial)  Haven't figure out how to fix that yet.
    This change doesn't affect the preview image either, but there must be a way to alter it by editing the true symbol.
    HTH a little, at least.

  • Safari 3.2.1 With 10.5.6 Update = Corrupt Font Display

    Since updating to 10.5.6, Safari is corrupting the display of certain small fonts, such as the "Compose" and "Preview" tab labels at the top of this Discussion "New Topic" window, and mail subjects in Yahoo web mail. The problem is more severe with small bold fonts. I have OS X's font smoothing turned off for font sizes smaller than 12 pt, and use the CRT smoothing style, as I prefer little to no font smoothing on my LCD monitor.
    I've reset Safari, corrected duplicate fonts, validated all fonts, run DiskWarrior, FontNuke to clear all font caches, and even reinstalled the 10.5.6 combo updater; nothing has helped. If I make the font one size smaller, the corruption is mostly corrected. OmniWeb 5.8 has the same issue as Safari under 10.5.6; FireFox 3.0.5 & Camino 1.6.6 are unaffected, and render fonts as well under 10.5.6 as they did under 10.5.5.
    I've booted my 10.5.5 backup to verify that Safari 3.2.1 and OmniWeb 5.8 had no font display issues before the 10.5.6 update. The 10.5.6 update was the only software change made on my system since the 10.5.5 backup I used for comparison.
    Anyone else seeing strange font display in Safari under 10.5.6? I think you'd have to minimize OS X font smoothing as described above for the problem to become visible. I'm out of possible solutions, other than hoping for a fix in 10.5.7.

    Well, for the time being, I'm just going keep 10.5.6, and use revised font smoothing settings: "Automatic" style, and "turned off" for font sizes 10 pt and smaller. The reason is that I did a little more investigating, and found that the distorted small font issue affects the entire system, including the Finder, not just Safari.
    I checked my G4 MDD that's running 10.4.11 on two 23" monitors (1920x1200), and it has the same issue as my G5 running 10.5.6, if font smoothing is turned off. So, this is apparently a long standing OS X issue that, for some reason, never affected my lower resolution G5 system driving a 20" monitor (1680x1050) until the 10.5.6 update was installed.

  • C7 after belle update calendar fonts too small

    After I updated to Belle I am experiencing some problems reading the calendar appointments. When expanding an appointment in calendar view to look at details font is very small. I think this is a persistent bug because neither in edit mode fonts get larger. Pls fix this. Best Pasha

    Hi Pasha_NC7,
    It can either be that the update hasn't been installed properly, or that the font size that has come with Belle is too small for your liking. Try to reinstall Belle with Nokia Suite and see if this makes a difference. If it doesn't then you won't be able to change it to a bigger font, but it's worth a shot.
    Let me know how you get on!

  • Update a font I got for free?

    Hi
    I received part of the Garamond Premier Pro font family as a gift from Adobe for registering one of my versions of InDesign or Creative Suite. (It's been a while; I can't remember which it was.) I see now that the font has been updated several times and probably fixes a kerning error I'm seeing. Does anyone know if it's possible for me to get a free update to the current version and, if so, how to do it?
    Thanks.
    m.

    Very easy to get the back off. Here is a DIY right from Apple which shows how to replace a HD but once the back is off you will see the RAM slots. If it is a bad mother board it is a more advanced job but doable. The cost of the mother board is the worst part. If it was not turning on at all before it could be a bad power supply too. These are a lot cheaper to obtain and the PDF is in the same area that I got this PDF. You got it for nothing so you have nothing to lose. Have a look at the mother board for bulging capacitors (the little cylinder shape units) and there are a dozen or more on the mother board. If these are bad then the "Free Imac" may not be such a great deal. Good luck

  • Muse recently updated with Yosemite Update web fonts not working

    I recently updated my OS to Yosemite at work, but not at home. a site that was using font awesome that was working/previewing/exporting/uploaded and functioning fine is now not showing font awesome icons. I didn't upload to the server because even though it previews in Muse fine, they are not shown on export. Even the template files that are the original HTML files (included with the muse template) are not showing the web fonts. I thought it was the operating system but when drop boxed to my computer at home and checked there (Mountain lion OS) It still doesn't show.
    I'm not understanding where the issue is. Any thoughts?
    Work version is 2014.2, unclear about home version- could possibly not be that update, I think I installed in November. I didn't have any problems with this file since updating to Yosemite at work. Although never went through a final HTML export so I suppose it could have been doing it for the last few weeks I have been working on this site.
    Thanks!

    From the screen shot, I expect you're on Windows and have ClearType turned on (on is the default OS setting). The top text is drawn using Adobe's technology. The bottom would be drawn with ClearType. Microsoft's ClearType technology is one of several font anti-aliasing techniques. ClearType's approach is strongly biased toward making vertical stems appear smooth and of consistent width at the expensive of having horizontal portions of text appear less smooth. If you turn off ClearType on your computer the text will be rendered differently.
    Each operating system has it's own approach to drawing text, and in fact both Windows and Mac have multiple approaches. Windows adds numerous end user controls on top of that. And each browser has the freedom to implement different rendering as well. There's nothing under the control of a website authoring tool that can cause live text to have an identical rendering when rendered by different browsers or operating systems.
    This is one of the limitations of the web medium.
    Cross browser compatibility generally refers to the large category of issues where a browser, or browser version, entirely lacks support for various features of HTML/CSS, implements those features differently from other browsers, or has bugs such that various features either don't function correctly or don't function consistently. Muse contains hundreds of pieces of code to compensate for these idiosyncracies between browsers.

  • After updating, all fonts on all websites are bold, help?

    I just updated to Firefox v7.0, using Windows 7. I go into Gmail and all of my email looks unread. I realize this is not a gmail setting as CNN is the same, as is all other sites. Please help me get my fonts back to normal! I checked my default and I am not on Arial Black or anything, I am not zoomed in, and my Arial font is not corrupted.

    To fix it, go to Options / Advanced / General and disable "Use hardware acceleration when available".

  • After Firefox was updated, the font size on my screen was decreased for all applications. How can I increase the font size on my screen ??

    After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.
    Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

    Thanks -- that does help!

  • Security update and fonts

    I did a security update on Friday, April 6 on two of my machines and now I can't use certain fonts. I did not update a third machine and the fonts work fine on that machine. Any ideas on how to get the fonts to work again? I've reinstalled original copies, but it still doesn't work. HELP!
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   security update screwed up my fonts

    Do you know if the Apple Security Updates are really necessary?
    IMHO, Apple wouldn't release them if they were unnecessary. Following the steps outlined below should mitigate problems when updating:
    Get yourself a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup before updating. Then, peruse these:

  • How do i uninstall the last system update to fonts?

    how do i uninstall the last system update? 
    It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in  CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.
    This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.

    Apple does not support a downgrade. You can download OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) and give it a try.
