After fontconfig upgrade, web fonts are ugly...

They're all thin, blocky and pixilated.

I don't even know where to start to fix this. I know so little about fonts and how to make them look nice it's embarrassing.
Gross. Any help?

All self-hosted web fonts are deleted after update to latest Muse version (2014.3)

All the self-hosted web fonts are deleted after updating Muse.
It is necessary to import the self-hosted fonts again and then redefine every paragraph style to make it work again.
This is an extra hour of work for every site using self-hosted fonts.
Please make sure to improve this on the next update-release of Adobe Muse.
Thanks

Hi Abhishek,
the site is directly uploaded using MUSE Upload to ftp host. When I open it with ftp client, there is off file of etelkawidemedium in fonts file.
And I have tried to upload plain webpage with the same web font - not made in Muse and it works.

So what should I do?
The answer from Shaun is little bit complicated for me:)

Some web fonts are not rendered

When I visit some sites that use web fonts, the web fonts are not rendered. It does not render with the wrong font - the text is completely invisible.
On other sites, web fonts work just fine, and I cannot understand why some web fonts work and some don't.
Examples of non-working sites:
http://blog.mailchimp.com/ (headers shown, article text missing)
https://www.sbab.se/ (huge top header missing)
http://onlinepizza.se/ (headers and button texts missing)
Examples of working sites:
http://www.google.com/fonts
http://www.typetester.org/
On the Network -> Fonts tab in the inspector, no downloads are shown on the broken sites. Is there a font cache that I can delete?
I have tried uninstalling firefox, deleting all profiles and installing it again. Nothing changes.

Works fine here on Linux.

Web fonts are not displaying

Hello -
For some reason my Firefox install is not displaying web fonts properly - It may have been doing this before the 13 upgrade. Doesn't matter if it's @font-face or Typekit or whatever, it's just goes down the fallback list until it finds one that I have installed on my computer.

Is downloadable fonts enabled?
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page.

Any errors about loading the font file in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Shift+Ctrl+K)?

Muse web fonts are not showing up in Chrome

The typekit fonts I'm using in Muse are not showing up in Chrome (Source Sans Pro and Crete Round). I have to refresh the page before they'll show up. They seem to be fine in all other browsers. Not sure what's going on here.... Any ideas? Thanks

Yes, I think you're correct. According to Typekit, there is a bug in chrome http://blog.typekit.com/2014/02/04/chrome-bug-affecting-web-fonts/

Broadband drops out after bt upgrade work in area

Hope someone can help because the call centre is helpful but unfortunetly the help they give me is what I have tried before.
On Wednesday 17th August I received an ewmail from the BT Migration team stating that upgrade work would be taking place at my local exchange and that my phone and broadband would be out for 10 minutes on this day. The work got carried out and I received a email saying this and that my broadband would take about ten days to settle down.
Now we are about 2 months since this wok and my once reliable broadband (have hardly ever had to restart the box in the past nearly 10 years) is dropping everyday and if I do restart the box I either get on to the internet then it drops out again or I don't, getting frustrated for paying for something I can't use.
My HomeHub the original white model, only shows a solid broadband icon and flashing wireless and sometimes flashing data icon on the front of it but no internet.
I have tried using the bt broadband desktop help but it says my line is okay and I have checked all the microfilters that are attached and everything seems fine there. Phone the number at the end of the desktop help wizard and get told to try the same thing it suggests.
I have read on this forum that some other bt customers have had similar problems after upgrades and it turned out to be the homehub that was at fault.
Can anyone give me any advice in sorting this please or can anyone confirm that it is the homehu bthe issue is with and if so how to get a free replacement from bt.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Andy81,
Welcome to the forums. Yes you would be correct in the fact that the White Home Hub doesn't have the best reputation on ADSL2+ lines simply because of its age. I would advise you to contact the mods, you can do that by following this link: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 and ask for a replacement hub, although you would have to pay if you are out of contract. Do you know if you're out of contract?

After Lion upgrade old backups are visible but unaccessible

On two different machines with different type drives I upgraded from SL to Lion and everything went fine, except when I Enter Time Machine the backups prior to the upgrade are purple on the timeline and I can't access them. The files are there on the drive still but the UI will no longer allow me to restore form them.
As an aside, Time Machine is creating new backups just fine and I can restore ffrom them.
Since this happened on two separate machines with two different brands of external HD and both relatively new I would think this was more common.
Any ideas?

I had this issue and FIGURED it out!
I had a MBP on SL with an Intel SSD. My hard drive was named "IntelSSD". I then purchased an AIR with Lion installed and used migration assistant. When turning on TM, it asked if I wanted to keep the old backups and I said Yes.
Well, just as the previous poster states, the change in HD name from "IntelSSD" to "Macintosh HD" causes TM to not related the two home directories as the same! Per the instructions, go to Finder where you see the HD and then enter Time Machine. From there you can go back and see your old HD name and drill in to find your files.
For Reference from the link above:
If you want to see the backups for such a disk or partition, either select your Computer name in the Finder sidebar, or quit Time Machine, press Shift+Cmd+C to show your computer, and re-enter Time Machine. Do not select anything in the Finder window, but navigate to the backup you want via the Timeline. The Finder windows will show one folder for each disk or partition that was included in each backup (there are some samples in Troubleshooting item #E3). If you want to restore the entire disk/partition, select all the top-level folders and restore to an alternate location, per question #16.

Web fonts are blurry/muddy when displaying in browser

It seems that the CSS code that Muse generates lacks a reset or clarification of font weight, either of which would fix this problem (for example, see here: http://css-tricks.com/watch-your-font-weight/). Will this bug be fixed in future versions of Muse? I hate having to go in and fix stuff like this myself, it makes using Muse too cumbersome, as every time I make a change to the site in Muse, I then have to export the files and re-edit them by hand again.
Thanks Muse team, not trying to be discouraging at all, and I really do think you're doing great work—we all know these things take time to perfect!

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your quick response! Here's section of a website I'm working on when I'm still in Muse:
And here is that same section when displaying in Chrome (looks like this in Firefox, too):
See how all the text looks weirdly stroked/muddy?
Thanks again!

Muse Web Fonts are loaded but those with variations won't allow selection

I can swap from Questrial to one of the other single fonts but it won't let me change to any cut from a font family such as Source Sans Pro.
I never used to have this problem but I do now and want to change one of the fonts I'm using on the site I'm creating.
Here's a link but as you can guess I want to change the font in Muse not adjusting the code
http://artefrancesco122614.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
Thanks for the help

Thanks for your answer but you should realize that Source Sans Pro has a font family" not a single font.
To get it to work I've had to delete and re-add the fonts. Which I shouldn't have to do to have the fonts work properly

Epiphany web controls are ugly

Howdy,
Any one having this problem?
http://imagebin.org/18528
Thanks...
sv

Yes I am having this problem too.
I do not think you can blame Epiphany for this, but Gecko, unless you have a better display in some other distro ... ?
Epiphany uses Gecko (firefox's engine) to render web pages.
Also I am not sure whether this can be fixed or if we will have to wait for the next Gecko release (with Firefox 3 ?).
Firefox 3 is said to have better native toolkit integration...
However the next Epiphany version, 2.24, will not use Gecko anymore but Webkit.
Let's hope it will be better for such a problem !!!

How do you add/use typekit fonts that are not edge web fonts?

I am just trying out the new Muse CC 2014.1 (August) release and was keen to try the new font facilities. As far as I can see that while I can now add other fonts for which I have downloaded web font files via the Self Hosted Web Fonts function, Typekit fonts that are not "Adobe Edge Web Fonts" are effectively unavailable? Have I missed something.
As an example I want to use the Proxima Nova web font family. I have selected it on the type kit site, set them up to Sync via my Creative Cloud account. So for example if I select a font in Photoshop CC or Illustrator, the Proxima Nova fonts appear. Even ok in Word for Mac. They do not appear in Muse.
To add them as self hosted web fonts, I would need to physically download the relevant fonts files and install them on my desktop using the OS-X font tool. However as they are being sync'd via Creative Cloud this shouldn't be necessary should it? Also I don't see an option for doing so on the typekit site.
Any help or guidance would be very welcome.
PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.

Hi David,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. To add fonts from Typekit to your Muse website, you will want to use the web fonts path instead of desktop fonts. (You can use a desktop font synced from Typekit in your Muse design, but it will exported as an image the same as any other system font.)
There are a couple options for using Typekit web fonts in Muse:
o) The Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
o) Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website. The steps are the same as this tutorial, but you will add the Typekit embed code to Muse instead of into your page directly:
TYPEKIT | Adding fonts to your site
Note that in either case the Typekit fonts will not be displayed in the Muse preview window. You'll need to publish your site to a server in order for the Typekit fonts to be loaded into the page.
If those look like more coding that you are comfortable with, you might try one of the fonts which you can select from the font menu instead. Here are some that are similar to :
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts#/?xHeight=high&contrast=low&class=sans-serif&width=re gular
We are also working on a more complete integration of Typekit with Muse in the future, but I can't say yet when that will be available.
>> PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.
Do you see a "loading" icon in the tab (e.g. a blue spinner wheel)? It sounds similar to this thread; you might try these suggestions:
Re: Adobe Creative Cloud / Desktop App / Home Screen: Constant Spinning Wheel
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

What you are experiencing is 100% related to Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

MUSE CC WON'T DISPLAY BEBAS NEUE WEB FONT IN DESIGN MODE

For some reason I can't seem to view the Bebas Neue web font in design mode any more, yet when I switch to preview or even go ahead and publish my site it works just fine.
It wasn't bothering me too much at first but it really confuses things after a while as I have to guess the sizes and spacing because the font that appears instead of Bebas Neue is Times New Roman (or similar).
All the other web fonts are working just fine. I've tried to reset the web fonts and apply them again but had no luck, and I even closed and restarted Muse CC several times but again, nothing!

Please refer to the following thread for a solution - http://forums.adobe.com/message/6259161.

Problem in Predefined Properties after SP14 upgrade

Hi,
we are facing one Problem after the SP14 upgrade in the Development environment.The Problem is as follows:
Actually we have defined some Predefined metadata Properties which give us option of country and Locality while uploading any Document.The Property of Country and Locality are Interlinked and whenever user check the country checkbox (Like China) the interdependent Locality List appears (like Shanghai).But after SP14 upgrade whenever we are clicking the country checkbox the Loclity checkboxes are not appearing.(Even though some processing happens).I have checked all the configuration under System admin >Global services> Property Metada -->Group and Properties.Property Structures -->Property Groups etc and match them with all the properties of that in the Production environment.But we don't find any property missing like Dependencies etc.
Is there anything else we need to check?Anybody of you have faced the same Problem earlier?
Please Help It is urgent
Regards
Imran

Dear Imran,
we dint migrate the properties to the new server.
we have created those properties again in our new server.
I am using those properties for two purposes
1.to refine the search ,adding them in the search option set.
here i am able to see the all properties and there dependedncy .
its working fine.
2. while uploading the documnets.
I created a metadata group mapped those properties to all groups.
all process as we have done in our old server.
here i am able to view all the properties except 1.
for ex country and city
I am able to see the property country ,
but the property city is not visible only .
where as i can see both the properties in search and working as desired .
If the problem is with patch,then it should either not work in the search also.
can u please suggest me on this .
Thanks in advance

Statistics gather after 10g upgrade

I am on apps 11.5.10.2, database has been recently upgraded from 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.4. I used to periodically use GATHER SCHEMA STATISTICS (ALL SCHEMA), in the previous release of db.
What should be practiced after the upgrade? There are some custom schemas for third party tool. Does gather schema statistics concurrent program gather statistics for all the schema?
Thanks

Hussein,
To register a custom schema, I have to go thru the series of steps like registering application, creating a TOP etc., right? What if my custom application is in some other windows server and only schema is in the apps database? Do we need still follow the same steps?
Regards,
SAI am not sure why you have this custom schema in this Apps database. If your custom schema has nothing to do with Apps, you would be better off creating a separate instance for this custom app. You could then use the automatic stats gathering mechanism in 10g to gather stats for this custom schema app.
