Ariel font not displaying properly

Ariel font does not seem to work correctly in any of the Microsoft Product such as powerpoint. word. entourage. etc..
Background: The user messed up and actually put fonts she needed to install the first time in System/Library/Fonts. which I have read was the folder you are not to touch. So i deleted all fonts in that folder, went to another MAC machine and copied the system/library/fonts and copied it to this computer hoping it will now have the default fonts in there.
The font shows it as Ariel but what is actually on the screen is some other weird font.
To troubleshoot, i first decided to start the computer in safemode to delete all cache fonts. This resolved the issue just one time. Upon reboot of the computer i open Word and start typing in Ariel. All is well. Ariel shows as ariel. I change the font back to helvetica and start typeing. all is well, helvitica shows fine. I change it back to Ariel and the problem comes back. Ariel font is chosen but what i am seeing on the screen is NOT ariel.
Can anyone enlighten me? I have also deleted all fonts from folders users are supposed to put the font in and recopied to no avail. After the first typing of ariel it will work..but when changed to another font then back to ariel the problem creeps up again.
thanks for those who can help.

First, you should run a Repair Permissions. Even though you copied the /System/Library/Fonts/ from one Mac to another in the same location, they will all have incorrect permissions.
You can install all, or any number of the fonts OS X comes with by following the instructions at the bottom of Font Management in OS X.
As for the cache files, booting in safe mode only removes cache files for the user account you log into. That still leaves the system font cache files and those belonging to Office, which are not in the same location as the rest of the user account cache files.
To clear all font cache files from the system, download and run Font Finagler. This might still leave the Office cache files. To remove them, if necessary, close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)

Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files. The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
And here is the same file uploaded just now:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file. With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless. Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/dae50071-9596-44ce-b525-3f52663f8cca
Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

Fonts not displaying properly (square symbols)

I'm trying to troubleshoot an error in a 3rd party vendor's java applet where fonts are not displaying properly. It seems as though when the arial bold font is used, it does not display from a particular computer. (this is a company terminal server, by the way).
To illustrate what I mean, I've posted links to small images showing a working example from another machine:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_working.gif
.. and a non-working example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_error.gif
(apologies, I don't know how to include images in this forum).
Vendor support can only provide support so far as requiring a certain version of a JRE is installed -- after that, it's up to me. I've tried comparing the two JRE/lib/Fonts directories and Windows regional settings but they are the same. I've also tried setting the Sun Java console trace level to DEBUG while Internet Explorer is running the applet.
Is there any where I can look to find out what font is missing, or whether the "JavaFontNotFound" exception is firing? Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Make sure that you're using the correct font. Arial Bold does not provide full Unicode support. Thsi webpage may assist you:

Fonts not displaying properly after 10.0 update (Mac OS X)

After I updated to Firefox 10.0, almost all websites now default to Times Roman, even after I have set Helvetica as my default font as well as have checked "allow pages to choose their own fonts".
I tried trashing prefs, reinstalling the previous version of FF but to no avail.
Never had this issue before and all fonts are displaying properly in Safari and Chrome.
Any ideas?

Ok repaired permissions and now ''some'' fonts display properly but some are still times roman. Even explicitly setting fonts in Firebug doesn't change them...

Fonts not displaying properly in PDFs in Preview

When I open a PDF in Preview, fonts are either substituted, or the text doesn't display at all.
PDFs display properly in Adobe Acrobat, however.
I've tried deleting Preview's preferences, to no avail. Any clues?

This is a constant problem for us too (on our new Leopard only machines), any program that uses the OS to display PDFs will keep dropping type.
This means the finder, preview, keynote and mail applications. Our placed PDFs in keynote slides don't show type. In finder windows, the type in pdfs (the icon) is sporadic at best, in mail and entourage the type on pdfs in email is also sporadic. Preview itself is completely hot or miss. But open the same pdf in acrobat and viola, perfect.
Clearing the font caches and restarting is only a temporary fix.
This is an inexcusable bug that makes doing professional design work (the sole reason we have macs) extremely difficult. I wish we had not upgraded any of our computers.

Fonts not displaying properly in Safari

I built a webpage in Adobe Dreamweaver and for the most part the text is editable. It displays properly in all web browsers (internet explorer, chrome, firefox) except for Safari. When I view it in Safari on my MacBook Pro, the sections where text is editable is displayed in a different font than I used. I used Century Gothic which is a sans serif font and it's being displayed as a serif font.
How do I fix this?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.

DW CS5 - fonts not displaying properly

Hi there
I've just downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS5.5 and seem to be having a little trouble as the fonts on the actual graphic interface are not displaying correctly. Here's what I mean: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/418515_3338939720865_1489816971_31538 14_2003616853_n.jpg
It's kind of annoying so any assistance would be greatly appreciated :-)
Thanks

You have a corrupt font on your system that needs to be removed. See if you can run the font through What the font ( http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ ) or see if you can go through and remove that stencil-like font.

Many Edge Web Fonts not displaying properly, help ?!!!

From this morning, and for the second time in only 10 days, some web fonts in our Edge projects aren't displaying properly anymore !
We're having issues with Maiden Orange, Italianna or even Amatic but when i go on https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/ at least 75% of the fonts previews are wrong and shows default ones on Safari, Chrome or even Firefox : WTF ?
So it's clearly coming from Adobe's font service, and i hope that they will solve it ASAP cause it's a huge thing for us and our clients !

Okay, so it seems like i can reproduce it on new files. The problem occurs from selecting certain fonts. Bangers is one i was using and seems to have issues after selecting. In the add font box, after selecting it, other fonts no longer become available and fall back to the default ones. So trying this on two different computers with a new file can mean it is either a web font issue, or some odd occurence my internet connection is causing. Any help is appreciated.

Fonts not displaying properly

Upon compiling and running ANY Flex or AIR apps out of FB3 on
my Mac OSX machine, any text (including text in Alert.show()
windows) displays incorrectly. I can only see the bottoms of
letters that have descenders. Anyone else running into an issue
like this? Any work-arounds available?

It could be a difference in how 10.4 and 10.5 interpret fonts.
In the short term - go back to the original machine to finish the project.
In the longer term, check to see if there are duplicate fonts. You can read up on how to check and what to do to disable any found in the FONT BOOK help file.
good luck,

Font not displaying properly

Recently did a clean install of Windows 7. Installed Firefox, and text on webpages looks horrible. Here is a screenshot
http://i.imgur.com/U5R84Bc.png
I tried disabling hardware acceleration, no effect. I reinstalled the Arial font, which the web inspector says is being used, no effect. I have font smoothing turned off, and I am keeping it that way, I hate font smoothing
I know it can be fixed since I fixed it in the past without turning on font smoothing, I just can't remember how I did it.

Download the current full installer anyway,

Fonts Not Displaying Properly in Flash Player

Fonts Will Not Display Properly In Mail

Messages that I am receving in Mail will not display properly. All characters are represented with square with the letter A. I attached a screen shot.
I changed the default fonts to many different options and nothing has worked.
Any help would be great.

Open up Font Book and validate your fonts. You may have a corrupt font or corrupt font database.

View/Resolution/Font is incredibly small resulting in web pages not displaying properly (Facebook) & I can not find internet tools options or compatibility view otions

I've tried different things to adjust this problem on my laptop, but nothing is working. I uninstalled firefox because this was very irritating. I just reinstalled after being away for 2months and the problem still exists. My laptop settings are for normal display and font sizes and everything is normal when I use internet explorer, but when I use firefox...everything shrinks. When I'm on facebook using apps...it gets even smaller and app screens will not display properly. There is no internet options or compatibility view settings on this new firefox that I can find and I'm out of ideas on how to fix this.

See this: <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom
The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

Webfont not displaying properly in design mode or appearing in font list

Just updated Muse and now my heading webfont (Nunito) is not displaying properly in design mode or appearing in the font list. It is, however, displaying properly in preview mode. When I try and delete the font and then add it again I get an error message that says the font can't be added. Any idea what's going on?

Hello,
Please try the steps below. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
1. Close Muse
2. Rename the folders named tk1 and tk2 in the following locations
On Windows: %appdata%\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2\Local Store. You can type this in the Path bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window
On Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2/Local Store. You can type this in the Go To Folder dialog (Shift+Command+G)
3. Launch Muse and add the font again
Please let me know if that helps.
Regards
Vivek

My vertical Spry is not displaying properly in IE 8

You flash movie doesn't have the parameter wmode=transparent. If you set that, the menu bar will be on top.

I hope this helps.
