Blurry flash fonts under Firefox 6

I have problem accessing a streaming website ( http://www.hkadr.com/stream.php ) that shows flash fonts. OK no problem with FF5, Chrome, IE.
For FF6, it is OK if I disable Aero Theme (transparent mode). Or, it is OK also if I turn the monitor resolution to 16 bit high color (from the default setting of 32 bit true color)
I have tried: disabling hardware acceleration, reset Cleartype text, upgrading the graphic card driver to the latest version - all cannot help FF6 read the problematic flash font website clearly.
My system is Win7 64 bit, AMD 6670 graphic card, CPU Q9550S, and I am running 2 monitors of 1920x1080 under 32 bit true color.
I read from another help thread that FF7 may have solved this, but I still cannot read the website under FF7.
Anyone can help please ?

Try to toggle some <u>Boolean</u> gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features and maybe set gfx.direct2d.disabled -> true to disable Direct2D.<br />
Filter: gfx
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Gap under flash movie in Firefox

Hi all,
A site im developing shows a gap under the flash movie in firefox.
http://www.britanniamotors.net/
I dont get the problem using the other method of embedding that i used on
http://www.britanniamotors.net/aboutus.html
the problem with using this method across the site is that i am using flexipanels on these pages and they wont display the flash movie when the flexipanels are on the same page
http://www.britanniamotors.net/pxtoclear.html
So i guess the answer may be in how the flash is embedded in dreamweaver but after much searching on the web i cant find any solution.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Check to be sure that you have the correct Flash plugin
installed. You obvioiusly have the correct activeX control
installed.

I even used cairo,libxft,... - hacks "-ubuntu", but my issue was still there Now I have clean that packages, without "-ubuntu".
I've copied TTF fonts from W7 into my Arch.
I have up to date system under Gnome 2.28.
Sorry for my gramma

Gen2ly wrote:adding a whole slew of things probably not doing much good
Now, why on Earth would I do that? Think I'm creating this file at random?? I'm continually testing and refining the rules. The purpose of the rules is to compensate for fontconconfig's inability to do such tweaking automatically. The end result is that fonts look better - I'm surprised that I need to point this out, it should be blatantly obvious.
hintslight should be used until the mid or up to the upper 100dpi range
That's meaningless by itself, you must include pixelsize in the equation. The majority of Microsoft's fonts, as well as various other fonts, actually look better when small using hintfull.
is a hack... Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Well, yeah, of course, it would be great if fontconfig did all the tweaking for us - but it doesn't. Fonts vary greatly, so fontconfig needs to be told the best ways to render various fonts, at various sizes/weights. You don't seem to understand this point, judging by this and your other posts regarding fonts - same as skottish, IIRC. Don't you guys have eyes?
Anyway, here's my current ~/.fonts.conf, which continues to be improved.

How to make fonts in firefox look prettier? For example like in sleipnir

Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to make fonts in firefox look smooth and easy to read?
I've tried using Sleinpir browser (http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/sleipnir/) which has aimed to provide smooth and readable text and almost every piece of text looks just better and more pleasant to read.
I've tried almost every setting both in Options dialog and in about:config (under gfx.font filter).
Enabling rendering via directwrite helped a lot, but it's still nothing compared to Sleipnir.
Here are some screenshots:
Default firefox - http://s5.postimg.org/8ifmq7u7p/ff_default.png
Firefox with directwrite enabled - http://s5.postimg.org/k15xb3c1h/ff_directdraw.png
Sleipnir - http://s5.postimg.org/5w049a305/sleipnir_default.png
So is there a way to make fonts look this pretty in firefox? Is there any iniciative to make FF capable of such thing?
Thanks a lot
(EDIT: I've even tried instaling gdi++ https://code.google.com/p/gdipp/ alternative renderer for windows, but it doesn't seem to make any change in firefox)

How to make the fonts in Firefox sharper so there more like the fonts in Google Chrome?

I'm currently in the process of moving from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are allot more smoother then what they are in Google Chrome, is there anyway to make the Firefox fonts look as sharp as what the fonts are in Google Chrome?

This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: '''[[Fonts look blurry]]'''
There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the [http://www.firefox.com/channel Aurora channel]. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)
If you're interested in the technical details, [https://blog.mozilla.com/nattokirai/2011/08/11/directwrite-text-rendering-in-firefox-6/ this article] has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.

Why is Flash crashing in Firefox - huge problem

Every day, mainstream websites have their Flash content crash in Firfox for me on XP Pro, Vista and Windows 7.
I love Firefox. I appreciate it is free and thank you for creating and maintaining it. But this Flash thing should not be passed by saying it is someone elses responsibility. For good or for ill, Flash is a basic building block of the web business.
Unfortunately, Steve Jobs seems to be on the money by saying Adobe have become a flaky software developer. With the way Flash performs on my system under Firefox, it leaves me no choice but to spend more of my day with IE and Chrome. But I don't want to do this and would not if Flash could just be at all reliable in Firefox.
BTW, I have tried the advice in the forums but this seems to be a deep down and fundamental issue that PR cannot overcome. The whole "container" strategy is a failure from my pov. While isolating Flash in another process/thread may make sense technically, I really don't want to have notifications of both Flash and container crashes. Really unsettling!
Flash should just work for everyone from the get go without all this fuss.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(See [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html this Adobe blog post] for technical details about Flash protected mode.)
For recent updates for Adobe Shockwave Flash, please update your version to 14.
Please refer to the security updates [http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-18.html and Adobe Security Bulletin] for more information.

Youtube is completly broken under firefox.(chrome/IE works normally)

Hello, since a day or two (22/nov/2013) youtube is not displayed proprely, in fact the whole page is a real mess and its unusable under firefox. I had to use chrome to watch videos today because of that.
I have the latest flash updates, same goes for firefox.
I made a screenshot of the whole things, but it doesnt seem like I can include it to this post.

A short time ago, Youtube changed its page navigation model from loading the entire page when you click a link to modifying the contents of the current page (similar to how instant prediction results work in Google search). Since the page will lay out correctly for you on reload, it suggests that something is interfering with the normal operation of the scripts that modify the pages when you navigate between videos.
Note: If you notice this problem primarily when going "back" you could work around a problem with the in-memory cache by making a setting change. This forces Firefox to re-parse the page and may slow down "Back" on all sites by some milliseconds. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers''' preference and change it to 0 (that's a zero).
Background on that: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863 When I go back to Google search results page, it takes me to a blank Google screen]

How can I change the proportional font in Firefox?

I prefer helvetica font, so I have changed the fonts for webpages in Firefox settings to it (changed all fonts to helvetica, unchecked "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"). However, some webpages still display in what I presume is the seriff font under proportional font. It would be nice to get all webpages to display in helvetica font but it seems that firefox only allows seriff or sans seriff for the proportional font.
How can I make all the webpages display with the same font: helvetica?
Please do not tell me how to change the other fonts; once again, I have done that.
I only want to know if and how the PROPORTIONAL FONT can be changed or disabled, so that all webpages display in helvetica.

I found it. In fact, the proportional ask you if you prefer serif or sans-serif. Then, under this, you can choose what serif is, and what sans-serif is.
By example, I wanted my proportional font to be the Mona font. So I put sans-serif for proportional, and then I changed sans-serif for Mona.

Hi kglad,
The problem was coming from my server.
I recently played with some settings from a "cache control tool" offered by my hosting but i thought i had it back at default. Turns out i must've missed something. Now i have the .html caching on and everything works good on all browser.
I have another question tho...
I'd like to know if there's a way to cache an html file without having to ask my hoster to cache all of my htmls...
I'm using this code now but maybe there's a way to add something that will cache this page specifically?

Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

I am running Windows XP HE with SP4. IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box. I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer. However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox. The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product. My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over. However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing. The program remains listed. I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything. The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program. There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ . Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon. Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin. Removing it was not an option. First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service. Removing it was not an option. Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree. I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player. (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.) This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM. However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded." So nothing changed. Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled. The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated. I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site. Same result, no help. And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly. Very likely an incorrect registry entry. But good luck finding that one without help.
NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support . Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond? Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
Thanks!

Recognizing fonts under common files

I have stored all fonts under:
Program Files >> Common Files >> Adobe >>
Fonts
All my Adobe Applicaitons read these fonts from this folder.
So, I do not
have to load the fonts into the system fonts folder.
Is there a way to get Flash to read fonts from this folder?
I'm using Flash 8.
Thanks.

Thanks!!! I'll give that a try. I guess they won't work in Illustrator (the folder above was common to all the Adobe programs), but I guess InDesign is good enough since that's mostly where I'm working. I did have to switch back to an older version of Illustrator to edit the font in a logo earlier. But maybe if I create a Fonts folder in the Illustrator directory that'll work too. Anyway, thanks -- I somehow missed those folders earlier (thought I always had to be in x86 for some reason).
Thanks, Phyllis

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 ?

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 , for this >>

Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:

Then right click bring up this menu while inside active field and click on item with arrrow:
http://screencast.com/t/ZTRjMWRkMzk
Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
A. Your advice is incorrect
B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.
