Bold fonts on certain websites - font smoothing gone wild?

Hi,
I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro last week and I'm having a bit of an issue regarding font smoothing/font rendering on certain websites. I'll do my best to try and explain...
When loading certain websites (mainly vBulletin-based forums, but this happens on quite a few other sites too) the text looks bold and ugly, the same sites look fine on my friends 15" MacBook Pro and 24" iMac - as an example, his looks like the sample on the left and mine looks like the sample on the right:
http://i47.tinypic.com/e7b8ro.jpg (not my screenshot, but my issue is exactly the same)
I've done some searching and other people have fixed this problem using the following command:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
This basically changes the hidden font smoothing settings which were removed in 10.6, in 10.5 you had the following options to choose from:
Automatic - Best for Main Display
Standard - Best for CRT (1)
Light (2)
Medium - Best for Flat Panel (3)
Strong (4)
If I set the command above to 1, 2 or 3 my fonts don't change at all and still look bold and horrible. If I set the command to "4" (Strong), do the usual log out and back in, then I get the correct looking fonts on the websites I had issues with BUT my system fonts and other websites now have a very soft, almost out of focus font, probably due to this being the Strong smoothing setting. Likewise if I set the command to "0" (turning font smoothing off) I get the correct looking fonts on the problematic websites but again system fonts look odd, not nice and smooth (due to font smoothing being turned off)
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can try next please? Could this be down to the resolution/DPI of the 13" MBP's screen?
Thanks,
Verta

Hey! I had exactly the same issue as you! Do you have an addon called WebSecurityKeeper installed into your Firefox, without your permission? Check your Addons list pls. I had this addon and when I uninstalled it, my fonts in Firefox returned to normal.
Its possibly a malicious addon. But I am not sure. I have no idea how it got installed my computer.

  • Font Smoothing GONE--Help!!!

    I'm running 10.6.2, and I pretty much have ZERO font smoothing whenever I ctrl-mouse zoom on any menu, any text, any program. This is on my MacBook Pro (2 years old) that had perfect font smoothing in Leopard.
    I've turned off the CRT checkbox in System Preferences—doesn't help
    I've used Terminal to run defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1 and also tried 2 and 3 and even reverting to defaults—doesn't help
    I've used Font Book to validate fonts and remove duplicates (especially after Office 2004 install)—doesn't help
    I've also rebooted after all these operations—still almost zilch smoothing on zoom
    Even Finder looks AWFUL
    Help! My MBP looks like crap now!

    That sounds good. A lot of tests to run! Hate to do the new user test, but will if I have to.
    I am really leaning toward the Option-Command-"\" having (unintentionally) turned OFF Screen Zoom (under mouse or trackpad) Image Smoothing.
    How could it take me so long to learn that there is Font Smoothing, and there is Image Smoothing. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
    The Chain of Blame here is so convoluted it hurts my brain.
    1. Evernote was trying to reinstall web clipping and/or its Safari plug-in ever since I converted to Snow Leopard. (Massive evidence of this in Console error messages, and they are hilarious: "Can't get Elephant!" and "Can't install icon!" over and over and over again. Just give it up, Evernote!)
    2. So one day Evernote's interference with Safari messes up my executing the Option-Command-"\" command to log into my bank (it's normally a 1Password keyboard shortcut that works great in Safari).
    3. Option-Command-"\" reverts back to its "normal" designation (turn on/off Screen Zoom (under mouse or trackpad) Image Smoothing).
    4. I hit Option-Command-"\" repeatedly, trying to get the 1Password HUD to pop up in Safari. It doesn't.
    5. By hitting Option-Command-"\" so many times, I unintentionally turn off Screen Zoom Image Smoothing. Only I don't realize it.
    If this theory IS correct, then it's a simple fix!
    The lesson learned would be:
    System Preferences, Personal, Appearance, Font Smoothing
    is a DIFFERENT preference from
    System Preferences, Mouse/Trackpad, (Two Fingers), Screen Zoom, Options, Smooth Images
    Of course, I'll report back just as soon as my SuperDuper backup finishes and I can try this test.
    And if this IS the problem, well, I blame it on the elephant.

  • Font Size Gone Wild

    I'm having this weird problem on the site I'm building. Every so often, when I put something in italic, the font size for the word I've italicized ends up way bigger than the words around it.
    I have been marking the word I want to italicize and using the Font tab in the Format pulldown to select Italic.
    So I decided to mark the word and use the Show Fonts pulldown to select exactly the type I want (Helvetica Neua 12 pt. italic) for the word. But that didn't work either.
    What is going on?

    I got burned out trying to fix this and haven't gone back to it until today.
    Still can't solve the problem, and I'm talking the site live on Monday.
    I don't really understand your suggestion aboout publishing the site to a folder on my hard drive.
    Can you explain in a bit more detail?
    This is just nuts. If I leave the words in question in roman type there's no problem. As soon as I add the italics the font size on the italacised words jumps up several sizes. I tried using command i to italicize the words, but that didn't make any difference either. I tried putting the text into Word and pasting it into the box. That didn't help.
    Right now I'm thinking I'll just have to leave these book titles in roman.

  • After "cleaning up" my fonts, all text in certain websites is bold. Please help.

    About a week ago, I deleted every font in font book that had a yellow circle (this is a problematic font) warning next to it, thinking that it would help stabilize Word. Now all the text on certain websites, e.g. https://www.lexisnexis.com/start/signin?service=lexis&contractURL=https%3a%2f%2f w3.lexis.com%2fresearch2%2fauthResource.do%3f_m%3d04e7cec9cf984a4030f980679eaa70 6b&key=_c4BE55E57-F002-DA05-DE3F-49B4F056C0EF_kD6B95D8A-DB53-3E64-E981-13ED11BB5 374&event=form, that should be plain shows up bolded. Italicized text does not have this problem. I have only found one other website on which I have this problem (some blog), the problem is that I use the website above all the time.
    Chrome, Firefox, Safari, all the same.
    Thanks,

    Hi ..
    Might be a duplicate ..
    Open the Font Book app.
    From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates
    If it's not a duplicate issue, from the menu bar click File > Restore Standard Fonts

  • Fonts screwed up on certain websites

    My Firefox installation at work used to display all websites fine. But starting a few months ago, the fonts displayed on certain websites (that always looked fine before) started looking of low quality. These websites look fine when I look at them at home or with IE.
    I've tried working with Tools - Options - Content - Fonts and Colors - Advanced but haven't found anything to help yet. If I turn OFF "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" the problem fonts are fixed, but then all pages display the same font and I don't like that.
    I've even tried removing and re-installing Firefox, but that doesn't help. In fact, my computer manages to remember all my old bookmarks without my having to re-import them, so there are some settings files that are not getting erased when I re-install.
    Below is a screen grab from BoingBoing.net so you can see what the fonts look like.
    Does anyone know how to fix this, or how to re-set all the font settings on Firefox back to the defaults?

    Following up, attached is an image from BoingBoing.net showing what the displayed fonts look like.

  • Font issues...only noticing issues on certain websites

    This could end up being a Safari issue but I am posting here because I am noticing the problem after I upgraded to Leopard.
    Whenever I go to certain websites, instant messenger chats, various video players i.e. Comcast Fan, You Tube, etc. I can barely read the font. I am only noticing this on the items I just listed. I was chatting with a friend in instant messenger and I could barely understand what they were writing because of the font.
    At first I thought it was a Comcast Cable internet thing but I am noticing it more and more on other sites. It's the same font too.
    So I am trying to see how I can make it a font that I can clearly read and understand.
    In the Safari preferences, I selected APPEARANCES to see if I could change anything there. This is what I have it set as currently:
    Standard Font = Times New Roman 16
    Fixed Font = Courier 13
    Default Encoding = Western (ISO Latin 1)
    Thanks

    Baltwo,
    Its not necessarily the size thats the problem its the actual font. It almost looks like Graffiti which is hard to read. I am only seeing this on my desktop. I also have a Macbook pro laptop and everything on those sites I listed looks perfect. I do NOT have leopard on my MBP.

  • Bold fonts in many websites

    Hi,
    Since I removed Office 2011 and reset FontBook (booting into Safe Mode), many sites are displaying in bold fonts (google, facebook, cnn...).
    It happens in Safari (but also in Chrome).
    How could I get rid of this issue? Any idea?
    Thanks in advance!

    FYI I had the same problem (bold fonts in many web sites). All my fonts checked out OK in Fontbook and FontDoctor. I could not find my Snow Leopard install disks, so I resorted to systematically moving fonts out of my /Library/Fonts folder.
    After a very long binary search (remove half the fonts, reboot, check for issue, repeat) I finally narrowed on the problem font: Georgia Bold.ttf
    *Take Georgia Bold.ttf out of your /Library/Fonts folder and the problem disappears.*
    Why this happens? Well, all I've got is a theory. Georgia is a font developed by Microsoft that is supposed to be easier to read on-screen (a really bold version of Times basically). Some web sites design for Georgia, but if it isn't present they fail over to regular old Times Roman.
    So if this Georgia font gets installed on your machine, you starting seeing a number of sites that have coded for it (for me it was Lifehacker.com) appear 'broken' – with really ugly bold text. Georgia displays ok on Windows, but on the mac it is really inelegant. See how it looks in different browsers/OS's here:
    http://i.imgur.com/0F6nU.png
    So really this font isn't 'broken' or corrupted, it's working just the was Microsoft and the site designer intended it to. This is why when you check for duplicate or corrupted fonts everything seems ok. The real problem is that neither Microsoft nor the site designers ever bothered to check and see how this franken-font displayed on a mac.
    So how did this evil Microsoft font get on your system? For me it was Microsoft Office 2011. If you dig through the package contents Georgia is one of the numerous fonts it installs.
    Long story short: like most things *it's Microsoft's fault*. Thank you very much for destroying my Sunday evening Mr. Ballmer (can't blame Gates anymore, he's out saving the world).
    Hope this helps someone else. Just move/delete Georgia Bold.ttf from /Library/Fonts and you should see the difference when you open the sites in Safari.

  • Deactivated Subpixel Font Smoothing In Safari

    I was reading an apple technical note ( https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/technotes/tn2220/_index.html ) within the Safari browser and noticed that the text font did not appear to be smoothed. I confirmed the fact by zooming and making note of the lack of color within the letter which is a sure marker of font smoothing. Late that day I noticed the same thing in the Harmony Central Forums ( http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Electric-Guitars/Review-NGD-Xavier-XV-500-Pics- and-Recording/m-p/29888705/highlight/true#M3683950 ). I then opened the same pages in both Firefox and Chrome, both of with rendered the text using subpixel font smoothing. One further thing that stuck me as odd is that Safari does use subpixel rendering on certain pages, such as the text in this forum. I have searched for an option to turn subpixel smoothing on within the Safari preferences, but had no luck along that route.
    I don't think this has anything to do with it but I thought I would mention that I have the "Use LCD Font Smoothing" within the General System Preferences set to Level 2 (done with a terminal command). edit- I actually just set LCD Font Smooth to the standard (bolder) on setting and then restarted Safari. It made the text that was previously smoothed dark, but had no effect on the previously (and still) un-smoothed text.
    I was hoping someone could tell me what is going on here and how to activate subpixel smoothing within Safari, because I like the browser and the way smoothed fonts look.
    (I am using Mavericks, Safari 7, Chrome 31 and Firefox 25)

    Unfortunately, we do not support fonts on your operating system. Hopefully another customer is more familiar with this.

  • How can i take out the bold fonts from webpage?

    Hello,
    My website homepage is all in bold fonts and after trying everything i thought to solve the problem, i cant find a way to un-bold the font.
    This the page i am referring  http://silentdisco.de/
    Hope you could help... I have this situation for some time and i really dont know what i could do to solve it.
    Thanks so much in advance for your help.

    Start by removing the inline styles from your HTML code.  You've got quite a few of them.
    <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-size: 20px;"></span>
    CSS styles belong in your style sheet.

  • Font smoothing, font sizing, sub-pixel tuning, OS X vs Windows

    I have a query regarding font the font smoothing implementation in OS X.
    Having just come from the Windows world (using ClearType) naturally comparisons will be made. I am trying to get fonts looking as readable as possible on my Mac. I have 19" LCD connected via DVI so would expect no issues there. It seems difficult to get fonts looking... crisp. I am starting from the basis of using font smoothing across the board as recommended. Turn off smoothing is set to font size 8 or smaller.
    I note with respect to tuning of font smoothing (anti-aliasing) that there is not a 'fine tuning' tool like as made available on Windows...
    http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx
    for the Mac. At least I can't find anything Googling. And I am not thinking of TinkerTool as that is not a fine tuner. The Windows ClearType tuner can really make a noticeable difference by adjusting the sub-pixel tuning. Is there any equivalent tool/configuration option available for Macs?

    You must have extremely good vision to be able to
    tell the enhacement made by ClearType on XGA or
    better displays. I wish my eyesight is as good as
    yours.
    Well by your own admission you must be half blind, and I think you must be if you can't see the difference between - and let's be precise about this - no anti-aliasing vs. anti-aliasing +- sub-pixel rendering. Whether on Windows and/or OS X. There is.
    Subpixel rendering is a trick used when resolution of
    displays are challenged and small font readability is
    crucial.
    Today, the only place this makes sense is on
    cell phones when you are trying to render small type
    like a webpage.
    I believe the website links I posted show that I have a reasonable grasp of what sub-pixel rendering is, that was not the purpose of my question. Also, actually, you are incorrect when you state that sub-pixel rendering is relevant/necessary only for small fonts. The exact opposite is true - usually sub-pixel rendering (including in OS X) is turned off for small fonts because it tends to make them more unreadable.
    On desktop displays today at XGA or greater resolution,
    the tradeoff in enhancing a bit in resolution is
    outweighed by the added computation cycles needed to
    filter the entire display so the eye sees "grey" on
    average rather than red or green or blue.
    Well you better rush and tell Apple to rip it out of OS X... because they seem to disagree with you as both anti-aliasing and sub-pixel rendering are included, and encouraged to be used, in OS X!
    I'm sorry, but your statements are just plainly wrong and unconsidered.
    Back to my - still unanswered, factual and valid question. The implementation of anti-aliasing + sub-pixel rendering in OS X does not appear, and I am stating this unbiasedly, to be as good as it could be (as I have seen in Windows). BTW this is not solely my finding as a number of very experienced Mac users have pointed out:
    Here...
    http://www.michelf.com/weblog/2006/subpixel-antialiasing-achilles-heel/
    and here...
    http://www.betalogue.com/2006/01/24/pages-20-does-not-fix-font-smoothing-issue/
    and here...
    http://mjtsai.com/blog/2006/02/04/font-smoothing-in-pages/
    I gather from the replies I have received thus far, and from research on the Internet, that there is currently no way - going into Unix config files or by some utility - to address this issue. Hopefully it will be improved in a later version of OS X.
    BTW - this does not stop me loving my new Mac!

  • Font Smoothing CE 6.0 Thin Clients

    We need to handle Font Smoothing on HP Thin Clients. This is supported on newer Thin Clients with RDP7 and Font Smoothing settings.
    Older Win CE 6.0 do not appear to support Font Smoothing.
    Is there a way to set up Font Smoothothing or can these thin clients be updated with RDP option to support Font Smoothing?
    Thanks Lex

    I too had the same problem just last night. It happened when I was changing the font and font size. It seemed that everytime I switched the font and font size, the text got more and more pixelated and less smooth (identical to the screenshot you just posted).
    I backed up my Torch, did a security wipe and then restored the backup file back onto the device. That didn't work, as the text still looked horrible.
    So what I did next was do a device switch from my Torch back onto my Bold 9000, security wiped the Torch then did a device switch from the Bold 9000 back onto the Torch and the text was back to normal! It was a long process but it seemed to do the trick. So if you have another BlackBerry sitting around it might be worth trying, just remember to back up your Torch before hand.
    My Torch is also running v6.0.0.246, Platform 6.4.0.105 through Rogers. Hope this helps you out.
    Good Luck!

  • Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?

    hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!

    hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
    i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
    here's my modified userchrome.css
    /* Inactive Tab */
    tab:not([selected="true"]) {
    color:white !important;}
    /* Tab while loading */
    tab[busy] {
    color: blue !important;}
    tab .tab-text {
    font-size: 12px !important;
    /* tab font */
    tab .tab-text {
    font-family:Verdana !important;
    i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background

  • Safari Font Smoothing: Not an option?

    I just purchased an iMac yesterday. It is incredible. I've done some research with the programs installed, and I came across the following web page that discusses how to turn on "font smoothing" with Safari: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/apple/make-fonts-less-fuzzy-in-safari-for-windows /
    However, when I follow the author's directions, I do not see the option for "font shadowing" -- I see everything else: standard font, fixed-width font, display images when page opens, and default encoding. I upgraded Safari to 3.1 (as my computer came with a slightly less version) last evening, too.
    Is this still possible? Am I missing something?

    Thanks, Bee! That explains everything.
    My concern is, that in Safari, lowercase i's look like lowercase l's. I would show you a screenshot, but I don't think a "Print Screen" button exists, does it?
    When you visit the following link, the text on the screen makes the separation between the dot in the "i" nonexistent:
    http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com
    I hope you know what I am referencing. When I'm typing in this box, they appear fine. But, when I view certain web pages, they do not. I do hope this makes sense. Is this fixable or something I will just have to live with?
