Bug report: Firefox5 uses the wrong unicode fonts (tested on Hebrew fonts)

Even though the css defines the fonts as
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
Firefox5 which I have just upgraded to does not use the Hebrew Ariel font but goes for the first Hebrew font it finds installed on my system. In my case it's a font family called TheSmokerSerif, but since this is not a system font I assume this issue would be encountered by other users too.
I recommend updating FF5 with a bugfix soon as this is bound to affect many unicode sites and would render Firefox5 unreadable (literally)

I am also experiencing this annoying issue in FF5. On some websites (usbank.com, tweetdeck.com, for example), the primary Helvetica/Arial fonts are being replaced with the first Helvetica font it finds in my Windows fonts folder. As a result, ALL text on the screen was using some ultra wide + bold Helvetica font and near impossible to read.
It took me a while to track it down, but after finding and manually DELETING the wrong Helvetica font being used from the Windows fonts folder, I restarted Firefox, and then the main font was replaced with some Ultra Light variant of Helvetica (the next font in line). I then deleted THAT font, restarted, and now websites are displaying correctly again.
This is pretty annoying, as somehow the two Helvetica fonts I deleted are being automatically reinstalled on my system after a day or two. And when this happens, Firefox starts using the wrong Helvetica fonts again.
Unfortunately I JUST fixed it again otherwise I would provide a picture or two. But I searched for "Firefox using wrong helvetica font" in Google and found this support thread.
I hope this bug gets resolved very soon!

  • Form & Reports Server uses the wrong alias (localhost.localdomain)

    We installed Oracle Application Server 9i (1.0.2.2.1) on a RedHat 7.1 machine. The database (8.1.7) is installed on another computer with RedHat 6.2 installed.
    At the installation something goes wrong. He took the localhost.localdomain as alias for the computername and inserted this in some scripts - a large part of them are APACHE scripts.
    Rerun the SSODATAN script solved the problem with the login server.
    Install.log contains no errors!
    But we have not found the points where the forms- and reportsserver is registerd.
    It is possible to edit this entries by hand or is there a possiblity to install the forms- and report server manually.
    Thx

    Hi,
    Its not possible to selectively install Forms and Reports, you will have to reinstall iAS.
    Thanks,

  • Is this a bug or am I using the wrong flags in userChrome.css

    I'd like to have my Bookmark Toolbar automatically hide until I move my mouse over the location. I found some code a while ago to do this, but I never really tried it until now with FF4. When I put in the code and move the bookmark toolbar into the self-hiding panel, it works fine until I open a new window or exit/restart the browser.
    <br />
    <pre>#PersonalToolbar {display: none;}
    #navigator-toolbox:hover > #PersonalToolbar {display: -moz-box;}
    </pre>
    The auto-hide until hover works fine with the box, but the Bookmark Toolbar comes up completely empty. No arrow, just empty space. Every time I comment out the line in userChrome.css, the buttons reappear. When I move the bookmark toolbar out and then re-enable the line and restart, the buttons are fine when I move them back in until the next exit.
    I've tried this on three machines (all Windows 7 though, both 32-bit and 64-bit) and the behavior is the same. I've also tried disabling all add-ons and extensions with no change in the results.
    Is this a bug or am I using the wrong flags (-moz-box)? Thanks for any ideas/help provided.

    cor-el:
    Thanks for the suggestion. I already tried rebuilding that file as well and it didn't help. Also, all the changes I make are retained from session to session in terms of placement and what's shown/hidden, it's just the contents of the bookmark toolbar that disappear. The toolbar is still there and I can drag things to it, but again, they disappear after restarting the browser.
    edit (clarification):
    When I say the items disappear, I mean they are no longer visible or clickable. They are still there in the sense that they appear in the Bookmark menu and if I move the Bookmark Toolbar from its own toolbar into the space next to the Menu Toolbar, they are then shown.

  • How to install and use the Khmer unicode Khmer MEF1 and Khmer MEF2?

    How to install and use the Khmer unicode Khmer MEF1 and Khmer MEF2?
    from www.mef.gov.kh in the bottom of the page, you can get the unicode for the ms office

    I think that stuff is for windows, a waste of time trying to use it on a Mac.
    There is no need to download anything for Khmer on a Mac.  Apple provides Khmer fonts and keuyboards with OS X.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Type in another language
    MS Word for Mac does not support Khmer.  Use TextEdit, Pages, Nisus Writer, LibreOffice instead

  • Business Objects Webi Report looks at the wrong universe

    Hi,
    Problem: A Webi Report that is believed to be running off Universe A in Dev A Environment no longer works because for an unknown reason it is trying to run off Universe A (same name different version) in Dev B Environment where most of the objects do not exist.
    Universe A has not been changed in either Environments. Reports were working yesterday but not today (reports were not changed too).
    Any ideas what may have caused this? The only way we were able to find out that it was using the wrong universe was when we checked the Universe in the properties of the Query.
    Many thanks.

    hi Saleem,
    in the above senario,  how can a WebI report automatically catch Bad Universe.  (we cannot save 2 universes of same name in one folder).  So how the above senario happned.
    regards

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

    I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

    Put the link of the website into Google translate at [http://translate.google.com/#de|en|], then click the translate button. You will then get a link on the right hand side of the page which will take you to a translated version of the page.

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?
