Cannot change font for UTF-8 pages in FF 4.0.1

No matter whether I change Options > Content > Default font, or go to Options > Content > Advanced and set Sans Serif for Other Languages, nothing changes—for instance, on this forum. Everything's still Times New Roman from the looks of it.
The Sans Serif font for Other Languages is set to Arial.
There's no Unicode entry in the list. The Other Languages is the closest I could find.
I have Options > Content > Advanced > Allow pages to choose their own fonts… unchecked.
I made similar changes for Western, and that worked—for pages detected as having ISO-8859-1 encoding.
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
<rant>
On a more general note, I think that the font setup in Firefox is so over-complicated. I personally want all my pages in a single font, and I don't care if some weird languages are displayed incorrectly with it. I bet that most people do want the same, even them who speak those weird languages. It's just a matter of picking one font that works for the languages you care about.
Now that might not work perfectly for everybody so there should be an advanced option—an ability to add overrides. It should be similar to how it works now but the list of overrides should be user-customizable and '''empty by default.''' So that we regular people don't bother ourselves with encodings and languages we're never going to use.
I wonder if I'm the only one who's disappointed with FF's font settings. Couldn't find anything on this topic on the 'net.
</rant>

'''Xircal:''' this does not seem to be the case. When I go to Options > Content > Advanced > Other Languages I can see that Proportional is set to Sans Serif, and that Sans-Serif is set to Arial. The following line is also in my about:config:
font.default.x-unicode user set string sans-serif
'''cor-el:''' yes this is the address. While on this page, if I go to View > Character Encoding, the active selection is Unicode (UTF-8).
'''Edit:''' if I manually change this site's encoding to Western (ISO-8859-1) the font changes to that I specified for Western encoding in Advanced font options.

  • How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

    I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
    is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
    I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
    tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
    some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
    when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
    Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
    otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

    It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
    It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
    Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

  • Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

    I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?
    dan

    You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

  • HOW CAN I CHANGE FONT STYLE IN INDEX PAGE FOR IBA?

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the font style in INDEX page for iBA?
    Naidu

    NO. In the index page. I figured out that we can change the space and text formate.
    I am preparing a bokk with 1 chapter and 13 section.
    SO, in the index page it is showing like 1.1, 1.2.......1.10, 1.11 so on; on the left hand side and page numbers on the right hand side.
    Can i take out the numbers on the left and have only the section name and page number?
    If so how?

  • Ibooks cannot change font of English on the new ipad

    I cannot change the font of English in ibooks 3.0.1. Especially those books I exported by Pages. While I can change the font of some books I downloaded from Internet. How can i deal with that proble?

    +1 here too.
    iphone 4s works fine with gmail and gmail set up via exchange, Ipad1 (OS5) gmail setup works, but exchange setup does not.  All settings correct based on google support for setting up Exchange accounts on iOS devices.  I tried most of the same tricks as the original poster. No luck though. It has been >12 hours now since I last tried.  The device doesn't show up on the list of devices on the google page that shows which devices are syncing with Exchange.

  • Verizon Webmail Editing fails in IE9 - Cannot change Font or Character Size

    I recently switched from IE8 to IE9, and now in Rich Text I cannot highlight and change Font family of Font Size.
    The highlight disappears when I click one of the Font dropdowns, and the cursor jumps to the head of the message.
    I can select a Font size and/or family, then position the cursor, then enter text, and it is the correct size and family,
    but I cannot after that change it.  If I paste something into the message, I cannot change that.
    This fails on two computers running WIN8-64bit and IE9.
    It does not fail in Firefox.
    Verizon says it is Microsoft's problem.  I think Verizon's webmail client provider needs to talk to MIcrosoft.
    Does anyone have this configuration with this problem?
    Does anyone have this configuration without this problem, and if so, any idea what to change?
    Has anyone a solution to offer (except returning to IE8 where it worked)?

    Thanks for the quick reply, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but the moment I unchecked it everything started appearing a bit fuzzy. Not as crisp as it normally should. (unless the real effect happens after restarting FF)
    Regardless I still don't see how my graphics driver would be the issue, because isn't IE9 technically using it as well? And it showed those special characters just fine other than making em appear a bit smaller.
    Also I forgot to mention this, but atm its only happening when I'm viewing that particular page with FF. If I view another different site (like a forum) that has the same or at least similar sets of those special characters, they are showing up fine. If I copy/paste those texts from IE9 onto FF then again they would show up fine.
    There's also some forum posts I did which involved me copy/pasting those special characters from that page (before updating to FF12), now when I look at those posts they haven't changed at all as that page has.
    So the problem here is not being able to view those characters completely but rather why they would appear different especially on that page unlike when viewed from different sources/browsers.

  • How to change font size on web page when have no icon in View tool to do so

    menu bar at top of screen does not have icon to change font size of a web page as described in your support information--you show it as between stop and reload in View icon and I do not have it at all in my toolbar.

  • Cannot change font size when highlighted. All font changes. How do I correct this?

    Frustrated as to why when I highlight a single word to change font size or style every word on the page follows the adjustment. I need to be able to change words individually with font, size and color.

    I have stopped using Text Edit as I find it flaky. Instead I prefer Bean:

    which does not have that problem!

  • Cannot change font from Lucinda Grande

    Hi, recently when creating text using the text generator in FCP 5.1.2 i am unable to chance the font to anything. it is stuck on Lucinda Grande. All other drop menus are functional except for this one. Am i missing something obvious here? It has definitly worked fine before.. any ideas?
    Thanks, Matt

    Are you using FCP's Text tool? For me it has always been the most under-developed and unreliable part of the application. If you haven't already, try recreating your text files in Boris Title 3D (it's in the Boris folder in the Video Generators Folder in the Effects Tab of the Browser). It's easy to use and much more flexible - like allowing you to have different font styles and sizes in the same line, use a lot of cool effects in the Style Palette, etc.
    Also, if you haven't already, do the old standby trash your preferences and repair permissions. Curious: can you change fonts in any other applications?

  • Changing Font for JLabels

    Hello, I have created a small test program using a JComboBox. The purpose of this program is to change a JLabel to a certain font, based on the font that the user chooses from the JComboBox. My main concern is actually changing to font and I have no clue how to do this.
    The following is the code for this test program:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class FontTest implements ActionListener{
         JFrame frame;
         JPanel contentPane;
         JComboBox font;
         JLabel fontPrompt, word;
         public FontTest(){
              frame = new JFrame("Font Styles");
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              contentPane = new JPanel();
              contentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(contentPane, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
              contentPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
              fontPrompt = new JLabel("Select a font: ");
              fontPrompt.setAlignmentX(JLabel.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
              contentPane.add(fontPrompt);
              String[] names = {"Times New Roman", "Ariel"}; //any font names that are available
              font = new JComboBox(names);
              font.setAlignmentX(JComboBox.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
              font.setSelectedIndex(0);
              font.addActionListener(this);
              contentPane.add(font);
              word = new JLabel("font styles");
              word.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(20, 0, 0, 0));
              contentPane.add(word);
              frame.setContentPane(contentPane);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
              JComboBox comboBox = (JComboBox)event.getSource();
              String fontWord = (String)comboBox.getSelectedItem();
              if(fontWord == "Times New Roman"){//if any of these choices in the JComboBox are clicked,
                                                      //I would like the JLabel "font styles" to change font.                              
              else if(fontWord == "Ariel"){
         private static void runGUI(){
              JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
              FontTest display = new FontTest();
         public static void main(String[] args){
              javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
                   public void run(){
                        runGUI();
    }It would be great if you guys could help me. Any font style is alright.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Build a Font object and call setFont on the JLabel.
    Hope that help,
