Characters overlapping in safari

I have a problem with characters overlapping in Safari. I used to work fine, then one day a bunch of sites don't work right. They do however work in firefox.
Another problem I think might be related is; some pages don't load all of the content in Safari, but Firefox will.
I've seen similar posts, but none of them are answered.

Hi,

For the font problem, have you tried launching Font Book (in the Applications folder) to see if you have any duplicate fonts? Duplicate fonts will have a bullet point to the right of the name. If any do, select them and then from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
Quit and restart Safari to see if that makes any difference.
Failing that, try running [FontNuke|http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn> to clear out all font caches.
Good luck!

Rotated ASCII characters overlap in Text Layout Framework with specific Japanese/Chinese fonts

I am trying to layout rotated text with Text Layout Framework. Mostly okay, but when it comes to specific Japanese/Chinese fonts, problem happens - "hankaku" alphanumeric characters(in other words, ASCII characters) overlap in those fonts. (Full-width "zenkaku" characters have no problem, though)
When "HG丸ｺﾞｼｯｸM-PRO" or "HG正楷書体-PRO" are specified as fontFamily(both come with Office - common fonts in Japanese Windows environment), characters are wholly overlapped.
When "SimSun", "NSimSun" or "SimHei" are specified as fontFamily(Chinese fonts, all come with Japanese Windows XP), characters are slightly overlapped.
If anyone knows a solution or a workaround to this, please let me know.

Not that I know of. Your problem is that you're loading the
content
dynamically, so you have no idea what it will contain.
There's normally
no need to embed Japanese fonts for a Japanese audience,
because they
already have the main fonts, such as Mincho, Gothic, or Osaka
on their
machine. Perhaps you'll just have to give up the idea of
rotation.

PDF output: characters overlap

Friends,
I have an issue where, my document output is configured for sending email as PDF attachment. The issue is the PDF generated have some characters overlapping.
When printed directly from the document, the output is as expected. The spool created in SP01 also looks perfect.
But if I convert this spool into PDF using RSTXPDFT4, the PDF generated will have the same issue; 'characters are overlapped'.
Can anyone please guide me to find the cause of the issue? Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Deeps

We are getting right hand side characters truncated for PDF output when Conc Prog is run through EBS.This is the problem.Is it a seeded or custom concurrent program? Does this happen to all requests or specific ones only?
But while saving the file on dektop and printing both left and right hand side characters gets printed well within the margin area.What if you print the same file from the server using the lp command?
What could be the problem here please?Could anyone please share the resolution.
Page size used is: 81/2 x 11 - Letter.What is the printer type/style?
Have you tried different printer?
Also, have you tried to adjust the number of Rows/Columns of this concurrent program?
Please see if (Custom Landscape Reports In PDF Format Print In Portrait Orientation [ID 421358.1]) helps.
Thanks,
Hussein

Text characters Overlapping themselves

Hi Community,
After exporting my indesign file to fixed-layout epub, the text characters overlap themselves. But they appear OK with the original file. Please how can I solve this problem. I sincerely need your help

I can image the laborious job it was. There's a quick tutorial here: How to design fixed layout EPUB | Adobe InDesign CC tutorials, but I think you need to get familiar with the basic use of paragraph styles on Indesign. There are several books available. One that is recommended here is Indesign CC: Visual QuickStart Guide by Sandee Cohen: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321929578/ There is also lynda.com that has very good tutorials.

Accents and special characters disabled in Safari

I recently installed Mac OS Lion and since then I have some issues typing the special accents and characters in my Spanish keyboard. Does anyone have a hint on why this happens?
Thanks.

Hi,
I had almost the same problem (only different language) and manged to solve it after "google-ing" these links:
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=658760&sid=7fd77de133ee32213d987cb1550ae568

http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13804_02/gblsupp.htm
FYI, system is AIX 5.3 with Oracle 10g.
I've edited .profile for boxi user and added appropriate export of NLS_LANG variable, then restarted BO and now reports are correct.
I guess you should try adding this line to .profile of your boxi user
export NLS_LANG=ITALIAN_ITALY.WE8MSWIN1252
then restart and see results.
Hope this helps,

Weird characters displaying in Safari and Apple Mail

I have a macbook air 13in, its been working terrific for the last 3 weeks. However, today Apple mail is garbling email messages and Safari is not rendering web pages correctly? I tried rebooting, shutting down my router, everything, still there.
Strangely, Chrome is rendering the pages without any issues.
What possibly could be wrong? Does anyone else have this issue?
Any help is appreciated.

I fixed my issue, here is what I did:
1. Delete Safari
2. Downloaded it and re-installed.
3. Did the same for Google Chrome which was crashing on adobe flash consistently.
4. All better now for Apple Mail, Safari, and Chrome.
Somehow some Safari file must have gotten corrupted.

My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters

My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters. Is there a fix for this or does anyone have an idea what may be going on? I have looked at my fonts and everything seems to be working just fine. I can't quite figure out why this only happens to certain text and not others. But I can't read half of the pages on the web because of this. I can copy the mixed up text out of Safari and past it in another application and the copy is in perfect english then.
an example of what I am talking about is below:
(Kvg"Urgekhkeu"/Crmg"/"Crmg"Fgumvqru
Here is what it says when I copy the same characters out of Safari and paste them below:

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

I work as a graphic designer so I keep a very clsoe eye on my font library. In fact I don't use font Book, I use Suitcase Fusion. But i went to font book and double checked and I don't have any duplicae fonts in there. Would you have any other ideas?
thanks for your help!

The font is overlapping and two large in safari opened web pages

How do I get my font to go back to normal and stop overlapping in safari?

1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

[Solved]spacing between characters not correct on any termial emulator

Hi All,
I'm using Xfce on my laptop. The fonts don't look right in any of the terminal emulators. I've tried Xfce terminal, guake and terminator. Each one of them shows the same problem, sometimes the characters overlap and sometimes they are too far apart. You can have a look at the screenshot for xrandr output.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rqmfy64iv137g … on_002.png
However, xterm looks just fine.
I'm currently using infinality-bundle fonts. However, the probem existed with the default fonts as well.
Thanks

Well, turns out that installing those individual fonts resolves the problem. Its a bit tedious installing individual fonts(there are around 40 options to choose from), but it does solve the spacing problem.

Many websites are not displayed properly, overlapping words etc., can I adjust the browser settings?

Lots of sites do not appear properly, ie words and characters overlap, pop ups not complete.

Reset the page zoom on websites that look wrong: "View > Zoom > Reset" (Ctrl + 0 (zero))
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is none) as a too high value can cause issues like you described.<br />

How to Have Overlapping Applications

What's I've noticed, is that if I have an application in full screen mode, eg. Safari, if I switch to another app (that's not in full screen), I'll be moved to the desktop before the app window opens.
What I'm wondering, is if there's a way so that the app opens without switching me to the desktop? Can I set it so that it overlaps into Safari? (So I can view content in Safari, and this second app, simultaneously)

bossladyleo,
You may:
1) Create all the Type in position, with the overlaps;
2) Type>Create Outlines, at least for the parts that are to overlap other parts (in some cases you may keep everything live Type, but not in the case shown because of the letter shapes and the mutual overlapping (such as Jumps/Over);
3) Select each set of letters to overlap others and Object>Compound Path>Make;
4) Object>Path>Offset Path by the desired gap round the letter shapes;
5) Select the Compound Path that is offset and change its colour to white, now you should have at least a partial covering of the letters below;
6) Object>Compound Path>Release, then Direct Select and delete the counter paths (those forming the counters/holes in the letters), now you should have at a further covering of the letters below;
7) To get rid of any remaining bit and pieces, you may change the shape of the offset paths by cutting, deleting unnecesary parts (such as parts between serifs), and moving individual Anchor Points (outwards).
If you wish to have the result on a coloured background, you may:
8) Select the Group of cover up letters and the underlying letters and in the Transparency palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert mask ticked.

Why can't i download a version of safari that's compatible with my Mac OS X 10.7.3 computer?

well?

The following has been used successfully by several people with various Mac OSs when other remedies have failed. Use the following if Safari fails to function correctly in only one account. This will delete all Safari items in the problem account. All Safari preferences will have to be reset:
1 - Log into the problem account
2 - Export Safari bookmarks
3 - Quit Safari
4 - Open Terminal - in Utilities
6 - Paste the following into Terminal and make sure it is complete especially first and last characters
mv ~/Library/Safari ~/Desktop/Safari-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`; \

Some observations concerning Safari hanging

Many postings in this discussion group report that Safari hangs frequently. When that happens, you see the spinning polychrome ball, and you're more or less obliged to force quit Safari and start all over again. I experience that frequently. Many people have given up on Safari, and migrated to Firefox.
Following, is a specific report of ONE particular way that Safari hangs, in my experience. I'm providing this report in case it will help someone find out how to prevent Safari hanging.
When I copy URLs from IE6 in Virtual PC and then paste them into the address bar in Safari on the Mac side, the URL in the address bar looks good until I hit the "return" key. At that time, the three characters "%00" appear, appended at the end of the URL. More often than not, Safari cannot then find the desired web site. Occasionally Safari does find the web site.
Alternatively, after I hit the "return" key and see the URL with the three additional characters appended, sometimes Safari hangs" - i.e. Safari effectively freezes (apart from the spinning polychrome ball). The only remedy then is to force quit Safari.
I wonder if this is related to all the multitude of postings in this discussion group about Safari hanging!! If so, it might yield an important clue as to the reason for the hanging of Safari.
By the way, when I email URLs from Virtual PC to myself on the Mac side - that works fine. After receiving the URLs in the Mac, I can either click on them in the email message or copy them and paste them into the address bar of Safari, and Safari then performs beautifully.
Can anyone use this information to get the hanging bug out of Safari?

Hi Mike...for your question #3, I found a couple discussion threads about this issue which appears to be 'possibly' either a software glitch or Apple's way of discouraging people from listening to free music and forced to purchase music.
Anyhow here are the two discussion threads:
