Default font change after upgrade

I'm NOT very technical....Downloaded most recent upgrade (10.6.8 I think)..Font/text and size changed for everything. How do I restore pls.

Hi, Bob -
Does this also apply to various websites I access?
No - the items I mentioned apply only to Finder views, meaning to items on the Desktop and open folders.
The chosen font and size of font in a browser is controlled from within the browser (as is true for most every program). If you are using Safari, open its Preferences (in the Safari menu in the main menubar), click Appearance in the header. In the new screen you can change the defaults. Howevrer, it is not unusual for a webpage itself to override those settings.
Other programs often (but not always) have similar adjustments available.
Things you can do if webpages and other things remain too small -
• In most browsers, pressing Command + (Command and the + key, which on the short keyboards is the = key (meaning do not add Shift)) will increase the size of the text displayed on the page. This is a step up function, so subsequent presses will increase it further. To reduce the text size, press Command -
• You can use Screen Zoom, which is always available by default (it can be turned off in the Mouse pane in System Preferences). To use Screen Zoom you need to have a Magic Mouse; if you do, hold down the Control key and use the finger-gesture for scroll up (stroke away from you). This will enlarge the entire screen display, centered more or less on the location of the cursor. To bring it back, hold down the Control key and use the scroll-down finger-gesture (stroke toward you).
• You can also activate the Zoom feature in the Universal Access pane in Stsrem Preferences; in that pane click the Seeing item near the top to switch to that page.
• Check the resolution setting for the display in System Preferences > Displays - it may have got changed from what it should be. What the default is depends on your model, mainly the screen size.

I lost my gtk fonts antialiasing after upgrade

Again, i have problems after a global upgrade.
I lost my gtk fonts antialiasing after upgrade. I lost the fonts quality of the programs that use gtk-engine like (firefox, thunderbird, etc). Here is the pacman log:

why the maintainers dont test the pkgs (especialy the gtk app) before the refresh of the source mirrors? this is terrible boring...

JGC wrote:Update from an up-to-date mirror? The current version of kde-common is 3.5.4-2. As a workaround, you could go to the KDE font preferences, disable AA, apply and enable AA after that, it should work with non-KDE apps then too again.
i change the fonts style on the kcontrol to defaults and after that i set on the gtk-engine to (use my kde fonts in gtk app) and i restart the applications...now seems to be ok... thx

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

Default Font in Safari Won't Change After Upgrade to Leopard

Hey - I just upgraded my iMac from Tiger to Leopard and everything went great; however, when I use Safari, my default font is something random. I tried changing it to anything different but it stays the same (in Safari>Pref's>Appearance). I even tried re-installing it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

We're left with two things, both of which may be somewhat time-consuming.
The first is to use the new user account you created and migrate all your programs and settings that work over to it, and then delete the old user account, or:
Do an Archive & Install, with Preserve Users and Network Settings. This will give you a completely new installation of 10.5 and move the old one to a folder named Previous System, which you can then delete. All your users and network settings will be preserved, but you will need to use Software Update afterward to bring your system current.

Font rendering change after upgrade

After upgrading freetype from current to the latest version I noticed that my fonts changed. The rendering was thicker, as in most other linux distributions. Not that it was bad, but I prefer the thin ones Arch had up to now.To solve it I just downgraded freetype to the previous version and everything is fine, but I wonder if the change is due to the way both versions are configured/compiled or is it an internal change in freetype?
I ask because I'd like to keep this thinner fonts, so I want to know if I should just stop upgrading freetype forever or could I recompile the latest version to get this kind of fonts?

slackhack wrote:btw, do you have TFT or CRT? i have a TFT and have tried autohinting both on and off, but it looks like total crap with it off.
I have a CRT, since TFT screens hurt my eyes with their crispness. I prefer the smooth CRT image. I use the defult hinting (medium), though I've found that if I turn it to full hinting I get the thinner fonts too with this latest freetype, so now I can choose without the need to downgrade.
that must be the reason, because i have a TFT and just upgraded to the latest freetype2/fontconfig, and the fonts look worse than ever. changing hintfull to hintmedium in ~/.fonts.conf has no effect whatsoever. i moved the /etc/fonts/conf.d directory, no effect, removed local.conf, no effect. nothing seems to fix them, it's really annoying. and worst of all, the old freetype2 isn't installing because it requires an older fontconfig, and when i try to install an older fontconfig, i get some libexpat library error and everything crashes when i try to launch it.
>>update: i just checked in gnome, and the fonts look really good there. XFCE4 must use some different method of hinting the fonts than gnome, which i thought uses the freetype2 autohinter. i changed hinting to medium in the xfce4 UI settings, and that improved things a little, even though i have hintmedium set in ~/.fonts.conf. maybe xfce4 uses the BCI hinter and bypasses the freetype hinter?

Firefox/Thunderbird Font Rendering changed after upgrade of xulrunner

Hi guys,
I experienced a problem with font rendering in the mentioned applications after upgrading xulrunner from 1.9.2.10-1 to 1.9.2.10-2 today. It seems like font smoothing/subpixel rendering does not work as before. After downgrading to 1.9.2.10-1, it worked as expected again.
To make it more clearly, here is a comparison shot of the two different renderings. The top one is before, the bottom one after the upgrade. You can see that the font at the top is rendered more smoothly.
And here is a difference image:
Is anything known about changes which could cause this?
<edit>I have to correct this. The rendering in thunderbird was obviously not changed by the xulrunner upgrade, but by a separate thunderbird upgrade from 3.1.4-1 to 3.1.4-2.
<edit2>Additional information: I have the cleartype versions of freetype2, cairo and libxft installed, if that matters.

Although I am empathetic to the hard (and really great) job the arch devs do, I want to voice my overall agreement with softtower on this issue. Fonts have been an off and on problem for me with arch since the beginning. I understand the devs are doing the best they can, especially when the actual problem is with the moz. devs. But fonts are the major way most users interact with the system, and I can tell you that almost nothing is more aggravating, to me at least, to suddenly "upgrade" and get presented with those really crappy fonts out of the blue. Just saying I understand the frustration, and I think he makes some good points about shipping broken packages and "blaming" it on upstream. If they're broken - don't use them! if possible. "Progress" that breaks stuff isn't really progress, imo.

Don't quite get what the fuzz is all about, my fonts look as crisp as ever (on a laptop lcd), the update changed absolutely nothing for me. I never used "fixed" versions of anything, can't really remember how I set up the fonts when I did this installation though (font config advice on the wiki I guess).
It is not the repo's maintainers job to keep packages synced up with any "fixed" packages in AUR, that is your own responsibility, and bitching about it won't help you any.
Just pointing out that comments like these aren't really helpful, imho. So you didn't have the problem - that's good to know, but the "fuzz" is about the fact that some of us *DO* have the problem.
It typically doesn't show up on laptops, btw, only standalone LCDs for some reason (has always been the case for me, at least, with both LCDs and laptops, where the laptop never had the problem). So again, the fuss is that a major usability function got broken from an upgrade that shouldn't get broken, and imo it raises some good, if admittedly difficult to resolve, points, philosophical points, etc. about the packaging and upgrade process,

Pages Fonts Broken After Upgrade (10.5.7)

Not sure what happened, but the spacing of the default font hints at a broken font.
And when Opening up documents sent to me (.doc, .docx etc.) font style and spacing is broken and not like before the upgrade.
See this .doc file opened in Pages: http://bit.ly/UI1Seb
This was sent to me by a third party.
Here's a document I created a few weeks ago in Pages prior to the upgrade: http://bit.ly/PdO7Qp
Here's what it looks like when I open in Pages after the upgrade: http://bit.ly/Qt9PTb
This is weird, but i have a feeling it's beyond Pages, but I don't have issue in email, and other apps I'm working with at this point. It's only revealing itself in Pages and Numbers in iWork?
Any thoughts on why or what's causing this?

Well in the image i share here, it's Myriad Pro; others are helvetica. I had some errors with some fonts and delted them in Font Book, but not helvetica nor Myriad.
Looking deeper said Myriad had duplicates. Couldn't find them myself. When I resolved automatically it simply turned the fonts off, nothing changed in the document which I'm sharing here.
Thing is, this just started happening since the upgrade. So while digging into fonts is certainly prudent and perhaps the point 7 upgrade might have addresed fonts, I'm not so sure or willing to accept that notion.
Seems deeper and boy this is annoying. I so used to love pages and now all my docuemtns I open are corrupted. Waste.
ps. the scribbles on the image are not the result of Pages nor the font issue, just obscuring the doucemtn for those inclined to decode.

Report Layout Changed After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

Dear Gurus,
I do functional test of every process in ECC6 after upgrade from 4.6C. I found all report layout changed without variant (it's happen to all Query/SQ01 reports ). So I've to assign manually the fields for the reports, and create a default variant then.
Why it happen ? Is there configuration or setting missed or this is standard while we do upgrade ?
Thx in advance.

Font problems after upgrading the OS today

I upgraded this morning to 10.6.3. After upgrading:
In Keynote and in Pages several fonts (10 or more) like Cochin, Optima, etc. are not useable any more. If I open a document all characters of a text written in these fonts have changed and compressed in one place in the textboxes. Keyboard layout of the keys is also destroyed. If I change the font to one which is ok , the text is ok too. Disabling the font or changing the fonts in question is the only way to go now.
The preview of the first page of a document in finder for those fonts is still correct. Also the display of the font in the font-program is correct. If I cut and paste text to a different program, the text will be display correctly for the fonts in question.
This seemed an internal problem of iWorks. Help wanted.
regards
esser

Welcome to the discussions, f.esser.
There are two things I'd try, first, to see how large the problem is, create a new user on your computer and see if there's a problem with those same fonts under that user. If not, that indicates that something under your main user has been installed that affects that usage. If you still see problems under the second user, then it's a deeper OS problem.
Second, reinstall iWork from the disk. If it's a minor problem with iWork and the new OS, performing that, then updating to the latest iWork should fix it.

Font change after Leopard OSX installation???

I recently installed Leopard OSX and after I went online for the 1st time after installation, I noticed that on many sites (yahoo, yahoo mail, bing, youtube, etc.) the default(?) font changed from what I believe was Arial, to what looks like (believe it or not) a Brady Bunch style font for certain sections displayed on the page.
I went to the Font Book and Arial is there and isn't disabled, so I'm not sure how to get rid of the new default, and get the original one back. Any clues???
Thanks! ben

Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why am I getting fonts issues after upgrading to Mavericks?

After upgrading to Mavericks, many webpages display fonts as dingbats like characters (see attached screenshot).
Copy/pasting the URL into a new tab seems to fix the problem sometimes, but not always.
The issues seems to happen more in chrome, but also in safari.
I've checked issues in fontbook and emptied the font cache, but nothing seems to work.

Hi!
An screenshot would be helpful. In any case, you are already asking a question, so if you please. Answer here and we can try to help you.
