Default web font replaced by script font

Hello everyone,
For some strange reason one of the default web fonts is being replaced by a script font only in some pages (see attached image). I've tried to identify the font to disable it but haven't had any luck with it. I use FontExplorer Pro to manage all my fonts and I already tried disabling all fonts not belonging to the operating system but the issue still persists. Does anybody know what the name of this font is or how to solve the problem? I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Bee! But I just figured out that this problem is caused by disabling Georgia.
There are several fonts that most likely I will never use (e.g. fonts for other languages, symbols), so I went ahead and disabled them in FontBook when I got my computer. It just occurred to me, after starting this thread, to go back to FontBook to enable all fonts and go in batches to try to pinpoint the font causing the problem. And so I found it! I figured that since I'm using FontExplorer Pro now I can manage them directly from it and not thru FontBook anymore.
It was a painful task but it was worth doing it, knowing that many people can learn from my mistake.
Thanks for the hand once again!

  • Really ugly default web fonts

    My web fonts in Chromium look awful. The default font that shows in form posts, newspaper articles, etc. is extremely low res. I feel like there should be a font sub setting that I'm missing or something got broken. Web text italics especially are nasty.
    Fonts outside of normal web browsing look fine. System fonts, things in word processing documents, all of that looks great. I have some clear type and screen dithering and whatnot or whatever it's all called enabled, so it's not that. It's the actual font choice for default web text that's ugly. What can I do to see what's being used and how can I change it?

    Look at those italics! Nasty!

    I had those fonts installed from day 1 on this system more than a year ago. When the fontconfig update came around it made a lot of fonts not display properly.
    Simply installing fontconfig-infinality definitely fixed my web fonts, and restored some things to how they were before. Now I need to figure out how to adjust cleartype kinds of settings so I can make them look like how I want.
    But this is definitely better. I can see things on the internet again.

  • Dreamweaver Help | Add Edge and Web fonts to the Font list | Creative Cloud

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/typekit-font-support.html

    Hi Oyvay,
    Assuming you are talking about the standard Font-Stacks (Font-Family options shipped with Dreamweaver by default), they are available under the "Custom Font Stacks" tab available under "Manage Fonts" dialog.  You can access this dialog by selecting "Manage Fonts..." option listed in the Font-Family drop-down combos in any of the following dialogs:
    1)  Properties Panel,
    2)  CSS Styles Panel,
    3)  Page Properties dialog,
    4)  New / Edit CSS rule definition dialog.
    Alternatively, you can use the "Modify -->  Manage Fonts..." menu option from Dreamweaver's main menu also.
    The older font-stacks that were available default have been replaced with a latest and updated set of fonts.  The older options - Arial, Verdana, ... are outdated.  Your existing pages created with earlier versions would still function the same but the pages created from now on can use the updated fonts set.
    You can go through the below article for further information on the Adobe Edge Web Fonts integration with Dreamweaver.  And in case you have any more queries, please do post back.  Thanks..

  • Web fonts in news module

    How can I choose to work with other web fonts than suggested within a news module?

    Yes add your web font to the header of your index_SCORM.html
    e.g. <script src="//use.edgefonts.net/actor.js"></script>
    Then in assets/js/CPM.js you have to amend the font tags (CSS font face definitions) to refer to your web font. Now the file is not very human friendly but you can do it if you are careful with a search and replace or use a script.

  • How do you use edge web font in Edge Reflow?

    By default, I don't have a lot of fonts. It's just viewing a few of them.
    How can you get the web font for Edge Reflow? Can you use font from fontbook?
    Is there a way to download Edge Web Font?

    Above: using Brandon Grotesque (web use font) does not display the correct font.
    I'm using Typekit and have an internet connection. If I switch to a "desktop use" font, it shows up, so I'm guessing the "web use" only fonts won't show in Reflow. A little frustrating when you're trying to get an accurate preview/determine best font styling because of the back-and-forth workflow.
    Above: using Source Sans Pro (desktop use font) does display the correct font.

  • How to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly

    I am a Dreamweaver newbie and am trying to learn how to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3 trying to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly in my web site. As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the font style effect does not show up on my site. I am working on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I have copied and pasted the javascript into the correct spot in the head of the index.html page as well as included the font-family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code for my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I have tried to view my site in my browser, but no dice. Doesn't display the Edge Web Font style in the web page. I believe I've done everything according to the directions, but I suppose I've missed some small detail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    You need to add a <script> to the head of your documents like the example below.  In my example, I'm using all of the aguafina-script and league-gothic fonts.
    <!--Edge Font-->
    <script src="//use.edgefonts.net/aguafina-script:n4:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
    CSS:
         h1 {
         font-family: league-gothic, sans-serif;
         font-weight:bold;
         color: #639;
         font-size: 250%;
    A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web Fonts and select the font you wish to use.
    https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
    NOTE: You won't see the custom web fonts displayed in Design View, Live View or when previewed locally unless you use a local testing server.  An easier way to test is by uploading the page to your remote server.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problems in IE -internet explorer- with Adobe web fonts embedded in EDGE compositions

    Hi again friends,
    For simplifying the problem: Im trying to create compositions, just some animated texts over video, using adobe web fonts in Edge. In this case using muse to insert them.
    Everything works fine, but after uploading the result compositions, they always work fine in Chrome or Mozilla, but they dont work always fine in Explorer (tested in diferent versions and OSs).
    Frustratingly, sometimes IE display the fonts correctly, some other times changes the font to arial or similar...
    Frustrating example: Two instances of the same composition (only text moving over mp4 video) and sometimes one work fine and the other is changed to arial, some other times both ok, some other both arial.... its crazy.. just refresh, and it changes!!
    If I create a page with only one composition (text over video) it works fine 90-95% of the times in IE. just refreshing... and after some good attempts.. the arial font apperar smiling to me!!!!!
    Any suggestion?
    What can I do?
    Checked with diferent systems using latest versions of Edge and Muse in my job, only in Windows systems.
    Sorry for my english, I hope is well explained...

    Hi,
    I have prepared for you a basic composition where the problem ALWAYS appear:
    The page uses 2 compositions created in edge, inserted in a Muse project via .oam file (note that publishing directly to web structure, the problems occurs too)
    1.- The upper element of the page is one composition with only ANIMATED TEXTS over a simple MP4 VIDEO BACKGROUND. The used font is -Fredoka One-
    This first  composition is inserted in the Muse Master page
    In the Muse index main page are the other 2 elements:
    2.- Above the first composition there is another Edge composition, that contains 4 video backgrounds with a title over each one. The font of each main title is -Fredoka One- too.
    3.-In the bottom there is inserted THE SAME composition than in the upper side of the page.
    Yuo can see it in http://www.comunicracia.es/
    As you can see, everything is OK using Chrome or Mozilla, BUT PLEASE TAKE A LOOK USING INTERNET EXPLORER.
    Using IE I can see every combination of problems with the font, BUT never the 3 elements Fine!!! (The tittles font is replaced by Arial frustratingly without any rule)
    (My experience FYI) In this composition I have prepared for you,  the bottom composition is usually (90%times) OK, the upper composition is usually (95%times) BAD, and the middle composition usually (70%times) BAD.
    If I publish only the first composition in the page, it works fine in IE 95% of the times.
    Pleeease, its frustrating..
    Any suggestion?
    What can I do??
    Thank you very very much in advance, my friends!
    All the best

  • Web fonts not showing up correctly in safari

    Hi,
    It seems that this is getting worse, but I'm finding ALOT of sites where Safari doesn't render web fonts correctly. They work fine in Firefox, but Safari is my default browser.
    Is there a trick to fixing this?
    I can even copy out the text, paste it somewhere else and it looks fine.
    thanks-
    Dave

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Mac 101: Font Book
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

  • A question regarding using Myriad Pro as a web font...

    Okay so this is a pretty straight forward question (I think)...
    I've been using sIFR to replace many of the typical web fonts on the sites I build since much like everyone else I'm sick of being restricted to using only certain fonts.
    Myriad Pro is one of the many fonts I really like for building websites. I discovered recently by accident that Myriad Pro (and a few other variants in the Myriad Pro family) are part of Adobe Reader. This means that ANYONE who downloads Adobe Reader has Myriad Pro installed on their system and probably doesn't even realize it.
    Having discovered this it has come to my attention that there is a decent possibility I could use CSS and have Myriad Pro as a web font without even having to render it using sIFR. The problem is that anyone who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed wouldn't see the nice Myriad font.
    So my question is what do all of you guys think about this? Does anyone have any actual numbers in regards to how many people actually have Adobe Reader? If it was a higher percentage like 90% then I think this would be a safe solution.

    I don't know how many people use Adobe Reader, although I would think it's a fairly high proportion. Perhaps not as high as 90%, though. However, there's nothing stopping you from using Myriad Pro as the first choice in a font-family declaration. Browsers use the first available font. You could use something like this:
    body {
      font-family:"Myriad Pro", "Gill Sans", "Lucida Sans", Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;

  • Some web fonts are not rendered

    When I visit some sites that use web fonts, the web fonts are not rendered. It does not render with the wrong font - the text is completely invisible.
    On other sites, web fonts work just fine, and I cannot understand why some web fonts work and some don't.
    Examples of non-working sites:
    http://blog.mailchimp.com/ (headers shown, article text missing)
    https://www.sbab.se/ (huge top header missing)
    http://onlinepizza.se/ (headers and button texts missing)
    Examples of working sites:
    http://www.google.com/fonts
    http://www.typetester.org/
    On the Network -> Fonts tab in the inspector, no downloads are shown on the broken sites. Is there a font cache that I can delete?
    I have tried uninstalling firefox, deleting all profiles and installing it again. Nothing changes.

    Works fine here on Linux.

  • Can I use Web Fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop?

    I'd like to use a few of the web fonts for a clients project but I need to be able to have the fonts available for me in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Dreamweaver and Muse.
    I am a full Creative Cloud Subscriber and need to have complete integration across all or most products.
    Thank you for help in advance

    The short answer is this is not possible. 
    The long answer is Photoshop & Illustrator use print fonts installed on your system (True Type, Open Type, Post Script).
    Web fonts (ie: Google, TypeKit, Edge, etc...) need a web browser to display them because they use file types that are not recognized by other applications.  
    EOT Compressed
    EOT Lite (uncompressed)

    SVG (xml version)

  • Eastern european edge web font lora

    Hi, I've designed a website using edge web font "Lora" in czech language. It looks good on my Mac, but when viewing on iPhone, iPad or PC (all browsers), there are not international characters like č, ř, š, ě... I know, that this typeface contains all characters. is there any easy way to fix this problem, setting up different codepage for instance? thanks, tom

    You may be using a subset of the font's character set. Make sure you've selected the All characters option.
    <script src="//use.edgefonts.net/lora:n4,i4,n7,i7:all.js"></script>
    In regards to the character set to use in the HTML, it should be utf-8.
    <meta charset="utf-8">

  • Using a web font (Coda), but Muse insists on rasterizing

    I'm using a web font on my site (http://unit304musicvideoproduction.com/), so it should just show the web font. However, Muse insists on rasterizing it. I haven't done anything funky to it, and it even does it when I select Arial as the font, so I don't understand why it's doing this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    When you select the text frame (not the text within), does the font menu show Coda or it is blank? Blank indicates "mixed fonts", which could mean you have a lingering system font somewhere within the text frame. Please repeat this test for all states (default, rollover, mousedown, active). A system font in any state will force other states to be rasterized as well.
    If you've rules out the possibility of system fonts, please send your Muse file to [email protected] Please include a link to this post.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

  • Muse recently updated with Yosemite Update web fonts not working

    I recently updated my OS to Yosemite at work, but not at home. a site that was using font awesome that was working/previewing/exporting/uploaded and functioning fine is now not showing font awesome icons. I didn't upload to the server because even though it previews in Muse fine, they are not shown on export. Even the template files that are the original HTML files (included with the muse template) are not showing the web fonts. I thought it was the operating system but when drop boxed to my computer at home and checked there (Mountain lion OS) It still doesn't show.
    I'm not understanding where the issue is. Any thoughts?
    Work version is 2014.2, unclear about home version- could possibly not be that update, I think I installed in November. I didn't have any problems with this file since updating to Yosemite at work. Although never went through a final HTML export so I suppose it could have been doing it for the last few weeks I have been working on this site.
    Thanks!

    From the screen shot, I expect you're on Windows and have ClearType turned on (on is the default OS setting). The top text is drawn using Adobe's technology. The bottom would be drawn with ClearType. Microsoft's ClearType technology is one of several font anti-aliasing techniques. ClearType's approach is strongly biased toward making vertical stems appear smooth and of consistent width at the expensive of having horizontal portions of text appear less smooth. If you turn off ClearType on your computer the text will be rendered differently.
    Each operating system has it's own approach to drawing text, and in fact both Windows and Mac have multiple approaches. Windows adds numerous end user controls on top of that. And each browser has the freedom to implement different rendering as well. There's nothing under the control of a website authoring tool that can cause live text to have an identical rendering when rendered by different browsers or operating systems.
    This is one of the limitations of the web medium.
    Cross browser compatibility generally refers to the large category of issues where a browser, or browser version, entirely lacks support for various features of HTML/CSS, implements those features differently from other browsers, or has bugs such that various features either don't function correctly or don't function consistently. Muse contains hundreds of pieces of code to compensate for these idiosyncracies between browsers.

  • Web fonts for non-Roman languages

    The Add Web Fonts dialog in Muse makes it easy for me to find fonts for English and other languages that use the Roman writing system. I need to find fonts for Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Thai, and possibly other systems too.
    Is there a way to search for such fonts, and to preview fonts in the language in which they will be used?

    no because they're not avalible, i think. if live text doesn't matter to you you can just use the fonts localy on your computer and muse will generate a picture of the text area using that non roman font. else if you know your way around code you can just replace the fonts in the css. as for writing in arabic, it'll probably have the same problem as writing in hebrew where muse might align right but you can't set a text box to a RTL direction which means that whatever you write in websafe fonts (if they even exsist, i've no idea) will display in LTR direction. which you can go on and change later in css per text box. another thing you might want to remember before writing in arabic selecting some very spesific font is that since the text boxes turn to images you won't be able to change the direction later on because it's no longer live text.
    hope it helps.
