Firefox 6 running under Windows 7 64-bit does not render fonts correctly.

The default sans-serif font for Firefox is Arial. Running Firefox 6 under Windows 7 32-bit, the font renders properly, but under 64-bit Win7, the font is too heavy, and bold or strong makes no difference. I run Win7 64-bit on a laptop computer and use Firefox 5 on it, and the fonts render properly. Possibly a Firefox 6/64-bit problem?

Hi strangerland, don't give up hope -- I'm using Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 7 right now.
That said, I understand troubleshooting fatigue and when you find time to think about Firefox again, and have the opportunity to shut down and restart Windows, you might try testing in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, a mode that blocks some external programs that can interfere with Firefox.

Application Runs Under Windows 8.1 But Not Under Windows XP (I Know XP Is Deprecated)

The problem is with the obtuse error message put out by Windows's program loader. It reads, in part, "..is not a valid Win32 application." The application runs everywhere except on Windows XP. Looking for root cause of the problem. It's a very
simple application. Only a few lines of code.
C:\Packaged-Software\32-BIT\Reboot.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Proposed nature of the problem:
1. The file was downloaded from a website but the download was incomplete.
2. The full file system filename path contains bad characters such blank space.
3. Visual Studio constructed an application that won't run anywhere much less on XP.
4. The supporting libraries are not properly installed (e.g. .NET Framework4, and VCREDIST).
Retorts:
1. The file wasn't downloaded from a website and is intact.
2. The filename path doesn't contain any spaces.
3. The application runs under Windows 8.1. Also on Windows 7.
4. The supporting libraries are properly installed.
So, what's the problem? One surely will not discover the root cause from "not a valid application."
Body must be 4 to 60000 characters long. I had put the code here. It isn't 60000 character long. But it validated as if there are more than 60000 characters. Sorry for the incomplete submission due to website construction error.

Hi F7H2fw,
How did you develop the application ?
Here is a similar symptom and this may explain the issue somehow:
Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsnetsetup/archive/2012/10/16/setup-exe-is-not-a-valid-win32-application.aspx
I suspect there is a compatibility issue here .
Considering this is more likely a developing issue .It is recommended to ask for help from our MSDN Forum .They are more familiar with the developing issue .If it is possible ,please attach the code in that thread .Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

CS4 Design view does not render CSS correctly but browser does !?!?

I am designing a layout using primarily CSS. I want to insert a table inside one of the div's. In design view the table gets pushed way out of position but in live view and on the web, the page looks correct. Why? Am I missing something in design view?
Here is the actual page I am working on Sample Page
Here is what I see in design view Design View
This glitch is making it difficult to add content to the table.
I tried to edit the page with Contribute CS4 and the table gets pushed so far out of position that it is impossible to access it. The page looks fine when I am connected but as soon as I try to edit it does not render properly.

This question comes up almost daily, and I dont recall seeing an answer that is much different. It comes down to that it does not matter what DV shows, it is the browser view that counts. How frustrating it is to spend time and effort to correct a view in DW Design, only to find out it throws your browser view all askew. Its hard enough to make x number of different browsers all look good with however many screen resolutions, to worry about something that in the end does not matter.....
Work more in code view, let F12 be your companion.

Firefox 6 on Windows XP SP3 does not close properly after checking if plugins are up to date.

After doing Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Check if plugins are up to date, Firefox process will not exit after closing Firefox.
I can close the window, but Firefox process does not exit. New window does open if I click Firefox icon to launch it. After reboot Firefox complains that some tabs could not be opened, as if it had crashed because of reboot.

i deleted the rdf and now the first window only (and any tabs in it) are maximised. i found this in the rdf
<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#main-window"
screenX="4"
screenY="4"
width="1008"
height="461"
sizemode="Normal" />
i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?

Download 10g for Windows 2003 server 32 bit does not provide the correct pr

The following Oracle OTN link provides a misleading product. It says that the following link provides the Oracle 9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32bit) and
what it contains is the OUI for applying the 9.2.0.3 patchset and the patchset itself. It does not contains the product.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?http://otn.oracle.c
om/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/win2k3soft.html

>
As far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be an Oracle10g download for
10.2.0.4 for Windows 2003 Server. It looks like you have to download 10.2.0.1
for Windows then apply the patch to bring it up to 10.2.0.4.
Am I seeing this correctly or am I missing something?
>
Indeed you are; your eyes are definitely not lying to you. 10.2.0.4 is a patchset which can only be applied to an already existing Oracle Home.
You might want to try and understand a little bit more about what the 10.2.0.4 means by accessing the links below.

RH9 + IE10 does not display fonts correctly

Hi,
When I view the published documentation in IE10 & Firefox 16.0.1
Bolded font displays "exaggerated" (thick and wide) and not as intended. This style was applied using the B button on the RH toolbar. Resulting code is <span style="font-weight:bold;"></span>
Font which is bolded as a result of an assigned style, displays correctly.
Font family in CSS is Arial.
This does not happen when viewing the same documentation in IE using Compability View (to view as if IE9). In fact, this issue only occurred in IE since moving to IE10. Not sure about previous versions of Firefox.
I have applied the patch provided by William to RH9 for viewing on IE10.
I have also verified that font options are unchecked in IE's Internet Options > Accessibility window.
At the moment, I can't confirm this occurs when viewing on another machine.
Any suggestions?
RH 9.0.2.271, Webhelp

Hi,
Very weird. Do these extra bold texts by change have both the inline styling as well as a css attached? I think I’ve seen a similar issue that revolved around bold text within bold text.
Another solution may be to find and replace you bold styles with CSS classes.

Willam

InDesign CS5.5 does not display fonts correctly

InDesign CS5.5 does not display Futura fonts correctly. I have removed all versions of Futura from FontBook on my Mac (running Mac OSX 10.7.4) but CS5.5 - Indesign, Illustrator & photoshop - still displays Futura as being open but only InDesign does not display the font correctly. The font displays correctly when I open InDesign CS4 and all other versions of Illustrator and Photoshop. I really need to use this font. What's going on with InDesign?

In your first screen shot , there are 2 futura font ,one is Adobe Type 1 font and the second one is True Type, you might have installed both the type of the font on your computer sometime. Now you have removed all the futura font and it is still showing in the Indesign , also the same thing happened with the Minion Pro , seems to me the font cache is not updating.
First remove the Adobe Font cache's file:-
         At the Finder, choose File > Find.
         Type AdobeFnt.lst, select the system drive, and then press Return.
         Delete all AdobeFnt.lst files found (for example, AdobeFnt10.lst).
then clear system font cache :-
Launch Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities)
Enter the following command at the prompt and press Return: sudo atsutil databases -remove
Restart your computer immediately
and check

Safari 5.0.3 - will not render fonts correctly

Visiting the site/hosting company I help with (www.orgsites.com), the center page content font face/size changes when the mouse is moved over this content area. Whereas the left & right sides do not change.
We are attempting to update the DOCTYPE to HTML 4.01 standards and enclosing HTML element attributes within quotes correctly.
ISSUE: the font face/size changes.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: the font face/size should REMAIN unchanged.
NOTE this is only an issue with Safari v5.0.3 and Opera v10.63. Works 100% with IE v8.x, FF 3.6.12 and AOL v9.5.
Does anyone know if this is a browser issue with Safari? If the DOCTYPE is NOT coded for the page, the font face/size does not change when the mouse is moved over the content section.
-Thanks!

Hi Bruce,
Do you mean you can't install it?
Or that Software Update fails some way?
Do you have any error messages to help us?
There are ways to send feedback to Apple on Safari, but it's like a one way street, you're more likely to get the problem solved faster by some helper here.
Talking or taking it to an Apple Genius is another option.

Can Firefox run under Windows 8RT (32 bits). I am unable to install the program

I downloaded the installing file for Firefox on a Surface with a Windows 8RT (32 bits) operating system and when I try to run it I get a message saying that the program can not be run in this system or something like that.
Can any body tell me if there us a version for Windows 8?

It is for Windows 8 and 8.1 but not for RT using ARM cpu's.

ITunes 10.1.1 for Windows (64-bit) Does Not Run After Installation

I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 and downloaded the 64-bit installer (iTunes64Setup). Although I recieve the notice that it was installed, when I start it up, I receive the "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read..." error message whenever I try to start it.
I have uninstalled the program, deleted the original setup file (iTunes64Setup), downloaded it again and re-installed it twice with no success.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Finally got it installed and running.

Does In Home Agent run under Windows 7. If not, what Windows OS does IHA run under?

IHA doesn't launch properly but oneof its processes seem to be running. IHAstarter.exe doesn't launch IHA but some IHA process says it's already running. I've brought down my firewall, re-installed it from the website but nothing helps. Is it an OS compatability issue?

You may have a problem with iTunes trying to route sharing traffic using IP6 instead of IP4. Try these steps in Windows:
Select Start, then type “Networking and Sharing” to search for the “Network and Sharing Center“.
Choose your active network listed for “Connections“. It’s usually named “Wireless Network Connection 1″, “Wi-Fi 1″ or something similar.
Click the “Properties” button.
If Internet “Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” is checked, uncheck it, then click “OK“.
Click “Close“.
Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

Firefox Three Beta Five (3.0b5) Does Not Render iWeb '08 Galleries

The newest beta version of the Firefox 3 browser (3.0b5) has just become available. If you were waiting for it to see if it renders picture galleries created with iWeb '08, forget it... it doesn't do the job any better than Beta Four (3.0b4) did. It's beginning to look as if only Safari will be able to display our iWeb sites. It doesn't help to say, "But people can download Safari!" because they simply won't!
Much love, as always,
Jim (XXX)

Tom Gewecke was kind enough to state...
"People who care about this should tell Firefox to fix it:
http://hendrix.mozilla.org/
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bugwritingguidelines "
I checked, and that second link shows that this was already known in connection with Firefox Beta Four (3.0b4), and was listed as "Bug 422084".
Nothing much seems to be happening to fix this problem, though. Perhaps some of the good folks out there who are more knowledgeable than I would know whom to whine to about all this. (If I had Mr. Jobs phone number I'd give him a call, but I don't!)
Much love, as always,

Safari 7.1 does not display fonts correctly in youtube

Since I upgraded to Safari 7.1 any YouTube videos do not display text or the time correctly. All of it looks like small boxes with a capital A in them. I found something on the forums the other day and I upgraded my Flash and I used Fusion Suitecase to clear font caches. That works for one session in Safari and I thought I had it fixed. The next session the same thing happened, so I cleared my font cache again, but it did not work. What am I to do. This is dumb! You get an upgrade and you have to run around trying to fix what it messed up. Never had this problem. BTW, Firefox displays everything correctly, but I don't like Firefox. Any help is appreciated.

Hi ..
Might be a third party font manager > Re: All I see is the letter "a"
If that's not the issue, check for duplicate fonts...
Open Font Book located in your Applications folder.
From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates
If that doesn't help, it might be a third party font causing the capital A issue.
From the Font Book menu bar click File > Restore Standard Fonts
