Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly and special characters not display correctly
Example: triangle symbol display "D" , but other browser is displaying fine.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Ajay Kumar

This page uses the Symbol font to display the triangles.
<pre><nowiki>font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black</nowiki></pre>
It works for me on Linux, but probably not on Windows.<br />
Websites shouldn't be using this Symbol font, but use the Unicode replacements instead: Δ (&#916; &Delta;).

Math symbols not displaying in browser

I'm attempting to study for CLEP exams on Instacert's website and have encountered a problem with the math symbols not displaying correctly. I did the recommendations by the webmaster and tried Google Chrome, then Safari instead of Mozilla's Firefox, and I have downloaded the webmaster's suggested window's font (symbol.ttf), to no avail. He's not familiar with Apple at all, so he's no further help.
I have attached a screenshot of one of the pages not displaying the symbols correctly. As you can see, the math union and intersection symbols look foreign and some of the other math symbols are not correct in other web pages:

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

Yen Symbol Not Displayed Correctly in Text

Hi all,
I am trying to create a text file in the application server using the command "OPEN DATASET IN TEXT MODE", which I am able to do so far. The data to be transferred to the text file contains the Yen Symbol: ¥ or ALT+0165. The symbol is being displayed correctly in SAP, but when I open the text file created my notepad is only displaying a small box or dot:
･45,000;
but when I try to manually type the yen symbol on the notepad I am able to do it correctly! For additional this is the code snippet in question:
LOOP AT i_tag INTO wa_tag.
    ls_tag = wa_tag.
    AT NEW grouping.
      CLEAR v_path.
*--- define and open file path for file group
      CONCATENATE ls_tag-pathextern ls_tag-file INTO v_path.
      OPEN DATASET v_path FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        CLOSE DATASET v_path.
        CLEAR v_path.
      ENDIF.
    ENDAT.
    CHECK NOT v_path IS INITIAL.
    PERFORM:
      prepare_file_data,
      prepare_file_line CHANGING v_line.
    IF NOT v_line IS INITIAL AND wa_tag-tag_menge > 0.
      DO wa_tag-tag_menge TIMES.
        TRANSFER v_line TO v_path.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
    AT END OF grouping.
      CLOSE DATASET v_path.
      CLEAR i_filenames.
      i_filenames-file = ls_tag-file.
      APPEND i_filenames.
    ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
is there any additional preparation i need to transfer the yen symbol properly? By the way the system is 4.6c.
Thanks in advance!

Before writing to the file change ¥ into in order to translate properly to in the text file.

Firefox OS is not displaying correctly. it appears that the CSS and JS are not rendering! Any help would be most appreciated!

I would have preferred to show anyone a screenshot of the web pages, but there is not an attach file on this forum. Anyway, with only Firefox OS , not my other browsers, the web pages are not rendering correctly. For example on Facebook there is no header or footer. JS is active in the browser and as I said Chrome and Safari are NOT having any problems. I am surmising that the CSS and JS files are somehow not being displayed. I may be very wrong, but I would gratefully accept any help someone has to offer. Thank you and have a great day!
Theresa

Symbols not displayed correctly in output

Hi,
I've discovered that the symbol for a micron has been used
throughout a large help project that I've inherited (Symbol font
Alt+0109). The problem is that it looks fine within Robohelp, but
once compiled, it is displayed as an "m". ARGHH!
I can't search for it, as the Search and replace tool also
sees it as an "m".
Is there any way I can either get it to display properly in
the output?
Or is there an easy way to search for it so that I can remove
it, as painstakingly going through each file is going to take for
ever?
Thanks for any ideas.
Regards,
cornish_fi

Hi all
If you want to discover the codes that can be used for
certain characters, try this.
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type
Charmap into the Run Dialog.
4. Click OK and the Windows Character Map applet runs.
5. Select the Font to be used.
6. Locate the character and click the Select button. This
should reveal the keystroke to be used to produce the character.
You simply look in the lower right corner of the dialog to see it.
Here is the bonus. Click the Copy button and the character is
copied to your Windows clipboard. You may now paste it where you
need it.
Cheers... Rick

I'm use two screens, Firefox 4 is not displaying correctlying on my second screen. How do I fix this? (I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and using an external video card)

It only happens on the screen I'm using the external video card. I'm assuming its a bug.

I think this is related to other posts, the solution at the moment seems to be to disable hard acceleration.

Certain special characters do not display correctly in Firefox ( font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3" ¬ /font ). Is there a fix?

Certain special characters which display correctly in Explorer do not display correctly in Firefox. Example: <font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3">¬</font>
Is there a fix?

The symbol font usually doesn't work in Firefox, a website needs to use an Unicode replacement or an HTML entity to specify such a character.

FrameMaker 11 not displaying some math symbols-how to correct or work around?

Hello,
I created a few equations for a manual, and everything displayed correctly. After I was upgraded to a new computer (same OS - Win 7), all the minus signs in the equations I made aren't displaying—all I get are (?)s.
I've tried creating a new equation, but the minus symbol still isn't displaying. Strange to me that it's only the minus symbol not displaying; all other operators display correctly.
I'm wondering if this is a symbol font issue, or a unicode issue, but after searching the forums all morning (and all afternoon yesterday) I haven't found any information on correcting the issue or working around it.
*Update*
I had a coworker open the file in question, and the minus symbols all displayed correctly. He is running Frame 11 on XP.
-Ben

The font used for the math symbols is specified in the maker.ini with the MathFamily=Symbol entry in the [Fonts] section.
I've tried playing around with changing this in FM11 and FM12, but I always get the minus sign to appear in both versions. [There is a minor bug in FM12 no longer supporting the backslash sequences, so I was checking if other things were pooched.]
The math characters, on the other hand, are defined in the fminit\mathchar.cfg file, e.g.
< alpha      61 Symbol Regular>
< beta      62 Symbol Regular>
< plus      2b Times Regular>
< equal      3d Times Regular>
< minus      d0 Times Regular>
etc.
Notice that there is a mix of Font Families specified in the cfg file. It could be that if Times is missing and FM doesn't properly substitute proprly, one may get the unknown character.
Try changing the font definitions in the mathchar.cfg file (and make a back-up so that it can be restored if this gets messed up).

Symbol font is not displaying correctly on mozilla 23.0.1?

I am displaying a html page inside a frame having some Maths symbols, using SYMBOL font. but these symbols are not display correct on mozilla browser. provide some solution.

Hi sangeeta, the problem with writing code to solve this problem is that you likely need to create a table or a pair of arrays to contain the corresponding characters. As long as you are going to do that, it might be easier to edit the pages. Or add an external script to those pages to "fix" the references.
If you are saying that the HTML pages are out of your control, that's harder...
Is it an option to load the page dynamically onto your server so it can be processed by ASP.Net and then served using a URL from your server?
If not, are your page and the framed page on the same server? In that case, perhaps a JavaScript function that "fixes" the page could be useful.
If not, it's hard to see how you can overcome the "same origin" security constraints and get to the framed page.

CSS : Website not displaying correctly in IE 7 , ok in Firefox and IE8

Hello all,
I am a newbie designing my new site with CS4. This is my first post to forum, although I have read many helpful hints while proceeding.
I will be grateful for resolving a quirky issue.
My website http://www.chezshuchi.com is not displaying correctly in IE7. IT is displaying correctly in most other browsers. The HTML validation is fine. I think there is some issue with CSS, but I am not able to find it despite spending much time. Will appreciate input.
Two images are attached. The first is the screenshot in IE 7 . The second in Firefox (IE 8 is same).

Change the embedded CSS at the head of the page in Code View as follows:

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

New user of Firefox. Webpage I made not displaying correctly in Firefox but OK in Win IE. Why is this?

Im new to Firefox. Just found out the website Im maintaining does not display correctly with Firefox but OK with Win IE. Why is this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I'm going to make a prediction here:
The webpage will contain a lot of code written specifically to the non-standards compliant way IE works, and will also "not display correctly" in the following standards compliant browsers:
Chrome
Safari
Opera
and the solution will be to code the pages according to the standards meant to be followed so it displays correctly in all non-IE browsers, '''then''' see how it displays in IE.

Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
PS The site is a work in progress

That happens because the server sends a content-type (<b>text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1</b>) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark (ï»¿) that you see in this case.

I have created a powerpoint web app in sharepoint 2013 ,i used a ppt in this web app.My ppt image is not displaying correctly in MAC mozilla firefox

I am facing this problem in MAC OS Mozilla Firefox.It is displaying correctly in other browsers like google chrome and internet explorer in MAC OS,but it is not displaying correctly in Mozilla firefox.
I already checked the possible reasons like:
1. Restarted my computer
2. Clear cookies and cache
3. Restarted Firefox in Safe Mode
4. Troubleshoot all plugins
5. Reinstalled Firefox
6. Reset Firefox.
anyone know how to fix this issue.I am waiting for your valuable answers.

Looking at [http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/82591/in-powerpoint-web-app-2013-ppt-is-not-displayed-correctly-in-mac-os-mozilla-fire your screen shot] it reminds me of a problem with Flash on the Retina display not using the full area if hardware acceleration of graphics is disabled. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968863 I'm only getting one quarter of a screen on Flash Player on Firefox] (unsolved).
Not sure if that's relevant but does the display of the slide change if you make sure that hardware acceleration is enabled? The checkbox is here:
Firefox menu > Prefences > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Note that any changes take effect after you exit and restart Firefox.
To see whether Firefox actually is using hardware acceleration, you can check the troubleshooting information. Either:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
Toward the end, in the Graphics section, look for this row:
GPU Accelerated Windows
The number will show a ratio of accelerated to non-accelerated window. If hardware acceleration is disabled, the first number will always be zero.
By the way, is the SharePoint PPT viewer using Flash, or Silverlight, or another plugin? Typically Firefox will display an icon that looks a bit like a "Lego" block in the address bar showing what plugins are in use in the page.
