Firefox not rendering italic text

I can't pinpoint specifically when this began, but this is an issue I've only seen after doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. Firefox isn't rendering text that appears between <i> and <cite> tags (there may be others that would render as italicized text by default, but I haven't checked), but is correctly rendering text between <em> tags. The text is literally just gone but is taking up space in the layout.
Chrome on the same machine isn't having the same problem

It seem that in the latest versions of (k)ubuntu only ttf-dejavu-core is installed by default. If you install ttf-dejavu-extra [ sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu-extra ] that fixes the problem for me

  • Safari not rendering Arabic text correctly

    I have Safari 1.0.3 running on Mac OS 10.2.8 and it will not render Arabic text correctly. Isolated letters appear at about half the correct size, which makes pages readable but only with considerable difficulty and annoyance.
    I saw some solutions here that related to removing Microsoft fonts, but I removed all fonts from Home:Library:Fonts and quite and restarted Safari, and the problem persists. I also downloaded Firefox 2.0 and the same issue occurs - with the added feature that the tab titles on Firefox also display this anomaly, whereas tab titles on Safari render Arabic correctly.
    And by the way, if this issue can be resolved, can safari and other apps be got to use a font other than the extremely ugly and hard-to-read default?

    Thanks Tom. The problem though is not that letters
    that are meant to be connected are coming out
    isolated; letters that are meant to be isolated, e.g.
    initial alif, waw, ra and final letters after alif,
    waw ra, are displaying way too small.
    Sorry I misunderstood the problem.
    Do you think it is worth trying your troubleshooting
    tip no. 18? And do you have any idea what sort of
    issue could be behind it that it would affect Firefox
    too?
    Yes, you may as well try no. 18. That tip, which really has no logic to it, reflects the fact that voodoo is sometimes required to get Jaguar to display Arabic correctly in browsers. Panther was a tremendous improvement in that regard.

  • Firefox not rendering webfont in 25.0.1 on some pc

    I am using a webfont hosted on my website's server and it shows up perfectly in all other browsers, and in most versions of Firefox 25.0.1 on Mac and PC, except some versions of PC's are not rendering it.
    I have had one of the problematic users check their "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..." and it DID NOT fix the problem.
    I have added the webfont into a header design built in HYPE. Here is the webfont coding I'm using, and again, it works fine on most PC's, but at least two users are having problems:
    URL to test:
    *http://www.artacademy.edu/index.php

    Did you also make them check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure that downloadable fonts are enabled.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can also use the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) to check for errors and use the Fonts tab in the Inspector to check which fonts are used.

  • Firefox not rendering page correctly

  • Firefox not rendering fonts [SOLVED]

    I'm having this problem for some time, but it never bugged me too much. Yet, I still want to find the cause and fix this issue.
    Firefox doesn't show me the correct fonts on some websites - not even on this forum. I'm using infinality patches, if that matters. There's a screenshot below showing the difference between firefox and chromium, with chromium rendering the fonts correctly.
    Please advise or give me a hint. Thanks

    huh! that was quick from my part: I found the issue - I had to set the presets in the infinality bundle created by bohoomil.

  • IWeb 09 Text not Rendering Consistently (text to picture optimization)

    I am using iWeb 09 and finding that custom fonts are not being properly rendered to be output as images or as Apple calls it optimization.
    Under iWeb 06, this worked perfectly. Custom fonts were saved out as image files and retained their design aesthetic. Here's a site I did that does exactly that (www.stuffiputonline.com) The font I used was Eurostile and it all outputs perfectly as image.
    In 09, custom fonts are not being output as images and instead show up as Times Roman, or some other generic web font, when opened on a third party computer. (The site in question is editroom.info and I am using Avant Garde as my header and sub-header font.)
    I have tried turning on the optimization preference to gauge what's happening. However, iWeb's behavior is totally inconsistent. Sometimes the custom fonts show the optimization warning, sometimes they don't.
    I've tried some tricks which I thought would force optimization/image render. I added a tiny shadow to all my custom font text. Okay, great it all showed the optimization warning.
    I open my site on my wife's computer and almost every font that was supposed to be an image is coming up as editable Times Roman text. Clearly, Apple has retained a text information despite showing it as image render inside iWeb.
    Any thoughts. Is this just a 09 3.0 bug?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Add a drop shadow to the font in the Font window and set the opacity to 1 or zero percent as show in this screenshot:
    Click to view full size
    If you already haven't done so go to iWeb's preferences and check this checkbox: Show text imaging indicator. Then you'll get an indication when the text box will be converted to an image file.
    You do know that this will make the site load slower in many browsers, particularly Internet Explorer.

  • Why does Firefox not support the "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style? All other major browsers support it.

    The "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style is supported by all major browsers EXCEPT Firefox. I had thought that this would have been fixed with Version 4. But it was not. Then I had hoped that it would be fixed in version 5. Yet it still is not supported.
    PLEASE, PLEASE add this support.

    MDN docs say it will be in firefox 7. See

  • Mozilla/Firefox not rendering MyYahoo page after update

    I did all the updates this week (10.4.4, Itunes, Quicktime) and also installed iLife 06. Now Mozilla 1.7.12 and Firefox refuse to render MyYahoo page correctly. It is completely unusable with object spread out far to the left and down the page.
    Safari, of course, works fine but I've never liked Safari and I like to stay consistent with my Solaris environment at work and on my laptop.
    I deleted the mozilla cache (both through Preferences and the finder) to no avail.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Jim, trash Mozilla and Firefox, empty the trash, restart your computer,
    Go back to there site and re download them.
    Remember, always repair permissions before and after any update.

    First Rh does not natively support left to right languages. There is information on my site and at http://www.wvanweelden.eu that may help.

  • Rollover text not rendering correctly in Safari 7.x

    Safari 7.x and my blog (NotNecessarilyPretty.com) are not getting along.
    Specifically, the rollover text in the post titles (see attached or visit site) is not rendering correctly. The right edge of the text does not change to the correct color. Have been in contact with Apple as well as the theme's developer, but have yet to be offered of a fix. 
    This blog displays correctly when accessed via Chrome or Firefox, and prior to Mavericks, Safari evidenced no problem.
    Thoughts on how to correct this?
    Thanks!

    The original screenshot didn't show here, so for anyone else reading, who may well know much more about CSS & Safari than I :
    changes to this - note the right edge

  • Some text not rendered

    Hi.
    I seem to have some sort of font problem. Some text on certain website doesn't seem to render proberly. This behaviour is only present with webkit browsers (dwb, luakit, surf, midori, jumanji) and not with firefox or chromium. I can't be sure when this bug was introduced, but I'm pretty certain it was a while ago. A recent update is probably not the problem here.
    The text is not rendered when you first visit a site where the bug occurs, but whill render if you mark the whitespace where the text should be with you mouse. I'll post two images to show you what I mean.
    How it looks:
    http://i.imgur.com/4Gp9j.png
    After marking the text:
    http://i.imgur.com/5BRw9.png
    I'm having the fonts ttf-dejavu and ttf-liberation installed and their paths added to xorg.conf. Nothing else has been done to the font configuration.
    Simon

    I'll probably file a bug report later tonight (although we're in different time zones so that probably doesn't make much sense to you). I'll just compile the latest nightly first, just to make sure that it wasn't just fixed a couple of days ago.
    EDIT: Here's the bug report: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105132.

  • Graphs not rendered in firefox

    Graphs are not rendered in firefox though firefox has native SVG support. Also tried using Adobe plug-in with this workaround (check here - http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows-all.html#AdobeSVG). It requires installing latest version of Adobe's SVG viewer 6.0 with Firefox. It showed up the text on the graphs, but not the graph.

    from my point of view, FF can sometimes find itself (through certain profiles) in problems.
    So the best way to get out that situation is to uninstall FF (check that "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" is empty, or doesn't exist) and phisically REMOVE all profiles entry in user profile (C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla and C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox)
    Then uninstall SVG plugin (it should be in Control panel/add remove app).
    So after that try to reinstall FF (2.0.2 is prefferred version now) and SVG from Adobe (current is 3.03 version) and all should work cool and smoothly.
    We found on some users PC that upgrading-downgrading versions as well as "transporting" profiles under curious circumstances may result in inappropriate profile and...all went wrong.

  • PDF not rendering right in firefox

    I have a PDF file I created on my website and noticed that in FF it is not rendering the images correctly (specifically the background image) The file renders fine in IE and Chrome but not in FF, which produces a lot of odd lines in some images and the background. I have had several people check this for me and they have the same problem, the PDF will just not show correctly in Firefox, even one person that tried it, FF will not show any pictures for her on the PDF. Did not know where to post this, as it is not really a question but an observation.
    Shy

    I am sure this is helpful for those that are computer savvy like myself, but most readers of my PDF newsletter on my site are not. So it will not help them much, heck I spent 10 mins. in chat last night explaining to them what a URL is, most still did not understand. I will pass the info on anyway just in case, telling them this is only a problem if they are a FF user, or that they can use IE or Chrome if they like so it renders correctly.
    Thank you
    <blockquote>
    Hey Shyannes,
    It is rendering differently because IE uses the Adobe reader plugin to display PDF's and Chrome uses a custom PDF viewer. Firefox also has a custom PDF viewer (different than both IE & Chrome).
    Firefox users can view the PDF using Adobe reader by following these steps:
    #Click on the Download button (the one to the right of the print button).
    # Change it from Save file to Open with: '''Adobe Reader'''
    #Click OK.
    Hope that helps.

  • Server Side Includes not rendering correctly in Firefox with Layers

    Hi
    The server side includes are not correctly rendering with layers in firefox. From my site here:-
    http://www.osteriastecca.com/index.php
    the home_page.php content renders above a layer on the index.php page. Initially I thought this might be a Flash layer issue but the wmode is set correctly to transparent and it works fine with a normal ssi. It also works fine in Firefox without a server side include as you can see here:-
    http://www.osteriastecca.com/index_old.php
    Works fine in IE and Safari, but not Firefox.
    How can this be rectified?
    Regards
    Glennyboy

    What testing server setup do you have? Are you using something like WAMP?
    What do you see on screen which tells you the SSIs are not rendering? Any error message?
