Font change in browser

here's a curious question. i've just built my first simple
flash animation and it works well on new versions of IE, Safari,
Netscape and Firefox. But i'm in australia and i went to an older
computer with what i assume is an older version of IE, and the
fonts in the text seem to have reverted to Times Font. But now all
of them, just some of them? Any suggestions?
Thanks. this forum has been extremely helpful to someone new
to flash.

depends how you used text in flash - either set the text
field to Static or if dynamic embed the
fonts. either way will insure they display properly.

Font changes depending on browser

Website built in Must with Verdana set as font throughout the site but the font changes dependng on the browser being used. HELP!!!

Verdana is a "web safe" font. The whole concept of a "web safe" font is a bit of a misnomer. A web safe font is actually a list of fonts.
The tooltip that appears when you hover over "Verdana" in the list of Web Safe Fonts indicates the "fallback" fonts or the "font stack" associated with this web safe font.
The idea with web safe fonts is to choose fonts that are on the vast majority of computers, devices and operating system versions the visitors to your site will be using. However, no one font is on 100% of all computers and devices. When "Verdana" is not on a particular visitor's computer or device the browser will "fallback" to Tahoma. If Tahoma isn't available it will fallback to Geneva. If that's not available it will ask the browser to select a sans-serif font.
Even if Verdana is available on the visitor's computer or device, it may not be the same version of Verdana you were using (and thus may have subtlely different font metrics and thus different line breaks). Even if it is the identical font, the text layout and line breaks may still vary from browser to browser due to subtle differences in the text layout engines in each browser. In the case where the font isn't available at all and the browser has to fallback to another font, the appearance and layout of the text will be significantly different.
To get more consistent font display (though still with some variation from browser to browser and OS to OS) and live text in the browser, use Web Fonts. Click the "Add Web Fonts" choice in the Fonts menu and add some Web Fonts to your menu. These fonts are automatically downloaded from Typekit to the computer/device a site visitor is using, so the same font is always used. (However, rendering and line break differences will still occur due to the differences between browsers and operating systems.)
Another, albeit generally less desirable, option is to use System fonts. When a System Font is used Muse converts the text frame to an image. This makes for slower page load times, but in cases where a specific font absolutely must be used, it may be the only alternative. Muse automatically generates "alt text" for the image so the original text is still there for search engines to index and screen readers to read, but the user won't be able to select or search the text on the page in the browser.

Font changes when client is using IBE (in browser editing). Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

I'm using Web Font, Open Sans Regular
It's fine when I log into IBE but when the client does it the font changes, when they add words to the end of an existing sentence the font is fine, it's when they add a return and add a new line of text, this is when the font changes

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue.

Is there a way to do a global font change in iWeb '09?

Hi,
I inherited a web site, created in iWeb '09. I've got the site files on my Mac ... when I start iWeb,
and select a page to edit, it complains:
The following errors occurred while trying to open this page:
Missing Font TrajanPro-Regular
Missing Font TrajanPro-Bold
Missing Font HelveticaNeue-Roman
Many (most or all) pages in the web site need these three fonts.
Thru googling, I know that those three fonts are proprietary fonts that I could purchase.
However, it seems silly to buy and install a font when the web server and end-user's
browser won't have it (and will therefore get substituted at their end).
Therefore, I think that my best choice is to change all uses of those fonts in the web site to
be uses of some "standard web fonts".
So, how do I do a global font change or substitution in iWeb '09? It seems like an awfully
obvious thing to want to do. (Finding each instance of use and manually selecting the text
and doing a font change is simply not feasible.)
(E.g.: Change "HelveticeNeue-Roman" to "Helvetica Regular")
thanks,
Stan

There is no way to do what you want. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback.iweb.html.

Font changed across multiple browsers?

Recently the standard font in my Chrome browser changed to a funky font. I have searched my Font Book for this font to remove it and I cannot find it.
I tried switching the fonts in Chrome Preferences to no effect.
The font changes to this odd font in many text boxes (as in the one I'm typing in right now) but I see a standard Arial/Calibri in the "Question header" text box above this form... so strange.
This went on for weeks until today when I opened my computer and Firefox updated itself. When it restarted, this ridiculous font is now in my text boxes in Firefox as well! I just checked Safari and yes, this blasted font is in Safari as well.
I felt like it had to be a program that I've installed, but looking in my Applications folder, I just don't see anything that looks like it would produce an over-lapping setting for my text boxes...
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks!
Brandon

Have u found a solution to it? mine is driving me crazy!

Using Labview and WIndows WP fonts change size for no reason

I can fix the page, come back in a few days and the font size has changed to a smaller size. Any idea why?
Message Edited by Fred Bauer on 10-13-2008 11:03 AM

Can you provide some more information on this? LV Version, are all the fonts changing, what custom font are you trying to use and on what parts of the front panel(text boxes, comments, control labels)?
I know in executables, the font size is standardized by the browser, but I find it odd that it works at first but then resets 'after a few days'
Looks like this user is having the same problem...I'll take a look into this when I get a chance, but any more information woul be useful.

Fonts Changing between DW, Safari & FireFox???

So I am experimenting with my new web layout and I have it looking pretty much exactly how I want it in DreamWeaver CS4, but when I preview the page in Safari or FireFox each one changes the font into something different. The font should be Alternate Gothic LT No3 which is what I am using in DW and how it looks in DW and how I built the title block in PS. It reverts to arial in Safari and some sort of Time Roman in FireFox. I have looked through each line of html and cannot figure this one out. Why is this happening?
Here is one of the pages I am having trouble with.

Why is this happening?
Because whatever font you specify in your web page must be installed on your visitor's computer. If not, and you don't specify an alternative font, the browser reverts to its pre-programmed default font which varies browser by browser.
Alternate Gothic LT No3 is unlikely to be an available font on many computers so those without it won't see it.
What to do?
1) Put your font into an image and insert the image on the page - bad idea for many reasons including download times and search engine visibility.
2) Try a font substitution method: http://thinkclay.com/technology/cufon-sifr-flir
3) Specify alternative fonts for those who don't have your Alternate Gothic LT No3
.style1 {font-family: "Alternate Gothic LT No3", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; }
PS There is no text on http://www.kellendengler.com/10-30-09.html, only images, so the problem is not showing up there.

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

Browser Dog, Amy,
The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

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.

Change a browser window title

How do I add/change a browser window page title using iWeb?

iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer.
If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox.
If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
To replace a missing textbox in the Header, choose another theme and then change it back to the original one.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer.
Type your text.
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller (Or do Command--(minus)).
Then select the textbox.
In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
And here's a movie that show how to partially hide the title :

Title fonts change when published

I have been making a site based on the white template. It has a picture in the header. When I alter the page title (e.g. change colour) the font changes to small hardly readable text wjwhen published, even though it looks fine in iWeb (and was fine prior to changing the font colour).
Can anyone help? Is it because of having the jpeg in the header part? There is no overlap of images and the page title.
Thanks

Try dragging the photo out of the header, deleting the text and redoing it in the color of your choice and then putting the photo back.
Save and do a "publish all" and make sure you empty your browser cache before viewing the changes in Safari.
This covers three trouble shooting steps at once and may save you time in the long run.

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
Filter: gfx
Others to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
*Anti-Aliasing Tuner: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/
