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

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.

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.

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/

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

'Highlight' Character Style -- Why Does the Font Change?

I want to define a style that mimics a highlight marker.
Choose some text, set the background/fill to yellow.
Highlight filled words, then choose 'Define Style From Selection..."
Then, in the More... selection I deselect every attribute of the character style except for the fill colour. So this should highlight text, but leave every other attribute of the text unchanged -- I think.
But whenever I apply it, the font changes to something I don't recognise -- even though the font is not a part of the character style description.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA

You need to make sure the font is embedded in the PDF. This is optional in some sofware.
If it is not embedded, your local font is used. No such local font exists on the iPad.

Font changes in a pdf document

A document was created in Word, converted to pdf and e-mailed to be signed and returned. Upon receipt of the signed document, it was noticed that some of the fonts had changed throughout the document. How can a font change on a pdf'd document?

Sounds like the font information was not embedded in the file. A common issue. They will need to embed those fonts and send you a different PDF.

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

Font changing in Outlook 2010

Hi All,
Weird one here that Prof. Google cannot answer.
I've got a user who uses Outlook 2010 as part of Office 2010 and then getting email from a particular customer the reply font changes from the standard to Sim Sun and sometimes it's just the body of the email and sometimes also the header too.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and more importantly, how to stop it?
Thanks
Liam

Hi Aravindhan,
Yes, only from an external recipient, when emailing colleagues the font issue is not apparent.
The font of the inward email is Sim Sun, the font is not being changed at all.
Here is the diagnostics I have carried out so far:-
Repaired and reinstalled MS Office
Sending and replying internally does not replicate the issue.
checked the Font used by going to FILE>OPTIONS>MAIL>SIGNATURES>FONT, confirms this is not the issue.
Equally the 'stationary' being used is the default MS stationary within Outlook.
Changing the stationary doesn't improve or worsen the issue.
The issue is only present when using HTML as the email format.
I've logged into the users machine as them and not been able to recreate the issue by sending test emails to myself and others.
I have recreated the local user profile on the machine and the issue also persists.
Formats and Regional settings are all US under control panel except for the time zone.
The issue does not show on OWA.
No other user in that office has the issue, the issue doesn't stop the user from working, the user percieves it as not appearing professional hence their concern.

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Paul

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

Imtiyaz

Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures. The font appears to be in bold.
How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

Convert to PDF w/out the font changing

When I convert my word doc into PDF using Adobe, the font changes from Futura LT to Helvetica. How can I convert to PDF without the font changing?
I need it to be Futura and Adobe apparently does not have that font.

Use the Press or Print job settings. They try to embed all fonts. I am assuming the font can be embedded (is licensed for that).

Font change when converting a Word File

I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003. When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
What am I doing wrong?
The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard
