Font displays incorrectly

I have set Verdana as my display font in all circumstances and always have done with all versions of Firefox. But in this version, on CERTAIN text (e.g. on Google searches, all text beneath the link), the font displays in some 'comic' style font that is near completely illegible.
Certain parts of the webpages are fine and do display in verdana, but not sure why as there are 3 settings for fonts in preferences, serif, sans serif and monospace, but it could have nothing to do with these as they are all set to Verdana as is the default.

Chinese font displayed incorrectly in Windows XP

We are creating pdf documents in our business system containing chinese text and therefore using Windows SimSun font as default. Pdf files shows up correctly in Windows Vista, 7 and 8 but in Windows XP it displayes incorrect characters.
If I copy and paste the text from pdf to Notepad in Windows XP and select the SimSun font it diplayes correct characters. Problem is in Adobe Reader, we have tested from ver 9 and up to the latest but still showing incorrect characters.
Any ideas on why this is happening on Windows XP ?

Do you have the appropriate Chinese font pack installed on any of these computers?

Fonts display incorrectly in published page - iWeb 08

Sorry, another moan / question about iWeb 08.
I started to create my site with iWeb 06 and upgraded to iWeb 08.
My published site looks perfect in safari, firefox, opera and omniweb in OSX.
But in internet explorer and firefox for windows, the fonts in most text boxes do not display properly (reverts to a basic font, not the one specified).
As far as I can tell, if it is a plain textbox, the text displays incorrectly, but if, for example I add a hyperlink to the exact same box, the font changes to the one I specify. (Also some text boxes with a filled background or a border seem to display correctly).
Any ideas how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated.

I asked the same question about a week ago......what people have told me is edit the border, frame or text in photoshop, if I'm not changing thta part of the page....
Are your podcast, blogs and photo pages working ok in IE or Nestcape???.......For me in IE the text and the fonts where the problem.......but in Netscape that was ok, but the podcast, nav bar, photos and blogs are not showing.......When I was using iWeb 06 I did not have this problem......

WebHelp Font Displays Incorrectly in Browser

Using version X5.0.2
Generated WebHelp and uploaded files from SSL! folder to
client's FTP site. When they upload files (all files from the SSL!
folder), the Help text font displays as Times New Roman. However,
the style sheet I used to create the Help set font type at Tahoma.
Also, I'm not sure why, but when I generate the WebHelp, two style
sheet files appear, one named MS_Help.css and the other named
MS_Help_ns.css.

Hello MaLoCo123 -
Re: two style sheets - correct and normal (one for IE and one
for Netscape).
As to the displayed font, not your fault UNLESS you didn't
follow your agreed upon project standards. This is user (client)
setting dependant.
If I opened your Webhelp from my home I would not get what
you want because I don't do Windows and I don't have Tahoma on one
of my Linux boxes (the one I would use to view your project).
I would see what I specify in my browser preferences
regardless of what you wanted, even on a Windows box.
Regards,

DW CS3 Fonts display incorrectly

Hello All,
I just upgraded to DW CS3 and any page with paragraphs with
font size sets to "2" displays as about a 4 pt font on the screen
and is barley readable.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get DW to display fonts
correctly?
Thanks for the help!

Don't use <font> tags.
Can you post a link to one of these pages, please?

Arabic font displaying incorrectly

I used Avery Design and Print onine to create labels and have inlcuded Arabic text. It all looks fine until I download the document as a pdf file where the text becomes jumbled up. In other words, the Arabic letters are still present but it's all mixed up rather than connected the way it should be. I have used Times New Roman for the Arabic text and have also tried different fonts like Arial and Verdana. I have used both Macs and PCs , as well multiple browsers including Chrome, IE, and Firefox. My default browser is Chrome, however. Also, I do have the latest version of Adobe Reader download, if that helps. I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours and nothing is working!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Chrome and Firefox use their own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Since it fails on all three, my first suspicion is that the problem lies with the software that created the PDF.

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

The song titles are displayed incorrectly, how do I fix this?

Ever since an update of itunes a couple of months ago, the titles have been displayed incorrectly in my library. I listen to a lot of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese music and after the update the information turned into squares. I went online and tried the much given solution of converting the id3 tags. This resulted in all my songs (even the english ones) turning to Chinese script when I reversed unicode, which was solved by reversing it again. However after trying all the id3 versions I am now left with a part of my songs being displayed as ?????? and with the other, largest part having the correct names but with the symbol Ƞ spread throughout the titles, which is annoying to say the least.
Other programmes on my computer display the different scripts just fine, and I have Japanese and Korean installed so as to be able to write it. The songs are also still displayed correctly if I acces them in their folders.
I am kind of losing hope after trying to find a solution on the internet for a while now, and have even re-installed itunes completely, to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Treenr3,
Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).

Appleworks 6/Font display problem in 10.6

Has anyone else struggled with the Menu WYSIWYG Font display scrolling so painfully slowly since loading 10.6.2 ?
It races as normal in 'names', but I need WYSIWYG when selecting .... now I may never see Zingbats again.
Any suggestions ?
(I'm also placing this in the Appleworks Forum)

When AppleWorks behave slow or incorrectly there are some maintenance task to perform which usually does help.
Delete Recent items which you find in yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items
Delete com.apple.appleworks.plist found in yourname >Library>Preferences
While in Preferences Find the folder AppleWorks and delete the Appleworks preferences
Empty the trash and restart AW

Helvetica bold displays incorrectly - InD CS5

Depending on the size, Helvetica Bold displays incorrectly in sizes 9 pt and 13 pt. For instance, the word "Howard" displays correctly when the regular font is used; when bold, the 'w' in Howard looks like it is one point smaller: Howard
Unfortunately that whole document is in 9 pt font so changing the size isn't an option. What is the cause of this and is there a solution?

jadelson wrote:

Does it still look like that when you zoom in? ...
Your screen has a finite resolution, and details smaller than a single pixel cannot be accurately displayed. If you display very small text on your screen, you are pushing this technology to its limits. In fact, below a certain size, the letter form has to be coaxed and wriggled into shape to be recognizable at all -- this is the "font hinting" you might have heard of. It's necessary because otherwise a small font size would not be readable *at all*.
The downside is, that way you do not see exactly what you get anymore. But that shouldn't be a problem -- you aren't getting what you see anyhow.
In short, it's just some rounding on your screen. If you zoom in, or you print your page on a reasonably high-quality printer, you will see there is nothing wrong with the size.

Some Hebrew HTML displayed incorrectly (left to right) in outlook 2013

office 2013 with Hebrew language pack on windows 7 professional English version. Some messages in outlook display Hebrew HTML incorrectly (Left to Right). Not all of the message displayed incorrectly but just some parts of it. It offers me to view the
message in a browser and when I do, the browser displays the message correctly. I've extracted from the source code an example of code that is displayed incorrectly:

is there a way to fix that?

Hi, If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, before you can use any of the right-to-left features in Microsoft Office, or even
correctly display right-to-left scripts, you must
Add an input language and
enable the keyboard layout for the right-to-left language.
Please also check if you have set Outlook to use UTF-8:
1. Click the orange "File" tab in the top left corner of the Outlook 2010 window and click "Options" on the pull-down menu. A new window titled "Outlook Options" appears.
2. Click the "Advanced" heading on the left side of the window and then scroll to the "International Options" heading near the bottom.
3. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing messages" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
4. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing vCards" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
5. Place a check in the box labeled "Allow UTF-8 support for the mailto: protocol."
6. Click "OK."

ITunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares. How do I fix this?

The iTunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares.
They are fine on my iPhone, copying to other documents & through the Last FM scrobbler, yet iTunes shows songs incorrectly. I've fiddled with the ID3/Unicode settings - nothing changes.
For example: iTunes shows a bunch of squares, yet when I copy and paste them here it becomes ~ 일렉트로보이즈
This was not a problem earlier - everything was fine in the four years or so I've used iTunes until, I believe, this update. If it was not the update, I'm not sure what else it could be?
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you!

Thank you so much! I vigorously searched around these parts and the general internet before posting and found nothing - it's so simple, too
Hahaha, turns out it was Windows, not iTunes, that broke my font

Since I installed Helvetica Black, all fonts display in bold, but when I uninstall it, they're fine again.

I've seen many other people having issues with all fonts displaying in bold with the latest Firefox update. For me, the update did nothing, but when I installed Helvetica Black to my computer, many fonts on the web show up in bold where they shouldn't.
I have no problems with any of my other Helvetica weights being installed, just Black.
As a graphic designer, I want to have the font, but I also want to see all the websites with the fonts they intended to use, rather than a default font. Is there any kind of add-on or fix I can use so that I can keep websites in their own fonts, AND have Helvetica Black installed?
Other details:
I have the latest Firefox.
I'm on Windows 7.
4 of my Helvetica weights are fine, the Black is not.

Hi there - I'm having similar bold text issues with a customer's instance of Firefox 5.0.1 running on Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1 on a Lenovo laptop. There are two issues to be exact:
# text that is supposed to be normal weight appears bold
# some text has an incorrect amount of spacing (padding/margin) around it
These symptoms appear only on this one machine and appears to be fine in Firefox 5.0.1 across at least 3 other machines running Win 7 as well as all other browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari) we've tested in across a variety of platforms.
I've attached an image with a side-by-side comparison of the normal view next to the broken view as it appears on this specific machine.
I've tried unchecking the hardware acceleration option and restarting Firefox - did not work.
I've also tried running Firefox in Windows XP compatibility mode (as suggested here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/repair-the-google-and-gmail-bold-font-issue/) - did not work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Iphone 5s incoming call number displays incorrectly.

Whenever I call my wife's Iphone from work, the number displays incorrectly on her caller ID. It is always dropping the third number of the area code, so if my work number was 123-456-7890, then when I call her it shows up on her phone as 124-567-890, it doesn't even show a ten digit number. So far I have noticed that it only happens when I call her from the landlines at my work. I also have the exact same iphone 5s on the same carrier and the numbers display perfectly fine on my phone so I feel like it's some setting in the phone. Before switching to an iphone we had her contacts imported from an old Verizon flip phone, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone seen or heard of a similar issue?
Thanks,
Dan

By the way I have completely reset all content and settings several times, tried turning off international assist, tried several suggestions I found online dealing with the sim pin, switched to a different phone to have the same thing happen on that phone also. I have the same exact iphone 5s and carrier and service plan and the numbers appear perfectly on my phone. I'm so confused why this is happening.
