Font issue in Mail 3.3

Am I the only one having a font problem with the first header line in a message? The senders name that follows after From: has the top of capital letters cut off, including ascenders on the letter d, etc.
I don't think I had this problem before updating to 10.5.3.

Hi George,
The font in your linked image looks correct, other than being chopped off. I'm not sure what font Mail uses since I don't have that app on my system (I use Entourage). They all look so darn similar that it's hard to tell if the font is Lucida Grande, Helvetica, Monaco, or some other sans-serif font without examining it.
Ferd II suggested something I would go with first, since it's the simplest thing to do. And that's to clear the font cache files from the system. He linked to OnyX, which I use quite a bit myself. Among the many things it can do, there's a section for clearing cache files. Make sure to download the Leopard version. After you get the app running, click on the Cleaning heading, then the Fonts tab. The top check box for "System and Users" should be the only one you need turned on. Click the Execute button. Make sure to shut down all other applications before clearing cache files. Do not try to perform file copy operations during a cache cleaning. Your computer should be doing nothing else.
If that alone doesn't solve the problem, then the font may be damaged. You can reinstall all of the fonts that came with OS X without having to reinstall the OS. Instructions to do so can be found at the bottom of the article, Font Management in OS X. After reinstalling the fonts, clear the font cache files again.
If that doesn't work, then the application itself is likely damaged. It can be replaced by using Pacifist (which the article will point you to use for installing the fonts) in the same manner. That can be a bit more work to do, so please let us know where you are after clearing cache files or replacing the fonts.

  • Font issue in Mail

    Hi,
    For some reason I am unable to use a font (Zapf Dingbats) in my mail program.  I've gone to font book, which tells me the font is installed.  I can use the font in Adobe InDesign just fine, but not in email.  I'd like to include Zapf symbols in some of my emails. 
    I am using a new Macbook Pro, running 10.8.1
    Thank you,
    Patrick

  • Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

    I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
    I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
    Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

    Same issue here whenever I'm using a different color profile. Only the default color profile seems to work properly with the new sidebar in mail.

  • Weird Line Spacing Issue in Mail App and iChat

    All of the sudden, all of the lines of text in my mail app and ichat are all bunched up. It's impossible to read the content. Maybe my baby son pressed something but the font is tiny and illegible. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    Thanks

    Hello Darryn,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Mac. If you are seeing an unusual bunching or overlapping of text in multiple applications, it can often be due to a font issue. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, including one possible specific instance which may result in similar issues:

  • Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

    I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

    I still don’t have a clue…
    So far we’re the only 2 reporting this

  • Issues with Mail Connection in iOS6

    I have a weird issue that's been plaguing me since I upgraded to iOS 6.  My company hosts its mail using an Apple Mail server running 10.5 (yes, outdated, we know and are migrating to Google).  I used to have no problem connecting via IMAP to my mail account on my iPhone 4.  I upgraded to iOS 6 and was receiving an error that mail could not connect to my work account.  I deleted and re-added the account and it seemed to work until a few days later when the issue returned.  I did a restore on my phone and again all seemed well.  About two days later I upgraded to an iPhone 5.  I migrated my data to it from my latest backup in iTunes, done the day prior (day after my restore).  Everything was peachy until a week later when I began getting connection issues in Mail.app again.  I deleted and re-added my account, this time it didn't work.  I restored my phone, it worked...for another week.  I began getting connection issues again.  I've now found a reproducible pattern and horrible work-around and am wondering if anyone else is encountering this.  Here are my steps:
    Mail.app starts telling me it cannot connect to my account.
    I delete the account and reboot the phone.
    After reboot the account IS BACK.  Seriously, it comes back after the first reboot 90% of the time.
    I delete the account again and reboot my phone.
    I verify the account is really deleted and re-add it, then it will work for about a week.
    Ever so often when I reboot that first time the account appears to be deleted.  If I re-add my account then it will not connect, I have to delete and reboot and if the account appears there again then I can delete it a second time and it will actually work when I re-add it after reboot.  Sound confusing?  It is.  One time when I rebooted my phone ALL of my mail, contacts, calendar accounts deleted.  That was awesome.
    Am I all alone here?  Do I have to totally restore the phone without restoring from backup?  Since I've been using iOS since the first iPhone that latter answer is definitely not an easy one to comply with.  So many things I'd have to re-download and configure.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Okay everyone! I struggled with this problem for a long time, and I was just about to send a complaint to Spotify when it worked for me! See, I did a little different than before; this is the list I was going to file:
    "1. I open Spotify from the application menu.
    2. I choose "Online" mode.
    3. My phone asks me how I want to connect to the Internet.
    4. I pick "Easy WiFi".
    5. I choose my WiFi network from the list.
    6. Application seems to be signing me in.
    7. My phone asks me again how I want to connect to the Internet.
    8. I repeat the procedure. Spotify can't connect with WiFi.
     -I have tried to connect using other WiFi networks, didn't work.
     -Before I updated last time I could connect without problem.
     -I can connect using 3G.
     -I can connect using WiFi in other applications than Spotify, for example Opera Mobile and the native browser.
     -I have reinstalled the application without difference."
    However, I did it a little different, which made it work: instead of choosing "Easy WiFi", I choose my network directly from the list: see attachment. I never thought of that I could do so and I can't remember I did that before the update either. I have now synced my tracks and the app seems to be a little buggy, I still hope for an update, though it now works at least. Sometimes it crashes.
    Please, tell me about if this worked for you and if you have other, better solutions. This isn't good enough, I still seek a better way.

  • PDF Format Oracle Reports font issue

    My process is generating the batch oracle Reports.
    Their key map is:
    Key1: %* server=server1 userid=xxxs/xxx@xxxx report=D:\sample.rdf destype=file desformat=PDF
    My process is calling IAS server to generate report. IAS ser is generating and saving the report in the specified location.Reports are running on the server locally and DESTYPE=FILE. So the Oracle Reports output is saved on the server itself. Whenever i open the report on my machine/server i have font issue. Some of the reports has very tiny font. It seems the reports generated by using oracle reports which is Arial Unicode font type is causing the problem. If any reports other then Arial Unicode font like Arial Westrn, those reports are fine. We have 1000s of reports. So we don't want to change each report font type. For me it seems the issue is with the font on the server. Is there anyway to ask App server use Arial Westrn if Arial Unicode not found. How to make these configuration changes in the server. Any suggestions please.

    Maybe this helps or at least points you in some direction ...
    Have a look at font aliasing when configuring Application Server : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_font.htm#i1006140
    If your Application Server is located on Windows I would suggest to install the fonts there.
    In Unix, this a more complex task.

  • Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

    Hi.
    I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
    - When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
    - When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
    The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
    Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

    this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
    login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

  • ICal Print List Hang / Font Issue / Sync Problems...

    Okay, here's a couple issues all wrapped up into one thread/post - reason is cause I suspect they may all be tied together somehow, but am not sure.
    Sync Problems...
    Regarding the Syncing problems, you can find an ongoing thread about @ http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?t=1632
    In short, some of us are having issues with events syncing to our Palm to the wrong timezone, causing them to be an hour off (usually within the new & old DST date change). Yes, all the usual fixes have been tried - pls read the thread noting "adairnet" and ymatto" postings.
    Also, in addition to this time issue, I have iCal events that I've deleted in iCal still show up on the Palm after one-way syncing!
    Print List Hang...
    Every week I print a "list" of events from a certain calendar. The past couple weeks I noticed some lines in the notes field printing on top of each other. Twas odd indeed, but I hadn't had the time to look into the reason. Then this week I was going thru my usual printing proceedure and now iCal locks up, hangs up, crashes, forcing me to force-quit the program. It's usually after I extend the dates beyond 2 or 3 days, but I've not been able to find a consistency. I've redone events thinking they were corrupt with no success.
    Font Problems...
    After the Print List issue above, I opened my Console program to see if it was reporting anything. At first it indicated that it could not find Helvetica Neue and would substitute it for Helvetica. This put me in touch with some font corruption - so I got rid of those bad fonts and activated Helvetica Neue which got rid of that message. But made me wonder if there are more font problems causing the print hanging & syncing problems. I have FontAgent Pro and do have some font issues that I'm trying to work out.
    But the Console is displaying another string of messages every time the Print List proceedure hangs up which I cannot figure out...
    2007-04-24 16:24:54.151 iCal[28975] NSATSGlyphStorage inconsistency. Cannot find run storage for character range {138 67} for CTRun 0xDBE87D0. Ignoring the run...
    2007-04-24 16:24:55.175 iCal[28975] -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:] called with out-of-bounds range. For apps linked on Tiger this will raise an exception. For earlier apps it will produce this one-time warning and continue with existing behavior (which is undefined).
    2007-04-24 16:24:55.176 iCal[28975] * NSThread: ignoring exception '* -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:]: Range or index out of bounds' that raised during delayed perform of target 0xdde58d0 and selector 'renderPreview'
    So, all of this is causing me to wonder if the iCal or SyncServices database is corrupt. Is there a way to dig into the iCal db and check for corruption &/or fix it?
    Or does anybody have any further suggestions on any of these issues?
    thanx.jason.

    RedKamel,
    The SyncServices folder should be avoided like "a swarm of bees". This article discusses some of the issues that can arise when the SyncServices folder is deleted or modified:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
    Data loss and Data corruption can result from deleting or modifying the SyncServices folder, and that data loss or corruption can be propogated to devices, .Mac, and other applications that sync with SyncServices.
    If you have isolated an issue with the other steps in your post, I would recomend speaking with AppleCare before removing that folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How do i change the font color in mail message

    I am trying to change the Font colour in Mail message to Blue as a permanent preference in Mail - Preferences. The system does not accept the settings and goes back to black. Is there a way to change the same.

    The color of the font is determined by the recipient's email client. So you could change it, but it would depend on the recipient's settings.
    And besides, blue is harder to read.

  • Acrobat 7 Pro - Comment Summary Font Issue

    We have a situation involving font usage in comments in Acrobat 7 Pro that I hope someone can shed some light on. It will be some time before we can move to version 8 or 9, so the problem is important to us.
    Here's the symptom, then I have a few basic background questions. The text in a Note comment includes a 'less than or equal to' symbol which appears correctly. The problem comes when the comments are summarized to a PDF file or printed. The 'equal to' portion has now disappeared! I first thought that this might be a font issue, but now am unsure.
    My basic questions are:
    What font is Acrobat using when a comment is created? I realize that you can set a preference for which font to use when viewing comments, but apparently not when creating them?
    When a comment summary is created to a PDF file, what determines which font is used in the summary? We have seen cases where the resulting PDF has used Arial or Tahoma or SimSun or.........
    We have had at least one situation where opening the same Acrobat 7 PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro did not exhibit the problem when summarized there. Was this a known issue that was repaired in Acrobat 8?
    Thanks much for any information you can provide.

    Hi David,
    This is a known issue with Acrobat on Mac.
    Please follow the steps mentioned in the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/blank-eula-screen-appears-acrobat.html
