  • Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

    Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
    Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
    I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
    iWeb

    Safari

    If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

  • Font issue with Safari

    I've read of others having font issues with Safari 5.1 and Lion, but I still have Snow Leopard and am having an issue with some fonts showing as a block of As. This occurred when I set up Suitcase Fusion 3, but I did not touch any system fonts. I was able to solve part of the issue with activating Arial in the font manager, but some areas still do not reveal font, most notably, areas marked for username/password on forms. Any ideas?  Btw, I do not seem to have a problem in Chrome or Firefox.

    Thanks, Carolyn. I use a third party font manager but disabling it is not an answer for me. I put some fonts back into the user folder (never touched the fonts in the system library) and resolved SOME of the "A" issues, but not all. I have no problem in Chrome or Firefox. I've tried multiple solutions in the past couple days, including this fix for sandboxing conflict http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/ but then I got permission errors when I tried to change the file. I'm not even running Lion and I'm having this issue.

  • Font Issue in Safari after Migration Assistant Upgrade

    I just used Migration Assistant to move from an old Mac Pro tower to a new Mac Pro trash can (chose not to transfer Applications) and most everything is fine except for a strange font issue in Safari. Safari doesn't seem to render Helvetica. Instead I get this:
    Chrome seems to render it fine. I was using FontExplorer X to manage fonts on the previous machine so perhaps that is part of the problem (I didn't transfer applications and have not bothered to install it on the new machine yet).
    I tried clearing the font cache and repairing permissions as noted in this article, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

    Applications/Font Book and validate your fonts.

  • Having Font Issues In Safari After Upgrading To Leopard

    So...i'm having some font issues in Safari after upgrading to Leopard....
    It works fine on my desktop but not on my laptop. They both run on Leopard.
    Also, it works in Firefox but not Safari.
    Here's some screens of what it looks like. This only pertains to any site that uses this font and it isn't uncommon, (sites like google, yahoo, and the WoW Forums)
    http://i21.tinypic.com/1z6cwsx.jpg
    zoom in to see what i'm talking about, it's really messed up on the full screen

    Anyways...any idea on how I can fix this?

    I disabled the stencil font and deleted it. No luck here.
    I ran a font validation check and this is what showed up, don't know if this means anything.

  • Bold Font issues in Safari

    Since installing leopard on my Mac Pro Quad my safari highlight font has changed to a really Black Condensed font like Helvetica Compressed or Inserat, not sure which, and the letterspacing is really tight making it illegible most of the time.
    I can’t read most of the headlines etc... on most sites when the text is below 20pt.
    Please help cant work out why!!!
    It doesn’t do it in Camino etc.. just Safari!

    Fixed it now found so older forum fixes.
    I completely removed all the fonts from my suitcase which cleared any font conflicts rebooted safari and suitcase and it didn’t fix it. But restarted the Mac and it did so make sure you reboot the machine afterwards!
    Thanks

  • Font issues in Safari and mail

    I'm experiencing some annoying font display issues. At least I'm pretty sure it's font related. In Safari there are some pages that add about 5 or 6 blank lines under test causing the page to be very spread out. In Mail this is also happening with RSS messages and the message count next to the mailbox. It's not a life threatening issue, just a very annoying one.
    Anyone know of a way to fix this? I have tried going into Mail preferences>fonts & colours>mailbox fonts and i can change the fonts and so on, but can't remove the space below the fonts. One annoying part of all of this is it's causing the message count highlight (the little circle around the message count to be this huge balloon). I have a screen cap, but couldn't find anywhere to post it here.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I've uploaded a screen cap to give you an example of what's going on. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

  • HT4561 After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

  • Yosemite Safari Font Issue

    Hi!
    I just updated to Yosemite and my Safari fonts have been replaced by what appears to be Arial Bold Italics.
    Everything looks Bold and Italics, even when I am typing this message.
    Can someone help me with this font issue?
    Thanks.

    I'm having this issue too. It starts this way and next I will see all the fonts corrupt or change to a bold arial font. I'm totally sick of this. Restarting in safe mode, repair permissions, remove caches and preferences and when that doesn't work, reset Safari. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.
    I'm not buying a new mac till they do!

  • Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Browser Font Issue

    Hi, i'm running lion 10.7.4 on my imac (mid 2011, i7) I have safari, google chrome, and firefox available, but I get the same odd fonts showing up on ebay for example. The font looks like times in some of the menus and sign in area, yet elswhere on the page the fonts look fine. 
    I think it may be a system font glitch but can't seem to find what is causing it.
    I don't have the same problem on my old G5 so can someone help?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Bee, thanks for the help...
    i did load up suitcase and noticed a few fonts that shouldn't have been in the library, so i cleared these out so that I'm back to the base fonts supplied, that's a total of 188 in the library and 37 in the system as far as the apple site shows. Please see attached image with red rings around the fonts issue areas.

  • Safari 6.0 font issue

    I have recently updated my system to mountain lion and have some strange font issues. Some sites have a bolded body font and I cannot find any way to change it!

    Open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab.
    Click:  Open Print Queue then delete the queue.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference...

  • Is that a webkit rendering issue in Safari 5.1?

    I add my voice to rendering issues encountered in Safari 5.1, here they are:
    1) Fonts look pixelated on some websites. Here's an example drawn from weebly.
    The font used here is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, so I guess there must be a font rendering engine in weebly that allows non web safe fonts to be displayed properly. That works fine in Firefox 5 & 6, and until recently on Safari 5. Chrome 12 has exactly the same issue as Safari 5.1, so it could be a general rendering issue in webkit.
    2) Videos on Vimeo show now a black rectangle instead of the video.
    3) The "Insert image" feature in this forum takes forever to load, displaying a white rectangle during several seconds. Same issue with the Evernote clip bookmarklet.
    Hope these issues will be fixed soon, any help is appreciated if something can be changed in Safari settings.
    Note: resetting Safari (including cleaning cache) doesn't solve the described problems. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Quad 2.8 Ghz.

    Thanks for helping diagnose this.
    However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
    If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
    If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
    On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
    This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
    Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

  • Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

    I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
    Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
    In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
    I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.

  • Font issue with DW

    I'm getting close to finishing my first site.  I recently went online to test it out.  I noticed on the desktop everything seemed fine.  When I looked at it on my ipad I had a bunch of font issues.  That reminded me of what I heard about building font stacks.  I looked into it and I must be missing something because no matter what I do I can't seem to get the fonts to   work on an outside machine.  I'm using DW cs5

    What John is saying is:
    A computer can only display fonts that are installed on it. Anything else will display as unicode characters (looks like heiroglyphics) or if the system can do it, will be substituted with a default font (usually Tahoma or Arial).Try writing a document in WordPad using a custom font, and the delete the font from your system. When you open the document again you will either see an error message warning that the font is unavailable or heiroglyphics where your text was. Browsers don't give any warnings like a word processor does though.
    I have over 4800 different fonts installed so the odds that I'll run into something on a webpage I can't view, in the designed font, are pretty slim.
    The odds of the average user (whose computer only has about 246 fonts installed) seeing your custom font (calamity teen btn) are about one in a billion. Instead, the browser will substitute a "default" font for it, (usually Tahoma or Arial).
    If you are building something for JUST your personal use and you are the only one who will ever see it, use whatever fonts you want. Your system has them installed and can display them in your custom designed webpages. More power to you. BUT...
    If you are building it for the web (and over six billion potential visitors), stick to the standard web fonts.
    Sure, it won't look as fancy as what you've just designed, but at least people will be able to see the fonts and the layout won't be all screwed up when Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome or Safari makes a substitution.

  • How to increase font size on Safari browser itself?

    Hello All
    I have been using my iMac for only a couple of weeks now, but during that time I have searched high and low for a setting to adjust the size of the font on the Safari browser - NOT the text on the web pages it displays (I figured that bit out!), the text on the actual browser frame itself e.g. the bookmark title, the titles displayed on the tabs etc
    I also have not figured out how to increase the size of the text on the navigation bar at the top of my iMac where all of the available options for the program in use are displayed (file, edit, view and so forth)...
    I am very pleased with the Mac overall, but the issue of these tiny weeny text sizes on the Mac navigation systems is a problem - anyone with real eyesight troubles would certainly be in a pickle!
    Hopefully someone here will know what to do - I guess I just haven't found the secret yet!
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Sorry, but you can't change the size of the fonts or the menus in application windows. They aren't that small, so if you have trouble seeing them, you can use the Zoom feature of Universal Access to enlarge everything you move your mouse over. It's in System Preferences.
