Font issue on windows browsers

Dear All,
I recently developed a site in Adobe muse, but i realize that when i look at the site on my Mac all font's look good. When i look at the site in a browser on my PC the font doesn't look right. It's a normal Arial font. You can see the issue with the character W. All w's look thinner than the other characters. And the font doesn't look that sharp.
Did I do something wrong with my export?

Best regards,

On a mac it looks perfect but my client told me that on a PC the font looked unsharp. So I checked on a PC also and see the same problem. Did you check on a PC? All W characters look thinner.
I agree with the font size, but it's still in experimental phase.
Best regards,
Dick

CS3 Illustrator font issues on Windows 7

We just upgraded our Vista and Xp computers to Windows 7 and loaded and activated our CS3 creative suite. (Yes, we will most likely upgrade soon, but not today.) Everything seemed to go swimmingly until we noticed that we had lost about half our fonts. Even when we installed them in the Windows 7 fonts directory, Illustrator didn't recognize them.
How do you make sure the installed fonts are recognized by CS 3 programs?

I found the instructions below in the Illustrator forum--see thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/699968
If you're still stuck, I recommend that you post a new question in the Illustrator forum.
If you are on a Windows machine you need to copy the .otf or .ttf file to C:\Windows\Fonts but don't just copy them. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to that page and then from the menu options choose "Install Font" or something to that effect to properly install it on the system. Once you do that the font will automatically be recognized by Illustrator. you may have to restart Illustrator for the changes to take effect, but you won't have to restart the computer--they're simply fonts, not program applications.

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!

Browsers (Firefox etc.) have font issues

Safari can't read all web pages. Mac support suggests Firefox, but when loaded the much of the text reads like this ':=@@*$++?aKHMO=^T6'. When Netscape was downloaded the same issue occurs. Since these issues Safari's speed has degraded significantly.
When I created another account and downloaded Firefox the font issues don't occur. I don't want to move everything to another account. Is there a solution?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:

Adobe Pro 8.0 Mac to Windows Font Issue

Here is my dilemma: We have a fillable form created in Acrobat Pro 8.0 on a Mac. It is sent to a Windows Vista (Acrobat Reader) user who then fills it, saves it and sends it to a Windows XP user (again using reader). When the XP user opens it, the characters are all changed to dots. If it is sent to another Vista user, it is fine. To me, it sounds like a font issue. Can someone give me some insight on how we might go about fixing the issue? Thanks.

How do I check to see where the fonts are embeded? Originally the form was created in MAC InDesign then imported into Acrobat to insert the fillable fields. Our grpahics person is not sure where to check the settings in Acrobat. Thanks again.

Font rendering issue in Windows 7 with Aero

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and using Firefox 19.0.2. Aero is enabled, but the ClearType font smoothing is turned off.
At completely random intervals, text is rendered like this in Firefox:
http://i49.tinypic.com/vgshv4.png
Sometimes it can be fixed as simply as hovering the mouse pointer over the affected parts. Sometimes I have to mark the text to get it rendered correctly, and sometimes it can be fixed by scrolling the page.
It can happen on any sites with any encoding, regardless of the font size and color, but I noticed it's extremely rarely happens with Japanese text. It never affects the whole page, only random parts of the on-screen text, and sometimes the interface text as well. Also worth mentioning that it never happens when Aero is turned off.
Is this a Firefox bug, or is something wrong with my system? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue, uninstalling windows update kb2670838 fixed it for me. See also:

Cause
This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
This is on a BIOS system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVO5aeaKeeE
This is on a UEFI system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu. By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot. Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

SSLVPN connectivity issue with Windows 7 x64 All browsers.

I think that I have tried everything to get this working but whatever I seem to do I cannot connect to my SSLVPN using Windows 7 x64. The 32bit version is fine. I have installed the Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2005 for both x86 and x64. I have tried clearing the cache in the Browser. I have installed Chrome and Firefox , I even started my laptop using the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' from Advanced Boot options but nothing is working.
Does anyone have anything else to try. This is a bit of a showstopper for us because not do we have this issue with Windows but we have Mac users as well and that is also an issue.
Cisco really needs to fix this issue fast...
Please help.
Thanks

Try using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer. Sometimes one of the two will work.

Problem with Web-Fonts displayed on Windows PCs?

Hi,
I am creating my first site with Muse, and am having problems getting the web-fonts to display correctly on Windows computers. This happens with both Chrome and IE, however you can see the rendering is much worse in IE. On my Mac (that I'm creating this on, the fonts all display perfectly).
This consistently happens across all web-fonts, currently it is using 'Comfortaa'. There are some design inconsistencies on the website still - it's a work in progress! The temporary Business Catalyst site is http://levante2.businesscatalyst.com.
Shots from the Windows PC:
Chrome on Windows (hard to see the imperfections given the only thing I have to save a jpg is MSPaint on this PC and the compression looks poor anyway) - effectively the problem is that lines are jagged rather than smooth:
IE8:
Strangely, I did some playing around with this over the weekend, and now there is one set of headers (on the 'Food' page), though I'm not entirely sure why this is ok and the rest are not?
IE8, Dark green on light green header is correct:
Any help would be massively appreciated! I'm tearing my hair out.

I think what you're seeing is simply the normal (if unfortunate) variation in font rendering in different browsers and on different operating systems and OS versions. There's a multi-post blog on the Typekit site that describes all the variations caused by different rendering systems across browsers and OS'es <http://blog.typekit.com/2010/10/21/type-rendering-web-browsers/>.
Short of converting the text to images (which has many disadvantages versus live text), I'm not aware of any way to avoid these variations.

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

I have absolutely no idea why this is. I havent been able to
test this in internet explorer, but i'm guessing it will show the
same error. My question then is, why is it that the code below
works for one browser and not for another?

Font Rendering
Every browser and operating system and browser and operating sytem version (just about) renders text differently. Chrome on Windows is currently the worst at rendering text, since it's using an old Windows API which uses an outdated anti-aliasing algorithm for the text. So text in Chrome on Windows generally looks worse that text drawn in other browser or on other operating systems. Typekit has a 7 part blog post here <http://blog.typekit.com/2010/10/05/type-rendering-on-the-web/> about all the ins and outs of font display in different browsers and operating systems.
Scroll Effects
Scroll effects are measured from the top of the browser window. Thus when the height of the browser window differs, even on the same computer, where the top of the browser window is relative to your objects when the page is scrolled all the way to the bottom will differ. Without the URL for your site/page, this is only a guess, but I suspect this is what you're encountering.
Several customers have asked for an option to set the key position as a distance from the bottom of the browser window rather than always being from the top in order to create items that have a specific final location when a page is scrolled all the way to the bottom, but Muse doesn't currently have that feature.

Issues with web browsers

Over the past week or so, I have gradually been encountering issues with all three of the browsers that I have installed on all my Apple computers.
I have the following three browsers installed:
Safari (version 5.1.5)
Firefox (version 11.0)
Google Chrome (Version (17.0.963.83)
On all the following computers:
iMac 2.8 Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X (10.5.8)
iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.6.8)
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.6.8)
It seems that the issues are more noticeable when accessing sites like Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Yahoo or Yahoo Mail... (which makes me wonder if the issues are possibly linked to Flash?) Either the sites don't load or load partially (always quite slowly) and I keep having to refresh/reload the page to hopefully get the full pages to load. But even that doesn't get me anywhere most of the time and I am left with blank pages or partially loaded pages. Today I also noticed issues while trying to use Skype where I kept having connection issues. Not sure if those were linked to the issues with the browsers.
FYI, I keep all my Mac computers and applications up to date with automatic updates and am not sure whether these issues are Mac related, application/browser related or even possibly ISP related? Although when trying to assess my ISP connection speed via speedtest.net it appears to connect at the normal usual rate, both for download (about 13 Mb/s) and upload (about 6 Mb/s) from all three computers.
I have not really seen any other similar recent post on the forums here but did find a post where it was recommended to unchecked the box on the info window to open both Safari and Firefox in 32-bit mode, but it didn't fix anything for me.
I've never had issues with these computers before and they were all running perfectly fine when accessing the internet about a week ago. I am not using any anti-virus software on any of the three computers and I have not installed any new software or made any changes to the computers recently other than scheduled updates. They are all working fine when using applications (MS Word or Excel, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom...) not accessing the internet.
Anyone else has experienced similar issues? Anyone know of a solution? Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Laurent ...
Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ...
Quit all your browsers.
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
(Use Safari for a test). Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
When it comes to browsers, emptying the cache more often can help.
For all your Macs.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

PDF and OTF (Postscript) font issue (is there a PDF validation tool?)

Greetings all,
I am experiencing a problem uploading any documents, which include embedded OTF (Postscript) fonts, to a Cloud based collaboration tool called Crocodoc. The problem/failure appears to occur during the document conversion from PDF to HTML5. It is important to note that this problem is not specific to Crocodoc because I have tested others (i.e. Zoho).
The problem is specifically with Madcap Flare and its recent support for OTF fonts. This is how I arrived at this conclusion:
- Changing the embedded font to TTF only, the published PDF uploads to Crocodoc without incident.
- It is not the OTF font. I have also tested this particular OTF font with other publication tools, including Microsoft Word and Adobe Framemaker; there were no issues.
Other facts:
- PDF files appear to function normally. It is only when I upload to Crocodoc-like apps when the problem manifests itself.
I subscribe to the Creative Cloud but Adobe Acrobat doesn't seem to have any validation functionality.
But here are some other tests that I have done:
- Opened the malfunctioning PDF into Acrobat (no apparent issues)
> Saved as optimized with all discard options turned on plus I ran the sanitize option. The new saved PDF still failed to upload.
> Removed ALL text and saved a blank page. Still failed to upload to Crocodoc
> As a verification, I created a PDF page (from clipboard) with Acrobat and saved that (one line of font using OTF font) - This successfully uploaded to Crocodoc.
> VERY INTERESTING...using Acrobat to CONVERT the problem PDF to eps and then eps back to PDF - This PDF uploaded successfully to Crocodoc.
BUT there is something 'wrong' with Adobe Acrobat's conversion because it only converts the first page back into a PDF. WHAT?
Conclusion, as long as the PDF originated in Flare, it will fail to upload to Crocodoc. However, converting the document to .eps and then back to a PDF seems to have stripped away the 'bad' stuff.
What I am trying to learn is what exactly is causing the upload and conversion error?
Is there a PDF validation tool and might identify what is causing this conversion problem?
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully someone had the patience to read this and has an idea.
Thank you

Hello TSN,
Test Screen Name wrote:
Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
Thanks for your response.
I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
Take care
