Font looks distorted and faint with Google Docs

Hey all. When I create a Google Doc (spreadsheet) the text looks oddly thin, creating this weird, distorted, faint version of Arial 10pt. It only looks like this on Firefox (30.0) and not on Chrome or IE.
Check out screen shots here:
Firefox: http://screencast.com/t/rWaA1QXg9jIF
Chrome & IE: http://screencast.com/t/ujtrpv8C
Please understand it actually looks a lot worse here in real life. The screen shot blurs the lines a little, making it look similar - when it reality, its VERY different.
This is a new problem and only happens with newly created Google Doc Spreadsheets. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sham

I'm not even sure why hardware acceleration was disabled. I have now enabled it, and it has helped.
However, it seems the text is not evenly spaced out. Some are normal space, others are too close together.
Again, a little odd. Here's a pic: http://screencast.com/t/h8zHtwkP
Still trying to work though this. Any other feedback or suggestions are welcomed. :-)

  • On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

    Thank you Sanjit,
    I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
    This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

  • Onscreen keyboard with google docs etc?

    Can anyone tell me if the onscreen keyboard works withgoogle apps and other cloud software? Zoho, etc?

    I've heard there are problems with google docs... but an app is on the way.
    You can read docs, but you can not edit.

  • Sync notes with google docs

    Possible?
    I uses notes on my IPAD and MBA.  If it could sync with googles docs it would be perfect

    I have the same message as well but mine appeared after I did a software upgrade and it failed then I had to manually download the last installed software on my phone as iTunes couldnt restore my phone.  Since this happened my iTunes has also said this "bundle" thing and I havent been game enough to sync any notes, contacts or calendars.  I dont know why its there and how to get rid of it.  I dont know if its been caused by a virus etc on either my phone or iTunes, does any one know what the source of this is?  I can only assume that doing a full delete of iTunes from my computer may fix the problem, but then if I do this and it does work does that mean that I lose all of the info on my phone as well as whats in iTunes the next time I sync??  I need help as my work calendars are no longer on my phone.

  • IPhone 6, manual sync of contacts and calendar with Google?

    I usually prefer a manual sync of things like contacts and calendar with Google, rather than an automatic periodic sync. I don't change my calendar or contact list very often, so manual sync works best for me. I could do this with Android, but with iOS if I sync contacts and calendar with Google, and then turn off that syncing, iOS wants to remove my Google contacts and Google calendar events from my phone. So I seem to have no choice, either auto-sync, or no Google contacts and calendar events at all.
    Does anyone out there know of a way to manually sync my Google contacts and calendar events when I want to?
    How often does the Google calendar and contacts sync get done? Maybe it isn't an issue, if it only does a sync when I change my Google contact list or Google calendar?
    Anyways, I really don't like automatic, periodic syncing to a web site happening on my phone if I don't need them to happen.
    Thanks.

    I can help you with your calendar problem.
    You'll need to export your calendar from google into iCal, and then start making all your changes to your iCal calendar.
    I wrote up the procedure with some screenshots here!
    http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/10/icloud-moving-google-calendars-to.ht ml
    I hope it helps.
    About your contacts, I'm not sure I'd be able to give you good instructions since I haven't done the whole procedure myself. I did however, have my Address Books contacts synced with Google.
    This post might help you. It talks about moving Google Contacts to your Address Book.
    http://take-a-tech-tip.blogspot.com/2011/09/iphone-google-contacts-sync-and.html
    That should get your contacts from Google to your address book. Then, you can set up iCloud to have your contacts synced, and that should put them to iCloud. You can check by going to icloud.com and seeing if it worked. Then, I imagine you would have to disable the Google syncing with your Address Book (if I remember correctly, your computer will tell you it has to do this once you enable iCloud syncing for contacts).

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Mac - All fonts look jagged and pixely

    HI,
    I have the problem that all fonts look jagged and pixely when using Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. I am using the right image size 300dpi and so forth. Interestingly enough this only happens in Photoshop. If I repeat the procedure in Pixelmator everything is normal.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions.

    Are you simplifying the font layer and then making it larger? Can you explain exactly, step by step, what you're doing?

  • Issues with 1920 resolution, fonts look tweak and broken

    i just bought a new led display, wich allows 1920x1080 resolution.
    With this resolution fonts looks like tweak and broken, very annoying.
    Firefox is the only application that suffers this problems. Opera and Internet Explorer looks perfect, and also all the others applications installed.
    Clear Type option is activated, and works perfectly.
    The only way to solve the probleme is to reboot firefox and execute in safe mode.
    I have no extensions nor personal preferences (bookmarks either). I've just uninstalled Firefox with all personal data and reinstalled. And the issue stays.
    In safe mode all looks perfectly.
    I'm running windows 7 64bits
    Graphics: RADEON HD 6950

    I did a test using Chunk and a few other fonts that are similar plus one I know works well and the fonts that are similar to Chunk tend to look very pixelated when viewed in Firefox. Look fine in Chrome and Explorer...
    This might be something that the techs at Adobe (Type Kit) would have to look at.
    I posted an image, but not sure if it shows the problem that well.

  • Safari 5.1.5 not working with Google Docs

    In a Google text doc, there is a problem with line spacing such that all the lines in the doc are stacked up on the first line making it unreadable and unusable. I've had this problem with the last few releases of Safari but the problem has just become worse.
    If I click anywhere in the body of the doc I get:
         Google Docs error
         This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible.
         Please try one of these interim solutions:
    Reload this page.
    Download the document by right-clicking on it in the main document list and selecting "Export."
    I'm running Safari in 64-bit so that's not the problem and switching back to 32-bit doesn't fix it.
    I can view the original format of the doc with proper line spacing by selecing File > See original, but can't edit the doc at all.
    Anybody come across a solution or work-around for this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Try another browser, such as Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox.

  • Ai PDF becomes distorted when printed from Google Docs

    For work, I create price sheets that I save as a PDF and host them on Google docs where other coworkers can access them. When documents are printed from Google Docs, they often become distorted. Sometimes images, such as a logo in the header, will be shifted to the right and bumped down an inch or so. I can usually fix this by rasterizing the objects that are moved. Has anyone else seen this before? An idea as to why this might be happening?

    This is really better suited for the Acrobat Windows support forum...
    When you repost, be sure to list details of what version(s) of Acrobat or Reader are being used by your client to print on what OS to what type of printer with what version of the driver...because they will ask!

  • Trouble with google docs wont open in Firefox 5

    Hi
    When you log onto Google Docs from Firefox 5.0 it tells you to "clear cache and cookies" but there is no instruction for 5.0 and instructions for other versions don't appear to help. No probs when I enter Google docs from Google Chrome

    ''''' "Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times." '''''
    Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. <br />
    Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
    I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
    I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

  • SIRI Dictation not working with google docs

    I was wondering if anyone knew why siri dication does not work in google docs. It wont work on chrome, works only once on firefox, and wont work in safari. Yes I followed all troubleshooting documents already. Just in the physical google doc when typing a document it does not work. It'll work anywhere else in general, just not on that page. Any ideas? thanks!

    I am assuming that it has to do with Apples feud with Google. I have the same problem, it is begun to appear that Apple is trying to make it as difficult as possible for Apple users to integrate Google applications into their workflows. It is an incredibly frustrating miscalculation on their part and will be a major factor in my decision to discontinue patronage. 

  • TLF Font Size different from Word, Excel, Google Docs

    I have Times New Roman size 10 font.  In Word, Excel, and Google Docs the height of "Mg" in pixels is 12 but in my application and in the TLF Demo application the height is 9 pixels.
    Anyone know why?
    Thanks

    fontSize in FlashPlayer is in pixels not points and FlashPlayer has a 72 DPI screen resolution (see flash.system.Capabilities.screenDPI).  These other apps may have a better handle on actual screen DPI.  You could try scaling the fontSize setting.

  • IPad Air with Google Docs app

    I have an iPad Air with the Google Doc  App loaded.  In creating a Google Document why is it impossible to SINGLE space within a document????  What is the reasoning why the app does not allow for SINGLE spacing??? 

    Thanks for your efforts but by threshold to wait and have Google Doc developers answer it is short...... I deleted that app and loaded Documents Free by Savy Soda.  It works fine as a document writer allowing for single spacing and many more options......
