Font looks weird

Hello.
Since a previous update, my font looks like this:
Starting in safe mode fixes it, but when I try by disabling plugins/addons/extension it still stays. What can I do?
Thanks

Honestly Jamie, I don't think you lose any noticeable features by having that unchecked. Only graphics nerds are able to tell the difference in my opinion. lol
Everytime I hear about this feature I expect sharper videos with HD like quality or images that look as good as they do on iPhones. But what hardware acceleration '''really''' does is display your web pages as fast as it can. So you go: "Whoa, that loaded fast!". And that's basically all I think it does. That and maybe improve the clarity of fonts... except in your case. :P
Also the fancier your graphics card, the faster your pages will load and I guess the better your fonts will look.

  • Font looks weird on mac

    Hi,
    I'm working on a pc. I'm using a dynamic font which I've
    embedded into my .swf file and the file looks exactly the same on
    my sister's, and my computer at work - both pc's - as it does on my
    pc. But on my cousins computer - a mac- the font looks the same
    except one character, the "W", always looks kinda filled in, making
    it look a little different from the rest. All words are in caps, so
    I've only embedded caps. How do I stop this?
    Can anyone help?

    well you could 'break apart' the text, unless it is dynamic
    text you are changing, this in effect changes the text into vector
    art. If the font is embedded it should display the same even on a
    MAC, it might have something to do with it not being a fixed with
    font or the fact that you have the text box placed at a non-integer
    point, say x: 102.3 y: 72.1 This might cause the Mac to skew the
    letter, make sure the text box is 102,72. Not sure why flash needs
    to have points of a pixel anyway!

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • After installing Solid Edge ST6, fonts on IE (like facebook) looks weird.

    Hi
    After installing a Educational copy of Solid Edge 6, fonts look weird. It has happened before and I then I uninstalled Solid Edge and the problem was gone. Right now I have to use it for school work and kinda hate browsing facebook and other pages that the
    font looks messed up. They look like are pushed from the sides and look kinda thin. Weirdly pages like YouTube and Google look alright. It is not the browsers fault, because the problem is on Chrome aswell. 
    If needed, the laptop is a HP ProBook 470 G0, running windows 8 pro.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Check if this helps?
    IE\Tools\Internet Options\General, under the "Apperance"\"Fonts" change the Font settings.
    As
    Milos Puchta mentioned, it's better to contact Siemens support for this issue also happens on  Chrome.

  • TS4338 I have the font installed and yet, my itunes looks weird. What else can be done?

    Hi,
    I have the font installed and yet, my itunes looks weird. What else can be done?
    Thanks in advance

    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
    - If it did not show, see if placing the iPod in recovry mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.

  • Saving as PDF: fonts look crappy?

    I have a small test .psd image with just one piece of text. When I save this as .pdf from Photoshop CS4 (using Save As and choose Photoshop PDF format) and open the .pdf with Acrobat 9, the font looks pretty messed up. Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://i26.tinypic.com/5flp2p.jpg
    I have attached the example .psd (and saved .pdf) here.
    Now the strange thing is: it doesn't happen *always*, sometimes the PDF looks all right. I can't seem to detect what it depends on. I have plenty of available RAM and harddisk space, that's for sure. It seems to occur especially when I already have another PDF open in Acrobat as well. For example, if I copy the test.pdf from above zip to test2.pdf, then open one in Acrobat, then the other, the first may look all right (not always) and the 2nd usually looks messed up.
    What's going on? I'm not sure if this is a problem with Acrobat rather than PS, but it happens ONLY with PDFs I save from PS. Never with PDFs from any other source.
    Thanks in advance if someone can clear this up!

    Font embedding rules, for sure. If a font is considered "locked" and thus un-embeddable, any program is required to convert it to contours as per the PDF language ruels. By keeping a document open under the same name you may just trigger that weird behavior and PS is just not good at it. On the other hand, you could just use a wrong PDF preset and it flattens things to a low quality. As a third possibility, PS could jsut embed the font name reference and then for some inconceivable reason it doesn't get associated in Acrobat. Hard to tell. I'm just not in the mood to do any deeper investigation after a hot, long day full of work, so maybe someone else has a better answer for you...

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • Pages look weird after reinstall

    I formatted my drive, installed Win7, then reinstalled my CS3 suite.  I created "new" sites to match the ones that I already had and pointed them to the folders where the files were.
    The pages all look weird in DW now.  It only shows a header (a php include) and nothing else.  If I publish the page like this, when it gets to the browser it looks fine.  I've included page code below, and also a screenshot of what I'm seeing in DW.  If anyone can help me get back on track I'd appreciate it.

    You are missing your DOCTYPE on your page, it should go in-between
    <?
    and
    <html>
    Create a new page and the first up to 3 lines will be your DOCTYPE, as an example
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  • Fonts Display Weird Sometimes

    I'm almost positive it's because of a font I installed but I installed over 1000 so I can't really pinpoint the problem. Anyways, sometimes when I open a document, the font won't be displayed correctly. It will always be displayed in the same weird font too - something that looks like Dark Crystal. It's also not all documents; only select documents show up differently and they consistently do so. I thought the problem was Preview so I downloaded Adobe but the problem persists. Just now, a document opened in Word and the font was weird. According to Word, the font is Times New Roman but it's not.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

    For the font stuff, I'll leave you in the hands of the expert Tom Gewecke. Once you sort things out, see:

  • Does your verdana uppercase 'I' look weird? [solved]

    Mine looks more like [ than an I. I'm not sure why this is. I'm at work now and everything looks ok with verdana in our ubuntu box and, of course, in Windows so I suspect this is an Arch thing. In fact yesterday I copied verdana.ttf into my font directory (can't remember the exact path, /usr/share/font/ttf I think) from an XP instalation and it still looked weird.
    Anyone else experience this?
    edit:
    Well this is something that had been bothering me for a long time but after upgrading last night "I" now looks fine. I assume it's something to do with the new version of freetype

    Im not sure if thats Verdana but the Selector in Wikipedia (looks like an I) has a weird marker at the top.
    What the hack is that?

  • I looked at system.log in the system profiler today and see lots of activity at 2 a.m. when I was fast asleep, should I worry? It seems to reset hostname and mentions frequent transitions for interface, looks weird to me (I'm not a teckie!)

    I've been seeing messages exactly like that (and many, many other kinds) in the Console since the first version of OS X.  They look menacing but are harmless.
    You don't need any kind of security software.
    Just surf the web carefully, pay attention to where you're going and don't install anything that you don't recognize.  If you are asked to enter an admin user name and password, DON'T.  Unless you know for sure that you initiated the installation from a known and reliable source (like Apple).
    Mac malware relies on social engineering.  No amount of security/anti-virus, blah, blah, blah software is going to help.
