Font problems with Gill Sans Light in Dreamweaver

The following site: www.cabrackett.com/testSite has a very small testing html page illustrating a problem I have been having with Gill Sans Light.
In Dreamweaver CS4 Design View, Gill Sans Light displays properly. When viewed in a browser (Firefox 3.5.3) or in Live View, a generic serifed font shows up. Assuming that the only reason for this could be improper installation of the Gill Sans Light font, I opened MS Word and the Gill Sans Light font works perfectly.
Also, when Gill Sans Bold is used, instead of light, the font does show up properly in all cases: Design View, Live View, and Firefox.
Any ideas what is going on? If the Light font were corrupted then how could it work in MS Word?
Thanks,
Chuck

As Joe says, Gill Sans Light isn't "web-safe" because browsers rely on the font being present on the user's computer. I don't have Gill Sans Light on my computer, but I do have Gill Sans MT. As soon as I changed your CSS to Gill Sans MT, it worked.
Because fonts are dependent on what is available on the user's computer, you should always specify several fonts in order of preference, and end with a generic font (serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, or fantasy). For example:
body {
font-family:"Gill Sans Light", "Gill Sans MT", Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
The first one available on the user's computer will be displayed. If none is available, a generic sans-serif font will be used instead.

Having a problem with Geo Sans Light

I have a deep and abiding affection for the Geo Sans Light font. However, I'm having a strange problem using it in Apple Pages. Any time I have tabs followed by certain forms of punctuation, Pages automatically puts in strange hash marks. It's hard to explain, so I'm going to put a photo clip in here:
See those marks to the left? I can't get rid of them. Through experimentation I've determined that they only appear when there are quotation marks in the text to the right. If I remove the quotation marks from that text, the tab marks disappear.
I'm looking for any help that I can get. I want to get rid of those marks. They're screwing up the aesthetics of my syllabi.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Barry
Geo Sans is no more installed by Apple on recent machines.
It's a free font available from several web pages :

I am running Snow Leopard. Transferring the same texts to TextEdit has no problems, so this is a Pages problem, I think. Corruption of Times New Roman and Arial fonts, I suspect, but where? and what do I do about it? I just need to be pointed to a source of advice, I think.
Thanks

Just a temporary glitch - removing fonts which aren't compatible solves the problem.

Hi, mjarrott
My system is Windows 7. (GB Ram 8.00 on a Dell Optplex 980) And Photoshop is my newly purchased in Portuguese, because I'm Brazilian. The problem appears when I try to use the Filters menu - finishes - lighting effects.
My old version worked just fine ...

Font problems with RH 7.1 and JDK 1.3.1

Hi there,
I've read all post about this and looked at sun docs on how to add fonts. I've even replaced the fonts.properties with a new one I got from sun's page, but I can't make jdk 1.3.1 load the correct fonts for JDeveloper.
Could anyone post here the steps to do it?
I've also tried JDK 1.4.1 and for the moment everything works but some wizards, which I must run reverting to 1.3.1 JDK.
Thanks,
Ignacio

To be honest, I managed to solve de problem getting the missing font from a Windows system (Ufffffff!!!!!). Now I don't get any font problems with JDK 1.3.1 but I find it very much slower than 1.4.1, and the problem is that JDeveloper wizards get weird in 1.4.1 and work OK in 1.3.1 ... let's hope Oracle releases a 1.4.1 ready JDeveloper soon.
Thanks for your message.

Font problems with dreamweaver on Mac

Hi, i installed dreamweaver cs3 as a part of web premium
suite on intel mac os x 10.4.10. My international settings are set
to Turkish. There are some oddities with fonts. Dreamweaver font
list displays some fonts with CE suffix (Helvetica CE, Lucida
Grande CE ...) but these fonts are not installed on my computer.
How does dreamweaver displays these fonts? I checked the install
log and couldn't find where these fonts are located. Other
applications in the web premium package doesn't show these fonts.
Also, dreamweaver is having problems with Turkish characters
if I don't use these fonts. For example, I want to use default
operating system fonts Helvetica or Lucida Grande (which have
Turkish character support and works fine with Adobe Photoshop CS3
and Illustrator CS3) in css font family but Dreamweaver can not
display Turkish characters with these fonts. If I use Helvetica CE
instead of Helvetica, Turkish characters are displayed without any
problem but this is not an option because most people have
Helvetica (not Helvetica CE). Previously I was using Dreamweaver MX
2004 on windows and didn't have any problems with Turkish
characters.

Update,
I have this type of code in the old pages on my body text I'm guessing it's because in most of my pages i.e. old dreamweaver mx days I've selected the text and formatted with the property inspector instead of css by mistake.
text eh?

But I want them like this so i can change it all with css vs manually.
text eh?
So I've followed your advice and searched and replaced the former with the later on the dreamweaver template page and on a few individual pages, hoping that will allow me to eventually use css to adjust it all.
I am very very tempted to do a global search and replace with changing
this 
to this 
and this 
to this 
but I'm kinda worried if I don't do each page manually and test each one, all 148 pages, oh joy, and check something it could bork my site in ways i'll take forever to find out and fix. Am I correct in worrying about this?

Font problem with Montserrat and Maven Pro from google

Seems like some fonts don't render as they should in Firefox 29.0.1. I tried to use google web fonts like Montserrat and Maven Pro, no problem with downloading but this fonts don't look good.
I tried to install Montserrat to my Windows 7 (64) and deactivated css so that FF runs the font but same problem occurs.
A really strange problem is that from my computer at work this fonts don't work from FF or Chrome, all versions of IE is fine.
At home i have a laptop with same OS and version of FF and from home it works! But not Chrome..
I have search on the net and at your support site but haven't find any answers yet.
You can look at http://arenago.axiell.com for your self. Below is troubleshooting information from my version of FF where this problems occurs (Sorry about the Swedish)

Problem with opening html page in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to ask the forum because I have a problem with Dreamweaver 8.
In the past when I work with my PC on Windows XP I didn't have this problem.
Now I have a new PC with Windows 7 Familial Edition Premium.
I can open he most pages I would like, .htm particuliarly but some of them like .html don't opened in Dreamweaver 8
on PC with Windows 7.
Example:
With this page: http://www.pb-veille-consulting.com/veille.html
I can open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows XP on my portable PC.
But I can't open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows 7 on my fix PC.
Where is the problem?
You could watch the code of this page and perharps give me answers from my question.
Thanks a lot.
Patrick.

It could be that Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml do not have the full set file extensions.
The first one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration and needs to have HTML added to line 1
The second one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration/DocumentTypes and needs to have HTML added to line 3 so that it looks like

HT1338 Font Problems with Snow Leopard

I'm having font problems after updating to Snow Leopard. It seems to have problems with spacing the fonts properly and reading some fonts properly in Page and Keynote. Any suggestions of how to fix it?

Dear Kurt,
in bigger companies thinks come slow :-) Actually we are switching from 10.4.11 with Quark 6.52 and FontReserve to 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5 and FontBook.
And as you may guess we're running directly into the HelveticaNeue problem.
We cleaned up the system fonts so that only the absolutly needed are in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/ and all other fonts (from MacOS and our own) are in /Lib/Fonts/ where they are in folders for better handling.
The number of additional fonts were radically stripped down to the REALLY needed (about 70 fonts with their families).
We removed the protected fonts and replaced Helvetica, HelveticaNeue, Times, Symbol and ZapfDingbats with PS Type1 fonts.
Our goal was to have no font conflicts to keep our users save. In addition we put fonts in predefinded collections to switch them on/off with an AppleScript that picks the collection name.
And from here it went fancy: The Apple apps are working fine but external app like Adobe CS5 and MS Office only see the fonts in /Sys/Lib/Fonts/.
When we put the HelveticaNeue.dfont back (no matter if it's in the system or at ~/Lib/Fonts/) the other apps also get all installed fonts. We found out that this works even if the HelveticaNeue.dfont is deactivated.
Unfortunately this brings up two problems:
The HelveticaNeue.dfont can't be put to a font collection without taking the corresponding font from the Type1 font with it, so it's more difficult to handle with the AppleScript (we have to pick the exact single name).
The second is that if something goes wrong and all fonts are switched to active we have a font conflict and the possibility that the dfont is used in documents.
I think I have read all (ok, many :-) of your posts about the Helvetica problem in 10.6 as well as your really great document about font handling in OS X.
But I wasn't able to get it to work.
Do you have the one big hint for me???
Thanks and best regards... Udo

Times Font Problems With PDFs

Hello,
I am having an intermittent problem with PDFs with Times fonts.
Sometimes the PDFs print OK and other times words will be jumbled together or strange characters will take the place of certain punctuation marks. There are several other things that seem to happen, but I cannot remember every issue. Every time there is a problem, the PDF "Looks good on the monitor!".
This happens on 10.3.9 and Os9 machines also.
I have done Permission Repairs on a regular basis, cleaned my Font Caches, used FontFinagler etc.
I have run Norton on the Os9 machines, taken all fonts out of ATM and put them back in, trashed Adobe prefs, etc.
Sometimes this happens on PDFs from PCs, other times it happens on PDFs from Macs.
All of the versions of Acrobat we are using are Professional versions with the latest updates, so that shouldn't be the issue.
If anyone has any input on this, it will make my life considerably easier.
TIA,
David

David,
It sounds like the problem PDF docs did not have the fonts embedded into the docs when they were created originally, and the Times font on your computer is different. A couple of possible options, (a) ask the original creator to re-make the PDF doc with embedding the fonts, or (b) try re-writing the doc by doing a Save As... in Acrobat.
Hope this helps.

Fonts problem with forms on web

Hi
I have deployed an application developed in forms 6i on web. I have strange problem with Arabic fonts. When I browse the application from win'98 client PC I have no problems. When I browse the same with win2000 pro client PC, I have problem with fonts. Characters get displayed properly but they get displayed from left-to-right. Text on some buttons/display items is ok but some buttons/display items have above said problem in same form. Strange problem.
Please help to overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance
Syed

Hi again - i logged to metalink and saw, that there is a workaround for this.
The problem is solved, when I edit the form's package and comment the RETURNING clause.
It is simple for me, but if I give to other the ability to create forms, should I repair every of them ?
Is there a patch for this ? The problem with dblinks and forms is old, isn't it ?
Thanks for explanation.
