Font Troubleshooting
I have Elements 9.0 and a Mac with Lion OS. The fonts are not displaying correctly. The letters are spacing too far apart. I have looked for a "kerning" adjustment but can't find one.
I have been using this program for 2 years and this just started happening in the last couple of days. I don't know what the issue is. If I try the same font in apple's "pages" program it prints as it is suppose to.
First, when the text tool is active, click the tiny triangle at the far left of the options bar and choose Reset Tool. If that doesn't do it, quit the editor, then relaunch it while holding down command+shift+option. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

I just updated Firefox to 6.0, and suddenly certain parts of the text which used to be in English now display in Devanagari, the font used in Hindi. How do I get it back to English?

Some text is rendering in a strange font in firefox on my Mac.
On some website, there is text that is rendering in an fancy type font, almost like handwritten font. I have no idea why it is happening. I will attach a screenshot of an example of my homepage where this is occurring in just one place I have found.

Firefox is replacing fonts with a handwriting scribble font
today, I have opened up firefox and some sites I am building (using georgia as font) look odd. Firefox is replacing all instances with a terrible scribble hand drawn font. This is only happening on this machine and only in firefox. Safari on this same machine is fine. Firefox on my other laptop is fine too. It's not only my sites either, the entore firefox site (including this page) is in the same awful hard to read font. I thought it might be alocal font issue but it has only just started happening and the fonts work fine in safari.
Please help!!

Firefox is not displaying some fonts
Since I upgraded my mac to the new imac and to OS 10.6 I have been having problems with fonts on Firefox. Most of them do not display. In fact, I am sending this message on Safari because Firefox only showed the login, not the ask new question page. I also get messages asking me if I want certain fonts to be used by Firefox on one of my partitions in an external drive. Every thing works fine on Safari.

Viewing chinese sites / fonts with firefox
Hi, I have manged to get firefox working well with Solaris, all the plugins etc working nicely, java, flash and real.
However when I view (or rather my wife) a chinese news site the fonts are not all correct
http://www.singpao.com/
The site is all okay when using mozilla, (on the same system and user) what can I do to correct this? I have no idea where to start looking.
Oh yes, and while I am at it, is there a "rsync" for Solaris? I use it a lot when I use Linux, it's so simple to get backups done to an external usb drive.
Thanks for any tips.You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

Some of my browser fonts have changed.
Recently, my firefox has been displaying all headings in a weird font. Here is what the font looks like:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/saracmd/diagram1.jpg
And another example of it happening, right in the firefox website (its the blue font)
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/saracmd/Picture4.png
this oddly appears this way on all blog-style webpages I have been on in the last few weeks. Even some news pages!
I have tried going into the options in firefox to see if it was a font option that changed, but it appears to be fine. Here is what my font options look like:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a77/saracmd/Picture3.png
Can someone please help me out? I would really like to have this changed back to normal.You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

Distiller of FrameMaker 9 does not embed specific PS fonts
Hello,
I have had tough time searching for solution to this problem, and now I'm trying on this forum also.
I have a setup of correctly installed FrameMaker 9 (with bundled Distiller) and Adobe Type Basics 65 fonts on a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 system. I print an unstructured FrameMaker book to a file using Adobe's Generic PostScript Printer driver. Among advanced printing options of this printer, I have the following set:
- Graphic -> TrueType Font: Substitute with Device Font
- Document Options -> PostScript Options -> TrueType Font Donwload Option: Outline
These settings produced the desired results on some other system using FrameMaker 7.1 and Distiller (installed with Acrobat Professional 7).
The Distiller cannot embed the following fonts into the PDF file, although they are correctly installed (at least as far as I know):
- Helvetica
- Helvetica-Bold
- Helvetica-BoldOblique
- Times-Roman
I double checked to verify that these PS fonts are installed at the appropriate location (C:\PSFONTS) and links to them are created in C:\Windows\Fonts. I used Adobe Type Manager Light for installation.
Other fonts are embedded without problems, but these are all TrueType fonts.
Now, what I suspect is that Distiller cannot embed PS fonts because of missing font location. Since Distiller in FM9 is a crippled version, it neither includes the menu bar where I could access the menu item Settings -> Font Locations..., nor I can check which font locations it considers for distilling. How can I make Distiller aware of the additional font location (if this is the root cause of the problem I have)? Or is this location added automatically by ATM Light and the root cause is somewhere else?
This is the relevant excerpt from the Distiller log file:
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-BoldOblique not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-Bold not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Times-Roman not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
Many thanks for any sugguestion or hint.
BoštjanHi, Boštjan, a couple of things first.
Please let us know the version of FM9 that you're using, as there have been two patches, 9.0.1 and 9.0.2. Be sure to update both in sequence.
Second, and unfortunately despite it's name sounding otherwise, the Adobe generic PS printer is uncategorically the worst printer driver to be using in FM. If you do some google searches for the name "Dov Isaacs" (Dov is "the" Adobe guru on printer drivers) and "generic printer driver" you might find his postings on the subject -- searching here in the forums might possibly find some content, although the new forum software is <ahem> sort of brain dead right now and searches are not very useful.
Removing all traces of the Generic PS driver is critical to getting your system back to stability with FM and PDFs.
The only printer that you should have as your default system printer is the "Adobe PDF" printer. There is a wonderful freebie utility called SetPrint from http://www.sundorne.com that will set the default within FM itself, as opposed to using the system default.
You might consider removing FM and the Distiller setup, removing the generic printer, rebooting, and reinstalling from scratch so that you have Distiller correctly paired with the printer driver, before gettting into the actual font troubleshooting.

I have set Verdana as my display font in all circumstances and always have done with all versions of Firefox. But in this version, on CERTAIN text (e.g. on Google searches, all text beneath the link), the font displays in some 'comic' style font that is near completely illegible.
Certain parts of the webpages are fine and do display in verdana, but not sure why as there are 3 settings for fonts in preferences, serif, sans serif and monospace, but it could have nothing to do with these as they are all set to Verdana as is the default.You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:
