Fonts are still bolder in Mac version only

I've searched like crazy online, found this happening for some throughout many different versions, but still find no solution.
On the latest version (v23) and a few previous now, we're seeing fonts which are more bold than on any other browser. This includes text and our font icons.
Strangely, and beyond us, we have one guy here on the same FF and OSX versions who does not have this problem. We can't figure out why.
FF on Win does not have this problem.

The hardware acceleration feature can affect font weight. If you toggle it off, does that have any effect?
Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You generally need to restart Firefox for this change to take effect.

Also improving [Embed] so that it can recognize .TTC files as assets (previously these were only recognized through CSS @font-face rules).
QE: Yes, please add a test case for using [Embed] to embed fonts from a TTC file in addition to our tests for @font-face. Note that the AFEFontManager must be configured for this scenario.

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

When did this deletion happen? Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer. With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).

Email aliases are still there... Only in the ipad!

Hello!
I have succesfully deleted old aliases from my MAIL app and my iphone, but there are still in the ipad and I can't seem to be able to get rid of them.
Can anybody help, please?

They can only be saved in one email folder. If you select the account on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and on the next screen tap on the email account id at the top of it :
Then tap Advanced at the bottom of the popup, and then Sent Mailbox :
You should then be able to select which folder the emails sent from that account on your iPad are saved in (the folder that you select should get a tick against it) e.g

Screen has little boxes all over, uninstalled and reinstalled but boxes are still there. This is only program with this problem.

When I opened Firefox this A.M the screen came up with little boxes, in columns, covering the whole screen. Four of the columns are colored in like a cash register tape that is running out of paper. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with no change. This is the only program on this computer that this is happening with. Please advise.
Thank you,
Phil

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).
*fontinfo: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fontinfo/
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

It seems both versions of Pages are still on my Mac.

When I go to do something on my Mac I often get a message such as , "You need a newer version of Pages to proceed. Go online to Apple.com to purchase." I've already purchased it and upgraded, but both the old icon (an Ink well) and the new Icon (a page with a sunset and a pen) are on my dock. When I open my applications folder, only the new one shows up. When I do a search of "Pages", I get both apps. The new one is in "Applications". The old one has a subtitle iWork '09. Any idea of how to set this straight?

There is nothing wrong, the iWork 09 applications have been saved in a folder called iWork 09 in the Applications folder when you downloaded the new version, Pages 5.
Many people are having problems with the new version of Pages and use the old version for editing existing files and using the new version for new files.

I lost my contacts and mail folders on my exchange server but they are still on my MAC. How can I resync?

I run both a MAC and a PC with two different mail clients Entourage vs. Outlook. I have never had a problem with the clients syncing with the Exchange server until I did an archive of all emails in outlook that were older than this year. Now some subfolders have disapeared on the PC and the Exchange server but still show up in Entourage. How can I resync Entourage to the Exchange and have Exchange server "accept" the Entourage folders as correct?
Also I use an Iphone and backup to the icloud. So why did my contacts disapear from the iphone and are not restored via icloud? The missing contacts also disapeared from exchange.
Iphone 4s ver 5.1.1
Exchange 2003
MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.x ( I think - since the finder->about this Mac button doesnt work)
Entourage 12.3.3
Thanks so much.

After upgrading recently I got this message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." The music/video files are still on my MacBook Pro. Is it because I'm still on 10.5.8? How do I fix this?

For your reference I’m using a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Several weeks ago on a Monday I received an upgrade for iTunes. When Tuesday arrived I attempted to log in so that I could download the latest freebie song(s). I was met w/this message: “The file ‘iTunes Library.itl’ cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.”
The music/video files are still on my Mac (I’ve verified that via Searchlight), but I’m unable to open the program. Since I know that 10.5.8 is rapidly becoming prehistoric, could it be that the newest iTunes isn’t compatible w/this particular OS? I’d like to switch up, but understand that the newest OS won’t work on a Mac of this vintage (6 years old). In addition, my Adobe products (all CS2) won’t work w/anything newer than 10.5.8, so I’m reluctant to go to a newer OS (I just can’t afford the Adobe upgrade $$$ @ this point).
Is there any way to get a download of an “old” iTunes version? If there were, I’d simply refuse any future upgrades until my personal economy allows me to stop working as if it were 2006. Please advise, somebody!

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

The Home page fonts are microscopic and my email has reduced fonts since upgrading to this version. I do not see any method to adjust in Help.

Fonts on the home page can not be read because they are so small. when I go to my email the fonts are reduced from the previous version of Firefox. I have looked at all of the help topics and I can not find a resolution to change the fonts to a larger size.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Font issue between PC and Mac. Options?

Hi.
I have been working for several months on a book that I have designed in InDesign. I was using the PC version of InDesign. I just purchased a new Macbook, and I am now beginning with a trial of InDesign for Mac.
As soon as I tried to imported my .indd file into InDesign on my Mac, I encountered an issue with fonts. Most of the fonts that I had used in my design do not work on the Mac version. InDesign gave me the option to 'Change' to comparable fonts. I figured I would try to see how I can adjust the manuscript and make this work. I immediately encountered other issues (for e.g., Minion Pro is a font that I did manage to use with InDesign in Mac, but it would not let me use the Italics version of Minion Pro. It is important that a number of elements in my book be italics, so I need to have a font that offers the distinction (and ideally, would not make me go back in manually and re-italicize everything.)
I spend about an hour or two researching this issue today. It seems there are a few options (including purchasing/downloading fonts and a few different software programs that handle that.) I would just like advice from those who navigated this issue on my best option/s.
Specifically these are the fonts from my original design on my PC that are missing on the Mac version.
Adobe Caslon Pro
Adobe Caston Pro Bold
Adobe Caslon Pro Italic
Adobe Devangari Italic
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro
Adobe Garamond Pro Bold
Adobe Garamond Pro Italic
Constantia
Constantina Italic
Minion Pro Bold Cond
Minion Pro Italic
Palatino Linotype
Palatino Linotype Italic
If there is a free way to obtain these fonts and use them, that would be nice. If I do obtain, or use replacements files that Mac supports, I forsee another issue: I may very well encounter the same issue down the line when I try to open my design on a PC, or if I send to the printer, and they use a PC. What about cross platform fonts that are supported by different system?
Any advice on how to move forward would be appreciated.

The first respondent indicated that when the design is made into a PDF, then the fonts are embedded and visible across platforms. Are there any situations I should be aware of in which this isn't the case? If that statement is true or generally true, that is good news, and will make me feel a lot more OK about this process.
I Googled "fonts that cannot be embedded in pdf" and these are the top 3 results:

FONTS - Works fine in a MAC, requires "substitution" on PC

Dear Folks:
I make stuff in Photoshop CS on Mac. I open it on a PC afterwards and the fonts I've chosen are "substituted" with others by the Windows version of the same software.
How can I get this under control? How can I tell which fonts are happy in both platforms?
Can Font Book help?
Thanks
Raoul

Hi, Raoul.
There's info missing from your question, such as the version of Photoshop you are using on each computer, if your sending .PSD files to the PC, etc. However, assuming you're sending the .PSDs, I suspect the font substitution is occurring because you're using fonts on the Mac that are unavailable on the PC in question. You'd need to either use fonts that are common to both computers, or assure both computers have the identical fonts installed.
Where Font Book can help is that it will tell you what fonts are installed on the Mac in the default font locations employed by Mac OS X: see "Mac OS X: Font Locations and Their Purposes." However, Adobe products also include fonts that they install in their own font-related folders, outside of the default font locations managed by Font Book.
If the above does not help, I suggest you try yuor questions on the Adobe Photoshop Mac Forum, where Photoshop questions are answered.
Good luck!
