Fonts Changing between DW, Safari & FireFox???

So I am experimenting with my new web layout and I have it looking pretty much exactly how I want it in DreamWeaver CS4, but when I preview the page in Safari or FireFox each one changes the font into something different. The font should be Alternate Gothic LT No3 which is what I am using in DW and how it looks in DW and how I built the title block in PS. It reverts to arial in Safari and some sort of Time Roman in FireFox. I have looked through each line of html and cannot figure this one out. Why is this happening?
Here is one of the pages I am having trouble with.

Why is this happening?
Because whatever font you specify in your web page must be installed on your visitor's computer. If not, and you don't specify an alternative font, the browser reverts to its pre-programmed default font which varies browser by browser.
Alternate Gothic LT No3 is unlikely to be an available font on many computers so those without it won't see it.
What to do?
1) Put your font into an image and insert the image on the page - bad idea for many reasons including download times and search engine visibility.
2) Try a font substitution method: http://thinkclay.com/technology/cufon-sifr-flir
3) Specify alternative fonts for those who don't have your Alternate Gothic LT No3
.style1 {font-family: "Alternate Gothic LT No3", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; }
PS There is no text on http://www.kellendengler.com/10-30-09.html, only images, so the problem is not showing up there.

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
Filter: gfx
Others to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
*Anti-Aliasing Tuner: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/

Font changes between 4.5 & 2008

Hi.
I just upgraded to 2008. When I load my file the fonts appear different. When I dig into the details, the text in both versions is set to Verdana 10. In 4.5 the text is easily visible on the screen. In 2008 I can barely see it. What's going on?
Additionally, if I change the font in 2008 to 11 then run the preview, I see no discernible change in the font size.
It also appears that the spacing between lines has increased in 2008 so some fields look like they are now double spaced compared to what I saw in 4.5. But curiously enough, it's not all fields that are affected by this.
Will I have to redesign every model that I've built in 4.5 to get it to look appropriate in 2008? Please tell me there's an easier way to do this.
Thanks,
Janice

When I dig into the details, the text in both versions is set to Verdana 10. In 4.5 the text is easily visible on the screen. In 2008 I can barely see it.
I have both programs, also. On my machine, the text is approximately the same size in both. The 4.5 text seems to be thicker/bolded by default (bold in 4.5 is even more thick). 2008 seems to be using system fonts, whereas 4.5 seems to be using custom fonts.
<br>Additionally, if I change the font in 2008 to 11 then run the preview, I see no discernible change in the font size.
I tried that and saw a definite discernible difference. I could visually see the font increasing in pixel height. In preview, side by side, the 10 font was noticeably smaller than the 11. Fonts sometimes appear differently on different machines/screens, though.
<br>It also appears that the spacing between lines has increased in 2008 so some fields look like they are now double spaced compared to what I saw in 4.5. But curiously enough, it's not all fields that are affected by this.
I'm guessing you're using text components, like Labels? If so, this is a known bug. If you enter preview/swf runtime, you'll see that the double spacing disappears. The double spaces are only applied on the design canvas.

Font changes in IE vs Firefox

My question concerns
http://www.kelliandchristian.com/stories.html
I have the css set to font verdana, small caps, lower case 12
px. It views properly in IE but not in firefox. Is there a fix for
this?
Thank you!

All caps and Lower case are mutually exclusive. Do you mean
SMALL CAPS?

Fonts change between preview and full view.

Hello. I'm running into an issue where a font appears differently between iBooks Author and my iPad. I'm using Impact 96pt, and it shows up properly on my iMac and in the mini-preview screens on my iPad, but when I open the page to full view on my iPad, it switches to Arial 96pt. The only other place this font appears in the iBook is in the TOC when in portrait view. Everything else is formatted to styles I custom created. Any ideas on how to fix this style/formatting bug? And/or any ideas on how to change the font style of the portrait TOC?

K T, thanks for taking a look. That's the weird thing. Impact does show up on my font list, iBA lets me use it in creating styles, and Impact font text appears properly on the iBook's cover. For now I'll just drop in this text as an image, but any ideas on how to keep it as a proper font would be greatly appreciated.

Text font changes between iphone and Outlook?

Make a simple correction/addition in the text field of a Contact or Appointment on the iPhone. For example, add the word TEXT at the of the text body page. The change displays on the iPhone in the same font, point, color and spacing as that of the existing text below the newly added test word.
However, once synced through the Exchange mail server (and on the server the TEXT sample remains the same as that of the other text) and back to the desktop MS Outlook, the font, point, color changes. What was Calibri Body, pt 11, color black on the phone, is now an off blue, Calibri 13 header on the desktop Outlook form.
What is controlling this change? Naturally, I want the font/point/color to remain the same?
Btw, on the Contact text and Appointment text that I made the 1 change, In outlook—in addition to that specific word—2 or 3 of the existing lines that I did not touch on the iPhone were also changed to blue, Calibri 13 header?

Resolved.

Report font changes between test and production

using developer 6i server on solaris 64 bit environment.
we have vnc configured on both machines. when we migrate a report from
the test machine to the production environment, the font specifications
are different in the html output. what should we look at to determine the cause?
the printers are set up the same on each machine, VNC is the same. anything else?
thanks
Jim

NLS_LANG setting is the same. uifont.ali files are the same.
the difference is primarily that some fonts are bold and a larger scale in production environment versus the test environment. we did a basic 9iAS install on each machine, so I don't think anything is different.
are there any environment variables that I should check for the user account that runs the forms and reports servers?
Jim

Font change in Safari and Firefox after installing Snow Leopard...

My apologies if this has been addressed:
Immediately after updating from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2 the fonts displayed in both Safari and Firefox have changed. They are now a barely-legible "handwritten" font. I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail. The issue only seems to be present with Safari and Firefox- there are no applications (that I have noticed yet*) that are affected. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, NYeBeing & welcome to discussions
I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail.
What steps have you taken, exactly, so we don't repeat, etc. I'll assume you've already used OS X's FontBook to check font health & remove dupes, and you've cleared existing font caches using Snow Leopard compatible tools such as QnyX or FontDoctor.
What languages are enabled?

Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

You can't in Safari.
However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
(note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

Color changes between Safari 3x and 4x

Does anyone have any info about color handling changes in 4.0.2?
I have a friend who upgraded from Safari 3x to Safari 4.0.2 and now the color is off on all her web pages. All the color on all parts of the page are desaturated. It certainly looks like a color profile problem but I can't seem to find any info about what might have changed between Safari 3x and 4.0.2.
I put an old copy of Safari on her machine, it is 2.0.4, and the colors are completely normal in it.
The machine in question is a macbook running 10.4.11.
Thank you.

I have the same problem!!
Apple has apparently decided that unless a color profile is assigned, it will make images in its new browser look like garbage. Meanwhile they still look great on Firefox.
I'm an artist and this is terrible. It means that to please Apple, I need to go resave and reupload all my images with an sRGB profile assigned.
In Firefox, the images look identical to how they were saved originally in Photoshop, without a profile. Yet they look washed out and terrible in Safari.
Gee, thanks Apple!!

Bangla font is not seen appropriately in firefox, but bangla font is seen in safari

In my computer Bangla font is not seen appropriately in firefox, but bangla font is seen in safari. It is also noted that bangla font is available in my computer.

I get a 500 error and the source code (right-click "View source code") show an incomplete HTML code.
I've tried Firefox and wget (a command line tool to retrieve web pages and files). Both lead to 500 server error.
For some reason, Chrome doesn't shows any error, but it seems that there's some configuration in your web server or in Wordpress.

I just changed over from Safari, and Firefox is incredibly slow! Are there ways to fix this?

It's taking 30 to 60 seconds for Firefox to open any page. I just changed over from Safari, and this is about 10 times slower than Safari. Are there ways to speed up opening pages? I can't keep Firefox as my browser if it continues to be this slow. I have a Mac Mini, with Mac OS X as my operating system.

You can try to disable IPv6.

Font changes when pasting between InDesign documents

I'm copying and pasting the content of one InDesign CS5 document into another and am finding that the font of my general body text is changing from Times to Minion Pro.
This occurs with all the following methods:
Copy and Paste multiple text frames
Copy and Paste single text frames
Copy and Paste content of a text frame into a new text frame
Drag and Dropping multiple text frames
I can't see any option in Preferences or Character pallette along the lines of 'Paste Remembers Fonts' (in the same vein as 'Paste Remembers Layers'.
I've change the default font in my existing documents to Times and also changed it with no documents open so all new documents have Times as the default.
I've also changed the Basic Paragraph style font to Times.
The correct paragraph styles already exist in both documents and remain in place when I copy and paste. Fonts for all other paragraph styles (eg headings etc) come across correctly, it's only my main body text that changes, with the font of the style showing as overidden.
Of course, I can simply select all the pasted text and clear the overides but I'd rather solve the problem properly.
One glimmer of hope: If I start another new document since changing the default font for new docs, the copy and paste retains my Times font.
Any thoughts? Can I fix my existing document's bad habit or will I need to start again?

When I paste the text frames, the paragraph styles remain intact but the font changes to the ID default, Minion Pro. When I click the Clear Overides button, the font reverts to the correct font for the style. There are no Character Style issues that are causing this, it seems purely related to the default font setting.
However, I've found a nice simple solution that I should've tried in the first place. Now that I've set the defaults to what I want them to be and tested this with a new document (as mentioned in original post), it was simply a matter of doing a Save As to get those changes to apply to my existing document.
Thanks for the input everyone.

The top bar changed when I downloaded firefox 5.o how do I get it to look like the old style? It also makes all my pages really zoomed out so I have to zoom in to see them.

The new menu bar is all boxy looking and I want the old style back that looked like this http://images.six.betanews.com/screenshots/1100800989-1.png
Also every time I visit a new page it makes it really small so that I have to zoom in to see it which is annoying because before I downloaded 5.0 it was fine.
My computer is a toshiba laptop and I am using windows vista.

Your original had tabs on top, the current one does not. Also I note a dark background, is that some none default theme or persona, or a side effect of system display changes ?
I have noted others comment about pages needing zooming, no idea why that happens on some sytems, possibly something to do with the font changes.
I do not notice much difference between versions screenshot attached Firefox 4 and Firefox 6.0a2 open adjacent to each other.
