Fonts going wonky on web page - sporadic substitutions

Don't find anything that addresses this in a search:
I have some weird things happening since I've moved a site from iWeb 1x to 2x.
One, is that my fonts are being substituted sporadically on SOME of the pages.
This is happening even though they were always good before I moved to iWeb 2.
So I have to suspect something being a problem in iWeb 2.
Its a phenomena I've noticed on machines that possess all the appropriate fonts.
(Otherwise some pages would not be showing up correctly).
Ideas?
Another I noticed today - that only 1 of my 3 web galleries now shows up on the page.

addendum/update:
The site would not come up correctly even after closing & restarting the browser on a G5.
Went to an intel machine - it came up - excepting a different one line of text went generic there.
The page was not that graphic-intensive.
Predominantly using Bradley, Marker Felt as display fonts.
These are the ones with problems.
However, after going to that machine - and then returning to a G5 PPC - now the additional galleries show up.
I doubt its a memory overload. This is a recent phenom.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

No Fonts in UI or Web Pages XP Pro

No Fonts in UI or Web Pages XP Pro, I've tried the plist and resources suggestions no luck.

Several things can cause this, the most common solutions have already been mentioned.
Other things you can try:
Search for the Adobe font list files and delete them, by searching for Adobefnt*.lst. The files have names like Adobefnt08.lst, Adobefnt10.lst, etc.
Delete the Adobe shared fonts and reinstall Illustrator, by removing the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder.
Troubleshoot the installed fonts by removing all the fonts from C:\Windows\Fonts other than the one installed by XP to another folder outside the Windows folder, and restarting. See http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=326402 for a list of font NOT to remove.

I am using my first apple product, mac book pro. somehow i FIGURED OUT HOW TO INCREASE THE FONT FOR SEARCHES AND WEB PAGES, BUT THE FONT IS TOO BIG AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN NOT FIND WHERE TO GET THE SCREEN BACK TO NORMAL, HELP ANYONE?

I am new to Apple, somehow I figured out how to make font of Web pages bigger, but it is too big and I can't use sites properly. for the life of me I can not how to get my font size reduced. Help anyone? thank you, sbb

Probably command-minus will do the trick.

After my software was updated, all fonts were minimized. Web pages condensed and not filling the entire screen. Can anyone help me?

After a software update, all fonts were minimized especially on the tool bars. I cannot restore them to original size. Web pages were also minimized and do not fill entire screen. Any suggestions?

Try resetting your PRAM/NVRAM,

Despite full web support, by default my browser goes to mobile web pages

for example, mlb.com. it sends me straight to the scaled down mobile web page for MLB.com.
Is there a way to prevent this?

That website, like Apple does on theirs, is keying off the word "iPhone" in the Safari web browser User Agent header.
They're obviously worried about the amount of data and the user experience, but you should write them and ask for a link that won't drop into the small version.
Or it's possible that there's a free web proxy out there that strips that header (or allows you to pretend to be IE or Firefox or something). Search on "web proxy service".

Toolbar fonts way too small web pages way too big

Upgraded to FF23 which I freaking hate FF since 18 but don't have choice for my security. Font on toolbar is about 6px and webpages are about 300% of what is normal by looking at other pages. I know I know I've heard about going to the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in about:config but this only serves to reduce the font size on toolbar to about 2px. I have my settings on my machine set to 113% font size adjust but changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx default setting does nothing but make webpages 300% enlarged and font size on toolbar almost okay.
I already have enough addons and why should I need to add two more just to see a webpage at its regular design size. An image that is 43x43px is showing up at 55x55px. The exact webpages look perfectly normal in all other browsers. So in spite of my support for FF projects I guess I will be leaving since users are not considered valuable.

cor-el: Thank you very much for your reply but I do not know what the Context Menu is or where to find it. I'd appreciate some further help. Thanks

How do I increase the font size on the web page?

The font on Safari page is too small for me. I have tried and could not get it adjusted as in Macbook. Any one who can help? For zooming doesn't resolve the problem.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced
and check the box marked Never use font sizes smaller than...
Caution: This setting may cause unexpected results with some pages.

Fonts jumbled on certain web pages

On certain sites, the font overlaps certain elements of the page.

This happens in both chrome and firefox.
Could this be a bug with the acceleration method used by xf86-video-intel? I recall Pacman saying that I could change the acceleration method from 'sna' back to 'uxa', but didn't see any reason to do that.

No, it's not a bug. I think you are just missing some "exotic" fonts. I believe the second example is from WolframAlpha, my browser has the same problem there. I don't want to say that, but you could solve this problem by installing some MS fonts.
You can look here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1161110 or here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MS_Fonts

The font size on a web page is now so small I can't read it.Ok with IE

Without warning I am unable to read articles on Gary Bagnall's blog. I do not have any problem though when using Internet Explorer. I have gone to Tools, Options, Content and the font shows as Times New Roman size 16

Right Click / Settings going to new Web Page

Something weird has started happening on my machine and I'm
hoping someone can point me to a solution.
In a Flash Comm Server video Chat application, when you right
click and select Settings to set your cam/mic etc. My machine is
now rerouting to one of my bookmarks, specifically a Bank of
America website. It doesn't open the settings menu any longer.
Anyone else seen this?

HI Tora bisu,
Thank you for your question! Have you tried Safe Mode to check if it caused by an add on?
If it is hanging there are also these troubleshooting steps: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
Thank you!

How to change font size on web page when have no icon in View tool to do so

menu bar at top of screen does not have icon to change font size of a web page as described in your support information--you show it as between stop and reload in View icon and I do not have it at all in my toolbar.

When I print a web page, the font size is always the default (which is good for screen reading, but too big for printing), even when I use Text Zoom to make it smaller.

How can I change the font size when printing web pages?

When you zoom in, it is like using a magnifying glass - the underlying image remains unchanged, as you have found out.
You may be able to enlarge the bird to some extent without distortion and without pixilation by resampling.
Go image menu>resize>image size. Be sure that "constrain proportions " is checked in the dialog.

When converting a web page to PDF, how to ensure font size matches

How can I make sure that the font size in the web page is the same as the font size in the PDF?

I created the file in Acrobat directly. When I tried to create it directly from the Chrome browser, this particular web site resulted in messy overlapping text. Creating the file in Acrobat the result was much cleaner, except that the font was changed. It is quite possible that my Arial is different from the Arial on the web page.
Just now I tried creating the PDF directly in Internet Explorer and in Firefox. There wasn't any overlapping text, but in both cases the font still changed to Times New Roman instead of Arial.

When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox crashed

You can try this.
In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
Double click on true to toggle it to false.
Exit the page.
Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.
