Then the fonts themselves may be damaged. Helvetica is the font used in the image you linked to.
A quick way to replace them is to open the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder and delete the fonts Helvetica.dfont and HelveticaNeue.dfont. You'll need to enter your admin password to delete them.
You'll get a warning about the fonts being removed. The OS then replaces them with copies from another location on the drive. Restart and see if it changes anything.

Has Mozilla changed the way Firefox displays @font-face enbeded fonts? The site I'm codeing works in Safari, Chrome, and IE, but Firefox 8.0.1 doesn't display the embeded font.

Safari, Firefox or Chrome are always crashing + kernel panics

Hello everyone,
I come back (again) to you because i'm having problems with my MacBook Pro.
Few days ago my computer starting to sound an alarm... I was forced to shut it down manually.
But now, I can't even browse the internet -> Safari, Chrome or Firefox are always crashing (the report in console mentions something about WebProcess but I can't figure how to fix it). This thing happens every 2 minutes when browsing...
Also, when looking at console I saw that I had lots of reports concerning mds_DATE_USER.crash
The Macbook Pro is also sometime restarting himself & i get the y message in grey in all languages "Your comp. restarted because... blablabla" -> Console says Kernel Panic...
Do you have any idea on idea on this problems (maybe related ?)
Thanks a lot !

Hello Linc,
I do not know what are "shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports." ? So I supposed you asked me to send the kernel panic report and not "mds_ .crash" "report_ .crash" or "web process_ .crash"...

Images Viewable in Firefox But Not In Explorer, Safari, Chrome.

I have a coldfusion page with images. The images are called up dynamically from my Mysql database. The image field with my database has the datatype "char(100)". All that is stored in that database field is the file path to the folder of which the image is stored which is: \photos\RSL\1.jpg.
On my webpage, the image placeholder looks like this:
<a href="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#"><img src="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#" alt="" name="1" width="98" height="73" /></a>
This images display just fine on Firefox, But Not In Explorer, Safari, & Chrome. These latter three just show a broken image. Could there be something wrong with either my coldfuson or Mysql file path where each of the letter three browsers are trying to access?
I'm running Coldfusion 9 on my local machine, using OS Window 7 Professional.

When I hard coded the file path it worked. I checked the source code and saw no white space. I even went to each browser's options dialog box to make sure that the show image options were checked. It may be my coding. In my image folder there are categories of other folders within folders that have images of which Coldfusion calls up whenever the browser needs it. Could that be the problem? Should I have all of my 300 images in one folder?

Safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4, apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success

safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4, apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success

There are several threads about this problem, most notably one called 'Invalid Certificates' is over 4 pages long. Many of us have experienced difficulty connecting to banking and other secure sites. On my Macbook Pro, I cannot get to my banking site with any browser, however I can get there on my iMac using Safari, but get the 'Invalid Certificate' notice with FF and Chrome. The problem started after the installation of 10.7.4. I have sent a message to Apple--they will be dismayed to hear that I cannot complete an order at their online store!

Any time I open Safari i get a popup for myvdrive? why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off.

why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off. Also it pops up any time that I click anywhere to do anything in safari. Please help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How to make the fonts in Firefox sharper so there more like the fonts in Google Chrome?

I'm currently in the process of moving from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are allot more smoother then what they are in Google Chrome, is there anyway to make the Firefox fonts look as sharp as what the fonts are in Google Chrome?

This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: '''[[Fonts look blurry]]'''
There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the [http://www.firefox.com/channel Aurora channel]. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)
If you're interested in the technical details, [https://blog.mozilla.com/nattokirai/2011/08/11/directwrite-text-rendering-in-firefox-6/ this article] has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.

Garbage fonts in Safari

I've read through the previous posts on this subject, but none of the solutions seem to work in my case. In Safari, some of the webpages or parts of the webpages come up with garbage text. I've taken a screen shot of one particular site, but I'm not able to attach it here. All of the system fonts are in order in System/Library Fonts. There are also fonts in Library/Fonts and in User/Admin/Library/Fonts. Of course some of the applications also have their own font folders, too.
I thought the problem was with Helvetica, but I've turned off all but the dfont in the System/Library/Fonts folder.
I've been struggling with this problem off and on for a couple of years. I'm losing patience! Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Eam1,
Welcome to  Discussions.
Two years is a long time to deal with this text/font issue!
Helvetica Fractions & Times Phonetic are best removed.
How do the fonts in Safari display in an other user or test account?
Consider testing Safari in an other account, if you do not have another account, create a test account
Under the Blue Apple ->System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options, click on the padlock to unlock secure items, use the [+] to add an account,
you could enter test in all the fields, short name will be generated for you.
In Log in Options you can check the Enable fast user switching, alternately
Log Out from your account, & into the test account that you created.
This can help us determine if this is a system wide issue or isolated to your user name account.
Read Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X see the required fonts to be used for Safari & this Font Finagler can find any corrupt fonts you may have.
I hope you get it sorted, keep us posted.

Dynamic Fonts in Safari

Is there any way I can make safari work to display dynamic fonts? there are few regional newspaper websites that use such fonts and safari is not displaying the contents of those websites properly....for example:
www.anandabazar.com
Any help on this would be very much appreciated...
Regards,
Rudra

How would I confirm what font the website
is using?
I gave you the name. I found it by doing View > Page Source.
Where do I download the font from?
I did a search but could not find it anywhere for download. You could email the site and ask them. It might be that some other non-Unicode Bengali font would work. Sorry I don't have time right now to download them a try them out.
I suspect this particular site may be a hopeless case.
Dynamic fonts are an old, essentially Windows-only technology used mainly by some Asian sites which do not have the knowledge or technology to shift to Unicode, where everyone with any kind of computer can easily download the fonts being used, for example from:
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Bengali.html

Crazy fonts in Safari

I just recently installed Office:mac 2008 for my iMac and the next time I opened up Safari, my fonts went ballistic on some pages (i.e. Google, Yahoo). When I say "ballistic," I mean numbers/letters typed over by other numbers/letters and other characters are thrown into words. The fonts on other pages are fine. Any thoughts?

Mac.Shambles,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do you have any duplicate fonts?
;~)

Some fonts in Safari not working

After updating to Safari 3.1, I noticed that some fonts in Safari now display as Helvetica fractions. However, when I use Firefox to view the same Web page, they display fine. I am using Suitcase Fusion 12.1.6 and manage Local Fonts. Some of the local fonts do not appear in the preview pane and say they are missing. I have located them and tried to add them (repaired first, all fonts do not need repair) but Suitcase will crash each time I locate the font.
Also, I noticed in Firefox that it is using the same fonts for the default set as Safari. Times & Courier. Yet these fonts aren't missing in Suitcase, so I am not sure what is happening here.

I am using Suitcase Fusion 12.1.6
12.1.7 is the current version. You should probably update.
but Suitcase will crash each time I locate the font.
Either the font is bad, or Suitcase's database is bad. That it tells you local fonts are missing points more towards a problem with Suitcase.
To reset Suitcase, close the application. It will give you a minor warning about available fonts. Click Quit. If you are NOT using Suitcase's vault, in your user account, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Extensis/Suitcase/ and delete the file:
Suitcase Font Database.suitcasevault
In the Preferences folder of your user account, delete the file:
com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion.plist
Relaunch Suitcase. You will need to reset any preferences in the program that you have changed from the defaults. You will also lose any sets you've created.
If you ARE using the vault, following the above steps will cause you to lose all fonts you've added to the vault. If you have backups of all of your fonts, this is no big deal. Otherwise, be forewarned that they will be gone. What you can do is move the database file to the desktop. Then if the problem with Suitcase continues, you've likely eliminated its database as the problem. Then you can quit the app again and move your original database back into the ~/Library/Application Support/Extensis/Suitcase/ folder.
please tell me if I nuke my font caches, how will it affect Suitcase Fusion.
It won't do anything to Suitcase. It doesn't even create them. For the most part, OS X builds your font cache files. If you remove them, the OS will rebuild them when you restart.

How to install new font on safari for windows??

i have problem when i go to certain international sites.. for eg: http://www.deepika.com/
in the help section the site provides the required font mlkr0ntt_TTF.ttf
no luck just wont work..

I have requested the website deepika.com, for their input on the issue.. Would love to see if a unicode font would solve the issue on Safari. The very reason I brought up this issue in this forum was to get a solution. Its not that I am unable to view the website in Internet explorer and Firefox.. I love using Safari and want to make it as my default browser, but issues like these prevent me from doing so now. When I started using Firefox, i remember facing similar issues.. and then came a Firefox Add-on developed by PCMan (Hong Jen Yee), yuoo2k from Taiwan, called IE tab (http://ietab.mozdev.org/) I was thrilled to be able to even run the Windows Update from a Firefox browser.
Safari Developers are you taking notes..??
Friends, I expect to watch Apple come out with an AD similar to the 'Get a mac - Refree' http://www.apple.com/getamac/ in future when comparing with IE and Firefox.

Every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
Every voice helps

Distorted font in safari webpages

all of a sudden, whenever i go on safari, the font becomes distorted. usually when i browse through the web, the text are usually black and a bit darker, however, recently the text seems to become lighter and sometimes it gets annoy. can someone please help me with this problem? i did not download any new fonts or anything as well.

i tried the link you gave me, validate the fonts and fix the duplicate. but the font still looks a bit faded and distorted. here's an example:
i screenshot the before and after picture.
BEFORE

AFTER
http://i53.tinypic.com/2exwtxk.png
If you compare it, the texting or font in safari seems to fade its color.
can you tell me what seems to be the problem? is it the resolution or screen problem? or maybe its a bug in safari?

Fonts in Safari & Chrome are outlined
