Fonts in some websites wont render

I got the interface fonts to render, and they seem to work fine, but some (a lot) of websites text wont render at all. The problem seems to be in the way it handles CSS, that if a font listed in font-family is not installed on the system, it just wont render the text, instead of skipping ahead to the next font, or falling back on the default.
I found on my site if i set the font to something on the system, it will render.
Anyone else had any similar problems?

Sounds like the same problem I was having - a possible solution can be found in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=993285&tstart=0

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!

After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!
take for example facebook & ebay, the fonts have changed to a distorted block type font, very un-readable, Only after I installed adobe CC, this took place...
I am using google chrome
Can any one help me?
I have tried to fix it by tinkering with some settings in google chrome but had no luck!
here is a screenshot of the problem:

Unless a web page uses a “web font” that it supplies itself, web pages typically provide a list of fonts, in priority order, of fonts to be used to render text. Typically, this list of fonts represents “system fonts” of MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android - fonts that can be counted on being installed. Helvetica Neue is a MacOS system font that is not typically found on Windows systems. And even if a user licenses recent versions of Helvetica Neue OpenType fonts and installs same on Windows systems, they are in the “Helvetica Neue Std” family which would not match “Helvetica Neue” which is native to MacOS. Thus, I suspect that the Helvetica Neue you have installed on Windows is an older font offering.
There are three issues here:
The first is that web pages provide a priority list for font usage. I suspect that the web pages you are seeing Helvetica Neue actually used on your system are requesting fonts in the order of Helvetica Neue and then Arial. The typical MacOS system would display the content with Helvetica Neue and the typical Windows system would display the content with Arial. Since you have Helvetica Neue on your system, you are getting rendering similar to what a MacOS system would have.
The second issue is that there is no way to force a web page to reverse the order of priority of the fonts it lists.
And finally, the third issue is that there is no way to hide a font selectively by application.
The only way you can avoid Helvetica Neue being used on web pages preferring Helvetica Neue to let's say Arial or any other font on its list for particular text rendering is to uninstall Helvetica Neue.
That having been said, other than perhaps personal type design preferences, are there any other issues with regards to use of Helvetica Neue for display of these web pages?

Some websites wont stream videos others will

Since buying a new computer, I have had perpetual issues with flash running correctly. I have always been a fan of chrome and naturally that has been my primary browser for the life of this computer....at some point in time, the flash (either after being updated/or @ some point) quit streaming videos on certain websites....(showtime anytime, and divx movies from places like movie-forumz being the most important.) At first, after doing some research on the web, I was led to believe this was a chrome issue and tried to do the workaround of disabling either the pepper flash or the adobe flash in the plugins section of chrome....this did nothing for me. I even posted a question on the chrome forums to see if there was any way they could maybe lead me in the right direction. Well, they gave me some generic things to try (most of which I had already done) and were not a huge help. Since then, I've tried completely uninstalling/removing/reinstalling everything from chrome/shockwave player/flash player/frirefox etc. but to no avail. Recently, since I thought this was not going to get fixed in chrome, I thought I would try to stream videos from internet explorer. After making sure everything was set up (since, I had never used it) I came across the same problem....the same videos will not play in internet explorer as well. This is what lead me here. Thanks in advance......(I hope.) I have a fairly new computer. Specs below:

Since this is also happening with IE, I'm not sure a Chromium bug is relevant. While you might suspect Flash is to blame, but it's also possible other issues are at play (network throttling, server code, third party utilities/services, etc.)
Taking a look at the locations you've outlined on the Chrome bug:
www.showtimeanytime.com (loads, but will not play video, also does not show the length of the video as if it never actually began to load)
I just tried this with Chrome 25.0.1364.172 m on Windows 8. I had to install the Widevine Media Optimizer to get video to play. Have you done this? Have you tried contacting Widevine to see if they have any advice? Once I installed this and restarted the browser I had no problems playing from Showtime. I haven't seen any recent posts about Showtime, so I suspect this isn't a widespread issue.
http://www.putlocker.com/file/DC54509DC05BAC99# (never actually plays, just continually looks like it buffers) any video on
This link was broken and I can't seem to find another putlocker video link. However, have you tried reaching out to putlocker to see if they have any ideas? Given that this appears to be a fairly popular filesharing site, I would imagine we'd see a lot of complaints if Flash was not working properly here. To date, I've never seen any reports on this forum.
www.xvideos.com (hangs @1% until video is fully downloaded, then plays.)
I'm blocked from viewing this site. It's possible that this site doesn't allow streaming and instead requires the entire video to be downloaded before playing. Again, you should contact them to see what the proper experience should be.

Some websites wont cache

I have browser.cache.check_doc_frequency set to 2 but some webpages simply will not cache. Is there a way to force this? Memory use is not an issue

Thanks for that useful information.
I installed a version of that script (just removed the if url check so it applies to every site). It works for some sites, not others (like this one).
There definitely needs to be a setting added to firefox to override the pageshow/pagehide event hijacking user control over caching. I shudder to think how many billions of unnecessary packets are sent every day and how much time and bandwidth is wasted reloading information that is exactly the same and already sitting on your computer [Idiocracy].

Some websites wont refresh.

While watching football on Sundays, i have noticed the scores/game clock is way behind then whats on the tv.(page wont refresh). My fantasy football pages all run on adobe flash, which i can not download. Any help please.

Or you can describe your solution, so others with a similar problem can benefit.

Suddenly Safari can't render some websites properly.

Suddenly, Safari started to act wierd yesterday. Some websites don't render properly and the formatting is very bad. The problem is Safari, since I have no problems when using Firefox. Here's some pictures:
The websites shown are facebook, Lynapp (photo viewer application) and time for TV (danish online TV guide). To me is seems that elements in the background are misplaced and somehow the font for commenting stuff on facebook is changed to curier or some random mono-spaced font. That's only on my side of course. Also, certain elements on a simple bulletinboard-style forum is highlighted with a clear green color like this:
(Don't mind the red & white boxes, it's the green stuff I mean).
Could it be some problem with CSS or HTML5?
I have tried to disabling WebGL, clearing the cache and doing a complete reinstall of safari but neither of it worked. I don't want to go back to using Firefox because I really like Safari with the awesome iOS integration.
Any ideas?

Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

Some website's fonts are defective

Some website's fonts look like characters with a black border and white or empty interior. This is practically illegible and happens to lots of websites. Everything looks like "HelvNueOutline" font. I have screen shots if necessary. Thanks.

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).

Fonts are wrong on some websites, not others

Since upgrading to the RC1 FF4 (previous beta's didn't have this issue), some websites have a default font problem. My UI is fine, just some websites. I'm currently scanning my system for corrupt files but attached you will see a screenshot of the problem i'm having. Mainly digg.com is affected, but I have found a few other sites as well.

You can start with the Helvetica font that is used on Digg:
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;

Wont load media on some websites

pictures dont seem to load on some websites. Only started recently. have tried most the basic stuff. internet radio station (address below) doesnt play. some sites are fine. Videos play ok. no problem on other computers.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Some websites display in a very basic format in Mozilla, but are fine in Explorer. This is a recent problem. How can I fix this?

Recently Mozilla is having problems displaying some websites. Previously these website displayed fine, and in Internet Explorer they still displays them fine.
For example. http://www.yr.no/ displays few graphics, and all the text is in times new roman font. The size of the font varies and things are bulleted. Links appear blue and underlined, and the rest of the text is black. The sites are now very plain and have none of their previous detail. How can I fix this?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I've noticed that since version 7.0 (and in 8.0) FF is either hijacking on incorrectly displaying fonts on some sites, regardless of what is defined in the site's CSS.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
