Fonts messed up

Hi,
I believe a recent Windows update has screwed up the fonts on my laptop. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium. Can you advise?

Hi,
See this thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_update/when-will-security-update-3013455-be-fixed-for/9599a913-4456-45d1-9ac0-5c406116d308
I've used the second update mentioned (for WS2003, but if one works all should theoretically work), but use caution.
If you have further questions, I suggest posting them here:
Windows forums on Microsoft Answers
Good luck.

  • System fonts messed up,

    After installing some fonts bought online, applications like Flash, Dreamweaver, Internet browser such as Safari, Camino, IE and others has it fonts messed up.
    Now when I browse the web or even search on Google, all the fonts messed up to some sort of destroyed. Please help !!! I tried to change the fonts from Safari Preferences and others; however, the problem still persist.
    PLEASE HELP !!!!
    Thank you very much.

    It took me a while to figure out what was the font name because it was downloaded from a list of "top 25 fonts for designer". And of course, it was free so... thank you for the help.

  • Fonts messing up on non-english windows

    I'm using Director 10.1 and Flash 8 Xtra for a 5 language
    DVD-ROM, English, Spanish,French, German and Italian. The etxt is
    stored in Director code and sent to several Flash 8 movies to
    display them
    Got results from my testing house today to say certain
    characters not appearing when Spanish and Simplified Chinesse set
    as OS Language on Win XP SP2. Both my flash movies and Director
    text fields display ? instead of the relevant character. Sometimes
    the character has an accent above it othertimes just a regular
    letter like e or g. I am using embed fonts in both Director and
    Flash. Avenir LT 85 Heavy seems to generate these ? and on some
    screens in Director using regular text members the layout messes
    (words apearing one character at a time on a line) when I use
    Avenir 45 Book.
    Now on my UK PC all 5 languages display fine, it's just on
    these test machines.
    Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Shouldn't be an issue if the font is embedded. The only thing
    I can think
    of is make sure that you're using the embedded version of the
    font for every
    text/field object. (There should be an * next to the font
    name.) Also, is
    this text set by the program? Or is it entered by the user?
    If it's
    user-entered text, a non-English keyboard may be inputting
    foreign
    characters which your embedded font may not support.
    (Particularly the
    Chinese one.) If it's necessary for the foreign-language user
    to input
    text, you may have to make some sort of conversion code to
    make sure that
    it's fully compatible.
    I really hope that Adobe can do what Macromedia never would
    and put Unicode
    support into the next version of Director. Most problems like
    this would go
    away if they did that.

  • Safari fonts messed up

    My sister's computer has really messed up fonts in Safari. It's sort of looks like the marker felt font. And the preferences are set to normal fonts but this font still appears.
    -Thanks

    . It's sort of looks like the marker felt font. And the preferences are set to normal fonts but this font still appears.
    The preferences do not override the fonts specified by the code of the pages you view. You need to get rid of the marker felt font, which is probably junk and substituting for the real helvetica or times or whatever the page code is requesting.

  • Wierd font mess when creating iphoto cards

    Hello!
    Here's the issue:
    Every time I type in my text for a card and then I go to change the font or the font size it messes EVERYTHING (all the text anyway) up!. The wierd thing is that it doesn't change the text to the font I select, it changes it to ONE font below the font I select. So.... If I WANT say "Helvetica" I have to choose "Hiku" which is one below helvetica alphabetically, or if I want to choose say "Baskerville" then I have to actually select "Bookman". Very strange and frustrating! How can I get iphoto to accept the fonts i'm selecting? Selecting the font sizes does the same thing to mess everything up.
    G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    graphicdzine,
    Sounds like a possible font problem to me.
    I would recommend that you check out Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, by Kurt Lang.

  • Lots of fonts messed up. /etc/fonts/ dissapeared :s

    I started up arch today and went to open something in mousepad, i noticed that monospace was messed up so i ran "fc-cache -fv" as root and normal user again. Then rebooted now there are more fonts that have messed up like sans etc.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Here's the output of fc-cache.
    [ash@breakage ~]$ fc-cache -fv

  • [SOLVED]Xfce4/Xorg - Fonts messed up

    Hey
    Beside dwm I'm actually trying out if Xfce4 fits for my needs so I installed it using 'pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies'. I'm already used to it since my time with Debian so I like this DE pretty much.
    Everything installed just fine and apparently works, but the fonts are really ugly.
    I tried to change them in the Settings-Manager and in Xfce4-Terminal/Mousepad, but I can choose one font or another, they're all the same. There's no difference between Monospace, Newspaper, Sans, Serif, Clean, ClearlyPUA etc.. They all have the same style, same size and same uglyness.
    What works is, that I can change the size of these fonts and I can select other fonts, but beside the size everything stays unchanged.

    Ok maybe it's a bit difficult to explain my problem.
    Another try
    I want Xfce' fonts to look like this
    but currently it looks like this.
    As I already know from my Xfce experiences with Debian, using a font like Monospace normally gives me a nice smooth font as in the first link/image. But currently I can chose Monospace or whatever, the font stays the same, even if I select Monospace the font stay as small and awkward as before. But as I said before Monospace should give me another font which, as stated above, would be very smooth.
    Hopefully my problem is easier to understand know.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why is the font messed up when i open my home page, letters h, n, d are bold on one side of the letter

    while running foxfire some letters look itialic or are bold on one side of the letter. Letters such as d,h,n. and l.

    By default, Firefox will attempt to use your graphics card processor to improve font rendering. But, due to incompatibility with some graphic card driver software, this can look worse than a plainer rendering. To see whether this is the problem, you can turn off this feature.
    That may require changes to one or both of these settings.
    (1) General hardware acceleration setting
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    That takes effect the next time you exit and restart Firefox.
    (2) Azure setting
    (a) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (b) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (c) Double-click the '''gfx.content.azure.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    I don't know whether that kicks in right away or the next time you exit and restart Firefox.

  • [SOLVED] Fonts messed up

    I recently installed a group of nearly a hundred fonts using gnome-font-viewer, and now I have a couple of minor issues with fonts in my system even after uninstalling them all. For example, LibreOffice menus and GUI fonts should be sans-serif but instead I see some fixed width font that was installed *before*. The same happens when I open a PDF with evince: another fixed width font appears where a sans-serif font should be. I tried to reinstall the involved packages and regenerate the font cache, but the font config tools seem a bit low level for me and I cannot figure out how to revert the situation.
    I am using OpenBox with no desktop environment and no display manager.

    $ fc-match sans
    DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
    This doesn't make sense either as Century is a serif font. If I upload the PDF to Google Docs, open it with pdf.js or in another Linux distribution or in Windows sans fonts are used, which is the behaviour that used to happen before. I also tested another desktop PDF readers on my system and the problem persisted, even opening it with Inkscape. Any more ideas?

  • Illustrator fonts messed up, help!

    i have a bunch of fonts installed on my pc, when im in a word program, i can highlight the font and choose which font id like to use by simply pressing the arrow down key to look through all my fonts.
    when im in illustrator, however, this doesnt work. whether i highlight the actual text or just have the text box selected, when i go into the characters table to edit and choose my font, i click the font name and will start at the top of the list and use my arrow keys to go up and down. this works for the first few key strokes, depending where i am in the list, but then ill be close to the top and after a few more down strokes i end up near the bottom of the list. and if i hit a certain few fonts, no matter how many times i press down to scroll down, it will just alternate between two fonts. the ONLY way i can view each font in the list is to manually click it with the mouse.
    i run illustrator CS4 and i noticed when looking through computer file folders, illustrator didnt have a font folder but i see one in indesign. if i added a font folder to illustrator, can i pick and choose which fonts my illustrator program has vs. what my windows fonts uses?
    im trying to fix this jumping problem but i really have no idea where to start.
    the fonts within the font list in the illustrator drop menue also has a few dividing lines, why is that? as if fonts are in certain sections or divided by type maybe? i wasnt sure if this makes a difference to my main issue.
    any feedback is appreciated thanks!

    In the preferences (Text handling section), disable the Glyph protection setting

  • Multiple Thread of a xml publisher report - messed up fonts in the PDF out

    We are running 60000 invoices at a given time. In order to get the job done faster, the xml publisher report is set up to run mulitple threads. Each thread running unique set of invoices.
    I am seeing this issue, randomly.
    The pdf output of the invoice is having the fonts messed up. font 10 shows up as 14 and the invoice looks very bad.
    When i rerun the same set of invoices it looks absolutely normal.
    Also if I retrieve the xml output of the bad pdf and view it through the xmlpub desktop, it looks perfectly fine.
    Two times we saw this issue
    PRODUCTION
    - when i run 8 threads, i saw this issue in one of the thread and affected one invoice. (Production- 1 concurrent processing node+ 5 OPP processes and 5 threads + MEMORY is J:oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController:-mx3072m )
    TEST INSTANCE
    - when i ran with 16 threads, one of the thread running xml pub report affected all the invoices (UAT environment-1 concurrent processing node+ 7 OPP processes and 1 threads + MEMORY is J:oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsf.GSMServiceController:-mx3072m )
    Looks like it is happening when running multiple threads.
    The formatting command or information is getting lost somewhere and the report is all messed up.
    Please advise.
    Thanks
    SJ

    Really appreciate your response. Can you pls give little more details.
    1] Are there any standard API's which I can use to submit XML publisher report from the JSP pages
    2]Is there any sample code snippet for any of the options that I can refer to..or pls let me know the API's, I will check on them
    Appreciate any help

  • Installing fonts with In Design

    Hi , I have installed new fonts on my computer. Then started to use them in In Design, all seemed good. Next time I went in the fonts were not there and not recognized. I went in and placed them into my computer fonts folder again. They were always in my fonts manager suitcase fusion.  Design now won't open correctly, but all the other programs seem to open ok, although I have not tried to use these new fonts in them yet. Have done the uninstall reinstall thing and still no good. Hoping someone has some ideas, thanks.

    Without proper system information and other details like how you manage fonts nobody can tell you much. From your using an incompatible, outdated version of Fusion to a "bad" font messing up things to problms with duplicate fonts e.g. from TypeKit this could be anything. You need to be much more specific. Either way, ask in the ID forum and provide those details.

  • Font Issues, Looking for clarification

    Good Morning,
    I am trying to insert pages into a manual. The pages I am inserting are CAD drawings that were created with AutoCAD Civil 3D and printed to pdf.
    1) Drawing #1.pdf
    2) Drawing #2.pdf
    Sometimes when I add the drawings to a new pdf using the insert command, the fonts mess up and show little squares instead of a random letter, such as f or ".
    There are about 100 drawings to insert. Can anyone explain what is going on here? Or some settings to check? I thought PDF was supposed to be portable document format.
    I have tried a few things such as:
    #1 Embed font, #2 Non-embedded font, this makes squares.
    #1 Embed font, #2 Embed font, this does not make squares. (Font is the same, ArialMT)

    I was hoping to avoid having to reprint all the drawings, in the future I'm going to embed fonts in anything I do to prevent this from happening again. It is frustrating as you will be inserting drawings (from other users) and everything looks good. Then when you insert the 99th drawing, it messes up 30% of the previous drawings fonts.
    Anyway thanks for the input.

  • Font Issue in firefox

    Few days back i installed new fonts because i am a graphics designer so i did what i was suppose to do but after that everything on firefox messed up. first of all i noticed it on fiverr as i am a freelancer so i use fiverr as my workplace all the time so all the fonts became bold and italic. then after few days i came to firefox addons page and found the same issue on that page.
    Check the screenshot http://awesomescreenshot.com/0ee3zczqff
    as you can see menu and all other fonts messed up.
    Same thing happened at firefox site http://awesomescreenshot.com/05c3zczr58
    i have tried re-installing Windows 8 default fonts.
    I have tried re-installing firefox.
    i have tried reset windows fonts settings to default.
    i have tried firefox Options>Content> Font settings in firefox.
    I tried one more thing which is in firefox fonts settings when unchecked use website default fonts instead on my selected fonts in firefox options. all websites started with which i am having this issue started using fonts i selected in firefox options. when i checked back that checkbox and refresh the page it came back to the same condition.
    Please help me to fix this issue. Thank you in advance.

    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.

  • Chromium 43.0.2357.65-1 font issues and huge UI

    Hello,
    Has anyone experienced font smoothing issues since installing the latest (43.0.2357.65-1) chromium? It's so bad for me that it's forced me to downgrade. Screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/Fn7Qy (top 2 are version 42, bottom two are version 43.) Also, other UI elements are behaving strangely with this version. Context menus and the settings menu open up on another monitor rather than where they should. The page loading icon looks downright bad (recording here: http://gfycat.com/DisgustingTallBlackrussianterrier)
    After searching around, I'm not finding other people with these same issues so I'm thinking it may be limited to Arch/something with my config. However, I wouldn't be surprised if these are upstream issues since just downgrading chromium fixes everything. I looked at the PKGBUILD changes and it seems that the only change (other than the version bump) is the inclusion of a webm library (libvpx.)
    Thanks

    The --force-device-scale-factor=1 switch brings the UI back to normalish but the font is still huge. I might have changed something last time the UI/fonts messed up that is interfering know. However, does anyone else have a console output similar to this?
