Fonts wont display properly in Safari

I have to restart my computer about twice a day to get rid of the gobbledey-gook that comes up in my browser address bar
they look something like this --> *&^%((&$#@#
Also anything that uses system fonts to display the characters does this. This is also happening in my mail program and in SuitcaseXI.
I have stripped down my system fonts to the bear minimum and I have tried font cache cleaner but that doesnt work for very long. Is there a more permanent solution to this problem?

I'm not experiencing your problems but the Standard font in Safari is set to Times 16 and Fixed-width font is set to Courier 13.
See if that helps.

  • Fonts not displaying properly in Safari

    I built a webpage in Adobe Dreamweaver and for the most part the text is editable. It displays properly in all web browsers (internet explorer, chrome, firefox) except for Safari. When I view it in Safari on my MacBook Pro, the sections where text is editable is displayed in a different font than I used. I used Century Gothic which is a sans serif font and it's being displayed as a serif font.
    How do I fix this?

    On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.

    This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:

    Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

  • Fonts not displaying properly after 10.0 update (Mac OS X)

    After I updated to Firefox 10.0, almost all websites now default to Times Roman, even after I have set Helvetica as my default font as well as have checked "allow pages to choose their own fonts".
    I tried trashing prefs, reinstalling the previous version of FF but to no avail.
    Never had this issue before and all fonts are displaying properly in Safari and Chrome.
    Any ideas?

    Ok repaired permissions and now ''some'' fonts display properly but some are still times roman. Even explicitly setting fonts in Firebug doesn't change them...

  • Photo page won't display properly in safari

    Hi everyone!
    I'm completely new to building websites and need some of your expert advice?
    For some reason my photo pages won't display properly in Safari but ok in Firefox?
    It worked fine a week ago and I can't think what I've done wrong since I republished last night?
    http://www.abeledo.talktalk.net/losavellanos/House.html
    Can anyone help?
    I'll buy you a pint!
    Cheers

    No luck unfortunately.
    I changed the background to a solid and made the changes that you suggested roddy, but neither seemed to work. I know I must be doing something wrong? Do the photos appear ok with you roddy? All I see, is half the page i.e nav bar, top image, 'the house & garden etc text and top half of the darker box where the thumbnails should appear. And this happens with all 3 photo pages currently on the site.

    I've been clearing my cache in both browsers every time I republish.
    I've also tried upgrading to the new 3.0.3 beta Safari? You'd think - out of all the browsers- iWeb would work seamlessly with Safari wouldn't you? - Firefox is fine.
    Do you think I should start from scratch?

  • Degree symbol not displayed properly in Safari 6

    I don't know whether this is a font/configuration issue or a bug. If I look at a certain web site, the degree symbol is displayed as a black diamond with a white "?" inside it in Safari 6. It displays properly on the same Mac using Chrome. It displays properly on an iPhone and iPad using iOS5.1. So I suspect this is a Safari 6 issue.
    This is not a major problem, just an annoyance. If anyone has an idea for resolution, I'd sure appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    My design view won't display properly in Mozilla or IE. The images show. The CSS (core and flow) are found according to the access logs. But it doesn't display nicely at all. This was an upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6. 1.5 looked fine. My old applications from 1.5 display properly.

  • Emails wont display properly

    I like the Mail app: its easy to configure and most emails display properly.
    Some emails, though, will not display at a readable resolution : the font is too small to read.
    When I try to click / touch to zoom (as in maps or safari) in it doesn't work.
    Is there a work around apart from going into the mail account via safari?

    Thanks.
    You are a mine of information

  • Many Edge Web Fonts not displaying properly, help ?!!!

    From this morning, and for the second time in only 10 days, some web fonts in our Edge projects aren't displaying properly anymore !
    We're having issues with Maiden Orange, Italianna or even Amatic but when i go on https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/ at least 75% of the fonts previews are wrong and shows default ones on Safari, Chrome or even Firefox : WTF ?
    So it's clearly coming from Adobe's font service, and i hope that they will solve it ASAP cause it's a huge thing for us and our clients !

    Okay, so it seems like i can reproduce it on new files. The problem occurs from selecting certain fonts. Bangers is one i was using and seems to have issues after selecting. In the add font box, after selecting it, other fonts no longer become available and fall back to the default ones. So trying this on two different computers with a new file can mean it is either a web font issue, or some odd occurence my internet connection is causing. Any help is appreciated.

  • Ads are not displaying properly in Safari, v 4.0.5

    I am having an odd problem with display ads from our local newspaper not displaying properly on my Mac Pro in Safari. I suspect that the issue might be related to having had some AdBlock app on my system a few months ago. I removed the app and some ads display, but others are just a white block with nothing inside. Is there any way to figure out why the content doesn't load?
    The website is http://www.echopress.com
    The ads I'm having issues with are the 300x250 ads in the right 3rd column, located directly below the weather info and above the "marketplace" ads.
    Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?
    Thanks,
    Grady
    Oh, why do I wanna see em in the first place? I'm an advertiser on the site and would like to see my own ads load occasionally.

    Hey ho, Grady!
    I can see all the ads on the right,
    with the exception of the very top (first) box
    which has the header of "Weather Alerts).
    It's blank, and I'm assuming you have no alerts at the present.
    All the rest of the paid for ads show.
    So, what I would do is clear my Safari cache, history, and
    in Preferences>Security, clear all the cookies from that site.
    Hope this helps.
    If you need more info just holler.
    Let us know how you're doing, OK?

  • Fonts not displaying properly in PDFs in Preview

    When I open a PDF in Preview, fonts are either substituted, or the text doesn't display at all.
    PDFs display properly in Adobe Acrobat, however.
    I've tried deleting Preview's preferences, to no avail. Any clues?

    This is a constant problem for us too (on our new Leopard only machines), any program that uses the OS to display PDFs will keep dropping type.
    This means the finder, preview, keynote and mail applications. Our placed PDFs in keynote slides don't show type. In finder windows, the type in pdfs (the icon) is sporadic at best, in mail and entourage the type on pdfs in email is also sporadic. Preview itself is completely hot or miss. But open the same pdf in acrobat and viola, perfect.
    Clearing the font caches and restarting is only a temporary fix.
    This is an inexcusable bug that makes doing professional design work (the sole reason we have macs) extremely difficult. I wish we had not upgraded any of our computers.

  • Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

    I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files.  The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
    For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
    And here is the same file uploaded just now:
    https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
    The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file.  With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
    This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless.  Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

    On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.

  • Website not displaying properly in Safari

    Hi
    I have a MacBook Air.  One of my favourite websites (my sons' school) has suddenly stopped displaying properly - no images, just text on a black screen.  The text is the menu that should down the left hand column of the website, but none of the content which usually displays alongside it is visible (picture inserted below)
    I thought it must be the site's problem but it displays perfectly on my other devices.  I suspect if may be something to do with caches (if Macs have them?) I have tried clearing my browsing history but to no avail.  As there are new pics up of my kids I would love to work out how to get it to display again - any help would be much appreciated! Thanks so much

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • Fonts not displaying properly (square symbols)

    I'm trying to troubleshoot an error in a 3rd party vendor's java applet where fonts are not displaying properly. It seems as though when the arial bold font is used, it does not display from a particular computer. (this is a company terminal server, by the way).
    To illustrate what I mean, I've posted links to small images showing a working example from another machine:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_working.gif
    .. and a non-working example:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/d0hboy/font_problem_error.gif
    (apologies, I don't know how to include images in this forum).
    Vendor support can only provide support so far as requiring a certain version of a JRE is installed -- after that, it's up to me. I've tried comparing the two JRE/lib/Fonts directories and Windows regional settings but they are the same. I've also tried setting the Sun Java console trace level to DEBUG while Internet Explorer is running the applet.
    Is there any where I can look to find out what font is missing, or whether the "JavaFontNotFound" exception is firing? Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

    Make sure that you're using the correct font. Arial Bold does not provide full Unicode support. Thsi webpage may assist you:

  • Can't Get Fonts to Display Properly in Reader

    I have a poster I'm trying to make available in a PDF file on the web.
    The file displays properly if it's started/loaded directly on a
    computer. But, when the file is downloaded from the web using a
    browser and viewed in the browser the fonts are screwed up.
    The fonts are embedded in the pdf file.
    How do I make the fonts display properly in the browser downloaded
    file?

  • Samsung HDTV wont display properly

    I hooked my dual core Mini to my Samsung TX-P2670WH HDTV with a DVI cable. The text is blurry and I have to set the resolution at 640 x 480 just to make it out. The specs say it is 720p and 1080i compatible TV. No amount of tweaking with settings has helped. How do I get it to display properly?

    It might be that your TV is always doing some kind of scaling and/or image smoothing regardless of the incoming signal. While this usually works really well for video, it will usually completely ruin computer output by making the image blurry.
    Try turning off all possible "image optimization" settings on the TV and then setting the resolution as close as you can to the native resolution of the screen.
    Note that on some TVs it is impossible to completely turn off image scaling so you will always end up with somewhat unclear picture. The effect is very similar to driving your LCD monitor on a resultion that is different than its native one.

  • Non-Latin characters no displaying properly in Safari on iPhone

    I am having an issue where non-English (Chinese, Japanese etc) characters are displaying as squares on the iPhone's Safari browser. I've seen this issue on Windows when you haven't installed support for Asian languages.
    It would appear that the version of OS-X on the iPhones does not have support for non-Latin character sets.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Could you provide the urls? It may be the pages have bad coding. Correctly coded pages will display according to tests I've seen:

    But unlike OS X the iPhone has no way yet to manually correct for miscoded pages via a View > Text Encoding menu.
