Google Chrome displays different fonts

When I design a document in either Indesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop I use many custom fonts. I export my PDF's as optimized as possible for web viewing from the layout program itself.
I don't stop there. I open my exported PDF in Acrobat and optimize the file further using the Optimize PDF tool. I flatten everything out, but I keep my fonts embedded. When I drag and drop the file in Google Chrome or Firefox the fonts change. I get some cheap looking serif font instead of my slab serif. I've tried unembedding the font as well and I get the same result.
What gives?
I just want to make sure this isn't something I'm doing wrong. What's weird is it happens in Firefox/Chrome, but it doesn't happen in Safari.
Firefox/Chrome PDF viewer:
Safari PDF viewer:

Interesting.
However, as what each of these browsers does to render a PDF is dictated by the respective coding discussions of that would have to take place each browsers "developer space".
Nothing there is controlled by Adobe eh.
Be well...

Google Chrome displaying incorrect fonts

I have just downloaded google chrome for the first time and tested a site I have built in it, and all the fonts are times/serif style when I have created the style sheet to have ariel/helvetice/sans serif as the default body font.
Every other browser I have tested my site in has displayed the correct fonts - even dare I say it - Internet Explorer seems to be doing a great job! So why not chrome? Having looked for some rational reason, I decided to come here, using chrome as my browser, and it was then that I noticed that the adobe site which is normally sans serif is displaying serif fonts!!
Why?
Here's a link to the site:

Oh bless you... are you and your hefty walleted father in-law really that naive to believe this is a live website?
I am in the process of constructing the site, and as a result, I need to test it on a testing server rather than on my client's live domain! Occasionally, one has problems that one cannot seem to overcome without a little guidance from others who are able to help, which is obviously why you have joined this forum. If one does have problems, then you will without question be asked to show an example of the site and its code before you even get a relevant and constructive response. That's all you are looking at
As you rightly point out, the product range is missing images. If you actually bothered to look at the code, you would see that the source is blank, and secondly, if you read the text below each, you would see that all four are identical. Why would I bother to do that on a live site? You will also see that there are other parts of the site that I am yet to build, or if they are built, then I need to populate them with something other than dummy content. There is so much lorem ipsum across the site that I find it hard to believe anybody would consider this to be a finished product!
Look at what you have just judged and you will realise that there are so many clues that this isn't a complete site. The domain I have asked people to look at is under the name of matthew stuart design, and if you bothered to look at the top level of the domain, you'll quickly discover I am a graphic and web designer. I do not supply generators to markets (which are clearly indicated), such as the military where they generate electrical power to war torn regions to aid in the rebuild of that which has been destroyed... I don't supply the medical sector where stand-by power is required just in case there is a power failure during open-heart surgery.
If you studied the content of the wibiya bar, you would see that it refers to me as a designer, and my approach is a friendly one. However, at the moment I don't feel particularly friendly. Every job I have done has fulfilled my clients needs, but not only that, it has also fulfilled the requirements of my client's clients'. The wibiya bar is simply there as an example to my customers... I don't even have it on my live site!
What you have posted is totally out of line. The client I am building this site for has an exceptional name in their industry, and if your father in-law was in the market of buying a power generator, then I recommend them highly, and they will be able to build him something that suits his budget. If your father in-law requires a website, then I suggest he use somebody with experience, and that would be me, or any number of other experienced members of this forum.
So, your father in-law has made an incorrect judgement - leading me to question if he applies the same analytical processes to his million pound budget, OR, it's more than likely you have misled him due to your own naivety, and if that is the case, then I apologise for my previous comment about his capabilities.
If you're going to insult me, make sure you get your ducks in a row before-hand. Making such a comment could spread like a virus ruining my clients reputation... that's not just A BIG NO NO, it is hugely irresponsible!
By the way, I don't sell paper clips, but I've had a box full of them for more than 10 years and I don't use them; you can have them free of charge... you'll just need to pay for the postage!

Embed and Display different font styles

Let's say I have a text field with some HTML formatted text inside.
txt_field.htmlText = "This is <b>sample</b> text."
how do I embed my fonts so it'll show both the regular and the bold version of the font?
It just works on my Mac but when I look at it on a PC it doesn't even display the right font.
Instead of the bold version of the font, how could I use the black version of the font instead?
Thanks
Julie

unfortunately that is not applicable in this case.
autofill only works if you have every single letter that might be used in the dynamic field already in there, since the field is filled with text dynamically I'd have to put every letter of the alphabet in there to cover all the possibilities, and then I still don't have the bold versions of the letters embedded :-(
Looks like have to make a textfield for each font version and embed each one separately. I'll try that next...

One of my iWeb site pages is displaying incorrectly on Google Chrome.

I've been using iWeb to publish to my FTP hosted by Bluehost for years. Recently, one of my pages is displaying completely wrong and only shows minimal text and nothing else, it should look like all of the other main pages. All other pages work perfectly on my site (www.VincentFWelch.com) except for the following page: http://www.vincentfwelch.com/live/ADS.html I've tried clearing all of my browsing data as well as re-installing Google Chrome, nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone confirm this is an issue only on my Mac or if every mac using Google Chrome displays this page incorrectly?

It doesn't display in Safari either. Are you publishing directly to the ftp server or to a folder on your hard drive and then uploading with a 3rd party FTP client?
If it's the former publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. See if that page loads normally. If so then it's the upload process that's failing.
On possible fix is to use the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option in an attempt to get all of the files uploaded.
It appears that the files for the ADS page are not being uploaded. You can use a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Cyberduck or Trasnmit to upload the folder for the ADS page manually.

Error stage3d scene opening in full screen in Google Chrome

Hello!
I use Away3D as the framework. When I try to expand the stage to full screen by changing StageDisplayState, the scene freezes and instead displays a white screen.
In the console of Google Chrome displays the following error:
GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glFramebufferTexture2D: no framebuffer bound.
Tell me, what could be the problem?

Hi hein56,
According to your description, the error is encountered when you try to login your SharePoint Online site.
To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps for identifying the error code:
View the source code of the login.microsoftonline.com webpage that shows the error message. For example, in Internet Explorer, press the ALT key to display the menu bar (if it isn't already displayed),
and then clickSource on the View menu.
Search the source code for the HR= string, and then note the numeric code that follows the HR= string.
Then you can find more information about how to troubleshoot the issue according to the error code.

Installed new fonts, now Chrome has weird fonts instead of Times?

I installed some new fonts on my mac and now Google chrome has weird fonts (assumably apart of the new ones I installed) replacing the standard Times and other fonts on some occassions. I took some screen shots to demonstrate this:
Those are the two weird fonts. I'm not sure what they actually are called. I went into chrome and switched all of the font options to Times but it didn't change anything.
Please help because this is really quite annoying.

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?

How to make firefox render fonts as google-chrome does? (screenshot)

How do I make firefox render fonts as google chrome does as shown in screenshot? (Chrome below and firefox above)
Notice for instance the dash "/", "Explore", "Features" etc and the text at the bottom "added git_fixes".
I'm no expert but is it antialiasing that makes the difference? Cause it seems the font is the same, right?
.Xresources

Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium

I have ttf-win7-fonts installed, and also recently I've installed Infinality (haven't configured it, necessary?).
Advice appreciated.

well in firefox you can chose your font and then unclick the let sites chose there own fonts.
ya looking at your picture I do see the diff. but I do not have that pixelation in my firefox.
.Xresources has nothing to do with gtk
I do want to let sites choose their own fonts though.
When I look closely on my screenshot I wonder if it's even the same font though (the "3" looks very different).
Perhaps that's where the problem lies.
If I force firefox to use Arial, it looks good. If I set it to Helvetica which seems to be the font used, it looks like in the screenshot - pixelated.
$ fc-match helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"
Seems it doesn't use truetype (helvetica.ttf?) as default font for helvetica - shouldn't it?

Dodgy Font in Google Chrome BrowserLab

Hi All
I have an issue with the font being significantly different to all the other browsers in Google Chrome BrowserLab. I am novice so please forgive my ignorance, but I've been doing some research and I've downloaded font files like 'ChunkFive', but the when using this the font is really bold and thick. So I've been trying to use it in combination with my original font of 'Verdena, Arial, Helvitica, Sans-Serif' but I've had no luck.
If anyone can help me urgently I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Vincent

*cough* Well... you can ignore that specific issue that we're showing for Chrome, yes, but I wouldn't just ignore BrowserLab
The odd thing we're trying to figure out right now is that it looks fine in Chrome on the desktop, but our QE person took a screenshot of that to send to show me, and the screenshot ended up with the same font fuzziness, so the screenshot she got actually looked different from what was in the browser. We're going to investigate further, but at this point it looks like it may be a problem in Chrome itself.

Indic fonts not showing only in Google Chrome

I have installed the infinality-bundle-fonts. Thus unicode characters show up well in Firefox and other applications. But (indic) fonts are still not shown in Google Chrome.

I have tried re-installing Google Chrome.
# fc-match :lang=hi

The snippet to check the font was from infinality thread
ondoho wrote:from your scrots i see that ff and chrome are using different fonts.
Yeah, you are right. Chrome was using windows fonts by default and had not imported the default system-font settings.
I updated the default fonts in Chrome from:
Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Web Content >> Customize fonts
ondoho wrote:why are you not using chromium? chrome is google proprietary, chromium is foss.
I have been using Chrome mainly due to the PDF and flash integration. But after your post I checked the Arch Wiki which provided the workarounds for (better) PDF integration.
ondoho wrote:have you checked the wiki (the entry for chrome redirects to chromium. i suppose this means the setup is the same)?
I re-went through the Infinality and Chromium wikis and installations. I also installed a few additional fonts. One of them seems to have solved the problem and I can view the indic fonts now.
Thanks for the leads, they were helpful.

Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X Yosemetie 10.10.2
I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
HELP!

Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

Why can Google Chrome browser display PDF that Reader cannot?

I have a large PDF of a 2300-person family tree (400 pages if printed) that I am trying to share with family. The PDF is produced by MacFamilyTree on Mac OS X 10.8.4 It has the ability to simply "Save" the Graph as a PDF and I can also ask it to "Print" and inside the "Print Dialog" I can ask it to "Save as PDF". I have created the PDF both ways, and have the same problems with both.
Using Mac OS X 10.8 and Apple's Preview program, I can view the PDF and search inside the PDF just fine. If only all my relatives were on Macs my problems would be solved. But alas, they are predominantly on Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8) with all the annoyances that are entailed in trying to help troubleshoot non-technical people who have no idea what software they have or have not installed or updated.
Using the Google Chrome browser on Windows 7 (64-bit) and on Mac OS X 10.8.4 I can view the PDF, but search fails. Being able to see the family tree will certainly be a bonus to family members, but the first thing they all want to do is "Find Myself" in the tree. So getting a solution that both displays and allows for search (like Preview does) is what I'm hoping for.
These other browers (Safari, IE, FireFox) all the latest and greatest, downloaded today with fresh installs, fail to display the PDF on both OSes (obivously, IE was only on Win7 - not 100% sure which version it was, probably 9).
Acrobat Reader, version 9.5, and the current latest version on both Win7 and Mac OS X fail to display the PDF at all.
If I reduce the scope of the family tree, down to say 300 people, then pretty much all of these programs are able to display it just fine. Search is still mostly broken, but display works. If I reduce it even futher to just a couple dozen people, then display and search works great everywhere.
The largest file itself is only a tad larger than 4MB.
The document is not very complex - just a bunch of lines connecting people to their spouses/children/parents and small boxes around each "person" with their name and a little bit of other text, like wedding/divorce and death information.
It's as if all the engineering teams (other than Chrome and Preview) decided to impose an artificial limit on the size of single PDF "page" and the family tree has simply gone past that limit.
Any suggestions? Any chance Reader can be tweaked to be at least as good as the Google Chrome browser or Apple's Preview programs?

I think you might be hitting a page size limit of 200 x 200 inches in Adobe software. Larger files typically appear blank.
