Google fonts all but unreadable in Safari

I just downloaded the latest version of Safari and happen to notice that the Google font I am using for my website--"Exo"--is completely unreadable in paragraph form. Is this intentional on the part of Apple? It looks fine in every other browser and I hate having to dumb down my design, especially for Apple...

Changing Preferences > font settings > Windows standard (I am on a Windows machine)
to
> Best for CRT
Solved the problem. The weird thing is that this setting only affected the home page content: The other pages looked fine!
If anyone has a conjecture why this might be I'd love to hear it. The bigger question is whether we should rely on browser settings to render our particular fonts correctly. Should <p> tags still still stick to the traditional font families or are Safari users savvy enough to make the adjustment? I don't want the user of a particular browser to think I don't know what I'm doing...

Need someone with experience using Google fonts!

Doing my first site using Google fonts... love it! BUT I have a problem! Since I'm using a condensed Google font, when I'm in "split" view in Dreamweaver... Dreamweaver doesn't actually show the font - have to view it on server since it has to locate the Google font. So what is happening, it the font is showing up wider while I'm working in Dreamweaver and causing divs to be shifted around. Not a problem because it will display fine on the server BUT the shifting of divs is overlapping the area I need to work in! Kindof hard to explain. So here is a screenshot. The word "membership" in the top left nav is pushing the sidebar to the right, exactly where I need to try add/change content. Again, I KNOW it will LOOK fine once on the server when the fonts are rendered using the more condensed Google font. But will make working on these pages very difficult. Anyone run into this problem????

Dreamweaver help (F1) search for 'Design Time Stylesheets'. Choose a comparable condensed font from your system's font library.

Google fonts showing differently on Safari and Chrome

Hi there,
I have a question about using Google Fonts or Websafe fonts. For a website I'm using Questrial as a font.
I'm aware the font is showing different on a webbrowser than in the preview of Muse, but spaces appear to be bigger in Google Chrome than Safari. This means the graphic design I made isn't showing correct on Google Chrome. See attachments! The weird thing is it's showing perfectly right on a Google Chrome App on tablet. It's just a desktop problem.
The site is built in a older version of Muse and I just downloaded the latest version, but it's still appearing wrong on Google Chrome.
Is there a solution for this problem? Thanks.

If things doesn't improve, try (A) and (B)
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

I apologize if this is a repeat -- I can't find if my question has been posted, but all traffic received through SAFARI (but not FIREFOX) quoting prices has the latter in EUROS, not US Dollars. Figures in my outgoing Email appear to the recepient in Dolla

I apologize if this is a repeat, but I can't tell if my question has been posted.
For the past several weeks, all incoming traffic via Safari 5.0.5, but not Firefox,containing cost/price figures appear in Euros, not US Dollars. My responses, however, are received correctly in US Dollars. Wierd, and irritating. Any ideas?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Is there any way to bring back the font type and background of Safari reader from iOS6 in to the iOS7 ? I really miss it, the new design is awful, simple and has now class at all.

I agree with you, many things in the ios 6.x were more elegant. The reader was the most one of them. I think the ios7 wants to be the windows 8.

I deleted the font section but everything in Photoshop CS5 works. How can I fixed this because I use fonts all the time? I don't want to purchase another one since this cost me $699:(

I purchased PhotoshopCS5 Sept 2010 and still use the same MAC. I invertly deleted the font section but everything else works. How can I fixed this because I use fonts all the time? I don't want to purchase another one since this cost me $699:(

Which version of mac os x are you using?
Could you clarify what you mean by "I invertly deleted the font section"

Imported text from word, all missing fonts found, but still have pink boxes for Turkish language

Hi,
I placed a document from word. The body font is ITC Garamond. Apparently ITC Garamond doesn't have some Turkish characters. Adobe Garamond however, does. So I was going through and selecting each pink box and changing the character to a new character style I created which is the Adobe Garamond Font. Surely there's an easier way to do this rather than me selecting each pink box? Can GREP do this? I would use the Find Font dialogue, but it shows all fonts as being fine, it doesn't show any missing fonts. So this seems to just be a wierd issue with ITC Garamond not having those special characters.
I know what you're thinking, why not just make my body font Adobe Garamond Pro.... Well I can't right now. Not for this job. Maybe in the future I will, but for not it has to stay ITC Garamond condensed Book.
Also, I should note that in the preflight panel, InDesign does not show the document as having any missing Glyphs either.... so Peter's Glyph script won't work.
Thanks in advance.

In your case I would not add or change a character style, change your paragraph style. A mix between 2 similar fonts looks terrible. You might need a character style for language purposes, to get through with hyphenation correctly, but this is a different thing.
To change a font globally go to search font and replace and redefine styles.
But if you really does not want to change the font you can crate a character style. And in your paragraph style go to GREP styles and select this chara style and write all glyphs and letters where you need this character style.
Take care, if you use a different font you might have to scale in advanced properties, so that a glyph from the other form fits to the rest of the text.

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen! Any one else experience this? Horrid design Apple! It's your freaking web browser! Google Chrome works but not Safari! I may simply return this "upgrade" unless someone can help

Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen... What gives? Safari is Apple's browser for gods sakes! Google Chrom works but not Safari? This is nuts. This is an "upgrade"?? Anyone else experiencing this? Or should I just give up and return this

Are you always like this?
First try a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

All websites garbled in Safari

Hello everyone,
I searched the topics in this forum about my problem, and I have already learned a lot. The responses were incredibly helpful providing advice--so thank you. Unfortunately, none of the existing suggestions worked for me, so I hope someone can shed new light on this problem.
Safari is garbling every website that I load. Chunks of each website do get rendered properly, but then there are long strings of code that show up on screen. Here is a screenshot example, when I pull up the BBC news site:
http://pages.nyu.edu/~mcd321/screenshot.jpg
Normally, the website should look like:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
(From what I can tell, the garbled text is just an output of the website title and then all of the comment tags starting with <!-- )
My problem seems to be identical to the one discussed in this forum already at <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2037658&
I read that whole thread and followed all of the suggestions, but none of them resolved my problem. I am running Safari 2.0.4(419.3) on OSX 10.4.7 on an iBook G4. I have run Software Updater and am up to date. I searched for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, but as far as I can tell, they are not on my computer. Using Font Book, I resolved duplicates, validated all fonts, and disabled classic fonts. Using Disk Utility, I repaired disk permissions. Safari was still garbling, so then I emptied all fonts from ~\Library\Fonts and \Library\Fonts. I removed all but the 8 essential fonts from \System\Library\Fonts. I used Font Finagler to clean my font cache. Then I restarted the system. And it's still producing the same garble.
Any other ideas? Thanks for reading this whole post--I would appreciate any information or ideas that anyone has.
iBook G4, 14" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello, I want to add that I have the exact same problem. Just started two days ago. I use Internet Explorer now until I can get a fix.
Went to the Apple store and no one in the store had ever seen or heard of this problem. (I brough the laptop along for clarity). I was informed to save all user data on a sep. drive, and reinstall OSX. I haven't done that yet.
Also, I noticed that certain emails in the iMail account I use come in with the same garbled appearance. It seems like all the HTML and flash code or something.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Lisa

Firefox 3.6.3 is not supported by the Google Font API

I have Firefox 3.6.3 on my Macbook, but is only detected as 3.0.1on this form. When I link to the Google font website, it says, "We're sorry, but your browser is not supported by the Google Font API. To browse the fonts in the Google font directory please switch to a more modern browser." So I have to use Safari to get to the page.

Firefox doesn't display Romanian diacritics properly (Google Fonts)

Hello,
I have a blog on Blogger, which is in Romanian. I am using Arimo (Google Font). I tested my blog on several popular browsers (Google Chrome, Opera, even Internet Explorer) to check if the diacritics are displayed properly. They work perfectly on all 3 browsers.
However, on Firefox, only two of them work Î & Â, while the other three (Ș, Ț, Ă) are replaced with another font. What could be the problem? I would love for all my visitors to see the same design, regardless of the browsers they use. Can you help? Thanks in advance.
Here's an image, to better understand my issue - http://i.imgur.com/257QyId.png

The link for my blog is http://ferdy.ro
@guigs2 - thank you filling a bug report.
@cor-el,
As you can see, if you access my blog, it displayes the Arimo font, yet three Romanian diacritics (ș, ț, ă) are displayed with the Arial font. I used the sans-serif trick in my CSS code and it sort of fixes the problem, but not entirely.
Arimo has tons of diacritics (including Romanian diacritics) and special characters, yet this issue occurs only on Firefox and Yandex (tested today), however it is displayed properly in Chrome, Opera and even Internet Explorer.
The 'Allow pages to index...' setting is already enabled on my browser. Also, the Page Inspector generates a 'Not found' for me. This is weird, if it was because of the font, then it shouldn't work on all the browsers.
If there is nothing I can about it, then I'll switch to Arial entirely or keep it this way - it's very important for me to have the same design on all of the browsers.

Firefox doesn't display Google fonts on parts of my site

I'm creating a website, using Joomla 3. My template uses Google Fonts (Roboto & Roboto Condensed).
On Headers and Paragraphs the font is shown correctly, but not on my TopMenu (and submenus). Why is that? How can I fix this?
Here's a link:
