Google Web Fonts breaking select boxes?

Google Web Fonts seems to be causing a bug in the newest version of Safari. Clicking on a select box is causing every window open to reload, and often making the browser crash. Removing the link to Google Web Fonts solves the problem. Any ideas?

So, the actual Google Web Fonts page is working properly which makes me think that there's another javascript library or something that we might be using that is causing the crash. Either that, or google web fonts is using a fancy select box....

Google web fonts, do they print well?

I have a client who is redesigning his website to have google web fonts and wants me to use the same fonts for print materials, does anybody know if they cause any output problems? Or if printer providers complain about them? The fonts are True Type fonts and I am just skeptical to use since they are meant to be used for the web and there is not a Postcript file of each font I can download only True Type.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks.

First of all, you'll see that that google has dropped web from the name.
If you check out the fonts you'll see that many of them have more than
255 glyphs.
Besides, what's the big deal about fonts being truetype? Are you still
worried about myths that were floating around 20 years ago?

Google Web fonts: ignored in FF3.6, but look great in IE!?

I'm trying Google fonts for the first time and was surprised when my pages looked great in everything EXCEPT Firefox. I was able to see the fonts on the Google site just fine, and in Dreamweaver, but not in FF preview, or online, or FF 3.5 on my friend's laptop.
This was the error from the upper right:
Warning: Expected end of value but found '"Trebuchet MS"'. Error in parsing value for 'font'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://geekosystemscom.ipage.com/geekostyles.css
Line: 3
And this is line 3:
body {
font: 65%/1.4 "PT Sans" "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #d9ebd5 url(images/body_bg.jpg) repeat-x;
margin: 0; padding: 0;color: #333;

Please only use either 3.5.11 or 3.6.8 (or newer versions that are eventually released). Other versions of Firefox are not supported.
That said, hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Web fonts breaking up in Safari

This is a problem that seemed to go away for a while then has come back. I did some edits to this site (www.churchill-claims.com) today in the latest version of Muse (7.2 build 232) and in the Safari browser, some of the fonts look jagged, like font smoothing has been turned off.
Here's a screen capture of the page (which shows some of the type appearing jaggy):
This appears to happen only in Safari on the Mac. I checked Firefox, Chrome and Opera for Mac, and the fonts look fine.
Can someone get back to me on this? I put in a bug report months ago and got zero response.
Thanks,
Len Williams

I don't believe the problem is with Typekit. The font didn't change to any other font. I'm viewing the site in the Snow Leopard version of Safari 5.1. The font problems don't show up in the Mavericks version of Safari, so it may be a glitch in the older version of Safari -- however, it's weird because if I click, drag and select the type, the jaggies go away and the font draws properly on screen. But the moment I unselect the text, it reverts to being jaggy.
Another wierdness is that not all the text on the page is affected, just recently changed text or text adjacent to alterations on a page -- which makes me think this may be Muse-related.
I have several older Muse sites that show no font problems, at least until I edit them in Muse, so it's likely that Muse is introducing some type of problem. I can design a new site in Muse and experience zero font problems, so I'm completely confused why older Muse sites, when edited in Muse, all of a sudden turn out to have a wonkyness in the font display.

How do I include 'Edge Web Fonts' into Edge Animate?

How do I include 'Edge Web Fonts' (not Google Web Fonts) into Edge Animate?

Have you tried to use google fonts? I have used them and they work for me.
When you add your font for example:
Copy paste:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Finger+Paint' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
and then for font family.
'Finger Paint', cursive;
then select addfont on the addfont screen

How to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly

I am a Dreamweaver newbie and am trying to learn how to use it through the tutorials. I am stuck at part 3 trying to use Adobe Edge Web Fonts correctly in my web site. As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions in the tutorial correctly, but the font style effect does not show up on my site. I am working on a Windows 7 machine and using Dreamweaver 5.5. I have copied and pasted the javascript into the correct spot in the head of the index.html page as well as included the font-family name in the CSS file and saved the whole smash. The source code for my index page looks exactly like the sample in the tutorial, and I have tried to view my site in my browser, but no dice. Doesn't display the Edge Web Font style in the web page. I believe I've done everything according to the directions, but I suppose I've missed some small detail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

You need to add a <script> to the head of your documents like the example below. In my example, I'm using all of the aguafina-script and league-gothic fonts.

<script src="//use.edgefonts.net/aguafina-script:n4:all;league-gothic:n4:all.js"></script>
CSS:
     h1 {
     font-family: league-gothic, sans-serif;
     font-weight:bold;
     color: #639;
     font-size: 250%;
A simple way to get the correct codes is to go to Adobe Edge Web Fonts and select the font you wish to use.
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts
NOTE: You won't see the custom web fonts displayed in Design View, Live View or when previewed locally unless you use a local testing server. An easier way to test is by uploading the page to your remote server.
Hope this helps,
Nancy O.

Select boxes dependent on each other?

Hi is there a way to use selectboxes / textfileds that depend on each other.
select box 1. reads from database names
select box 2. this one is filled when a chiose from box 1 is selected.
(after a database question based on the result in box 1)
inupttextfields 1 and 2 are filled after a new database request based on the choise in select box 2.
pleased with different kind of answers. without javascripts adn also with use of
javascripts. (Im not so used with javascripts)
Plese give me a simple example and not just a link.
thanks.

Plese give me a simple example and not just a link.There is no simple example, because this is highly specific on your webpage implementation and database. search google for "javascript dynamic select box", or "javascript dynamic option lists". That should give you some examples.

Web Fonts not displaying on 8.1 RT

I'm using Smythe (Edge Web Font) and Pirata One (Google Web Font) in an Animate 3.0 composition. The fonts are working perfectly on all my test devices except my Window 8.1 RT tablet. I have several previous 2.0 animations with web fonts and they're working fine on 8.1 RT. Anyone run into this problem? Below are the stats:
Dev Environment;
Windows 7, 64 bit
Edge Animate 3.0
Working on;
All Desktop Browsers
iPad
iPhone
Kindle Fire HD
Motorola Droid Bionic
Ematic Android Tablet
Not working on;
Dell XPS 10 Tablet

Okay, disregard this post. I had the doc compatibility set wrong. I accidentally had;
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
I should of had it set too;
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
Everything works fine now.

Finally Adobe Releases Free Web Fonts!

Since Adobe didn't allow free use of Adobe fonts that come with CS embedded in your web site HTML code, I've been using Google web fonts in all my websites ( http://www.google.com/webfonts/ ).
Looked like Google would take away all of Adobe's history of being the leader in providing fonts...
But finally Adobe is responding by releasing free open source web fonts for use. The first one was just released, Source Sans Pro.
Adobe has generously added it to Google Web Fonts so just search "Source Sans Pro" on the link above to use the font on your websites.
For more info on Adobe Open Source fonts see Adobe's blog article here: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2012/08/source-sans-pro.html
Cheers!

Hi Jonathan,
Adobe has produced a number of nice fonts over the years but they certanly not been the lead, at least for a very long time.
Thanks for the info though, google fonts are not the only source and as many probably know you have typekit a lot of people use and @font-face is awesome of course.

Adobe Muse, using an adobe edge web font but having a problem with Google Chrome

I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

On Google Chrome the Adobe edge web font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this?

I have created a website with Adobe Muse and I am using an adobe edge web font that looks great on all browsers except for google Chrome... On chrome the font looks fuzzy and broken-up. Is there a way to fix this??? Thanks.

Thank you Sanjit,
I have redone the site using using the font TREBUCHET. The font that I was using that was giving me the problem was EXO which is an Adobe Edge Web font. I'd rather use EXO... Here is a screen shot of a sample page, areas where the type looks especially messed up are circled in red.
This only happens when opened in Google Chrome on a Windows PC. However it looks fine with Chrome on my MAC.

Jan

Web font selection issue in Muse?

Web font issue in Muse, when I load web fonts which have various weights i.e. regular and bold I an unable to select this font in any weight at all. Is anybody else experiencing this issue and has anybody got a solution?

Hi Zak
Just a quick follow-up after checking this issue at home. I opened Muse and loaded several web fonts, some of which had various weights available. I was able to select these fonts and change the weights fine. However I left Muse open and returned several hours later and found that I was unable to select any of these fonts.
So you workaround (turning Muse off and on again) certainly works but the bug is still there. FYI I am using the latest version of Muse on an iMac using Yosemite OSX. One thought, I have a screensaver set up on my home iMac, could this possibly cause this problem?
I will continue to monitor Muse on my iMac at work running on OSX Maverick to see if I get the same problem. I don’t have a screen saver set-up on this iMac as it’s never left long enough for it to start up.
This then may help determine if this is either an OSX Yosemite issue or a screen saver issue.
Kind Regards
Jeremy

Dependent Select Boxes Driven from Web Services

Here's a little tutorial that I put together that demonstrates a technique whereby a user makes a selection from a select box, triggering a web service invocation which in turn populates a second select box:

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

Web fonts for non-Roman languages

The Add Web Fonts dialog in Muse makes it easy for me to find fonts for English and other languages that use the Roman writing system. I need to find fonts for Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Thai, and possibly other systems too.
Is there a way to search for such fonts, and to preview fonts in the language in which they will be used?

no because they're not avalible, i think. if live text doesn't matter to you you can just use the fonts localy on your computer and muse will generate a picture of the text area using that non roman font. else if you know your way around code you can just replace the fonts in the css. as for writing in arabic, it'll probably have the same problem as writing in hebrew where muse might align right but you can't set a text box to a RTL direction which means that whatever you write in websafe fonts (if they even exsist, i've no idea) will display in LTR direction. which you can go on and change later in css per text box. another thing you might want to remember before writing in arabic selecting some very spesific font is that since the text boxes turn to images you won't be able to change the direction later on because it's no longer live text.
hope it helps.
