Greek fonts no longer display

In previous versions of FireFox all the Greek fonts on a website I use quite often were always displayed. Now I see that there are no Greek font displayed - just gibberish. This problem also occurs in the Opera Browser. However, they display just fine in Google Chrome. FireFox is my default browser so I hope you can help solve this problem. Thank you.

That is a Symbol font. It works for me on Linux (0x00-0x7f only), but may not work on Windows.

Fonts no longer display in iTunes

After updating iTunes, fonts no longer display in iTunes and a few other places. Fix ideas?

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

Some Language fonts no longer display correctly

I have a few language fonts, specifically Russian and Church Slavonic, which I have been using for years without any problem. They still partially display correctly, but there are some characters which display a different character now. For instance, in the Church Slavonic font, there are many characters with diacritical markings, where those accents etc. are typed after the character and backed up over the character. They are not displaying correctly anymore. Plain Russian fonts as well have certain characters that aren't even recognized now. I am using PopChar Pro, and though they display correctly in its list, when I click on them, the wrong character is display in the text. Does this have something to do with Unicode? I use these fonts mostly in MS Word and Finale.
Thanks for any help on this topic.
Sima

Yes, it is true that these fonts do not display
correctly in Finale.
Last I checked Finale could not do Unicode, so it may be another problem. If it can do Unicode, you should be able to use Lucida Grande and the Russian keyboard layout. If not, you should be able to use a font with CY after the name with the Russian keyboard. You might want to ask in the Finale forums:
http://forum.makemusic.com/
Is there any sort of application
that can fix old fonts to be Unicode compatible?
It would be very complex I think and require an expensive font editing program like FontLab.
On another note, are you aware of whether Unicode
includes Church Slavonic (I suppose it would be in
the same category as Old Slavonic)?
Yes, it does. Just look at the Cyrillic block in Character Palette. Or here:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf
However you won't find all glyph variations -- that will depend on the font. For an example of Slavonic Unicode you can see the last item on this page:

Google fonts no longer display in FF 35

Hi all,
Earlier this week my fonts in Google Docs stopped displaying properly - sometimes I'll get the message to try reloading the page but it doesn't work. They show up in the Document as one uniform font (Arial?) instead of Limelight & Unlock to name a couple.
The fonts do show up in my Chrome Browser.
I've tried clearing the cache & re-updating FF, to no avail.
Is this a bug or is Firefox about to update again?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Firefox 4 no longer displays "Arial Black" as a font-family in CSS.

Display Greek font in design view

Hi, i have recently reinstalled DreamweaverMX on my Mac.
The mac is running OSX 10.4.6 and some things are different
now after the installment of DMW
I am struggeling with the greek font.
In my previously made sites I had no problem with displaying
the font in either code view or design view.
Now, opening the previously made files, they do not display
the Greek. neither in code view or designview. i get capitals with
dots on the top.. recognise that?
Does anybody know how to get this done properly for once and
for all?
Unicode and UTF8 ? everywhere.. preferences 'fonts' and 'new
document'
Central European?
I have been trying some stuff but it didn't work out.
Maybe I need to Quit and restart Dreamweaver? I thought that
wasn't necessary.
With the mac I can change from english to greek with a
keyoption. So that's not really the problem.
Hope someone can be of help!
Best,
Miki

Miki
you may have noticed I have the same problem - see FTAO Micha
and another
from me.
Micha has pointed me towards using UTF-8 but I still have a
problem (short
of redoing template I think but still need more
investigation).
What I am doing at the moment is typing in design view
although this is far
from satisfactory as it is bloated code and produces eg
Ε
see www.leroscafedelmar.com/food.html
I will sort this out within the next few days as I cannot
continue doing it
this way.
So this is really just a sympathy post (o:

Mail icon no longer displays unread message count

The mail icon in my dock no longer displays the number of unread messages. Is there a fix for this?

You’ve probably either disabled or removed a font that Mail needs to work properly (e.g. Helvetica):

Some fonts do not display or print

Some of my fonts (that were working fine) no longer display or print properly after upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.3). They worked fine in 10.6.8. Most of the ones that do this are TrueType fonts. I ran "validate font" and it showed no errors. Is there a way to fix this (other than buy all new fonts)?

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, proceed as below.
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Reboot and test.

In OS 10.6 and Safari 6, http: and https: are no longer displayed.

In OS 10.6 and Safari 6, http: and https: are no longer displayed.
Can this behaviour be restored??
In 10.5.8 with Safari 5.x some sites will show up as https: while the same
site in Safari 6 may, or may not, show the grey or green box https: box.
Is this this a certificate problem?
Can I set the address bar to for the URL prefix?
I have both systems on separate disks and consistantly see this behaviour on some sites.
How can I feel assured that a site is or is not secure using Safari 6??
A relative also shares this same issue
Thanks for your Help!

Safari 6 : http is not shown in the URL (& Search combined) bar, but https is always shown, often with a symbol lock. The URL address font is black, after the / it is grey.
All as expected.
Best.

Greek font word for mac 2011?

I have been attempting to download a greek font with diacritics. I have been using Ismini, which worked with word 2008, but the symbol function no longer supports the diacritics. Help would be appreciated!

There is no need to download any font for this. You just use the Greek Polytonic keyboard layout provided in system preferences/language & text/input sources and type away.
It looks to me like ismini is a non-standard font that maps greek characaters to Latin. I strongly recommend you move from that to the Unicode standard used by OS X and all modern computers, and for which fonts are already installed.

Hi Scottie
What Colum proposed is the standard answer we have been giving for years and presently it's likely the best approach.
However, Adobe does listen to their customers. And I've seen this particular issue cropping up time and again through the years. So I'm going to suggest to you that you and everyone else wanting to see some changes here consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for a new capability. Ask Adobe to devise a way to allow the user to print in the manner you are seeking.

Font won't display or print following upgrade to Reader 9

Since "upgrading" the other day to Reader 9, Monotype Corsiva will no longer display or print on my .pdf documents. I had no problems with the font displaying or printing prior to then. I tried copying the font and pasting it in the Fonts folder, but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

I'm having exactly the same kind of problem. I downloaded
Adobe Reader 9 and i havent used Monotype Corsiva before,
but for my projekt it is simply vital ;/
Looking forward for any help solving the problem

Embedded fonts no longer work

My website uses embedded fonts and in all previous versions of Firefox those fonts are correctly displayed. In Firefox 5 these embedded fonts are no longer displayed.

Tim,
I think both issues you're seeing are the same problem, as I believe the htmlText property uses the TextFieldHTML filter. But I haven't been able to reproduce either issue yet.
When I set htmlText using the same font as I specified on the stage (or I omit the font tag entirely) I'm seeing antialiased text. If I use a font in the markup that's different than what I specified on the stage I'm getting a fallback font that's antialiased. The fact that I get a fallback font (even when I specify a font I have installed) suggests to me that it's still trying to use an embedded font after the htmlText property is set.
What happens for you if you do not have a font tag in your HTML? If that looks better there may be a mismatch between font names between the markup and embedding.

Cfgrid html values/valuesdisplay no longer displaying after update

Our current system is CF8 (8.0.1 with latest cumulative update 4), MS SQL server. The cumulative update was installed last week and I just discovered that the HTML cfgrids that we use no longer function correctly. All the cfgridcolumns that use values="some values" valuesdisplay=" some values" no longer display more than the initial value set (one value when dropdown appears). These cfgrids work on our development server which was also updated with latest cumulative update as well. I have tried deleting the update, installing the patch for cfgrid error, re-installing the cumulative update, overwriting the ext and css files with our development files. Nothing has corrected the issue.
hot fix tried:
"HTML grids may display improperly in coldfusion 8.0.1 with drop-downs not displaying all items (ID 71630)."
example:
<cfform name="makeAdmin" format="html" style="z-index: 300003; font-size:12px;" timeout="60" method="post" height="700" width="900">
<cfinput type="hidden" value="TRUE" name="btnSubmit">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="edit" value="true" />
               <cfgrid name="makeGrid" format="html" style="z-index: 300003;" query="makeQuery" rowheaders="no" width="270" height="500" insert="yes" insertbutton="Insert New Row" deletebutton="Delete Row" delete="yes" selectmode="edit" colheaderbold="yes">
                <cfgridcolumn name="makeID"
                    header="rowID"
                    width="0"
                    headeralign="center"
                    headerbold="Yes"
                    select="no"
                    display="no"
                    >
                <cfgridcolumn name="make"
                    header="Make"
                    width="150"
                    headeralign="center"
                    headerbold="Yes"
                    select="yes"
                    display="yes"
                    >
                <cfgridcolumn name="active"
                    header="Active"
                    width="100"
                    headeralign="center"
                    headerbold="Yes"
                    select="yes"
                    display="yes"
                    values="True,False"
                    >
              </cfgrid>
<cfinput align="middle" name="submitButton" value="Commit Updates" type="submit">
</cfform>
All the 'active' column dropdown displays is the value returned from the query.
This occurs on cfgrids that are bound to cfc's or grids with query="" . The value displayed in dropdown is the one returned from query, the rest of list does not display.
Can anyone help me? What folders/files control the html cfgrid?

Thank you for the response, I didn't see that there was a newer hotfix released afterwards that I hadn't tried. Unfortunately since I didn't have time to wait for a solution I was forced to change my code and remove the inline updateable grids. I'm not sure I trust them enough now to try again later, but if the occassion arises I may attempt again.

Greek Fonts in InDesign

I use an Apple iMac with OS 10.5 Leopard. I do have Greek fonts available and they work well with MS WORD and other software. BUT .... they will NOT work with InDesign CS3. I can't type Greek letters directly on an InDesign page. Also, I can't successfully Copy/Paste from a WORD document containing Greek letters. This is a very serious handicap for writing anything related to math or science since Greek letters are so widely used as math and science symbols. Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem? Thanks in advance for help. Carl Thomas

> I do have Greek fonts available and they work well with MS WORD and other software. BUT .... they will NOT work with InDesign CS3. I can't type Greek letters directly on an InDesign page. Also, I can't successfully Copy/Paste from a WORD document containing Greek letters.
In what way do they not work? What happens when you input or paste Greek?
See the illustrated materials that follow below.
NOTE .... these illustrations were missing from my initial query. All of these included images were originally .png format - - "clipped" from my computer screen. The text, however, is the same as initially.
Are you getting missing font messages? What Greek fonts are you using?
No error messages of any kind. Just the "little squares" that you will see in the third illustration below. ........... I'm not adequately knowledgeable about the font business to know "what kind" of fonts these are. My only knowledge is as illustrated below.
This works well with MS WORD also. To get this Greek font, I used the following. All these fonts ... plus lots more ... are available originally with my iMac.
When I Copy/Paste that short material from Text Edit over into InDesign CS3, I get the following. Lots of little squares where the Greek letters should be. I get the same results if I try to type directly into InDesign. ....... Incidentally, I have no problems with typing the other languages and special fonts into InDesign.
INCIDENTALLY ........ I am able to "get around" this problem in a slow and ponderous manner. .... select Special Characters below...... it would be much more convenient to use a keyboard typed input as with the other languages.
and then select from various displays as below. Example: the lower right corner offers the equivalent of the Greek letter phi .... but as an object that can be copied and inserted, rather than as a letter that can be typed.
Thanks for your initial responses. I hope someone can suggest some way to handle the Greek letter typing inyo InDesign in the same way that I can do the Greek letter typing into Text Edit and into Word.
Have a very good week end.
