I cant read the font on my mail

When I open my email, I get a font with a capital A in a box and can't read anything. Is there a setting I could try?

Strange that it would work to clear the caches, come back in rather short order, and then not work the next time. I would have to guess the fonts are damaged.
This could be a rather annoying problem if your Mac came with Lion since restoring the fonts means reinstalling the entire OS by booting to the Restore partition. If you upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard, then this isn't as hard. Especially if you kept the downloaded OS installer.
Presuming the latter, follow the instructions at the bottom of Font Management in OS X. It explains how to open the OS X Lion installer and use Pacifist to restore just the fonts. If you didn't save the Lion installer, you can retrieve it again by going to the App Store and listing your purchased items. You'll have a Download link next to OS X Lion. What downloads is always the full install of the latest version, which at this time will be 10.7.5.
When the download completes, it will want to install right away. Press Command+Q to quit out of the installer. At this point, you have the ability to back it up to an external drive so you don't have to wait for a 4 GB download again next time you need it. The installer is in the Applications folder. After you've backed up the Lion installer, you can proceed to install just the fonts out of it. Though really, as long as it's sitting there, I'd just reinstall the entire OS.
None of the above helps if your Mac came with Lion. You're pretty much forced to use the Restore partition to do a reinstall of the OS over the Internet since I don't believe you can download the OS installer separately.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

You cannot edit PDF files with Reader. You can change the View options to make what you see smaller. View -> Zoom

How do i change the font color in mail message

I am trying to change the Font colour in Mail message to Blue as a permanent preference in Mail - Preferences. The system does not accept the settings and goes back to black. Is there a way to change the same.

The color of the font is determined by the recipient's email client. So you could change it, but it would depend on the recipient's settings.
And besides, blue is harder to read.

Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.

Cant get the font on PDF document and alignment

I cant get the font on PDF document and alignment eventhough I have margins to 0 still getting some space from the top and left side.
I have added fonts to CF Admin and restarted too still same issue. I am able to see fonts are added in CF Admin.

I suspect there is a little bit of padding between the HTML content and the edge of the PDF page. You could solve the problem by specifying the fonts and margins using the HTML style property, like this, for example:
<cfdocument format="PDF" pageType="A4" marginBottom="0" marginLeft="0" marginRight="0" marginTop="0">
<head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <style>
        body{font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:100%;margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0;}
        p{font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;font-size:14px}
    </style>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</cfdocument>

I have the same problem, have you resolved this problem?

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?

Maybe I need to try a different route. I was able to change the font settings for the general mail. I am now thinking it is a problem with Safari or the internet browser. I am seeing the bubble font only on messages that contain pictures ~ When I click to view the full message in the browser, the font changes to a readable font.

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

I started using Firefox4Betas cant read the tect when i print it out

I have started using Firefox 4 Betas and i cant read the on the web sites when i print it out.

1. There's a print-related Bug in 4.0b12 that was fixed on Monday in the Nightly's. The fix will be in the 4.0RC version in about a week and a half.
2. Using the same Profile for both 3.6.14 and 4.0beta can cause problems. Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
