IBook all in bold?

I downloaded The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbø with Apple's iBooks a few nights ago and I noticed that the text feels less "clean" and harder to read than other iBooks. Switching fonts doesn't help. After comparing it with the previous novel in the series it would seem that the entire text of The Devil's Star is being rendered in bold. Has anyone else noticed similar problems before with other titles?
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate:
In addition I don't think the black background is supposed to be there on this page...

Managed to get in touch with the publisher who has uploaded an amended version. All is now fixed.

  • Font formatting all in Bold

    Every time I use Safari, or any other web browser on my mac, when I go to my yahoo mail or search on Google, the font formatting is all in bold. I don't know how to change this. Any ideas?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
    Click the Select button next to: Standard font. Try a different font.

  • Why are several Apple apps crashing after update to IOS5? Safari, Appstore and iBooks all crash Frequently :-(

    Sine I updated to IOS 5.0.1 my iPad(version 1) crashes quite often.
    Especially when using Safari, Ibooks and Appstore.
    It is quite frustrating and I have  feeling that there are memory leaks.
    Would be good to know if Apple are working on these problems.

    Well, I have an iPad 2 3G 32GB end I can say ios 5 is PERFECT, really never seen an appstore app crashing!(200 apps + games installed), the only system app crashing sometimes is Safari, very rarely.
    Os works very fast, notification center is awsome, the battery is good.
    Its perfect!
    iOS 5 on the iPad 1 of ipad different story, AppStore apps crashing all the time, settings apps crashing, reminders crashing. bad Battery 3-4 h! VERY slow.Rubbish!
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, the old ipad its slow end crashes, and so, if you want better, you upgrade.

  • My default fonts are all in Bold in most software now. How do I fix this?

    So I installed in a large batch about 1,000 some fonts. I found my old font collection and got WAY to excited. Now however, most applications (Safair, TextEdit, Mail) chose to use a bold verison of Arial instead of regular Arial and when I change the default to specifically detail regular Arial it instead chooses a random font, I don't even remember the name of.
    I've tried messing around in FontBook, turning things off and on..... but then I don't have Arial and every single webpage anywhere uses Arial as a default and so the usability is all off.
    Any suggestions?

    At least one of the fonts you installed is causing a font conflict. Very common with free fonts. A handful (by percentage) of free fonts are well made. The vast majority are less than useless.

  • Is the newer (the one that comes standard with bb bold 9790) operating system available to all BB bold 9700?

    I've had a replacement BB Bold 9700 for a while now and only just found this forum, anyway at the moment it has the standard 9700 software (the one where it is just the five icons at the bottom of the home screen, and then you can press the bb logo and you get a dark screen with all the icons accessable on) but loads of my friends who have the BB 9700 have the newer software (I think that's the word, the one where it has the icons at the bottom but you can scroll through them sideways with things like frequent, media, etc and then you can expand each one of them upwards) but I haven't been able to figure out anyway for me to get mine to update to that. I have searched everything I can, I have the desktop software and everything but it says there are no updates available for my phone, adn when I go on the internet on my bb looking for updates to the system it still finds nothing... any ideas/is it just not possible to update on some BB 9700s? Thank you, Sarah

    Ok, I did the thing where you can then choose your service provider and then it gives you a lit of the software, I chose to download the 6 one and it saves ine adn then does its instally thing (but not ure what exactly it is trying to install and to what) and then it's like restart your computer now for changes to take effect, so I restarted and thought then when I loaded the desktop software it mght finally update it but no, made absolutely no change, what am I doing wrong/how do I make it work? I know now for sure it's definitely available!!!

  • Cannot connect ibook, all else is fine

    I have the new Extreme base station (N). I have my iMac C2D, mini G4, AppleTV, iPhone and Lenovo C2D notebook (my corporate provide notebook) all connected to my wireless network. I cannot get my wife's old ibook G3 to connect at all. I could get it to connect to my old Linksys router though. The setting are:
    802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    automatic
    WPA2 Personal
    The G3 only gives me the option for WEP, WEP 40 and LEAP passwords. If I change the wireless to a "closed network", I can select a WPA2 personal password but it rejects the password.
    Any thoughts?????

    The original 802.11b AirPort card in the iBook G3 can NOT connect to a WPA2 protected network.
    The iBook G3 can connect to a WPA protected network.

  • RH9: Mapped to Styles in a .dotx; All My Bolding is Reversed (?!)

    Text assigned my normal style has bold formatting assigned. But the style itself doesn't call for bold. Also, things that were supposed to be hold (e.g., GUI elements) now are no longer bold!
    If I select a paragraph with this odd bolding, Word says it has the normal style assigned. But if I highlight the paragraph, and then assign the normal style again, the bold goes away and all seems well.
    I can fix this stuff manually, I guess, but there has to be a better way. What am I doing wrong?

    Peter, thanks for replying. Had a weekend and a high-priority project in there, so I'm getting back to this now.
    Just in case I explained this a little poorly, my Word template (the .dotx I used to map in RH9) has no bold formatting assigned to the normal style. When viewing the properties of the normal style In the Word document created by RH9, the normal style still has no bold formatting. It seems the normal text in the RH9-created document has bold formatting assigned in-line. If I highlight the paragraph and reapply the normal style, the text appears normally. I had a few words in the .dotx template that were bolded via the toolbar icon. Per Colum McAndrew's suggestion, I created a bold character style and assigned that as needed. I did the same for the .css in RoboHelp (and one for italic and one for boldItalic in both the .dotx and the .css). He thought the inline bold formatting could be to blame. After stripping that forced formatting and using character styles instead, the normal text in the RH-created doc still shows up with bold formatting assigned.
    I am using Word 2010. I tried it as a .dot; no effect. The template is indeed mine; I've torn it apart and can't find anything suspect. When creating the print version of a document with the style mapping template supplied by RH, all appears correctly, i.e., there's no incorrect bolding anywhere.
    I just realized that when using my template, I am mapping the .css' Body Text style to my .dot/x's Normal style. Could that be fouling things up?

  • The fonts all turned bold even in sites and even in mails for read and unread mails.

    When I visit any sites, the fonts on my browser turns bold. Even when in my e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail), my read and unread mails/messages are both in bold. Why? What Should I do?

    Such an error can indicate a problem with a missing or corrupted font.
    You can try to run the System File Checker program to see if that fixes it.

  • I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4.  What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new.  We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

    To good citizens of the MAC world,
    I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam.  A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam.  Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-)  I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password.  I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side.  Please help. I have the original OS disk.  Thank you so much.

    There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
    Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561?viewlocale=en_US
    Good luck with it.

  • All my books just disappeared from IBooks. How do I get them back?

    I was in the middle of reading a book, left it to check something else, and when I went back into IBooks, all of my books had disappeared. Everything is blank.

    You can try a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
    Any books purchased from Apple can be redownloaded.

  • All Mail messages remain bold

    New iPad mini-mail messages are all bold. I tried the Edit button but the only options are Flag or mark as unread. It's as if it thinks the messages are read but ALL messages look the same, all with bold headings.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Formatting lost importing Pages to iBooks Author

    I having a problem importing a text file from Pages '09 to iBooks Author maintaining some formatting.
    My Pages document has some text in bold and some in bold and italics in addition to normal text.  Everything is in Arial font in Pages.
    When I import the document into iBooks Author all the bold italic text shows up as normal text.  About 75% of the bold only text shows up as bold and the rest as normal.  When the bold words are in the middle of other text, the bold format is maintained.  When the bold text is at the start of a line it shows up as bold or normal after the import. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Check the styles in use on the Pages side versus the styles applied on the iBA side....
    Test to see if they are reliably honored....

  • Problems previewing InDesign CS5.5 exported EPUBs in Apple iBooks, on an iOS device.

    I have EPUB Creation problems when I use my InDesign CS 5.5 document from my first EPUB book, as a template to create my other two EPUB books.
    My customer gave me a job that forced me to learn how to do EPUBs – and I'm still learning.  I created three books in Design CS 5.5, for fixed page PDF, with interactive table of contents and for exporting to a regular EPUB, with auto-reflow formatting and automated table of contents. These books were not created for print. 
    After I created the first one and successfully exported to an EPUB, that previewed fine in free Adobe Additions, I used the first InDesign CS 5.5 document as a template to create the other two publications.  These books were around a hundred pages, or less, with little or no placed jpeg images except on the three books' covers, so I did not create a Book.indb for each publication.  Each book is completed in single InDesign files with their own unique front cover art on their first page.
    When my customer previewed the three books on his iPad, in iBooks, all three books show the cover of the first book, when you see them on the iBooks library shelf.  Then when you open them, you see the correct cover for that specific book and the correct interior pages.
    When I open each InDesign file and open the File Information tabbed dialog, I have a different document title entered for each of the three different books.  When I export to EPUB, the EPUB Export Option dialog pops up and I have selected "Include Document Metadata."  I entered the Publisher name and a separate Unique Identifier for each book, when I export.
    After I emailed the three EPUBs to my iPod Touch, all three showed up in my iBooks library but when you see them on the library shelf they have the first book's cover on all three.  So I have a redundant cover preview on the library bookshelf icons, in the iBooks app, running in Apple iOS.
    I have two books by Elizabeth Castro about Creating EPUBs with InDesign.  I'm going to read them some more, especially the part about preparing your EPUB for Apple iBooks, on iOS.  But, I thought I would share my problem here to see if anyone has a solution for me.  Thanks.

    I often end up answering my own questions but I will do so again, this time, so that others can learn.  When you are exporting to EPUB in InDesign CS 5.5, an EPUB Export Options diolog appears.  Under "EPUB Cover," select "Use Existing Image file" and choose the actual file that was used on on the first page of the InDesign document, for the new book's cover.
    This feature can cause inbedded human error if you use a completed Indesign book as a template to create other books because even though you placed a new cover at the beginning of the book, the Export options still has the cover file selected for the previous book you worked on.
    I actually got the answer to my problem with the InDesign Help Menu, when InDesign CS 5.5 is launched.

    Start by removing the inline styles from your HTML code.  You've got quite a few of them.
    <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000; font-size: 20px;"></span>
    CSS styles belong in your style sheet.
