Inkscape is not rendering fonts

Hello,
Whether fonts are installed from pacman or manually, Inkscape is refusing to show them. I tried refreshing the caché and nothing.
Is this a general bug, just Arch or just me?

Fonts display for me. There are some text tool problems however. It sometimes takes several clicks into the drawing and reselecting the font tool for text entry to become enabled. Font faces change back to a default face upon changing focus.
Quite a few bugs with fonts have surfaced with this release: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape.

Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs

Hi,
For some reason Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs. I have created high quality PDFs using two applications (Illustrator CS5 and Numbers '09) and in both cases the fonts are not rendering correctly in Preview. They generally look much less sharp. I am attaching screenshots below, with the original image first and then the PDF in Preview.
When I look at the same PDFs in Acrobat Pro the fonts look fine, so I am presuming that the issue is with Preview. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks,
Nick

It looks like, at least in the Navigation menu, that your using Palatino font, which isn't a web safe font. So Explorer is probably substituting another font when it finds fonts not installed on the viewers computer.
You may be using the default font in a particular iWeb theme. These aren't necessarily web safe fonts.
For your pages to look better on most computers, change all your fonts to web safe fonts which you can find in the "font inspector window" in iWeb. (there is a "font" button on the bottom edge of the main iWeb window) There, you will find different categories of fonts, you want to use any of the fonts listed under "Web" group of fonts.

Slider not rendering font size of text on another page

I am using a slider to control the font size of the text. On one page, I have the slider setup as follows:
<Grid Grid.Row="3" Margin="10,4.5,0.667,0"> <Slider x:Uid="FontSlider" x:Name="FontSlider" Header="Select font size" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="165" Margin="10,40,0,0" Height="65" Minimum="16" Maximum="32" ValueChanged="FontSizeChanged" LargeChange="8" SmallChange="8" TickFrequency="4" /> <TextBlock x:Uid="SampleText" Margin="207,63,11,169" Height="45" Text="Sample text" FontSize="{Binding ElementName=FontSlider, Mode=OneWay, Path=Value}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="171" Style="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSubheaderTextBlockStyle}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/> </Grid>
The slider is behaving as expected and the content binded to it in the above textblock is also rendering properly.
However, when I try to bind the slider value to similar textblock on another page as below, the font size of the text does not change.
<TextBlock FontSize="{Binding ElementName=FontSlider, Mode=OneWay, Path=Value}" DataContext="{Binding}" Style="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSubheaderTextBlockStyle}" TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"/>
I tried this with/without Style binding, but that does not helped either. How can I fix this?

Elements on a page cannot access elements on another page. You can do the binding through a view model. The Slider value will have a two-way binding to a property in the view model. The TextBlock in the other page will bind its FontSize to that view model
property.
It might be easier if you don't use binding on the other page. When the slider value changes (ValueChanged event), save the value to a global variable. In the other page OnNavigatedTo, set the TextBlock FontSize using the global variable.

Firefox not rendering fonts [SOLVED]

I'm having this problem for some time, but it never bugged me too much. Yet, I still want to find the cause and fix this issue.
Firefox doesn't show me the correct fonts on some websites - not even on this forum. I'm using infinality patches, if that matters. There's a screenshot below showing the difference between firefox and chromium, with chromium rendering the fonts correctly.
Please advise or give me a hint. Thanks

huh! that was quick from my part: I found the issue - I had to set the presets in the infinality bundle created by bohoomil.

Some web fonts are not rendered

When I visit some sites that use web fonts, the web fonts are not rendered. It does not render with the wrong font - the text is completely invisible.
On other sites, web fonts work just fine, and I cannot understand why some web fonts work and some don't.
Examples of non-working sites:
http://blog.mailchimp.com/ (headers shown, article text missing)
https://www.sbab.se/ (huge top header missing)
http://onlinepizza.se/ (headers and button texts missing)
Examples of working sites:
http://www.google.com/fonts
http://www.typetester.org/
On the Network -> Fonts tab in the inspector, no downloads are shown on the broken sites. Is there a font cache that I can delete?
I have tried uninstalling firefox, deleting all profiles and installing it again. Nothing changes.

Works fine here on Linux.

[solved] GTK3: Fonts not rendering smoothly

Here's GTK3 app and GTK2 app side by side:
Fonts are not rendering correctly on any GTK3 app. I use Ubuntu's patched versions of freetype2, fontconfig and cairo from AUR:

How can I get GTK3 apps to render fonts correctly? I don't use any DE, just dwm as window manager.

The cairo-ubuntu from AUR had failed to build. Followed Ichigo-Roku's tip in comments and now everything works.

In the PKGBUILD you have to replace "autoreconf" by "autoreconf -fi".
Anyway, thanks for your help and sorry for taking your time.

Fonts not rendered same on iPad and Mac, Safari

Hindi fonts are not rendered the same in Safari running on iMac and iPad.
Safari on iMac works much better for Hindi, It is similar to Firefox.
Firefox works best on both Mac and PC.
Can this be fixed?

Hindi has never been supported on the iphone or ipod touch, and it is also not supported on the iPad, which uses the same OS. Apple lists the supported languages in the tech specs for these products. There is no way to change these.
To tell Apple you want Hindi added, go here:

Fonts not rendering properly. Am I missing something?

I have PS Elements 10 for Mac. I've been trying to figure out why my text is not rendering properly. I type out a word and although caps lock is OFF, the text shows up in all caps. Also, the spacing between letters is wide. I've been trying to search through help and options, but can't find anything. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong?

At the far left of the options bar is a tiny triangle. Click it and choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.

Tables not rendering correctly in Firefox

I recently switched from Dreamweaver 8 to CS4. I also
recently updated my Firefox to 3.06. I have had this website for
years, and it just started not rendering tables correctly in
Firefox. This is happening on multiple pages It works fine in IE.
http://www.wiw.uscourts.gov/bankruptcy/
Let me say up front, I know the page is antiquated (created
in Front Page) It uses tables for the layout instead of CSS. I hope
to be updating it soon, but for now I need a fix to get the pages
to work correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Becky

Excel attachment not rendering correctly in Mail but fine on iPod touch

Some attachments (most notably Excel files) that I've been receiving lately (last month or so) have not showed up correctly as attachments in Mail (currently using v. 4.4). In the list view it shows the paperclip icon but when I click on the message the preview pane shows what I assume is mime code or something. If I check the same message on my iPod touch, the attachment shows up at the bottom of the message as an attached file icon (correctly identified as an Excel spreadsheet). Suggestions?

Basic Layout not rendering correctly.

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035123''
Hello,
I've been trying to debug a problem I was noticing on my production websites, so I dumbed it down to a quick codepen to show off the issue. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GgoBNJ
Basically, standard fonts (helvetica, arial, etc.) are not rendering correctly within a div. For some reason the text is pushing itself up ~2 pixels. Not to mention, fonts are looking very jagged within the browser for no apparent reason.
I am setting up a basic div with hardly any styles and yet this produces two different renderings within FF and Chrome
.box{
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
border: 2px solid #FF5500;
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
This is causing me all sorts of headaches with designers who are trying to make layouts pixel perfect as I have zero control over something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

Colours not rendering correctly in terminal

Hi,
I have just installed Arch on my laptop, and I am getting everything setup. When I run alsamixer something goes wrong, the screenshot below speaks a thousand words.
When I use the arrow keys to change widget focus the previous widget tends to disappear all together. When I exit alsamixer the terminal is useless, typically no text is shown. The terminal does accept input however.
The problem is reproducable in both XFCE4 Terminal and xterm. My .bashrc looks like
alias ls='ls --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias grep='grep --color'
alias ll='ls -lh'
export PAGER='/bin/less'
export EDITOR='/usr/bin/vim'
export PATH=~/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PS1='\[\e[32m\]\h \[\e[0m\]\$ '
export MPD_HOST=127.0.0.1 MPD_PORT=6600
complete -cf sudo man which
Another thing to note is that the problem affects all open terminals, not just the one alsamixer was run on. Also, once in a rare while 'grep --color' can produce the same effect.

Safari not rendering Verdana

I cleaned up my fonts today when Font Book flagged several fonts were duplicates or had other problems. I removed the fonts as suggested by FB and there were no immediate problems anywhere, not even Safari.
This morning, without having logged out or restarted Safari, it is rendering what appears to be Verdana with all characters as Cap A in a box.
I checked in Firefox if those pages rendered correctly, which they did, using Helvetica. So that indicates the standard CSS selection of fonts is being applied.
If I copy the wrongly rendered fonts from Safari and paste them into TextEdit they appear as normal text, no errors.
If I go into Appearance in Safari's preferences and choose +Standard font: Verdana+ it is substituted by odd ball Unicode boxed glyphs like TM or square root in the font field.
I tried switching to Lucida Grande or Lucida Sans but the font rendering problem remains. So it looks like the Verdana it is attempting to render is somehow misapplying Unicode characters.
Safari's Default Encoding is Western (ISO Latin 1). Switching to Unicode (UTF-8) is not fixing the problem either.
I can see no way of reinstating the fonts that were disabled.
This really has me scratching my head.
Any ideas?

10th anniversary of OSX and Font handling is nearly as bad as the beginning.
Never had one problem fonts with a Mac.
"For an extensive look at font management and handling font problems in OS X, the following tutorial and FAQ by Kurt Lang is an excellent resource for anyone, but especially for those who extensively"use fonts: http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
Kurt Lang has been an Apple Discussions helper for years. He wrote the link that "baltwo" posted also.
Yes I'm aware of the contents of that link. Following some of those suggestions has got me in this situation.
I've yet to have anyone reply that the suggestions and advice given by Mr. Lang caused them any problems. You're the first.

Page not rendering in IE6

I just updated my site and I discovered that the page is not rendering in IE6 (and IE5.5, but I suppose no one uses that anymore).
All I can see is the red background color.
The link to the site is www.schudden.net.
Can anybody tell me why the page is not visible in IE6?

I use a transparant png for the footer.
I did not use any frames to construct my site, made this from a one column, fixed header and footer template in dreamweaver.
The previous site was visible in IE 6.
I actually made a whole new layout, but he content stayed the same.
When I validate in dreamweaver it gives me two errors in the css file:
Unsupported property: _position
Affects: Firefox 1.5, 2.0, 3.0; Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, 8.0b1; Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2; Netscape 8.0; Opera 8.0, 9.0; Safari 2.0, 3.0
Unsupported value: 'fixed'
Affects: Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0, 8.0b1; Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2
Perhaps this is causing the error, but I don't know how to resolve this.
There was also an error about the min-height I used. I deleted that option, but it did'n't help.
This is the source code:

/* Tips for Elastic layouts
1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.

@pziecina : the validation errors are weird, because I have a doctype in my documents.
Could this be caused by the fact that I have domainname linked to an external site (I use the free space I got from my provider, and the domainname link is forwarded to this space). Because, when I validate the original index.html file (http://members.home.nl/justme4u/index.html) it only gives me two errors.
