Installed fonts do not work in FF, but in other browsers

I'm using Arch Linux, and the system is completely up to date. Whenever I visit a website that uses a helvectica font stack it displays in sans-serif instead of helvectica. In the picture I have Firefox on the left and google chrome on the right. Firefox is using sans-serif and chrome is using Helvetica. I just noted that Thunderbird doesn't seem to be using the same fonts as it does in Windows.

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
You can check what font is used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
Do you see those Helvetica fonts as a choice?
*Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
You can do a font test to check what fonts are detected.
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

I'm using a addon to see what fonts are requested to be used, and which is actually used. In a helvetica stack (helvetica nue, helvetica, sans-serif) it defaults to sans-serif.
I see helvetica as a choice, yes.
I visisted that site, and I see helvetica fonts, but not just standard "helvetica". I'll look for a helvetica TTF, as I think I have helvetica in another format.

Need Help! Wierd loading percentage issue does not work in IE but in other browsers it is ok, why?

Hi!
I have created a little test swf for my client and I have
encountered a wierd problem because the loading percentage text
field does not seem to function in IE 6 but the same file works
fine when viewed in Firefox and Netscape. When I test the movie
using simulate download in Flash it works well too. Is this a bug
and how can be fixed?
Please take a look online:

Thank you for any help in advance,

@font-face not working in FF, but working elsewhere.

Hey, I've been trying to get @font-face working in Firefox, but it just won't work. I'm hosting the font externally and the way I'm doing it works on other browsers. This is my code:
<body bgcolor="CA2E28" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">
<style type="text/css" media="screen, print">
@font-face {
font-family: "Blackout";
src: url(woff link is here, don't want to put it here though.);
body { font-family: "Blackout" }
</style>
<center>THIS SHOULD BE BLACKOUT.</center>
</body>

<blockquote>
Can you check to see whether Firefox is downloading the file? To do that, first open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab below your page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Web Console
* (menu bar) Tools > Web Developer > Web Console
Click the "Network" button/tab along the top of the console and reload the page. Here you can see whether Firefox is requesting the file and, if so, whether it is retrieved.
If that checks out, then click the Console tab and reload the page and watch for any error messages that might relate to the font. Anything strange?
If the font is downloading and there are no error messages, use the Inspector tab to look at the body element and see whether the style is there and is being given effect (i.e., no line-through).
If all that is good, you might double-check your personal settings to make sure you aren't overriding website fonts. Either:
* "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences > Content
Click the Advanced button and make sure you have a checkmark for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".
If all of that is good, then... it's a mystery. Have you checked Firefox on other machines or other operating systems?

Links are not working with Firefox and some other browsers

Hello,
On my site (iWeb08) I have some pictures of pieces of text as a link to another page of website.. but with some browsers the links doesn't work.
Also de links are very difficult to activate on the site.. What I mean is when you want to click the link.. you have to search with the cursor in stead of stand on the word and click to activate..
(hope that you understand what I mean, but my English is a bit difficult in English for me...)
Regards,
Jose

Jose,
It might be good to give us the link to your site so we can see for ourselves what is happening.

Hi marincastil,
Here's a document with troubleshooting steps for Webcams and Windows 8. Please let me know if it helps resolves your issue. The fact it works with all these other services has me stumped.

Firefox feedback section does not work in firefox 6 or other browsers with a more sane update schedule

I tried to post this in the feed back section but it does not appear to be working in firefox version 6.
I have been working with computers for 30 Years, used Firefox since version 1.0 recommended it through websites that I develop and for people that I work with - I am afraid that will be coming to an end unless you guys stop the nonsense.
I do not like how you assume I want a new version very 6 weeks.
There is no clear documentation of the changes for each release. I Do not have time for this – it should be simple – it’s not -
There is no way to know why my add-ons are disabled with every update. And I have a basic vanilla system with a Java Console Broken, Kaspersky URL Advisor – Broken – vendors are going to stop supporting the Firefox browser if you break their code every time there is an update – and if I was them I would – this is the second time this has been broken in 6-months.
WTF - Can't you guys just write a patch or fix a security problem without a version change and breaking everything? I want stable and secure - that appears to have stopped with Firefox version 3.6
I know it’s free but there is a ton of free software I choose not to run because it is crap -

Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

I just bought an iPad mini and installed Facebook. NOT working. Only messages, but sporadically. Anyone know what's the deal?

Installed Mavericks and latest iWorks and some fonts will not work. Strangely these fonts work in Notes and old version of Strickies. Any ideas?

It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
http://www.playonmac.com
Just try with Playonmac...
If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/
It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...

My fonts are not working correctly

Hello guys,
I noticed today that most of my added fonts are not working. I use a lot of fonts that have a cyrillic subset which were working perfectly fine till 2 days ago. Now when I select a text field and try to change the font face to one of the added fonts, it changes the font face to whichever the default font is and renders the font selection menu to blank. I am really puzzled, the fonts are installed in the Fonts folder in Windows, and they were working perfectly fine till a couple of days ago. I havent installed any Fireworks or Windows updates in the meantime. I am working in Fireworks CS5.
Cheers

I wasn't sure about my shut-down-and-restart suggestion, but I still think it might be a good idea to clear the font caches. Here are a couple links on clearing font caches for Windows and Adobe apps:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7197467_rebuild-font-cache.html
http://www.illustratorhints.com/2010/05/cleaning-your-font-cache/
You might want to supplement this with some research of your own, then give it a try.

Firefox 5 some web sites fonts are not work.

I try to visit this sinhala language web site using Firefox 5 latest version. Then that site not properly display (Fonts are not work). Then i again downloaded that web site fonts and install them. But again that web site not properly display.
If i visit that web site using "Google Chrome" or "IE" i can view that web site properly. This problem only happen for Firefox 5. Older version Firefox 4 work properly with this site.
This is that web site fonts download link -http://www.lankaenews.com/font/sinhala_tamil_fonts.zip

You can set the pref gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable downloadable fonts and make Firefox use a locally installed font.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.

you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

Is that an error 2 message?
If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened
however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
i have already added my system as trusted site
if there any others thing i miss out?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.

Pages are working fine in my loacl machine, but whn i compile pages (javacode) at server and running the pages from apps instance, pages are not working correctly. But whn I transfer the class file from local machine to server side page is working perfectly, what would be the reason.How to check the Java/JDK version
D:\>cd jdevbin
D:\jdevbin>cd bin
D:\jdevbin\bin>java -version
java version "1.3.1_01" -- Java Version on local machine
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_01, mixed mode)
On server
[apeafin19@camoraapp10 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[apeafin19@camoraapp10 8.0.6]$ pwd
/u01/oracle/eafin19ora/8.0.6
[apeafin19@camoraapp10 8.0.6]$ cd bin
[apeafin19@camoraapp10 bin]$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_12" -- Java Version on server machine
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_12-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_12-b03, mixed mode)
[apeafin19@camoraapp10 bin]$
You can see the difference of JDK installed on server and on our local machine which can be root cause of the issue
Thanks
