Installed photoshop, now all fonts look strange

Hey everyone,
I installed photoshop and now my safari pages look crazy. The font is different and smaller, everything seems slightly zoomed out, and changing setting in safari preferences hasn't changed anything.
HELP!

Clear the font cache files from the system.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Itunes is displaying in Japanese , all th fonts look strange. Just upgraded

    Athlon Windows XP
    Just upgraded to 7.02 and all text looks strange and music looks to be for the Japan market and price of download in in Yen. All my setting in iTunes are for English.
    What can I do?

    ME TOO!
    At first I thought it was cute, "oh look now I can listen to cool J-pop bands like Bump of Chicken and BoA", but it won't go away. Where is my itms that I know and love.
    And who wants to pay up to 200 yen for a song? That's like two dollars.
    Plus I can't read Japanese.
    Is everyone's iTunes like this right now?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Mac - All fonts look jagged and pixely

    HI,
    I have the problem that all fonts look jagged and pixely when using Photoshop Elements 8 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. I am using the right image size 300dpi and so forth. Interestingly enough this only happens in Photoshop. If I repeat the procedure in Pixelmator everything is normal.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions.

    Are you simplifying the font layer and then making it larger? Can you explain exactly, step by step, what you're doing?

  • All fonts look awful

    New Mac Mini. Mac OS X Leopardo di Snowio latest update.
    Using 1080p, on a 1080p monitor.
    *All fonts look awful*
    System font (top bar, finder, everywhere) Safari as well. Everything.
    Fonts look pixelated.
    Didn't do any font change myself (removed nothing).
    Is it due to the install of Final cut xpress / Aperture ?
    Could it be the install of a Brother Laser printer?
    Thanks for your help.
    NB All graphics at the bottom / everywhere look perfect. Only fonts is the problem.

    I think your font smoothing may be messed up a bit. That happened to some people when when upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. From the picture you posted, it appears the fonts are a bit more jagged than they should be. Here are the instructions I copied from another Mac Web site a long time ago. They aren't mine but I have used them successfully.
    If you’ve got an LCD panel that you think looks worse than it did before upgrading to 10.6, you can try this fix to see if it makes things better. How? Just open Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities) and paste this command, then press Return:
    defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
    The 2 at the end is equivalent to the old “Medium - Best for flat panel” setting in 10.5. You can also use 1 for light smoothing, and 3 for strong smoothing. This change will only affect newly-opened applications—anything already running will have to be restarted to see the affect of the changes. As such, you may want to experiment with a document in Text Edit, trying the three alternatives, and then after you find the one you like best, rebooting your Mac (so that it will take effect system wide).
    Note that if you go back into the Appearance panel and toggle the font smoothing setting, you will override your manually-set value—so don’t do that if you value your newly-smoothed fonts.

  • Installed Photoshop, Now Safari Looks Weird (small fonts, odd spacing)

    Hey everyone,

    HELP!

    Hi Fortune317--Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    We're other Mac users here, asking questions and sharing solutions.
    Can you take a screenshot, upload it to a photo sharing site (Photobucket or Skitch, yfrog, etc.)
    and then post the URL for it here?
    You've got a font conflict. You could open up you Font Book application in the Applications folder, and look for that font via the samples.

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?
    Cheers. Don
    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • Since I installed Helvetica Black, all fonts display in bold, but when I uninstall it, they're fine again.

    I've seen many other people having issues with all fonts displaying in bold with the latest Firefox update. For me, the update did nothing, but when I installed Helvetica Black to my computer, many fonts on the web show up in bold where they shouldn't.
    I have no problems with any of my other Helvetica weights being installed, just Black.
    As a graphic designer, I want to have the font, but I also want to see all the websites with the fonts they intended to use, rather than a default font. Is there any kind of add-on or fix I can use so that I can keep websites in their own fonts, AND have Helvetica Black installed?
    Other details:
    I have the latest Firefox.
    I'm on Windows 7.
    4 of my Helvetica weights are fine, the Black is not.

    Hi there - I'm having similar bold text issues with a customer's instance of Firefox 5.0.1 running on Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1 on a Lenovo laptop. There are two issues to be exact:
    # text that is supposed to be normal weight appears bold
    # some text has an incorrect amount of spacing (padding/margin) around it
    These symptoms appear only on this one machine and appears to be fine in Firefox 5.0.1 across at least 3 other machines running Win 7 as well as all other browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari) we've tested in across a variety of platforms.
    I've attached an image with a side-by-side comparison of the normal view next to the broken view as it appears on this specific machine.
    I've tried unchecking the hardware acceleration option and restarting Firefox - did not work.
    I've also tried running Firefox in Windows XP compatibility mode (as suggested here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/how-to/repair-the-google-and-gmail-bold-font-issue/) - did not work.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way to install Photoshop without all the crap?

    I noticed when installing the Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial, even if you check only the bare minimum number of checkboxes, it will still install tons of...crap.
    e.g. Bridge, Camera Raw, Camera Raw Profile, Dynamic Link Media Server (seriously, does this sound like something anyone would want installed on their computer?), Extend Script Toolkit, Switchboard, etc.
    Is there anyway to uninstall all that stuff?

    Whoa man, calm down; relax. Why is this a most unfortunate first post? It's a serious and legitmate question. You're taking it as if I asked it to offend people.
    I do use Photoshop for purposes that Illustrator might be better suited for, but that's my decision; and anyways, I'm more familiar with Photoshop.
    The reason I dislike these certain parts is because I don't like having uncessary stuff installed on my computer, and I certainly don't want unecessary stuff running at start-up
    ...Which is exactly why I did infact disable those start-up entries and manually delete the stuff mentioned — namely, Bridge, Dynamic Link Media Server, etc. — from "Program Files" etc. And no, I did not break Photoshop or anything else (if it does break, you will be the first to know); so yes, I know perfectly well what I'm doing. I don't see how you managed to assume otherwise based off my first post.
    So I asked this question in the first place because I was genuinely wondering if there was a more official way to remove that stuff (as opposed to manually deleting them). Obviously now I know there isn't, but would it have been so terrible if there was? It wouldn't hurt anyone (certainly not you), but people who didn't want something called "Dynamic Link Media Server" installed on their computer would only benefit. Obviously that's not happening anytime soon, but hey, if I knew that, I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
    Thank you for your insightful and not-at-all-condescending response.

  • Safari Problem with All Numbers Look Strange

    All of the numbers accept for the Apple website look odd. I have taken a screenshot of the issue, but I'm not sure how to post it. The numbers are in individual boxes separated by dashes. Similar to old clocks with the flipping numbers. Software updates are all up-to-date. Any help would be great before I take it in to the Mac store.

  • ITunes 7 installed and now all my songs are skipping

    I am using Windows 2000, service pack 7. I have installed the latest version so I can use the new NIKE + IPOD features. After installing/uninstalling reinstalling etc. my songs will not stop skipping. I have tried everything including all suggestions from this forum. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions?

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact.

  • Forced to install Firefox now all of my info is missing

    Forced to install the new version of FireFox, to which I did not want to do. Now my files are no longer complete including my
    WP blog I was working on.
    Received a message that several of my file including my HP printer may not work with this new version. Please send me the older version of FireFox so that I can re-install it.
    I the present time, I am having enough problems trying to correct my own mistakes, I just do have the time to start over again learning how to use a new browser. Show me how to restore the older version.

    Hi,
    I was working on a WP blog and it just popped up stating that my browser was out of date. I then click the upgrade and from that point on, I am having all kinds of problems on a blog that I have been working on since 6:30 A.M. this morning.
    Now, while working on Smooth Slider and the same blog ...I found that some of my work has been lost, the left side of my Dashboard is not showing up at all.
    I don't have a clue what has happened!.
    Thanks,
    Chaney

  • Can't re-install Photoshop, all other programs from Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (DVD) installed successfully.

    My iMac crashed and once I recovered it I re-installed all my software including my Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (DVD) but Photoshop simply won't install after 3 or 4 attempts. After the lengthy installation process I get a huge error message on Photoshop which I am pasting below. How can I finally install Photoshop? All my other programs are working. Help is much appreciated. Many thanks.
