ITunes Store Font display problem

Hi there,
Since I've installed itunes on my XP notebook it has never displayed the titles of songs and albums correctly. The words are mixed up with small vertical characters. They looks something like this : UFO ││││││ or EXILE ││││││. Even after I upgraded to the latest version of itunes I still have this issue.

hmmmmm. could you possibly send us a screenshot of the effect? there's instructions on how to do that in the following user tip:
hudgie: Taking screenshots to help with problems
... is this hitting you just in the Music Store, or in the rest of your iTunes as well?

Itunes Store Font Display

Since upgrading to v. 9, the artist name is in a illegible font on the main page. On other pages various parts are in the same gibberish. Did I get a bad font install during the installation process?

Following this thread with interest as since updating to iTunes 9.0.0.70, the artist names and section headers in the iTunes store now look like this - http://www.stevenforbes.com/itunes.jpg.
Deleting fonts isn't a viable solution for a problem that is exclusive to iTunes 9. Performing a system restore to a date prior to the iTunes update would also be inconvenient to say the least.
I buy a fair amount from the iTunes store but won't be until this gets sorted by Apple, perhaps an update will be released shortly containing the fix.

ITunes Store Fonts?

(This is a refinement of a questions I previously asked.)
Some buttons in the Windows version of iTunes (10.5) Store are blank, i.e., no text displaying. I think this happened after I upgraded MS Office from 2003 to 2010. I'm pretty confident that when Office 2003 was installed, the screens worked properly. To further confuse the issue iTunes 10.5 was installed prior to Office 2010.
Does anyone know which fonts are used in the buttons in the "Purchase History" and "Payment Information" screens? If it is font I don't have installed then I could install it.
Thanks in advance.

FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!
Interestingly enough, in trying to solve a TurboTax 2011 installation problem I stumbled upon the solution to BOTH the TurboTax problem and the iTunes Store not displaying text problem. It seems that some MS fix package last year deleted some needed fonts. By REINSTALLING THESE FONTS, my TurboTax and iTunes Store problems were resolved.
The fonts can be found at:

This worked for me...hopefully it will work for you.

You could try this.
Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to fix jaggy font display problem?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard a few days ago and have been having font display problems ever since.
When I first upgraded, everything seemed fine, but then Word wouldn't display Arial. So, I validated fonts in Font Book and discovered a bunch of dupes. When I deactivated the dupes, that problem was resolved. But, a new problem occurred. Many of the fonts throughout various applications (Mail, Safari, Finder) appeared jaggy.
I tried playing with text smoothing and LCD font smoothing, but neither seemed to have much, if any, effect.
Then, I decided that I hadn't had a good font cleanup for several years, and maybe all the dupes and other detritus were part of the problem. So, I literally deleted all my fonts from system/library, root/library and user/library (I copied some into a .zip archive for safe keeping) and reinstalled Snow Leopard and all current updates. Then, I fixed permissions twice (though there are always permissions that won't fix) and booted into single user and did an fsck.
But, after all that, my jaggy problem still persists
It's really strange in that it appears worse at some times. And, doesn't seem to be present in all apps. Here's a screenshot from YouTube with Safari on the left (bad jaggies) and Chrome on the right (no jaggies).
I'd really appreciate some help. Any ideas?

Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
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.
This does not clear the font cache files for Word (Office), which keeps its own such items.
Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)
For Office 2011, the location is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/Office Font Cache

ITunes Store font size on 4K monitor

I just got this beautiful 4K monitor, but it had rendered the iTunes Store nearly useless. The font is so small that I have to use accessibility apps to read anything in the store.
Please let me know how I can modify this font size to something reasonable. This is just impossible to use now.

As I have come to find out, the iTunes store (or iTunes itself) needs a fix. While reducing the utlity of the monitor is an option, it's not an acceptible one. I suppose once they sell enough 4K monitors that the problem becomes more widespread they might consider fixing their product so that it works in many environments (Mac/Windows/large/small, etc).

ITunes store has script problems

when i go to the itunes store after opening iTunes, the descriptions below the album icons is in code or script instead of english. Some of the other info on the iTunes store homepage is also in code or script.
I reinstalled iTunes but it did not fix the problem.

Try this Helvetica font thing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3042
After getting rid of the Helvetica font and the itunes store working, apparently you can just drag it right back out of the recycle bin:

My Helvetica font must be OK, since I never saw this problem.

ITunes Store Song Display List-Change Back?

Is there a way to change the way iTunes Store songs are displayed in ver 9.x like they were in the older version of iTunes?
The songs are now displayed in a very small viewing window and the colums can't be adjusted to view the song data...everything is truncated.
Also, you used to be able to right-click on a song and "Get Info" about the album, song, etc.
Not a big fan of this new interface...it's very limited.

I might have a solution. I suspect Apple will delete this post if they check however. Actually I will put in a post separately, and keep this as I have a few items/problems to add:
1. I buy a lot of classical music. It no longer lists the composer, or allows me to choose what information is displayed in the headers (much less, as we know being able to size it to see all text). This makes iTunes virtually worthless to me.
2. I only upgraded after receiving a gift album, and though it said I needed version 6 or higher, and I had version 7.6, it forced me to go to the latest version (the hated 9, as far as I can tell from forums). Then it did not allow me to retrieve the gift because I am studying in the UK and it was purchased in the USA. (Note that before upgrading I could use and buy on any site USA or UK.)
So, useless information on tracks and inability to gift etc internationally, makes version 9 a big stinker for me.
I am going to try to revert to an older version. Detail to come.

ITunes Store not displaying search results on my Mac Mini

Over the past couple weeks I've noticed problems with search results not displaying in the iTunes Store on my Mac Mini. I do not have this problem on my Macbook Air or other Apple devices. I can enter an artist such "Coldplay" and all I get are audiobooks and podcasts. When I enter this same search on my Macbook, I get all the expected results--songs, albums, etc. I am running OS X 10.9 on both machines (with iTunes version 11.1.2).

Can't able to buy itunes store with several problems

As I mentioned before,
, it appears that of your devices was linked to possible unauthorized activity on the iTunes Store.
Because of this, I strongly recommend using a different device or computer to use the iTunes Store.
Additionally, it appears that your account is not in compliance with the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions, so we will not be able to resolve the error message you’ve encountered.
This is the message form apple support.
I explained them, i just bought iphone 5 second hand and started my own account and filled 200USD with itunes gift cards and i went local repair shop for my iphone 5 Home sleep mode bottom is not working. and after that, i clicked purchased a game and apple wouldn't let me, it said ( contact support ). I contacted them and explained and wait almost about 3 days their reply as i showed about that message.But i can purchase all free apps without problems but i changed my password to be secure and then i must need to verify my payment and i clicked none (because i have money in my credit store). however it said contact support. Now i am doomed , my account and my phone is useless now. Apple senior adviser strongly recommended i am better change devices to use.
What a nice recommend! I am not rich , that's why i bought second hand iphone and get doomed. if i am able to buy other devices to use , how i contact apple for wasting my time. and the next is if i sell this phone again to others, the buyers will get troubles like me. I don't also know my device was linked to possible unauthorized activity on the iTunes Store. and the next thing is my account is not compliance with itunes store terms and conditions. I set my valid US address ,but i used it from over sea. Millions of US people used to buy itunes store from oversea , why i am the only one person that getting trouble.
Please suggest me and advice me ,. I hope apple staffs saw my message
Thank you

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you were using the US store when you weren't in the US then you are violating the store's terms of use (which you agreed to) :
The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
If you were using your phone to purchase content from the US store when not in the US then that might be the unauthorised activity that they are referring to. If you contact iTunes Support and ask them to remove the balance from your account so that you can put your correct address on your account (you can't change countries whilst you have a balance) then you might be able to use the account.

Itunes store not displaying any content after updating to 10.6.1

I am running Windows 7 and just updated to Itunes 10.6.1 this morning. Now when I try to go to the itunes store there menu on the top that shows Music, Movies, TV Shows etc is displayed but the space below is just a big white blank slate. Clicking the different store areas on the menu it shows the accessing itunes store and progress bar but even when that finishes nothing ever shows up in the store.
Anyone else expierencing this?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Why is previewing songs in the iTunes Store causing a problem for me?

I don't have a problem playing music in my iTunes library or navigating around it, my problem is in the iTunes Store. If I select 'See All >' after searching for something in particlar then select a song and start scrolling down the page it becomes unresponsive. The 'time elapsed' freezes but the music keeps playing and I can move my cursor around the page but the page itself is at best unbelievably slow to respond and at worst completely unusable until the preview ends. The CPU usage rises to around 30% and stays at about that, fluctuating slightly, until the music stops. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and the programs that come with it and reinstalling them all but that was a waste of time.

Hello dazw724,
Thank you for providing the details of when iTunes becomes unresponsive. I found an article with steps you can take to isolate and troubleshoot an issue like this:
