IWeb site not displaying fonts well in MS Explorer

I have just published my site, created on iWeb, to the internet. It looks great in Safari and on the iPad, but the fonts come out very strange on Explorer: thin and sort of pixilated. Any suggestions for a fix?
My site is: www.catholiccougs.org

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.

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

Page not displaying in Safari and Internet explorer but showing up in Mozila

Hi,
I bought this pre-made template which I would like to use for my website. When I upload it to my website and try to open the pages like "Contact us", "News", "Team members" and so on, they are not displaying in Safari and Interner Explorer, but they DO show up in Mozilla. Also, the pages I created myself do show up in all browsers. I really need to fix this problem as I already put a lot of effort to create my web site and now it is not working online. I would really appreciate some help. Here is the link to the original template:

Thanks,
Anne

The tag should read "myself" (no quotes) not "_self".

For cross OS browser compatibility (and no "embed" tag code) you should consider using javascript:

With all of my skills I could not get your "hotspot" to open a new html page:

Enbedded pictures on AOL email will not display, yet does on Internet Explorer?

Enbedded pictures on AOL email will not display, yet does on Internet Explorer?

If you increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at the NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level extension.
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Used SEO tool for iWeb now site not displaying properly on iPhone....

Hello!
I used the SEO tool for Iweb for my site and it;s displaying perfectly on my macbook but when I look at it on my iphone it's a mess... No background, no header, can't change pages etc....
HELP!
Thanks in Advance.

So the problem occurs when you use that application.
Does the problem occur when you do not use that application?
If not, then SEO Tools is the problem and iWeb is not involved.

IWEB, web site not displaying to scale on the iPAD ?

my web page has been created and is maintained using iWEB, I have found the web page does not display scaled correctly when accessed using an iPAD>?

Your website displays fine on an iPad. The problem is the word "Scubabitz" which is overflowing the content area in iOS.
You have used the Impact font for this and, although it is websafe, it is not supported in iOS for some reason. The browser is substituting a fallback font which renders larger than Impact for the same font size setting.
You need to reduce the font size until it renders OK on an iPad or use another font.
Here's a comment about Impact from an article about which fonts NEVER to use on a website...
"Impact is the standard choice for office handouts and amateur mailing list items, and it should never be used for a professional logo or public document. Avoid it, and opt for a wider font for your headlines."

Firefox not displaying fonts correctly

I'm trying out iweb and a .mac site for displaying my photographs. However I change the font to what I want in iweb and the page looks ok, but when I view it in Firefox the fonts are bold and thick and quite ugly. Doesn't happen in Safari, but I don't use Safari much, I prefer Firefox.
Is it a Firefox issue or an iweb issue? What can I do to get the style I want on my website?
Any ideas would be great thank you.

I do know that firefox does not do shadowed effects among a few others. I inquired about it a few months ago and they said that they just don't support effect like that currently. They do have a message board, you should ask about it.
For example: Check this site out on both browsers... Quite a difference! http://777developmentgroup.com/Home.html

Iweb site not showing up in firefox version 3.0

i recently published my iweb site to a folder and put it up on a hosting site, it used to be at .mac, but well...
anyway the photo album part of the pages is not showing up in the firefox at my work: 3.0
but it works fine in safari...
any suggestions?
www.thebeautyseeker.com

I'm having the same problem. I just published a blog with photo pages, but the photos do not load using Firefox 3.0. They show just fine using Safari. I've not tried it yet with Explorer, but friends who have logged in have not complained about not seeing the photos, so I suspect the problem is specific to Firefox.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Https sites not displaying correctly

Here's an interesting problem thats cropped up on a couple of machines here. Hopefully someone else has found the cause!
The problem is that some HTTPS sites are not displaying correctly. We have seen this with vimeo, and with wetransfer. I have included a screenshot of the issue on both safari and on chrome.
Cross checks i've been able to verify:
another machine with the same OS (10.8.5) looking at the same sites is fine and another running 10.9.4 is not, so this appears not to be OS or browser version related.
this does not happen in a different user account on the same machine, so the issue appears to be in the user home.
this happens across all browsers in this user account. so it appears to be a supporting technology or cache going wrong rather than a specific browser.
I have emptied the user preferences, and cache folders with no change.
Clearly i can sidestep this by creating a new user home, but that isn't actually getting to the bottom of what is going wrong, and it would be better to identify the issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why is Preview not displaying fonts correctly?

Since the last Snow Leopard upgrade, Preview is not displaying some fonts correctly. I checked to see if the fonts were embedded in the PDF (by resorting to Adobe Acrobat 5... which is not displaying them correctly either) and they are True Type with Windows encoding which as far as I know Preview OS X should be able to handle.
I tried deleting the Preview preferences in User/Library/Prefeerences and restarting but this made no difference. The same PDF works perfectly though on an old iMac that is running OS X Tiger!!!

Well I found a few minor font problems which seem to have cropped up since the last system upgrade, but none of those were the font in question. Also, as I understand it, the whole point of PDF documents is that the fonts are embedded in the document so you do not have to have the fonts installed on your computer to view the PDF properly. I use a lot of special fonts and when I save documents as a PDF I can send them to anyone on the internet and they can usually see everything as it is meant to be.

Firefox not displaying fonts and sizes properly

In firefox the fonts are not displaying properly they are either bold or small and bold some text is displayed normally but most is not most is either really small or bold. This is also the case for IE, im on windows 7 running latest versions. However Chrome, Opera and Safari all display correct fonts and sizes it is just firefox and IE that are affected. And yes everything from font size to page size is at default so please dont reply with zoom in and out thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply. Not sure which one of these worked nothing changed until I restarted firefox.
You can try different default fonts.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.
Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
But it is back to how it was thank you very much!

InDesign CS5.5 does not display fonts correctly

InDesign CS5.5 does not display Futura fonts correctly. I have removed all versions of Futura from FontBook on my Mac (running Mac OSX 10.7.4) but CS5.5 - Indesign, Illustrator & photoshop - still displays Futura as being open but only InDesign does not display the font correctly. The font displays correctly when I open InDesign CS4 and all other versions of Illustrator and Photoshop. I really need to use this font. What's going on with InDesign?

In your first screen shot , there are 2 futura font ,one is Adobe Type 1 font and the second one is True Type, you might have installed both the type of the font on your computer sometime. Now you have removed all the futura font and it is still showing in the Indesign , also the same thing happened with the Minion Pro , seems to me the font cache is not updating.
First remove the Adobe Font cache's file:-
         At the Finder, choose File > Find.
         Type AdobeFnt.lst, select the system drive, and then press Return.
         Delete all AdobeFnt.lst files found (for example, AdobeFnt10.lst).
then clear system font cache :-
Launch Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities)
Enter the following command at the prompt and press Return: sudo atsutil databases -remove
Restart your computer immediately
and check

Safari 7.1 does not display fonts correctly in youtube

Since I upgraded to Safari 7.1 any YouTube videos do not display text or the time correctly. All of it looks like small boxes with a capital A in them. I found something on the forums the other day and I upgraded my Flash and I used Fusion Suitecase to clear font caches. That works for one session in Safari and I thought I had it fixed. The next session the same thing happened, so I cleared my font cache again, but it did not work. What am I to do. This is dumb! You get an upgrade and you have to run around trying to fix what it messed up. Never had this problem. BTW, Firefox displays everything correctly, but I don't like Firefox. Any help is appreciated.

Hi ..
Might be a third party font manager > Re: All I see is the letter "a"
If that's not the issue, check for duplicate fonts...
Open Font Book located in your Applications folder.
From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates
If that doesn't help, it might be a third party font causing the capital A issue.
From the Font Book menu bar click File > Restore Standard Fonts

Site not displaying properly in IE

Hello,
I'm working on building a site from a template. Prior to today I only opened the site in Firefox and it displays fine. However, in IE for some reason every page besides the index.html do not display properly. The weird thing is, the part that is messed up should be the same as the index.html because they're from the same template.
Does anyone happen to know what I messed up?
Here is the site...

Which IE? What does "do not display properly" mean? It looks OK to me in IE8.
