Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
Thanks,
-flash

Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
they can be the usual suspects.
Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
Good luck, let us know how you fare.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Best way to reach Apple is to send a Bug Report via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond directly to these notes, the information gets in the hands of Software Engineers at Cupertino.
Specific to the referenced site, there are multiple code errors, which would contribute to the rendering problem. Safari is a lot more specific about following correct code than other browsers. I suggest passing the Validation report on to the site developers. Good code practices (W3) makes for better uniformity and security on the Internet.

On resize of report, some data does not display in full

I have to modify a standard report, so I adjust the main section width from 11 t0 14, and the report width from 132 to 142. I compiled the report and run it. I noticed that some items does not display in full, even the text item header.
ex:
prev after modif
1234.45 123
Fname Fnam
Account Accou
At design mode, I can see that the space is enough for the item to display its full value. Anybody knows to deal with this?
this report is run thru oracle apps.

I see that you're using ASP, if the fields in question are
memo fields in Access or nText fields in SQL server, then it's
possible that the following tech note may help out:
http://www.webassist.com/media/professional/support/technotes/10009.pdf
Or you may need to specify all of your columns (not SELECT *
) and manually move the memo/ntext fields to the end of the list of
fields.

Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

Hello:
Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hi my web hosting company irunsolutions.co.uk have informed me that my website does not display properly in firefox when run on a windows 7 32 bit platform.

website is www.empireembroidery.co.uk
does not display properly when viewed on 32bit windows 7 platform in firefox.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Some websites do not display properly or function

Using Firefox v29.0.1; running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.
Some websites do not display properly - as if Firefox is not finding the CSS (Facebook for one).
Also, on Craig's List, I can't click on any of the links including the contact/reply button.
Wanted to attach screenshots but see no place to do so.
Thanks,
paulp575

Looks like something in my history must have been causing it.
That's the only step I needed to go through and seems as though everything has cleared up - for now.
Thanks Phillipp for your help!

Edited pdf does not display properly

I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

Microsoft owa site does not display properly. was working just fine and then stopped displaying correctly today.

The display of the microsoft owa web page does not display correctly. Does not appear to be in HTML - almost looks like plain text.

Thank you. Worked after I cleared cache

Website created in FrontPage does not display correctly in Safari

Using StoreFront software (PC based only), we have created a website that performs beautifully in Explorer and Netscape on a PC. For some reason, not all pages open properly on a MAC. It is the left column that does not open properly on the dynamically generated pages. Does Safari have a problem with style sheets?

If you would provide the url of your page, it would be a lot easier to help. You might yourself want to check your page against the w3c standards to see how far off it is:

AddThis plug-in does not display properly.

AddThis plug-in adds "Share page" to the Safari toolbar, but does not display icons for any sharing option (Facebook, Twitter, EMail, etc.). Therefore, I can't click on anything to share the web page I am reading. Any idea why this area is left blank?

OK, have managed to resolve this. The plugs ins are all registered in the registry, but no version is assigned.
Adding the version number (in my case 12.1.0.883) to each of the plug ins has solved my issue.

I do think this is a compatibility issue between install for CRS & SAP Business One, as we don't get the issue where SAP Business One is not installed.

                    </div>
          </body>
</html>

You can set an explicit width and height instead of a percent but I presume you want the flash object to be the size of the browser window specifying 100%. You also have noscale specified so I presume you're detecting the flash stage size and are dynamically laying out your content based on available space. Is that correct?
That said, you're using XHTML strict but you have some invalid code. In browsers like IE that can be enough to pop compatibility mode and it gets messy. For instance the "align" attribute is not supported so you should remove it.
Using 100% of the space is tricky. You have a scrollbar that can be invoked if you use 100%. Try 99% so the browser doesn't fire off a scrollbar just incase.
Your CSS probably isn't doing enough either. Use your web developer tools in your browser to take a look at your object. You're only clearing margins on the body tag. Try something more aggressive to remove ALL margins and padding like so:
*,html,body,object,div { margins:0; padding:0; }
Your object probably has some margins or padding pushing it off screen and you're only setting margins for the body tag itself. Also a small CSS note. Anytime you specify a value of 0 you don't need to specify px, like 0px. No matter your unit, em, px, etc, 0 is 0. That's why I didn't put 0px if you were wondering.
Also I specified 'div' in the CSS above. It may solve some of your problems to put your <object> inside a <div>.
e.g.:
<div style="width:99%; height:99%;">
    <object ............>
    </object>
</div>
Keep the <object> at 100% width and height if you place it inside that <div>. The browser is very good at dealing with <div>s and should have no problem keeping your content inside it resizing properly.
