Mavericks / safari bad FONT SMOOTHING

Hi,
The option to disable font smoothing in OSX for small characters size (< 9 )  is not listed anymore in the General preferences panel of mavericks. Safari 7 with smoothing on small fonts is very hard to read on external monitors. Is there a hidden option to restore this VERY USEFUL function.
Thanks.

I couldn't find any info on this either.
The only way to fix this might be hidden in their stores. It's hidden under the RETINA name

  • Deactivated Subpixel Font Smoothing In Safari

    I was reading an apple technical note ( https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/technotes/tn2220/_index.html ) within the Safari browser and noticed that the text font did not appear to be smoothed. I confirmed the fact by zooming and making note of the lack of color within the letter which is a sure marker of font smoothing. Late that day I noticed the same thing in the Harmony Central Forums ( http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Electric-Guitars/Review-NGD-Xavier-XV-500-Pics- and-Recording/m-p/29888705/highlight/true#M3683950 ). I then opened the same pages in both Firefox and Chrome, both of with rendered the text using subpixel font smoothing. One further thing that stuck me as odd is that Safari does use subpixel rendering on certain pages, such as the text in this forum. I have searched for an option to turn subpixel smoothing on within the Safari preferences, but had no luck along that route.
    I don't think this has anything to do with it but I thought I would mention that I have the "Use LCD Font Smoothing" within the General System Preferences set to Level 2 (done with a terminal command). edit- I actually just set LCD Font Smooth to the standard (bolder) on setting and then restarted Safari. It made the text that was previously smoothed dark, but had no effect on the previously (and still) un-smoothed text.
    I was hoping someone could tell me what is going on here and how to activate subpixel smoothing within Safari, because I like the browser and the way smoothed fonts look.
    (I am using Mavericks, Safari 7, Chrome 31 and Firefox 25)

    Unfortunately, we do not support fonts on your operating system. Hopefully another customer is more familiar with this.

  • Safari Font Smoothing: Not an option?

    I just purchased an iMac yesterday. It is incredible. I've done some research with the programs installed, and I came across the following web page that discusses how to turn on "font smoothing" with Safari: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/apple/make-fonts-less-fuzzy-in-safari-for-windows /
    However, when I follow the author's directions, I do not see the option for "font shadowing" -- I see everything else: standard font, fixed-width font, display images when page opens, and default encoding. I upgraded Safari to 3.1 (as my computer came with a slightly less version) last evening, too.
    Is this still possible? Am I missing something?

    Thanks, Bee! That explains everything.
    My concern is, that in Safari, lowercase i's look like lowercase l's. I would show you a screenshot, but I don't think a "Print Screen" button exists, does it?
    When you visit the following link, the text on the screen makes the separation between the dot in the "i" nonexistent:
    http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com
    I hope you know what I am referencing. When I'm typing in this box, they appear fine. But, when I view certain web pages, they do not. I do hope this makes sense. Is this fixable or something I will just have to live with?

  • Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

    Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

    Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
    Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
    Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

  • Font Smoothing + Relative Positioning = Problem

    Hello,
    I ran across a strange inconsistency while designing a relative position based layout.
    My page has two divs, both relative positioned for height. They do not overlap. The page renders excellent in Firefox 3.5, and not bad in Chrome (though a little different from FF). Safari however pushes my second div down too far.
    I found that by disabling font smoothing (or rather switching it to anything besides "windows standard") fixes this issue. However there isn't even any actual text on the site, at all. There's 4 images, a couple input fields and a submit button.
    I can post some of the code, or example screenshots of what's happening. I've tried a couple css hacks to target safari (without targeting chrome) with no success. Anybody have any advice?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Please disreard...
    I got it figured out. I just moved the paragraph tag outside
    of the table
    and changed the position from bottom:50% to top:50%
    once the <p> was moved out of the table, it's normal
    position would be at
    the very top. So, I moved it 50% down from the top using
    relative
    positioning. Being inside the table caused it to not work in
    Gecko? I
    wonder why?

  • Font smoothing issue between built-in display and external

    Ok, this one is a bit tricky to explain, but here we go. I have a Macbook 2.2 C2D and a 24" FHD2400 Gateway LCD which I connect using the mini-DVI port. My problem is that any applications I start with the external display plugged in have slightly "thinner" text (on both displays), like the font smoothing is different. But, applications that were already running look smoother and thicker on both displays. Further, even after disconnecting the external display, the thinner text persists until I restart the application.
    As a real example, I was running Safari with just the main LCD. I plugged in the external, and it looked fine. I restarted Safari (now with the external plugged in) and the text appears thinner. Unplugging the external, the text still appears thinner on the main LCD until I restart it again.
    Here is a photo, where the left side is the thinner text, and the right is the normal, thicker text:
    Any insight/advice on this would be much appreciated.
    * Note: I run the main LCD in native resolution (1280x800) and the 24" in native (1920x1200)
    Message was edited by: Chris Scharf (added screen resolution information)

    Under System Preferences, Appearance, try setting "Font smoothing style: to "Medium - best for Flat Panel" and see if that helps.

  • Font in GTK2 apps are not using font smoothing in cinnamon. GTK3 does.

    Hi,
    My GTK2 apps like GIMP, chromium fonts are not really using font smoothing but GTK3 apps look fine.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Chazza wrote:Does the following application help at all? Link: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt5 … ent=168066
    Yes, unfortunately this did not fix the problem. I did put the environmental variable in .profile and relogged, the result was unfortunately the same. I've managed to fix fonts in Clementine using qtconfig-qt4 after some fiddling, but applications like Docky and Chromium still have the monospace font.

    Ah, my bad. Do you know of a way to fix that problem anyway?

  • Font Smoothing GONE--Help!!!

    I'm running 10.6.2, and I pretty much have ZERO font smoothing whenever I ctrl-mouse zoom on any menu, any text, any program. This is on my MacBook Pro (2 years old) that had perfect font smoothing in Leopard.
    I've turned off the CRT checkbox in System Preferences—doesn't help
    I've used Terminal to run defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1 and also tried 2 and 3 and even reverting to defaults—doesn't help
    I've used Font Book to validate fonts and remove duplicates (especially after Office 2004 install)—doesn't help
    I've also rebooted after all these operations—still almost zilch smoothing on zoom
    Even Finder looks AWFUL
    Help! My MBP looks like crap now!

    That sounds good. A lot of tests to run! Hate to do the new user test, but will if I have to.
    I am really leaning toward the Option-Command-"\" having (unintentionally) turned OFF Screen Zoom (under mouse or trackpad) Image Smoothing.
    How could it take me so long to learn that there is Font Smoothing, and there is Image Smoothing. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
    The Chain of Blame here is so convoluted it hurts my brain.
    1. Evernote was trying to reinstall web clipping and/or its Safari plug-in ever since I converted to Snow Leopard. (Massive evidence of this in Console error messages, and they are hilarious: "Can't get Elephant!" and "Can't install icon!" over and over and over again. Just give it up, Evernote!)
    2. So one day Evernote's interference with Safari messes up my executing the Option-Command-"\" command to log into my bank (it's normally a 1Password keyboard shortcut that works great in Safari).
    3. Option-Command-"\" reverts back to its "normal" designation (turn on/off Screen Zoom (under mouse or trackpad) Image Smoothing).
    4. I hit Option-Command-"\" repeatedly, trying to get the 1Password HUD to pop up in Safari. It doesn't.
    5. By hitting Option-Command-"\" so many times, I unintentionally turn off Screen Zoom Image Smoothing. Only I don't realize it.
    If this theory IS correct, then it's a simple fix!
    The lesson learned would be:
    System Preferences, Personal, Appearance, Font Smoothing
    is a DIFFERENT preference from
    System Preferences, Mouse/Trackpad, (Two Fingers), Screen Zoom, Options, Smooth Images
    Of course, I'll report back just as soon as my SuperDuper backup finishes and I can try this test.
    And if this IS the problem, well, I blame it on the elephant.

  • Font Smoothing makes everything blurry

    I just tried Safari 3.1 beta for Windows Vista for the first time and found ALL levels of font smoothing to make my fonts blurry making it unusable. I use a 17" laptop lcd monitor and the "CRT" setting is the least blurry. Any way to turn this off completely?

    They didn't fix the font problem?
    HAHAHA. I posted about this, and submitted bug reports and they still didn't fix it?
    Uh... why does version 3.01 not have this problem?
    Wow. It boggles the mind. I'm not going to install 3.1 if the fonts look fine in 3.01.
    I'm very unhappy with this development. What a joke.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Help with font smoothing / rendering

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6), updated it to 10.6.4 yesterday. Font smoothing or rendering turned bad ever since the SL upgrade. I did these two things so far:
    1. Resolved all the duplicate fonts in Font Book (there were many).
    2. defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
    Rebooted the machine. I still feel the fonts are looking ugly. Here are the screenshots:
    http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2998/screenshot20100617at115.png
    http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/2294/screenshot20100617at120.png
    Please help. I can't afford to do clean installation of SL now at this point

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem. Validated all my fonts cleaned out font cache but unfortunately nothing helped.
    What else can it be?
    Could you tell me what exactly you did?

  • Turn off font smoothing

    I love thin clear fonts when they are not smoothed. Please FIND A WAY to turn font smoothing off.
    I turn it off from windows 7 also. I don't know why are you so in love with the ugly font smoothing, which makes the fonts appear bloated and fuzzy.
    PLEASE APPLE MAKE IT TURN OFF!

    Thanks, I appreciate it, but I know that.
    And it doesn't work. It doesn't deactivate it from menu, from XCode pop-up menus, that option is completely useless.
    I think Mac fails miserably with fonts, and it just ruins an otherwise good OS.
    It doesn't look as bad on retina displays, but that's only because you have twice as many pixels to work with.
    And still it bloats the fonts unnecessarily.
    It's just ugly.
    I was so mad with fonts, I wanted to write my own kerner driver just to turn smoothing off.
    It's just horrible, and for a company that takes pride in being the first to bring truetype fonts and graphic user interface, having tasteless fonts is just bad.
    Windows also tried to follow you, they added an ugly Segoe font and some other font to their Outlook. Luckily I can redirect them into Arial or Verdana through registry. With Mac it's really built into their OS. This ugly Lucida Grande... What's so nice about this font?
    I may sound like I am trashing or ranting, but I speak this way in hopes that somebody notices and makes a normal update to the otherwise normal OS. Their font is just ugly. It looks ugly. There is nothing nice about the way Mac makes fonts smoothing. It would be much better off if it could have been turned off.
    Just because the developers of Mac OS is used to seing their font uglyfied by smoothing, and sees no harm in it, doesn't mean everybody shares their preferences. I am a developer too, and I also produce software for sale, It's the user who they should listen, they will be surprised to learn how wrong they are...

  • Disable font-smoothing system wide

    I want to disable font-smoothing (anti aliase) system wide for mavericks operating system. I already turned off font smoothing for LCD from system preferences (in general).
    But it still shows blurry for small fonts in my editor (Zend studio for Eclipse). And it make totally impossible to read small codes.
    Any help would be great.

    It's definetely the issue. This worked for me: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972

  • Mavervick OSx with font smoothing error. Crashes Photoshop

    I keep getting the error message "For the Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click Appearance, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller." I go into preferences and into general but there is no setting to turn off text smoothing for a specific font. I'm in osx mavericks and all it says is "use lsd font smoothing when available" and when I uncheck it, the error message in photoshop still pops up. Can someone help please?

    That isn't an error message, just an information message.
    And what does the long, detailed crash report say?

  • The Bad Font thread...

    Hi guys,
    I just went through more than a thousand fonts, just to find that one that was messing up my browser.
    Guilty font: "Mark"
    I deactivated it and now everythings cool again.
    I searched this forum at first but found that several users had problems with different fonts. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to group all "bad fonts" together in one thread. This could all spare us some valuable time. Post as you wish...
    Greetz!

    a THOUSAND thank you's...
    thanks for the tip. My bad font was Arial. Seems strange since it's a common font, but deactivating it did the trick. It was so frustrating for weeks because I couldn't read basic text on some sites, but never had time to research the problem...
    This is my first time exploring this forum, and it seems pretty helpful! Although Safari sounds like a nightmarish program for a lot of people. Other than this issue, mine works great - knock on wood!
    So, thanks!
