My default san serif font is a western font- how do I change back to something readable?

I just updated to Firefox 6 and now the default font that is displaying on many websites (including what I'm typing right now) is the font "zebrawood". how do i change back to how it was before? this is very irritating.

You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

  • How can I get the TOC to display ALWAYS in a Sans-Serif Font in Linux/Firefox.

    I've created my help project in RH9.  When it displays in Linux/Firefox, the fonts in the topics are fine, but the TOC displays in Times New Roman.  Is there a setting in RH9 that I need to use to keep this from happening?

    Hi,
    Did you change the setting in the skin? What font have you set for the TOC? Perhaps you set a font that is not available on linux so make sure that you use a web safe font.  For more information on web safe fonts, see http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
    You can also tinker with your output files. In whthost.js, you can amend the CSS that RoboHelp uses for the TOC. you can add a rule for a sans-serif font the browser can fall back on. See http://www.wvanweelden.eu/webhelp_output_files/whthostjs for more information on the whthost.js file.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

    Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

  • TS2755 When I iMessage, I type in my friends name, then select her cell number that is in my contacts.  When I start the iMessage, her husband's name shows up as the default name for who I am messaging.  How do I change it so that her name shows up?

    When I iMessage, I type in my friend's name, then select her cell number from my contacts.  When I start the iMessage, her husband's name automatically fills in as the default name.  My friend is getting the iMessage, but this is confusing to me, the sender.  I want her name to automatically be the default when I select her cell number.  How do I change this?

  • "sans-serif" font assignment in CSS not happy in Safari

    http://www.dandreaco.com/safari.jpg
    http://www.dandreaco.com/firefox.jpg
    The Safari is the bad one; the Firefox is the way the page SHOULD look. I have been having this problem now for about 8 weeks, but I cannot pinpoint where it came from as the update to Safari and the installation of the new MS Office 2008 ran consecutively. Regardless, now any style sheet that just has "sans-serif" with NOTHING else as a font assignment shows up this way. It looks like it may just be a character encoding issue, because Safari does not have Western IS0-8859-1. I assumed Western ISO Latin-1 was the same, but I don't think that's true because I have seen many negative posts relating to Western ISO Latin-1 on developer sites all over the net. I chose Roman and it doesn't fix it, btw. Any clues???? This is going to force me to bag Safari till they fix this problem.

    There was a "problem" font. I don't even know how I got it, but it's kind of like a "font virus." Because everything is set up for "Helvetica" this particular font, "Helvetica in a Hamper" uses all the correct font naming, family, etc., coding and in so doing, weasels its way into becoming your only Helvetica font. "M" and "N" are in reverse order, as are lower case "m" and "n" and "a" and "b" with "o" and "p", i.e., opcdefghijklnmabqrstuvwxyz.

  • MS sans serif font in Power Point

    Does anyone know if there is a font for Mac that is same or equivalent to MS sans serif in windows. I compose in Mac but often present in Windows and would like to avoid fixing fonts that don't appear in Windows.

    What about using Microsoft Sans Serif? It is included in Mac OS X 10.5.

  • Setting sans-serif font in TextFormat?

    Is there a way to set a generic sans-serif device font when setting the font property of the TextFormat?
    Or does the font property have to be a specific font name?
    For example, it would be nice to set the font property similar to how you set the font family within a stylesheet: i.e.
    "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
    Instead it appears that you can only set an actual name of a font (i.e. "Arial") and if the user's computer does not have that particular font, then the font face is set to Times New Roman.
    Please let me know if there is a way to set a generic font family rather than setting a specific single font family.
    thanks in advance!

  • MS Sans Serif font missing

    I receive a regular club bulletin which is in MS Sans Serif.
    When I open it with Pages I get a warning that MS Sans Serif is missing, and I replace it with Microsoft Sans Serif.
    But, neither before or after replacing it, is the pagination as the author intended. It is not the same as when opened in LibreOffice for example.
    Is there any way I can download MS Sans Serif and have Pages use it?
    Or any other way round this problem for Pages? or do I have to use LibreOffice
    Thanks

    It might or might not get the pagination wrong. It depends on which features used when creating the document.
    My strong view is that the Sender has the obligation to make sure everyone who he/she wants to read the bulletin, should use a format or supply with alternatives, to make sure it can be read. The reader shouldn't be the one to adjust to the senders restricted view on which  format or font to use. You have to ask for a pdf version at least. You can open in Preview, PC user have to get Adobe reader but they usually already have it on their computers.
    I can't see it a a defeat on your part. Maybe I can see it on the senders part thoguh.
    You are right of course, in this day and age PDFs and Adobe Reader should be the norm.
    But this is a voluntary organisation where a lot of work is done unpaid by a few people. Neither the sender nor the members are particularly computer literate. I don't feel it is appropriate to tell them about their obligations!
    I call it a defeat because my Macs can't handle such a document without third party software or requesting the sender to do something which all the Windows members don't need. This is the kind of problem which helps put people off Macs.
    However, you said that there is a possibility that Pages would get the pagination right if it had the correct font, so can I ask again if it is possible to download MS Sans Serif? There are other Microsoft fonts in OSX, so why not this one? I have googled for it without success.
    It isn't a big deal to use LibreOffice, but my tidy mind would like Pages to handle it if possible.
    Thanks for helping

  • ICal in OS X Lion default on new entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?

    The OS X Lion default on new iCal entries is 'all day'.  How can I change that default?  It seems odd that the default would be 'all day' when most entries are for meetings lasting less than that. 

    Unfortunetely the only way is to uncheck the box each time you set up an entry. I trust enough feedback from users will convince Apple to change that in the future.

  • How can I change back my security code to default

    I am user of N73(music edition).
    Someone had changed my security code. So I can't format my phone memory. What should I do to change back my security code to default.

    Hi zarni
    I would normally suggest re-installing current version of phone software with Nokia Software Updater which returns it to Nokia default 12345 lock code. However there have been unsubstantiated reports that very latest version of NSU will not give you option of re-installation any longer unfortunately.

  • I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8 with Firefox 7.0.1. In the past hour or so my fonts on nearly all webpages have turn to a bold san serif font and I can't figure out how to change them back to a thinner font. Can anyone help?

    This just happened without reason. Not sure what other information I can provide.

    Hi! It sounds like you might have accidentally changed the default font. You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Changing fonts and colors#os=mac&browser=fx7]]. It should give you all the steps you need to change it back. Another possible scenario is that you accidentally increased the font size. This might give the appearance that all the text is in bold. You can find the details in [[How do I use Zoom?]] Since this can be done through a keyboard shortcut, it might be worth a look. I know I've accidentally changed the font size myself a few times.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After the 6.0 update, my font for my xfinity email and on other websites changed to a random font, how do i change it back or set the default font to one that i can read?

    after the automatic download happened, the font changed to some script font i have. i removed that font, then it defaulted to another not so good looking font, and it has done that each time i disable the font. why is it doing this, but more importantly, how do i fix it so it is a basic font like arial?
