Numbers in Safari Do Not Display Correctly

Ever since I upgraded to Safari 5, numbers have not displayed properly either in Safari or with HTML email in Mail. See screenshot:
All the numbers have a box and line going around and through them. This is forcing me to use Firefox -- because the problem does not exist there. I recently upgraded to Safari 5.1 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no dice.
Any ideas?

We're other Mac users here, asking questions and sharing solutions.
You've loaded on that font.
It's a free one from somewhere, and it is poorly constructed on top of a typical font
like Helvetica or Arial. Open up Font Book, and go through the sample text til you find this one
with the "flip card" look. Delete that font, restart your Mac, and your text will return to normal.

Safari does not display correct font

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I did this, it did something to the fonts displayed in Safari 5.1.7. When I go to a webpage (like someone's blog) the entire body of text is in a cursive font. I've tried emptying the cache, changing the fonts in the Preferences/Apperiences tab in Safari, deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist, and also deleting duplicate fonts in my Font Book. I don't know what else to do, but it's driving me nuts because it's so hard to read the text in Safari. I've also noticed that it does it in Firefox as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

PDF in Safari: Fonts not displaying correctly: Has this bug been fixed?

Last year I was trying to view a PDF on the iPad with Safari, and there was a font corruption problem: On zooming in, the type would become garbled. Now granted, I was using a non-standard font (Univers Type 1). I also noticed this problem with certain magazines in the MagCloud app. I decided to work around the problem by converting my type to outlines; while this worked, it made the PDFs much larger in file size.
I checked this bug again under iOS 4.3 and could not replicate it. I've found anecdotal evidence out there that as of iOS 4.2.1 this may have been fixed, but I can't find confirmation. Any help in this regard is much appreciated. I need to present my project managers with discrete evidence that this bug has been fixed before they'll allow me to go ahead with "live" type -- and as we all know, the plural of anecdote is not data. Thanks.

Apologies, I should also make clear another key point...where it's blowing out (multiple places), I'm using apex_item within the SQL to render the form. So that's where the problem lies

Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

Facebook is not displaying correctly on my browser anymore: Safari v.5.1.7., Mac OSX v. 10.6.8. neewd helpre

I have an iMac (Intel mid 2011) 21.5", Facebook used to work OK. After updating Safari to Ver. 5.1.7. (6534.57.2), Facebook is not displaying correctly, I get a white unformated screen and a partial display of the information shows on the left side of screen (10%). I'm using OSX Ver. 10.6.8.. Facebook works OK on my iPhone and others PCs.
I can't seem to find any information about how fix this problem. Is it a Safary problem?, or a Facebook issue?, or is it a glitch of OSX, maybe acombination of all these.
Does anybody out there has the knowledge or the information to fix this problem?
I need to fix this problem ASAP. I haven had any problems or issues with my iMac before . I'm new to MAC PCs and the reason I switched from Windows to Mac, was the stability of the SYS and reliability of the hardware. (no need to say that it is a superior OS and its QUALITY stuff.)
A response would be appreciated, Thank you: C.E.O.

I found the solution to my problem: I installed the Super facebook App. AKA (Social fixer)

Safari is not displaying webpages correctly

HELP! Safari does not display certain webpages correctly. I also have this problem with internet explorer. For instance, in Yahoo I expect to see certain icons with the ability to change color and text, but none of the boxes are displayed as they should be when using a PC. Most recently, I have a problem with a blog webpage that does not display all of the text editing functions. Instead I get all of the html script or java script text (not sure which one). It is really frustrating.
Please help!

Some common sites have text editing functions that can only be used from a Windows system. Most likely all you can do is complain to them about it. As for the blog, no one can possibly help you without a url, so they can see what the problem might be.

Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
The same problem appears on a iPad.
It is not displayed correctly.
In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

Hi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks!

Text on some pages not displaying correctly since Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Lion a few days ago, I find that the texg on many web pages does not display correctly. It appears to affect mainly header texts - all I get is a row of the capital letter "A" in boxes. I am running Safari Version 5.1 (7534.48.3) on Lion 10.7 Build 11A511.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

Safari will not display some media content despite Flip4mac loaded

As the subject indicates, Safari will no longer display some media content after installing Flip4mac. Where that media content would normally display all I see is a square with the Quicktime logo in the middle and a question mark in the middle. For example see the Dakar Rally site http://www.raid-live.com/dakar/en/index.shtml#. In my case Safari does not display the Flash content relating to "Premium Offers".
Mozilla displays everything fine though I don't particularly want to move between browsers depending on the on-line content. I'd rather not use Mozilla as in some cases the page appearances aren't as neat as those displayed by Safari.
Is there a way of restoring Safari back to its default settings in order get it to play ball.
Cheers
Chris

Also a possible explanation is Safari cache files. Safari can be quite stubborn about holding on to these and refusing to let go of a cache file for a page, not showing up-dated content. Since the new user account didn't have any cache files Safari displayed the file correctly there, and used a "bad" cache file in your original account. Even clicking reload doesn't necessarily force Safari to take a new look at the page code. Drives me batty sometimes. If that is the problem you can go to the Safari menu item, choose Empty Cache and try again. I'v had instances though where I had to empty the caches and quit and relaunch Safari to get it to display a page properly.
Another thing to do, to make sure something is a Safari specific problem rather than a system problem, is to download Firefox and try it with a funky page. If the page works in Firefox, but not Safari, you know it is Safari being funny and not your system.

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.

Safari will not display video content/flash etc on websites ie youtube etc

I am running Panther 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). When trying to access Youtube, Facebook etc Safari does not display video/animation etc and so Safari closes with an error. It will also not play video content on the Apple website. I would also like to know the following if someone could please help; What is the best software to upgrade to ie Tiger? etc ; What is the maximum memory upgrade for my machine and what would I ask for and best place to buy? Any assistance is much appreciated. Kind regards VJR1OK!!

You may find some improved online performance with Panther 10.3.9 with
the last supported Flash and Shockwave players installed (older ones have
to be uninstalled) and though the use of Camino browser since it is up-to-date.
There still will be some limitations; but if you have the correct Flash/Shockwave
players for Panther installed and get Camino, and use it as a default replacement
for that ancient Safari, that would make a difference. Also, it always makes sense
to get more RAM in an older computer since they usually shipped with very little.
In the case of older computers, often the capacity of the hard disk drive was also
a matter of marginalization. A large enough drive to have plenty of free space in
it, after applications and the OS X is installed, so the system can have room for
temporary files and Virtual Memory, then it can run the last supported OS X ok.
An externally enclosed bootable hard drive (FireWire enclosed unit) could be
used to add space or a second system for use when at a desktop, so for the
sake of discussion, the internal drive would not necessarily need replaced to
check out a different operating system that may need more room in a drive.
RAM is an easy fix; and a new browser from Camino.org - plus those players.
Good luck & happy computing!

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

I web not displaying correctly in Explorer

Hi guys,
I've just uploaded my website , (to Go Daddy) created on iweb (09) and it is perfect in Safari but looks dreadful in Internet Explorer on my PC and a little funky in Firefox.
In Explorer on my PC (Windows7) boxes are in the wrong position and opacity is not displayed correctly ie I reduced opacity in some elements and they show full opacity. Also Elements such as page content are out of position and obscuring parts of the text.
Firefox on my Mac is almost ok but shows the lines around a few text boxes.
Any one had these problems?
DM

I have no Windows so I cannot comment on that.
But some links have spaces to the left and have a wrong link :
On the About US page the words under the six images at the bottom left do not adjust correctly.
That's because you use one text box and use spaces between the words to center them under the images.
Not all spaces have equal width in browsers.
You may want to use a different Sitename.

load, i just get a blank screen.
Thank you for your help

Nice troubleshooting. Well done!
