Question - Y do my fonts look slightly different when publish site to .mac?

I've created a website on iWeb but when i publish it and view it in safari the fonts look slightly different. It's hard to explain but they basically just look worse. Can anyone let me know why this might be and how i could fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iWeb.plist.
Restart your Mac, launch iWeb and republish.
You should really convert any text done in "copperplate" to an image. Otherwise it will be converted to an (ugly) alternative on any computer that doesn't have this font installed.

IWeb site looks completely different when published compared to on iWeb...

For whatever reason, whenever I publish my website (I published it to a "local folder"), it looks completely different and VERY ugly.
This is what it looks like in iWeb right now:

This is what it looks like when it's published:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/WWEFreak69/Screenshot2011-03-22at33817PM.jp g
There's an obvious difference.
So what am I doing wrong?

For one thing there are many files that did not get uploaded to the server. You can see which by viewing your site in Safari and bringing up the Activity window (Command+Option+A).
The pages where the navbar is down the site appear to have much of the site's objects in the navbar section rather than the body of the page. Go to the iWeb preferences and check the checkbox to show guides and image indicator.

The design link on the home page is inoperable. Did you intend to have just the text be the link for the hyperlinks on that page or also the image that each text box is on? Makes for a very small link to find.

Why do my fonts turn out different when published?

On one of my pages I have the font handwriting dakota and when I view it on the internet it is arial. What do I do?

Hi David - when publishing a website on the internet you need to use 'standard' web fonts.
This is because the fonts are not 'embedded' in your webpages - the people viewing your website need to have the same font(s) installed on their computer as the ones you have used in your website for it to appear the same. If you use a non-standard font (such as Dakota) they will more than likely not have it installed on their machine and will see a substitute font instead (e.g. Arial, or Times).
'Standard' fonts are those common fonts which come installed as part of the operating system, be it Mac OS or Windows, and the list is fairly limited. Here's a link to a handy page listing them.
If using a non-standard font is crucial to the design of your website, then you need firstly to save the text in your particular font as an image file e.g .gif or .jpg, and then insert that image into the layout of your page as necessary - this way anybody's web browser around the world is simply displaying an image file and it doesn't matter at all whether they have the font installed on their machine or not.
Hope this helps?

Since this morning all text in firefox look slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently.

Since this morning all text in firefox looks slightly different - I think it still uses the same font, but renders it differently!? I would like to have it changed back to what it was. Any help is welcome.
Some facts:
- Happens only in Firefox (IE & Chrome still look the same)
- Already did a reset to defaults
I'm using the latest version of Firefox
Screenshot can be found here: [http://www.ka-pow.net/media/images/firefoxissue.jpg link text]

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View/Beeld > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools/Extra > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

Pictures look slightly different in Photoshop CC compared to windows Photoviewer (lighter)

Hi there,
I purchased PS CC last week, before I worked with PS CS3.
From the moment I started using CC I noticed that my photos look slightly different in Photoshop CC compared to windows Photoviewer or in PS CS3.
They look slightly lighter, which makes it hard to adjust the correct levels of contrast etc
Is there a way to sync the view inside CC to look the same as in other programs?
Marcel

Thanks for your reaction!
Inside Photoshop CC, the settings are like this:
In Photoshop CS3 it's set to 'North america general purpose 2...
This makes me think of the following question: After i install a default windows 7 64 bit in dutch and a default Adobe PS CC, do I need to change anything in the default color settings in order to allign the different programs?

Static text in textfields renders differently when published in CS4/CS5

Hi
I am experiencing an issue where legacy files I created in Flash CS4 look different when published in CS5. Fonts are rendered differently. I have noticed it so far on DIN and Goudy Modern. The output when published in is CS5 is markedly different than the output when published in CS4.
Can anyone offer any pointers on how to think about, deal with, avoid etc.
Many thanks.
Mike
UPDATE
A little more logic to add.
It seems to be opening the file in CS5 changes the fonts somehow. CS4 files that I have not opened in CS5 publish as I would expect in CS4. CS4 files that I have opened in CS5 publish differently whether then published in CS5 or CS4. On Goudy for example. In CS5 adding .5 to the character spacing and 3.5 (not 2) to the line spacing makes the font render similarly in CS5 as it did in CS4 at 0 character spacing and 2 on the line height.

Yes. It's static. I recreated the text and now it works. Weird.
Thank you for your reply and time.

I have two power cords, they look slightly different. Are they interchange

I have a power cord from my MacBook Pro and from my MacBook. The male plug is slightly different between the two, one attaches on the side of the wire, the other is more of a 'T' on the end of the wire. Are these interchangeable?

Font is different when published

I published my site. I didn't like the bold look of some of the fonts so I changed the font and made a couple of other changes. The site then looked the way I wanted before re-publishing publishing.
I then re-published but the fonts are still look bold when I log on to the site. How can I correct this?

Some of those tips really helped - especially turning the text into a graphic - but how do you do it on blog summaries/Album names or on navigation titles? (put the 5% shadow on?). I love iweb but was very dissapointed with the fonts turning to bold versions. I have been a grpahic designer for years and am glad I could do web stuff because of iweb - so a small thing like it looking BOLD when published bummed me out! Anyone know how to edit/add shadow to the aforementioned elements? Thanks in advance....

Website renders slightly different when viewed in IE vs Firefox

Greetings,
The site is
http://www.ryanscafe.net
The issue: Side Gifs on each end of the web page render
differently in IE and Firefox. I built this site on a Mac with
Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I made the mistake of using tables. I
built a version that looked fine in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. But
had problems with the navigation buttons falling down a few
centimeters out of the header when viewed in IE. So since most
people browse in IE I adjusted the table sizes so the web pages
would work in IE. Only problem now is when you view the site in
Firefox, etc. the outer Gifs I used to frame the site won’t
fit without having the buttons repeat their movement and falling
out of place a few centimeters when viewed in IE. (If I make the
site render in the IE browser it has problems in Firefox with the
side Gifs. When the site renders well in Firefox the Navigation
buttons are out of place when viewed in IE.)
I tried shrinking the tables but still had the same problem
whatever size I made them. I tried a transparent Gif to push on the
cells and that didn’t work. I tried endlessly adjusting but
that hasn’t worked yet.
Any insight into resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Anyone?

Fonts don't look the same when published...

why is it when i publish my site to a folder the fonts on some pages do not appear the same as they show in iweb...
i have 8 pages...
home page looks fine just as in iweb...
the remaining pages have a bolder font and doesn't look nice...
i have checked and double checked every page and all fonts are the same...
helvetica size 15...
why is this happening...?
what can i do...?

In iWeb click on +Help > iWeb Help+. In the pane that opens you'll see a search bar in the upper right corner. Copy & paste the following into it:
If text or a shape gets converted to a graphic
...and hit Enter. That same phrase should appear in the resulting list of +Help Topics+. Double-click it.
Follow the steps outlined under +"To identify items that will be converted to graphics when published:"+
...Do yellow badges appear on the text you're having problems with? If so, your text is being converted to graphics — to view the fonts least likely to be converted, click the Fonts button in the lower-right corner. In the Font panel under Collections, click Web.
On the other hand, if yellow badges don't appear then this may apply:

Font appears as bold when published

hi all!
This font issue is driving me crazy..I have set the font to helvetica light on my site but when i publish the site on mobileme some sections appears as bold randomly. i have tried highlighting text and changing font type to helvetica light again but even though it appears as light in iweb when published it is still bold.
Is there an easy solution to this please?

I'm having the same issue as shannondasilva. Looks great offline in iweb but as soon as I publish my site the font appears bolder and thicker than it should. Very annoying and not consistent enough for Apple. Anyone worked out a way of making the font appear as it should without having to convert the text to an image, etc. I want my text to be found by google so it needs to remain as text. And yes I'm using standard Helvetica and Arial websafe fonts. Please can someone help here???

Image looks quite different when imported from camera to Lightroom

Hi there,
I am hoping that there is someone out there that might be able to help me with a problem I have.
I took a number of photos yesterday and I uploaded them to lightroom. The photos looked properly exposed with a nice color on the camera LCD screen. When I imported and then opened these photos in Lightroom, I noticed that the photos were underexposed with an orange cast on skintones. The photos were not very nice at all, and I played with levels etc, but could not get the same look I saw on the LCD.
I shot in JPG Fine, colour profile in camera is Adobe RGB (1998). imac monitor is calibrated.
Has anyone experienced this or know how I might be able to correct the image to look more like what I am seeing on the LCD when I am shooting?
Any help greatly appreciated - Thanks!
Donna

Since you are shooting jpeg, it is not the profile issue, so there are a small list of causes left.
1. The camera LCD is lying to you. This is very possible, but most cameras have a display that, while not trustworthy absolutely, at least renders skintones sort of OK. You can test this by posting one of your originals (so NOT the lightroom edited versions) somewhere for us to see. We can check if the skintones are normal.
2. The calibration is bad. Sometimes calibration hardware is simply defective and you will get bad results no matter what. To check this, use a color managed browser (Safari since you have a Mac is fine) and check out this page. The top image should look OK (normal skintones) no matter if you roll over your mouse or not.
3. If it is not 1 or 2, Lightroom is applying either auto-tone or some camera defaults to your images or you are applying a develop preset upon import. Check this by opening the original directly in preview and comparing to the version in Lightroom. If this is the case, go to your Lightroom preferences, hit the Presets Tab. Uncheck "Apply auto tone adjustments". Then click on "reset all default Develop settings". Now go back to your images and "reset" their develop settings, which is easy to do in the quick develop panel you get in Library. Also, next time you import, make sure you do not have any presets selected.

Font looking too small on certain sites (problem persists after a bit of basic troubleshooting)

FF started handling fonts awry just out of the blue. I don't recall installing anything or fiddling with settings (be it Win7 or Firefox itself) the day before I started having this problem.
I've tried by now:
* Resetting zoom
* Clearing history (didn't, however, clear site preferences)
* JS, Basic Page Style are obviously enabled
* Fiddling with minimum font size settings (to no avail)
* Running FF in safe mode (thus, not an issue with my add-ons)
Want to make it clear, that google isn't the only site affected.

EDIT: at the time I still had FF 5, updated it to 6 but the issue remained.

Since Chrome is working, then there's something going wrong with your IE and Firefox installs of Flash Player. Could you tell me what files you have in the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder?
You might want to give a clean install a shot:
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Page formatting looks ok in iweb put looks different when published

Hi
I just got a new MAC Book Pro, and am still using the iweb o8. Today I made a web page that looked very much like a resume...indents , bullets, alignment. it looks great on the screen in iweb...but when I publish it and access through safari...all of the indents etc are gone or changed. Any clue what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any suggestions

No I haven't tried that but I will try it later tonight. Should I do it in word and then convert that doc to a pdf and then use that. The reason I ask is that I did turn the iweb page into a pdf because I wanted to proof it in paper form (old fashioned, I guess)...and when I printed the pdf document is was huge..
or maybe it looks small on iweb and in the actual web page and the pdf is normal size I was using 14pt type so it was readable on iweb...but when I printed the pdf it didn't fit on a page width wise, and the printed copy looked like 14 pt type....but the iweb page looked about 10 pt.
anyway I will try your suggestion and let you know
I tried to take screen shot...to show the misalignment of the text....but I couldn't get the screen shot into this screen.

Colors look very different when saving to jpg from psd

I'm working on a CMYK image and when I save it to jpg from photoshop CS6, I get this difference in color:
In photoshop:
Viewed from Preview as JPG:
I can't figure out what's causing this color change... I've never had problems saving to jpg before...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

When you save the jpeg are you using Save As... or Save For Web...? To keep the jpeg mode as CMYK you have to use Save As and if you want the jpeg's CMYK preview to match in other color managed applications you have to check Embed Color Profile.
In the Preview app if you choose Tools>Show Inspector the dialog will tell you what profile is embedded. In Photoshop if you choose Document profile from the pop-up in the window's lower left corner, the document's assigned profile will be listed. The Preview and Photoshop profiles have to match in order to get the same color soft proof:
