Safari 6 on Lion, text much smaller?

I just installed Safari 6 on my MBP using Lion. I noticed that the text at the default size of Safari 6 was smaller. I looked at the preferences to increase the size of the text, but there is no setting. I compared to Firefox and Chrome and the text is noticeably smaller.
Has anyone noticed this?
Any way to set default for larger text?

I have created three separate Style Sheets, named Calibri.css, Lucida Grande.css and Trebuchet.css.
The code for all three style sheets appears below, separated by dashes -- create a new file in TextEdit, make it a TXT file (as opposed to a RTF file), select text from /* to } and copy and paste to your new text file, save it as *.css (* being the name you want to use). You can change the font to any you have installed.
Then, simply go to Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced and choose which style sheet you want to apply. I have customised my Toolbar to show the small/large A/A to change font size. Perhaps some kind soul can add to the code below to force a fixed sized font.
Alternatively, look for a Safari Extension called HelveticaTheWorld and force all pages to be displayed in Helvetica (the ugliest font ever invented).

Safari Mountain Lion text editing glitch

Has anyone else seen problems with the latest Safari on the latest Mountain Lion where text that is being edited causes flashing? I found a YouTube video that demonstrates the problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYkqXkJXod4
This is very similar to what I'm seeing on my early-2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. It's especially bad in Google Docs, but it seems to happen when editing text in lots of web apps. The creator of the video suggested turning off the Energy Saver setting "Automatic graphics switching." He said that fixes the problem but also drains the battery a lot faster. And I can attest to that. Just during the time I've been typing this message, my battery has gone from 58% to 54%. But I haven't seen any of the text editing glitch.
I never saw this in Lion, so I'm guessing it's a new bug introduced in Mountain Lion, or Safari, or in one of the video drivers used by the early-2011 MBP. So I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if Apple is already aware of it, and if anyone has a better workaround.
Thanks,
Todd.
ps. Battery is now at 51%.

This thread seems to be dealing in the area where I am having a problem. I can easily from Safari email the link to a page but if I choose in the mail side to have it as pdf it simply goes into mail and just sits there and keeps displaying the message loading in the mail message it opens.
If I do it from safari by going to the print menu and selecting from the PDF area of the print dialogue mail pdf it will open a mail message with the pdf showing as an attachment. Similar happens if I choose to send it as a web page. Does not seem to matter on either if I have it set to rich text or text in the mail same behaviour.
Any idea with what might be going on. thanks

Safari lion isn't loading images or some text. It doesn't even load any of the "iPod / iPad / Mac boxes on the apple page. Is there any way to fix it, or reinstall safari for lion?

I connected my macbook pro to my school network, with a proxy server, and when i got home, safari wouldnt load any images or certain text on any web page.
I removed the proxies from network settings, but it still hasnt done anything.
Is there a way i can reinstall safari for lion, i could only find it for snow leopard, and it wouldnt let me install that.
Any other way to fix it would be great too.

Try resettting Safari by clicking on the Safari menu item the click reset Safari.

When using text edit, the font as it appears on the screen is ok, but when I print, it is much smaller on the paper than the chosen font size. How do I correct this?

Hi Corel
Thank you for your reply
However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
How do I do this please
I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert

Safari in Lion has stopped working.

Safari in Lion has stopped working. All my peers that have lion have been having this problem, and those that still have Snow Leopard have no issues with their Safari. The loading animation only gets to about as far as "http://" and just hangs there. It says it's connected to the internet (i've tried with both wi-fi and ethernet). I have no idea what happened, as it had been working for a solid month before this.
I'm sadly writing this message from the firefox browser .
In the past to get it to start working again (for a short period of time), i would:
Emtpy Cache in Safari
Reset Safari
Remove my Wi-Fi remembered internets
Delete Wi-fi
Reboot the computer
Re-add Wifi
Reconnect to the internet
it would still hang for a bit, but eventually it would load a page.
If anyone has any advise, it's much appreciated.

Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are actually shell commands -- little programs. They’re harmless, but they must be used exactly as given in order to work. Some of the lines will probably wrap in your browser, but each one is really just 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, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the window, and press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

I am using a Mac and when I save my files as a jpeg, the files become much smaller, and consequently darker and blurrier. What can I do to fix this? I have tried to figure out how to chat with someone at Adobe, but they certainly don't make it easy to do. At the moment, this program is useless to me. Very depressing....

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

Printed type much smaller than screen type

I'm working on a Sawtooth G4 running OS 9.2.2. When I print (SimpleText, Word, Excel) the printed type is much smaller than the designated screen size. For instance, if I print 24-point type, it comes out about 14 or 12. If I print 12, it's about six- or seven-point.
The only application not affected is QuarkXPress 4.0.
I'm running ATM Deluxe 4.6.1.
Ideas?

That suggets the wrong driver, or wrong configuration in the right driver.
What printer is this, please?
Has it ever worked properly and does it have the maker's latest drivers for OS 9?
Does it make ny difference what font is used?
Does the same text still shrink in Word and not in XPress if it's typed in one then pasted into the other?

HT5275 how to reinstall safari for lion?

I have deleted safari from lion and wish to reinstall.
Please advise how can i go about reinstalling safari?

An alternative is to install ana application called pacifist which has a free trial
It can allow you to install small portions of the os
To use Pacifist, the OP will need to download the OSX, anyway, to access the .dmg installer. If that is the case, then the safest and most reliable course of action is to just reinstall the entire system, considering the complexity of Safari and it's integration with so many other parts of the OSX.

What is the best way to split large blocks of text into smaller blocks?

Hello, I have several pages with 2,000 word articles of text. As you can imagine these pages are not terribly interesting design-wise, something I plan to change.
The first thing I need to do is split up these blocks of text into much smaller blocks so that they can easily be moved around and independently manipulated. What's the quickest way to do this in Muse?

You can create different text frames and copy the text, which if you wish you can group them together which will help in moving them around on page.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Safari, Mountain Lion and emailing pages

I suppose I'll get used to the tabs in Safari on Mountain Lion, but one thing that seems a huge step back is the ability to email ANY web page from Safari. Oh, yes, I know you can email pages, and I know where the command is, and I know when you're sending it it looks fine in the email window, but have you seen what happens when it arrives with the recipient?
On some web pages, the text is extracted from the page and presented, but images and layout are lost, and a link to the page is included instead. On some other web pages, the recipient just gets a jumble of text extracted from the web page (everything, like navigation lists and other links, like something from the 1980s) and they have to scroll WAY down to find the relevant text, say of the story you were trying to send. This never happened in Safari with Lion, or any previous OS, as far as I know (maybe OS8.6?) but it happens in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion. This feels all wrong, like this function on Safari has gone eleven steps back.
Did nobody test this feature before ML was launched? I mean, like REALLY test it, see what happened when the recipient received the emailed web page? Obviously not.
You know what Steve would say.

This thread seems to be dealing in the area where I am having a problem. I can easily from Safari email the link to a page but if I choose in the mail side to have it as pdf it simply goes into mail and just sits there and keeps displaying the message loading in the mail message it opens.

Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click. Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

Stuck in a limbo: can't install Safari or Lion/Mountain Lion, can't access App Store

If someone would take up this challenge and attempt to solve it with me, I would appreciate it! I have troubleshooted for 2 days now to no avail.
This is what happened:
1) I accidentally installed Safari 6.0, even if I have Lion 10.7. which doesn't run the new version
2) This disabled my use of Safari and my access to App Store
3) With a combination of AppDelete + Pacifist I tried deleting all Safari files, and re-installing old Safari 5.4 from scratch.
I rebooted, repaired permissions and did a disk check.
4) Rebooted again, tried to open the newly installed Safari, but it gives an error:
"Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
5) At this point I thought to revert back to a previous point in Time Machine. Unfortunately all the points in Time Machine somehow showed Safari 6.0 (even a month-old points), so reverting back to an old point didn't help.
6) I try logging into AppStore to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I can't do that, since it needs Safari to run and I don't have a Safari anymore!
7) Now I tried re-installing Lion from restart + cmd+R, and it asked for Apple ID to start the installation.
--> At this point I am getting desperate, as this computer was purchased second-hand, so I don't have the Apple ID used to install Lion!
8) I try searching for Apple's official support, but obviously my warranty has expired, besides it's based in another country so they can only call cellphones from that country!
So I cannot enter App Store; reinstall Safari; reinstall Lion; or upgrade to Mountain Lion. I have no access to Apple official support. I currently work in a developing country with limited access to any MAC support.
I don't know what to try anymore!
- How can I enter App Store without Safari?
- How can I reinstall Lion without the original Apple ID?
- How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion without App Store?
I'm STUCK! Please help!!

Anyone?
I finally managed to download the newest combo update and installed it successfully!
However Safari still doesn't open. It keeps saying the following:
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I also finally got access to App Store: but the download of Mountain Lion doesn't complete, because it seems to need Safari.
So I'm still stuck with the two issues:
i) Safari doesn't work, and I can't get it to work unless I can reinstall/upgrade the OS.
ii) I can't upgrade the OS without Safari!
--- unless someone knows a way to install Lion/Mountain Lion _without_ Safari??
Thanks for all your help!

Safari on Lion will not allow popup windows to return data to the website

I have a web-based application that uses pop-up windows to capture certain user changes. One example is the user changing the default number of hours to a new specific number. The problem is that with Safari on Lion, the data does not get returned to the website.
I have tested this function with Windows and IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook system running Snow Leopard and Safari, with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook and Firefox with no problem. I've used the Firefox Firebug debugging tool with no errors found.
Debugging has proven that the data is being captured by the popup, and it is assigned to the returnValue. However, the website never receives that data - the object is empty. This error is happening with every popup I've tried in the system covering a wide range of uses.
The only thing I have found that fixes/masks the problem is turning on the Developer menu in Safari, and then starting Javascript debugging. In that mode the problem does not occur, but I can't find any errors to fix.
It seems as if there is some change in Lion that affects the security of popup windows and returned data, but an internet search turns up no similar complaints. I have been able to reproduce the error on 3 different Macs running Lion.
I have verified that pop-up windows are not blocked, and java and javascript are enabled. I've also compared the settings on my system with the failing systems and find no Safari settings that make any difference. I've tried all the simple things like system reboots, safari resets, and cookie cleaning.
I would appreciate any ideas or information that might help. I am an experienced developer but relatively new to Mac's.
Here is the code that calls the popup and waits for the returned data :
if (window.showModalDialog)
retVal = window.showModalDialog(templink, "name", "dialogWidth:275px;dialogHeight:350px");
else
retVal = window.open(templink, "name", "height=350, width=275,toolbar=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no,resizable=no, modal=yes");
if (retVal == 'cancel')
return;
else {
frmnewhrs.lid.value = tempid;
frmnewhrs.newhrs.value = retVal;
frmnewhrs.submit(); }
This is the code in the popup that captures and sends the new data :
function preSaveCheck() {
var tempstr = document.getElementById("newhrs").value;
if (tempstr.length > 0) {
window.returnValue = tempstr;
window.close();}
Thanks, Dave
