Safari Bitstream Vera Sans font not displaying

Hello,
I have a font display problem in Safari 4.
I upgraded to Snow Leopard and Safari 4.0.3, and web pages which specify in the CSS file:
"font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"
are not displaying properly. The entire page, except where a different font is used, is replaced with a character that looks like letter "A" with a square around it.
If I inspect the text element, then uncheck the font-family line, all characters display readably. What could be happening?
Thanks!

I was having this problem, too. I fixed it by I fixed it by downloading the font via the "Download" button at http://www.dafont.com/bitstreamverasans.font, decompressing the downloaded zip file, selecting the four ".ttf" files in the Finder, right-clicking and choosing "Open With.../Font Book.app", clicking "Install Font" on the resulting window. Then, in order to clear the font cache, I did the following in a Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
sudo atsutil databases -removeUser
sudo atsutil server -shutdown
sudo atsutil server -ping

Fonts not displaying correctly in Mail & Safari since updating to 10.4.5

On some of my downloaded email and some websites the fonts are displaying wrong! What's weird as I figured out that the font is called Brady Bunch which I don't even seem to have on my system or if I do I can't find it.
I figured out it was Brady Bunch by copy/pasting it into TextEdit and then went to Format > Show Fonts. It doesn't seem to effect Firefox browser.
My Apple mail (v2.0.5) preferences > Fonts & Colors > are all Helvetia. Safari (v2.0.3) Preferences > Appearance are Times 14 and Courier 12.
It looks really unprofessional replying to an email and the text I'm replying to is in Brady Bunch.
Can anyone help?

Fonts not displaying correctly in Muse, working fine on upload. HELP! Working on Muse CC 2014, Mac OSX 10.9.4

Hello!
In Muse, my fonts are displaying incorrectly, when uploaded the fonts are correct. I am guessing this is a system issue. First time I have had this problem since making the jump to CC 2014 and it is making designing painful . I've updated everything, dumped and reinstalled the web fonts, restarted, cleared PRAM and scratched my head a bunch. I also tried to find a font cache to dump but could not locate it...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Musers! - Andrew

Web font not displaying in Muse

Hi! Seemingly out of nowhere, Source Sans Pro will not display in design mode in Muse 2014. To see the font correctly, I need to preview in browser. I also can't see the formatting (bold, etc.), though it's there. Any help appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't have that folder, nor the one listed here for 2014: Re: Source Sans Pro not displaying in 'Design' mode

Dashboard fonts not displaying correctly

Hello. In Dashboard, the default Apple widgets (Weather,Calendar, etc.) have outlined white fonts instead of filled in fonts. I think it's a problem with the Helvetica Neue font, but I have resolved all my duplicates and the problem still exists. What else could be the problem?
Thanks

Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
Sometimes the images work like right now.
2. This is the time when the images do not work.

Hi all the real problem was this...
The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

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 gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config 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.

Lucida Grande Font Not Displaying in DW correctly

Hi all,
I am having problems with specifying "Lucida Grande" font in DW CS6 (Mac). This only happens in CS6 not CS4. Wonder if anyone else has similar problems?
Below is how it appears in Dreamweaver CS6
Page displays perfectly in CS4.
I have taken out Lucida Grande font from my style sheets and it displays correctly, which is how I know it has something to do with the font.
Thank you for any help in advance!

Many people do not have your font on their system so they
won't see it.

Can anyone help?

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Could you try the following workaround?
1. Close Muse
2. Rename the folders named tk1 and tk2 in the following locations
For Muse CC 2014 (the latest version)
On Windows: %appdata%\com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0\Local Store. You can type this in the Path bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window
On Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0/Local Store. You can type this in the Go To Folder dialog (Shift+Command+G)
For prior versions
On Windows: %appdata%\AdobeMuse\Local Store. You can type this in the Path bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window
On Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/AdobeMuse/Local Store. You can type this in the Go To Folder dialog (Shift+Command+G)
3. Launch Muse and add the font again
Please let me know if that helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
Anyone else notice this?

It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

Fonts not displaying correctly on one computer

This issue applies to the past couple versions of FF. I am currently on 35.0.1 on a Windows 7 computer. I have similar configurations on several other Windows 7 computers and have not experienced this issue.
Basically the issue as that fonts on certain pages either do not display at all, or may just look like a long underscored ( __________ ).
I have experienced this issue on a number of different sites, so it's not site specific. The attached screenshot of the Facebook login screen is a perfect example of what I mean.
I have also attached a screen shot from another site where the words of a text menu just show ups as a line. The menu is at the top right of the image (highlighted and circled).
I have toggled the hardware acceleration option based on other suggestions and it does not resolve the issue.

You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.
*about:config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Fonts not displaying on some computers

I created a document in Microsoft Publisher on my laptop (running Windows XP SP2) and created a .pdf using the "Save as postscript" funcion and Acrobat Distiller (5.0)
I emailed it to our webmaster who put it up on our webpage.
Now, when I go to view it from the website on my desktop computer (Windows XP SP2) in Mozilla Firefox, the fonts are not displaying properly.
As a test, I emailed it to myself and tried to view it from just within Acrobat on the desktop computer and they're not displaying properly that way, either.
The document displays correctly when viewed from my laptop, both in Acrobat and in Mozilla Firefox.
I am concerned that others will not be able to view the fonts either, and as the purpose of this document is to have clients choose the font they prefer for ordering merchandise, it is imperative that they be able to see the fonts!
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem?
Thank you!
Tracy

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer and selecting a settings of print or press (not the standard). Saving to PS is likely a Publisher issue and they may not have indicated to embed the fonts. You might be able to get around that in Distiller if you choose a settings file other than Std (same as for using the printer).
