Safari displays unreadable symbols

Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, (I have made no font changes or additions in ages) Safari has started displaying unreadable garbage in fonts other than the ones I specify in Safari preferences. No matter what fonts I specify, they remain the same; however, my font SIZE preferences do change the font sizes.
Any tips on how I can fix this?

Thanks for your screenshot. Unfortunately responding by email did not work -- relaying denied, user unknown.
I've not seen your particular case before. But it is certainly just another bad font that needs to be removed, probably with the name Helvetica or Times and something added to it to reflect the content, which seems to be currency symbols and stuff you might use to write checks or enter financial figures. Probably in Home/Library/Fonts. Sorry I don't know the exact name. If you go into FontBook and look at the sample pane for your fonts, when this one is selected it will show this stuff instead of abcdefg etc.
Do tell me the name if you find it.

Firefox not displaying certain symbols

I can't display certain symbols on Firefox.
Example: <code><span>&equiv;</span></code> does not show anything on the page I'm working on. However, a symbol like <code> <span>&rsaquo;</span> </code> would show.
I discovered a hack that displays the symbol by changing the tag. <code><h4>&equiv;</h4></code> with an h1, h2 tag and so on, it will display the symbol. This hack, however is semantically incorrect and I don't want it in my site just so the symbol can display on Firefox. My site already has the <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> just as this one.
Any suggestions?

Okay, so this is what I did: I took the whole source code of that page http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/2000-2FFF which displays all the symbols correctly, but as soon as I changed the symbol tag from td to span it vanished. So it looks that when wrapped on some tags, the symbols won't display.
A little more information, I'm working on a Wordpress theme, but I did a plain HTML page with the same results. The symbol displays on Safari, Chrome and Opera, I'm yet to try it on IE.

Display Currency symbol with value in ALV Report

Hi Experts,
I need to display currency symbol with value in ALV Report like if currency type is dollar then $200.
Here I am using field catalog type slis_t_fieldcat_alv and suing field merge catalog FM: 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
I tried like this
    IF <fs_fieldcat>-fieldname = 'STPRS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_s = 'Std Cost '.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_m = 'Std Cost'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_l = 'Std Cost '
       <fs_fieldcat>-tabname = 'MBEW'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-ctabname = 'T001'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-cfieldname ='WAERS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-datatype = 'CURR'.
    ENDIF.
Please any one can suggest the solution for this.
Advance Thanks.

User wants to display the % symbol beside the value

Hi all,
I have a key figure ..which is added to formula(aggregation tab set as average of a characteristic).
its displaying average correctly in the report output ,but user want it to be displayed % symbol beside that .
how can i do that ..
For other KPI ..i got the requirement as A-B/B and here i applied A-B %A B and its working fine.
What if i need to put % symbol beside a value ??

Hi Bilvanth ,
You can follow the below steps to achieve the desired output :
1) Create a formula in the query designer . Suppose your key figure is Y which you want to display with % symbol .
Take this key figure in the formula . Then from the Percentage Functions choose (%A)Percentage Share. Then after this write 100 .
So your formula would be : Y %A 100 .
2) Hide your original key figure Y and display this formula in the report . It will come with the percentage symbol .
Hope the above steps will help you to achieve the desired output .
Thanks & regards,

Hi, I have selected earse content and settings in general settings, after that my iphone displays apple symbol only. Did i spoil my iphone?

Hi, I have selected earse content and settings in general settings, after that my iphone displays
apple symbol only. Did i spoil my iphone?

It takes a very long time, depending on the size 8,16,32GB?
it can take over a few hours.
if it doesn't work over 24hrs connect it to a computer using itunes, and choose update, it'll update it with the newest firmware.

Safari Display doesn't cover screen

My Safari displays in Portrait in the middle of the screen. I need it to display in landscape and cover the whole screen when I'm on the internet.

I am confused. Can't you click on the edge of the window and drag it?

Display Currency Symbol disabled, but symbol prints if currency in a text formula. Why?

Our Crystal Report displays money fields (from our SQL database).
Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default when writing reports.
On one report we have a Sell_Amount currency field to display:
We have this Sell_Amount field directly on the report in one section.
We also have this Sell_Amount field in a formula for printing in a different section. This formula is defined as a text field as it will either display 'No Charge' or the Sell_Amount based on a condition, such as: If {NoCharge} Then 'No Charge' Else ToText(Sell_Amount)
When viewing this report on our development machine in Crystal Designer, the Currency Symbol does not show for either the Sell_Amount field that is directly on the report or for the Sell_Amount that is in the formula (I am guessing because we have the Display Currency Symbol disabled).
When viewing on a runtime machine (no Designer, just runtime components), the formula (if NoCharge = False) displays the Sell_Amount (in the formula) WITH the currency symbol, but the Sell_Amount that is directly on the report (not in the formula) does not display the currency symbol. Why?
This has been an issue ever since were were on Crystal 8 way back when. We have never found (nor asked) for a reason, but now we need to know the reason/rules, etc. for this. We are currently on Crystal 2008 SP6 (Designer) and deploying Crystal Reports Developer for Microsoft Visual Studio SP6 runtime components. As I said, this has been an issue for years, but we now need an explanation. I have not been able to locate one on the site anywhere. Can you please explain the rules of Currency Symbol in this scenario?
Thank you.

Hi NB,
I did say to use the Advanced editor but I did not say to use it for attaching the report...
So to be clear here is what I see in the report Designer ( I put the formula into text boxes also ):
For the NoDatabaseCurrency field you have to set the currency to Fixed, Floating will add a space:
Which is opposite of what you originally posted:
"...Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default..."
It's not disabled by default, please explain?
As for using the CCUR() function the help file does show the Currency symbol is on by default:
Examples
The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:
CCur (200.20)
In Crystal syntax this is equivalent to writing $200.20. In Basic syntax, CCur (200.20) is the way to directly create a Currency value of 200.20.
CCur ("$200.20")
Returns the Currency value CCur (200.20) given the String value "$200.20".
CCur ("two hundred dollars")
Causes an error to occur. The CCur function cannot convert the String "two hundred dollars" to a Currency value.
So if you mean you went into the Options menu and Fields, Currency and check off this option:
[Update] - After testing this a few times it does retain the Options, current, Display Currency Symbol, so creating a new report the option is unchecked.
You are correct, even though I checked it off when I create a new report the option is checked on and obviously it's still on for each field and object. This may be a bug, testing more and checking with a few more people and eventually R&D.
So please clarify the steps you are doing?
Make sure you are running CR Designer under local PC Admin rights, right click on the short cut and select run as Administrator or check this option on:
Thanks

My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters

My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters. Is there a fix for this or does anyone have an idea what may be going on? I have looked at my fonts and everything seems to be working just fine. I can't quite figure out why this only happens to certain text and not others. But I can't read half of the pages on the web because of this. I can copy the mixed up text out of Safari and past it in another application and the copy is in perfect english then.
an example of what I am talking about is below:
(Kvg"Urgekhkeu"/Crmg"/"Crmg"Fgumvqru
Here is what it says when I copy the same characters out of Safari and paste them below:
(Item Specifics - Apple Desktops)
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

I work as a graphic designer so I keep a very clsoe eye on my font library. In fact I don't use font Book, I use Suitcase Fusion. But i went to font book and double checked and I don't have any duplicae fonts in there. Would you have any other ideas?
thanks for your help!

Safari displaying Excite mail page properly

I have problems with how safari displays my excite mail page. Safari 4.0.4
The frame on the left which shows in boxes and junk etc. is cropped.
I only use a single button mouse and I can shift the frame over but I cant move it back and then it does not display the names of the boxes.
I have tried everything from resetting safari clearing all the cookies etc.
This does not happen in other browsers like Firefox, Camino or Opera.
Can you tell me what the issue is please or how to fix it.
I have Multiple Sclerosis so I am a bit slow and stupid. Please try and explain in full please.

HI Jeremy,
I have a good friend with MS. Never a bit slow and certainly not stupid.
The problem here is that Excite Mail's system requirements mentioned here; Excite Mail do not include Safari. Their browser requirements are woefully outdated.
At least you can use an alternate browser.

Safari displays a .qfx file rather than writing it

When I connect to my local bank and direct it to download my transactions record as a .qfx file, Safari displays the contents of the file on the window, rather than writing the data to a .qfx file. I do not see this behavior with FireFox. Java scripts are enabled.
I'm running OSX 10.9 on a MacBook Pro.

Hi guys
Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

How to display infinity symbol in Crystal Reports using PDF as output

Hi
I need to show infinity symbol (u221E) in reports. I am using a formula and based on certain criteria i have to display infinity symbol.
If (somthing ) then show 'Error' (String)
else if something then 'u221E' (String)
This works fine in RPT file preview , but when opens in PDF , it shows ? mark as if not understood.
I used ChrW (Number) but it has until 255 and does not have a number for infinity
Can someone let me know how do i do this

Thanks for your reply
The version is JRC 11.8.4.1197
It would not be feasible to upgrade at this moment, we are already in production and need a solution for showing infinity in PDF.
Can you suggest something using crystal formulas could be possible or any other solution please .

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

Safari Displays Unexpected Date Value

I want to use the following script in my company website www.todoroffs.com, in order to always display the current year value within my copyright notice at the bottom of the pages:
<script>
     var today=new Date()
     var todayy=today.getYear()
     document.write(""todayy"")
     </script>
Safari displays the value "105" while other browsers display the desired value "2005".
Furthermore, I want to use the following script which is a variant of the first script:
<script>
     var today=new Date()
     var todayy=today.getYear()
     document.write(""todayy-1914"")
     </script>
Safari displays the value "-1809" while other browsers display the desired value "91".
Is this a bug in Safari? Is there a work-around?
Thank you.

Hi iBod,
I am not familiar with getFullYear( ).
I modified my code as follows:
Copyright © 1997–getFullYear( )
Safari and others display it as:
Copyright © 1997getFullYear( )
What is the proper syntax and format?
Thank you.

Safari display has gone nuts

Yesterday my Safari display has gone nuts. Just displays a long list of items on the website....no graphics and the links don't work. Every site is the same.
I did a restart.....I did a shutdown....still the same.
Firefox works fine.
I tried to find a download to reinstall Safari but no luck.
How can I get Safari working again?
thanx
Peachie

Well, I only have one extension: AdBlock. I disable that and now it works fine...everything is loading.
But it used to work fine with adblock enabled. What has changed?
Without Adblock I find Safari difficult to use.
Thanx for your reply.
