Safari Font has changed on some web pages

The font on my Safari application has changed for some sites including YouTube and Yahoo. Most other sites are unaffected, including Apple's site. The font is hard to read and I cannot figure out how to get it to go back to it's "factory setting" so to speak.
I've tried going to Safari on the status bar. Then to Preferences>Appearance and changed both standard font and fixed-width font to Times at size 16. This has not solved my problem. Default encoding is "Western (Mac OS Roman)
I don't know if it is related, but I recently installed a large pack of fonts to use in Photoshop. The problem started somewhat after that.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Phil --
Without a uploaded photo of the garbled font,
I would suggest looking for Helvetica Fractions if
the garbled font has some numbers in it.
You may have duplicates of Helvetica, or Helvetica Neue
or Arial. The font you're talking about seems to be a sans serif,
so I would start carefully look at Helvetica and Arial (all subsets, too)
in Font Book.

  • Safari will not finish loading some web pages

    I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc).  It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
    Some web pages work fine, but some don't.  For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari.  Links or images will be missing.  I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form.  I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine.  Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
    I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem.  I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference.  Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user.  I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect.  Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement.  At least I think I was in safe mode.  I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key.  The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode."  Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
    Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari.  Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

    To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you.  I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me.  After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer.  I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
    Here was the solution:
    I opened Finder
    Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
    Opened Preferences
    Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
    Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again.  Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

  • Internet browsers safari and chrome not loading some web pages

    My wb browsers (chrome and safari) are running like a dog on some websites.. For instance, not able to login to Apple Community page on Safari had to login on Chrome. Same is true of some pages on Chrome.  Not sure if there is a bug? Any tips?
    Thanks.
    V 10.6.8

    Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so, check the Little Snitch preference panel (under System Preferences) to make sure that there are not any Little Snitch rules denying Safari access to any ports. If only HTTPS sites are being effected, specifically check the rule for Port 443, as Safari needs Little Snitch to allow connections to that.
    I am not sure, but I think the update changed these rules around, at least on my computer.

  • Why since I installed Microsoft update KB2545698, the policy(size & style) of some web pages has changed?

    the policy(size & style) of some web pages has changed.

    Well, finally i'm wondering if that was caused by the FF5 update...When running FF5 in safemode the text does render correctly.

  • Why Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages?

    Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages, while Firefox 3.5.7 works like a charm.
    I tried to open http://www.bdnews24.com/bangla/ for which Safari gets stuck (never opens the page, except for the first word of the first line), but Firefox shows the page very well. The same problem happens for some other web sites as well (e.g. http://www.prothom-alo.com/).
    (I have Ekushey Bengali AAT fonts, and they are working fine in Firefox and other applications. So this cannot be a font issue.)

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Make sure you are running Safari in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
    In case it could be a font issue in the future this may help.
    Try clearing the font cache. In order to do that you need to boot in Safe Mode.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. During startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, even if normally you log in automatically. Boot time is a minute or two longer than a normal boot.
    After your Mac boots to the Desktop restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
    What this process does... It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/
    Restart your Mac and try Safari.

  • Safari won't load some web pages.

    Ever since installing Mavericks, Safari won't load some web pages (including these Apple support pages). I'm able to load the pages using Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know of any settings in Safari 7 or the Mavericks system preferences that would be causing this?
    -Greg

    I had the same problem... I ran disk repair and repaired all permissions on the HD then reopened safari now it's working fine.

  • Safari won't show some web pages properly.

    After re-loading OS X 10.3.9 on my Powerbook g4 1.25ghz, 1.25memory and updating all updates. Safari now won't load Facebook completely. All other web pages seem to be loading OK. I usually use Firefox but I can't seem to get ANY version of that web browser to load now. So I'm stuck with Safari that won't load Facebook.
    I've tried deleting caches and Safari prefs…didn't work.

    Ok..
    That's an outdated version of Safari for sure and explains why web pages aren't rendering as they should for you.
    Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
    Hopefully the Software Update will bring your Mac up to speed. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    In case you aren't aware, you can run Tiger or Leopard on your PBookG4.
    Tiger v10.4 minimum requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1514
    Minimum requirements for Leopard v10.5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
    You are running an outdated Mac OS X, v10.3. Apple released Panther in 2003. Unless you upgrade the Mac OS X and Safari, you will continue to have problems using Facebook and other sites as well on the PBook.

  • My MBP can't open some web pages

    Hello.
    I have problem with opening some web pages. It doesn't matter on the browser. It happens as in Safari as in Chrome. All browsers are updated. My MPB is updated. Problem is not in router. My gf has the same MBP and she can open the pages which I can't.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Resume:
    Lion 10.7.1, the latest Chrome and Safari, other computers in my network works fine (win/mac), example of page which I can't open: www.adobe.com

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't think that reporting the pages to apple would do much good as it's not the pages themselves that are the issue, it's something on my system that prevents them from opening up properly. My laptop will open the pages without any issue, however my desktop isn't able to for god knows what reason. I know others on this board have had similar problems.

  • Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

    Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7,  when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
    1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
    2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible,  massively burdened and then just crash.
    3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
    I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

    it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
    There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
    Browser  of course matters probably the most.
    I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
    So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
    Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
    Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
    Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

  • Impossible see some web pages

    Hi there,

    I have a problem with some web pages of internet, on my MBA 13, some pages works fine, other  with safari, chrome, firefox or any other web browser comes a message with: impossibile to view this page.. and I', !00% sure that the pages exist.
    I did all, cache and dns cleaning tryed to install a different browser nothing same still message and I'm sure that the website or the pages are online, because if I'm using the same network, with the iphone, iMac I see the pages..
    Please if somebody has an idea please let me know how to resolve this.. problem
    thanks

    I see what you are referring to. The HTML for the site may be written so that not all the content can be printed.
    Try taking a screen shot of the window. Launch Grab located in /Applications/Utilities
    Then  Shift + Command + W to take a screen shot of the window. From the Grab menu bar top of your screen click File > Print
    You may need to take two screen shots in order to get the entire window.

  • Sentences overlap each other on some web pages rendering them unreadable..is there a solution?

    On some web pages the lettering is eerily similar to the ink running. Often one line appears over to of another.
    I have attempted changing the font size but I get the same result.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

  • Can't open some web pages... DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX THAT WORKS?

    I'm unable to open certain web pages. The pages will start to open and than the application will just stall. This seems to have coincided with downloading a security update a while back. I've tried downloading firefox and it too will not open these specific pages. I've searched the forum and as of now I can't find a solution. From what I've hear, Apple isn't even acknowledging that there is an issue. I've repaired permissions, deleted Safari plist files, all with no improvement. I know for a fact that it is not my internet connection, as my powerbook can navigate to these sites without any issues, however my powermac seems to have "forgotten" how to open some web pages.
    Any fixes would be enourmously appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply.

  • I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb.  iweb crashes every time I try to publish

    First do the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
