Safari fonts randomly changed - help!

Hi! I just transferred a bunch of TrueType fonts from my old Windows computer to my MacBook, and now the font in Safari is changed! I went to Safari Preferences > Font and it still says Times, so I don't think it realizes it's changed LOL
Any idea how I can fix it?

I skimmed through the list, fortunately the "offender" was in the B's or else it may have taken a while! and deleted it, then I emptied Safari's cache and restarted Safari and it was fixed!!
Thank you both so much!!
(Meanwhile discovering this forum has also led to me finding out how to make Safari run faster, so yay! for that too)

  • System, web fonts randomly change to italic?

    My system, web fonts randomly change to italic?
    Have tried searching through all the preferences but can't find out why it's doing this.
    Some days it does it, some days it doesn't and I can't work out what's driving it.
    Any help much appreciated.

  • 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 font size changing as if by magic !

    while using Safari on my new al macbook , the font size will just change, seemingly on its own, if I close the window and reopen, it will return to the font size set in Preferences. Does anyone know what is going on? thank you joanlvh

    as far as I can tell there is no pattern, it might happen on Huffington Post in the am, but not in the pm, the computer is just 3 days old so I don't think i can put the blame on History or Cache, this is the 5th apple laptop i have had in 3+ years and I have never seen this occur before, It seems, can't be sure to happen when I click the curser and the cursor is in the top right area of the screen. It is only happening with safari, not Mail or other applications, I have set the Safari Preferences for text size.
    ps scratch the right corner idea, it just happened when I was typing and the cursor was in the bottom left and I did not click but started to move the cursor

  • WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

    Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

    It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
    font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
    Would you be willing to try version 31?

  • Change Help font size

    Hello,
    I don't know if this is really a Universal Access topic. I have what I think is average eyesight for someone just past 40 anyway.
    But trying to read the built-in online help for any application convinces me I need glasses!!
    Dictionary.app has a font size widget in its toolbar, why not Help? Mac OS X wants so badly to use miniscule 3 point type for things that it is almost torture.
    I would like to increase the default font size in a safe way (Snow Leopard, 10.6.2).
    If possible, it would be nice to have a font face / size changer widget that would work on any window of any application, with a checkbox to make it the default for that window pane.
    Thanks for your comments. I'm thinking of registering it with Apple's Bug Reporter as a UI bug since it is.
    Matt

    FYI I have registered it as a bug at bugreport.apple.com
    Problem ID: 7579066
    26-Jan-2010 09:19 AM Matt Rosin:
    Summary:
    Font size increase/decrease widget missing from the Help application used by all applications.
    Dictionary.app has it, Help needs it.
    Also the two fingered font zoom gesture needs to be enabled for the Help pane.
    The default font size is too small for people over 40 and is an Accessibility issue as well as a UI mistake.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Open Safari
    Under Help, select Safari Help.
    Expected Results:
    Font in a readable font size. At least it should enable two fingered frame zoom gesture to zoom font size. Should also include the a/A font size changer widget that is used in Dictionary.app.
    Actual Results:
    Text is way too small to read.
    Regression:
    Would not be a problem if Safari's ordinary html rendering was used, and probably would be more flexible / higher quality. You could put movies in Help, open a two-way iChat with the developer, fill out a form, etc.
    Notes:

  • Browser fonts changed, Help!

    I downloaded some fonts to use for a digital graffiti art project. I installed them on my computer using fontbook. Somehow, (accidentally) all my browsers' (safari, opera, chrome, and firefox) fonts got changed to one of the graffiti fonts. Really hard to read! It's only some of the text though. All the text on this site appears normal, in google most text is changed to the graffiti text and it's the same with a lot of other sites. I'm not sure how to change it back. Can anybody help?
    Message was edited by: davelicious

    The font you installed is a piece of garbage that has incorrect internal names which conflict with the fonts they're bumping. Remove it and things should return to normal.

  • Safari Font Help!

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro and I have been moving my font collection (which is huge) from my PC to my Mac. After I finished installing my fonts I decided to browse around on the Internet. Somehow, during my font process, my Internet font was changed to one of my fonts which is kind of hard to read. I've gone into the Safari font preferences and tried to change the main font. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

    I'm having trouble with fonts in Safari too. I set them to the original fonts, but nothing changes. I used Font Book to validate my fonts. I deleted all bad or duplicate fonts and now validating my fonts shows no problems. But still, websites come up BOLD. I've read about other people with problems like this. Short of reinstalling my system software (which I'd like to avoid doing), is there a fix? I've gone through a bunch of solutions I've found on Apple discussions and none of them work. Help!

  • HT4561 After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

  • Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

    Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
    When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
    Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
    Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
    So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

    Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
    Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
    I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
    All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

    If your fonts are changing when viewed on other computers - epecially those running windows - you need to look at using web-safe fonts...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Fonts-Colors.html
    Also make sure you clear your browser cache before viewing you published files.

  • Font Pack Changed All My Fonts! Please Help!

    I Just got a new Font pack for Photoshop and installed all the fonts and now all of the sudden all my fonts have changed to somethign crazy I can barely read! When I browse the internet in any browser all the content is in this same crazy font, how do I change it back to default????

    Most likely the font cache files on the system got trashed.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    I have had this same problem.
    It has been occurring ever since I updated from the Safari 4 Public Beta to the official Safari 4. I even updated the other day to Safari 4.1--but it still hangs and crashes.
    I have been sending error reports only half the time it occurs. Usually I can't get past two pages, and it will hang on a page that has a lot of flash or java content--which I thought they had said if there was a problem with plugins in Safari 4, only the plugin would crash instead of the whole application. It seems to be the other way around, unfortunately.
    I wish I had Time Machine set up so I could just roll back to the beta version and not deal with it, but I don't have an external drive to do that with.
    Funny thing is, I run Windows Vista Business in Parallels--and I have to go to Windows to fix my Mac problem. Isn't this supposed to be the other way around? Haha, it's Vista nonetheless!
