Safari Rendering Site Text Poorly
Hello- Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I've created a site (in RapidWeaver) and lately, Safari is rending the text pretty poorly. I don't know if its the font I'm using or if its Safari. Looks nicer in Windows 7 and Firefox (can't believe I'm saying that).
Any thoughts? Is it OS X, Safari or Fonts I'm using?
Thanks for the help.

Mr. Bill--
If the site in question is on the link you gave, it read fine on my MacBook. It might be Safari, but having had some website building experience (and enough HTML to be considered dangerous), my guess is that it's your font. Keeping in mind that Arial, Time New Roman, and (for some bizarre reason) Courier are considered "standard" and renderable on all computers--and anything else may/may not be iffy--is why I'm thinking font.
OSX shouldn't be your culprit; the OS should have no bearing on what something looks like per se. It --might--be Safari...but like I said: the site in question is on the link you gave, it looked okay to me.
Hope this helps--

Safari rendering default text with condensed font?
Has anyone else experienced this in the last few days?
All of a sudden Safari is rendering default text with a different font, a light, condensed one.
The side-by-side shows the Wordpress Admin menu on my Macbook & on my iMac.
The Macbook is still rendering as always, the iMac now has this new font.
Aside from within the Wordpress Admin area, I'm seeing the same thing in various other places you'd expect to see a default font, for default text.
It's not the end of the world but considering I haven't done anything to cause the change I'm concerned it's something malicious causing it,
any insights anyone?
Thanks in advance.Installled any third party fonts lately?
And check for duplicate fonts.
Open the Font Book in your Applications folder.
From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates -
Why is it that text in Mavericks and Safari renders as medium gray and not black, anymore?
Why is it that text in Mavericks and Safari renders as medium gray and not black, anymore? In Mountain Lion and Safari 6.x this was not a problem.
Have registered the following to the feedback link above by macjack:
Mavericks renders most text as a gray (65 +/- in all three RGB using Digital Color Meter) and not black.
This is a big change from pre-Mavericks and is especially difficult in Safari; worse still in Safari "Reader" where sub-heads in Reader-ized text are still paler.
Especially for older eyes this does not fly. This user is close to downgrading to Mountain Lion and Safari 6, where this was not a problem.
Stout rap on the nose: Jony Ive should be shorn of his glasses/contacts and forced to read only on these displays and OS versions until he cries out for the opthomalogist. One can only conclude this problem exists because those who came up with it were never in need of actually using it.
Make the text BLACK.
It's the same story on our MacBook Airs and MacBook Pro. -
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.

PDF in browser rendered as Text
We're trying to render SMARTFORMS outpur as PDF within our WebDynpro
application. We've found several posts which have been very helpful
and I think we're close. When we try to show the pdf a client browser window
is spawned and the content is rendered as text within the browser (shown below).
It looks like I'm not setting the content-type in the response header correctly.
Below is the code we're using.
Much Thanks,
Greg
/* Code used to launch browser and view PDF */
String file_prefix = "rfq";
IWDCachedWebResource pdfResource = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(
pdfContent, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,
wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),
file_prefix );
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow( pdfResource.getURL(), "RFQ", false).open();

>>Hi,
Create a separate view to display PDF.
Create a frame on that view and attach its datasource to url.
Please go through the following code.
The return value URL should be used as source for Frame.

Text Problem - 'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'
Hello all,
The problem I'm having is that when I try to edit a text layer, the layout of the layer changes completely - I have a grey warning triangle in the affected layer thumbnail that states the following message when I hover over it :
'Font is present on system but requires a layout change'
When I double click to edit the text layer, the following warning dialog pops up:
'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'
I'm forced to click 'okay' to proceed which is when the layout of the text layer changes completely! Obviously this has massive implications for branding and page consitency!!
Now even if I have to do this the long way round, which means rebuilding each individual text layer for every single document, there is another problem, it appears that after I click 'OK' photoshop distorts the text! This means that I can't increase or decrease the font size to match it up! Same font, Same height, same AA, same weight, different circle radius!
Any help is massively appreciated,
I'm using CS5 64bit Cloud edition on Windows 7, I've already tried updating and reinstalling Photoshop but it doesnt remedy the problem, I've reinstalled a sample batch of the fonts affected and deleted any plugins
GULP!That warning is pretty clear - you don't appear to have the font on your system. Not sure what otehr answer you are looking for. The layout changes beyond that could be indicative of a million things like the original source layers having been heavily customized with manual kerning, used a different version of a seemingly similar font, have been created with glyph substitution on a system with a different language and whatever... Unless you mean you created the files yourself just yesterday and the warning appears despite nothing have changed, everything works as intended. If you think something is up, you need to provide more info.

Acrobat renders embedded text unsearchable by spreading out letters: why?
Something strange happened today when I created a single PDF page of a magazine and inserted it into the larger PDF of the entire magazine: all the letters in the words embedded in the single PDF page were automatically spread out, so this caption, in the single PDF page:
the commodore just faintly heard the words
HE WAS NOT MEANT TO HEAR”
appeared this way, on that same page within the larger PDF document:
t h e c o m m o d o r e j u s t f a i n t l y h e a r d t h e w o r d s
HE WA S NOT ME A N T TO H E A R ”
with white space inserted between most of the letters. This change effectively renders the text unsearchable, since no one is going to insert a space between letters when searching for words in the pdf.
Does anyone know why this happens? And is there any way of preventing it? If it helps, this spreading out of letters seems to happen more often in headers and captions than in columns of text. Thanks!Not sure, but were the fonts embedded. It looks like a font issue. You might also try scrolling through the text to see if the spaces are really there.

Spent some time trying to find a Safari download site with no success. I found lots of Safari sites but no Safari download site. Where is the iMac Safari download site?
(The following does not apply to users of Lion OS 10.7 or later)
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422
Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4, Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 4.1.3, Leopard uses Safari 5.0.6, and Snow Leopard uses Safari 5.1.x. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them, and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required. -
Safari "Top Sites" Website thumbnails not populating or staying stationary.
I am running Safari 5.1.7 on a PC running Windows 7 and I am wondering if Safari "Top Sites" will keep those thumb nail pages stationary and obey the order I am trying to keep them. Also, having issue with the Website thumnails are not populating. Help!
I, as well, have been experiencing the exact problem that both, drpilgrim60 and iainnicol have been experiencing! I am totally frustrated with this whole thing!!!! I have searched and searched the web for a solution, but to no avail! I decided to start using Safari because Firefox sold out to MicroSoft and now force their users to allow bing on the browser, which is the worst search engine on earth. I couldn't get rid of it from my browser, and I still can't.
I am so surprised that Apple has this discussion board yet has not said anything about the glitch with their program. Do they care? I would like to think so. I have been a Mac man ever since the Mac SE30, and will always use a MAC, unfortunately, my new Mac had died and I have had to use a PC (Piece of C---) for several months now. I hope that Apple addresses this issue, as soon as possible, on this thread. If not I will have to find another web browser to use. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a browser other than Chrome and Internet Explorer? -
My Safari Top Sites Page Flashing
My Safari Top Sites page suddenly started flashing and won't load properly but all other pages and sites seem to be okay. Everything is updated and the disk is fine.
Open the Finder. Click Go from the Finder menu bar then click Go to Folder.
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go the move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Check TopSites. -
How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC?
I am about to launch my first BC site for a client. I built the site using Muse. The client needs to update text and pics on their own using BC, which is fine, but when editing text, they are unable to create a link to another page. How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC? I can apparently do this in this post, but I don't see a way to do this for their site.
Grid control should be used if you have multiple dbs to manage.
But if you still want to install dbconsole, you can use dbca as already mentioned. it's much easier to do that using dbca.
With the manual method, you create the repository via emca -repos create.
Then you configure it using emca -config dbcontrol db. This will ask for sys passwords, ports setting etc... -
Safari rendering colors differently due to size.
I have a circular image that is RGB: 235 0 28.
When this image is 150px X 150px or less Safari renders the RGB as: 203 29 38, as soon as it is 151px X 151px or larger it renders the RGB as: 235 0 28 which is what it is if I open the file in Photoshop.
I've tried this test with both PNGS and GIFS any thoughts?
Safari is: Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17) on 10.8.2.
Thanks, BillDo you have a new URL? Did you clear your cache in Safari?

Safari not rendering Arabic text correctly
I have Safari 1.0.3 running on Mac OS 10.2.8 and it will not render Arabic text correctly. Isolated letters appear at about half the correct size, which makes pages readable but only with considerable difficulty and annoyance.
I saw some solutions here that related to removing Microsoft fonts, but I removed all fonts from Home:Library:Fonts and quite and restarted Safari, and the problem persists. I also downloaded Firefox 2.0 and the same issue occurs - with the added feature that the tab titles on Firefox also display this anomaly, whereas tab titles on Safari render Arabic correctly.
And by the way, if this issue can be resolved, can safari and other apps be got to use a font other than the extremely ugly and hard-to-read default?
iMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)Thanks Tom. The problem though is not that letters
that are meant to be connected are coming out
isolated; letters that are meant to be isolated, e.g.
initial alif, waw, ra and final letters after alif,
waw ra, are displaying way too small.
Sorry I misunderstood the problem.
Do you think it is worth trying your troubleshooting
tip no. 18? And do you have any idea what sort of
issue could be behind it that it would affect Firefox
too?
Yes, you may as well try no. 18. That tip, which really has no logic to it, reflects the fact that voodoo is sometimes required to get Jaguar to display Arabic correctly in browsers. Panther was a tremendous improvement in that regard. -
Firefox ignores CSS and renders sites poorly

Poor rendering of text of epub file
The actual text of the epub appears to be a zoomed in version of a jpeg file of the text - loss of edge clarity and distortion. However, the context menus appear sharp and fine. This should not be happening. This problem remains, and becomes more obvious, if I increase the font size.
Ok my images are removed...
But I cant give it up yet. Am I the only one experiencing this problem??? Here are 2 shrunk images. First from Acrobat Reader running on Mac OS 10.92:
Then Acrobat Reader on the same Mac Pro (late 2013) running on Windows 8.1:
