Safari's Fonts got BOLD

I can't find a way to restore safari's original fonts. I have tried changing more and more on safari's preferences\appearance but I still got the same bold font, I don't like. I also have checked on safari's section forum but didn't have any luck. If anyone knows how to restore to the normal with no bold font, please reply or forward a link to a post that already solve this problem.

HI,
We aren't privy to when software updates will show up nor what they will include.
Try maintenance..
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.
Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. 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.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If nothing above helps, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If Safari fonts are ok, then move that .plist file to the Trash.

Safari 3 font too bold

I have scoured Google and this forum and find no one talking about this, yet I have seen it on several machines: Safari 3 is making my bold fonts "crazy bold"...
The problem does not exist in Safari 2, and removing the bold just makes the font look regular (as you would expect it to look without a bold attribute). I even tried using numeric bold values (100-900), but they all display the same.
Any thoughts on what this issue might be and, more importantly, how to resolve it?
I'm having the problem on Mac OS X and Safari 3 only (IE6/7, FF2/3, and Safari 2 all look just fine (and Safari 3 on PC looks fine too)).
Many thanks,
Atg

In all cases, the font is supposed to be Arial Bold. The problem could be either corrupt font cache files, or the fonts themselves. For a possible easy fix, download and run Font Finagler to clear the system's font cache files.
If that doesn't do it, try putting a fresh copy of your OS X supplied fonts back on the hard drive. The instructions on how to do that without reinstalling the entire OS are at the bottom of my article, Font Management in OS X. Clear the font cache files again after reinstalling the fonts.

Font-weight:bold; - works in firefox, safari, internet explorer 6 BUT NOT ie7

font-weight bold; on an external css style sheet is working in every browser (INCLUDING ie6) but NOT ie7?
I just don't get it. It even works in ie6.
NOTE:   One thing I should mention is that I have a conditional Internet Explorer statement, for a Internet Explorer-specific style sheet that targets ie6 and ie7.
But I don't think that's the issue because every other style is working properly EXCEPT font-weight:bold. This is absolutely maddening.
I tried searching around for solutions and the only lead i found was writing [ font-weight:bold !important; ] using that '!important' statement I thought would somehow force ie7 to acknowledge it. But no dice. It failed.
Here is the accursed code:
#date {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold !important;   /*   bold not showing up in ie7 !!! */
font-size:.85em;   /* Is font-size affecting bold in ie7 ?? - was 85% */
color:#000000;
text-transform:uppercase;
margin-bottom:-.75em;
margin-top:6em;
Again, it works in every browser, including ie6...BUT NOT in IE7.
Any help will keep me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

So it's still not BOLD in ie7.
- My css is validated.
- My HTML still shows 19 errors with 3 warnings, which is down from 31 errors with 3 warnings.
• Although most of these errors are directly from the 'Active Content' JavaScript that Dreamweaver places within your HTML when you insert Flash SWF files on your page. So I don't think I can even correct that.
• The next series of errors concern the P element. Which I think are because in 5 Paragraphs in a row, I gave them each the same relationship attribute (rel="lightbox[blog02]"). Why else would these paragraphs come up as errors when every other paragraph is perfectly fine? The errors the validator says are happening, aren't happening. It says that certain P tags aren't closed and it's not true, I can see with my own eyes that they are. I think the 'rel' values are confusing the validator?
All the major errors I took care of though. I replaced all the repeating ID attributes with CLASS attributes. I really thought that would have done it, but no. However, at least I'm no longer getting ID errors when attempting to validate.
So now I'm stumped.
I have no clue what to do next with something I thought would be so simple. I mean give me a break. I'm just trying to BOLD a line of text...smh.
So currently every browser, including the illicit ie6, shows the BOLD...BUT NOT IE7.
Sorry for the all caps, it's just so ridiculous to me.
Although I learned that validating your styles and sites is an important step in publishing your site. I also learned how to properly use ID and CLASS attributes.
However if anyone out there can point me in the right direction, it would still be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Normal font looks bold. How can I make it look normal?

Hi.
Installed the latest build from webkit.org yesterday and finally got the missing text to be visibla again.
BUT... Normal (text) fonts as set in:
font-weight: normal;
does not look normal... they look like a bold font.
What is the reason for this behaviour?
Can I fix that by changing some settings or do I have to wait for another release of the Safari 3 Beta for windows?

So there isn't any difference between OOO and OOO?
If there's a difference then it's probably Safari's Font smoothing that make it look like its bold. Try to change it to light instead of medium;
Go to Edit > Preference > Appearance -> Font smoothing
Hope it helps,
Emil
Good luck

How to stop size of JTextField from changing when I change font to bold

I'm working on a Sudoku solver for a CS project. I've got JTextFields for the input. I want to bold the entries of the begining puzzle, like they are in the magazines. When I set the font to bold, it changes the size of the text field. I'm using the gridbaglayout and have tried everything to set in stone the size of a text field, but nothing seems to work. I've set the maximum, minimum size, the setSize method, as well as setting the prefered size. But no matter, when I change the font from plain to bold, the box grows in size. How do I prevent this from happening. I can post my gui code if it would help.
Here is a link to my grid, with the upper left square having bold text:
http://12.227.129.113/CS486/Project4/Project4.html

add them to panel/s set as a gridlayout 9 x 9, or (3 x 3) x (3 x 3)
simple demo of a 9 x 9
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
JTextField[] tf = new JTextField[81];
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(9,9,5,5));
    for(int x = 0, y = tf.length; x < y; x++)
      tf[x] = new JTextField(2);
      tf[x].setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
      p.add(tf[x]);
    tf[0].setFont(tf[0].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[0].setText("9");
    tf[1].setText("3");
    tf[66].setFont(tf[66].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[66].setText("9");
    getContentPane().add(p);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

[SOLVED] wine arial font only bold and italic

Last edited by sant527 (2009-12-01 11:07:16)

The problem got solved when I copy pasted the fonts from /usr/share/fonts/TTF to wine fonts folder.
Now arial looks fine as of windows.

IWeb 09 - Missing font BellGothicStd-Bold

Hi,
I created a site (Treasure theme), but everytime I open it I got message : Missing font BellGothicStd-Bold. Any idea why?
Thanks in advance.

Open Font Book, locate the font and deactivate it. Then reactivate it. Launch iWeb and see if you still get the message.
I have no Treasure theme in my iWeb. Is this a 3rd party theme that you installed? The BellGothicStd font is not a Web Safe Font and, as such, will not be viewed the same on computer that do not have that font installed. You can convert any text boxes using that font into an image by applying a drop shadow at 5% opacity. However, that will keep the text from search engines and add to the "weight" of the page for loading.
Is your site published on line? If so what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

How do I change the font to bold for a label in a check box item

I am having no success with this and my internet searches throw me all over the place with no success. Can someone please explain how to change fonts for items in the most simple and basic terms. Thanks

Use HTML Form Element Attributes and type there something like style="font-weight:bold" or Form Element Option Attributes and class="fielddatabold". See my demo app for that:

I have Firefox 9.0.1, and a few days ago my font became Bold, I am using Times New Roman, this seems to be also the case in IE, but the Chrome is not affected, also the fonts in my Word are fine, how can I fix this problem? Thanks!

Firefox 9.0.1,
When i write in the search box on Google the font is bold and on some website it is bold also in the gmail but on other sites it is fine.
Please let me know how can I fix this.

So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
What are your current default font settings?
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

Ssrs 2008 r2 writingmode=rotate270 font is bold on report server

In a ssrs 2008 r2 report, I am using writingmode=rotate270 to change the direction of header columns for detailed data on the SSRS report. The font in visual studio is 'light'. However when the report is deployed to the report server, the font weight is
bold.
Thus can you tell me if there is a workaround to make the font not bold when it is executed on the report server? If so, can you tell me how to solve the font problem so the font is not bold when writingmode=rotate270 when executed on the report server?

Hi Wendy,
I am able to reproduce the issue in both SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM Reporting Services and the latest version of SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 CU10, Build number 10.50.4297). In addition, based on my test, it is fixed in SQL Server
2012 SP1 Reporting Services.
To work around this issue, you can place images in the column header cells and make the rotation of the text in the images. Besides, I would suggest you submitting a wish at

Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple productivity program. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

How can I change breadcrumb font to bold?

Hi -- I need to change the font on all (current and non) breadcrumb entries to bold. I tried the folliowing in the template
(for now, just in the current page breadcrumb entry) but it's not doing anything. I added the:
<style type="text/css">font-weight:bold</style>
<li class="t15Current"><span>#NAME#</span><style type="text/css">font-weight:bold</style></li>
It shows up in the page source, no errors are generated. I've also tried it within the <span> tags.
I know it must be an easy fix!
Thanks,
Carol

Ooop, well, I can see that this didn't post correctly. Not sure what markup to use... here's a kludge:
li class="t15Current"><span>#NAME#</span><style type="text/css">font-weight:bold</style></li>
Assume "<" to start with.
