Safari Showing Garbled text why

I saw a similar post on this & there was a link to font Finagler. I tried it & still no luck. If I select the copy & past in a text edit doc. it reads fine. It also loads correctly in Fire Fox. So I believe it pertains strictly to Safari ? Here's a screen shot. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the links...not sure exactly what fixed it though. I tried Font Finagler and it didn't work. I also have Smasher so I ran that. After restarting, the same page I posted then changed all the garbled text to being squished into a tiny block. I found that out by selecting the page copying & pasting it to a new Text Edit Doc. I then went into Font Agent Pro & looked at Helvetica. Only one was activated (Helvetica Oblique) I then Activated Apples Helvetica. And wow it's showing right. So I guess some type of Helvetica conflict ? Anyway thanks for the help.

  • Report showing garbled text

    Hi,
    When I take a report on one particular machine at my client site, the report is shown is scrambled text.(non english, weird fonts).
    The same machine shows the issue once a while.
    However the same report works fine on all other machines.
    Any hints??
    Thanks
    Arun

    Is this report takes longer time to run as compare to other reports? The machine in question, has the same hardware/software configuration as other machines? How much ram that machine has?
    The report which comes up with junk characters, copy that pdf from the report server directory (do not use save as option from the pdf viewer, copy it from the server) and open it in other system and see if opens up correctly.

  • .bnk files rendered as garbled text in Safari

    I'm working with a customer who links to .BNK files from their web application. .BNK files are a proprietary educational format, and they open natively in education software installed on the computer. But for some reason, Safari attempts to render these files (as garbled text), rather than downloading them to open in the software. IE and Firefox don't have this problem when they're used to access the same files off of the same server. The files download properly in these other browsers.
    Does anyone know why Safari is trying to render the .BNK files and how we might be able to override that?

    Archive (.zip) them prior to upload.
    A .zip file will always download.

  • Garbled text in Safari after installing Lion

    After installing Lion, Safari now displays many pages with what appears to be missing font, garbled text. Many sites I've visted in the past (including my bank) just have "AAAAAAAA" wherever there's supposed to be text.
    My first thought is either missing font or font clash. I never had this under Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

    There are two problems that leads to this.
    Mismatching permissions
    Corrupted cache entry's
    First you should try to clear the safari cache.
    To do so, click on the Safari menu bar at Safari and choose there empty cache.
    If that does not solve the garbled fonts, perform a permission repair on your system disk, using the Disk Utility.
    Before doing that, close ALL running applications.
    Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair on file XY" while performing permission repair, cause this will happen as you perform the task on a running system and opened files can not get changed.
    If the problem persits, report back here.
    I recommend to perform anyway a permission repair after every major update, cause during the update process, very often file permissions get crumbled. This will also solve some other issues after system upgrades.

  • Garbled Text/Odd font in Safari since updating to Tiger.  Java related?

    I seem to be having a problem with Safari since I updated to Tiger.
    I'm running Safari 2.0.3, and have been encountering problems with garbled text in a strange font when Safari loads certain pages. The text often overlaps making it impossible to read.
    A friend thinks it might be Java related. I've tried clearing the cache and resetting Java, but it hasn't helped.
    Here's a screenshot example: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/tashamay/Picture2.jpg
    On the Petfinder.com page specifically, if I go directly to their home site everything is fine, but once I try and search the results come up all messed up.
    I also have a problem with it when I try andl log into gmail. "Loading" comes up on the screen in the garbled text font as if it's trying to load an applet, but nothing happens. I eventually get the spinning rainbow of death and have to force quit.
    Any ideas?

    Hello tashamay:
    I am not an expert in font issues, but you may have corrupt fonts. Open "font book.' Select all and run resolve duplicates. Then select all and run validate fonts. I also have read that Helvetica fractional fonts have caused some rendering problems.
    I would also clear the Safari cache again.

    Call the Apple store asap. Let them know what is going on, and make an appointment with the genius.  Make sure it gets taken care of before your 1 year warranty runs out in 2 months (unless you have AppleCare).  If this issue was happening and was "fixed", obviously it wasn't and Apple needs to take care of this.

    SOMETHING ABOUT THE HARD DRIVE  SYMBOL START UP?

    If you mean Safari extensions, that's OK. Extensions are not necessary in order to use Safari.

    From the Safari menu bar, select

  • More garbled text in Safari 3.2.1 Tiger

    I'm running the latest Tiger 10.4.11 with all of the various updates and recently I've noticed that some web pages are loading with garbled text. This usually occurs with formatted text, like bold, a different color, italic, etc. If I open the exact same page (using the "develop" menu item) with either Camino or FireFox, I can actually read the page with no garbled text.
    What gives? I've dumped the font caches (with FontFinangler) and even reinstalled Safari, with exactly the same result. I shouldn't be getting nonsense words when using my favorite web browser.
    It seems that others have experienced this same issue with Safari while running Leopard.

    The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
    Give it a shot. Good luck.

  • Garbled text in Safari webpages

    I'm unable to read paragraphs of webpages, in particular the Apple Startpage. Paragraph copy within the "Top Stories" section is some kind of garbled text I do not recognize. I've seen the same in other websites, but not always.
    I've scanned all the posts about removing Helvetica fractions, and Times Phonetic, but do not have them. I've resolved all font duplications within fontbook as well. What could be the conflict?
