[SOLVED] Firefox 2.0.0.8 Font Issues

Update: Updating to Firefox 2.0.0.8-2 fixes this problem.
I upgraded from Firefox 2.0.0.7 to 2.0.0.8 and am now experiencing some strange font problems. The font spacing is completely messed up in 2.0.0.8. Anyone else experiencing this?
Here's how it looks in 2.0.0.8:
Here's how it looks in 2.0.0.7 (I downgraded the package):

  • Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Browser Font Issue

    Hi, i'm running lion 10.7.4 on my imac (mid 2011, i7) I have safari, google chrome, and firefox available, but I get the same odd fonts showing up on ebay for example. The font looks like times in some of the menus and sign in area, yet elswhere on the page the fonts look fine. 
    I think it may be a system font glitch but can't seem to find what is causing it.
    I don't have the same problem on my old G5 so can someone help?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Bee, thanks for the help...
    i did load up suitcase and noticed a few fonts that shouldn't have been in the library, so i cleared these out so that I'm back to the base fonts supplied, that's a total of 188 in the library and 37 in the system as far as the apple site shows. Please see attached image with red rings around the fonts issue areas.

  • Browsers (Firefox etc.) have font issues

    Safari can't read all web pages. Mac support suggests Firefox, but when loaded the much of the text reads like this ':=@@*$++?aKHMO=^T6'. When Netscape was downloaded the same issue occurs. Since these issues Safari's speed has degraded significantly.
    When I created another account and downloaded Firefox the font issues don't occur. I don't want to move everything to another account. Is there a solution?

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
    *<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • [SOLVED] X11: Fonts issue with HDL Designer

    Hi,
    Yesterday I installed HDL Designer for my job. But I couldn't launch it successfully.
    After some environment variable checks, it give me this error message:
    Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.
    The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font:
    ISO8859-1
    My locale is set on fr_CH-UTF-8 and the application set LC_ALL to C.
    And after some searchs, I found two non-working solutions:
    A pretty old:
    http://www.edaboard.com/thread1456.html
    I tried to create the old X11R6 directory and then do some symbolic links with no success.
    A recent one with the right applications version:
    http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/solve … er-2013-1/
    I haven't found any equivalent package for "xfonts-75" in the official repositories nor in aur.
    So maybe I missed something like symbolics link 'cause I don't have the sames directories.
    Any idea?
    Thank you.
    [EDIT] Problem solved. I found the missing fonts package (xorg-fonts-75dpi).

  • Font issue with Safari

    I've read of others having font issues with Safari 5.1 and Lion, but I still have Snow Leopard and am having an issue with some fonts showing as a block of As. This occurred when I set up Suitcase Fusion 3, but I did not touch any system fonts. I was able to solve part of the issue with activating Arial in the font manager, but some areas still do not reveal font, most notably, areas marked for username/password on forms. Any ideas?  Btw, I do not seem to have a problem in Chrome or Firefox.

    Thanks, Carolyn. I use a third party font manager but disabling it is not an answer for me. I put some fonts back into the user folder (never touched the fonts in the system library) and resolved SOME of the "A" issues, but not all. I have no problem in Chrome or Firefox. I've tried multiple solutions in the past couple days, including this fix for sandboxing conflict http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/ but then I got permission errors when I tried to change the file. I'm not even running Lion and I'm having this issue.

  • Font issue in Acrobat 8

    We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
    Thanks

    I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
    When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
    If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
    When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
    This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
    Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
    Thanks

  • Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

    Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
    In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
    When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
    If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
    Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

    Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
    Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
    Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

  • [partially solved] firefox and input boxes

    well, i've solved my problem by changing main font from Lucida Grande to another font.
    Last edited by ras0ir (2009-07-14 08:43:05)

    I had exactly the same problem but i didn't want to change my system font because i really like the elegance of 'Lucida Grande'.
    I tried a bit tweaking Firefox with creating userChrome.css but it didn't work for me.
    Then i installed the stylish addon and created a custom userstyle:
    * Bugfix for the firefox input fields when using 'Lucida grande' as system font
    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
    input {
    font-family: sans-serif !important;
    With this workaround all input fields are at the right size again. Of course 'sans-serif' shouldn't again point to 'Lucida Grande' For me it's 'DejaVu Sans'.
    Could someone help me to realize this workaround with a userChrome.css so i don't need the stylish extension anymore?
    Also this tweak applies to all 'input' fields - e.g. to buttons, too. How can i specifiy, that it should only target single-line text inputs?
    cheers

  • Dr. Damien's Developmen​t - The Xylophone Project X - Font Issues and Front Panel Layout

    The Show Raw Data button was made active in this installment. Doing this in a robust fashion was more involved than one might think, due to font and platform issues (remember I want to port this to a Windows Mobile device eventually). The following changes were made.
    The A frequency indicator was made active. This was an oversight from the last update.
    A front panel object, XylophoneFP.lvclass, was created to hold the front panel references and methods.
    The front panel object was used to implement the Show Raw Data button.
    The front panel object was used to compensate for font issues.
    When testing this application on Windows Vista, I noticed that the font differences between Vista and XP were annoying enough that I wanted to fix them. This will also lay the groundwork for any layout issues when porting to Windows Mobile. Usually, I create a cluster containing all my front panel references, but this time I put them into an object. Besides the usual object boilerplate, there are two methods, one to rearrange the front panel and one to show/hide the data graphs.
    Once the controls and indicators are properly arranged, showing and hiding the data graphs is simple. VI server methods are used to find the edges of the outer controls, some whitespace is added, then the front panel size is reset. Arranging the controls in the first place is much more complex. Dialog controls are used, and these controls change size based on the default font size. Font sizes can change due to user preference or when using the application in a different operating system than it was developed in. Button sizes can also change due to localization.
    This problem is difficult to solve cleanly, and the VI which does this, XylFP.lvlib:XylophoneFP.lvclass:ArrangeControls.vi, shows the problem. It relies on the actual sizes of the controls/indicators to rearrange the front panel in a hopefully pleasing fashion. Even though this is a relatively simple UI, the VI is fairly complex. It uses VI server calls to determine the current sizes of controls and then rearrange them. If you choose to do something similar, consider the following hints:
    The Bounds property of all controls is not writable. To change the size of controls, you need to find the property or properties which change the size. There may be more than one (which is why Bounds is not writable). For example, to change the size of a boolean, use the Button Size property.
    In many cases, the property you use to change the size of the control will not be the same value as the Bounds property. Using the boolean again, the Bounds of a 3D LED include the 3D effect around the LED, but the Button Size only includes the LED itself. Comparing the Bounds property to the result of a query to the property you will be setting will give you the necessary offset to convert between the two.
    Make sure you label your wires if you attempt to do things like this. Long wires are very common in this type of programming. It is difficult enough to keep track of things without the added aggravation of having the trace wires back to their source to identify them.
    A few judiciously placed type converters can eliminate many type conversion dots. This is not usually a real problem in this context, but you should get into the habit of efficient programming.
    I will be hiking through the mountains of New Mexico with the Boy Scouts for the next couple of weeks, so do not be dismayed if I do not reply to comments very quickly. However, comments and suggestions are still welcome and encouraged. I will reply when I return.

    I put the event structure in the command loop so that events are processed synchronously.  In the past, I have run into a variety of race condition/synchronization issues when separating the event and command loops and prefer to keep them together to make the program structure simpler.
    It is simpler but you give up any multi CPU performance.  That LV is inherently parallel is one (the only) real advantage over a text based development system.  I can write good structured text that is almost as visually easy to parse as LV.  With modern syntax coloring engines, the difference in icons vs. structured text is not that great.
    But the challenge I give the traditional text coders is to keep track of many mulitple threads.  This is why dataflow is a powerful concept.  Yes it does lead to asynchronous execution but if you impose synchronicity on your code you are working against LV.  I get most first time programs where everything is in a sequence structure.  "Just to be safe".  
    Of course this is much better but  my first design goal is that any application should take advantage of a much hardware as possible, degrade gracefully on slower hardware and play nice with other running applications.  This simpler structure severely handicaps that first goal.
    In this case it is simple enough to "get away" with it since as you point out that there should not be anything that takes significant CPU time.   But that may not be true on the PDA?
    If you are going to run it on the PDA will we be discussing techniques to seamlessly use both NIDAQmx Base and NIDAQmx in the same system?  That is a real challenge.  I look forward to more of this!

  • Font issue with DW

    I'm getting close to finishing my first site.  I recently went online to test it out.  I noticed on the desktop everything seemed fine.  When I looked at it on my ipad I had a bunch of font issues.  That reminded me of what I heard about building font stacks.  I looked into it and I must be missing something because no matter what I do I can't seem to get the fonts to   work on an outside machine.  I'm using DW cs5

    What John is saying is:
    A computer can only display fonts that are installed on it. Anything else will display as unicode characters (looks like heiroglyphics) or if the system can do it, will be substituted with a default font (usually Tahoma or Arial).Try writing a document in WordPad using a custom font, and the delete the font from your system. When you open the document again you will either see an error message warning that the font is unavailable or heiroglyphics where your text was. Browsers don't give any warnings like a word processor does though.
    I have over 4800 different fonts installed so the odds that I'll run into something on a webpage I can't view, in the designed font, are pretty slim.
    The odds of the average user (whose computer only has about 246 fonts installed) seeing your custom font (calamity teen btn) are about one in a billion. Instead, the browser will substitute a "default" font for it, (usually Tahoma or Arial).
    If you are building something for JUST your personal use and you are the only one who will ever see it, use whatever fonts you want. Your system has them installed and can display them in your custom designed webpages. More power to you. BUT...
    If you are building it for the web (and over six billion potential visitors), stick to the standard web fonts.
    Sure, it won't look as fancy as what you've just designed, but at least people will be able to see the fonts and the layout won't be all screwed up when Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome or Safari makes a substitution.

  • Firefox is not displaying some fonts

    Since I upgraded my mac to the new imac and to OS 10.6 I have been having problems with fonts on Firefox. Most of them do not display. In fact, I am sending this message on Safari because Firefox only showed the login, not the ask new question page. I also get messages asking me if I want certain fonts to be used by Firefox on one of my partitions in an external drive. Every thing works fine on Safari.

  • IWeb '09 Random Font Issues

    Saturday, February 7, 2010
    Hello,
    For my website, I am using Arial as my font. For some reason, only certain pages are having font issues once published. The published Arial fonts are changed to Times and also decreased in size.
    I've been trying to figure out the cause, and it appears to occur when fonts are bold or underlined, but some times I have no issues and other times I can't avoid it.
    I've tried deleting the pages and then starting with a blank page but the font issues keep re-occuring.
    Anybody else experience this and is there a way to solve this?
    Thank you in advance!
    Jeff

    The first thing you need to establish is whether this problem is with iWeb or publishing.
    To do this you need to publish to a local folder by clicking your website name at the top of the left column in the iWeb window and selecting that option on the publishing options page.
    This will give you a folder of files and an index.html file. Double click the index file to launch your site in the browser and see if the errors are present. If they are, the problem is in iWeb. If they aren't, then you have a publishing problem.

  • Font issues after OS 10.4.9 update

    Hi, I just updated my macbook pro yesterday and am having font issues now. I noticed the date in iCal is messed up, also certain webpages and email are garbled up.
    for example most of the text on this page http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is messed up in safari it looks all garbled. While in firefox and camino that same page looks fine.
    On a side note, my startup after updating took forever. After it finally finished upon opening font book I see all of my fonts have been activated. They weren't before I did the update.
    Any thoughts?

    for example most of the text on this page
    http://cardboardrocket.com/pages/paginating_find is
    messed up in safari it looks all garbled.
    No one else is going see anything wrong with this page unless they have the same problem you do. You need to provide screenshots.
    But the normal cause of garbled text is the presence of the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic. Dump them if you have them. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).

  • Why does firefox want to use different fonts on mounted hard drives

    On Mac OS 10.6.5 using Firefox 3.6.12 upon opening Firefox, I get a dialog box that says "Firefox want to use the font "TremorlTC TT" on the volume "USB BU".
    This happens for both of my external hard drives. It gives me the options: Show in Finder Don't Allow or Allow. I have tried all 3 and neither solves the problem.

    Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts:
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to Computer
    # Select all User fonts.
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts
